AN: And now, after a long time away, and a somewhat needed break for the cast of this series, ladies and gents, get ready for more Chibi comedy fun!

[audience applause]

Yeah, there ya go. I know, it's been a while, and yeah, I'd gotten in the habit of posting something over in RWBY Meetings for this specific day, but none of the next ideas I had for it were able to be put together in time. At least not in a satisfactory manner.

Lea: Wait, what do you mean by "for this specific..." Oh wait. Never mind. I just looked at the calendar.

AN: Yeah, I had a feeling it would come to you. Ladies and gents, once again, it's October 31st! And you know what that means.

Roxas:...That it's Halloween?

Ruby: [suddenly jumps in from out of nowhere with an excited grin] IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

WBY: Yeah, we know.

Ruby: [gives her teammates a suspicious glare] And don't any of you even think about stuffing me into any trashcans again and calling it a costume.

Sora: Don't worry, Ruby. We'll make sure they don't.

AN: You know, I can't help but feel like today being the day that Justice League x RWBY Part 2, coming out on Blu-Ray today is also a small way of celebrating Ruby's birthday, but maybe that's just me. And that's another matter entirely anyway. Let's get this show on the road, everyone!

Chapter 9: No Business like Funny Business

Junior Detectives: New Management

Sun and Neptune strolled into their office, mustaches in place, and both rocking all the Junior Detective swagger. They had just gotten back from a real intense patrol, having busted three litters, caught five trash cans that were not up to code, and even prevented another pancake massacre (Surprisingly, Nora had nothing to do with that last one at all. Even they were surprised by who the actual perp was). They were feeling pretty cool and at the top of their game. Nothing could surprise them right now. Nothing that is except for the sight of Pyrrha and Nora in the office with their own Junior Detective mustaches on, once again.

"Are you kidding me? You two are seriously trying this again?" Sun groaned in exasperation.

"Hey, we're just as capable a pair of detectives as you guys are. And we proved we were even better right from day one," Nora reminded him.

"Right. By the way, did you ever find that mystery thief?" Neptune challenged, knowing how that particular case had gone for the two. Even after Pyrrha had caught Emerald with Nora's hammer, the girl had not realized they had the culprit right there.

Pyrrha could only bow her head in shame, honestly embarrassed that her Junior She-tective partner had been so easily tricked, while Nora just complained, "I was having a slow day, okay? And I just put my mustache on. You guys know it takes time for these things abilities to kick in sometimes."

"Right, sure," Sun scoffed in disbelief, sharing a look with Neptune that further communicated how little of her excuses they bought. "Look, if you called us back here to beg for your jobs back, then you're barking up the wrong trees, ladies."

"Huh? What are you talking about? We thought you were the ones who called us," Pyrrha revealed, much to the boys' surprise.

"Wait! If you didn't call us, and we didn't call you, then who is that organized this meeting?" Neptune questioned. It seemed the four Junior Detectives had quite the puzzling mystery on their hands…is what I would say if the answer did not end up discovered just three seconds later.

"That would be me, ya scrubs," a new voice announced, making everyone turn to the big desk and chair set up at the back of the room, just in time for the chair to spin around and reveal a rather irate-looking Xion. "And this is a matter of serious importance regarding this whole organization."

Normally Sun and Neptune would have demanded how yet another person had gotten into their office, but seeing it was Xion immediately put both boys on edge. Nora on the other hand had to ask, "Have that desk and chair been here this whole time?"

"FOCUS UP, MOOK!" Xion snapped, making the girls snap to attention along with the boys. They had never seen her like this before, and Xion did not seem to be letting up. "This whole department has fallen into shambles lately. Letting a bunch of rank amateur mystery solvers muscle in on our turf, blowing the budget on needless upgrades, and letting serious criminals slip by unnoticed in favor of correcting an out of code trash can?! What are you Junior Detectives, or Junior Mall Cops?!"

"Hey, we're not mall cops! We're the Junior Detectives. You can't just come in here and insult us like that," Sun insisted.

"What was that, Wukong?" Xion glared back in challenge to his statement.

"Uh, n-nothing, ma'am," Sun immediately backtracked.

"No, he's right," Neptune argued, clearly not fearing for his safety as much as Sun currently was. "You can't just muscle your way in here and start barking orders at us like this. Where's the chief? He should hear about this."

