"Oh my goodness you look beautiful!" Weiss said, her eyes wide and shining as Ruby twirled before her.

"Aww, really? I like this dress, but I was worried it was a bit too... Frilly." She said, twirling again and giving a small giggle as the red fabric began flowing around her. As she stopped, the dress became clearly visible; it was a short dress, ending at her knees, it was mostly red, with several black lines of lace going around it. The collar was black lace as well, and just covering the tiny bit of cleavage shown, was a silver rose pin.

"It looks amazing, my beautiful girl!" Summer said, squeezing Ruby tightly as the smaller girl tried to escape her grip.

"Mom... Crushing me... Light fading..." Ruby said dramatically, pretending to faint.

"Oh don't be so dramatic." Summer said, smiling as she rolled her eyes. "You'll get hugs from your mother and you'll like it!"

Weiss rolled her eyes as she watched the scene unfold, smiling softly. "How in the heck am I ever going to deal with two of them..."

They all turned to look at the dressing room as they heard the door creaking again. Neo stepped out nervously; she was wearing a white suit with a pink tie and her usual high heeled boots. She wore a small pin right above where her heart was, it was bright gold and in the shape of a cane and an umbrella crossed together. She gave a small smile and held up her note pad:

So... How do I look?

"You look amazing! It's simple, but it looks really good on you!" Ruby said with a bright smile, causing Neo's cheeks to go pink.

"I guess you could say it really... Suits her?" Summer said, bursting into giggles.

"And suddenly Yang's sense of humor makes sense..." Weiss said, holding her head in her hands and groaning.

"Oh come on, what's the harm in a little joke?" Summer said with a small smile, giving Weiss a small poke.

"I die a little on the inside." Weiss said, her voice muffled by her hands, causing Ruby and Summer to roll their eyes.

"C'mon sweetie, I'm sure you could make some Weiss puns too if you gave it a try..." Ruby said, smiling mischievously.

"It's not that hard, I'm sure Schnee'll get the hang of it." Summer said, causing the two of them to crack up, Neo and Weiss rolling their eyes.

"Can we just go pay for our things so we can meet up with the others?" Weiss said, her voice muffled from behind her hands.

"Aren't you gonna get a dress Weiss?" Ruby asked curiously as she and Neo stepped back into the small changing rooms.

"I already have one. Winter sent it to me a few days ago." Weiss said, removing her hands and smiling.

"I can't wait to see it!" Ruby exclaimed from behind the door.

"Not until the dance!" Weiss scolded teasingly, causing Ruby to give a small groan of disappointment. "What about you Miss Rose? Are you attending the dance?"

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Summer said, her facing lighting up.

"Who are you going with? Is it Dad?" Ruby said, smiling brightly as she slipped out of the changing room.

"Well... Not exactly... I mean... Sort of..." Summer said, swallowing nervously as Neo shut the door to her changing room, suit folded neatly in her arms. "There we are, Neo's all changed. Shall we go pay?"

The three smaller girls exchanged quizzical looks as Summer led them up to the register. Summer paid for Ruby's dress, insisting that it was a makeup for ten missed birthdays. She was about to swipe her card for Neo's dress as well, when a small hand stopped her.

A piece of paper was placed in front of her as Neo stepped forwards, swiping her own card:

Don't worry, I got it.

Neo typed in her pin and smiled as the woman behind the counter handed her a small box, in which her suit lay. She led them all out of the store, where they stood, Weiss typing on her scroll, while Summer and Ruby stared.

"Umm, Neo..." Ruby began, a slightly nervous tone in her voice.

Neo gave a small smile, holding up her pad of paper, along with her card:

Don't worry, the card is mine, I didn't steal it.

Indeed, the card did have Neo's name on it, along with the symbol of a bowl of ice cream, with three scoops in it.

"But... Where did you..."

Where did I get the money? Well, this is my card that is linked directly to a bank account, where all of my pay was put when I was with Roman. There is a very sizable amount in there, to the point that even Weiss' jaw would probably drop.

"Does Professor Ozpin know about this?" Summer asked suspiciously, raising a singular eyebrow.

Yes. He told me that, even though the products sold to get it were illegal, the money isn't because of some weird law. So legally, every penny is mine.

Neo gave an almost proud smile, while Summer and Ruby both exchanged shrugs. "Well, I guess if he isn't worried about it, we shouldn't be either..." Summer said, giving a small sigh as Weiss looked up from the scroll.

