Chapter 4! Thanks again for all the support and all the reviews. I'm trying to get these done as quick as possible, but updates might come slower for a little while (due to extra shifts at work), just as a heads up.

Remember, the bigger my ego gets, the more chapters I write.

Enjoy.

Velvet stood patiently outside of team RWBY's dorm with a basket of cookies in hand. She remembered Yang saying that RWBY's leader, who was also Yang's sister, had a huge sweet tooth and cookies were her favorite treat. Wanting her first meeting with Yang's team to go well, Velvet went into Vale to pick up the present. A few seconds went by with no response and Velvet considered knocking again when she heard a large bump come from within the room followed by some shouting. "Um..." Velvet was concerned, but didn't want to leave after announcing her presence.

From what she could tell, Yang and another were fighting about something while a third voice was desperately trying to calm them down. Velvet didn't want to be rude by listening in, but she was struggling due to her enhanced hearing.

"Hey... Velvet, right?"

The bunny eared girl froze in place as her eyes went wide. After a moment of being paralyzed, she slowly turned her head to see Jaune standing next to her with a goofy smile. However, his smile was soon replaced with a nervous frown when Velvet didn't respond. "I-I didn't screw up your name, did I? Vilma? Valerie? It does start with a V, right?"

Velvet, for her part, only stared at her crush, wide-eyed and her face slowly turning red. The two stood awkwardly for another moment until Yang's voice boomed from behind the door.

"How about you just meet her first!? We'll have plenty of time to talk about this later."

"Fine. I suppose we shouldn't argue while we have a guest waiting," Weiss could be heard.

The door opened and Yang poked her head out to find the two awkward teens standing outside.

"Uh..." Jaune shrugged to his fellow blonde.

After looking between the two, Yang slapped her forehead and sighed. "I can't believe I've got to deal with this as well," she muttered as she grabbed Velvet's arm and pulled her into the room.

Jaune gave the brawler a confused look. "Welp, see ya later Jaune. We have things to do. Girl things." Yang had a huge, fake grin on her face.

"Ok then..." Jaune walked back to his room and entered.

Turning back to her own room, Yang found Velvet standing nervously in front of her three teammates, who were giving her blank stares. "I-I... um... brought these," Velvet offered, holding up her basket.

Ruby's eyes lit up as she crossed the room at an inhuman speed, grabbed the basket and sped up to her bed to dig into the cookies. "I like her!"

"You know nothing about her. You only know she brought cookies," Weiss argued.

"Yeah, but it's impossible for anyone to be a bad person and bring cookies," Ruby countered.

"So... we're keeping her away from windowless white vans from now on," Blake jerked her thumb to her leader.

"Anyways," Yang cleared her throat and threw her arm around Velvet. "This is my new gal pal, Velvet!"

Velvet, who was staring at her now empty hands, looked up and gave a nervous smile. "Velvet," Yang continued, "this is Weiss, Blake and my sister, Ruby."

Blake waved, Weiss nodded while Ruby grunted while stuffing cookies into her mouth. "Sh-should we work on our essay?" Velvet asked.

"Nah, we can do that later. Right now, we're going hang out and have some fun," Yang responded, harshly patting velvet on the back, causing the Faunus to stumble forward.

Blake and Weiss sat on their beds while Ruby hopped down from hers to join Yang, who sat on the ground in the middle of the room. Velvet kneeled down next to the sisters and played with her hands. "So, Velvet," Weiss started, "it must be awful to be paried up Yang of all people for an assignment."

Yang stuck her tongue out to the heiress, who rolled her eyes. "N-not really. We did get a lot of work done and she's p-pretty fun," Velvet replied.

"Yeah! Take that ice princess!" Yang hooted.

"Well I suppose anyone would be better than the guy I got stuck with," Weiss said with a knowing smirk directed at her blonde teammate.

Velvet shifted uncomfortably on the ground. "H-he can't that b-bad..."

"Weiss..." Yang warned

"Oh, don't get me started. He's irresponsible, unfocused and goofs off all the time," Weiss scoffed.