Xion just stared at Neptune for a few seconds before her glare started to burn as hot as the sun, with flames bursting off her like Yang's Semblance when activated and she replied, "Boy sit your butt down! I AM THE CHIEF!"

It was at this moment that Neptune knew he messed up. He could nothing more than quickly scurry to the far end of the room and sit down the in the seat that had somehow spontaneously appeared there, and the others could only watch in awe and fear as it all unfolded. Pyrrha then decided to take a chance, albeit with a bit more caution than the boys had and pointed out, "Would this be a bad moment to remind you that most of those problems were things that happened before Nora and I joined?"

"And yet, neither of you did anything to help fix it, now did you, Nikos?" Xion pointed out, making Pyrrha hang her head in defeat, knowing she had a point. "Well that all changes today. I'm making sure we run an airtight ship from this point forward. No more of this slacking off or poor judgment calls, and we won't let even a single speck of dirt squeak its way onto our streets." The room then fell silent in response, prompting Xion to turn around and say, "What you want me to make you all milk and cookies?! Get out there and hit those streets, people! Crime doesn't fight itself you know! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!"

"MA'AM, YES MA'AM!" all four Junior Detectives saluted as one before dashing out of the office so fast you would think they had gone at light speed.

Once she was confident she had the office to herself, Xion leaned back in her chair, kicked her feet up on the desk, whipped out a pair of sunglasses, and smirked proudly, "Watch out criminals of Vale; there's a new Junior Sherriff in town."

And that was the cue for the epic finale music to finish off this skit.

Too Many Soras Part 2

Sora stared down the person before him, not an inch of humor or joking on his normally smiling face. He had come over to Team RWBY's room with an important question, only to find this mess before him, and now, he was feeling a little annoyed. More importantly though, he had something else to deal with, and that involved the person he was currently staring down after having called both the rest of his team and Aqua. "Okay, this whole thing is…problematic, but I have a much more important question," Sora stated. He then pointed directly at the guy before him and demanded, "Who the darkness are you?"

"Seriously?" Master Sora deadpanned in reply before pointing back at Sora. "We just went over this with you, pal. We're you from other dimensions."

"Did you just point at me?" Sora Hikari accused in disbelief while pointing again.

"Wha—you pointed at me first," Master Sora reminded him, continuing the pointing that Sora Hikari had started.

"How dare you point at me!" Sora Hikari exclaimed a bit dramatically, while pointing back at Master Sora.

"Again, you were pointing first," Master Sora reminded him once more, pointing once again.

"It's rude to point," Sora Hikari scolded.

"You're being very rude!" Master Sora snapped.

As the two Soras continued bickering and pointing at each other, Team RWBY, Roxas, and Lea could only watch the back-and-forth unfold before them. Right when another round had started up, Ventus reentered the room with Aqua in tow, only to stop and stare at what was going on. "So wait, which one of them pointed first?" he had to ask.

"Sora did. Obviously," Lea replied, smirking at the knowledge his response did not answer anything for anyone even before the others just looked at him.

"You're pointing at me right now!" Master Sora snapped. "Look at you! Look at your finger! Look at your finger!"

"I'm not doing anything wrong. This is different from normal pointing," Sora Hikari insisted.

"You're accusing me of pointing WHILE YOU'RE POINTING!"

Sora Hart was right there with the others in watching this unfold, but he could not help but admit, "I feel like I'm watching these two recreate something a friend of mine would get caught up in or something."

Feeling like they had enough of this silliness, and knowing Sora Hikari was likely just doing this to be funny, Aqua cleared her throat and said, "Sora!"

"Yeah?" all three Soras responded, only to pause in confusion right after. "Oh, sorry, did you mean…?" they all continued, each pointing to one or both of the other two Soras.

"Sora…Sora," Aqua attempted to clarify.

"We're all Sora," the three Soras pointed out.

"Sora…of the Keyblade?" Aqua tried again.

"Still the same," all three Soras said, each summoning their respective Keyblade to prove the point.

Aqua just barely repressed a groan before she finally figured out the perfect clarification. "Hikari! The one from this universe! Please!"

"Oh, oh! Okay, okay, okay. I'm coming," Sora Hikari replied. "What've we got?"

