A/N: Chapter 3 of Bad Luck Rose is here, peeps. Normally, the two people I ship Qrow with are Winter (obviously) and Summer, mainly due to the fact that I seriously believe Ruby is the product of Summer and Qrow, due to several small details that speak volumes. PM for the reasons…I'm kinda lazy. This chapter does contain some good Bumblebee fun (ship that shit harder than the Titanic) and a fun appearance of everyone's favorite Rooster Teeth medic.

And yes, this will be age appropriate until Ruby is of age. Do I look like Rob Lowe to you? Off-topic, new username

Bad Luck Rose

Summary: Qrow let out a frustrated sigh as he picked up his glass, swirling the liquid within. "Dammit. Why does it have to be you?" She leaned her head against his shoulder, looking at him with teary eyes. "Because…I love you."

*Chapter 3*

Ruby helped Weiss walk over to the medical station, the borderline grouchy girl possibly suffering some burns after sacrificing herself to try and take out Flynt. "Come on Weiss, you're okay." Weiss let out a cough, covered in ash from the mini volcanoes that were in the tournament floor, and she gave her partner an exasperated look through eyes laden with exhaustion. "Ruby…I sound horrible, and feel like crap. If I don't end up roasted like a duck at Thanksgiving, I'll be amazed."

The field medic was a nervous looking man with a strange purple device, and it had a neon green light on the tip. "Uh, hi…I'm Medical Officer DuFrane. But you can call me Doc. I'll check and see if you're okay." He aimed his device at Weiss, and the white-haired girl backed up as it began to glow. "Wait, what in the name of Remnant is that thing!? That's not going to do anything weird to me, is it? Like give me radiation poisoning?"

"Oh, no, nothing like that," Doc laughed lightheartedly. "This thing is as harmless as a fly. All it can do is light up green. It takes quite a few years of training to tell the difference between the shades of green." He pointed it at himself, and it began to glow vibrantly. "Like this one shows sterilization. Wait…that causes sterilization. Ah well. It's not like I was planning on using it anyway, so no harm done. But yeah, it takes a lot of training to tell the difference. That's why doctors have to go to school for so long. Not that I'm actually a doctor."

"And that couldn't be more clear after witnessing what you did five seconds ago," Weiss grumbled. "Do they just let anyone take exams these days? Where are you even from, the moon?" Ruby bit back a laugh, covering her mouth at the white-haired girl's sarcasm and grumpiness. 'Oh my…is this a check-up or a roast?' She (and the rest of her team) had been on the receiving end of her partner's cynical sense of humor countless times over the last year, but she was impressed at how the medic took it.

"Actually, I'm from Vacuo," Doc replied. "I did take the MKAT, though."

"Wait, you passed the most rigorous exam known in Remnant?"

"Haha…not even close. I only passed the section where they asked if it was physically possible for a male, human or Faunus, to give birth to a creature that was only capable of saying 'Honk' or 'Blarg'," Doc laughed. "The obvious answer would be 'no', but I've seen some weird things in life. Particularly in certain families where they like to…well, sleep with each—"

"I think it would be a good idea to not continue that sentence," a dry, familiar, and slightly intoxicated voice grumbled from behind Ruby and Weiss. They jumped in surprise, and Ruby let out a cheer as she saw her favorite drunken uncle, while Weiss rolled her eyes. "Uncle Qrow! What are you doing here?" 'Is it me…or is he less intoxicated when he's around me?'

Qrow looked at the medic, and he snorted as he rubbed his eyes. "I'm looking for my favorite flask, which has since gone missing. I have a sneaking suspicion that someone stole it, particularly someone blonde, bad at jokes, and has a temper tantrum for a semblance. Does that ring any bells?" Ruby laughed, knowing full well who he meant. "Hmm…I did see her and Blake running towards the airships to go back to the school after the last round. Maybe they have it?" 'Sis…did you really take his favorite flask? That's the one I had Dad buy him as a birthday gift this year!'

Qrow rubbed his head with a grumble, his red eyes unamused. "I swear, that girl is starting to become an alcoholic. Ruby, she hasn't pressured you into following in those footsteps of hers, has she?" The innocent member of Team RWBY shook her head, trying to repress a blush from surfacing on her cheeks as her uncle talked to her. "Mmm…no…" 'I couldn't possibly be a party girl like her.'

