"How did we get into this again?"

"Well, you know what happened, Weiss..."


Just a little bit ago

"It's gotta be around here somewhere!"

"Ruby, what is it we're looking for out in the edges of the school grounds?" Weiss inquired.

"Not many people know this, but Yang's gotta little bit of a sweet tooth as well. Of course she couldn't rival me, but she always keeps her stash hidden from me! I always find it though." Ruby explained, sifting through each small shrub and turning each rock.

"And why did I need to be here?" The Heiress questioned.

"So you can help me look!"

"Right... Well there's a disturbed pile of leaves over there, maybe that's it?"

"Good job Weiss! See, no problems he- Woah!"

As the duo stepped just a few feet away from said pile of leaves, they fell into a small pit under them.


And, now.

"Oh yeah, you pulled me along and now we're stuck in a hole." Weiss said with a twinge of irritation.

"Uhh, hehe... Well I didn't think She'd pull this kind of thing. Oh hey, there's a note down here!"

"What does it say?" Weiss asked, looking over Ruby's shoulder.

"Ahem... Yo! So, I'm gonna assume this is Ruby, so nice try sis. I guess you got a little too close to my stash, and I have to take drastic measures. I check this place every night, so I'll be there soon... Probably! Let this be a lesson Rubes, remember the, hole, thing next time you try this!"

"I can't believe her! She would even be willing to drop her sister in a pit so that she didn't lose the few things she has squirreled away!" Weiss exclaimed in surprise.

"To be honest, there's a reason she doesn't go near my sweets anymore... Yeah, she's still afraid of me when I bite things." Ruby admitted with a sheepish expression.

"So what did... You know what, I don't want to know. I do know that we're stuck here for a while. Unfortunately it was supposed to-"

Weiss was interrupted by the sudden rain that fell from the sky above.

"... Rain. It was supposed to rain today..."

"Well, it could be worse! Here, we can cuddle together to stay warm." Ruby suggested.

"We might as well, since we wont be getting out of here for a while. At least the walls and floor are made of concrete, oddly enough." Weiss said as she pondered why Beacon would have something like this in a random place, but decided that was a question for another day.

Now that Weiss had taken her place against Ruby, wrapping her arms around the small redhead's waist.

"I enjoy these times where we can be close though, so I can't be upset." Weiss said with a small sigh of relief.

"I love you, Weiss!"

"I love you too, Ruby. If you'd like, we can go out for whatever you want when we get out of here."

"Yeah! I'm gonna eat sooo many things, and we're gonna have the best time eve-"

It was Ruby's turn to be interrupted now, this time by a flash of lightning and the roaring sound of thunder in the distance.

"Hyaa! W-W-Weiss!"

Ruby quickly hid her head in Weiss' neck at the loud noise of the thunder.

"It's alright, Ruby. I'm here, nothing can happen to you." Weiss cooed in a calm voice.

"B-but Weiss! I-it's so loud and so close! W-what are we gonna do if something happens?! What, w-what-"

"Ruby, it's okay. Look at me Ruby."

The younger girl looked towards Weiss' face, but couldn't keep her eyes steady.

"Look at me Ruby. Don't look at anything else, alright?"

"O-okay..."

"You don't have to worry about anything Ruby, not even a little thunder."

Another flash of electricity, followed by the massive clap of the thunder followed Weiss' statement, making Ruby flinch away. Before she could completely retreat into herself, however, her face was touched by two soft, gentle hands. Followed by the feeling of soft lips against her own, as yet another bolt of lightning shot from the sky and the rain fell heavier. It was obvious Weiss had dealt with Ruby's fear of thunderstorms before, but she'd do it every day if she had to.

"See? If I'm here, nothing will hurt you, alright?" Weiss asked in her low voice, hoping that Ruby would calm down even a little.

"A-alright... But... Please, I don't want any more loud noises!" Ruby pleaded, resting her head in the crook of Weiss' neck once again.

Just as another strand of lightning struck the earth in the distance, Weiss had captured Ruby's lips in her own again, lightly stroking her cheek at the same time.

"If I kissed you every time lightning struck, would that help?" The heiress asked as she held the slowly calming yet still trembling body of her love.

"... Maybe..."

"Hey Ruby, remember how I told you we'd go wherever you wanted when we got out?"

