Ruby let out a large yawn as she and her team walked through the Forever Falls forest, the namesake leaves of the forest littering the ground as they walked, each of the members having a jar of red sap in their arms. Yes, it was the weekend, but Nora had promised them some of her special "lightning cakes" if they did this for her. Yes, it's an odd name for pancakes, but the rest of team JNPR and RWBY knew one thing; they were absolutely DELICIOUS.

Which is why the team of huntresses-in-training were in the forest, Ruby walking next to her girlfriend/heiress of the Schnee Dust company; Weiss Schnee. She smiled a bit before playfully pecking her loves lips, which would cause a slight blush to paint itself onto the heiresses cheeks.

"R-ruby! N-not in front of your sister." The Ice queen blushed a bit as she looked down at the sticky red sap within her jar, her blush still on her cheeks, which would make the red huntress next to her giggled.

"Awwww, come on princess! Yang doesn't care. Well, she doesn't care when she and Blake are playing tonsil hockey I mean. But still, she's fine with us."

"If you say so…" She sighed, the sun slowly beginning its descent back towards the horizon. "I still can't believe it took an entire day just to collect this much sap."

"Well, we did have to kill some Grimm in the area to make it safe." Yang smiled a bit as she dipped a finger into the sap before licking it clean, her mouth letting out a happy sigh at the sweet taste.

"Not to mention the rapier wasps." Blake would shiver a bit as her ears splayed backwards.


Thirty minutes ago

"RUN AWAAY!" Yang shouted as she and Blake ran for dear life, a hive of very angry, and VERY hungry Rapier wasps chasing them, Weiss internally groaning as she brought out her sword.

"Seriously, how do you manage to not only drop a jar of sap onto yourself, but also knock over a hive of the blasted things?!"

"Maybe they wanted a sweet treat with as they got more sap?" Ruby looked at Weiss as she sat on Crescent rose in its scythe form, it having created a sort of bench for the huntress since the blade was currently embedded into a tree trunk.

"Maybe the next time they want a bit of sweetness to their make out sessions, then maybe they should just, hmmm, I dunno, buy some honey?!" The heiress groaned as she used her semblance to encase the attacking wasps in a small box created by four glyphs, Blake and Yang already in a nearby river to try and hide from the wasps.


"Now I have another thing added to the things I hate list." Blake groaned a bit as the four continued to walk, a slight breeze going through the trees as Yang chuckled and kissed the faunus next to her.

"Hey, at least we still got the sap."

This would cause the usually neutral faced faunus to smile as she returned the blonde's kiss, which would make said blonde giggle.

As the four of them walked, Ruby noticed that one of the trees seemed a bit...odd. It wasn't that it looked different from the others, it's just that it looked like something was caught in its routes. Could it be a weapon? Or maybe a small item? The curiosity was just killing her by now!

"Hey guys, I'll catch up to you, I'm gonna go check something out!" The huntress smiled before rushing over to the tree, which was surrounded by bushes, before anyone could put in a protest.

What Ruby would find was that there was indeed a small cubby-like hole at the base of a tree, a shiny metal like object shining from deep within. The red-clad huntresses thoughts ran slightly wild as she reached in and began to tug on the object, it not even budging. This would make her brows furrow before she tugged even harder, although during the entire time as she tugged with more and more strength, two sets of blood red eyes watched from the bushes, readying themselves for the inevitable.

"Aha!" Ruby smirked as she felt the object give way, her falling backwards as she held it close. "Gotcha!" She smiled happily, although that smile would turn into a frown once two black creatures leaped out towards her.


"Ruuuby! You've been gone long enough! It's time we got back to Beacon already!"

The heiress huffed as she retraced her steps through the forest, her arms crossed as she continued with her trek. It was starting to get late, the evening sun painting the sky in a menagerie of colors. Throughout the trek, the only companion that Weiss had was the sounds of the chirping birds along with the occasional creek. Yet this orchestra of natural sounds would be soon interrupted by a sound that Weiss knew all too well; the growls of a beowulf.

