Beacon Academy Dining Hall

"Now of course, the illustrious Yang Xiao Long, Dragon of Vacuo, will say a few words. Thank you for your time. Miss Xiao Long?" Weiss says with a smirk. Yang's already wide-eyed stare only grows as her lilac orbs stay fixed on the stage. Ruby, smiling widely at her sister's shock, walks over and leads the stunned blonde to the microphone Weiss was using. The white haired beauty gives Yang a wicked look as she hands her the mic.

"Uh… Hello, I… Well I guess I have to say a few words now didn't realize I would be speaking here. I think though what I have to say, while most likely being redundant I still feel it should be said. This is a time of the year that is meant for coming together and being with family. I once struggled with that first part, but now I see that it is important that we as Huntsman and Huntresses stand as one, and that we never forget we are stronger together."

Ruby smiles at her sister, the speech was short and sweet but so very much Yang. Blake smirks at Weiss who was also smiling at the blonde brawler. The team may not always work like a well oiled machine, but it would unwise to think that their bickering was detrimental to them. This was just how Team RWBY's dynamics worked, Weiss and Yang arguing while Blake watched in amused silence Ruby tried to end the disagreement. Of course what the four women didn't know is what was going to happen next.

A team second years steps in front of the professional Huntresses, knowing smirks on their faces. Their leader, a boy probably about eighteen, holds out his hand to the four women. Still entranced in their conversation none of Team RWBY had noticed the approaches, nor that they were waiting patiently.

"Come on Weiss! We were only a bit late, it wasn't like the last mission the four of us went on and you had to hold the ship for three hours… probably shouldn't have reminded you about that one…" Yang says quietly as the temperature in the room drops as Weiss becomes even angrier.

"Thank you for that lovely little statement Xiao Long, I remember now that you still haven't paid me back for that. I swear if it wasn't for me half of this team's problems would never get solved!" Weiss growls. Ruby finally looks past her furious fiancé to see the students before them.

"Umm… guys?" Ruby says carefully. Weiss and Yang seem oblivious and continue their argument and Blake continues to smile as she watches the confrontation drag on. "Weiss? Yang?"

"Should we come back later?" the boy questions Ruby as she looks on timidly at her ignorant family.

"WEISS! YANG!" Ruby barks loudly finally making the two women shut up to listen to her. "We have guests."

Immediately the women shut up and Blake turns a knowing smirk onto the group of shocked second years. Many students never realized just how much Team RWBY bickers, even the freshmen during their senior year couldn't believe it when they'd seen up close the legendary Huntresses arguing and fighting like sisters and children.

"Sorry about that," Ruby says meekly to the four in front of them. "We often have… disagreements? Or something like that. Anyways how can we help you?"

"Well… we were wondering if we could spar against you. I know it's for charity and all, but I;m interested in seeing how the four of you fight up close, not just on the recordings. I mean… that is if you're willing to fight us," he says slyly.

"Is that a challenge?" Yang questions, a smile growing across her face. No one challenges Yang Xiao Long.

"Ummm… Yes?" the boy says with uncertainty, no longer as self-assured as when he and his team had walked up. Blake continues her smirk, knowledge of what Yang will no doubt do flooding through her mind, these second years have no idea what they've stepped into.

"Alright then, after lunch," Ruby says happily before grabbing Weiss' hand and pulls her towards the food that had been laid out on the large tables. "Come on Weiss! I'm hungry!"

-Thirty Minutes Later-

Yang slams her fists together, Ember Celica arming on her wrists. Blake draws Gambol and the collapses as she cocks the pistol and stares out at the second years. Weiss twirls Myr's expanded Dust chamber, making the weapon appear to have a moving rainbow at it's heart. Ruby wickedly activates Crescent Rose, the white and red weapon twirling about along with her cloak. The team of graduated Huntresses smile as they look on at the second years who are not recognizing the four arguing women they'd come up to roughly half an hour ago. The battle didn't last very long.

-Two Minutes Later-

The second years groan, laying upon the ground in a pile, Team RWBY having ended their attempt at learning more about them in almost no time at all. Weiss lets her smirk get the best of her and the old pompous attitude she had learned to control breaks out.

"Thought you could beat the legendary Team RWBY, didn't you?" Weiss whispers into the leader's ear as she steps away.

"Bad… choice," the leader of the fallen team grunts as RWBY happily walks out of the arena and towards the hall where they'd left the rest of their stuff.

"So that was a thing."

"Yang, when are you going to learn any more lines than that one? It is really starting to get on my nerves," Weiss grumbles at the blonde brawler.

