Author's Note

Chapter 4 – Kitty and Puppy
Weiss quietly walk pass by her two sleeping team mates who somehow cuddling with each other. She creeps her way to the kitchen. Yang is waiting for her at the dining table with a glass of warm milk before her. "Did you get it?" the blonde brawler asks.
"Brand new. Are you sure we're going to do this again?"
"C'mon, you did say you missed her. Just another day, okay?" Weiss sigh but she proceeds on sprinkle some dust into the liquid. After she sprinkled an appropriate amount of dust, she quickly closes the lid and keeps it in her dust pouch. "How much did you put inside?" Yang asks.
"Just enough for one day. I hope she won't be so whiny than before…"
"Oh, Weiss. She's been a good girl yesterday! I'm sure she'll be better than before!" Right on cue, they heard a yawn coming from their team leader. Yang pretends to read the newspaper while Weiss head to the cabinet to make herself and Yang a drink. "What do you want to drink?" she asks.
"Make me a cup of tea. Less sugar," the blonde reply. She proceed on reading, however, she secretly peek to her sister who gladly accept the glass of milk from Weiss. Both of them anxiously watch as their leader slowly consumes the liquid. After she drank a quarter of her drink, she feels a weird sensation and a puff of smoke surrounded her. In a blink of an eye, she turned into a toddler with her wolf ears and a tail.
As Weiss pick up the girl, she said, "Mommy!" And hug the heiress. Weiss feel a slight happiness inside her. Yang place the newspaper on the table and head towards them. The Grimm girl saw her and held out her small hands, attempting to hug the blonde, "Daddy!"
"Ruby~! Daddy miss you! Did you miss me?" Weiss giggle. She hand over the girl to the blonde. Yang chuckle as she throw her in the air and caught her. The Grimm girl giggle in amusement. They're too busy with their 'family reunion' they didn't notice Blake enter the kitchen. The Faunus girl caught a scent of milk, causing her bow to twitch slightly.
She silently make her way to the dining table, careful enough not to alert her team mates. She doesn't know the milk was mixed with some age-changing dust. She look up to her team mates who are busy playing with their 'daughter'. After taking a brief sniff, she quickly consumes the drink till there's not a drop left. But she soon feels a strange sensation inside her. A cloud of smoke surrounded and she turned into a toddler.
Little Blake toddle her way to Weiss. She tugs the edge of her night gown slightly, causing the heiress to jump a little. She looks down and saw a little girl with a familiar black bow and clothes. It took her a few seconds to realize who the girl is. "Blake, what happened to you?!" she exclaim. Yang give her puzzled look but she gasps as she found out her partner has shrunk into a toddler as well. "Don't tell me she drank it….?"
Weiss went to check on the glass and found out its empty. She nods. The blonde groans. She drops the Grimm girl and gives the heiress a nervous look, "What are we suppose to do now? We got twins this time…." Weiss shrugged. Little Ruby stare at the Faunus girl. Little Blake notice the Grimm girl is looking at her; stare back into her silver eyes.
Both toddlers engage into a staring contest. Weiss sigh and Yang scratch the back of her head. "Well, I don't think they would have any problem, right?" the blonde said. The heiress shrugged and huffed.
Two hours passed on and Weiss and Yang barely hear the toddlers. Blake's been lying on Ruby's back and the Grimm girl didn't attempt to push her away. The cat girl sometimes plays with her ears but soon grew bored. Their dorm filled with awkward silence and completely unexpected by the older girls. Yang and Weiss observe them from the kitchen.
"They still at it?" Weiss ask. Yang sighs, "Yeah. I never thought those two would be that bored. Usually Ruby would running around and break something but they've been lying on the floor and look bored…." The heiress looks at their 'daughters'. She started to miss the Grimm girl's voice.
After few minutes of thinking, Yang thought she found the solution. "Weiss, do you have the ball with you?" the blonde ask.
"I always keep it in my pouch. What're you going to do with it?" The heiress handed over the red ball to the blonde. She gives the white-haired girl a wink and proceeds to roll the ball to the toddlers. Blake is the first one to react as she gets up and play with her new found toy. She looks at the Grimm girl and rolls the ball to her. Ruby sits up and rolls it back to the cat girl. She stands and walks toward Blake's bed.
Little Blake is curious of her sister's action, follows behind her. Ruby climbs up and later help her little sister. The cat girl begins to scratch on the soft fabric of the blanket. The Grimm girl caught a glimpse of a black box beneath the pillow. She pulls it out and read the title, "Ninjas of Love. Blakey, want to read this with me?" she ask.
The cat girl looks up to her and to the book. She simply nod and crawl next to her. Ruby opens the book and holds one end while Blake holds the other end. They keep on reading, not aware of the words inside.