"Uh oh," Ruby whimpered

"And his constant flirting is obnoxious and annoying," the heiress continued her rant.

Yang stood up, pulling Velvet up with her. "Ok! I'm getting hungry. C'mon Vel, let's get something to eat."

The blonde pulled the Faunus out of the room and tugged her along to the cafeteria. "Shouldn't we wait for your team?" Velvet asked.

"Nah! They're fine. They have those cookies you brought," Yang replied, still pulling Velvet along.

"But your sister ate them all," Velvet pointed out.

"Well, yeah, but, um..."

Velvet stopped and pulled her arm out of Yang's grasp. "They know, don't they?"

Yang rubbed the back of her head and nervously smiled. "Well, you see..."

"You told!?" Velvet accused Yang, tears starting to form in her eyes.

Yang shook her hands in front of her. "No, no, no... ok, so I told Ruby and she told the other two."

Velvet's gaze fell to the ground as she began to sniffle. "You promised..."

Yang's heart cracked at the sight before her. "I know, I know, but I had too! I was trying to keep it a secret, but Ruby thought that I was the one who had a crush on Jaune and she was going to try to us together, so I told her the truth. I'm sorry."

"Your sister was going to try to get you together with Jaune?" Velvet wiped her eyes and looked back up.

"Yeah, she thought she was being nice by 'confessing' for me," Yang laughed, glad that Velvet wasn't upset anymore.

"She's not going to tell Jaune about me, right?" Velvet asked.

Yang's heart dropped and her eyes went wide. She grabbed Velvet's arm again and sprinted back to her dorm. Sure enough, when they turned the corner to the hall were team RWBY's dorm was, they saw Ruby knocking on team JNPR's door.

Jaune, who was working on some, walked over to the door and opened it to see his fellow leader. "Hey Ruby, what's up?"

Ruby opened her mouth to say something, but was silenced when Yang side tackled her to the ground. Velvet arrived and stood next to the wrestling sisters with her hands covering her mouth in shock. Yang managed to get Ruby in a head lock and dragged her back to RWBY's door, kicking it open and pulling her sister inside. "Do you know what that was about?" Jaune asked.

Velvet, who just realized that Jaune was standing there, froze in place once more as her face turned red. Yang poked her head outside again and groaned in frustration. "For the love of..."

The brawler ran out and grabbed Velvet by the collar of her uniform and dragged her into the dorm, slamming the door behind her.

"Uh..." Jaune stared across the hall, confused.

"What was that?" Ren asked, approaching Jaune from behind to look into the hall.

"I'm not sure," Jaune replied, closing the door and returning to his desk.

Back in team RWBY's room, Yang panted and glared angrily at Weiss and Blake. "Why.. didn't... you stop her?"

"We didn't know what she was up to," Blake explained.

"She just left saying that she had something to do," Weiss added.

Yang, accepting the excuse, whirled around to her sister. "And exactly what was that something that you had to do?"

"I was only trying to help," Ruby whined.

"You should've asked Velvet before hand," Yang snapped.

Ruby put her hands behind her back and traced a circle on the ground with her foot. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Velvet smiled from behind Yang. "I'm just not ready to let him know yet."

"Why not?" Weiss asked, worried that her distraction for Jaune might not be up to the task.

"I, um, I'm a little nervous," Velvet admitted.

"Well that settles it then!" Ruby announced.

"Settles what?" Yang asked, fearing the answer.

"You will have the full force of team RWBY to help you get over your shyness and confess to Jaune!" Ruby pointed at Velvet with a big smile on her face.

"Do we have to?" Blake asked, not thrilled at the idea.

"As team leader, it's an order," Ruby declared.

"Y-you don't have to," Velvet meekly interjected.

"Nonsense!" Ruby countered. "You're our friend now and we'd be glad to help. Plus, it's such a tragedy that Jaune doesn't even know that there's such a pretty girl that likes him."

"Yeah! We'll help you Vel. Don't you worry," Yang threw her arm around Velvet's shoulders with a wink.

Velvet could only nod nervously, terrified of what her new friends could be thinking of doing. I hope this doesn't go too badly...