"Weiss, Weiss, Weiss… When are you going to learn, I live to make your life a living Hell," Yang says cheerily as she dodges the symbolic punch from Weiss.

"Now you listen here you little…"

"Who's calling who little? Shrimp," Yang barks back, a shit-eating grin on her face as Weiss's own face grows red from anger.

"Brute! How about you start acting your age!"

"My age? Weiss we're the same age!" Yang shouts back lilac irises flashing red. Weiss' face returns to normal colour as she gives Yang a sly grin.

"Are you sure Yang? Honestly the way you act I'd have thought you were a four year old. I mean I don't know if you and Blake will ever have kids, considering she's already got you."

"WHY YOU!" Yang starts.

"Can the two of you cut it out for even a second?"Ruby groans. "It's Christmas Eve!"

"..." the two older women stare at the red cloaked woman giving a childish seeming look. Blake places a hand on Yang's shoulder.

"Yang, just let Weiss be for the next forty-eight hours, we sadly owe her that much, but plus could you really ruin one of Ruby's favourite holidays? She is your sister Yang?" Blake states to her fiancé. Yang's shoulders sag and she lets her head fall. Dust… I guess I have to let this one go don't I? With a heavy sigh Yang stops talking for a couple of minutes, letting Weiss collect herself and Ruby separate them for a bit. The pairs decide to retire to their homes before getting together tomorrow morning and opening presents.

Xiao Long-Belladonna Residence, Christmas Day

For the first time in a long time Blake wakes up to find Yang not in bed, but instead the sounds of cooking reach Blake's double sets of ears. How is she already up? She hasn't beaten up for almost a year. Blake disregards the thought though and gets up and into the shower.

Stepping out a couple of minutes later Blake lightly dries her cat ears before dressing and heading into the kitchen. Blake sees Yang cooking scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, and so many other foods that she has to wonder if Yang has help. Of course at that moment Ruby walks in and turns over the waffle maker, flips the pancakes, and checks the oven.

"Are we feeding a small army now?" Blake questions as she looks on at the mountain of food. Ruby giggles as she turns and darts over giving Blake a quick hug.

"No silly, we're making extra food because I'm going to dart about and give it to people before Weiss wakes up. She's still sleeping over on your couch, I guess the sparring she and I did after that match at Beacon was a little more than we should have done."

"Sparring?" Yang questions as she waggles her eyebrows at Ruby, a light blush covering the younger's cheeks. Ruby walks out of the kitchen slowly, calling out to Yang as she does so.

"Better be appropriate Yang, Winter, Qrow, and Night will be here in a bit to celebrate with us."

Blake smiles as Yang's face suddenly falls, while she may have fun teasing Weiss and Ruby if she did so with Qrow around said teasing would come back to haunt her. Muttering sadly Yang turns her attention back to the food. Stepping close Blake circles her arms around her fiancé and laughs into her back.

"Come now Yang, would it really be that bad?"

"You think your sister is bad? Dust you have no idea how bad Uncle Qrow can really be."

-35 Minutes Later-

Qrow is the last to walk through the door a smile on his face as he carries in bags and boxes galore. Winter grumbles and turns a slightly icy glare on Qrow despite the family gathering. Night just giggles as she watches the two interact and looks over at Blake currently eating forkfuls of scrambled eggs on Yang's lap. Weiss finishes her waffles and leans into Ruby is shredding the last pieces of bacon on her plate to nothing.

"What? I'm not that late?"

"Qrow, you're terribly late, that's why you're just in time. Your breakfast just finished because Weiss plans for everything," Ruby says as she points to the kitchen and motions Qrow to set the packages under the tree. Moving over and picking up the food left on the counter Qrow quickly rejoins the group seated around the tree. Ruby and Yang both get up and begin passing presents around for those at the house. Making Qrow wish he wasn't drunk given the assault of colours moving at a rapid pace through the room.

Winter smiles as she watches Qrow's head spin at the two girl's movements and has to stifle a laugh as Qrow groans and holds his head in his hands. Ruby looks over at her uncle with a disapproving glare; while Yang does her best to follow in Winter's footsteps in regard to her uncle's misfortune.

"I told you not to drink before you come Uncle Qrow… Now quiet down everyone we have presents to open and not a lot of time to do it given that many of us have other houses to go to as well," Ruby explains.

As everyone finishes up with the presents they'd given each other Ruby just sits and smiles, Weiss leaning into her as Yang hugs Blake tightly. This is what Christmas is about… This is what we have to remember. Ruby smiles even wider as Winter begins yelling at Qrow over the flask in her hands, Night is sitting in the back of the room smirking at everyone. This my family now, Ruby looks at Weiss nestled into her shoulder, no. It's our family…