"Well, the good news is, I do know a spell that should get these guys back, but it's going to take some time to get the ingredients I need, along with time to actually power up the spell. So, you're going to need to make sure these guys stay put, and that no one else accidentally ends up adding more Soras into this mix. Otherwise it'll take even longer."

"Got it," Sora Hikari promised.

Upon hearing this, Yang got a small sneaky grin on her face and asked, "So if there's more than one Sora, does that mean there could be more versions of all of us?"

"It's possible. I mean, the multiverse is endless with countless possibilities, so…" Aqua theorized aloud, only to stop when she saw Yang reaching for the gummi block responsible for this mess to begin with. She immediately smacked the blonde's hand away in response. "No! None of that!"

"Oh come on, Aqua. You can't tell me you're not a little bit curious," Yang whined.

"No, I'm not. And you shouldn't be either. You have no idea what kind of chaos we could unleash by bringing multiple different versions of several different people into one universe," Aqua insisted.

"Yeah, I'd rather we not chance it too, Sis," Ruby agreed, earning her looks from the other girls. Knowing they were giving her those looks because this whole mess was technically her fault, Ruby quickly rushed to her own defense. "Hey, I just wanted to see Sora." She had to pause when she noticed all three Soras looking at her in confusion, and quickly clarified. "Our Sora. I didn't know it would turn into some multiverse mess."

"And yet you didn't stop after the first time like we told you to," Weiss pointed out.

"Well no one told Master Sora or Sora Hart to come through the portals!" Ruby argued.

"Technically, from where I was standing, it did look like you guys were telling me to come through," Sora Hart told them.

"This doesn't involve you, Sora Hart!" Ruby snapped.

"I don't know. I'm feeling pretty involved," Sora Hart shrugged.

"Just everyone behave themselves until I get back. All of you," Aqua ordered.

"Y-yes ma'am!" everyone saluted as one as Aqua marched out of the room.

Once Aqua had left, the group split off to converse with the other two Soras, eager to find out what their worlds were like, leaving Blake to ask Ruby, "Are you really not curious about what other versions of you could be like?"

"No, mainly because it's making me think of this one dream I had a little while back," Ruby confessed. When Blake gave her a curious look, Ruby added on, "Long story short, I was betrayed by my own cuteness."

Date Night with a Twist

Another sunset was upon us, and who else would you expect to be cuddled up to watch with ice cream in hand other than Roxas and Xion. Sure, Lea would probably have joined them, but the two were on a date right now, so the redhead had opted out of being a third wheel. Neither of them said much of anything right now, but then again, maybe they did not need to. After all, when you have a bond as strong and as special as theirs, words become unnecessary. Usually, but then again, there are moments when someone does need to say something.

Such a moment seemed to arrive when Roxas suddenly stood up from where he had snuggled up to Xion's side and turned towards the nearest door inside the building they were currently on top of. "Hey, something wrong, Roxas?" Xion asked. Roxas just glanced back with a shy smile, and Xion quickly figured he had to use the bathroom or something. So she just smiled back and said, "Okay, but don't be too long."

Once again, Roxas said nothing, but instead blew her a little kiss that did not have any trouble making Xion's face turn red even as she smiled back at him cutely. With his temporary farewell given Roxas disappeared inside, leaving Xion on her own for the time being. Now that she was on her own, Xion found herself suddenly thinking about some things that had gone on tonight, namely with Roxas.

"Hmm…Roxas has been awfully quiet today. I mean, some people would say he's normally pretty quiet until he has reason to speak up or act, but this is especially quiet even for him," Xion pondered aloud. "Not to mention he's been pretty affectionate. I don't think I remember the last time he kissed me so much or so often in a single day." Thinking about how many kisses she had received from her boyfriend made Xion blush a little bit, but it also made her wonder why Roxas was suddenly so affectionate. Was today a special anniversary she had forgotten about, or was he planning something special for them. Nothing about the day so far seemed too different from their normal dates as far as she could tell. "Maybe he just lost his voice or something and was too embarrassed to say anything."

"Hey Xion, there you are," Roxas suddenly called out, dispelling that theory in an instant. Even more confusing was how Roxas sounded like he had just found her after looking for a while. "I thought we were going to meet up at the fountain in Beacon's courtyard. Why'd you rush up here ahead of me?"

Now Xion was especially confused. "What're you talking about, Roxas? We did meet up at the courtyard."

