Part 5

"So let me get this straight. You're expecting me," Ruby began, "to believe you two got bruises on your butts because you sat on a sketchy bench in some sketchy park in Vale."

Blake and Yang gave each other a quick glance. "Yes," they said in unison.

Ruby eyed the duo suspiciously before clapping her hands together and smiling.

"Okay dokey. That's enough to satisfy me!"

The youngest of the team prepared to skip away but just as she lifted her leg, Weiss grabbed onto her cloak. Ruby gagged and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Weiss! Leggo!"

"No," Weiss said adamantly and tightened her grip. "Come on, Ruby. You're too lenient on them. They're obviously hiding something from us and I want to know what that something is, don't you?"

"Hm. To know or not to know..." Ruby began to stroke her chin as though she had a long, white beard that only wise men grew. With her eyes closed, she held her finger in the air as she came to her conclusion. "I don't care."

That answer didn't please Weiss because she didn't hesitate to smack Ruby upside her head. As her partner laid on the floor, clutching her head, Weiss decided to interrogate Yang and Blake on her own. "What were you doing?"

"We already told you," Blake said, nervously glancing at Yang. "We just went out on a walk."

"Uh huh. That so? Just the two of you?" Weiss asked and began to tap her shoes on the floor. Her patience was running thin. "Blake and Yang. The ol' duo. Partners in crime."

"Well… Yes…?" Blake answered, not quite sure on what the question was.

The white haired girl leaned in close and stared into Blake's eyes. Blake began to find it hard to swallow and suddenly she got the idea that she had done something bad, that she was guilty of something. In actuality, she was guilty of nothing. She and Yang had told their team mates what had happened. They had left out some details but those didn't matter. The feeling of guilt subsided and was replaced with anger.

"Why are you being so nosy, Weiss?" Blake snapped. She got up from her bed and stood toe-to-toe with the heiress. "We told you what we did. How about you tell me what you and Ruby did."

"Wh- What?" Weiss stammered. She hadn't considered the possibility of her tactics being used against her so when Blake lashed out, she was at a loss for words.

"Go on. Share what you two have been up to all day. That is…" Blake put a finger to her lips and looked innocently at Weiss. "…unless you two were up to no good."

Weiss' face was beet red at this point. Her grip on her skirt was so tight, her knuckles had started to turn white.

"I-I told Yang already a-and I'm sure she told you. She can't keep secrets."

"You know, if you really did go and play with Jaune and Pyrrha, you would have just said so, no? Ergo, judging from your unwillingness to reply and your appearance, the logical conclusion would be that you did not go with them and did something else. Isn't that right?" Blake smirked at the power she held over Weiss. Who knew teasing someone could be so much fun?

"We did go see them!" Weiss was fuming now.

Blake raised her shoulders and smiled. "Whatever you say, Weiss. Whatever you say."

"Aha, let's calm down, okay?" Ruby said and stepped between the two, her hand still rubbing the spot where Weiss had hit her. "Just a deep breathe in and- Hey!"

Yang had cut her sister off by tousling her hair. "That's my sis. Always the peacemaker," the blonde chimed in at last. While it was amusing to see Blake and Weiss fight, she, too, thought that that was enough. The next thing said could cause some serious damage. Yang turned to Weiss and Blake and said, "Like Ruby said, the both of you need to just chill-"

"But she started it," the two exclaimed simultaneously.

"Stop it! Both of you are acting like children," Yang shouted. Her raised voice was enough to silence their bickering but not Ruby who muttered something along the lines of, 'And you call me childish.' Finally, no more interruptions. "With that said," she continued and reached into her pockets. She pulled out a thin stack of papers and fanned them out to reveal four slips. "I can't take children to a concert, can I?"
