Pyrrha gave Ruby's hand a gentle squeeze as they strolled through the hallway of the dorm, Blake on her other side as had become the norm more often than not. They'd just returned from team practice, where the redhead had sat on the sidelines cheering on both Ruby and Blake.

They'd paired up for a change to take on Weiss and Yang, and even with the mismatch of partners it had been a close bout. In any case, the weather outside was lovely, and she was happy to enjoy it while watching what had become two of her favorite people dish out the damage.

"...And Yang was all like, 'I'm gonna flank you,', and Blakey was all, 'oh no you don't', and then WHAM!" Ruby giggled excitedly, flinging her hands about even though they were still encased within those of her girlfriends. "I hit her right in her blind spot! She went flying sooo far! And then Weiss was like, 'oh nooo' and Blakey was all dodgin' and ninja and WHAPOW!"

Pyrrha laughed at the small girl's excitable antics, sharing a fond glance with Blake. "Does she get like this after every team practice?"

"Usually," Blake replied with a small smirk. "Though I think she was a little more excited today to have a certain somebody for an audience."

"Ruby Rose," the redhead exclaimed, pretending to be shocked. "Did you purposely show off just because I was there?"

"Mayyybeee…" her girlfriend grinned unrepentantly up at her. She let go of their hands to walk backwards in front of them. "You gotta admit, though, we were pretty awesome."

"Awesome indeed," Pyrrha chuckled. "I actually wouldn't mind sparring with you sometime, Blake. If you don't mind, that is."

"Certainly," Blake agreed with a small nod. "Just let me know."

Just then an orange-haired ball of pink and white blurred by, thrusting something that looked like a long tube into Ruby's hands.

"No take backs!" Nora shouted gleefully as she continued to race on by.

The three of them paused to peer after her.

"Pyrrha," the Faunus girl mused. "Sometimes I don't really get your teammate."

The redhead sighed affectionately. "I think only Ren truly gets her, Blake. Though I believe Ruby could give her competition for… Ruby?"

There was a smattering of rose petals where her girlfriend had just been standing, as well as the mysterious tube, seemingly now empty.

"She was just here," Blake muttered in exasperation.

Pyrrha crouched down and picked up the tube before standing once more. It was fairly slender, perhaps the width of a highlighter, and almost a foot in length. "What is this?"

Blake's eyes widened as she got a close look at the tube. "I believe… it is called a pixy stick. A rather large one, at that."

The redhead tipped it onto its side, allowing a few strangely colored crystals to fall out. Comprehension was beginning to dawn upon her, though she fervently wished that she was incorrect in her suspicions.

"And… what, exactly, was inside this pixy stick?"

"Pure sugar."

The two girls looked at each other in unmitigated horror before dashing forward along the trail of rose petals.

"Ruuuby!" Pyrrha called out anxiously as they raced along.

"Ruby, where did you get to?" Blake shouted.

They came to a stop at an intersection where it looked as if the rose petal trail criss-crossed several times.

"This could be bad," Pyrrha whispered.

Blake nodded solemnly. "Very, very bad."

Just then a sudden gust of wind tossed the pair of them off of their feet and tumbling to the ground. Several papers, empty plastic bottles, and even a few hapless students flew by in its wake.

Pyrrha staggered to her feet, helping Blake up as well. "We have got to stop her," she declared firmly. "Before she causes real damage without realizing it."

"I'm not in disagreement with you," Blake sighed. "But I have no idea how to-"

Another blast of wind in the opposite direction threw them to the floor once more, followed by more debris and students, some of them the same as before.

When the girls looked up from their prone positions, there were a pair of bouquets of hand-picked flowers by their heads.

"I'm… incredibly flattered," Pyrrha murmured. "And yet, more than a little scared."

"At least we know she's been outside," Blake commented, a wry smile on her face. She gave a small giggle. "I've never gotten flowers before."

"Truly?"

"Yes, truly."

"Oh. Well, I suppose I haven't, either."

They shared a rather goofy grin together.

"We have a pretty awesome girlfriend, don't we?" Blake chuckled ruefully.

"We do indeed," Pyrrha laughed. "Terrifying in times like this, but awesome nonetheless. Now, how do we stop her?"

"I suppose… Well, should we call for backup?"

"No, let us see if we can handle this on our own…"

"And avoid the embarrassment."

"Yes," Pyrrha agreed. "Precisely."

