Ruby entered RWBY's dorm room, returning from her first date with Weiss. After Ruby had closed the door to the dorm, her blonde haired sister, who was sitting on her bed, asked, "Hey, Rubes, how was your first date with the Ice Queen?"

Sitting on Weiss' bed, smiling, the red head replied, "It went great."

"So, where is Weiss?"

"Oh, she's right outside."

"I see…" Yang hopped down from her bed and walked out.

Ruby, a little curious and what Yang was up to, went up to the door and placed her ear against it. Blake, removing her attention from the book she was reading, asked, "Ruby, what are you doing?" She was shushed by her team leader and merely went back to reading her book. Ruby could barely hear that Yang and Weiss were talking about their date. Grabbing a nearby glass, she placed it against the door and her ear against the glass.

She heard Weiss' voice say, "It was great. It was really fun, granted I fell flat on my face against some ice a few times, but still fun." Ruby quietly laughed at the memory of Weiss falling down while ice skating; however she mostly felt happy that her girlfriend had a good time with her. "However…" The young girl felt her own heart stop as her entire body froze. However what?

"However?" asked the voice that belonged to Yang.

She didn't hear an immediate answer. Was Weiss to ashamed or embarrassed to answer? Finally, the answer did come. "I felt no feelings that could be described as love towards Ruby…" She felt like she was stabbed in the heart. A part of her wanted to hop onto her bed to quietly sulk, but another stronger part kept her at the door and continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"So what do you think that means?" Yeah. What does that mean?

"I don't know. What do you think, Yang?"

"I honestly think it's still too early to tell. You're still unsure about whether or not you could possibly have feelings towards Ruby, or even another girl for that matter. I think if you keep dating Ruby a little while longer, the truth will be revealed."

Ruby detached her ear from the glass and the glass from the door. Jumping up to and lying down on her bed, she thought about the conversation she just heard. Yang did have a point; it's still too early to determine whether or not that Weiss could develop feelings for her. She was determined not to let the fact that Weiss still doesn't feel love for her get her down. She was going to continue dating her friend, doing her best to show her a great time, and hope, that along the way, feelings will start to develop.


A few weeks have gone by since Ruby and Weiss' first date, and the two have gone on more dates during the time. Ruby had tried many different things, such as going out for a lovely dinner, bowling, seeing an opera since Weiss is into that kind of sophisticated stuff, as well as a few other activities. Sometimes that just went out to a nice and quiet area, like a park, just to talk with each other. She wonders if the heiress has developed any feelings for her during the time they spent together. Ruby hoped that she has, but the unfortunate answer is no. Weiss still doesn't see Ruby that way, and Yang, as far as Weiss knew, was currently the only one who knows that.

The blonde and the ivory haired girl sat atop of the building that housed all of the students' dorms. Yang asked, "So… still nothing?"

Weiss shook her head. "No. Nothing…"

The two sat in silence for a few minutes before Yang questioned, "So, what are you going to do now?" She didn't get an immediate response. In fact, the brawler noticed that the heiress looked a little too scared to answer as all color has drained from her face. "Don't worry about the answer, Weiss. Remember what I said? If you break up with her because you can't return her feelings, I won't hold it against you. I feel like I already know the answer, but I still want to hear it for myself. So, what are you going to do?"

Weiss gritted her teeth. She knew the answer too, but at the same time she didn't want to admit it. "I'm afraid," she said a little shaky, "I'm going to have to break up with Ruby. At this point, it isn't looking like I'll develop feelings for her, and I don't want to keep stringing her along, giving her false hope." Weiss pulled her knees up closer to her, wishing she didn't have to break her leader's heart like she's going to. "I'm going to do it later today."

"I see." The blonde wrapped her arm around her friend and pulled her close. "While I respect your decision, I still find it upsetting. I don't want to see Ruby have her heart broken, but this is only for the best." She looked over at Weiss. Yang could clearly see the mixed emotions Weiss was feeling in her crystal blue eyes. "However, I can see how much you still care for Ruby, so at least she'll still have you as her best friend."

Before the two girls could continue on talking, the felt a presence hovering over them. They turned around to find the monkey faunus, Sun Wukong, standing behind them with a huge smile on his face. He greeted, "Hey, what's up, you two?"

