The bottle kept spinning for a long time. Yang had pushed it really hard for some reason. Everyone glared at her, because it didn't seem intent on stopping anytime soon. She looked at them sheepishly, but Yang knew none of them would stop the bottle. That would ruin the randomness. So they waited.

After about a minute, the bottle stopped. It split between Nora and Ren, but it was still pointing at someone. Wait… hang on a minute. Who the heck is that guy? Yang jumped up in surprise. She pointed her gauntlets at the man, not taking her eyes off of him. Everyone sprung to attention, focusing on the stranger before them.

Yang growled. "Who are you and what do you want? And don't think about being smart, or I'll just fire once and be done."

The man smiled. He was very different looking to them. The girls all took a sharp breath when they got a good look at him. He was...well… gorgeous.

He was young. That was easy to tell. How young, Yang wasn't sure. He had a face that could have made him fifteen or twenty-five. He was tall, definitely taller than Jaune or herself. He seemed to have long arms with big hands, fitting his tall frame. His hair was brown, visible slightly under a fedora he wore. The man certainly had class. Along with the fedora, he had a navy blue striped suit with a white undershirt and a blue tie. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses, covering his eyes. He looked at Blake, and for a second he leaned over to wink at her, revealing his deep brown eyes.

He spoke to them finally, with a commanding, smooth deep voice. "Well, it's great to finally meet you all. While I do have a real name, that isn't important. For now, you can call me… The Author."

Everyone gasped. Jaune looked like a teenage girl meeting any of the Achieve Men. He shrieked. "You're datAHguy!?"

The Author sighed. "Yes, that is my pen name. Feel free to call me either."

Nora was really excited. "It's an honor to finally meet the person who is making us do everything in this world! Even what we're doing right now!"

He grimaced. "Yes well, I made it so you said that, even though it really breaks the fourth wall. That's even what I'm doing right now. It's confusing."

Pyrrha looked very confused. "But umm… Mister Author, I thought you said in the last chapter there would be no author's note disguised in the stories, because of how they worked."

The Author got an evil smile on his face. "Yes well, things can change. I happen to come up with this idea while I was in the shower, almost right after writing Chapter 7. Funny thing, as I was coming up with this idea. I was standing there, writing these very words in my head. I was imagining writing about me writing about imagining writing these words!"

He grinned as he watched Nora try to follow that on her fingers, eventually giving up and holding her head in pain.

Weiss furrowed her brow. "So, Mister Author, why are you here exactly in this note. Do you actually have anything of value to say?" They all nodded.

He thought for a second, and then snapped his fingers. "Ah, yes! I actually do. I wanted to ask a favor from the audience. I have noticed an odd trend in the viewcount, with Chapter 1 having the most consistently, and some others having less. I would just like some more reviews on the chapters, as I am really unsure of how people felt about some. It's not a big deal, just something that has been bugging me.

Also, I have mentioned this before, and I will reaffirm this, feel free to send in your ideas for what I can do with the story. In fact, leave a review suggesting with pair of stories I should have in the next part. I have the ideas, but you can pick which characters you want to see! I know this is a little late, but, go ahead anyways! I currently actually planned ahead for about five more chapters, and am trying to come up with a Christmas themed one, so it wouldn't appear for a while, but feel free to anyways. Its funny, because my ideas for chapters usually come in a whim off of one simple thing within the chapter, even so much as wanting to incorporate a reference somehow.

Lastly, I will say my description of this character was a little… generous. While a majority of it is accurate, as I am on the taller side and have a deep voice that would be great in movie trailers and such, I wouldn't describe myself as gorgeous. But this is my story so I can do what I want. This character won't appear anywhere else (maybe) except for in notes, so I feel that I'm not breaking the no non-fiction characters rule. This is important."

Everyone seemed fine with that answer except for Yang, who still had her gauntlets up. She wouldn't stop glaring at the Author.

"I have one question for you Mister Author. Why do you keep putting me in these dang things!"

The Author laughed. "Well Yang, you are my favorite character." She paused and everyone looked at her jealously. She looked a little nervous.

"Wha… What…?"

"Well, Yang. This story was originally supposed to be a first person from your point of view, but that was harder and I didn't like how it was going so I scraped that. Have you noticed how the stories reflect a lot around you? Of course I would put you in these."

Yang looked at the floor. "I guess…"

The Author waved her off. "Of course, you understand. Well, I really must be off. I have a story to finish. In fact, I think it's about time I return you impatient readers to that very story!"

The bottle kept spinning for a long time. Yang had pushed it really hard for some reason. Everyone glared at her, because it didn't seem intent on stopping anytime soon. She looked at them sheepishly, but Yang knew none of them would stop the bottle. That would ruin the randomness. So they waited.