"Y-yeah... Why?" Questioned the young leader in a low whisper.

"Well how about we go and steal your sister's stash at the same time, get her back for trapping us in a pit." Weiss responded.

Another flash of lightning and rumble of thunder, and another gentle kiss as Weiss held Ruby closer.

"That sound good?" Weiss asked, giving a gentle smile while staring into the silver gems that were Ruby's eyes.

"... Alright." The younger girl replied, loosening a little in Weiss' arms.

"Okay then, we'll do it all when we're done here. I wonder how Blake would respond when she finds out about all this." The older huntress stated with a more carefree tone than she had previous.

"She'd probably, freak out..." Ruby answered, loosening her grip on Weiss just a little.

"Yeah, she wouldn't let Yang forget this for a long time."

"Weiss... Can we lay down together for a little bit, I kinda want to rest for now."

"Of course, Ruby."


"So, thanks again Weiss, for helping me with all that..." Ruby again thanked her wife for what she had done.

"You act like I would have ever done anything else. But again, you're welcome Ruby."

A few hours after Ruby's panic had started, and the thunderstorm had passed. Light had finally started shining through the breaks in the looming rain clouds. They'd spent their time cuddling together, and like clockwork, with every lightning strike a kiss would follow. Eventually, Ruby had completely calmed herself in Weiss' arms.

"So Ruby, you don't need to answer if you don't want to, but what caused your fear of thunderstorms?" Weiss asked, prepared to comfort the girl in her arms should she bring up unwanted memories.

"When... My parents died, all I could remember was a lot of booms and loud noises, and the sound of the thunder while it was pouring rain. It just, brings back some things I don't really like to think about." Ruby admitted, removing any possible gap between the two of them.

"Well then every time we have a storm like that, I'll just have to create new memories with you, so you can remember those instead." The ivory haired girl said lowly as she hugged Ruby even closer.

"Hehe, I can't believe I got so lucky to have the best wife in the universe."

"But remember Ruby, I wouldn't ever be a wife if I didn't have you."


"But why do I gotta give up my whole stash?!" Yang questioned in a loud tone.

"Because you trapped your sister and her wife / your teammate / your FRIEND, in a PIT, while a THUNDERSTORM WAS RAGING!" Blake let out, obviously fed up with Yang's shenanigans at this point.

Ruby happily skipped along, the entirety of Yang's stash in hand and Weiss in tow. After much consideration (Ruby yelling all the things she wanted to do with Weiss), the two set out on their adventure of cake shopping, weapon modding, attraction hopping and all around day topping activities.

"Hey Weiss, I have ta ask though. How did you calm Ruby so well? It took me a while to get Ruby to even listen to me while those storms were goin on!" Yang asked, grateful that Weiss had been there for her sister.

"Well, back when I was looking for ways to cope with my own problems, I guess I kinda learned how to help other people at the same time." Weiss replied, following Ruby's lead through the school grounds and out the gate.

"I heard there was a problem out here, what seems to be the trouble?"

The two remaining huntresses turned to see Professor Ozpin, accompanied by Glynda. They weren't very surprised, as the headmaster liked dealing with any problem on school grounds so as to see them resolved.

"Oh, there was just a problem with this pit and my sister, but that's all taken care of! Nothin wrong here anymore!" Yang responded, a little nervousness showing.

"I see... Very well then, I shall take my leave."

"Oh wait, Professor Ozpin! I wanted to ask, just what's up with these weird holes in the ground, anyways?" Yang questioned, asking something that had been itching at the back of her head for a while now.

"Oh those, never mind them. You two should get going though, if there's no problems here." Ozpin swiftly replied.

"Oh uh, okay then..." Was the collective response of both Yang and Blake at this time. They then left the area, with a good amount of speed.

"... So, about these holes, Ozpin."

The headmaster hadn't responded to Glynda's comment but merely kept his steady gaze forward.

As he took another sip of his coffee mug.


There ya are, chapter 60! *shoots confetti* I would have done more celebrating if it were a more round number like 50, or 100, but ey, the little things man. The little things...

So will we ever find out the reason for those holes in the ground? Ozpin may never tell. But if you like secret sacrificial pit- I MEAN, secret holes in the ground, please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you all in the next installment. Byee!
