"IT'S THE BEACH!" Yang shouted at the top of her lungs as she leaped from the cliffs onto the aforementioned beach.

Weiss fell on her knees in relief, "We spent the last hour walking through a forest. Why couldn't we let the ship drop us off?"

Ruby kneeled next to Weiss, patting her on the back, "Because if we showed the pilot where the beach is, it wouldn't be a secret!"

Blake watched Yang swimming through the waves, "I wish to remind everyone that we came here to train."

"Of course. Now Ruby, let's get down to the beach, set up camp, and start our training-

"I'M COMING IN, SIS!" Ruby jumped off the cliff, landing on the sand, and jumping in the water, clad in a red one-piece swimsuit.

Weiss took a deep breath and looked to Blake, "Do you mind helping me set up camp?"

Blake smiled at Weiss, wrapping her arm around her to give a kiss on her head, "Of course not. But promise me you'll have fun while we're here."

Yang and Ruby washed up the shore hand in hand, "Man, Ruby. Remember when Dad would bring us up here?"

"Yeah, feels just like it was yesterday. We found Zwei on the beach didn't we?" Ruby remembered how she and Yang begged their father to take Zwei home.

"Oh Zwei. He's still with Oobleck right?"

"Yeah. Zwei seems really happy with him," Ruby sighed.

"I thought you two were cat people?" Yang and Ruby looked up at Blake, cat ears wiggling at them.

The sisters stood up and looked at Blake, clad in a black bikini top and sarong. Ruby gazed at Blake's ears, feeling warm inside knowing Blake trusted them enough to go without her bow in the open. While Ruby looked towards Blake's ears, Yang admired the rest of her body, gawking at every curve the Faunus showed off.

"Um. Are you guys alright or-

Ruby and Yang cut her off with a hugs. Blake unsure how to respond to the hug, nor to the bares skin against her's. She decided to return the favor and awkwardly hugged her girlfriends back. Her ears perking up when she heard the heiress' voice, "Ahem. Am I not invited to the group hug?"

The three girls turned to look at Weiss, dressed in a white swim shirt and bikini bottom. Ruby smiled and held her hand, pulling her into the big group hug.

"I love you guys," Ruby smiled, holding the girls she could embrace tighter, "I love you all so much."

The other three girls struggled to hold back their tears of joy. That is until Yang dragged them down into into the ocean water. The girls jumped out, shivering from the salt water and then splashing Yang for her prank.

"So, Weiss," after Ruby and Weiss had stepped back onto dry land, "What do you wanna do first?"

Ruby had hoped Weiss would offer that they would do something fun like, swimming together, making a sandcastle, or even sitting on the sand with the waves gently coming between them. She hadn't hoped for Weiss to hand Ruby, Crescent Rose instead.

"C'mon, Ruby. You and I are going to train!" Weiss gripped her Myrtenaster and walked away, expecting the brunette to follow.

Ruby glanced to Yang and Blake, who were likely to have more fun in the sun than she was.

"IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" Weiss screamed at her girlfriend.

Ruby gritted her teeth, and fired a round from her scythe, launching herself towards Weiss. She positioned her hands to ready a heavy swipe, swiping the scythe where her girlfriend used to be before she bounced off one of her summoned glyphs, landing on the opposite side of the beach.

"Ruby if you can't keep up with me, you won't be able to keep up with Goodwitch," Weiss snapped at her.

Ruby resented Weiss' voice for the past half hour, growing more annoyed with each failed attempt at hitting Weiss. Weiss had forbid her from using her rifle at all unless she was using it as a means of launching her. She said before their training session started, that if Ruby was able to hit Weiss with her scythe, she would allow her use of Myrtenaster.

An hour had gone by, and Ruby had made little progress; her strategies failing against Weiss' glyphs. It seemed that no matter the situation, Weiss had a glyph to answer. Ruby narrowed her eyes down at Weiss, transforming her weapon into a rifle and looking at Weiss through her sights.

"Ruby! I told you you can't use your rifle!" Weiss yelled at Ruby.

"I'm not using it to shoot you!" Ruby yelled back. She aimed down her sights and lowered her gun a few clicks, and fired. The bullet left a noticeable crater in the ground.

"RUBY! I SAID NO BULLETS!" Weiss complained.

"I'm not aiming at you!" Ruby answered back before firing several rounds from her rifle, one that almost grazed Weiss' ear.

She had fired twelve rounds, their craters surrounding Weiss, "Ok, Schnee. What's she planning?"

Ruby's rifle transformed into the full size scythe, its blades dug into the ground as she dragged it on the beach.

