I finally got around to writing the next instalment to this series (sorry it took so long). Thanks for the great response to the first four chapters! Leave a comment if you liked this one or if you want to make a suggestion.
Yang screamed so loudly, it was a wonder that the whole school didn't hear her. When Weiss heard the brawler's shriek of terror, she smiled. Her prank had worked.
Ruby heard her sister scream and leaped from Weiss' side towards the bathroom. When she kicked down the door, her jaw dropped. Oh crap… she thought as Blake appeared beside her.
"MY HAIR!" Yang yelled. The bathroom was a total mess. While trapped inside the bathroom, Weiss had decided to put dust inside the hair dryer. The result was exactly what she had intended; the dust had shot out of the device, covering Yang and everything around her in a mix of blue, red, green, and white. "MY HAIR! IT'S A MESS!" the brawler shouted as she ran to the shower to rinse the dust off.
Ruby cringed, fully aware of what might happen next. She could already imagine Yang causing an explosion of fire, burning the whole dorm room to ash. Oddly, Blake didn't seem to worry about it at all, and even had a small smirk on her face.
Yang turned the shower on and felt the water flow over her, carrying multiple colour of dust down the drain. She stood there for a while, brooding over her current predicament. Ruby would never do this to her, which left only Blake and Weiss as suspects. Blake had been working for her all day, which only left…
"Weiss…" she said quietly. The blonde left the shower, still wearing her soaking pajamas, and slowly walked towards Weiss' bed. "You…"
Weiss was still sitting with her legs against her chest, but she had a small smile on her face. Her impromptu prank had worked flawlessly; she had gotten her revenge. Looking at the red-eyed, soaked, and angry person in front of her, the heiress couldn't help but feel a little bit proud.
"What? You're mad at me? You locked me in a bathroom for hours! You pretty much traumatized me, but you're mad!?". Weiss bit her lip. She hadn't meant to sound so demeaning. Yang studied her for a second, then the red left her eyes and she guffawed. Weiss looked in disbelief for a second, but then started to nervously giggle. Blake and Ruby just stood there, watching their two teammates laugh.
"What… what just happened?" Ruby asked quietly. Blake just shrugged, just as confused as her young Team Leader.
Yang calmed down and looked at Weiss with a goofy smile on her face. "I hate to admit it, but that was pretty good Weiss". The heiress beamed with pride, clearly content with her latest prank. "I'm… sorry about… you know… locking you in the bathroom" the brawler mumbled, "I guess I took it a little bit too far".
Weiss sighed, and looked scornfully at her friend. "You went further than a little bit too far… but I forgive you". Yang smiled gratefully at her, then leapt onto Weiss' bed and embraced the heiress in a hug. "Yang, no! You're going to make me wet!" Weiss hissed at the still-soaking brawler embracing her, but made no attempt to break free.
"I'm sowwy Weiss," Yang said, looking apologetically at her. Then she leaned in and whispered, "but you know I'm going to get you back, right?".
"Right… just no bathrooms, ok?". Yang chuckled, and released Weiss, who looked expectantly at her.
"Ok… no bathrooms".
"Blake… Blake, get up!". Blake groaned and turned over, ignoring the voice hissing into her ear. "Blakey, get up!".
"Go away, it's too early" Blake moaned, trying to go back to bed. Suddenly, she felt nimble fingers slip under her blanket a squeeze her sides. "GAH" Blake shot up, but a hand covered her mouth before she could say anything. Even though she was still groggy, she could only imagine one person who would wake her up in the middle of the night.
"Shhhhh" Yang whispered, "Don't be so loud, you'll wake everyone up". Blake pushed Yang's hand off of her mouth and turned to glare at the girl.
"What are you doing!?" she hissed, "It's still dark out!". Blake suddenly noticed what Yang was wearing. "Are those… my clothes?".
The brawler looked down at what she was wearing. "Yeah, we're going to do a covert night operation, so I needed some black clothes". Blake moaned and got out of bed, careful to not wake Ruby or Weiss.
"Remind me why I'm on your team?" Blake asked rhetorically. Yang giggled and poked the faunus' side, causing her to jump. "Oh… right".
"Come on Blakey," Yang said as her partner grabbed some clothes from the closet, "hurry up". Blake zipped into the bathroom (which was still covered in dust) and quickly got changed into her signature black outfit. Yang was waiting for her, holding a bag full of supplies. "You take so long to change, I thought you'd never be done". Blake just sighed and followed the brawler as she tiptoed out of the dorm room and into the hallway.