"No we didn't. I was running late because Axel had set something on fire again and I had to help put it out before any of the teachers caught us. Didn't you get the message I sent you about it?" Roxas questioned in return.

Checking her Gummiphone allowed Xion to see she did in fact get such a message from Roxas, but since she had been busy with who she thought was him all day, she had not had the time to check. In fact, the other Roxas had shown up right when the message came through, so she had not thought to check her Gummiphone at the time. "But wait, if you were with Axel, then…" Xion started to say, right when "Roxas" finally came back and quickly turned into a deer in headlights at the sight of the real Roxas. "Then who's this guy I've been spending all day with?"

"What the—?!" Roxas gasped in surprise only to scowl a little as the first suspect quickly came to his mind. "Ven! What did I say about taking my clothes for stupid twin pranks?"

"Roxas" merely smirked in reply before a shimmer of light revealed it was not Ven posing as Xion's boyfriend, but someone else entirely. Namely, a certain ice-cream-themed somebody who did not show any signs of being ashamed, even as she pulled out one of her signs. "Sorry Cutie, but I just had to have a little quality time with Precious for myself."

"P-precious?" Xion stuttered upon seeing the nickname on the sign, and going a little red in response. Roxas on the other hand, while just as red as Xion, had more important thoughts in his head at the moment.

"NEO!" Roxas hollered before jumping at the multicolored girl. He ended up missing due to a last minute trick of Neo's Semblance. "Hey! This isn't funny, Neo!" Roxas snapped as he tried to grab her again, only for Neo to slip away once more. "Hold still, you little—NEO! Get back here so I can smack you silly for trying to steal my girl."

Neo just silently chuckled in response and proceeded to lead Roxas on a merry chase, with Xion finally joining in once she had regained her wits. When the three past by Blake and Yang, the two found themselves recalling their little game of tag, making Blake smirk in amusement while Yang just grumbled under her breath about stupid illusion-like Semblances making it hard to catch people.

Happy Celebrations All Around

The room was entirely dark, but there were definitely people inside, given the hushed, excited whispers filling up the space. The sounds of footsteps could soon be heard approaching, and someone quickly started hushing everyone else, knowing the one they were waiting for was about to enter at any second. Soon enough, all whispers and other noises went completely silent, leaving the room quiet until the door creaked open, admitting the approaching party. A few seconds later, the lights came on, party poppers and horns went off, streams came flying, and everyone was all shouting one thing.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY 100 YEARS OF MAGIC!" nearly everyone who was from Remnant shouted, with Ruby right at the front excitedly screaming the words into her bullhorn, while the Keyblade wielders and all their friends from various worlds all stared back in shock, including Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and the rest of the gang from Disney World.

"Wait, what?!" Sora exclaimed in shock, even as the catchy tune of "Hey Mickey" from The Spirit of Mickey kicked on.

"Uh, I thought we were all supposed to be gathering in here to help plan a surprise birthday party for Ruby," Lea recalled, knowing he had just been talking about that very thing with Yang earlier today.

"This is the party for Ruby's birthday," Yang revealed, much to every the confusion of anyone not from Remnant. "When she heard this year was also the 100th anniversary for Disney, she insisted on making her party be something that could help you guys celebrate it at the same time as her birthday."

"Yep! We made sure we got everything for this, including all your friends from other worlds," Ruby revealed, waving around the room so that Sora, Mickey, and the gang could see all the guests. Indeed, all of the princesses, heroes, and even villains that the Keyblade wielders had ever encountered were present, and all of them mingling, sharing stories, laughs, and drinks, and basically just chilling out like good friends.

"How'd you get the villains to agree to this?" Sora asked.

"I just mentioned we'd be doing a Disney 100 celebration and they agreed," Ruby shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Even Maleficent?" Mickey gasped in shock, seeing the Mistress of all Evil conversing with a star-struck Cinder. For some reason, even with the party atmosphere going full blast, seeing those two together made all the good guys nervous.

"Yeah, she seemed especially happy about getting invited. I got the impression she doesn't get a lot of party invites," Ruby whispered to them.

"Ah gosh, this was real swell of you, Ruby. Thanks so much," Mickey smiled happily as he gave the birthday girl a big hug. "And happy birthday."

