Day before the Wedding – 3:15PM

"I'm going to kill her."

Blake watched as Weiss paced in front of her with all the grace and elegance of a Schnee and the rage of a rampaging Ursa. As amusing as it was at first, Blake worried for the heiress. It had now been almost two days since they had last heard from Ruby and the others. In hindsight, maybe allowing Yang to drag her younger sister away for an innocent night of 'fun' three days before the wedding wasn't the brightest idea.

"I'm going to wrap my hands around that insufferable oaf's neck the instant I see her!" Weiss shrieked before turning around to face the Faunus. Her eyes glinted dangerously as they narrowed. "You're going to help explain to my fiancé why her sister suddenly disappeared."

Blake sighed and returned the heiress' glare with a flat look. "As much as I'd love to bury your dirty deeds from our team leader," She began dryly, "I don't think Ruby would appreciate being a single child on the day of her wedding, Weiss."

"You can't be sure of that," Weiss groused darkly before turning to the only other occupant in the room. "Have you gotten any word from Jaune?"

Pyrrha sat on the comfortable leather couch located within Weiss' office, a worried frown gracing her lips as she gazed down at her scroll. Her messages were never responded to and her numerous calls were left unanswered. The Huntress bit her lip, wondering why Jaune and the others fell completely out of contact. This was definitely not normal behavior, especially from her team leader who always responded to her calls almost instantly.

"No," She shook her head even as she sent another message through her scroll. Still, she glanced up to offer Weiss a reassuring smile. "But don't worry. I'm sure everything's perfectly fine and they just..." Pyrrha grasped desperately for a plausible explanation. "…got lost?"

Weiss stared at her.

"Alright, so the chances of three grown Huntresses and Hunter getting lost in Downtown Vale are slim," Pyrrha conceded. "But that doesn't mean they won't get back in time for the wedding." She glanced at Blake for help as she tried to reason with the Schnee heiress. "This is Ruby we're talking about, after all. A horde of Grimm couldn't keep her away from you."

"She's right, you know." Blake said from her spot against Weiss' desk. "I'm sure it was just a minor complication and they're already on their way back." Of course, seeing as how Yang Xiao Long was a major factor… Blake wasn't as convinced. Handling Grimm? No problem. Their young leader was as fearless as she was powerful and Blake would never doubt her skills. But this was – most likely – not a horde of Grimm Ruby was facing but rather her older sister. Still, their combined words of reassurance seemed to somewhat mollify Weiss as the young twenty-three year old moved to sit beside Pyrrha, a fond smile on her lips.

"That's true," Weiss admitted quietly, expression soft as she gazed down to twirl the simple yet elegant ring on her left hand. The delicate silver band fit perfectly around her finger like flowing coils. On top, a dark oval ruby gleamed. She thought back on the young Huntress' words as she slid the ring on Weiss for the first time. So I know that you're always with me, huh dolt? The heiress thought to herself, lips curled with that fond smile as her manicured fingertips traced over the gem tenderly.

The other two women in the room allowed her this moment, sharing a knowing look. Nobody could say they were surprised when Ruby finally managed to propose to the heiress. The two had been dating since their second year at Beacon and had even gained the blessing from both Taiyang… and after much convincing, Weiss' father. Still, that hadn't stopped the young brunette from anxiously preparing and stressing over the smallest of details to make sure everything was perfect.

A sudden ringing filled the quiet room and startled the three Huntresses.

Pyrrha's eyes widened as she gazed down at her scroll to check the incoming call. "It's from Jaune!" She said to the others, surprise and relief obvious in her tone as she accepted the call and placed it on speaker for all three to hear. "Jaune! Are you-" The Huntress didn't get to finish as Jaune frantically cut her off.

"Pyrrha!" The usually cheerful Jaune Arc sounded anything but, alerting the three Huntresses in the room that something was definitely wrong. "Pyrrha I don't have much time! We need help!" He cried out, his voice full of panic. Blake and Weiss shared an anxious look while Pyrrha eyed her scroll with worry. "We screwed up- Oh man we screwed up so bad-"

"Jaune," Pyrrha interrupted Jaune's panicked babble with what she hoped was a soothing tone. "Jaune, calm down and take some deep breaths then tell us what happened, alright?"

"You have to help us!" Jaune continued as if he hadn't heard the Huntress, sounding even more frantic as the seconds passed. "We're not in Vale- we're in Downtown Atlas," Three pairs of eyes widened at the sudden information. Ruby, Yang, and Jaune should have only been gone for one night in Downtown Vale.

"A-And I'm not supposed to be calling you b-but after everything that's happened I-" The sound of a door slamming violently against the wall came from Jaune's side of the call followed quickly by a girlish scream and an enraged roar.

