Team RWBY's dorm room was mostly silent as all those present were focused on various projects. Yang was, momentously enough, working on a research paper while sitting cross-legged on her bed, back against the wall. The blonde's tongue was stuck between her teeth in concentration, an act that fairly well cemented her status as Ruby's sibling. Her girlfriend, Weiss, was seated at her desk, posture upright and head tilted ever so slightly. The heiress' pencil scraped across the page as she completed an essay for Professor Peach's class.

Ruby and Blake were seated in the middle of the floor, side by side, as they did some weapon's maintenance. Crescent Rose required an inordinate amount of care and attention in between uses, so very many moving parts, gears and actuators that had to work seamlessly when the brunette needed them to. The Cat Faunus worked on Gambol Shroud less frequently, but as it had been awhile she'd decided to join her girlfriend on the floor.

The third member of their relationship was seated on the bed across the room from Yang, idly reading from a textbook. Or rather, re-reading, as she'd gotten ahead of the rest of the class several weeks ago by accident, and was now simply refreshing her memory.

Pyrrha took in the calm of the room. Normally she'd be the first to relax and enjoy such serenity, but lately a certain brunette had been rubbing off on her.

To put it quite frankly, fluffy fox was feeling a mite mischievous and wanted to play.

A small grin crossed her face before she stilled herself into neutrality once more. Out of the corner of her eye she waited for Ruby to put her tightening tool down before she wiggled her fingers, causing said tool to drift behind the petite girl's back. The aluminum tube of lubricating gel in Blake's hands had barely touched the ground before it rolled subtly under the Cat Faunus' knee.

The redhead worked very hard to keep the smirk from her face as each girl put their hand down for the item they'd just left, only to feel around in puzzlement. It didn't take long for them to find the items, and with almost identical shrugs they went back to work.

She waited another few moments, this time switching the tiny crescent wrench of Ruby's with a long bolt of Blake's.

"Kitty cat, have you seen my- Oh. Why do you have my tool?" Ruby blinked her eyes in confusion as she gazed at the small wrench by Blake's side.

"Oh, I don't know… Wait, where'd the bolt go?"

"What, you mean this?"

"Yes, thank you, but how did it…"

Two sets of eyes, amber and silver, slowly swiveled to rest on the figure of Pyrrha, who was quite unsuccessfully hiding her mirth by using her textbook as a shield.

"Fluffy fox!" Ruby cried, sounding quite indignant.

"Yes?" she chortled, refusing to look them in the eyes.

"I can't believe you!"

"Whatever do you mean, little rose?"

"Don't even try it, your aura has guilt written all over it!"

"You must be mistaken, all I feel right now is an inordinate amount of amusement."

Blake snorted softly. "This is revenge for leaving you outside of class yesterday, isn't it?"

"Why, no, kitty cat," Pyrrha smirked, finally looking at them with her emerald eyes dancing merrily. "I mean, if I were to stoop so low as to carry out revenge, perhaps I might find myself in such a position. But I am merely sitting here and reading my book, nothing more."

By now both Yang and Weiss' shoulders were shaking with quiet laughter as the redhead's girlfriends just shook their heads.

"Besides which, the two of you look absolutely adorable when you get confused," Pyrrha added, smirk still firmly in place as she raised the book back upright.

"Pyrrha," the brunette began solemnly. "We are both very, sincerely sorry for… er…"

"Taking such liberties?" Blake supplied helpfully.

"Yeah, that'll work. For taking such liberties and leaving you hanging yesterday."

Yang snorted out a quick laugh. "Blue Bean," she snickered, earning her a glare from her sister and her partner.

"Anyways, would you kindly accept our apology and stop screwing with us?"

Pyrrha looked up once more, grinning widely. "Very well, I accept your apology."

"Thank you."

All five girls returned to their previous activities, at least for another minute or so.

However, I never said I would stop.

Several heartbeats later, a fierce and exasperated cry sounded, followed by several people's uproarious laughter.

"Dust-damn-it-all, Pyrrha!"

A/N: Props to yosai for the idea of Pyrrha using her semblance to mess with her girlfriends, simply because she finds it so cute when they're flustered. See, fluffy fox can hold her own just fine.

So, another short chapter to end this week. In update news, I am off to the beach all of next week. There's a good chance I might not get anything posted, but rest assured I will be writing diligently as my preferred form of relaxation while sitting on the back porch, sipping margaritas. Might even get a chapter for Pearls done while there, wouldn't that be cool?

And then last night I posted up my newest project, a crossover fic between RWBY and the video game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Some lovely and bloody vamp goodness ahead of us… Check it out on my page, it's called Blood of the Rose. This fic will contain no shipping, hardly any fluff, lots of angst, visceral violence, and quite a bit of poor, awkward Ruby as she adjusts to her unlife. Always wanted to do a vampire!Ruby… but of course I can't do it in a normal fashion…

Hugs for my reviewers, see you in a week or so! (Also, my apologies for hardly responding to anyone, it's been crazy trying to get ready for my vacation!) RedWing36, THB4, Gorsouul, Nicodemus Cain, kaiju62, DeamonHunter, ILikeHotDogs, Jack Inqu, Boombox94.

Stay shiny!
