Greetings!

I didn't expect to be back so soon but what better time to update these chapters than when I'm still stuck in bed! Finally back to work tomorrow so I don't know when the next update will come, but I will of course make my best attempt. Anyway, thanks again for the outpouring of support. I didn't expect this to take off the way that it has and you've all been very supportive. Eight reviews within a short amount of time is a blessing.

AzraelSaint – I'm glad you find my filler stuff enjoyable. When there's not much meat from the story involved, the best I can do is increase character interaction and set up for later. Your kind words are most appreciated!

RiggyMinus – Yes, Jaune is the unfortunate victim of circumstance. By the end, you might feel worse depending on your POV. Haha. He's just fun to torment so he's the perfect victim –cough- protagonist for this story.

InspectorJacket – Unfortunately, the range of the car as well as the signal is not that far so they need to be within range and have a tv hook-up. This is a "based on real life" scenario, so I can tell you first-hand. Plus, the women will have music and drinks, what could go wrong?...

Konstantinsen – Yeah, it had its Ups and Downs that for sure. Just uh... stay tuned?

Siegnir – Oh, it's coming. Thank you for that. I try to make the interaction entertaining as well as set-up for later scenarios.

Dragon lord Syed 101 – Thank you! Welcome aboard the story that has no stops! At least I hope so.

EmperorCookies – I only hope I live up to your standards. I will give you the best I can for this. It's also a reason I have someone else helping me with their side of the story.

Guest – Yes, you caught that did you? I wanted to give Ren a bigger part before hell breaks loose.

Again, I will repeat for those that don't opt to read disclaimers. This story is rated M for suggestive and ACTUAL happenings later in the tale. You were warned... Again. Here is Chapter 5 which sets up for the end of the first Arc of the story.

Chapter 5 – A Little Bit of the Bubbly

The sound of bottle tops being tossed to the wayside was the only sound in the room. Their eyes scanned the television as it took its sweet time providing a picture.

Jaune and the others scooted closer to the television. The anticipation was clear on their faces. It took only a moment for the camera signal to feed over. What was the first thing they saw? Two eyes staring back at them through the lens.

This elicited a scream from all four boys.

"We're fucked." Jaune stated, making his way to the window without much hesitation.

"WAIT!" Neptune yelled. "Look."

Jaune stopped his escape attempt, beer bottle still in hand and turned back. Ren was by the bedroom door to the hallway and Sun had taken residence under one of the beds. Neptune directed their attention back at the television to see the eyes that were looking at them still.

Still? Jaune thought.

A few more seconds passed, and the eyes kept looking. Not a single movement or even a blink. Neptune waved them all back to the center of the room as he took the controller to the car and began putting the car in reverse slowly. The car backed further and further away, and the picture became clearer. Jaune, Sun and Ren were now back to the center of the room watching the scene unfold.

"Is... Is that a doll?" Sun squeaked out.

It was a doll. An old stuffed doll that had been under Weiss's bed for who knows how long. The group took a collective sigh before slumping back to the floor. A crisis had been averted. They all looked at each other before giving a laugh.

"Oh man, I thought we were over before it even began!" Jaune stated, now belly-laughing on his bedroom floor, still holding his cold drink.

"Yeah, no kidding!" Sun replied.

"Thank Oum these rooms are decently sound-proof, or they would have heard us scream like frightened children." Ren added, taking his seat once again still slightly pale from the scare.

"Great placement with the camera-car there, Jauney-boy." Neptune responded; sarcasm evident in his voice.

Jaune gave him a narrow-eyed, annoyed stare.

"Okay, number one! The next person to call me by that name is going out the window. Secondly, I basically chucked it under the bed, how am I supposed to know I left it facing some creepy ass doll?" Jaune replied to the blue-haired wiseass.

Sun chuckled at the defensive response and picked his drink up again. "Man, you and your partner were about to leave us and tuck your tail between your legs too."

