Team SSSN stood in the cafeteria, bustling with activity after the intense match between Yang and Pyrrha not even minutes beforehand. The heated battle really had people talking, if the odd outburst from Yang didn't have them already. Scarlet held a camera up against his shoulder, filming Sun and Sage. Sun held a microphone up to his face, whilst Sage looked around for his target.

That was when Sun grabbed Sage's shoulder and twisted him around, pointing in a vague direction at something in the cafeteria.

"THERE'S NEWS, SAGE!" he shouted.

Even louder, Sun shouted "TEAM SSSN LADS ACTION NEWS TEEEAAAAMMM!" at the top of his lungs, before the two of them charged off into the crowd. Scarlet hurriedly ran after the two, desperately calling "Sun! Sage! Boys! Wait up!"

The small sea of parents and hunters-in-training was separated as the trio leapt through the crowd, over dining tables, and into unfortunate dinner-goers' meals. The cable between the camera Scarlet was holding and the microphone Sun was holding almost tripped up the red-haired boy several times, with a bit of a wail.

Team SSSN stopped and knelt down, as they attempted to catch their breath following the quick sprint around and over the tables. Sun fell into a bench whilst Sage collapsed over the table behind them. The camera was pointed far downwards and heavy breathing could be heard from Scarlet.

"Oi, lads," he spoke up between heavy breaths, "what 'appened to Neptune? I swear he was here like, five minutes ago, or something. Bloody hell…"

Sun looked up and his eyes rolled. "Oh. Yeah. Forgot about him. Oh well, I'm sure he's somewhere having his balls crushed, by Weiss, or whoever he hit on today. Fuck me I'm tired…"

Sage rolled over and groaned a little bit, mumbling something along the lines of "Fucker's probably dead."

Sun then hopped up onto his feet, having successfully kicked over far more chairs than necessary. "Lads, come on," he began, "We still need to go and find the NEWS!"

Sage shot up like a spring and was instantly on his feet, snatching the microphone from Sun and sprinting past Scarlet screaming "TEAM SSSN LADS ACTION NEWS TEEEEEAAAAAMMmmm…"

It didn't take long for the other two to catch up to him, the camera shaking furiously as Scarlet tried to film whatever was going on in front of him. The recording was mostly people looking confused, shouting, or moving out of the way in a very shaky video. They finally arrived to where Sage was, where they found…

"So, tall, dark and handsome; you come here often?" He had a ridiculous grin on his face, and lay on team CFVY's table in the 'french girl' pose. Yatsuhashi had absolutely no idea what was going on, until Sun ran straight into his back. He stole the microphone from Sage and jammed it in his face (as if Sage wasn't already doing that) and spoke to him very quickly.

"So, dude, uh, what's the news? You got any news? Any good news?"

Yatsuhashi looked a little bit lost, as he gazed over to his teammates for help. Fox continued to eat whilst Coco observed his predicament and Velvet went over to the bar to see if they had any more salad.

"No, wait, wait wait wait. If you could fuck any one of us, who would ya choose?" Sage butted in and started asking his own questions.

"Um." By this point, Coco was giggling.

"What's your opinion on Scarlet's huge nose?"

"Piss off, Sage!"

"I… uh…" He decided to remain quiet, as there seemed to be literally no good outcome to this.

Sun forcefully yanked the microphone out of Sage's hand and pointed towards the meal he was eating. "Hey, bro," he asked, "isn't that a full glass of water?"

Yatsuhashi nodded.

"Pretty dangerous havin' a full cup of water around here, you know…"

Yatsuhashi was about to ask why, before Sage leapt off of the table and spun around, sticking his leg out and kicking the glass straight off of the table. It's contents spilled everywhere, but the glass had fortunately not smashed. Coco was laughing so hard she was wheezing by this point.

"Ahaha! Oh shit, man, you got done in!"

Velvet strutted towards the intruding boys, holding her salad, and did not look best impressed that Yatsuhashi was being harassed by the three.

"Oh fuck, Sage, boy, it's the backup! FUCKIN' RUN!"

Velvet was about to give chase, but gave up as she watched team SSSN barrel through the crowd with little regard to where they were going. She heard Scarlet give out a surprised squawk as he fell flat on his face, tripping over the wiring, and Sun shouting "You got fucked!"