Yang asked, "Sun, what are you doing here?"

Sitting down next to them, he replied, "Well, I was looking for your dorm because I was wanting to hang out with Blake, but I got lost and ended up here and saw you two. So what were you talking about?"

"It's none of your business, you fau… I mean, Sun." Weiss had to hold herself back from being discriminatory towards the blonde monkey boy.

"Still having a tough time accepting me?" he asked, honestly feeling a little upset but not letting it show.

"I apologize. I grew up living in fear of the faunus from the White Fang because of them constantly trying to attack our family. While I know that not all faunus are like that, I'm still finding it hard to get over those feelings, but I'm trying my best."

"I see." He looked at the two of them curiously. He really wants to know what their previous conversation was about "So, you're not going to tell me what you two were talking about?"

"Like I said, it's none of your business!" Weiss snapped. She got up and entered the building, leaving the two blondes behind.

"What's her problem?" asked Sun.

Yang waved it off. "Don't worry about her, Sun. She's just upset about the topic we were discussing just a minute ago."

"What were you talking about?! Please tell me!" pleaded Sun.

Yang just pats him on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, Sun. But that is a story for another time."

"Aww, come on!"

The two of them stood up. "Come on. I'll help you find Blake." They then entered the building.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Yang and Sun entered the RWBY's dorm. Blake was sitting on her bed, reading a book. The monkey faunus approached her, saying, "Hey, Blake."

Looking up from her book, the cat faunus smiled. "Hey, Sun. What brings you here?"

Shrugging, he sat down next to Blake. "With my team still in Haven, I got a little lonely, so I thought I'd come by to see what you were up to."

"Well, I don't know if I'll be of much entertainment for you. I'm reading a really good book here." She closed the book to show him the cover of it.

"Oh, really? What's it about?" Sun asked with some interest.

As the two faunus continued their conversation, Yang looked around and noticed that neither Ruby nor Weiss were in the room. She asked, "Hey, Blake. Do you know where Ruby and Weiss are?"

Blake, taking her attention away from her friend and her book replied, "She came in here a few minutes ago to take Ruby to Vale. Is everything alright? I don't think Ruby noticed, but Weiss seemed upset about something."

"Did she?" Yang looked a little saddened which didn't go unnoticed by Blake. She was going to do it now, was she? "I'm so sorry, Ruby," thought Yang. She opened up the door. "I'm going out for a walk. You two lovebirds have fun by yourselves." Both Sun and Blake blushed, but they didn't say anything to deny the blonde girl's claim. Yang chuckled as she left.

Once she had calmed down, Blake said solemnly. "Oh, poor Ruby…"

Sun, clueless to what his friend was talking about, asked, "What about Ruby?"

"As you know, Ruby and Weiss has been dating for a while now, but from what I've been told, Weiss still doesn't feel any romantic feelings towards Ruby." Weiss believed that only Yang knew that fact because she didn't tell anyone else, but what she didn't count on was the fact that Yang tells her partner pretty much everything. "I'm getting the feeling that Weiss is about to break up with her."

Sun thought about what Blake just said; he put his hands behind his head and lied down. "You say that, but I think that things will work out with them eventually."

She raised an eyebrow. Discussing other peoples' relationship wasn't really her thing, but she couldn't really hold back when it came to Ruby. "What would make you think that?" she asked with interests.

He smirked. "Let's just say it takes an unbiased view from someone you haven't spent every day with for months to see what's really going on.."


Weiss was dragging Ruby along the market district of Vale. The hooded girl had no complaints, she loved spending time with Weiss, but she was wondering where she was being taken to. She asked, "Hey, Weiss, where are we going?"

"You'll see, Ruby," replied Weiss.

The two continued on until the heiress brought them to a stop in front of a restaurant. The restaurant was a mix between a bakery and a café. The name was called Tucker's Bakery. Ruby heard of this place, it was well known for all of the baked goods they made, especially cookies. Just standing in front of the store gave her a huge craving for their cookies; she's eaten some of their store brand cookies before, and they were very delectable. She really wanted to try some of their fresh cookies now. She also remember hearing a rumor that the one who started the business wanted to name the bakery after himself, but his name wasn't exactly suitable for a restaurant's name, so they decided to name it after his friend.

