Howdy to you this lovely day, my good people! We all gather here today, to celebrate the 40th chapter! The day has finally come when this writer's love gets poured out onto the page, once again, for something much more special than he! If anyone would have an objection to this 40 chapter work of magic, please, speak now, or forever hold your peace! Why am I talking like this you may ask, well, see below...

"Aww yeah! Another outing for team RWBY!"

"Man, it's been too long since we all actually did something together."

Weiss enthusiasm couldn't compare to Yang's, but that's not to say she wasn't excited. The heiress did enjoy these team outings, and it has been quite some time since they all went out.

"So, what's on the agenda, Weiss?"

Blake's question got Weiss pondering. She didn't really have a plan for this, she just kinda went with what she knew. The person in charge of plans rotated every time, and this was Weiss' second time. Her first, well, it's best not to make her relive that...

"Well, I really don't have much of a plan. But I did hear from a friend of a friend of my father's friend, that There's this new city park their making right in the middle of town."

The park Weiss spoke of, shouldn't really be considered a park, it was more of a giant sanctuary in the middle of Vale. It even had some species of grimm on display at the zoo inside. Yes, they had a zoo in a sanctuary, in Vale.

"Well, I'm sure it'll be cool, Weiss!"

"Thanks, Ruby. I'm trying hard this time."

"Woah, is that it? It's huuuuge!"

Ruby was indeed pointing at the park in question. And it covered a lot of land, so it was in no way cheap.

"Jeez, who the hell'd they have funding this thing? It'd cost a fortune and a half!"

"... Okay, maybe I might have lied a bit. Maybe this park was mainly funded by the SDC. Maybe it's not completely open yet. Maybe I got us in before anyone else..."

"Wait, so, the entire park is-"

"Just for us, yeah."

Yang had grabbed Weiss' shoulder and gave her a one-armed bear hug that Weiss had come to understand as deep gratitude.

"This, is by far, the BEST IDEA EVAAAAAAAAAAAARR!"

The thought of having such a huge area to themselves, having free reign to do whatever they wanted, and having almost limitless money to spend, was too much for Yang to handle.

"Man, I thought it was big from the outside, but it's even bigger on the inside!"

Ruby, while not quite as extreme as her sister, was still very much so enthused. Yang had been trumping everyone's emotions already, and they just got there.

"Ooh, ooh! What should we do first? Punch a tree down? Raid the food carts? Mess with the grimm? Oh, there's just too many options!"

"Well, there's three places I figured we should go, to save time. We don't exactly have all night. The first, is the grimm pens, because I know Yang would love that. The second, is the outdoor ice skating rink, and the third, is this big hill on the east side of the park, it has a really good view of the coast and the sky. So, let's go!"

Weiss' plan was now in action, and the four set off for the grimm pens. They weren't hard to find, given they were still loud, obnoxious, and smelly. The biggest reason Yang wanted to go, was because she desperately wanted to box with a kangaroo grimm.

Yang got her wish.

"Huff Huff Whew, man, that thing put up a fight. It got a few good hits in, I'll give it that, but I ain't the kind to give up easily!"

"You probably should have been more careful, Yang. I mean, getting into one of the grimm pens, with the grimm, isn't exactly safe."

"You forget what we are? Weapons or not, we still kick ass!"

While Yang had been 'laying the smack down' on the grimm, Blake had been waving her Yang flag, which was alot like her RWBY flag, from the barrier. And Weiss and Ruby were looking at the more docile grimm.

"Okay, that's one down, two to go."

"W-woah! Weiss, help!"

Weiss, being quite adept at ice skating, had been at Ruby's side to help her. While she may have been a speed demon on land, she was a bit clumsy when it came to balance. At Ruby's yell, Weiss had grabbed her arm and held her up.

"T-thanks Weiss."

"It's fine Ruby. You know I would be here till you got used to it."

Meanwhile, Yang and Blake had been doing laps, quite quickly. Like it was some sort of unspoken race between the two. Weiss didn't really know that they could even skate, but she guessed based on how they were at the mountain resort.

"I think I'm getting it now, Weiss! Woah!"

Ruby had been straightening her back up, but in doing so, she lost her balance and was tumbling backwards. Or she would have been, if Weiss hadn't been behind her to catch her as she fell.

"Um, thanks again, Weiss..."

"It's fine, Ruby. These things just aren't easy for you, they aren't for everyone."

"Ah! D-damn it Yang!"

Blake and Yang had apparently collided in their careless competition. They now laid on the ice, a tangle of limbs. Blake couldn't be too mad, since she did manage to land with her face on Yang's chest.

"How does this not surprise me, you two?"

"Don't worry, Weiss. We're on ice! I'm sure they wouldn't think about-"

Yang and Blake were already off the ice, and onto the bench nearby. It's a good thing, or they most likely would have melted the ice with Yang's semblance and the natural heat of their kissing bodies.

"How does this not surprise me either?"

"This is awesome!"

The view Weiss promised them of this hill had been all it was cracked up to be and more. All the stars in the sky were visible, and the moon had been bright just above the horizon. The old Victorian-style street lamps that were placed on the walkway were a nice addition to the atmosphere of the scene. They didn't have anything to do here in particular, but being with their loves, and enjoying this view, were enough.

"Hey, Ruby. There was a reason I wanted to come here..."

"I know, this view is amazing!"

"No, it's not just the view."

Weiss stood in front of Ruby, her eyes starting to tear up.

"Weiss, what's wrong?"

The heiress didn't respond, but just drop to one knee in front of Ruby.

"Ruby. Will... Will you marry me!"

Time stood still. The initial shock setting in. Yang and Blake weren't even in on Weiss' plan, and were silent with surprise, like Ruby.

"W-Weiss."

"W-what? D-did I do something wrong? Did I skip a step or something? Ah, um, I-I'm sorry Ru-"

"Yes!"

Ruby jumped into Weiss' arms and gripped her with strength to rival Yang's own. Weiss wasn't prepared for Ruby, and fell back, with the redhead in her arms.

"Well, I have to say, not too shabby Weiss. Not too shabby."

"We're really happy for you two."

Yang and Blake gave them lit up smiles, happy for the now engaged couple. Weiss pulled out the ring she had in her jacket pocket. It was made of pure silver and gold, with rare and expensive dust-infused diamonds that made it sparkle brighter than any normal ring ever could. The diamonds themselves even formed a white rose on the top.

"This, is the best team outing ever..."

OH GOD! It's, it's too much! I didn't know how much the fluff meter would skyrocket! It's killing me! Ack, I'm dying now, my little heart is giving out from the RWBY... Please, when they find my body... Let them that I died by the thing I love... Let them know it's not over... Follow/Fav, drop a review... Goodbye, friends!
