Weiss Reacts to Team Outings, Part 1!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Good Dust, well. Not long left now, is there? I must confess, these chapters were the ones I had the hardest time planning, but you know, it came into use eventually. A couple of announcements before we start.

Firstly, Weiss Reacts has now been translated into Chinese for a forum of yuri and RWBY fans there! Secondly, I'd like to announce that we've confirmed Nutshop's Nora's Arc and Chris7221's Emergence, Convergence, Aliens Among Us and Those Left Behind for Volume 3! Thirdly, I have no more announcements so let's get on with this chapter already!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise we would have more Sumerian and Babylonian mythology. (Enkidu as a Hunter? Yes, please.)

All mentioned characters and franchises belong to their respective owners.

Weiss huffed, shaking her head and crossing her arms. "Wonderful. Just absolutely wonderful."
"If it's any consolation, it wasn't my fault at least." Yang offered up helpfully, before being turned down by the heiress' icy glare. She exhaled deeply, throwing her hands up.

Blake was groaning, curled up on her side, clutching her head. "Oww…..too much….too much…."

"How did we even end up here?" Ruby inquired, frowning. "Yang, you realise mom and dad are gonna kill us, right?"
"Relax. Dad's got into trouble like this stalking both our moms like a creeper and trying to woo them." Yang scoffed, waving her hand dismissively. "We're cool. He'll probably bail us out anyway."
"How can you be so calm about this?!" Weiss hissed. "Do you even know where we are?!"
"For once, this wasn't our fault! Besides, who were we to know that they were transporting a ton of catnip through that place then?" The brawler reminded her companion. "And besides, who put a stinking dispenser of the stuff there?!"

The door to the cell the girls were being held in opened. Ruby, Weiss and Yang looked over at him- Blake was still busy clutching her head and groaning. The police officer who had opened the holding cell looked in, surveying the occupants of the cell through his visor.

"You're free to go. We've cleared up the situation, you've been cleared of charges and the shopkeeper agreed that you didn't need to be punished for what you did. You're all free to go. Nothing's on record for any of you.

Miss Schnee, your father's here to drive you and your team back to Beacon."
"I, personally, am mortified that we caused you this much trouble, officer." Weiss announced as she stood up. 'And mortified at what my father might say when we see him.'

"See? Your dad came." The brawler stood up, stretching her arms. "I really do feel sorry for that poor kid, though. He wasn't supposed to get involved in this kinda crap."
"How we went from eight hours ago to this, I'll never know." Ruby sighed, shaking her head. "Come on, guys. At least we have a fun story to tell Nora, though, right guys?"

"I suspect she'd be even more entertained if something even stupider had happened…." The heiress grumbled, before exiting the cell.

Blake pulled herself up, groaning. "…I think I should've kept working on Nanami….."

"That was the best night out we've had, though, right?" Yang offered. Ruby shook her head.

"…..no, not really."
"You guys weren't this boring eight hours ago!" The brawler complained, frowning, before looking to Blake. "Here, kitten, I'll help ya out."

"How the Dust did we even get into this situation…." The catgirl groaned, taking Yang's hand and walking behind her out of the cell, trying to recall within her addled mind the circumstances that had lead them to end up here….

….

Eight Hours Ago, RWBY Dorm…..

It was a relatively normal afternoon in Beacon. Classes had finished for the day- pretty usual, with Self-Defence with Professor Fall in the morning, History with Professor Oobleck before lunch, and Weaponcrafting with Professor Arc in the afternoon. The sun lazily shone through the dorm windows, and the sky clear of clouds, but the girls with the exception of Blake were lying in the dorm in various states of boredom and disinterest instead of doing something outside. Perhaps it was the trouble of having Weaponcrafting last, or the fact that it had been somewhat of a long day; either way, none of the girls could be bothered to do much of anything.

"I'm bored, Weiss." Yang complained, lying flat on her stomach in bed, groaning and tiredly throwing a ball against the dorm wall. Weiss sighed, not even looking up from her book- a small manual on maintenance of Dust-based weapons- and sipping from her 'Number One Girlfriend' mug.

"You know, I seem to notice that whenever you're bored, we end up doing something that gets me pranked or subject to antics."
"Hey, I apologised and tried to make up for it." The brawler pouted. "And that's not even what we're talking about! Aren't you bored too?"