"You're the only one here with a tail." Ren replied. "Plus, you were under the bed. Horror movie mistake number one. You'd have been the first to die." He finished with making a 'slit-throat' gesture while looking at the Faunus.

Neptune ignored the side-conversations behind him and focused on the camera-car. He played with the controls and began searching for the stars of the show. Slowly, so the wheels didn't make much noise, he began making a one hundred-eighty-degree turn. Towards the far end of the bed, voices were a little clearer on the television and he could see the image of feet.

The peanut gallery behind him was still going on behind him, playfully bickering as they had come to do. He left his concentration to the task at hand and continued advancing the vehicle slowly. Closer and closer, the image of four women standing at a desk near the bedroom door.

At this time, they were making what seemed to be small conversation while laughing. Neptune parked the vehicle towards the edge of the bed but remained in the shadows as to not give away his position. From this angle he could see just about every part of the room and unless one of the girls were laying down and directly staring under the bed, there was no way they could be seen.

"Hey, guys." Neptune spoke.

The three boys behind him stopped their antics and looked at Neptune before looking up at the television once more. They silently picked up their drinks and took their seats. Neptune increased the audio so that they could pick up what was being said through the television speakers. Now was their time.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"And then he made fun of how we cook!" Nora exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.

"No he didn't!" Weiss replied.

"Yeah, can you believe it? The balls on that guy all of a sudden."

Weiss laughed at Nora's comment. "Who would have thought Jaune would actually have it in him to fire back. I'm proud of him." Weiss leaned back in the chair at the desk and finished touching up her hair.

Nora scoffed at the 'Ice Princess's' comment. Pyrrha also gave a small chuckle. "Well, it was short-lived, I can tell you that." Nora responded.

Weiss looked at her with a puzzled stare. "Is that so?"

Nora simply nodded. "Yep. Ruby mumbled a few words and it scared him straight."

Weiss was surprised by that. She looked over at Ruby who was leaning against their bedroom door, seemingly listening to the conversation while looking out the window. She smiled at her teammate. She didn't think she had it in her either.

Ruby was always aggressive in combat but when it came to making threats; her stature usually prevented anyone from taking her seriously. She was still the shortest of the group and most child-like. Of course, she had grown since her first year at Beacon Academy but in Weiss's mind and the minds of just about everyone, she was still "Little Red."

"Oh, really?" She stated, eyebrow raised and still smiling. "What did she say exactly?"

Nora sat on the floor, crossing her legs and leaning back against Blake's bunk bed for support as she threw her arms behind her head in a relaxed position. Pyrrha also sat down next to her.

"Oh, something about how he'll 'Regret it later, dearly.', or something like that." Pyrrha responded, thinking back on the funny incident a few minutes ago.

Weiss chuckled at the response.

Suddenly, Weiss's scroll went off at her desk. She looked over at it before picking it up and answering.

"Hello?" She asked. "You're here? Okay. Okay. We're coming now. Bye."

She placed the device down after a quick conversation. The boys watching could only presume it was the missing two of the group. They watched as Weiss stood up and asked the girls to follow her. One by one, they exited the room and made their way down the dormitory hallway.

The group inside Team JNPR's room remained silent as they heard the footsteps travel down the hallway. Their footsteps were silent as to probably not alert the boys to what they were doing. Neptune took this opportunity to re-locate the car to a better position.

He pulled out from under the bottom bunk and began heading towards the desk Weiss was previously at. Under one end of the desk was a small cubby hole that could fit the car perfectly and give a decent view of the entire room and left less room to be seen by the others once they returned to the room.

Shortly after this, the sound of footsteps could be heard again coming down the hallway. They grew closer and closer, but this time there was the sound of glass bottle 'tinking' together. The men in the room gave each other a look, knowing full-well what that sound meant. The party was about to get started. They remained silent again as the feet traveled passed them and entered the bedroom.

The camera-car caught each of the women as they entered the room and placed bottle after bottle of their drinks on the floor. The box was then placed on Blake's bunk which, by the sound of it, still had a considerable amount of alcohol in it. Blake wiped her head of sweat and gave an exasperated sigh after placing it down.

