WBY of the team stood nervously as they watched their professor standing still with wide eyes after their leader answered her question.
'We are so boned!'
'Please don't give us detention!'
'Damn it.'
"Hello, Miss Goodwitch?" Ruby asked with her head titled to the side.
After a while, Goodwitch snapped out of her trance and put on a stern look on her face.
"Not again..." She whispered hoping no one would hear it but a certain faunus did. Said faunus raised an eyebrow as she wondered what their professor meant.
"You four, come with me." Glynda said then turned around and walked a few feet away from the following team. Each of them hoping they aren't in trouble.
The group went in an elevator to their headmaster office. Inside glynda tried her best to keep as much distance as she can from Ruby but due to tight space of the elevator, she can't.
A bell rang and the doors opened. The group was surprised when they saw their professor exit when the doors where wide enough for her to go through.
Awkwardly, team RWBY followed her until they stood in front of their headmaster's desk. The team look around the office and saw a lot of gears. A lot.
Ozpin heard his assistant stand beside her and raised his head but his eyes are still focused on his desk.
"Good morning, Glynda and team RW-" He stopped when his eyes looked at the team and darted immediately towards the five year old on the blonde's shoulders.
The huntresses in training looked at him confused due to his sudden stop and watched as their headmaster reach for his mug and took a big swig.
The headmaster put his mug on top of his desk and released a long sigh as he slumps onto his chair. "Oh dear not again..." He muttered.
"Not again?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ozpin sat up straight and linked his fingers while resting his chin on them. "It seems it has happened again."
"What? Ow!" Yang asked then suddenly yelped when she felt Ruby pull on her hair. Her eyes turned red then heard Ruby giggling.
"That." Ozpin said pointing at the giggling five year old. "This has before, ladies." He said gaining their attention, most of their attention.
"Before? Headmaster please elaborate more." Weiss asked as she tried hee best not to look at her giggling partner.
"Every generation one student is mysteriously turned into a five year old. We do know that this is temporary but we can't say when exactly will they turn back." Ozpin started explaining.
WBY listened but Yang is now holding her sister in her arms as the said sibling was struggling to get free.
"We have documentations about these events." Opzin said as Glynda started typing on a scroll then showing files with dates and team names.
"From what we gathered, the student turns into a five year old for an unknown time. During that time, the student from time to time will act like a five year old mentally." Ozpin explained as the team looked at the files.
"Hey it's our parent's team." Yang pointed out as she saw her and Ruby's parent's team name with Ruby now happily clapping.
"Ah, yes. Team STRQ, I still remember that event. Would you like to guess who turned into a five year old?" Ozpin asked with nostalgia.
"Um...My dad?" Yang asked unsure.
"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby answered excitedly.
Ozpin chuckled but shook his head. "I'm afraid none of those are correct. The answer is your mother, Raven, Ms. Xiao Long." He said cause the blonde's eyes to widen.
"What?!"
"It was you mother who was turned into a five year old and Let me tell you, she was very tough to handle." Ozpin said chuckling as he looked at his assistant who was looking far away.
"She used the event as a chance to reek havoc unto anyone. Us included. Pranks here and there, occasionally accidentally breaking someone's bone then playing it off acting like a child and getting extra deserts from the mess hall. She was very wild unless she was with a certain someone."
Glynda shivered as she buried memories rose from the depth of her mind.
"And that certain someone was your mother, Miss Rose." Ozpin finished.
"Mommy?" Ruby asked confused with her head tilted cutely causing the heiress', who saw it, knees to weaken but fought through it with her will.
"It seems Miss Rose is showing signs of acting like a five year old." Ozpin said as his eyes never leaving the teen turned child.
Glynda on the other hand was thinking of ways to get a vacation until her student turned back to normal.
"Huh?" Yang said as she felt wind on her hair and felt that Ruby was nowhere and saw rose petals in the air. "Uh oh."
"Where did she go?" Blake asked looking around the room along with her team and the professors.
They heard a very familiar giggle and looked up. WBY's eyes widened when they say Ruby hanging upside down on one of the horizontal spinning cog. Panic soon filled the room when they saw that another cog was going to grind into the cog where their leader was hanging upside down.
Thankfully the gears stopped turning and the team looked at the headmaster who pressed a button causing it to stop then let out a sigh of relief.
Now the teams current goal is to get their leader down from the motionless cogs.
"How did she get up there?" Blake asked.
"Come down from there, young lady!" Yang shouted acting how a big sister should. Though as she finished saying that line, she started having flashbacks of the time she took care of Ruby causing a smile to form on her face.
"Nuh uh." Ruby shouted back blowing a raspberry then hid behind the cog
"What?! You are in so much trouble when you get down here!" The blonde yelled as she started thinking of ways to get her sister down.
"Hey Ruby, how about we get some strawberries?" Blake asked and watched their leader thinking.
"Mmm...NoPe." Ruby said popping her head out and the P then started giggling and hid back again
"Well, I tried." Blake said to her team.
Weiss then tried her idea and pull out a pack of their leader's favorite food with the bag crinkling.
Suddenly the giggling stopped and the team looked around.
"Ruubyy! I have coo-oof!" Weiss yelled but was cut off then something red landed in her arms, almost causing her to fall forwards and took the bag from her.
Looking down, she saw her partner stuffing cookies in her mouth.
"That solved that problem." Blake commented.
"Why do you have cookies?" Yang asked.
"N-none of your concern." Weiss snapped nervously.
Weiss watched her leader causing a small smile to form on her face. "You dolt." She said then pinched Ruby cheek. Suddenly her face turned red as she gently squeezed her partner's cheeks. "Haa~! So soft!" She squealed mentally while maintaining a stern look physically.
The team heard chuckling a saw it was from the headmaster. "It seems that Miss Rose is in capable hands." He praised. "Other teams except yours and your parents handled the first situation poorly."
Looking at his wrist, which didn't have a watch, his head suddenly snapped back up. "Oh would you look at time. The mess hall has finished making breakfast and I advise you to get there before it runs out. After all the saying goes 'the early bird gets the worms'." Ozpin said quickly but not as quick as Oobleck as he pushed the team into the elevator and pressing the main floor button.
When the elevator door's closed, his shoulder's sagged and let out a long sigh. "Can we get a generation of students where this doesn't happen?" Ozpin asked to no one then made his way back to his desk.
He sat down and that was when he heard his assistant say.
"Headmaster Ozpin." She said
"Yes, Glynda?" He asked while waving his mug causing the contents to gently spin.
"May I take my three month vacation early?" Glyda asked with a blank face but inside she was sweating with both of her finger crossed while repeatedly saying 'please say yes.'
Ozpin took a sip from his mug then put it down on his desk. 'No way I'm dealing with this alone.' He said to himself.
"Hmm...NoPe." He answered hiding a smirk causing Glyda's mental self to curl into a ball and cry.