"Blake said that they're all at a little cafe, it's right next door to that little noodle stand." Weiss said, placing the device in one of her skirt's pockets and smiling.

"You mean A Simple Wok?" Ruby asked curiously, receiving a nod from the heiress. "Well then, let's head over there!"

After about forty-five minutes, several wrong turns, and directions from a Hispanic man selling roses, they finally arrived at the cafe. Double Chip Cafe was a small little cafe, but it was nearly always packed to the breaking point. As soon as they sat down at the large table Blake and Yang had gotten for them, Ruby started to drool at the smell of the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that gave the cafe it's name. The waitress had only just set the plate down when Ruby grabbed one, eating it in a single bite.

"With the amount of cookies you eat, it's a wonder you aren't as big as a whale..." Weiss muttered, rolling her eyes as Ruby ate several more. "Where does it all go?"

"It fuels her non-stop hyperactive attitude." Blake said, giving a small smile as Ruby looked up innocently.

"Mmm nt hperactv." She said through a mouthful of cookies. She swallowed them and spoke again, this time much clearer. "I just love cookies is all! Who can blame me, everyone does!"

"Well, anyways, how'd your dress shopping go?" Sun asked, leaning back in his chair and smiling. "Bet it was boring."

"Was not! Me and Neo both god nice clothes for the dance, and we had a good time teasing Weiss with puns!" Ruby explained, earning her a thumbs up and a bright smile from Yang.

"Atta girl! Way to carry on the family tradition!"

"Please don't encourage her..." Weiss moaned, hesitantly accepting a cookie Ruby was holding in front of her.

"Well, do you guys have any plans for the rest of the day? Me and Sun were planning on heading down to the beach. We wanna help Neptune get over his fear of water." Blake said, sipping her small cup of steaming tea.

"That sounds like fun! A little time at the beach would be nice and relaxing." Ruby said, looking over at Weiss. "Can we? Please, please, please, pleeeeeeeeaaaaase?"

"Yes, fine, alright. Calm down, it's just a beach." Weiss said, rolling her eyes and smiling lightly.

"Yeah, but beaches are so much fun! You can swim, build sandcastles, bury each other, play volleyball- mmph!" Ruby began excitedly, but was silenced as Yang leaned across the table, stuffing a cookie into the girl's mouth.

"Sorry Rubes, but if that had been allowed to continue, you'd still be listing things on your death bed." Yang said with a teasing smile as Ruby chewed the cookie indignantly.

Summer shook her head, smiling as she gave a small sigh. "You two never change..." She suddenly jumped as her scroll began to ring, leaping up out of her seat. "Oh, I need to take this. I'll meet you guys at the beach later!" She said, hurrying out of the cafe, leaving the rest of them to exchange confused looks.

"Is it just me, or has she seemed a bit... Jumpy lately?" Yang said, frowning and crossing her arms.

"Yeah, she has...Who do you suppose that was calling her?" Ruby replied with a small sigh. "Think it was Dad?"

"I dunno... Kinda useless wondering though. We can ask her later." Yang said, pulling out her wallet and smiling. "Now, let me pay for this, and we'll head back to the room and change!"

Twenty, rather uneventful minutes later found the girls back in their room. Sun had gone back to his room to change and fetch Neptune, and Neo had returned with them. Neo and Ruby placed their new clothing in the large closet shared by all of the girls. The five girls quickly exchanged their normal clothing, for their bathing suits and bags. Ruby and Weiss both dinned cover-ups, with Ruby's being bright red, and Weiss' pure white, matching their bathing suits. Yang left herself uncovered, her bright yellow bikini barely holding in her chest, attracting the attention of a certain mute girl, who had borrowed one of Weiss' white bikinis.

"Like something you see?" Yang teased as she helped Blake tie the strings to her bikini top.

Neo's face went even redder than Ruby's cover up as she spun around, quickly following Weiss out, Ruby giving her sister a slightly disapproving shake of her head. "Meanie..."

"Am not..." Yang pouted as Ruby left the room, leaving the blonde with the faunus girl.

"It was a little bit mean." Blake said with a small smile, picking up her back and tossing a bottle of suntan lotion in.

