No More Mocha

How? How? There was no way this was real, no logical reason that made what she saw make sense. What was Weiss Schnee, the heiress to the famous Schnee Dust company, referring to you wonder? The kitchen, or more so, the state of the kitchen. She and Blake had only left for an hour at most! How could those two siblings have done this to her beautifully cleaned kitchen?!

"...Ruby...Yang...What...happened?" Weiss hissed out, trying to uphold her ladylike posture and grace. She could feel her right eye twitch, the sheer effort of trying to compose herself almost too much at the moment.

"Everything smells of...Mocha?" Blake questioned as she smelled the air again. "It's Weiss' instant vanilla mocha for sure but...how did you manage to cover the entire kitchen with it?" It was true, the entire kitchen was covered in steaming mocha coffee; the floor, ceiling, and walls splattered with the beverage. This also included the two teenage siblings who just sat in the middle of the floor looking down at their hands and occasionally each other.

"We didn't mean to!" Ruby wailed as she flailed her arms in the air. "We were trying to make some!" The red-haired girl then pointed to the hissing coffeepot. "But! But! It exploded!" As if on cue, the pot gave out a hissing pop as more of the boiling hot liquid burst for the top of the coffee maker.

"We didn't know it would act like this! I mean, coffee shops make mocha out of machines all the time! They don't explode on them!" Yang further explained as she tried to stand up, but slipped and landed back down on her rump with a grunt.

Blake turned her gaze to the now seething Weiss, her body trembling with rage. She knew this wasn't going to end well, not in the slightest. "Yang-"

"You two used the coffee pot to try and make instant mocha?! On what planet does that even make sense?! Why didn't you two just follow the instructions on the damn box! I had just cleaned this kitchen from last nights dinner and now-"

"We're sorry, Weiss! We really didn't mean to! We wanted to make it all frothy and stuff so we tried the coffee pot!" Ruby cried, her hair stuck to her face and slightly shiny due to the sticky drink that was now starting to cool.

"You two could have gotten seriously hurt too! Boiling liquid is nothing to play with!" Weiss snorted as she crossed her arms. "I want this place cleaned up before dinner, got it?!"

"Yes, Weiss." Ruby and Yang both sighed as they hung their heads down in shame. It was at this time Blake thought it would be best to act. She led Weiss away from the kitchen and sat her down.

"Don't you think you're being a bit hard on them?"

"Wha-! You saw that kitchen! It's a mess!" Weiss snapped back as she flung her arm in the direction of the kitchen. "It looks as though a bomb went off in there and they managed to do it in a hour! One hour, Blake!"

Blake chuckled before she placed a hand on the other girl's shoulder. "I saw that, but I also saw Ruby and Yang looking completely horrid about what they had done. Yang didn't even try to defend herself nor her sister whilst you were yelling at them." The raven haired girl smiled as she saw Weiss' features soften. "You noticed that too, huh?"

"Maybe...maybe I was a bit hard on them." Weiss sighed as she threw a glance toward the room in question.

"You and I both know that those two can be a handful at times, but by no means do they do something that would hurt others...unless it's Cardin, of course." Blake stood up before smirking at the white haired girl. "Let's go see how they're doing, hm?"

As the two made their way back into the kitchen, the sound of whines and sighs filled their ears...along with the overwhelming scent of a pine based cleaner. It was thick and sharp, making Blake let out a small cough and Weiss rub her nose in an attempt to calm the stinging sensation inside it. Their eyes were met with a sight they had never dreamed of seeing before: Yang scrubbing the ceiling with a mop and Ruby bent over the counter tops scrubbing the walls; they both had somehow tied rags to their feet as well.

Weiss shook her head while Blake let out a soft chuckle before composing herself once more. Neither spoke a word though, just standing in the door way watching the other two clean, or rather, watched them. Weiss found it hard to tear her gaze from Ruby's form and at times even found her eyes traveling up and down the lithe body mere feet away from her. She was, at one point in time, able to throw her gaze at Blake, but noticed that she (like herself) was staring at Yang.

"This was a stupid idea..." Ruby muttered as she sprayed more cleaner on another section of wall.

"It made sense in our minds though." Yang whined as she lowered the mop to let blood flow return to her tired limbs.

"Well, look at what happened! Now we're stuck cleaning!" Ruby growled as she turned to her sister. "And I'm blaming you!"

"Oh, yeah?" Yang growled back, turning to her little sibling as to accept her challenge. "Then why didn't you stop me, leader?"

"I was merely humoring you!" Ruby snorted as she crossed her arms. To normal people, it would seem as though they were fighting, but Weiss and Blake had grown used to this form of...play, the sisters did. They would bite and snap at one another in some type of mocking jest and then just kind of...shrug it off or end up wrestling.