Blake and Yang sat on the cliffs of the beach, watching the battle with professional interest, "What do you think my sister's plan is?"

Blake looked at all of the bullet holes in the sand, seeing the trend, "She's guessed every possible location Weiss could go to when she attacks."

Yang smiled, crossing her arms in anticipation to what her sister was going to do.

Ruby pulled Crescent Rose out of the sand, aiming the rifle behind her. Weiss saw this and readied a glyph underneath her feet. Ruby gripped the handle of her weapon before pulling the trigger. The blast launched the black-haired girl across the beach towards Weiss. The white-haired heireiss bounced off her glyph towards the ocean. Ruby saw she was landing and fired her rifle again, pushing her towards the bullet hole closest to the ocean. Ruby smiled to herself, realizing Weiss hadn't noticed her coming in from the air. She pulled her scythe back, ready to slash at her girlfriend.

Weiss landed on the ground, and immediately noticed Ruby. There wasn't enough time to summon a glyph, nor to dodge the younger girl's attack. As she slashed Crescent Rose across, Weiss used Myrtenaster to block the blade from behind her.

There they stood, neither one of them budging; Weiss used all of her focus to keep Ruby from gaining any ground on her, while Ruby attempted desperately to push through Weiss' defenses, while thinking of firing her rifle.

"I don't think Weiss' aura is strong enough to withstand a hit like that," Ruby thought to herself, unsure what they could do to end the fight.

But just as Ruby was finished with those thoughts, Yang walked up to them, grabbed the end of Crescent Rose and brushed it against Weiss' shoulder, "And the winner is, Ruby!"

"Yang! What? Why would you do that?" Weiss demanded.

Yang shrugged, "Hey, I was getting kinda bored with you guys just running after each other, and it looked like you guys would be like that for another hour."

"But it wasn't a fair fight," Ruby cried before turning to Weiss, "Well a win's a win. Weiss?"

She put out her hands for Myrtenaster, "Fine. But, Ruby. If you do anything to Myrtenaster, then I willl never forgive you," she slowly handed Ruby her sword.

Ruby felt the raw passion and beautiful craftmenship, just by feeling Myrtenaster's grip. In just that instant, Ruby fell in love with the sword, almost as much as she loved Weiss.

"Um, Ruby? I need a weapon," Weiss laughed in confusion of Ruby's near obssesed look of Myrtenaster.

"Oh, right. I forgot. Here you go," Ruby handed Crescent Rose in its rifle form, but as she handed her weapon to her, she whispered into Weiss' ear, "But if you do anything to hurt her, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth where the Grimm will never go."

Weiss stared at Ruby with fear in her eyes, "Um, Ruby? How do I turn it into a scythe?"

Ruby pointed to the button by the trigger, "You press that. And be careful-

Crescent Rose transformed, nearly falling on the ground if Weiss hadn't hugged the weapon to her chest, "She's okay. And Ruby, if you want to change what kind of dust you want to use, there's a trigger for each kind of dust."

"Oh thank god, I thought you just randomly spun this hoping it would land on a kind of Dust you wanted," Ruby laughed, "Ok. Let's start our training."

Weiss aimed the rifle of scythe at Ruby, "Let's."

Yang and Blake stood knee deep in the water, each ready to throw a punch at the other, "So you say you're not used to kicks?" the Faunus threw a punch at the blonde, who pushed the arm out of the way and threw a punch back at Blake.

Blake ducked underneath, weaving out of the way of Yang's flurry of punches, "Yeah. That freaky Neopolitan chick gave me a lot of trouble on the train," she ducked underneath Blake's counterattack and moved backwards, digging her foot into the sand to give her balance, "Back before I got into Beacon Academy, I fought these two girls that dressed like Ruby and Weiss. The red one wasn't a probelm, but the one in white gave me a bit of trouble. Only because of her kicks."

Yang stepped out of the sand and threw another punch at Blake, who knocked it away with a kick to the wrist, "Well. Why not we work on that?"

Yang felt her wrist, her eyes growing red, "You want to play dirty don't you?" Yang popped her knuckles and threw several punches at Blake, who dodged through them whilst backing away from the angry blonde.

"Care to answer why kicks aren't your strong suit?" Blake followed through a dodge with a kick towards Yang, landing square in her gut.

Yang fell backwards in the ocean, seawater drenching her. Blake giggled, attempting to hide her laughter behind her hands.

"Here, let's get you out of the water onto dry land," she offered her hand. Yang wiped her hair out of her face and grabbed her girlfriend's hand, before she pulled Blake down into the water with her.

