"Yang Xiao Long!"
"I knew it!' exclaimed Weiss.
All eyes now on her, Yang threw her arms up in surrender. "Ya got me."
Ruby crossed her arms, a small frown on her face. "What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm really sorry, sis, and I'll make it up to you somehow, but first, tell me: how did you know it was me? I thought I did a pretty good job keeping myself out of suspicion," Yang wondered.
Ruby sighed. "Well, the trail of crumbs from my desk to your bed the first morning was a tip-off." She looked almost ashamed at how careless Yang had been.
Her sister seemed to shrink a little. "Eh heh… it wasn't that obvious, right?" she asked with an embarrassed grin. Ruby gave her a look. "Well," the blonde-haired girl continued, "didn't you think I might have been framed?"
Ruby nodded. "That's why I continued to search. Some clues seemed to point at other people but, well, they were probably all just nervous to have me prying so relentlessly."
"She did focus in on our personal lives a bit much," Weiss whispered to Blake. The faunus girl nodded, but wisely kept her mouth shut about just how far their leader had gone.
"I wasn't sure it was you until earlier today," Ruby continued, "when professor Ozpin kindly gave me the locations of all my suspects over the times when the cookies could have been stolen. You were the only one around on the first day, and nobody came into our room the second night."
"I guess that's enough to implicate me," Yang sighed in defeat. "But how did you get Ozpin to tell you that? That kind of precise information couldn't have come cheap."
Her sister shrugged. "He made me promise not to hurt anyone, which I suppose was a good thing. I was getting pretty out of hand… Anyway, Ozpin had some coffee stolen from his personal supply just a couple weeks ago, so I think he empathized with me pretty hard."
Yang nodded in understanding. "Okay, sis, I'll tell you what. When spring break comes around in a few months and we head home, I'll bake you a full four dozen of your favorite."
Ruby's eyes sparkled, but she managed to keep the frown on her face. "And you'll do my homework for the rest of the week. To make up for the broken trust."
The older sister rolled her eyes. "And I'll do your homework for the rest of the week."
Unable to hide her happiness any longer, Ruby ran forward and gave her sister a hug. "I forgive you!"
The other two girls smiled at the display. "You two are so cute," Blake purred. The sisters turned as one and stuck their tongues out.
"I am so glad that's over," Weiss sighed. "But, Yang, did you say you'd bake her 'her favorite'? You make Ruby all her cookies?"
Yang nodded. "Well, not all of them. Only the best," she claimed with pride. "How did you think she got so many, so fresh? For cookies of this quality, I don't think anyone but you could have afforded the number she brought on day one."
Weiss thought for a moment. "That… actually makes a lot of sense. Perhaps you would consider making an additional batch for your partner and I to enjoy?" she added with a light blush.
"Why Weiss," Yang replied joyfully, "I didn't know that was to your tastes. Of course I'll make you two some cookies."
A/N: And they all ate cookies happily forever after.
Yang was the easiest suspect for me, and one of the more believable ones, so I wrote this first. The next couple endings will be about as clear, and will adhere to the buildup well. After that, though... it's going to get sillier and sillier. I have one planned that might not even hit 100 words. Again, drop me suggestions. I have 6 (!) other endings already outlined, all on their way, and your idea might add to that!