After about a minute, the bottle stopped. It had landed on… Ren. So he would be telling the story about… Well, they would find out soon enough. Yang spun the bottle, gentler this time, and it finally stopped, facing… Nora. Nora looked confident at first, but Ren's fierce smile made her worried.

Ren spent all his time with her, through her ups and downs, and saw everything. He helped

her get out of every bad situation she got herself into, no matter how embarrassing. This was the time to let a couple of other people in on these stories.

"Well everyone. In my time being friends with Nora, I have picked up on a couple of funny things that she had done. With that much energy and a love for sweets, mostly pancakes and syrup, that almost rivals Ruby's, she is bound to have done something silly, right? Let me tell you about the thing I like to call the Syrup Incident!"

Ren was having a slow day. Jaune and Pyrrha were off on some mission, so Nora and Ren were left behind at Beacon. They had no classes for the day, so Ren had been in his room, meditating. Oddly enough, Nora wasn't present in the room. She had not bothered him during his meditation, which had been wonderful, but if she wasn't around Ren, who knows what kind of trouble she could have gotten in to.

Ren actually started to get worried. Nora always returned to Ren, no matter what she did. She had been gone for several hours at this point, and had not returned. That could never be good news.

Sighing, Ren got up from his bed. He vaguely remembered her shouting something about breakfast and syrup before dashing out the room. Ren decided the cafeteria would be a great place to start his investigation.

When he got there, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He went over to their usual table, with nothing being weird there either. But, he did notice something weird. There was a half eaten plate of pancakes with a trail of syrup leading away from the table. Curious, Ren began to follow the trail.

It led him outside, across the courtyard. He did note that it seemed like Nora had been swinging her hammer, as some trees had been forcefully knocked over. Nora must have had too much syrup. That began to worry Ren. He picked up his pace.

He saw some craters, and figured that she had been also using her grenade launcher. Uh oh. He needed to find the girl before they got in serious trouble. The trail of syrup had disappeared a ways back, but all Ren had to do was follow the trail of destruction.

Nora must have been confronted, because as he walked back towards the school, he saw many students hanging from the clothing in the trees that were standing. Ren didn't bother to help them. He hoped to stop the chaos at its source first.

He entered the school, and saw something that made him laugh. Team CRDL was being carried off to the infirmary. They all looked like they had bad injuries, but Cardin was… well let's just say Nora had kept true to her idea and his legs… yeah. That would take a while to heal.

Ren kept going. The trail of destruction had died down, but oddly the syrup was back. That seemed weird. Either Nora had found more syrup, or had been carrying her own bottle. That didn't surprise Ren. Nora loved syrup almost as much as Ruby loved cookies.

Somehow, the trail led him back to the cafeteria, which didn't make any sense. That trail wasn't there before, and there is no way he wouldn't have heard or seen what Nora had been up to. Maybe Ren hadn't actually been that observant.

This trail, however, led into the kitchen. Ren looked around to see if no one was looking, and he ducked inside. The trail seemed to lead into the pantry, where most of the food was kept. Ren began to get worried. If she had raided the food supply, they would be in a lot of trouble.

He opened to door, expecting the worst. But, what Ren saw was very different from what he expected. The place was slightly raided, with empty boxes and packets of food on the ground, but nearly as many as Ren expected. The only thing he expected was the many empty bottles of syrup strewn across the room. The sole occupant of the room seemed to be in a bit of a 'sticky' situation.

Nora was currently lying on the ground, facing the ceiling. She was completely covered in syrup, with it dripping off of her onto the floor. Ren guessed he hadn't seen the trail before, because Nora seemed to be asleep. She must have been there for a while, which led to her problem. The syrup was sticking her to the floor. For the moment, she was stuck. Ren chuckled. Only Nora would get stuck to the floor like that.

At the sound of his laughter, Nora woke up. She tried to move and found she couldn't. She didn't seem to care, though, because she beamed at Ren as if nothing had happened.

"Hiya Ren!" She was still as cheerful as ever.

Ren rolled his eyes. With all the syrup Nora had consumed, she probably blanked out on what had gone on during the day.

"So Ren, what'cha up too?"

He sighed. "Well Nora, I was looking for you, but I guess I found you."

She looked confused for a second. "Wait, where are we?" She looked around.

"Oh no." She began to remember what happened. "Are we in the pantry?"

Ren nodded. "Yes Nora, we are. You may have had too much syrup at breakfast. Now you have a bit of a predicament on your hands."

She really started trying to get up, but the syrup was too much for her. She looked up at Ren with pleading eyes. He originally had plans to leave her, let her deal with the punishment. But those eyes. His resolve started to break. He started to cringe.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease Ren?" She put all her effort into her puppy dog face.