"Aw thanks Mickey," Ruby cooed in reply, happily returning the hug with all that she could muster without accidentally suffocating the king. When the two broke the hug, Ruby smiled even wider than before, assuming that was possible and cheered, "Now let's party!"

Everyone cheered, even as Team SLVR took to the stage to start singing a little karaoke, with the song "Hey Mickey" starting over again just for this purpose. I'd tell you more about their rendition of the song, but this isn't a musical chapter.

AN: And that's a wrap everyone. Not bad, right?

Lea: Man, I don't know who might have it worse. Neptune and Sun from having Xion as the new Junior Sherriff, or Neo from having to escape from both Roxas and Xion after the stunt she pulled on their date.

AN: Hmm...You know, now that you've mentioned it, I kinda have to wonder about that too. Probably Sun and Neptune though, because while she may have ran away, Neo did not seem too ashamed about what she did.

Ventus: Hey, should we take that whole thing between those three to mean something about your plans for Neo, Roxas, and Xion over in Remnant of the Key? You know, like how often certain skits in RWBY Chibi would tease some of their ships?

AN: That is totally up to you. I'm not gonna tell anyone what to think or what conclusions to draw up. Just whether or not I can confirm or deny them, and whether or not doing one way or the other would be giving away major spoilers.

Yang: And look at that: our adventure in the Sora-Verse continues, with a couple different iterations of the pointing gag. Haha! Nice.

Blake: And you referenced that one skit about how Canon Ruby met Chibi Ruby in a dream in it too. Nice touch.

Weiss: I'm just surprised you didn't have a few more skits with Ruby in them this chapter.

AN: Yeah, sorry about that. It just turned out that way, but hey, at least the last one was pretty good.

Ruby: Yeah it was! I got a birthday hug from Mickey Mouse! And I helped him and everyone from the Disney worlds celebrate 100 years of Disney! Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Mickey: Aw shucks. Thanks again for that Ruby. [gives Ruby another hug to go with the one he gave her in the skit]

Ruby: [happily squeals with joy as she reciprocates Mickey's hug]

AN: Aw, ain't that cute? Anywho, let's answer a couple reviews, shall we?

Firstly to "Guest" from 6/1/2023, yes, I do intend to do something like the "Pull the lever" gag at some point soon. Obvisouly not in this chapter, but it will happen. Just wait and see.

"ThanosGaming" no need to bribe me. I already had a couple thoughts on doing a parody of that for a skit. It'd also act as a kind of extension for a couple ones we had back in the Heroic Hijinks chapter.

"EmeraldIgnis", glad you enjoyed all of the skits last chapter so much. As far as your critique on the Zexal one goes though, I do agree with you, but like you said, I had to stick with the theme I had established, so it was kinda unavoidable, at least so long as I stuck with just the members of Team SLVR.

Finally, "Darkmaster10000000", I'll see your pointing out of everyone eating the brownies, and I'll remind you that everyone drank the Super Milk. Also, those rose petals you saw, that was just Ruby getting especially excited for both Volume 9, and the Justice League x RWBY crossover movies. Girl just couldn't sit still very long she was so excited. Thank goodness the rest of Team RWBY was here to keep her from literally bouncing off the walls. I don't think this studio could withstand such levels of Ruby Rose excitement. Also, dude, you've been losing this fight since the start. You really want to try going to war over it? Because, I have hardly even begun to fight.

Lea: Dude, back down. You do NOT want to poke that bear.

Roxas: Seriously, we once had a prank war with him back when were doing Keyblades of Future Past, and it did not end well for anyone who was not on his team.

Ventus: [huddled up in a fetal position with a petrified look on his face] I still have nightmares of the horrors we had to endure. There was no moment later on where we knew we messed up, because it was clear we had done so right from the beginning.

AN: Oh don't be so dramatic. It wasn't that bad. [smirks a bit evilly] Or was it? Hehehehe.

Weiss: I don't know if I like that laughter.

Blake: Speaking of, should we be concerned about how you mentioned Cinder was getting along with Maleficent in the last skit?

AN: Probably, or you could just chalk it up to two purely evil people getting along well. Totally up to you guys. Otherwise...

What wacky adventures will come next? Who can say for sure? After all, it's all just a bunch of fun and games when you go chibi, and there's no way to know for sure just what will entail along the way.
