Weiss was walking through the Beacon hallways awoken by the sound of loud banging. She walked into the common room to see Ruby holding a ladder and at he top of the ladder was Yang nailing a piece of string to the top of the door frame, with an odd plant tied at the end.

"All done!" Yang wiped the seat from her brow. "Let the kissing begin!"

"What are you talking about, you rube?" Weiss walked under the door frame.

"Oop, careful, Weiss," Yang said cheekily. "You're under the mistletoe, whoever stands under it with you, ya gotta kiss!"

"That's silly," Weiss rolled her eyes. "Why would you kiss somebody just because you stand under a couple of leaves and a red berry?"

"It's Christmas tradition, and good luck!" Ruby explained. "Also, Yang wants to catch Axel under it."

"You can't prove that," Yang denied smoothly as she slid down the ladder.

"Ridiculous," Weiss shook her head. "I'll be in the room." She turned to leave but her head collided with someone else's.

"Ow! Sorry, Weiss," Sora rubbed his head as he walked past.

Weiss rubbed her head with a glare but then noticed Ruby staring at her eyes wide. "What?" The heiress asked.

"You and Sora were under the mistletoe..." Ruby almost whispered. "And you didn't kiss!"

"Of course we didn't," Weiss said.

"But Weiss!" Ruby grabbed a nearby cane and pulled her teammate from under the door. "If two people under the mistletoe don't kiss, they get put on the naughty list and their Christmas is ruined!"

"Who told you that?" Weiss asked.

"My dad." Ruby answered immediately.

"He took Christmas traditions very seriously," Yang explained. "One time he and Uncle Qrow were caught under the mistletoe, it was very awkward for them but hilarious for the rest of us!"

"Well, it's a good thing I don't believe in that kind of thing," Weiss said smugly. "Now, if you'll excuse me I'l-" Weiss was about to leave when she caught Ruby's giant puppy eyes. A single tear ran down her leader's cheek.

"Ugh," Weiss groaned. "If I kiss the dolt, will you leave me alone?"

"Yes!" Ruby hugged her leader.

Sora was having lunch in the school cafeteria when the three girls walked in on the side.

"Okay, I'll just go over there, kiss him, and we never speak of this again," Weiss glared at the two sisters before making her way over to the table.

Sora just swallowed when he noticed Weiss. "Oh, hey, Weiss! Weird how there seems to no other people today, huh?"

"Hello, Sora," Weiss greeted. "Apparently, we were both under the mistletoe together."

"Mistletoe?" Sora raised a brow. "What's that?"

"You don't know?" Weiss' eyes widened in surprise. "With your obsession of the holidays?"

"Guess my family skipped over it," Sora shrugged. "So what's the deal?"

Weiss shrugged. "Well, apparently, we need to kiiiiii-ack!" Weiss spasmed. "*ahem* Sorry, we need to kiiiiii-GAH! Frog in my throat." She straitened herself out. "According to Christmas time tradition, we must kiiiiiiiLL GRIMM! Which is convenient because we're already trained to do that!" Weiss smiled nervously.

"Okay?" Sora looked at her, quizzically. "Well, lunch is over, see you later, Weiss!" he hopped off the bench and walked away.

"What was that?" Yang interrogated as she and Ruby came up to Weiss.

"I don't know!" Weiss defended herself. "I just clammed up!"

"Huh," Yang scratched her chin. "Maybe your involuntarily steering yourself away from kissing Sora out of fear of awkwardness."

"More like out of intense wanting to never be intimate with that dolt," Weiss sighed. "Whelp! As it turns out, I cannot physically kiss Sora, so lets just go back to our rooms and-"

"No!" Ruby grabbed the ice queen's shoulders. "You may not like Christmas but I won't let you ruin Sora's! We'll get you to kiss him one way or another!"

"Oh joy..." Weiss grimaced.
