How do ya do, peoples? We've got here chapter 47, and I feel it's time to get the dust outta the wheels! Yeah, I know, it's been a little while, sorry... Also, I got good interwebs now, So I can update to my little cold heart's contempt! So lets get right into it!


"Ruby! Come on!"

"Wha, huh? Weiss, what's goin on?"

"Come on, you have to get up, there's no time to explain!"

The newly awoken redhead was roughly pulled out of her bed by the frantic Heiress. She had no idea what the situation was, but if Weiss was worried, it was bad. So, Ruby got dressed, and followed her out the door.

"Where are we going?"

"We have to get Blake and Yang, They could be targets!"

"Targets?!"

"I'll explain once we're safe!"

The older girl took Ruby's hand, ran through the big double doors of the gymnasium where the other two were training, and made a roll for cover behind a wall. Blake and Yang obviously saw this, and went to question her.

"What was up with that, Weiss? What, you got ninjas after you or somethin?"

"Close, but no. We need to get out of here, and to a secure area!"

"Woah woah woah, chill! What's goin on?"

"There's no time to explain, we have to get moving!"

Just then, the wall Weiss was hiding behind had gotten hit with throwing stars that flew in through the window.

"Holy shit, there actually are ninjas!"

"Come on, Yang!"


The three surprised girls followed Weiss, they didn't know where they were going though. Eventually, she led them to an underground bunker (The one she and Ruby used when she got her revenge on the other two, ironically).

"Okay, so do you want to fill us in now, Weiss?"

"Alright. So, you remember my birthday from last year right?"

"What about it? You never told us when your birthday was, so we just celebrated it on Christmas, because it had to be sometime in Winter."

"Why the hell does everyone just assume my birthday is near Christmas? No, it's not in the winter, it's today!"

This actually surprised the three. It was a bit embarrassing to think they didn't even know her birthday, though.

"Weeiiiisss! Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday!"

"Sorry, Ruby. But I didn't want you to get caught in the crossfire. But, you were close to me, so I couldn't take a chance with leaving you behind."

"The crossfire? What's going on? What does your birthday have to do with it?"

"Well, a long time ago, I made a deal with Winter. She would stop pranking me for the entire year, but she could get my birthday. She didn't have any limits on what she could do, when she could do it, and now I'm protecting us."

"Two things. First, Why didn't this happen last year? Second, she really is just like Yang, isn't she?"

"She gave me the first year off, and yes, she is."

Blake nodded her head in understanding. However, Ruby was still skeptical about this whole thing. Her sister wouldn't do something like this to her, so would Winter really do that to Weiss?

"Are you sure about all this, Weiss? I don't think she'd do something this bad..."

The Heiress pulled out her scroll, selecting a voice message from Winter and playing it.

Hey, Snowflake! So, remember our little deal? Yeah, that's back on! I gave you last year as a charity, but Imma comin for you this time! I just thought I'd give you a few days notice, so, yeah, byee!

"... Or she would do something this bad."

"So, what's the plan?"

Weiss had looked at the speaker, Yang, and gave a suspicious look.

"You're playing into this really easily... How do I know you're the real Yang!?"

The blonde just gave an irritated glare.

"Okay, you're you. But how do I know you aren't working with her!? You're notoriously pranky, so why wouldn't you help her?!"

"Because my sister is in love with you."

"That hasn't stopped you before!"

"W-well, can't you just t-take my word for it?"

"You're stuttering!"

"I-I'm nervous! I got a homicidal Schnee on my ass, too! I don't wanna be thrown out to the beowolves!"

"You can't be trusted! You are banished from the island! Banished!"

"Uh, Weiss, this is a blast shelter-"

"I don't care what it is Ruby, She's banished!"

"No, you can't do this! I don't wanna get caught up in this!"

"Come on, Weiss. Let her stay, for me..."

Ruby put on that cute face she knew Weiss loved. The one that turned her to putty in the redhead's hands. The one that apparently doesn't work when Weiss is paranoid out of her mind.

"Don't care! Banished!"

Yang had now been thrown out of the shelter. irritated, she huffed her way to their room.

"Well, now I think we're safe."

Hahahahaha! Wow, snowflake! I didn't expect you to freak that much!

Weiss, now shocked and angry, looked around for the source of Winter's voice.

I'm talkin through the mic on this secret camera I set up in there! What, you think I'd overlook that place? I'm a Schnee too, ya know, and Schnee's always have a paranoia bunker set up wherever they go!

"Damnit, Winter! When will you stop this already?!"