"I think the kitty needs a bath!" Yang yelled while Blake glared at her with her ears flared downward, "Uh, Blake?" Blake looked as though she were going to punch Yang in the jaw until she splashed water into Yang's eyes, "WHY BLAKE?! WHY?"

Blake stood out of the water, her ears shaking to dry themselves off, "No cat puns, Yang. I'm adding that as a new rule to our relationship."

Blake sat down on the beach, waiting for Yang to join her, "Let's take a break before we do anymore training."

Yang sat next to Blake, wrapping an arm around the Faunus, "Hey, can we talk about, y'know?"

"Us, you mean?"

"Yeah,"

"I'm all ears," Blake answered.

Yang took a deep breath and looked towards Ruby and Weiss, in the middle of training, "You and I are different from them. We've done this relationship stuff before. We've done all that kissing, cuddling, love junk," Yang smiled holding Blake a little tighter, "And I'm glad I can be with Ruby in her first relationship, but. I've done all this before, and how slow we're going is great for Ruby and Weiss, but, I want to take things farther. Do you know what I'm saying?"

Blake leaned her head into Yang's shoulder, "I understand how you feel. I haven't had as many relationships as you think I've had, but I understand how you feel. It does feel like we're going too slow," she hugged Yang back, "But we have to think about their feelings. They don't understand how relationships work as much as we do, and we have to set the pace that they're comfortable at."

Yang grinned, "I don't even know how a relationship with four people is supposed to work," she laughed to herself, "Maybe right now we're going too fast. Already I feel like," she hesistated while she looked at the training warriors, "Being intimate."

Yang shivered feeling a hand trail down her back, "I'm not new at this, Yang. If you need to feel intimate, I can be of some help," she felt Blake trail kisses on her back.

The blonde looked at the Faunus and smiled, returning a deep kiss on the lips, "You have no idea how badly I want this, Blake," she faced her girlfriend and pressed their heads together, "But, I want this with all of them. And that's gonna have to wait, even if this is taking longer than it's supposed to."

Blake nodded and helped her girlfriend stand up, "Let's get back to training before they get jealous."

"But now I want to make them jealous!"

"Get back in the water you dork," Yang giggled while returning back to Blake.

Ruby returned Myrtenaster to Weiss, "Weiss, your sword, it's. It's so beautiful. How did you ever make a weapon like that?"

Weiss took back Myrtenaster and gave Ruby back Crescent Rose, "My family hired the greatest swordsmith in Atlas to forge Myrtenaster. Incidently enough this was the last weapon he made before he started working with General Ironwood."

The two girls walked to Yang and Blake, not knowing if they should start a conversation, "So, Weiss. You did alright with Crescent Rose. I mean, you didn't do terrible it's just, a lot of people don't fight really great with a scythe, but you did pretty alright for someone's first time with a scythe," Ruby tried to not offend Weiss.

"Um, thank you, Ruby," Weiss smiled at the brunette, "And I thought you did brilliantly with Myrtenaster."

"You think we'll have an advantage over Goodwitch if we do that strategy I told you about?" Ruby asked.

Weiss nodded, "As long as our speed can do what your strategy needs, we'll be able to take her on," Weiss started blushing, "And Ruby? Pull your swimsuit down."

Ruby felt her butt and pulled the swimsuit to cover the rest of her bottom, "Thanks, Weiss!" she smiled and hugged the heiress, planting a small kiss on her face, "Race you!"

Weiss struggled to figure out what just happened, feeling the part of her face Ruby kissed her, "YOU DOLT! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BEAT ME!"

Weiss had forgotten that Ruby's semblance was speed, and came two minutes after Ruby had already beaten her to the punch, "What's wrong, Weiss?"

Weiss caught her breath and pointed at Ruby, "You're training with Blake next! I'm taking a break," Weiss collapsed on the sand and rested before her girlfriends' feet.

Blake smiled at Ruby and tossed her Gambol Shroud, "You heard the Heiress, Ruby," she reached for Crescent Rose, "See you on the other side of the beach."

A clone gave Blake a burst of speed, which she used to jump into the air before firing the rifle to launch her farther towards the beach.

Ruby stood awestruck, "Whoa! That's so cool!" Ruby ran after Blake, leaving behind Yang and Weiss.

Yang looked over at the collapsed Weiss, "I'm gonna go for a swim, be back in a few minutes."

Weiss nodded and closed her eyes to get a few minutes of rest. When she woke up, she heard the blonde screaming.

"Someone! Help! Grimm!"