Ruby was snuggled up in her blankets, huddling in bed with a bag of cookies. She peered over the edge of her bed.

"Maybe you should treat us all out to dinner in town or something." The reaper suggested. "I mean, the last time we just went out, alone, as a team, we-"
"I thought we promised never to speak about that time?" Weiss harshly reminded her. Ruby nodded suddenly, remembering what it was they had sworn never to speak of again.

"O-oh! Right! Yeah."
"We're never talking about that one again." Yang nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly. "But, point stands, we need something to do!

Screw it! I'm making a sweeping declaration! We're going out tonight! Just us four! Girls' night out!"
"And you're paying, right?" Weiss remarked.

"No way. I'm still waiting on my payslip." Yang shook her head, sighing. "I really need to get a better job."
"I still can't believe you of all people can hold down a job." The heiress commented. "One of these days, we should really visit your place of work."

"Oh, you guys'd love it." Yang chuckled. "Really. It's a fun job. It just….doesn't pay enough. Really, I'll even show you the-"

The girls were interrupted by their fourth member Blake bursting into the room, looking incensed.

Yang frowned. "Blakey, you look a little angry. What happened?"

"The nerve of Sun!" The catgirl snapped. "The scumbag stole the last tuna sandwich from the cafeteria! How dare he?!"
Weiss grumbled. "And I thought it was something worth getting irritated about."
"Tuna sandwiches are the preserve of manly meals!" The catgirl snapped at the heiress. "How dare he take the last one?!"

Yang looked a little disappointed, before shaking her head. "Eh. I know what'll calm you down, kitten.

Girls' night out. Just us…..four. You know, it'll be fun!"

Weiss raised an eyebrow at Yang pausing briefly between words, but shrugged it off. "And Yang's paying."
"Dammit, we're all paying. I can't pay for all of you! Especially Rubes, she'll eat like a thousand cookies!" The brawler complained.

Ruby pouted, crossing her arms. "Hey! I can't help it!"
"Ruby, there's can't help it and there's I must have all the cookies pweaaase." The brawler reminded her. "Honestly, sometimes, I think you use your cute, overly-adorable moe charms to persuade people to give you more cookies."
"She's not like you, Yang." Weiss quipped. "She doesn't feel the need to flaunt her charms."
"At least she has them, Weiss."
The heiress facepalmed at herself for having not seen that comment coming- in hindsight, she'd left herself open for a remark like that.

So, the heiress seethed, conceding victory to the brawler for now. "…..ggh…."

"So, now that we've decided that we're all going out, where should we go?" Ruby asked her team, who looked between themselves.

"Maybe we should go check out that new seafood place by the docks." Yang offered. "Y'know, the one that isn't a Schnee place? I mean, I don't actually remember where I first heard of it from, but I know someone told me about it…."

Blake had to shake the urge to drool over the prospect of well-cooked Valean tuna off, blinking as she looked over at the brawler. "S-sure! T-that sounds nice."

"It's a sound suggestion." Weiss shrugged, before raising her finger to add something. "Perhaps we might then visit the Dust store? I'm in need of some more Dust for Myrtenaster."
"Now that you mention it, I've been running a little low myself." The brawler admitted, looking towards Ember Celica, currently kept together by a strap and hanging off the wall of the dorm next to her bed. "Yeah, we're due a new box or two of Dust rounds."

"Now that you mention it, actually, I need some more parts for maintenance on my mecha. We should probably head out." The catgirl exhaled deeply. "Alright, I'm in for this. We should probably grab some dinner first, no?"

Yang pumped her fist, cheering. "Alright! Sounds like a date! Say, we get ready now, leave in half an hour to an hour?"
"Yay!" Ruby cheered with her sister.

"And we're not passing by a cookie shop this time. We already bought you enough cookies the last time we went out to feed every Hunter in the first two years of Beacon."

"Awww….." The reaper's spirits sank and she looked down, whimpering. Weiss flinched, resisting the immediate urge to hug her.

"She's doing it again, Yang. Make her stop."
"She learned from the best~" The brawler winked at her, holding her thumb up and smirking mischievously.

An hour later, just outside Beacon….

