Blake was nervous. In her time of need, Ruby had come to her aid, and read to her. In return she had made cookies. Really, really good cookies if I do say so myself. But somewhere along the lines she had screwed up. Apparently not everyone considers tuna to be a good replacement for chocolate. Okay only Blake did, but that was some damn fine tuna. Now Blake felt doubly bad, because Ruby was sick from the tuna cookies. She didn't know how, Blake had the rest of the cookies, and she felt fine.
She needed to make it right for Ruby. To that end she had enlisted the help of Weiss, seeing as Yang was currently taking care of a very sick Ruby.
Weiss put it simply, "Anything involving Crescent Rose"
Blake raised an eyebrow, "You mean…weapon modifications?"
The heiress curtly nodded, "Yes, although she combs every store for them, she never has enough lien to get the really pricey mods."
Blake nervously rubbed her hands together, looking down pensively, "Right…" These mods sound really REALLY expensive…I only have a few hundred lien to my name… crap. However, Blake heard someone sighing and the sound of rummaging through pockets.
"Here" Blake looked up to see Weiss with a wad of lien, holding the money out to her. It was a LOT of lien, more then she had seen in her entire life. She couldn't but help to stare at the proffered money. "I'm not just doing it for you; it'll get Ruby to annoy you instead of me, so here, take it." Weiss all but pushed the lien into Blake's hand before storming off.

When Blake found herself at the weapon store, she was uncertain. Weiss had given… her a lot. More than she really wanted to know. She knew that Crescent Rose was a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe, which meant there should be standardized modifications for it. Yet looking around the store, she could only find a few, and they were NOT cheap.
Maybe I should of asked Yang, she'd know what Ruby had or didn't have…
In the end she bought everything she could find for it, even buying so much the store clerk let her get something from the grab bag container in the front. Compared to everything else, it was all stuff worth maybe five lien, Blake grabbed something without so much as looking at, throwing it into the huge bag of weapon modifications she had bought.

Blake's head popped through the doorway to the RWBY dorm room, "Ruby?"
A rather sickly looking Ruby stared back, drinking orange juice. Is she still mad at the tuna cookies?
"Um… I got you some weapon mods?" Ruby perked up, a trail of roses appeared as Ruby crowded around Blake
"OOoooo are they in the bags? Can I see? Pretty pleaseeeee?" There was a twinkle in her eyes, like a kid getting presents for Christmas. Blake smiled, Yes, did not screw up this time! Handing over the huge bag to Ruby, the young leader started to rifle through it.
"Optical scope good up to 1500 meters…36 inch folding blade… new bolt model… striped stock… " Ruby listed off each of these as she went through the mound of mods. Blake was starting to worry again. Ruby doesn't seem as excited… did she already have all of this? I got what Weiss said… Ruby pulled out the last of the modifications, She doesn't look as excited as she was… I think she had all of them already, cr-
"YOU FOUND IT!"
Blake considered herself a very well educated, and particularly good with words, having a huge vocabulary, supplemented by years of reading, yet, "Buh-wha?"
Ruby pulled out the mod that Blake had grabbed with no mind out of the grab bag, it looked like some kind of holder for a cylindrical container, probably for dust. But Ruby doesn't use dust like that… only Weiss does I thought.
"I've been trying to find this for ages!" Ruby cooed as she went to fit it onto Crescent Rose. A few minutes later it was on, and Blake still had no idea what it did. Until Ruby put her orange juice into it.
A cup holder.
AU: I think I'm super clever, but this was kind of a stretch I think? Anywho, its funny fluff to me. Updates might be slower then every day now. Sorry :(
Should I continue this? I could make this a actual story, and have them get together, or just keep doing vaguely connected fluff one-shot chapters?
If I could tag this as Friendship/Romance/Humour I would, but alas, I refuse to exclude either Friendship or Romance, as Blake and Ruby are gonna end up together, but aren't at this point...what do you guys and gals think?