Weiss said, "Come on, let's go in."

The two girls entered the restaurant, which had some customers in it, but it wasn't packed. They walked up to the counter, which was made out of glass to display all of their food. There was a guy who appeared to be in his mid-20s, had short blond hair, and he was wearing a blue t-shirt that had a suit design on it. His voice was a little high pitched as he greeted excitedly, "Hello. My name is Caboose," this must be the guy who started the bakery, "What can I get you two nice young ladies today? Do you demand cookies?"

Weiss said, "Actually, I would like some coffee." She turned to face Ruby. "Ruby, you can order all of the cookies you want. My treat."

Ruby gasped, "Are you sure? That could be a lot of money."

Weiss nodded. "Yes, Ruby. Order all that you want."

The redhead could feel drool dripping from her mouth. Banging on the counter, she ordered, "Give me all of the cookies you have!"

"Alright!" He turned to the window that led to the kitchen in the back. "Hey, Church! We need more cookies! We're sold out up here!"

Ruby could hear a voice faintly shout out from the kitchen, "Oh, my god, Caboose! No need to shout! We can hear you just fine! And more cookies coming right up."

Caboose quickly made some coffee for Weiss, and then he gently grabbed all of the cookies in the display case and put them on a plate for Ruby. Ruby couldn't count how many cookies there were, there were so many and the stack was high. Weiss paid for their order and sat down at a table next to the front windows.

Ruby grabbed a cookie, studying it carefully. Slowly bringing it closer to her, she took a bite, chewed and swallowed. She cooed gleefully. "That is the most delicious cookie I have ever tasted. Thank you, Weiss." She proceeded to quickly eating more of her cookies.

"You're welcome, Ruby." Weiss took a sip of her coffee, trying to build up the courage to tell the girl the news she wouldn't want to hear.

"Weiss?" The white haired girl was snapped out of her thoughts. Ruby was leaning over the table to look closely at her. "Are you okay? You look like you have a lot on your mind."

Weiss gulped quietly. Even though the place was nice and cool, she felt warm and she noticed some sweat rolling down the back of her neck. "Actually… um… Ruby."

"Yes, Weiss?" asked Ruby, feeling a little nervous about what her girlfriend might say.

"Come on, Weiss. Just spit it out already!" Her heart was beating so fast; it actually felt like it might explode from out of her chest. Looking up, worried blue eyes met sweet and innocent silver eyes. "Ruby… I'm so sorry, but I'm breaking up with you." Just by looking into her eyes, Weiss could see the instant Ruby's heart broke into two. The heartbroken girl let her head drop. "I'm sorry, Ruby. I care for you deeply, but after all of this time, I still don't feel any romantic feelings towards you."

Ruby sat there in silence, staring at the table. She was fighting hard to not break out crying right now. She tried hard to woo the heiress, but she still failed. Now, all she wanted was to be alone. "I got to go," she said emotionless with a hint of sorrow though as she stood up.

"Wait!" Weiss tried to stop her from leaving, but Ruby had disappeared while leaving a cloud of rose petals in her place. "I'm sorry, Ruby," she said quietly. There was no point in chasing after Ruby, with her semblance Weiss couldn't catch up to her, and at this point much less find her.

Minutes that seemed like hours passed by. The stack of cookies that Ruby had ordered was only half eaten. It was a shame that the younger huntress had ordered all of this, but won't even finish eating the cookies. Weiss grabbed a cookie, examining every aspect of the treat. She took a bite. Ruby was right. For just a cookie, it was extremely delicious. She then started to eat more of the cookies. After a few more, she decided she had enough and pushed the plate away, taking a sip of coffee to wash down the taste of cookies in her mouth.

Deep down, she felt that this decision was for the best, but it still hurt having to break Ruby's heart like that.


Oh no! Ruby and Weiss broke up! What's going to happen between them now? Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait for future chapters to find out.

So yeah, I made blue team from RvB owners of the bakery solely because of the scene from Recreation where Sarge believes Caboose kidnapped Donut and asked him for his demands which was cookies.