"YOU LITTLE TRAITOR! I KNEW YOU WOULD SQUEAL THE MOMENT I TURNED MY BACK ON YOU!" Yang Xiao Long's yell was easy to identify through Jaune's shrill screaming.

The three women eyed the scroll with varying degrees of emotion.

Blake covered her face with a slender hand as she held back a suffering groan, already knowing who was most likely responsible for whatever happened in the last two days.

"TURN IT OFF!" Yang roared through the sound of what seemed to be the start of a scuffle between her and Jaune for his scroll.

"No! We can't fix this by ourselves anymore Yang!" Jaune cried out amongst the chaos. Something crashed to the floor and broke as the struggle continued. A loud animal-like squeal suddenly joined the mess of sounds. It sounded… familiar to the three Huntresses. Almost as if it were coming from a…

"Was that," Blake began, her tone incredulous.

"…a Boarbatusk," Weiss finished, voice utterly flat.

Pyrrha gaped at her scroll, unable to understand what was happening. Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and inhaled deeply. Blake could already feel a migraine forming.

"I said no scrolls, Jaune! Now give me the damn thing already!"

"N-No! We need their help! We need to tell them, Yang!"

"Tell them what? That you married a hooker?!"

The office room went utterly silent other than the sounds coming from Pyrrha's scroll.

The Boarbatusk in the background squealed louder.

Blake and Weiss gaped at the scroll in Pyrrha's now dangerously tight grip, the red haired woman's expression shadowed by her bangs.

The room was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Jaune, Pyrrha's boyfriend of four years and now apparent husband to a hooker from Atlas, wailed as the squeals of the Boarbatusk continued to get louder almost obnoxiously. "You know it meant nothing!" He cried desperately, the scuffle now turning into what seemed like and outright struggle for the scroll. "At least I'm not the one who lost their own sister in another continent one day before her WEDDING!"

The temperature in the room plummeted drastically.

Blake could actually see her breath ghosting in front of her. She'd be impressed if she wasn't slightly terrified at the look the Schnee heiress held. Terrified for Yang, that is. Not for the first time, Blake wondered if Yang liked flirting with death.

"Shut up! Shut up! You know we can totally find her!" Yang cried out as she panicked, knowing that the magnitude of their problem was heard through their line. The Boarbatusk must have despised the lack of attention it was receiving because it now started squealing with a vengeance, eager to ruin its enemies hearing if it couldn't gouge them out. "SUN! FOR THE LOVE OF- SHUT THAT THING UP!"

Sun…? Sun went along with them..? Of course, Blake thought, the last shred of hope she had for this situation shriveling up and dying in some dark, damp corner.

"Dude, I'm not the one that put the Boarbatusk in the bathroom…" The monkey Faunus' complaint could barely be heard through the commotion.

A suddenly triumphant sound left Yang's lips along with a distraught shout from Jaune before the line cut off abruptly.

A deafening silence filled the office room.

Blake gazed at the two silent Huntresses, contemplating on how to breach the subject.

"So," Amber eyes peered at Weiss first before focusing on Pyrrha.

Pyrrha remained silent, expression still hidden as she gazed down at her scroll.

"Can someone explain to me," Weiss began, her voice as frigid as the land she was born in, cutting through the air dangerously as she rose from her position on the couch with a grace only few could ever hope to replicate. "Why we allowed Yang Xiao Long to drag my fiancé out of my sight days before our wedding?"

The scroll in Pyrrha's hand abruptly broke as the Huntress' iron-like grip crushed it with no hope of it ever being repaired. Pyrrha raised her head, a smile that promised nothing short of pain and death as the broken pieces of her scroll fell from her hands to the floor.

"Someone should also explain to me why Jaune," the pieces that remained in her hand did an impressionable job of turning into dust, "…married a hooker?"

Keeping in mind that two of the most well-known and renowned Huntresses of their lifetime were seething a few feet in front of her, Blake responded their questions with all of the seriousness and caution this situation deserved.

"In hindsight, maybe letting Yang drag Ruby and Jaune off wasn't the most… Weiss idea," Blake responded dryly.

The banshee-like screech that immediately followed and almost blew her eardrums was well worth it. After all, with Yang as good as dead, someone had to pick up the burden of making puns in their team. She might as well start practicing now.

Author's Note: Sooooo yeah. First fanfic. The idea is somewhat inspired by the movie The Hangover but I'll be keeping the crazy shit that goes down (hopefully) somewhat logical to the RWBY universe. Or, as much as I possibly can. Hope you guys enjoyed the prologue and any helpful criticism is most welcomed!