Yang waited by her beloved car, the Yangmobile, standing in the street outside the Beacon walls in its silver and gold glory. The paintjob was pristine, but the custom rims she had installed were a bit dented from a small traffic accident she'd had a couple of months back, and the upholstery of the front passenger seat was a little damaged from some mugger accidentally knocking Nora into the seat with her hot coffee, but apart from that, her beloved car was still good.

The rest of the team came out; Blake with her slender white trenchcoat, Weiss in her light-blue fur-lined winter coat and Ruby with her usual hood and cape, walking towards her. Yang whistled.

"Wow. You guys came dressed for the occasion. Loving the trenchcoat, Blakey~"

The catgirl blushed a little. "U-um…."
"Come off it. She didn't even flirt with you that hard this time, Belladonna." Weiss remarked, looking at her strangely. "Why do you insist on flirting with her so much?"
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Yang answered, smiling. The heiress threw her hands up.

"Why do I even ask? You'll never give me a straight answer. Whatever. Let's get going before Nora catches wind and tries to drive us to Pancake Land again."
"No wonder no government on this good planet has seen it fit to give her a driver's license." Yang quipped, before opening the doors for her friends to climb in.

…..

Twenty minutes later….

Weiss was the first to push her way out of Yang's car, glaring at her. "Did you really have to put that dustawful rap music on?"
"Hey, you complained when I put on some of the classics!" Yang reminded her, pouting.

"The classics are the great Valean composers like Eurydice and Apollonius. That rock-filled nonsense from the Achieve Men is not."

"Says the girl who listens to Rammstein."

"Metal and rock are two different things."

Blake cleared her throat, getting their attention. "So. Where's the seafood place?"

"Oh, right." Yang held up her finger and pointing down the road towards the shopping centre. "This way! It's down this road, I think."

"Are you sure we can't have cookies?" Ruby inquired, whimpering. Weiss facepalmed.

"For the last time, Ruby, I love you, and you're possibly the most adorable girl in the Four Kingdoms, but you're not adorable enough for me to want to spend another cent on cookies for you."
"Fine….." The reaper just pouted and followed her.

Vale City was very much abuzz with activity around this time of year. With the approaching summer holidays, the Schnee Dust Company and the few franchises who had managed to make headway through the Company's monopoly were setting up everything they could to take advantage of the inevitable summer rush of customers. Everyone from Dust retailers to fast food companies to pet suppliers- Weiss swore she could see an entire truck loaded with catnip driving past- were stocking up to make up for demand, and one event currently happening in the city centre was one of the many festivals held in Vale to celebrate the end of summer and the start of autumn, the Harvest Festival.

So, of course, various shopkeepers and retail workers were at work putting up decorations and setting up Harvest displays in and around the city centre, and this is the background through which team RWBY was walking through.

"You know, this year's been going pretty fast." Yang mused. "I mean, next week, it's the end of school, isn't it?"
"Oh, right." Weiss nodded. "Yes, it is indeed the end of school next week. Father was going to invite the rest of you to our summer house near the beach Jaune's uncle owns for a few weeks before we come back to Beacon for the rest of the holidays, so I was wondering what you all might think."

Ruby stared at her. "What, seriously?"

"Of course. He seems to think I couldn't stand being without you all." The heiress remarked, scoffing. Yang grinned. "You'd miss us too much."
"I doubt that."

"End of school, then a whole month of nothing but doing nothing until we come back to school." Blake commented, frowning. "Sounds unmanly to me. I'll pass."
"Oh come on!" Yang frowned. "Don't be so boring. We should really hang out all together, you know? I mean, we have one year left, so we've got to savour it all!"

"You're unusually profound." Weiss remarked, smiling a little. "Sentimental?"
"I'm just saying. I mean, after Beacon….I mean, we're all pretty lucky. Weiss, you're probably going to end up marrying Rubes, so us three, we're always going to be seeing each other, and Blakey here's always invited, but you think about it- nobody else is as lucky to have a team so close to each other.

So, y'know, just savour the time we have left!"

Blake stared at her, surprised. "Wow. You really did get a little sentimental."
"Well, if you left me, I'd miss you….guys. Yes, I'd miss you guys." The brawler hastily added, hoping Blake hadn't noticed.

Weiss chuckled. "I wish I saw this side of you more often. It's far more useful to us."
"Yeah, well, can't not have the antics. Which reminds me, we're overdue a few~"
"…good Dust no." The heiress suddenly looked far more irritated than she did minutes ago. Suddenly, Ruby pointed up at something.