Team RWBY, minus Yang - who sat in their dorm, doing gods only know what - were seated at the table they had claimed as their own at the start of the year. Taiyang and Mrs Schnee had left a few minutes ago, saying they would go on a walk, leaving Winter with them. All four of the girls were concerned for Yang's safety, because it was never normal for something like that to happen. While, yes, she had emotional outbursts, she had never literally exploded, just set mildly ablaze. Apparently the staff had to order new windows in the theatre where the combat took place, because it shattered the glass - or so Ruby had heard.

And, obviously, it wouldn't be the only thing she would be hearing today…

"What's that shouting all about?" Ruby turned to Weiss for an answer, as they both listened out for the approaching shouts and screams of one, or multiple, people. Blake's ears perked up, thankfully unnoticed by Weiss, and she quickly turned to them saying "For what's about to happen, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what, Bla-"

"TEEAAMM SSSN LADS ACTION NEWS TEEEAAAMMM!"

"GIRLS! GIRLS! ANY OF YA GOT ANY NEWS?" Ruby very quickly found a microphone shoved in her face courtesy of Sun, with Sage close by looking just as excited and out of breath, with Scarlet filming it all.

"Uh, Sun? What's all this?"

Sage looked at her incredulously. "Seriously? Are you like, some kind of social hermit or something?"

Maybe? "Well, I mean, I don't know-"

Sun cut in, shouting "It's team SSSN's lads action news team! Look at the mic! What else could it possibly be?!"

Taking a closer look at the microphone, Ruby found that yes, it infact had a sticker on it with the silhouettes of the four boys emblazoned with the words "TEAM SSSN LADS ACTION NEWS TEAM".

Weiss stuck her hand out, and asked "Stop. If it's called Team SSSN 'news team', then where is Neptune? Is he not the N of the team?"

Sage kicked back on the bench, right next to Winter, seemingly not caring. He rolled his eyes and retorted with "Uh, he's boring? Can't keep up? This is a very difficult job, and if you ain't cut up for it, then you get cut boys!"

The three of them cheered and shared a high-five. Scarlet missed and ended up flat on his face, again, tripping over a wire pulled taut by Sun. He screeched as he fell down, and then groaned.

"Dammit Sun!"

"Hah, 'ya fuckin' idiot."

That was when Sage pulled the microphone from Sun and leapt over the table, sticking it in Blake's face next. "So, Blake, bro, you got any news for us either?"

She glared at him as she turned the page in his book. "No. Get lost."

"Jeez, way to be a bummer."

"HEADS UP!" The call came barely seconds before Scarlet slid straight across the table, Sun obviously winning the little slapfight the two engaged in. The boy had thrown him and now had his hands on his knees, trying to stand whilst laughing. Scarlet screamed as he slid along the table, inadvertently kicking a very pissed off Blake in the face, and falling straight off the other end. Weiss had to resist the very strong urges to skewer the three of them.

"Five seconds. Five seconds is what I'll give you to get out of my sight right now, Sun. You two as well."

Sage, having recovered from his bout of laughter, looked at her with a twisted head. "Nah, we don't feel like it."

"Four." Blake's eyes narrowed dangerously and her hand had deposited the book on the ruined table, reaching for Gambol Shroud.

"OH SHIT BOYS!" shouted Scarlet as he scrambled to his feet among tuna sandwiches, "FUCKIN' RUN LADS!"

"Wait, Scarlet, no, what's up? Why?" Sun held him in place while the wide eyed Scarlet pointed behind him, behind Sage, and towards the headmaster and his assistant walking into the suddenly quieter cafeteria.

"SHIT! IT'S THE COPS!"

"IT'S THE BLOODY ROZZERS! LEG IT!"

All three of them were screaming the words "TEAM SSSN LADS ACTION NEWS TEAM" as they dashed towards the door in hopes of escaping Mrs Goodwitch's wrath. They jumped towards the door, equipment in hand, the whole cafeteria staring at them.

Unfortunately; they missed. Instead, the 'news team' hit and went straight through the windows. Coco was the only person who dared to laugh.