Ren looked down at her. Nora wasn't the type to deal with punishment well. Also, if Ren left her here, so would not be happy with him. And a hyperactive Nora was a lot better than an angry Nora. He glanced away for a second. He figured he had to save her. But how was he going to get all the syrup off?

He sighed again. "Alright Nora, I'll help you. But you owe me, big time."

She giggled. "Of course Ren!" Her expression shifted to embarrassment, which was rare for Nora. That surprised him.

"Just don't tell anyone."

He smiled. "I can't guarantee that."

He walked over and began to help Nora out of her mess.

Nora seemed mad at Ren, but there was nothing she could do. That was the rules of the game. He was smirking, finally getting her back for getting him involved in that mess. They had to deal with all the damage and the angry students later, but it had all turned out fine in the end.

Ruby and Yang were laughing heavily at her being stuck on the floor. Blake was smiling at the sisters reaction. Pyrrha and Jaune were giggling as well, finding it funny that they hadn't heard that before, and they wished they could have been there to see it. Weiss was simply rolling her eyes. She had seen the destruction that day, and had been almost thrown into a tree as well, until Nora saw it was her.

Once Yang stopped laughing, she sat up and spun the bottle again. It spun around and around and landed on… Ruby. She looked even more pale than her sister. She did a lot of embarrassing thing in her time at Beacon, and everyone in this room was always around.

Yang looked happy, as her sister would be getting what she deserved. She spun the bottle once more. Yang felt like she was going to explode from happiness when the bottle landed on her. Ruby looked mortified.

"Oh yes, my dearest sister Ruby, sweet revenge is about to be served. Hmm… but what should I talk about. The time you tried eating a cookie shaped pillow? No. How about the time you got stuck in the pet door at your friend's house? Nope, doesn't seem for a good story. Or the time…" She was interrupted by Ruby yelling at her.

"Yang! We get it already! Just pick a story and tell it!" Her face was red from embarrassment, and everyone was giggling at the two things Yang had just said. They would have to hear those stories later. Yang had an evil grin on her face.

"Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. Have some patience. However, Ren's story about Nora does bring up a recent memory that is pretty funny. Blake and Weiss will remember this pretty well. How about the time that Ruby got into the sweets stash Weiss had hidden on went on her 'Sugar Rush'?"

Yang was annoyed. They had nothing to do. They had only one class that day, and since it was over, they had the rest of the day off. Of course, Weiss didn't want to anything. Weiss never wanted to do anything. Ruby was off doing something with the other team leaders. And Blake was reading. When wasn't she reading?

Yang would have gone to the training area to punch her frustrations out, but she had been banned for a week after accidentally trashing the place. She hadn't meant to, but it had been a rough day and the dummies were looking at her funny. It wasn't her fault she slipped and shot off parts of the wall and ceiling. Well, it might have been.

She paced around the room, thinking on what they could have done. Yang couldn't think of anything, though. This was definitely wrong, as she was supposed to be the fun idea extraordinaire! Yang was beginning to get angry with her lack of group ideas. Then she thought of a way to fix it.

Yang was very much a troublemaker, and everyone knew that. She was mischievous and could be very cunning in her evil plans. She decided to get some revenge on Weiss for being boring, and Ruby for not being there.

Yang and Blake both knew something Ruby didn't. They had recently got a large gift of candy and cookies and a bunch of other sugary goodies. Weiss had hidden them before Ruby found out, fearing the worst if Ruby knew.

Yang, of course, understood how Ruby would act if she got to that stash. It could potentially be really bad. But it was worth it, as it would be a very funny story to tell later. When Weiss wasn't looking, Yang wrote the location of the sweets on a piece of paper, and at the end wrote 'You'll thank me later'. She put the paper on Ruby's bed, and eagerly awaited her sister's return.

When Ruby finally got back, she looked exhausted. Yang wasn't sure what they did in those meetings, but it must have been a lot of arguing of something, because Ruby looked like she didn't want to be involved with people right now. The perfect situation. She hopped up onto her bed, where she saw the note. She read it for a second and looked at Yang. Yang winked, and Ruby immediately left the room.

Weiss looked up at her for a second, raising her eyebrow. She didn't seem to care that much, though, because she went back to writing a paper for Professor Oobleck. Blake didn't even notice. Yang sat there, and waited some more.

After about twenty minutes, the door slammed open, startling the other two. Yang just smiled. Ruby strolled in, looking like she was about to fall over. She had a stupid grin on her face, and she had to use the wall as support to not fall.

Weiss gasped. "Ruby… are… are you drunk?"

Yang could have left, let them deal with it. But she wanted to see it herself. She tried as hard as she could not to laugh. Yang didn't want the other two knowing it was her fault.

Ruby shook her head, almost stumbling over. "Nope, nopity nope! Definitely not drunk." She giggled, hiccupping.

Weiss glared at her. "Then what is wrong with you!"