I dunno. Sometime. You have to realize how amazing this time of the year is for me! But, in any case, I can get into your little shelter, so ya may want to reconsider your hidy hole!

"This is not a hidy hole, it's a bunker! And I know this is just a trick to get me out of it!"

The door above them, which was on an electronic lock activated by a keypad which only Weiss knew the code to, had opened on its own.

Wanna try that again?

"Flee from the hidy hole!"


The three did just that, and ran as fast as they could into their room. It wasn't the safest bet, but it was the only choice.

"Alright, so now what? Wait a minute, why is the room so clean and tidy?"

"Oh yeah, while you three were being ultra paranoid, a cleaner came in to clean."

"Yang! Why would you let anyone in?"

"Come on! It didn't happen last year, why would it this time?"

"You don't know who we're dealing with here!"

Yang wasn't worried at all, not in the slightest. So not worried that she was going to go make a sandwich in the kitchen. On the way, she stopped to take a look at something.

"Oh hey, cleaner musta dropped somethin on the way out. Looks like it's a small box..."

"Yang NO!"

Weiss' words had reached the blonde to late, as she had already picked up the tiny box, and held it in front of her, reading the label.

"See? It's just some cleaning supplies the dude dropped. You're just para-"

The 'box' exploded, sending a torrent of a thick liquid all over the room.

"What, the fuck, was that?"

"That, was Winter. I told you not to pick up the box, yang!"

"How was I supposed to know it was a bomb?! It was such a tiny box! And what even is all this shit?"

Blake examined the liquid, which wasn't difficult now that it was smeared all over everything.

"It looks a little like paint, but it's too thick, and way too sweet smelling."

"It's custard!"

"What? Ruby, how could you just know-"

"Is this a question that needs to be asked?"

"But, why custard?"

Blake looked to Weiss for an answer, which she had.

"It was her favorite dessert. Maybe even her favorite thing in the world. She thought that, and I quote, 'Custard was the only dessert that deserves to exist'. She used them all the time on me before, setting up little booby traps all over our house. It was the main reason I made the deal in the first place."

Riiing Riiiing

"Hello? Weiss, it's for you..."

Ruby had passed the scroll to her partner, who was about ready to kill her sister.

"What do you want now?"

Oh, come now my little snowflake! That was just a custard bomb! Aren't you even a little surprised that I fit that much into a little box like that?

"No."

Bah, you're no fun. But really, you freaked out over just a custard bomb... And all that psychological stuff of 'when is she gonna get me', and being paranoid...

"Yeah yeah, I get it, you like pranking me. That doesn't mean you have to try and kill us!"

Kill you? What? No! I would never try to hurt you!

"Then what was with those throwing stars earlier?"

Huh? Throwing stars?


At the time of the incident

"Okay, I reaaally need to start putting a limit on what I do with you, Nora."

"Come ooon Ren! You know you love it!"

"... But I don't"

"But you love me!"

"... But I do love you."

"That's right, now step back! I got mad trickshot ninja skills, and I don't wanna hit you!"

"This is the only time I'm letting you use throwing stars to hit the buttons on the tv, just because you're lazy."

Nora threw them, and missed the tv completely. Instead, they hit Jaune's shield (He raised it when he saw something flying towards him), hit a metal support beam on the wall in the hallway, and flew out the window of their hall.

"... Oops."


"Well, even if that wasn't you, you still pulled a bad prank on me."

It may have been bad on it's own, but now it's not.

"What? W-what do you mean?"

Its on it's way...

Winter hung up the phone, leaving Weiss to contemplate the message.

"Uhh, guys, there's kinda something flying towards the window!"

A canister, about the size of Ruby's forearm, broke through the window Blake stood at, and bounced off the wall. It started to beep after a half a second, though.

"Hit the dirt!"

It was already too late. The canister exploded with nearly triple the ordinance of the last one. With triple the amount of custard as well.

"Weiss! Are you alright?!"

Ruby went to Weiss, seeing her in a shocked state.

"Weiss? Weiss!"

"... Winter..."

Weiss mumbled something Ruby couldn't hear.

"What?"

"Winter..."

"Weiss?"

"WIIINNTEEEERRRR! YOU MANIAC! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"


There we are, chapter 47. It got pretty long, a little rambly and veeerry paranoid. Though Winter's pranking skills are top notch. And I'm sure Nora will get that MLN (Major League Ninja) trickshot someday... Planet of the Apes reference, if you didn't know... The whole custard bomb thing came from Phoenix Commander, the custard is the best thing was his quote btw... Sorry for the huge delay on the chapter... Please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you all in the next installment. Byee!