Blake gave a little shudder. "Yang would never let me hear the end of it… Alright, I have an idea, let's try this…"

A short while later, they were stationed at opposite corners of the intersection, peering down the hallways. It didn't take long for the red-tipped cyclone to appear once more, hurtling straight down towards them.

"Got her," Blake barked out, sending Gambol Shroud out across the span and into the opposite wall. A split-second later, Ruby hit the ribbon with a whoosh as the air was knocked out of her. Both Blake and Pyrrha ducked to avoid the hurtling debris and hapless students, but Pyrrha lunged forward to tap her finger against Crescent Rose still strapped to their girlfriend's back. The diminutive girl was effectively pinned to the floor as Pyrrha activated her semblance.

"Hey guys didja like the flowers they were really pretty almost as pretty as you but not quite an' I always wanted to give you flowers but never had a reason to so I thought why not and I found them just lying there well not really lying I had to pick them but…"

Blake and Pyrrha shared a look of relief.

"How long do you think she'll be like this?" Pyrrha asked curiously.

Blake shrugged. "Not sure, I've never seen her so… Uh-oh."

Ruby's chatter had suddenly cut off, and both girls glanced back down.

Crescent Rose was lying there on the floor, with no sign on Ruby.

"Oh, Dust damn it all," Blake sighed in exasperation.

"Right," Pyrrha nodded firmly. "Plan B."

"There's a B?"

"Indeed. Right before C, which is when we fall on our knees and beg Yang for help."

"Okay, yeah, I'm all on board for B, then. Which is…?"

Eventually, Ruby was lured up to her dorm room by a trail of cookies, culminating in an entire box of her favorite store brand, kept on hand for what Blake called 'emergencies.'

And if this wasn't an emergency, Pyrrha thought to herself wearily, I don't know what would be.

The two of them were leaning against the door from the hallway, effectively trapping Ruby inside. The bouncing around seemed to have died down somewhat, leading them to be hopeful that she'd finally reached the 'crash' stage of her sugar rush.

"What are the two of you doing?" Weiss demanded as she strode down the hallway towards them.

"Oh, hey Weiss," Blake said feebly. "Um… You don't want to go in there right now."

Pyrrha nodded rapidly. "Trust us."

The heiress crossed her arms and gave them a somewhat amused glare. "Would this happen to have anything to do with my dolt of a partner?"

"Yeeesss?" they drawled in unison.

"The same partner of mine currently running laps around the quad outside and leaving trails of cookie crumbs mixed in with rose petals?"

Pyrrha and Blake shared a worried look before leaping to their feet and tearing the door open. Sure enough, aside from a whirlwind of destruction the likes of which could only be attained by either Ruby or a rampaging Deathstalker, the only thing that greeted them was an open window.

"Oh, son of a Grimm," Blake sighed wearily.

"Did the two of you really give her an entire pack of cookies and not expect her to go supersonic?" Weiss asked from behind them, a teasing lilt to her voice.

Pyrrha's head drooped as she looked down at the floor. "Plan C?"

"Plan C," Blake agreed somberly as she pulled her scroll out. "I swear to Oum, I will never hear the end of this from Yang…"

A/N: Special props to Jefardi for the idea for this that I got from Dilation. Too funny to pass up. Even as a sugar-high-induced-cyclone, Ruby's still looking out for her girls, though.

Check it out, we have actual cover art! Woohoo! This Purruby amazingness is provided by mustachioedoctopus over on Tumblr! Huge hugs and thanks!

So I'm likely gonna go to one post a day over the weekend, just 'cause I have a ton of stuff to accomplish. Twice-a-day posting should resume on Monday. Apologies for the late posting today, seems like FF was down for the morning… I'll still get the next one out tonight, though. It's another fun one.

Boarador: I agree, more fluff is always welcome!

THB4: Thanks! And dammit, now you've stuck the idea in my head. Actually… I do have a little something planned along the line that might satisfy. Stay tuned.

growlscout: Yep, purring Blake is the epitome of adorableness. I'm so glad you picked up on how Ruby is indeed actively trying to push for her girlfriends to be happy, not just with her but with each others and as a group. This was her goal all along, after all, a true threesome.

TheRedPoet: Aww, cutest thing ever, really? /blush

YandereKyuubi: Thanks! To answer, no I'm not putting lemons in the story. I might, however, publish some lemon femslash goodness over on AO3 as a companion and link to them. So far as updates go, during the week I'm updating mornings and evenings, so 2 chapters a day, but over the weekends I think I'll go to one update per day.

Stay shiny!
