Puppy Arc, now featuring 2 good boys.
Yang yawned as she strode down the hallway. Today was a busy day and she was just happy she got to relax for the rest of the day. In addition to that, hopefully she'll walk into the dorm room with their extra guest still there.
She wasn't sure how Ruby did it, but she managed to convince dad to let them take responsibility and watch over Zwei. Yang had a feeling Ruby did it thanks to a certain semblance of a certain someone, but what's the harm? Blake doesn't like him but she chalked it up to her bad experiences, and Weiss absolutely loved Zwei. Yang half expected to walk in on Weiss telling him a bedtime story on her bed.
As Yang rounded the corner, she saw Blake standing outside of their open door, glaring inside. She could also hear two distinct different dogs barking. Her experience with Zwei told her they weren't happy barks, they were angry barks from angry boys. She jogged to the door and looked inside.
"Both of you stop fighting!" Ruby demanded. Weiss and Pyrrha were in there as well, holding onto Zwei and Jaune respectively. Both dogs were barking up a storm, struggling to get out of the women's grasps and maul each other. Ruby kneeled in the middle, hands out to stop both dogs should the break free.
Yang swore she heard Blake muttering something along the lines of "yes, kill each other."
"Do I even want to know what's going on?" Yang asked, making her presence known. Zwei paused his angry tirade to give Yang a happy bark before growling back at Jaune.
"I don't know," Weiss said. "One minute, everything is fine, the next…" Weiss trailed off, looking at Pyrrha for help.
"I don't know either," the champion sighed. "Me and Jaune just got back from lunch. I invited Weiss and Ruby over to study, but the moment Jaune and Zwei saw each other... yeah."
Yang cupped her chin. She's been on the internet long enough and saw enough dog videos to think she knew what was up.
"I think I have somewhat of an idea," Yang said. "You ever see those videos of dogs barking at each other, and they're separated by like a fence or something?"
"Yeah you showed me a few of those," Ruby said.
"You remember how once the thing separating them was removed, the dogs just sheepishly backed away?"
Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha's eyes widened in revelation. Zwei and Jaune didn't seem to hear Yang and just kept trying to get at each other.
"Should we try it?" Pyrrha asked.
"Couldn't hurt to try," Weiss said.
"Ok, on three," Yang said. "One… two… three!" Weiss and Pyrrha let go. Jaune and Zwei paused for a moment.
In a perfect world, what Yang said would have come true and that would have been the end of it. But a moment later, Jaune and Zwei growled and charged each other again. They were stopped only by Ruby, who was struggling to keep them separated.
Ruby internally sobbed. It wasn't supposed to be like this! She had hoped Jaune and Zwei would have been the best of friends, playing around and doing doggy things and being the cutest besties on Remnant! How did it go so wrong?!
"Stop fighting, both of you!" She ordered but was ignored. "Heel! Cease! Ceas- GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ruby screamed as Jaune and Zwei broke through and unintentionally dragged Ruby into a cartoony dust cloud of violence.
The other three girls were quick to act and broke the fighting up. Weiss and Pyrrha hugged their dogs closer into a restricting hug. One dog was wagging his tail as his head was placed between two soft round objects. Ruby's eyes were in cartoony swirls as she swayed back and forth in Yang's embrace.
"Umm… I'm just going to take Jaune and leave now," Pyrrha said awkwardly as she stood up and Zwei and Jaune starting barking at each other again. "Sorry."
Zwei and Jaune kept at it until the door closed.
"Are you ok Ruby?" Yang asked as she helped her little sister up.
"My babies hate each other Yang, how do you think I feel?" Ruby moped.

The next day, Teams RWBY and JNPR met up for breakfast like they always did. Everyone tried conversing as normal, but there was an obvious new detail that was distracting them.
Jaune and Zwei wouldn't stop glaring daggers at one another. You would need a chainsaw to cut the heated tension between them.
Pyrrha was the first to break the tension. "So Jaune, I don't think I've congratulated you on your fights yesterday. Good job," she said with a smile.
"Yeah, nice job Jaune," Ruby said and put a hand on his shoulder.
Zwei then hopped up, dragged Ruby's hand off Jaune's shoulder, and put it on top of his head as he sat back down, growling at Jaune and then panting happily at the head pats.
Yang dropped her spoon at what she just saw. That… please for the love of god tell her that's not what Jaune and Zwei were fighting over!
Zwei growled and softly but bitterly arf'ed at Jaune. The huntsman's eyes widened.
"Yeah, true," Jaune said as he ate some of his breakfast. "...but at least my mom isn't a bitch."
RWBYNPR didn't have time to comprehend that it was Jaune that said that or think of what Zwei said/did to warrant that response. The second those words left Jaune's mouth, the huntsman in training found Zwei's jaws wrapped around his throat.
Jaune fell back and rolled on the floor screaming as Zwei growled and bit down harder. He soon got Zwei off of him and punted him across the cafeteria. Both soon recovered and charged, clashing in another cartoony dust cloud as they beat the ever-living crap out of one another.
Weiss and Pyrrha rushed to break up the fight but Glynda beat them to it, surrounding both boys in a purple aura and suspending them in the air.
"Detention. Both of you." Jaune and Zwei shared at the news, but both managed to get one last vengeance filled glare at one another.
Begun, the Puppy War has.
Also I'm not sure what Zwei is upset about. Bitch by definition is a female dog.