"Nora, I don't know how you carried that box all the way from town." She stated. "Just getting it from the tree to here between Yang and I switching off was exhausting."

She collapsed to the floor and leaned against her bed, catching her breath as the other girls poured in from the hallway and placed what drinks they had around the room. The guys could see that compared to what the women had, their case of what they were drinking was child's play. They had wine coolers, mixers, rum, tequila, whiskey, and much more. If Qrow saw this room, he'd probably become a little teary-eyed.

"That's because she's a freak of nature." Weiss commented, placing the drinks she was carrying on the nightstand near where Blake was sitting.

She took a seat herself on her bed with Pyrrha joining her shortly after placing her drinks on the floor near her.

"All right, girls." A voice said. "Time to start this night!"

From where the camera was, there was no visual of the speaker. The group of boys recognized the voice as Yang, and though they could not see her face, they did see her feet walk in front of the camera and block it temporarily. The cubby hole had a good angle on the room, but it offered little in terms of alternative angles once something was placed directly in front of it. The only option for the viewers would be to wait until she moved.

The audio still picked up what sounded like something being poured into glasses on the desk above. Soon after, the sound stopped, and Yang began walking over to the group. She began handing out a glass to each woman sitting down.

"What's in here?" Ruby asked her older sister.

"Cinder-ball shots. It's the only way to start off the night." She replied, smiling.

Ruby sniffed the drink in the shot glass prior to drinking it. She pulled her head away and her eyes teared slightly. "Wow, that's uh, strong. I guess?" She stated.

Yang laughed slightly. "Yeah, it's a bit much but it's the best way to start a night of drinking."

"I didn't realize you were such the professional on these things." Pyrrha said, shooting her a playful smile.

Yang returned her smile while sticking her tongue out. "I've been to a few parties in my years to know what's best for us tonight. Now everyone, take your glass and let's raise it."

Each of the women picked up their shot glass and stood up to hold it together with each other.

"To one last girls' memory before graduation." Yang stated as their drinks 'clanked'.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

In the other room, Jaune raised his drink as the others smiled, knowing exactly what he was doing. They joined him on their feet and 'clanked' their drinks together with his.

"To a successful night of goofing off one more time before graduation, boys." Jaune stated.

"Cheers." They responded.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Cheers!" The girls responded, downing their shots and slamming them on the nightstand.

Ruby gasped after the small drinking, holding her throat as if she were dying. Pyrrha rubbed her back and tried to console her as the other four only laughed in her direction.

"Come on, Ruby." Weiss commented. "It didn't go down that hard. Just have to relax your throat."

"That's what he said." Blake commented.

The other girls just looked at her with wide eyes. Weiss was even left slack-jawed at the response. It took a minute for Blake to realize what she had said and covered her mouth as if to act like it wasn't her that said it. Somewhere across the hall were four teen boys also shocked but laughing at the comment.

"I... uh..." Blake commented further.

"I think you've been reading one too many dirty novels there, Blake." Yang commented, slyly.

She covered her face that was now red as ever while shaking her head in denial. The other girls began laughing, with exception to Ruby who was still coughing from her first Cinder-ball shot.

Weiss began picking up bottles while looking on her scroll, possibly for drink ideas. She finished her search and began smiling. The others looked at her as she began making something, adding mixtures and different alcohols together before giving them a stir. She picked up one of the cups and walked to Ruby, handing it to her.

"Here you go." She stated. "This might be a little more up your alley."

Ruby accepted the cup and began drinking it slowly. Her eye's opened and a smile came over her face. She kept drinking until her cup was empty and gave an 'Ahh' response after finishing it completely.

"That was great!' She stated, holding the cup In Weiss's direction again. "Do it again."

"Do it again?" She asked.

"Yeah! Again!" Ruby answered, shaking her cup.

Weiss shook her head with a smile and took the cup in response. "You really are such a kid you know that?" She stated, walking back over to where the drinks were.

