A/N And now for some Ladybug filler penned by Slayer_ONE to pass the time until the next update (which will probably take a little while longer, so bear with me!) Thanks for all of the reviews and faves so far, you guys are great! :D

Sometime later, Ruby and Blake returned to their dorm after a long trip to Vale, only to find their other two teammates curled up against each other in Weiss's bed, fast asleep. Ruby glanced from Weiss to her sister, and then back at Blake, a small smirk forming at the corners of her lips.

"They look comfortable, don't they?" she said teasingly as the darker girl walked past her to her own bunk.

"Sure...I prefer my own bunk with a good book, though," Blake replied monotonously as she walked over to the bookshelf to select an aged tome. She laid down on her bed and opened the book. Ruby lowered herself to the rocking chair by the door, and continued to watch her sleeping sister and partner.

"...I'm trying to decide if I should tease them about this when they wake up, or not," the young leader commented aloud before pondering the repercussions, and frowning slightly. Then again, I don't want Yang to kill me.

The ninja turned a page in her book, expression stoic as ever. "Do whatever you want, Ruby. Just remember who you're dealing with."

"Ha, I'm not afraid of Weiss! Yang on the other hand... Well, I'm still going to tease them. This will make good blackmail someday." Ruby excitedly considered the possibilities.

Blake looked up from her book to gaze quizzically at her leader. "Do you really think your sister of all people would hurt you? I think the overzealous hugs are about as bad as it gets when it comes to you..."

Ruby thought about this for a moment, narrowing her eyes in thought. "Hmm, good point..." She snapped her fingers. "Oooh! I know! I'll just get her to help me blackmail Weiss!"

Blake sighed before returning to her book, and countering, "That might not be the best of ideas. If Yang is sleeping with Weiss and Weiss isn't protesting, then there are probably some mutual feelings of affection that Yang won't try to mess up."

The brunette shrugged. "You read too many romance novels."

"I read just about any genre. You should know that by now."

Ruby crossed her arms over her chest, forgetting how blunt Blake could be at times. She got up from the rocking chair, and walked over to hers and Weiss's side of the room, glancing at the closed Grimm Studies textbook that rested on Weiss's pillow just a few inches from the white girl's head. "Heh. It looks like they were studying at some point... Weiss must've bored Yang to sleep."

Her teammate rolled her eyes, not once letting her attention leave her book. "Maybe, but then why would Weiss fall asleep next to her?"

Could it be possible that they actually have feelings for each other? Ruby cringed at the thought, and immediately pushed the idea from her mind. "Weiss did mention before that she has a sister... Maybe Yang just reminds her of her sister? I mean, I used to curl up with Yang when we were little, so it's not like a big deal, right?" She waited for a moment to see if Blake would respond, but when the other girl just remained silent, Ruby frowned. "Then again, the Schnee family doesn't really seem like the lovey-dovey type..."

"How about you take the pictures now, then ask them what's going on when they wake up?" Blake suggested, a hint of annoyance in her voice as she was evidently becoming tired of debating the subject.

Ruby raised a curious eyebrow, surprised by the suggestion. "You mean... you're actually allowing me to mess with them? Who are you and what did you do with Blake?"

"If you stop scheming then I get silence to read," the darker girl pointed out. "I hardly see how that isn't a win-win situation."

"...Oh." Ruby turned away from her teammate, slightly hurt by Blake's curt explantation, but she kept her thoughts to herself as she reached into the back of her belt where she usually kept her Scroll. She stared down at the device's screen for a moment as she contemplated taking the picture, wondering if it would come back to bite her in the future. Everything usually does... she reminded herself.

Blake sighed from the other side of the room, and Ruby glanced back, meeting the girl's amber, catlike eyes. The darker girl gave her a stern glare, obviously thinking this to be a terrible idea. Ruby just shrugged her off, and turned back to Yang and Weiss, lifting the lens of her Scroll to the sleeping pair. After a few clicks, she tucked it away in her belt, and went back to sit in the rocking chair.

"There," she said as she plopped down in her seat. "Now we just sit here and wait."

Blake continued to read, ignoring the sounds of Ruby's tapping as the younger girl drummed her fingers against the arm of the chair. After a few moments, Blake's eyes hastily escaped the page, and she did a quick scan the room, her expression slowly changing from one of content to paranoia. "Ruby? ….Where's your... pest?"