Meanwhile, Yang decided to take a nap for a moment but the toddlers caught her attention. "Blakey, what does fuck means?" the blonde freezes. Did she mishear it? Blake answer, "I don't know. Whoa, check this out! How did he even do that?!"
Yang is curious what they're reading and slowly approaches her daughters, "Hey, my little angels! Whatcha' reading?" she said in a sweet tone. Ruby look up and her ears twitch in enthusiasm, "Ninjas of Love! Daddy, what does fuck mean?" she said. Yang felt her world is crumble into pieces.
"Ruby, where did you learn that word…?"
"It says so in this book! I ask Blakey but she doesn't know what it means…." Yang gently takes it away from the Grimm girl and read the content. Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment after she read few paragraphs. She's completely speechless. Little Ruby and Blake wait patiently with their innocent eyes watching her. "I'm going to talk to your mommy about it…" the blonde said. The toddlers nod and lay down on the soft cushion.
The blonde girl found Weiss sitting on the couch watching the television. The blonde's sudden entrance startled the ice princess for a moment. "You dolt! What is wrong with you?!" she exclaim. Yang shoves the black covered book to the heiress. "Read this and you know what's wrong with me…"
Weiss huff and discard the feeling to scold the blonde. She read the book as she was instructed. She remains speechless for a second. She look at Yang with a blank expression, "This is a graphic gay porno…" she said.
"Exactly! And the kids found it and red it!"
"They WHAT?! WHY DID YOU LET THEM READ IT?! IT'LL CORRUPTING THEIR MINDS!"
"It wasn't me! I don't know how they get it but they were reading it before I saw it! I just realized it when Ruby said 'fuck'!" Weiss groans and shove the book to the blonde brawler. "I want you to dispose it quickly!" the heiress said in desperation.
"But this is-…"
"Ugh, don't tell me you want to keep that thing?! You want the kids to read it again?!"
"No, but..."
"No buts! Dispose it right away! NOW!" the heiress huffed and walk away, leaving the blonde girl stand like an idiot. She look down to the black covered book, "But this is Blake's book…." She muttered.
Usually, Weiss wouldn't complain about classes but the fact they need to leave the children in their dorm made her hate class for today. Of course, the Schnee heiress doesn't think it's a good idea, "I have a bad feeling for leaving them here…" she said.
"We won't be long. We just have one class and we can skip our training!" the blonde replied. Weiss sigh. "But what are we going to tell Professor Port?"
"We can tell him Blake is unwell so Ruby need to look after her!" After thinking for a moment, the heiress said, "I'll go tell the kids…" She slowly approach the toddlers. Blake is trying to pounce on Ruby's tail while the Grimm girl snickers of her fail attempts. Weiss cough a bit, getting their attention.
"Ruby, Blake. Your father and I are going to go for class. I want you two to stay here till we come back, okay?" Both of them nod and say 'okay' in unison. Before they left for class, Weiss kissed their forehead and Yang ruffled their hair.
Ruby and Blake sat on their mother's bed, not knowing what to do. They soon feel bored and lonely. The cat girl lay down on her back and look up to the ceiling in boredom. The Grimm girl climb up the bookshelf. She open and look out to the window in awe. She call out to her sister, "Blakey! Blakey! Want to go out and play?!"
Blake sit up and give her a surprised look, "But mom said we should stay in here till they get back…" she said. Ruby pouted. "Aww, Blakey~! I'm bored! Daddy and mommy never bring us out!"
"But-…."
"We won't be long! I promise!" Ruby assured her. "Where are we going?" Blake ask. The thought of looking at the outside world caught her attention. Her red and black haired sister respond with a grin. "To the forest! Dad said it's beautiful!" The cat girl smile in enthusiasm.
Ruby shift herself into a Grimm. She jump down to Blake and said, "Hop on!" The cat girl nod and climb onto the Grimm's back. She wrap her small arms around her neck as Ruby quickly leap onto the bookshelf and out from the window. Ruby landed on a tree and proceed to descend to the ground. She carefully grip onto the tree trunk with her claws and safely landed on the ground.
"Are you okay, Blakey?" she ask the raven haired girl. Blake is shaking in fear but at the same time, she feel excited, "That was awesome!" she said in excitement. The cat girl sits up and shouted, "C'mon, sis! Let's go to the forest!"
Ruby grins and reply, "Okay! Hold on tight, Blakey!" The Grimm sprint into the Emerald Forest with Blake grip onto her cloak tightly. Both of them giggle and laugh, forgetting that they should stay in the dorm.
-Meanwhile-
A struck of worry hit Weiss as she slightly raise her head in jolt. Yang who is half awake upon hearing Professor Port's lame speech about his youth days look at her in confusion. She mutter, "Something's not right…"
"Since when you started to develop maternal instinct?" the blonde said, half bored and barely stay awake. The heiress give her a glare, "I'm worried about the kids. Are they alright? Did they do any trouble? You did lock the door AND the window, right?" she whispered.