"Yeah, yeah... Come on, or we'll never catch up to them..." Yang said, grabbing Blake's wrist and hurrying out to follow the others,

When they finally arrived at the beach, it was a sight to see. Nora and Ren sat atop an enormous sand castle, with Nora humming her signature, "I'm Queen of the castle" song. Pyrrha was lying on her stomach, while Jaune gently rubbed suntan lotion on her back. Sun was sitting at the bottom a=of the castle, looking somewhat peeved. They could all see a hint of bright blue hair poking out from inside of the castle, where they all assumed Neptune had taken as his hiding place.

"Hey guys, about time you showed up!" Sun said, smiling brightly as the girls approached.

Neptune poked his head out from the castle, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head as he saw the bikini-clad girls. "O-oh, hey guys! C-come to hang out?"

"Actually, we've come to help you and Sun..." Blake said, placing a hand on her hip as Ruby began spreading out the towels for her team.

"Umm... Help him with what exactly?" Neptune inquired, his smile fading quickly, eyes widening in recognition. "Oh no..."

"GET HIM!" Yang and Sun shouted at the same time.

Neptune attempted to run, dodging to the left so Sun flew past him, and jumping over Yang's head. What he didn't account for, however, was Nora. The orange-haired girl had lept off the top of the castle and come crashing down right on top of the aqua-haired boy.

"I GOT HIM!" She shouted, leaping to her fet and giving a small dance of victory.

"Good job Nora, now come on, we're gonna teach him that water is nothing to be afraid of!" Sun said as he, Nora, and Yang grabbed Neptune's wriggling limbs and made their way towards the water.

"No guys, wait... I can't swi-" SPLASH. Neptune's last words were drowned out as the trio threw him into the water.

Neptune began flailing around, gasping for breath as he struggled to stay surfaced. He fell to the ground, washing back up on shore, supposedly unconscious.

The rest of them rushed over, gathering around the boy, all eager to make sure he was okay. Weiss pushed them all aside and shook her head. "I know CPR, I can do it. I just need some space..." She said, pressing both hands right above his heart and beginning to pump. She had just plugged his nose, her lips inches from his, when Sun placed his hand on her shoulder.

"He's fine..." He said, causing Weiss to look down and notice the smile on Neptune's lips.

One of his eyes opened, revealing Weiss' bright red, obviously angry face. He sat up, rubbing the back of his head nervously. "I mean... You can't blame a guy for trying... Right?"

"You... Fucking... PERVERT!" Weiss screamed, followed by a loud SMACK, along with Neptune flying away several feet.

"Come on Weiss, calm down..." Ruby said softly, wrapping her arms around the girl.

"Calm down?! I almost kissed him! Euhg!" She cried, trying to pry Ruby off of her, desperate to get at Neptune again. "Let me go, I'm gonna drown him for real!"

"Come on Weiss, let's try something else... How about we make a sand castle, or bury each other in the sand... Don't worry about him..." Ruby said, placing a small kiss on the heiress' cheek, causing her to instantly become much calmer.

"F-fine... I-I've never been buried in the sand before... Winter always told me it was stupid nonsense..." Weiss muttered, turning away from Neptune, who was sitting up with help from Sun and Blake, a goofy grin on his face.

"Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we bury you two together? It's be so cute!" Nora exclaimed, clapping happily when both girls gave a small shrug. "Whoo hoo! Come on Yang, we'll need a lot of sand!"

The two sped off, Pyrrha giving a small smile and shaking her head. "That girl has more energy than I would have ever though possible..."

"How do you do it Ren? I mean seriously..." Jaune said, watching as Nora dug at near super-sonic speeds, soon forming a large mound of sand beside her.

"Patience, time... And a lot of energy drinks..." Ren said, causing the rest to bust out laughing.

Nora and Yang ran over to the group, grabbing Weiss and Ruby. "Come on, it's ready!" They said, practically carrying the two girl over to the mountain of sand, followed closely by Jaune, Pyrrha, Neo, and Ren.

Ruby and Weiss stumbled and fell over as Yang and Nora finally let go, Ruby falling directly on top of Weiss, their noses only an inch apart. "Oh... Hi..." She said nervously, attempting to get up, before feeling a bucket-full of sand poured on her back. "Wh-what? You're not gonna bury us l-like this? A-are you?!"

"That we are little sis, it's so cute!" Yang said as she and Nora began dumping bucket after bucket of sand on top of the girl's, both of whom were blushing furiously.

By the time they were finished and had patted the sand into a very solid mass, only the two girl's heads and feet were poking out, and their faces had only grown redder. Ruby opened her mouth to speak, but it turned into a loud gasp, followed by a loud squeal.