"It wouldn't be the first thing she picked up from you, you dusty old birdman," Weiss grumbled, wiping a bit of ash from her cheek and looking at her ruined clothes in disgust. "Ugh! I'm going to have to send this back to Atlas to get these stains out!" It was no secret that Weiss was almost obsessed with high-end fashion, and that her current outfit was by far her favorite combat skirt. And as a result, high fashion came along with a certain disgust for any kind of stains that could possibly end up on the expensive clothing. 'She's got an addiction to that skirt.'

"Who are you calling old?"

"You. You are a dirty old man who ought to be ashamed of himself for being intoxicated around teenagers," Ruby's partner returned dryly. "I imagine you're the one who tells Yang all kinds of crappy glory stories from his far away youth." Ruby held a hand over her hand to prevent from laughing too hard, and Qrow ignored the comment as they walked towards an airship to get back to Beacon. 'I wonder what she means about glory stories. Though I suppose Yang will tell me them eventually.'

As she walked with her favorite uncle, the innocent member of Team RWBY had to repress the overwhelming urge to leap onto his back and make him give her a piggyback ride. Normally, he was almost always prepared for the inevitable attempt at an ambush, but this time, he had an almost distant look in his red eyes, as if he was deep in thought about something. His hands were in his pockets, and he was slouching as they boarded the airship. 'I wonder what's wrong with him.'

'It almost seems as though something's eating him from the inside.'

Yang giggled as she passed the flask over to Blake, the cat Faunus looking at her drunken girlfriend in amusement. "You're pretty funny when drunk. And this stuff is pretty good. That dusty old crow you call an uncle has some good taste." Blake took a sip that turned into a gulp, and she passed it back. 'It's really good. It doesn't taste like rubbing alcohol.'

The two had broken into the room Qrow was using for his stay in Beacon and stole his flask and a good majority of his liquor stash after the match with Neon and Flynt. And after maybe only three good chugs of the huntsman's whiskey, Yang was completely plastered and beginning to meow and purr like a cat who just consumed a bag of catnip. 'As much as I love you, you really have no tolerance. What kind of party girl are you?'

Blake meanwhile was still able to function, despite feeling a powerful buzz beginning to grow. The only two people she could think of who get utterly wasted quicker than the blonde were Jaune and Ruby, mainly because they were both kind of dolts and would end up drunker than Qrow in under five minutes. 'Strong, but not as bad that sake my mother used to keep back in Menagerie. I remember when I attempted to drink with them on my fifteenth birthday and blacked out in less than ten minutes; I don't know how I made it to bed on my own.'

"Meow meow~!" Yang drunkenly giggled, getting on all fours and crawling like a cat, pretending as though she was stalking a mouse. Blake rolled her eyes, and though she wanted to give her girlfriend a hard cuff on the head, the sight was pretty damn funny; the cat Faunus was incredibly tempted to pull out her scroll and record the events for later laughs and possible blackmail material. 'You know what…screw it. I'm recording this.'

Blake reached her hand into her shorts to get her scroll when Yang suddenly tackled her playfully, taking her by surprise. "Waah! Yang!" She wound up on her back, and the blonde's hazy lilac eyes met her amber, filled with love. "Have I ever told you just how beautiful you are to me?"

Blake blushed, her hands sliding up Yang's toned long legs. "You have…though not when drunk." The thought of having a drunken make-out session with her girlfriend/partner wasn't something that crossed her mind, particularly as she didn't want to recall one of the many repressed memories of Adam taking advantage of her. But knowing that Yang wasn't him, and would never be him, the emo cat Faunus locked her arms around Yang's neck, pulling her in for a slow kiss. "I love you…so much." 'Whelp…there goes trying to record her meowing.'

"I love you too, Blakey~," the blonde slurred, kissing back and trying to shake her way out of her shorts. With a good amount of wriggling, Yang managed to discard them, and she tossed them over her shoulder haphazardly. The black clothing landed on her girlfriend's bed, and to no surprise to Blake, she was wearing bright yellow panties with a vibrantly burning sun embroidered on them. "You…are unbelievable…" 'Even her underwear has that pattern. So terrible.'