"Huh?" Ruby met Blake's fidgety gaze, and got up from her chair once more, glancing up at the bunk hanging over Yang's and Weiss's heads, where she had left her corgi earlier that morning. When she didn't see him there, though, an uneasy feeling started to form in her stomach, and she turned back to her teammate. "I... He was just here this morning."

Silence reigned from the ninja as she slowly closed her book, and climbed on top of Yang's bed. Once she had settled into the mattress, she opened her book again, and resumed her reading, trying to remain calm at the thought of that mutt lurking around. "...Not many places he could have gone..." she whispered.

Ruby let out a thoughtful hum. "If I were a dog, where would I go...?"

Blake frowned. "Really? That's really going to be your strategy?"

"Oh! I know!"

Ruby snapped her fingers, and walked swiftly over to the bathroom on the other side of the room. She noticed that the door was slightly cracked, just enough for a little dog to squeeze through. She held out her hands and pushed the door the rest of the way, her heart immediately skipping a beat as she took in the horrendous sight.

"...Blake?" She squeaked, taking a hesitant step into the toilet paper-covered bathroom. "I think I found him..."

The tiny corgi laid nestled in a bed of toilet paper at the base of the toilet, the cardboard paper holder hanging loosely from his muzzle as he peacefully slept. Half of the shower curtain had been pulled from its rings, and was now hanging at an angle over the edge of the tub, tangled in a mess of the thin, white tissues. "This... is... bad!"

"What'd he do?" her teammate asked vehemently as she scooted a little closer to the wall, careful not to shake Yang's bed too much, otherwise the books that held it could wane and fall.

"Oh, you know, he just destroyed the whole bathroom..." Ruby said casually as she clenched her fists, and walked over to the dog. She stopped, and hovered over him for a moment, feeling somewhat guilty for leaving Zwei by himself while Yang and Weiss slept, but her disappointment largely outweighed her guilt. He knows better than this. "ZWEIIIIII!"

"...Was any of my stuff in there?" Blake asked accusingly as Ruby picked up the dog by its collar, and tossed him out into the bedroom. She started picking up the mound of toilet paper, but stopped when her hand hit something small and thin. She dug the item out from underneath the wad of tissues, and frowned when she noticed the bite marks and missing bristles on the black toothbrush.

"Ummm..." She stuck her head out of the door, and lifted the toothbrush so her teammate could see it. "...This isn't yours, by any chance? 'Cause, um, Zwei ate it..."

Blake let out a low groan. "It... is..." she growled, no longer able to focus on her book. Zwei now had her attention, staring up at the ninja with a look of innocence. She sighed, and looked back up at Ruby. "Do whatever you see fit...though I'm expecting you to buy me a new toothbrush."

"Aww... I was hoping you would yell at him..." Ruby pouted up at Blake. "Usually, Yang's the bad cop, but she's... well, napping..."

The other girl raised both eyebrows, surprised by the cloaked girl's confession. "...You're giving me permission to yell at your dog... that I hate... and you're not going to stop me?"

Her leader winced. "Just go easy on him... He's smaller than you... But yeah, better you than me!"

Blake nearly fell off the bed. Nearly. In piecring silence, the cat Faunus glared down at the corgi. After a few moments of holding a compelling staring contest, Blake cleared her throat, readying herself to lash out at the tiny monster who had been causing her so much trouble for the past couple of months. "You stupid, dumb, mangy mutt!"

Zwei whimpered, his large, puppy-like eyes lowering cautiously to the floor.

"You ruined the bathroom, and my toothbrush! You disgusting little—"

Ruby cut her off by running over to the defenseless dog in a flurry of rose petals. She picked him up off the floor, and shot Blake an offensive glare. "I'm sorry, boy, she didn't mean it. Now, tell her you're sorry and won't ever do it again."

Zwei let out an apologetic cry as someone shifted angrily from Weiss's bunk. Ruby turned her attention to the white and blonde pair, and met Weiss's furious gaze as the heiress sat up in bed.

"Oh... You're awake..." Ruby said sheepishly as she held up Zwei, knowing Weiss couldn't get mad at her if all she saw was the small dog. Yang let out a tired groan, and rolled over to face her sister, her violet eyes blurry with confusion. Ruby let out a hesitant laugh. This is going to be interesting...