"Oh. Were you now? I remember that you thought it was a brilliant idea and much faster then boiling water!" Yang huffed as she stepped closer to the smaller one. "I say this was your fault!"

"Oh, yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

Just like that, the two had dropped their respective tools and went to tackling the other unto the ground and 'fighting'. Weiss couldn't help but sag her shoulders as she watched the two grapple on the floor, really nothing more then a jumbled up mass of limbs and hair. "How immature." She sighed as she leaned against the wood of the doorframe.

"Think of it this way: they're working off their energy on each other and not on us." Blake pointed out with a smirk. "Come to think of it, could you imagine the damage they would have done if they were on different teams?"

The sheer thought of it made Weiss shiver, her mind imagining the school blowing up in an inferno and the only thing being heard past all the screaming was 'I didn't mean to'. A sound of triumph broke Weiss out of her thoughts only to find herself in a nightmare.

There, in the middle of the kitchen floor, lay Ruby with a fist full of Yang's hair which she seemed to be holding it like it was a leash to the older girl. "What'cha gonna do now?!" Ruby panted, clearly tired and worn down from the grappling match that Yang always seemed to win at.

"W-wait!" Weiss and Blake both stuttered as they watched Yang stiffen and Ruby just continue to grin. What happened next, however, stunned them to silence.

"So you think you've won, huh?" Yang's voice was low, more like some growl then words really, but it served to send shivers up everyone's spine. "But you made one mistake."

"O-oh?" Ruby stuttered, but still tried to keep her cocky edge. "And what's that?"

"You didn't grab close enough to my scalp." Yang smirked and before Ruby or the other two bystanders could understand what the blonde meant, she lunged at Ruby, pinning her onto the ground beneath her and sitting on top of the groaning girl. "See what I mean? You left too much slack in your line, Sis. Now you must pay the price."

Ruby's eyes widen before she let go of the hair she once held hostage. "No! No, please!" she tried in vain to push the larger off, but failed. "I'm sorry! Please don't!"

Weiss and Blake looked at each other, both asking the same question through their eyes. What could be so bad that Ruby of all people would beg for mercy? They watched Yang slide down to the younger's stomach and take in a huge gulp of air before lifting the baggy shirt ruby wore and blew a raspberry on the exposed flesh. The two friends were amazed and dumbfounded at the same time. Ruby screamed in laughter, her struggling form now immobilized due to the sensation. It appeared that all the girl could do was...laugh?

"PLEASE! SSSSSTAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHOP!" Ruby screamed, her eyes closed so tightly the leaked tears, though of joy or torture no one knew.

"Oh, no..." Yang snickered before she attacked again, this time the spasming girl's sides. "You don't get off that easily."

"...You've got to be kidding me." Weiss dead panned as she looked on with confusion. "She was begging not to be tickled?"

"If I recall, Yang is ticklish too, but it appears that Ruby can't even move." Blake thought about it some more before letting out a huff. "Though, Ruby isn't this ticklish when it comes to scratches or pokes, so I guess this is the only way to get to her."

"She'll lose her voice if they keep this up...or team JNPR will think we're trying to kill her." Weiss tapped her foot against the floor and huffed. She wasn't going to let them know that she was enjoying the sound of the red head's laughter nor tell them she found this all sorts of cute.

"Ruby without a voice? I don't think that'll ever happen." Blake chuckled as she walked back into the sitting room to read a book.

~ Dinner Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe you tickled her until she lost her voice." Blake sighed as they looked at the moping team leader who only let out a soundless sigh.

"She deserved it!" Yang laughed as she patted the smaller sister on the back before popping some food into her mouth.

"Let me get this straight, if you lose a strand of hair you go on a rampage but if ruby holds it for ransom, you tickle her until she loses her voice?" Weiss asked as she tried to point out the total lack of sense the whole thing made to them, but was only answered with a nod. "Of course you do." It was then that she had noticed Ruby had not eaten a single thing and decided to bring it up. "Stop pouting and eat your food."

Ruby only shook her head and pointed to her throat.

Yang quickly jumped out of her seat and went her to her sister's side. "Oh, man! Did I make ya scream that hard?! I'm sorry, Sis!" Yang embraced her younger in a hug, but only received a glare and a snort as an answer. "Ohhhh, you mad huh? You only ever glare at me when you're mad at me...or annoyed. Are you mad or annoyed?"

Ruby opened her mouth trying to force some sort of noise to come out, but failed and closed it.

"Wait here." Weiss huffed as she went into the kitchen, coming back a few minutes later with a mug. She handed it to Ruby and placed a hand on her hip. "It's hot mocha. It should help with your throat. After this, however, no more mocha...for the both of you!"

A/N: This really happened to me and my sister once! Do not put instant mocha mix in the coffee maker! IT DOES NOT WORK!