"Duuude…" Sage's groan broke through and echoed throughout the cafeteria, "We are in so much shit."

"Yeah… We know, shitdick."

"Fackin' hell…"

The day has turned into evening and then night, but Yang still hadn't returned since her explosion. Ruby lay in her bed, looking at the ceiling, worried sick. Weiss was looking at the bottom of Ruby's bed, worrying about Ruby worrying.

Blake, on the other side of the room, was also looking at the bottom of the bed above her, trying to make sense of what happened earlier today. No, not the stupid team SSSN that ruined the meal earlier, but what happened to Yang? Truth be told, she missed the rowdy berserker's light snoring, very audible to Blake's cat ears. They calmed her down and helped her fall asleep. Not that night, though, it would appear.

She would not admit it to anyone, but she missed the whole package the blonde brought to the table. Her carefree personality, her loudness, her stupidly long and unkempt blonde hair, her more pronounced features… You get the point. And the reason why she wouldn't admit it was that she was afraid. Not of what Yang would do when she found out, but because, assuming Yang would return the feelings, her past might catch up with her again. And if that were about to happen, Blake would stand to lose more than friends. She simply didn't want to inflict that amount of pain on anyone.

She was also worried for Yang's safety, but she told herself that a huntress-in-training with Yang's dispositions shouldn't be in danger while outside.

She thought she sensed someone singing outside, and that it was very off-key. She attributed it to her overactive imagination.

Weiss tried not to worry about Yang, but she couldn't help but worry about Ruby, who seemed very absent since Yang ran away. She didn't even remember to kiss Weiss goodnight as she always did. She also wasn't the bubbly Ruby Rose she learned to love. She barely spoke to or acknowledged anyone.

Weiss knew how much Yang meant to Ruby, but she also knew that Yang knew how to take care of herself. She tried to explain that to the unusually quiet girl, but she just shrugged and looked away.

The girl Weiss was worrying about hadn't moved from her spot since she got out of the bathroom. Something about Yang's outbreak scared her. It was more than her usual rage. Did she want to win that much? She was always competitive.

Then she thought she heard something familiar. She strained her ears, in that moment wishing she was a Faunus so she would be sure if the voice was really there or if she was just imagining it.

The voice grew stronger and stronger, though. And after a while, she could discern that the voice was definitely female and it was singing (or rather, trying to sing, but horribly off-key). She recognized the voice soon after and her heart skipped a beat.

She was back. Ruby breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up to her knees and watched the door, waiting for them to open.

Then she heard stomping as the voice was coming closer and closer. Is she alone? This can't be her steps. In that moment, Ruby paled at the thought that she went out to hook up with someone and bring that person here, completely disregarding her team and wanting to do… Stuff with that person right there, in front of all of them.

From time to time, as steps came ever closer, Ruby heard a muffled thud, as if someone or something hit the wall.

Finally, the door opened. By that time, Weiss and Blake were up too, prepared for anything. In came, or better, stumbled, Yang. Alone.

There was definitely something wrong with her, though. She fell on the floor face-first, which made her stop singing and the trio was very happy with that. But, after she fell, Yang didn't jump straight back at her feet and instead started… Moaning?

Ruby was approaching Yang slowly and unsurely while the other two just watched.

"Yang... Are you okay?" Ruby asked as she got close enough to her. Her moaning didn't stop, though, and it seemed like her hands were clutching her stomach. Ruby was paler than the wall. Who hurt you this much?

"Yang, who did this to you?"

Through moans and occasional hiccoughs, Yang managed to say "I did."

Not only did that not help Ruby, but it also opened up a whole lot new questions.

"Y-You did?", she managed to stutter out. "B-But how? Why?"

Yang grunted and tried to make herself sit up, which proved rather hard, given her predicament. Somehow she managed to do it and only then did Ruby see how weird Yang's face was. Her eyes were bloodshot, her makeup ruined, mascara running down her cheeks, leaving behind black lines. Her mouth was open and she smelt funny. She was also panting a lot, as if extremely tired.

"S-Sis…" Before Yang could continue, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands and picked herself up to run for the bathroom. Ruby was looking at her sister with concern, and then she heard a weird gurgling noise coming from inside the bathroom. She looked around at her two teammates, trying to make sense of what was happening.