Ruby walked over to her, laughing as she pulled the ice princess into a hug, falling onto her bed. Weiss struggled, but as incoherent as their leader was, she was determined to hold onto Weiss.

"Weisssssss… there's nothin' wrong with meeee… and you know that!" She was slurring her words. Yang was dying of laughter on the inside. She really did look and sound drunk.

Weiss finally managed to get Ruby off of her. Ruby turned around and saw Blake, who was trying to stay out of the situation. The look of wonder on Ruby's eyes were as if she hadn't seen Blake in months.

"Blakey! Ish' so good to shee you!" She tackled Blake into another hug. Blake looked really annoyed. It seemed like Blake was doing all she could not to hurt Ruby.

Ruby pushed Blake onto the bed and straddled her hips, staring into her eyes. Blake was really uncomfortable with this, and Yang could tell. She was blushing profusely. Yang started to giggle quietly.

Ruby started talking. "So waat are you up to, Blakey?" She laughed again for no reason.

Blake glared at her. "I was reading a book, before you interrupted us."

Ruby didn't take the hint. She leaned in and smelled Blake's hair, making Blake blush even more. Ruby put her face right over Blake's.

"You smell nice."

Blake took a deep sniff. A confused look came over her face.

"Ruby, why does your breath smell like… sweets?"

Yang smothered her head into her pillow to quiet her laughing. She couldn't hold it in, but she didn't want anyone to hear.

Ruby looked up, pondering that question. This allowed Blake to push her off. Ruby stumbled into the middle of the room. Weiss was still glaring at her, expecting an answer.

"Weeeeeeeell, I may have found a secret stash of… of… those tings you just said. And… uh… I may have eaten all of em'!" She giggled uncontrollably and fell over.

Weiss gasped. Ruby had found that stash and eaten all of the sweets she had stored. This couldn't be good. At least she found out that if Ruby ate too much sugar, she acted drunk.

Weiss shook Ruby a couple of times. "How did you find it Ruby!?"

Ruby eyes were spinning in her head. That must have made her dizzy. She finally focused on Weiss and beamed.

"I have no idea!" She stood up and started to do a silly dance.

Weiss was getting really annoyed, but she heard some muffled laughter from the bunk behind her. She looked up and saw what looked like Yang suffocating herself in her pillow. That was the source of the laughter.

Weiss put two and two together. Obviously, Yang knew how Ruby would act if she had too many sweets. Yang must have tipped off Ruby somehow, but Yang would deny it and Ruby had no idea. She searched around the red girl's bunk and found a note in Yang's handwriting detailing the location of the stash.

Before Weiss could scream at Yang, Ruby had tackled her again. She was lying down on the bed, with Ruby staring at her, a concerned look on the leader's face.

Ruby finally spoke. "Weiss… You know… you really are beauuuutiful!"

Weiss blushed. Ruby was being irrational. She didn't really mean that, did she? No, of course not. Weiss pushed Ruby off and marched over to the other two's bunk. She grabbed Yang and pulled her off the bed. The blonde fell to the floor with a surprised yelp, but she quickly got up, a huge grin on her face. Before Weiss could say anything, Yang sprinted out the door.

Weiss became furious. She chased after Yang screaming for her to come back and take her punishment. Blake was left alone with Ruby in their room. Blake started to get nervous, because Ruby was slowing making her way towards the other girl, taking about one step every five seconds. Blake started edging further away from her leader, but she was picking up speed. Just before Ruby got to Blake, she collapsed.

Blake shrieked in surprise, but she checked Ruby's pulse, which was fine. She must have just passed out. Blake picked up the smaller girl and put Ruby on Weiss's bunk. Yang was the only one strong enough to lift anyone to the upper bunks. Blake sighed and went back to her book, glad to not have to deal with anymore trouble. She could occasionally hear Weiss yelling and Yang laughing, but she ignored them. If Ruby stayed asleep, the rest of the day wouldn't be so bad for Blake.

Jaune couldn't handle it anymore. He was trying not to laugh too much for Ruby's sake, but they way Yang described Ruby while she was 'Sugar High' was too funny. He burst out laughing, falling out of his chair. Pyrrha and Nora joined him soon after, not falling over but laughing out loud. Ren was grinning, winking at Yang as if to say he understood.

Yang was laughing because she had gotten the most entertainment from that situation. Blake, despite being on the receiving end of some of Ruby's antics, was smiling. When she thought back on the incident, it was actually pretty funny.

The only one not entertained was Weiss. She was glaring at Ruby, who had her head down and was blushing. That had not been a fun time for Weiss, and remembering it made her mad all over again. Ruby just wanted to melt away from the room.

When Yang was done laughing, she sat up straight and cleared her throat.

"Alright, I guess that now would be a good time to start the next round."

And so she spun the bottle.