Ruby pouted and stuck her tongue out. "You always say that! You're not that much older than me."

"Trust me, age has nothing to do with it." Weiss responded, finishing the drink and walking back over to Ruby.

She reached out and offered it again and Ruby gleefully accepted it.

"Leave her alone, Weiss." Yang cut it. "Her childishness is one of her best qualities."

"I'd have to agree. Ruby is always a lot of fun the way she is." Pyrrha responded as well.

Ruby finished her drink again, a pink hue highlighting her face as if she were several drinks in already. She had an annoyed expression captured on her face listening to the others talk about her.

"I'll *hick* have you all know *hick* I can *hick* be an adult too!" She blurted out.

The other five girls chuckled at her low tolerance to the drink. One shot and two mixed drinks and she's already in over her head. To be fair, she was indeed the smallest and obviously downing drinks as quickly as she had was going to not work out in her favor.

"Oh, is that so?" Yang asked. "What adult things do you do that we are unaware of? Please enlighten us."

Ruby began playing with her cup, flicking her fingers against it. Her gaze traveled to the floor where the "incident" happened earlier in the afternoon. The scene ran through her head over and over as it had throughout the day.

"Well... I" She started.

"No way!" Blake yelled, pointing at her!

Ruby's eyes shot open and looked over at her roommate as the others did to at her outburst. Blake was smirking and looking at Ruby directly at this point. The others shot her a confused look.

"You were thinking about what happened earlier, weren't you!" She shot at her teammate.

"What happened earlier?" Nora asked, downing a drink of her own.

Ruby hid her face in her hands, dropping the empty cup to the floor. "No! No! No!" She exclaimed while she shook her head violently.

"Jaune assaulted her." Weiss commented while taking a sip.

Nora nearly spit out her drink at the remark. Yang had to slap her back a little to help with the coughing that ensued after she had eventually been able to choke down what she had. Pyrrha gave Weiss a look mixed with confusion and surprise.

Ruby fell over on the bed and continued to hide her embarrassed face. Kill me now. She thought to herself as she laid there knowing this was going to be brought up.

"I'm sorry." Pyrrha started. "Jaune 'assaulted' Ruby?"

"Pretty much." Weiss answered, sipping her drink again. Damn, I'm quite the bartender. She thought to herself. "He tackled her to the ground and then held her there for several seconds."

Pyrrha and Nora were left speechless from this. They looked around to the other women in the room to confirm as Ruby just laid there, pretending she was part of the bed itself, motionless. Her teammates offered her no rescue as the questions continued.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier, Ruby?!" Nora asked. "Pyrrha and I could have taught him a lesson for that." She continued, slamming her fist into her hand and cracking her knuckles.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Jaune sat there downing another drink as he knew he had eyes on him from the others in the room. The sweat on his forehead was returning. I hate Team RWBY. Was all he could think to himself as his interrogation was about begin also.

"Hey, buddy." Sun started. "So y-"

"I TRIPPED!"

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"HE TRIPPED!"

The girls in the room looked over to Ruby who was now sitting up but still had her eyes shut.

"He tripped over one of Blake's books and we collided to the floor! That's all that happened, and you all know it!" She finished, pointing at each of her teammates.

Weiss continued her drink as Blake began to sip hers and look the other direction. Yang simply doubled over with laughter. Teasing her little sister had always been her favorite past time and something like this was no different. She knew that Ruby had SOME sort of feelings for the blond knight or else it wouldn't bother her as much.

"Okay! Okay!" Yang stated, standing up. She walked over and mixed herself another drink and quelled her laughter before taking a sip of her own. "I'm sorry, Rubes. It was just... interesting."

"Well it was embarrassing for me! It felt... weird." She admitted out loud.

Yang walked over to her sister and sat next to her on Weiss's now overly crowded bed, placing an arm around her sister's shoulder. Ruby looked at her with a serious face and Yang gave one in response to hers.

"It's all right. Weird how?" Yang asked.