"Hey! We're here!" The reaper chirped happily.

Team RWBY looked up to see a small sign over a large glass window panel, with the restaurant name, A Good Catch, printed across in teal cursive script. The restaurant was indeed, though not packed to bursting, abuzz with patrons, and it stood out in the street of SDC outfits and franchises. Yang snapped her fingers. "You know, I just remember who told me about this place. I never told you guys about me and Ruby's grandma, right?"

Weiss shook her head. "No, not at all."
"Grandma's so cool!" Ruby squealed happily. "Wait, Weiss….have you seriously never heard of someone called Demeter Rose?"
"Demeter Rose?" The heiress squinted. "…..that….actually rings a bell. Yes. She was one of the Huntresses involved in the legendary slaying of the Mus Major Grimm about….forty years ago? And one of the few Hunters with the title Fafnisbane? I had thought she had no relation to you, given she's almost legendary as a Huntress."
"Nope, that's old Grams for you." Yang chuckled. "I mean, she hasn't been in Vale for ten years- she's been out in the country doing some farming- but she came back apparently just two days ago and had lunch with Jaune's granddad- apparently she and Anton Arc go way back.

That's where I remember them talking about this place!"

Blake chuckled. "Your grandma sounds badass. We need to meet her. Soon."
"Oh, she says she might drop into Beacon one of these days to see how we are." Ruby shrugged. "But eh, let's talk about that some other time. Food calls!"

The catgirl suddenly was recalled to the fact that they were indeed in front of a seafood restaurant. Her heightened senses, of course, picked up on the whiff of tuna in the air.

She couldn't help but drool this time.

"Y-yes…." The catgirl murmured. "We s-should go…..i-in…."
"Gross." Weiss muttered, shaking her head and resisting the urge to slap Blake around the head. "Let's just go in already."

Fifteen minutes later…

Team RWBY was settled in place, having sat down and given their orders out, waiting for them to come to the table. Weiss was calmly browsing on her phone, Ruby was rapping the table with her fingers, and Yang and Blake were talking- to be precise, Yang was talking, and Blake was half-lucid and drooling over the concept of well-cooked and ready Valean tuna.

"Heheheh….t-tuna…." The catgirl murmured. Yang waved her hand in front of Blake's face.

"Hey, Blakey! Vale to Blakey! Come in!"
"Tuuuunaaaaa….."
"Hey, Blake, tanks are the best and you're not getting any tuna!"
The catgirl glared at her. "What did you just say?!"
"Teehee~" The brawler smirked. "I knew that'd get your attention. I was trying to talk to you, dammit."
"About?"
"I mean…..um….err….how do I say this?" Yang thought carefully. "I mean….it might sound a little stupid, but-"
"But? Stupid's what I do." Blake shrugged. "After all, the manly do stupid things in the pursuit of manliness, the ultimate goal!"
"Y-yeah….um…." Yang shook her head. "It's not that kinda thing. I was actually going to propose a-"

Suddenly, a loud crash issued from the front of the restaurant, and a hooded man sprinted through the front of the restaurant, running towards the table and knocking Weiss onto the floor, who glared at him.

"Hey!" The heiress snapped as she pulled herself off the floor, with some help from her neighbours. "Watch where you're going!"

The man didn't answer, instead running past her and heading to the back of the restaurant. Weiss huffed. "The nerve of these people, bumping into me and not apologising!"

"There's worse things that could happen." The brawler reminded her. Weiss huffed, shaking her head, checking her pockets as she picked up everything that had fallen onto the floor.

"Hehe…..wait. Wait." A look of dawning realization spread across her face.
"?" Ruby stared at her, confused. "What's wrong?"

"…..my wallet." The heiress repeated, patting her pockets. "My wallet's gone missing, and I had it before I feell over…."
"Nothing on the floor." Yang shook her head. "…..I think you just got pickpocketed."

"Just wonderful." Weiss seethed, irritated. "Tonight, of all nights, I get robbed.

Why did I not see this coming?"

To be continued…..

A/N: Next chapter, the chaos of the night will begin in earnest! Just how DID Team RWBY end up in jail? Who stole her wallet? What was the catnip for? Find out next time!

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, suggestions, thoughts, criticisms and reviews, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