"D-Does any one of you two know what she meant by that? How did she do this to herself?"

Blake looked at Weiss who seemed a bit less clueless than Ruby, but it was quite obvious she was the only one that knew exactly what it was Yang did to herself to be like that.

She sighed. "Ruby, your sister is drunk. She drank too much alcohol, that's why she's like she is."

It was obvious Ruby didn't have the slightest idea what Blake was talking about. "A-Alcohol? What is that?"

"I'm not gonna be teaching you chemistry here, but I'll tell you this: some drinks contain alcohol. If you drink a lot of those, you get drunk. If you drink after you're drunk already, you become like Yang now."

The gurgling from the bathroom stopped and now the girls heard water running.

"So, she's gonna be like this now forever?"

"Oh, Dust no." Blake couldn't believe a 15 year old could know that little about alcohol. "She'll be fine by the morning. Well, not perfectly fine."

"What do you mean?"

"Uhh… Her head will probably hurt like hell. She seems to have drunk a whole lot."

"B-But what is she doing now?" The stuff Blake was telling her didn't really make any sense to the reaper. Why would people want to hurt themselves like this? Why did Yang do it?

"Sometimes, when you drink too much alcohol, you vomit because you feel too sick."

With that, Yang stumbled out the bathroom, having cleaned herself up somewhat and putting on some perfume for some reason. Blake didn't mind it as she found herself in a crushing hug from her partner. She was also talking quite loudly, which wasn't really gentle on her sensitive ears.

"You're the best kitty in the world, Blake! I love you so much!" She then tried to plant a kiss on the Faunus' mouth, but Blake used her lightning reflexes to turn her face enough that the kiss only reached her cheek. Yang pouted, but let go and jumped on Ruby.

"Rubles! Did I ever tell you you're the best sister in the world?"

"N-Not in a while, Yang."

"Well, I should do that more often then! Oh, and also, you're one lucky girl, you know that? To have both Sch-"

Suddenly Yang felt a hand around her mouth and it muffled whatever it was she wanted to say. Then a piercing squeal of "YAAAAAANG!" was heard from Ruby's mouth, whose face was at least as red as her namesake at that point.

Weiss heard and knew what Yang was about to say too. She widened her lips in a small smile and started planning her next move.

"What was that Yang was saying, Ruby?", she asked with feigned jealousy, which of course made Ruby nervous and scared.

"H-Huh? What do y-you mean? She's j-just blabbering ab-about, you know."

"Then why are you so red in the face? And stuttering that much?"

"I… I'm not used to it. Not like this."

"Yang," Weiss turned towards the blonde, "what did you want to say? Ruby, let go of her mouth."

"N-No!"

"Why? I mean, it's just blabbering, isn't it?"

"W-Well maybe I just don't want her to bore you with her blabbering then!"

"On the contrary, I'm very interested in that. What she wanted to say was a funny thing, judging by your reaction."

"N-No, Weiss. Please, just let it go." Ruby then turned to Yang "You… Just stay quiet, okay?" Then she finally let go of her sister's mouth. There was a wicked smile on Yang's face as her mouth was finally free again.

"Rubles… You still didn't tell them?"

Weiss perked up at the words. "Told us what?"

"Yang, I told you to shut up!"

"Told us what, Ruby?"

At that point, Ruby was shaking with fear and betrayal. She didn't want to risk telling Weiss the truth, but on the other hand it was obvious she would not be able to hold the charade much longer. But maybe, just maybe, when the tournament ends, Winter will go and then it'll be much easier to handle. In her infinite judgment she decided not to tell the truth.

She scratched the back of her head. "Uhh… That you two are the best teammates I could ever ask for?"

Weiss was a little surprised at the lie. If she were honest, it felt good to hear that coming from Ruby. It was still an obvious lie, but it was definitely something she really meant. Ruby was not the kind of person to lie about stuff like that. Might have to do with that gun-obsessed personality she has.

"And what was it really that you haven't told us? I'm not that dense, Ruby," Weiss said, dragging on the painful torture further for Ruby.