"N-no don't! Not that, anything but that!" She begged, but her words fell on deaf ears. Yang and Nora had sat themselves next to the girl's feet, and begun tickling away, causing Weiss and Ruby to erupt into hysterical laughter.

The two girls laughed and screamed as their other friends joined in, some of them holding back their toes, so that others could run their fingers along the soft skin underneath, sending the girls into further fits of utter hysterics. Five minutes passed, though it felt like hours to the two giggling girls, before the tormenting finally stopped. As they attempted to catch their breath, the smiling face of Yang appeared right in their vision.

"Soooooo, what should we do with these two lovebirds, hmm? I mean, we've got all evening, and they aren't going anywhere." She said, her lips twisting into an evil smirk.

"Umm... Well, you could dig us out? And umm, we could all go to dinner?" Weiss suggested hopefully, Ruby nodding eagerly in agreement.

"Nah, I was thinking something a bit more... Fun..." Yang said, placing a finger on her chin thoughtfully.

"We could tickle them more!" Nora suggested, causing Yang to smile again.

"Perfect!" Yang said, and, among very verbal protests from the two girls, took her seat one more.

Both girls braced themselves, shutting their eyes tightly and awaiting their torture...

"You guys... Suck..." Weiss said when they had finally been dug out of the mound. She and Ruby were sitting together, with Ruby on her lap, cuddled next to the small bonfire Sun had made.

"Oh come on, it couldn't have been that bad." Yang said, waving a hand nonchalantly.

"You tickled us for like three hours straight!" Ruby complained, tucking her bare feet under Weiss' legs as she held the girl closer. "That was just evil!"

"It was a little bit much..." Pyrrha said, giving a small smile as she gave the girls a gentle smile. "Look on the bright side though, the boys should be back with dinner soon! And with all that laughing, I'm sure you worked up an appetite."

"Yeah... I am pretty hungry..." Ruby said, Weiss' stomach growling, as if on cue, causing the Schnee girl to blush heavily. "And it sounds like you are too Weiss..." Ruby said with a small smirk.

Weiss said nothing, only looking down in embarrassment. "So, who's looking forwards to the dance this weekend?!" Yang said excitedly, clapping her hands together. "Everyone got a date?"

"I am! And I've got my lovely date right here!" Ruby exclaimed, hugging Weiss tightly.

"Yeah, it's gonna be... A lot... of fun..." Weiss said, trying to wriggle out of Ruby's unbreakable grip.

"Hey... I just realized... Wasn't Mom supposed to come meet us here? It's been hours." Ruby said, slight concern obvious in her voice.

"I'm sure she's fine. She's probably just talking with Dad or whoever it was on the phone." Yang said, giving a small smile.

"Hey guys, we're back!" Sun called out as the boys walked towards the small group, several large bags in hand.

The girls waved, all of them expression obvious gratitude for the food they had brought. Everyone ate in almost utter silence, with only the sounds of chewing and the crackling of fire breaking the noiseless night.

"I wish we could do this all the time... Just kinda sit back and relax all day on the beach... Not a care in the world..." Blake said, sighing as she rested her head on Sun's lap.

"Yeah, that's be really nice..." Weiss said from her towel, where she and Ruby were currently cuddled up, wrapped in each others arms.

"Well, when we graduate, we'll be able t pick when and where we do jobs... It'll give us a lot more time for things like that." Pyrrha said, giving a small smile as Jaune wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

Neptune had opened his mouth to say something, but was cut short by a loud snore, coming from his right. They all looked at the source, only to find Nora and Neo curled up next to each other... And on top of Ren, who was looking utterly helpless underneath the two small girls.

"I think that's the cue for us all to get to bed, huh?" Weiss said as Ruby gave a small yawn, nodding her head. "Yes please... Carry me?"

Weiss gave a small sigh as Yang smirked. "I'll get your stuff." The busty blonde said as Weiss stood up, taking the slightly smaller girl in her arms with a grunt of effort, and following Ren, and Neptune, who were carrying Nora and Neo respectively, back towards Beacon...

End Note: Sorry about the really delayed chapter guys! Work has been killing me, quite literally. I spent a day or two in the hospital, and when I haven't been bed ridden, I've been working my ass off. Hopefully I'll get back to a better schedule now though, since I seem to be clear for a while! I have several more stories coming up as well that I'm sure you guys will love!

Until then, remember to rate and comment! Chiao!