"You know we could get in big trouble for this… right?" Blake asked Yang as the two of them scaled the outside of their dormitory. The brawler scoffed and continued climbing with her bag slung over her shoulder.
"Oh please, I do this all the time," she said confidently, "Actually, just last week I climbed up to our dorm room after class".
"Why?" Blake asked curiously.
"Because, kitty, sometimes when I climb up to our dorm room, I can catch people doing embarrassing stuff," Yang explained, "I once saw Weiss fawning over a photo of Neptune on her scroll". Blake stifled a chuckle, trying to keep her focus on climbing.
"Please don't make me laugh, we're really high up," she said, grunting with effort as she made a nimble move up the vertical wall.
"Alright, we're here," Yang announced, pulling the bag off of her shoulder. Blake climbed onto the ledge next to her and took a break.
"So what now?". Yang grinned mischievously and tossed a small device to the faunus. "We put these on the windows, they're filled with itching powder I bought from town". Blake shrugged and started to stick the small devices to the window.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from inside Team RWBY's down room. The two girls looked at each other, then at the window, then back at each other.
"Hide!" Yang hissed, shuffling away from the window. Blake crawled from the windowsill to the ledge just as Ruby's face appeared.
"Blake?" she said, her voice muffled by the window. Blake just stood there, one leg on the ledge and the other on the windowsill.
"Just act normal," Yang urged her partner. Blake slowly moved herself onto the ledge and out of Ruby's view. Little did the faunus know, she had just made a big mistake.
"Blake?" Ruby called as her friend disappeared from the window. The young leader's curiosity got the better of her, and she flipped open the lock on the window.
The two pranksters standing on the ledge outside of their dorm room barely had any time to react. They heard the sound of their window lock unlocking, then the sound of Ruby pushing against the glass.
"OH CRA-" Yang yelled as the devices attached to the window exploded, covering the three girls in itching powder.
Weiss Schnee was having a nightmare. She was back in the pitch-black bathroom, unable to move. In the dark, she could feel things moving over her body; little germs crawling on her arms, her legs, and her head. She tried to scream, but the germs flowed into her mouth. Suddenly, something grabbed her arm. A massive germ, waiting to infect her with whatever diseases littered the bathroom floor. It was calling her name… it sounded like Ruby.
"WEISS! WEISS WAKE UP!". The heiress' eyes shot open and she jolted out of bed.
"WHA- RUBY!?" she screamed, still sweating from her bad dream. At first, all she could see was the outline of her partner illuminated by the moonlight. However, as her eyes adjusted, she saw that the girl was covered in a white powder.
"WeisssomethinghappenedIwokeupthenIsawBlakeoutsidesoIopenedthewindowthentherewasthisbigexplosionandherewasdusteverywhereand IT REALLY ITCHES," Ruby burbled. She jumped around and squirmed as if there were ants in her sighed and looked at the window.
"Ok, calm down you dolt" she demanded, "now, WHAT IS GOING ON!?".
"I'll tell you what's going on!" Blake said angrily as she climbed through the window, also covered in itching powder. "Yang decided it would be a good idea to booby trap the windows with itching powder bombs".
"It wasn't a bad idea," Yang whined as she followed Blake into the dorm room, "and it almost worked". Weiss studied the three girls, then sighed and turned on the lights.
"You're all idiots!" she hissed, "Don't you know how much trouble you could all be in!? What if someone saw you!?". The three girls looked down at the ground, ashamed and embarrassed.
"Sowwy Weiss," Yang said apologetically, looking at the heiress with a pouty face. Then, she finally couldn't take it anymore and frantically scratched her arms. "GAH IT ITCHES SO MUCH!".
"Shhhhh, stop yelling" Weiss demanded, "and stop itching, you'll scratch your skin off".
"I DON'T CARE JUST MAKE IT STOP!" Yang cried, still trying to eliminate the itchy sensation. Realization dawned on Ruby's face, and she rushed towards the bathroom.
"DIBS ON THE SHOWER!" she shouted as she slammed the door behind her.
"Wha- THE SHOWER! TO THE SHOWER!" Yang yelled, bolting towards the closed bathroom door. Blake, who's itching powder was starting to take effect, took off after her partner. Weiss stood there for a moment, staring at the spot where her teammates had been just been standing.
"I'm surrounded by idiots" Weiss mumbled as she crawled back into her bed. They're lovable idiots, she thought as she drifted off to sleep, but still idiots.