On instinct alone, Weiss drew her rapier as she began to inch towards the sounds, her eyes now recognizing the tree they were coming from; the same exact tree her girlfriend had been attracted to. unpleasant thoughts crept into her mind as she got closer and closer, her stomach slightly churning while her breathing got faster, and when the heiress was close enough, she hopped out into the open and pointed her rapier at her new enemy…

"Oh? Hi there Weiss!" Ruby smiled happily as she looked at her girlfriend, a small Grimm currently in her arms. Even though it didn't have any spikes, its tell tale mask and wolf like appearance had already confirmed it was a beowulf, but a puppy? That was in all honesty unheard of. "Sorry if I made you worried, but these two are just soooo cute!"

"T...two?" Weiss's eye twitched before her gaze was directed to the once full jar of red sap, a small ursa cub currently licking the inside of it clean of the sticky substance, its fur slightly matted in a few places before its head poked out of the jar, one of its ears folded over an eye.

"Mhm! You see, I was pulling the thing I found out of the mud, and next thing I know, Bigby here is clamped down onto my hood while Grawl is eating the red sap." She giggled a bit while the Beowulf puppy in her arms squirmed out of them before rolling over and onto its belly, its tongue lolling out of its mouth while its tail wagged happily.

"Y...you named them?!" The twitch in Weis's eye only got progressively worse as she stared at her overly calm partner.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

"...Ruby, Grimm. Are not. Pets! They are soulless killing machines."

"Awwww….but these two are sooo cute!" Ruby gave Weiss her signature puppy face while she held up Bigby, the wolf pup giving Weiss the same puppy eyes. "Don't you think they're just adorable?"

"Adorable! How could something so evil!" She looked at the two, her getting to Bigby's eye level. "Despicable." Bigby's eyes became slightly bigger as his tail wagged slightly, the heiress's gaze softening. "No good." Bigby would lick her nose, his demeanor going to its happy self. "Absowutewy cwute wittle puppy ever not be adowable?" And that is when Weiss's resolve broke down. By now she didn't care if it was a Grimm or not, because she was in any real danger, then she wouldn't be holding the thing while scratching its stomach, which caused Ruby to giggle.

"See! I told you Weiss!" She smiled as she picked up Grawl and held the ursa close, said baby Grimm slightly yet playfully chewing on Ruby's arm. "These two are just so cute."

"Yup…." Weiss sighed a bit. "But we can't take them back to the dorm."

"Awww…..why not Weiss?"

"...Ruby, are you being serious right now?" She raised her brow before sighing when she got a confused look from her girlfriend. "You dolt. Let me play it out for you. Oh hi there Professor Ozpin! Professor Glynda! Ruby and I decided to go out into the forest and bring back two baby Grimm that'll be highly dangerous when they grow up. Oh don't worry, yes there's a no pets allowed policy on campus, but can you let that slide juuust this once?" Each word Weiss spoke was in a faux actors accent before she looked at Ruby, the red huntress nodding a bit.

"Oh please oh please oh please oh please! Can we? I promise that we can hide them!"

"What about Blake and Yang." Her expression was flat as she leaned against a nearby tree, the sun already beginning to dip under the horizon.

"Hey, all we need to do is spray our sheets every day with perfume so Blake doesn't smell dog, and plus, Yang wouldn't even notice another "plushie" on one of our beds, am I right?" She smiled as she leaned against the tree that Weiss was leaning against, a smirk painted onto her lips.

At first, the heiress scowled as she groaned, her scowl soon turning into a frown, and then finally into a small, yet annoyed smile.

"Alright then. But if anyone finds out, this was all your idea, okay?"

"Oh thank you!" She smiled and kissed her lovingly. "I promise you that nobody will ever find out!"

The heiress chuckled a bit as she gave Bigby back to Ruby before picking up Grawl, her slightly grunting from the surprisingly heavy ursa cub. "Don't mention it Ruby. Now let's get back to beacon before they send out search parties." At that, Ruby nodded, and soon enough, the two of them were off with their new pets in their arms. Because, what can go wrong when you have two future killing machines cuddling into you, right?

…..right?