"I burn only for you~," Yang purred drunkenly, her lips feverishly sucking on Blake's neck. The cat Faunus let out a soft moan of pleasure as her girlfriend sucked on the tender skin, and her body warmed up as she felt Yang's teeth gently graze against it. "A-ahhh…Yang…" She knew she would end up with hickeys on her neck the next day and would probably receive jabs from Weiss, but she didn't care. Right now, she was willing to take those jabs to be romantic with her fiery blonde girlfriend before the rest of her team showed up and ruined the moment.

Yang's lips left her neck, and she started to rub against Blake with a needy purr. "I want you…so much…" Blake blushed, and she went to give her a loving kiss when her cat ears caught the sound of their teammates' voices, along with Qrow's. 'Uh oh. It figures that when we're right about to have fun, they would come along. Dammit.'

She opened her mouth to warn her blonde girlfriend about the incoming trouble when Yang kissed her passionately, her tongue sliding into the cat Faunus's open mouth. The sudden entry caught her completely off-guard, and she let out a muffled moan of surprise as the door to their dorm burst open, and in the doorway stood Weiss, Ruby, and the drunken birdman Yang and Ruby called an uncle. 'Ah…crap. This is beyond awkward.'

Qrow let out a sigh, though the look in his slightly intoxicated eyes suggested that inside he was laughing like a lunatic. "So, this is what I find when I go looking for my flask. My niece is half-naked and drunkenly trying to make out with her emo cat girlfriend. Just what I needed." Weiss was shaking her head in disapproval, covering Ruby's eyes with her hands, and her unamused stare met Blake's. "Real mature…you two are unbelievable."

The cat Faunus blushed, trying to push Yang off of her to no avail, and mouthed out to the grouchy heiress. 'Help me!' 'Dammit. I knew this would happen. I just knew it.' Qrow scoffed as he stumbled into the room, plucking his flask from the floor and shaking his head when he found out it was empty thanks to the two girls. "Yang, you and I are going to have a little talk when you sober up. But for now, I have only four words: stop stealing my whiskey."

"Mreow mreow?" Yang looked up drunkenly, and Blake took the opportunity to push the blonde off of her. "You know, that other cat was right; you are top heavy." Blake was probably the only one who was able to get away with making comments about Yang's large bust, and her intoxicated girlfriend let out a meow of protest as she fell on her back. "My bigs aren't boob."

Ruby managed to peel Weiss's hands off of her eyes, and she looked at her uncle with a hint of red on her cheeks. "Um, Uncle Qrow…? I, um…"She seemed to lose her tongue for a second, and Qrow gave her shoulder a borderline fatherly squeeze. "Don't worry kiddo. Your sister will be fine soon."

"No, it's not that!" Ruby's face was red with embarrassment, and Blake's ears twitched under her bow; she had kept her mouth shut about how Ruby felt towards her drunken bird of an uncle from the rest of her team, and had a strange feeling in the knot of her stomach. 'Ruby, time and place. Now isn't the best time, and right in front of your team really isn't the place. Please, don't do anything really dumb…'

Qrow's brow tweaked in curiosity, and he tilted his head in confusion when the voice of their headmaster reached them. "Qrow, if you mind, General Ironwood and Glynda are coming soon for our meeting; we don't need you being late." The black-haired huntsman let out a sigh, and he gently messed up Ruby's hair before walking out of their dorm, giving Blake an amused wink that basically said, 'Welcome to the family.' "Yeah, yeah…I'll be right there. Catch you kids later."

Qrow left to go with Ozpin, and Ruby started to look disappointed when Weiss let out a frustrated noise, stalking over towards the cat Faunus. "Okay, you two have some explaining to do!"

"…um, Weiss?"

"What?"

"Take a shower; you look utterly ridiculous covered in ash," Blake muttered. She caught Ruby's silver gaze, and she gave a slight shake of the head. 'Don't worry…there'll be another time to talk to him. I seriously doubt he's going to be in a hurry to leave this place, with both of his nieces here.'

'He has the same look in his eyes, too. I wonder if he feels the same.'

A/N: Sorry, but that's it for this one. Sorry it took so long to come out…real life is a serious bitch at times, you know?