Nora got up to refill her cup before noticing a radio.

"Hey girls, how about a little music?" She asked the others.

"Sounds good to me." Blake responded.

"Yeah! Music for girl talk!" Nor replied.

She strolled over to the desk where the camera-car was, blocking the view once again. She began playing with the knobs to the radio before finding a station.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The boys were then greeted with the loud sound of a radio on the desk blaring into the speakers of the television while their view was obstructed.

"Ah, damn it!" Neptune yelled, falling over in response.

"I think this spot might be no good, boys." Sun stated. "We won't be able to make out what they're saying."

The other hated to admit it, but he was right. They watched as Nora walked back over to the group and refilled her cup as she had previously wanted to. They watched as their mouths moved but they could hear what was being said.

"What can we do?" Jaune asked.

Neptune looked around the room with the camera after muting the speakers. It was going to be difficult to move with six girls in the room. He would have to find a better spot to listen in but at the same time, make sure the vehicle wasn't seen.

His eyes scanned the room for a few seconds before noticing a possible solution.

"There." He said, pointing to the spot on the screen. "They're all concentrated in between the bunk beds and in deep 'girl talk' conversation. I can sneak under Blake's bed from the far side without them noticing."

"Sounds good, but won't the radio still be a huge interference?"

Neptune began advancing the car out from the cubby hole under the desk and moved towards the other set of bunkbeds for a better view.

"Cut me some slack." Neptune responded. "Once I get far enough from the radio I can try and cancel out the noise with modifications I made. We should be able to hear everything they say, but obviously we will have our view obstructed a little more being under the bed."

"It still sounds like the best chance we've got now." Ren stated, finishing his third drink.

Ren watched as Neptune advanced the car further and further. His eyes were slightly glazed over traveled to Sun who was busy eating a bag of chips along with Jaune who snacked on a few pretzels.

Pancakes. He thought.

Ren stood up and brushed himself off as the others kept their attention on the television. He made his way over to the bedroom door. Pancakes. His mind was made up. This trivial snack food was not going to do it for him. Was this what buzzed cravings were? He had no idea. This was the first time he ever had anything with alcohol in it.

He reached for the knob, catching the attention of his roommate.

"Hey buddy, you okay?" Jaune asked.

Ren looked back at him slowly, emotionless as ever. "Pancakes." He stated, opening the door and walking into the hallway before shutting the door behind him.

"Well... okay then." Jaune stated, turning his attention back to the television.

Neptune found his way under the bed without any hassle. The group was too focused on what was going on to even pay attention to anything else. Sun cracked open three more drinks for himself and the other two, handing it to them to which they accepted.

Neptune pressed a few more buttons on his controller and fiddled with the speakers slightly. Within a few seconds, the sound of the blaring radio that had nearly destroyed their eardrums once amplified through the speaker had faded into background noise.

"Looks like we're back in business." Neptune mentioned to the others.

"You just need to be more aggressive!" A voice over the speaker came through.

"Yeah that's pretty clear. I can hear Nora yelling... Again." Jaune replied, taking a big sip from his drink.

"Aggressive?" Ruby questioned.

"Yep. Jaune is soft on you, Ruby. Back him into a corner... and pounce!"

Neptune and Sun looked over at the other blond friend who was now coughing after hearing that statement.

"I'm sorry... what?" Jaune stated as he tried to get his bearings. Only one thought came to mind though as he continued to listen in.

Fuck.

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Okay! I will end it there. I wanted to make this part one big chapter, but I didn't want to throw too much content in here at once, plus I plan to add the next chapter shortly. We've finally gotten to a point where I am content. Truthfully, I wanted to post this last night, but I knew with editing and all I should take my time rather than throw slop on a page and post.

Thanks for reading until the end and please post a review with any positive or negative feedback you might have. I try and answer everything by the time I post the next chapter. Again, I had a little help with this chapter so if if some things seem different, you know why. Thanks again!

Next time: Chapter 6 – Lightning in a Bottle