Sweating buckets, she shouted "No! Seriously! You're, both, like, amazing teammates, and I couldn't have wished for anyone else, and-and-" Ruby was tripping over her own words at this point trying to avoid the actual point.

"Mmm. I'll believe you then," said Weiss, looking strangely amused. "I mean, we are pretty great, after all."

"AND SO ARE MY BOOBS!" Yang slurred, coming out of nowhere and falling over on Weiss. She then began to laugh uncontrollably, saying "Get it? Like, you know, because I have such amazing boobs and I'm the best big sister in the world and everything, right Ruby?"

"Yang, you, uh… You're really not okay."

Blake Interfered, having enough of the commotion.

"Yang, Ruby, Weiss, that'll be enough. It's 4 AM and all of us need sleep. Need I remind you that three of us still have to fight in the tournament? One of us tomorrow, or rather, today already? Yang, get yourself cleaned up a bit more and then come to bed. You can sleep on mine since you aren't able to climb into yours." And just maybe we could cuddle a bit, even if you're drunk. "Ruby, Weiss, go to bed right now and I don't want to hear another word of it. Did I make myself clear?"

Yang saluted. "Yes, boss! At once, boss!" The other three girls just rolled their eyes at her antics while she was giggling like a madman all the way to the bathroom. Blake, Weiss and Ruby quickly got into their beds and closed their eyes.

Yang returned to the room soon after, dressed only in her bra and panties, yellow of course. She was smirking to herself, vaguely remembering something about Blake telling her to cuddle with her or whatever. All she knew was that Blake wanted her in her bed, and that was enough for the blonde brawler, who, truth be told, had her eyes set on Blake for a while at that point. She just never let it show all that much.

She clumsily tried to sneak up on Blake, completely ignoring the fact she was a cat Faunus and would easily hear her coming. However, as luck would have it, Blake was already fast asleep, so Yang actually managed to sneak closer.

When she was right next to the bed, she snickered and started giggling at the devious idea that was just about to come to life, so to say.

Then, she pounced.

With a loud hiss, Blake jumped up, glaring daggers at her rambunctious teammate. She spoke with a low and threatening voice. "Yang, if you don't give me a good reason why you just did that in the next five seconds, I swear to Dust…"

Yang's playful voice cut her off. "Y'know, since you're a kitty and I'm a human and I wanted to see how it feels when a cat jumps on one's lap and stuff."

Blake stared at her in disbelief, but somehow her brain decided that it was a valid excuse. She smiled. "Fine. Need a cover?"

"Girlfriend, please. I am fire, I don't need no stinkin' blankets! By the way," her voice went down, "you won't need a blanket either." After Blake looked at her half in fear and half in amusement, Yang winked at her partner.

Blake said nothing, just threw the blanket on the floor and motioned for Yang to come closer. Without losing a beat, the blonde snuggled close to Blake, who turned around just enough that Yang could easily spoon her.

"Good night, kitty," she whispered in her ear. Thankfully, she was drunk so she didn't feel Blake shivering slightly after the deed.

"Good night, Yang."

But the blonde apparently wasn't done yet. Her hand started exploring Blake's toned belly and started getting up her torso. When she got a little too close, Blake intervened.

"Yang? What are you doing?"

"Oops," was the only answer she received before Yang removed her hand.

Blake smiled, actually feeling relieved that as drunk as Yang was, she still didn't want to cross the line. However, the cat faunus had a wicked idea.

She turned her head around and whispered, "I didn't tell you to stop, you know?"

Yang giggled like a madman as her hand resumed her journey, soon touching the mound of flesh it barely grazed before. Blake let out a silent moan, which brought her back to reality.

As much as she wanted it, she was also very tired and wanted to have a serious good night's rest. Not to mention her other two teammates were in the room. Granted, they were asleep, but still. It felt a bit wrong to let go of her senses with the two around. Not to mention how guilty she'd feel the next day, since what she was doing was basically using Yang for her own pleasure.

"Okay, now I'm telling you to stop. Ruby and Weiss are still here."

Yang said nothing, just slowly let go of Blake's boob and kissed the nape of her neck before falling asleep.

Uhh... So... That happened. See you next week!