"Relax, if I didn't lock the door, there's no way they would open them!" Yang answered in confidence. Weiss pouted, "Not helping, Yang…" she growled. The blonde sigh and gently squeeze the Schnee princess' hand, "I know how much you cared about them. But worrying like this is not helping. For now, just calm down, okay?"
Weiss look down for a second. She return to look at Yang and give her a smile. The blonde girl grins, forgetting about her hand squeezing the heiress' hand. "You can let go off of my hand now," she muttered.
"Oh, sorry!" She pull her hand away and scratch the back of her head. Weiss huffed and look at the opposite direction. However, she hold her hand and mumbled, "Thank you…" and slightly blushed.
Ruby walk through the forest with Blake on her back. Both of them look at the beautiful greenery of the Emerald Forest in awe. As they reach the deeper part of the forest, Blake drop herself from her sister's back. The Grimm return to her human self. The cat girl's bow twitch as she saw a bird hovering near her face. She try to catch it but fail.
"It's so beautiful! I wonder why mom wouldn't want to bring us here…." Blake said to her sister. The Grimm girl shrug, "I don't know. But it's worth it!" she said and walk away, making the cat girl cry out her name, "Hey, wait for me!"
Blake run to Ruby and quickly grab her hand. The girls walk deeper into the forest, unaware of the crimson eyes watching them beyond the trees. This cause the raven haired girl feel slightly uncomfortable, "Sis, I think someone is watching us…" she whisper.
"Huh, who's watching?" Before Blake could respond, Ruby stop dead on her track. An alpha Beowolf is blocking their way, growl fiercely at them. Blake squeak and quickly hide behind Ruby. The Grimm girl tilt her head slightly. Her silver eyes stare deeply into the Beowolf's crimson eyes. Suddenly, she exclaim, "Whoa, Grimmy~! Look, Blakey! They're Grimmies! Daddy told us about them remember?!"
The Grimm girl gently put her small hands onto the Beowolf's snout. The Beowolf curiously sniff her and the raven haired girl. Ruby grins and hug the Grimm before her, "Look, Blakey! I'm hugging Grimmy!" The Beowolf make no attempt to shake her away. Instead, it lay down to the ground and let the girl climb up to its head.
"Sis, dad said they're dangerous! And don't leave me here!" she exclaim in fear. Ruby slightly pout, "Am I dangerous too?" she said in a sad tone. Blake quickly shook her head.
"No! You're not! But-…" Ruby drop herself from the Beowolf's head. She walk to the cat girl. She grab her hand and slowly put it to the Grimm's snout. Blake's hand shaking in fear but she slowly move her hand to the new surface. She soon proceed to touch the Grimm with her other hand. "See, Grimmy is not dangerous!" Ruby said with a grin on her face.
The Beowolf sits up and look down to the raven haired girl who begin to tremble in fear once again. The Grimm tilt its head slightly. It gently nudge her with its paw. Blake hesitate for a moment but she slowly touch its paw. The Beowolf nudge her with its snout playfully. A struck of enthusiasm hit Blake who begin to climb up to the Grimm's head. On the other hand, Ruby discover a pair of Ursa behind the bushes.
The girls keep on playing with the Grimm they discovered, not noticing how long they've been staying in the forest.
"Ruby! Blake! We're back!" Weiss called out her daughters and expect to be welcome. But there's no answer. The heiress look around for them and started to get worried. She call them out once again, "Ruby? Blake?"
Yang enters and sensed the awkward silence of the room, "Where are those two?" she ask. Weiss shrugged. Her face shows great concern. She look up to the top bunks but she had no luck. She panicked, "Ruby! Blake! This is not the time for hide and seek!"
She looked under both her and Blake's bed but there's no sign of the girls. She stand and glance at the opened window, 'Oh, don't tell me they….!' She rushed to the window and look out to the courtyard. She called the blonde, "Yang! Yang!"
"What is it?!" Yang rushed over next to the heiress and look at her in concern. "Do you think they…"
"Weiss, we don't know whether it's true or not…."
"But what if it's true?! They're out there somewhere! Hungry, scared, lost! If we don't find them, someone might kidnap them or the Grimm might kill them! We have to find them, Yang! We have to….find them…" Tears are formed in her eyes. She grew attach to them even though they're not her actually daughters.
Yang place her hand on her shoulder in comfort, "You shouldn't worry about them too much. I'm sure they'll come back before night fall…." Weiss give her a glare. Her eyes are filled with tears. "How are you so sure about it?" she ask.
"They're our team mates, Weiss. I'm sure they can take care of themselves even though they shrunk down like that. Ruby's a part Grimm, remember? So she might talked everything out with the wild Grimm out there. Besides, every kids would come home before dinner." Weiss look at her blonde team mate. Yang give her signature grin to the heiress. She smile and nod.
"Great! Now you're smiling, why don't you prepare dinner? I'm going to take a shower. And don't worry too much. They'll be back in one piece!" Yang said before she head to the bathroom. Weiss look out to the window and smile.
-Meanwhile-
The sun starting to set and Blake noticed the bright orange sky. She call out to her sister who tugging the Beowolf's ear with her mouth, "Sis, we have to go home!" Ruby open her mouth to answer but she fell to the ground. She look up to the orange sky and realized how long they've been in the forest.
"Okay! See you again, Grimmies!" Blake scurry to Ruby and climb up her back. She turn around and wave at the Beowolf and the pair of Ursa, "Bye!" she said.
Ruby sprints to the academy and carefully climb up the tree. She reached at a branch which led them to their home. She leap into the open window. Blake dropped herself from Ruby's back. The Grimm shifts herself to human. She shouted, "Mom! Dad! We're home!"
"Ruby! Blake! Where have you been?!" Weiss exclaimed as she return from the bathroom and saw the girls. She hug them tightly and check on them for injuries, "Are you okay?! You're not hurt, are you?!"
"Mom, we're fine! We were playing at the forest with the Grimmies!" Ruby said in her cheery tone. Blake nod. Weiss sigh in relief. "I'm so worried about you two! Don't go out playing without telling mommy or daddy again!" The girls look down in guilt.
"It's my fault, mommy. Blakey told me to stay but I told her it's okay. I'm sorry…" Weiss couldn't see her shrunk partner look sad and guilty. She even take the blame for what they've done. She pull both of them in an embrace. "I won't blame you two. I'm sure you two are hungry right now. Go wash your hands and wait at the table. Your father and I will be there later…"
The girls squealed 'yay' and scurried to the kitchen. Yang look down from her top bunk. Weiss look up to the blonde and smile. "I told you they'll come back…" she mutter.
"You're right. Still, how do you know they would return?"
"Weiss, they're our partners. The last place they would go is home. And we are their home." Yang dropped herself from her bunk. She give the heiress a huge grin. Weiss smile, "C'mon, the kids are waiting…"
It didn't took them long to put Ruby and Blake to bed since they're exhausted. Both of them are sleeping on Weiss' Schnee heiress stretched her arms to the air. Yang is standing next to her with her hands on her waist. "Too bad they're not going to remember any of this…" she said.
"Yeah, I'm really going to miss them as a kid. Though turning Blake into a toddler is not part of the plan, still, they get along pretty well."
"Blake is a quiet little kitten while Ruby is an energetic little puppy who desires for adventures. I really thought they would fight, you know, like an actual cat and dog." Yang look at her white-haired team mate who stare deeply to the sleeping toddlers.
"Wanna cuddle for the last time? Before they return to normal the next morning…" Yang suggested. Weiss blushed. The blonde grin, expecting to be rejected. Instead, she answered, "Okay, I agree because it's my bed anyway! And you might be lonely without Blake…."
Yang lay on the left side of Weiss' bed and next to Ruby while Weiss sleep on the opposite side and next to Blake. The heiress wrapped her arms around the sleeping toddlers and surprisingly Yang as well. The blonde smile and pull them closer to her.
"Goodnight, princess…." Yang murmured and close her eyes. Within few seconds, the blonde fell asleep. Weiss sigh and smile. She scooted herself closer to them and slowly close her eyes. She murmured, "Goodnight, Yang…." Before she fell asleep.
The next morning, Blake and Ruby returned normal and found out something interesting in the Schnee heiress' bed. The Grimm girl took out her phone and snap some pictures of Weiss and Yang cuddle with each other. Blake look at the younger girl and shook her head, "Weiss and Yang will kill you if they found out about the picture…."
"Aww, come on, Blakey~! It's not always we get to see them cuddling with each other. Usually they would shouted at each other like a spoilt married couple…" Blake have no choice but to agree as well. But then she realized something, "Wait, what did you just call me?"
"Blakey! Y-you don't like it…?" Ruby ask. Blake quickly shook her head, "No, it's just I feel somewhat familiar with that nickname. Can you use that to call me from now on?" Ruby smile grew wider and nod.
Both of them take a quick glance on their sleeping partners before went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Who knew that ice and fire would mixed up well….
Author's Note
Yes people, I ship Snow Dragon. I like the love-hate relationship between the two of them since I love making them fight with each other in my stories. So, I'm really disappointed of the bottom parts of this chapter. Oh well, what's done is done. At least I'm still alive. Au Revoir~!
