The jubilee of 20 chapters is on! PARTY! I mean, enjoy.

"No."

"Weiss. Please. I'm begging you. Let me do this."

"I said no. That's final, Ruby."

Ruby slumped down into her chair and sobbed, desk cluttered with various materials and tools. "You're so mean to me! You never let me do anything I want!"

Weiss rolled her eyes, and walked over to the younger girl, draping her arms over Ruby. "Yes I do. I let you go out with Winter whenever you like, I let you and Yang run rampant in the dorm room, I let you get away with not studying on weekdays… but most of all, I let you act like a little kid all of the time."

"Huh?" Ruby's head swung around to face Weiss so quickly, she might have gotten whiplash. "I'm not childish!"

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"And there we are. That's why you're childish."

"Still," Ruby grumbled, "I don't see what this has to do with the Rosy Blizzard." Ruby made a wide gesture to the table which she was sat behind, and to all of the parts scattered upon it. After her fight with Reese, Ruby immediately decided that she had to get a hoverboard of her own, and so had been working on some prototypes all morning. She'd even come up with a name for it, which she was particularly proud of.

"Because hoverboards are stupidly dangerous," replied Weiss, "and I don't want to see you get hurt," she said in a softer tone. Weiss quickly tightened the hug and then released the younger girl from her grip. "Besides, you aren't spending enough time with your dad and uncle. They've come over here to visit you specifically, yet you're burying your head in practice and engineering. Go out with them some more."

"Ok, yeah, but let me make my super-duper-awesome-cool hoverboard first!" shouted Ruby, who spun around on her chair. "Admit it, you totally want a ride on this baby when she's done."

"I heard babies and being done. Ruby, if you're doing what I think you're doing, then stop that right now," came the new voice from the doorway. Ruby fell off of her chair in surprise, with a quick yelp and then the loud clattering of various parts hitting the floor and making a large mess.

"Yang!" Ruby shouted, beet red, "Don't say stuff like that! It's rude!"

Weiss turned on her heel and stared the blonde brawler straight in the eyes. "Not only would I not do such a thing, but I have a question."

"Shoot, she-wolf."

"Don't call me she-wolf. Wouldn't you normally be hanging around with Blake or maybe your father? Why are you pestering us today?"

Yang slid down the door, drawing out her sentence. "Weeelll…" she began, coming to a stop half way down. "I kind of lost her."

"You what?"

"I lost Blake. She disappeared earlier today and I have literally zero idea where she is."

Weiss gathered her thoughts for a second, and then sat down on her bed. "Have you checked the library by any chance? If she's anywhere, it's always the library, and you know that."

Yang waved Weiss off and jumped onto Blake's bed, Ruby's eyes trailing her every move. "Yeah, of course I have. That was the first place I checked. You got any other ideas where she might be? Rubes?"

The trio sat in relative quiet for the next few seconds, before Yang groaned loudly and launched straight from her back onto her feet again. "You guys are so useless, I'm gonna go look for her. Weiss, don't let Ruby do anything stupid. Ruby, don't do anything stupid."

Before Ruby could protest, Yang had already bounded out of the door and down the hallway, embarking on her grand search for the elusive third member of team RWBY.

"I don't do stupid things, do I?"

Weiss turned to her with a completely floored expression. "All the time, Ruby. Literally all the time."

Ruby sobbed once more and fell further into her chair.

"So then she swung round, and decapitated a good dozen beowolves in a single strike, before checking on what I was doing. Of course, besides trying to raise my jaw from the floor after watching her do that, I had just finished manhandling an Ursa after it beat my warhammer too far for me to reach. She looks at me with this gobsmacked expression like, 'Tai, did you seriously just fistfight an Ursa?' and when I nodded her expression was priceless. Man, Qrow, you shoulda seen it."

Qrow put down his small drink and turned to Taiyang, who was nursing a light beer of his own. "The reason I didn't see it was because me and Raven were to busy clearing up your mess, you big idiot."

"You got the job done, right?! That's all that counts! Besides, it was totally badass, and you missed out. Just sayin'."

"Blake!"

No answer.

"Blake, where are you?!"

No answer.

"Dammit Blake, where did you go?!"

No answer.

That was a quick summary of Yang's morning, with a good hour or so of fruitless search. After doing a quick once-over of the library, she checked the combat halls, the cafeteria, the armoury, the workshop, hell, even the firing range. The last one was a stretch considering Blake despised excessively loud noises with a passion.

So she had spent as long as she deemed necessary searching for her partner, shouting and calling her name, looking for the girl who she hoped to spend the rest of the day with. Yang was quickly running out of places to look, even resorting to looking up trees as if she were some stray kitten who had gotten stuck.

Of course, that's nothing like Blake. She's not a kitten, she's way cuter.

She so had to use that line at some point.

"Blaaake!"

"Yang, please, what's with all this shouting?"

Yang looked to her right to find none other than Winter herself, dressed in a lovely new blue dress perfect for the warm summer weather. Her head was tilted, and one eyebrow was raised in question. She figured that Winter had probably come to reprimand her for being so loud, or 'acting like an oaf' or something stupid.

"Yo, Winter, do you want to help me find Blake?" The question was genuine and honest, and Yang reckoned she could use just about all the help she could get at the moment. At no point would Yang be surprised if Winter declined her offer and went to go screw with Weiss and Ruby instead. Literally or figuratively.

"You look like you could use the extra help. It'd be rude of me to turn you down."

Yang was mildly taken aback. "Wowee, since when did you turn into goody-goody two-shoes?"

Winter sent her the Schnee Glare. "Excuse you, I wasn't raised in a cave like your manners indicate you were."

"Ouch. That hurt."

"Good."

Quality bonding time. Can't be beaten.

"So how in the world did you lose your own teammate? Aren't you by her side almost all of the time? I find it odd that she'd manage to escape you like that."

"Is that an insult or a compliment? I can't tell."

"I'll withhold that answer."

"Anyway, I don't think you've seen how ninja-like Blake is, she can disappear in broad daylight if she feels like it, and you'd never notice; ever! I'm not even exaggerating or anything like that, she's the definition of stealth and sneakiness."

"So you, the big blonde brute, are supposed to find this girl any time in the next few years, assuming that she is as good as you say she is?"

Yang slapped her hand over her heart. "Hey! We share a special connection! I've been trying to talk to her telekinetically for the past week or something."

Winter held her hand up. "The word's telepathic."

"Whatever."

"And considering that your semblance is the whole taking hits deal, I don't think that you're capable of it."

"Never know until you try!" Yang sung as she skipped along the path, beginning to call out for Blake again, this time in a more sing-song voice.

Winter hadn't really had much interaction with Ruby's half-sister since her arrival at Beacon, but if she had been taught anything by the girl, it was that appearances were deceiving. Sure, you can always say 'never judge a book by its cover', but there was always the one subconscious part of your brain, making the decision that the person would act a certain way based entirely upon their looks.

This was only partially true for Yang. While she was carefree, much like Winter had figured from their brief interactions, she was also very caring. A motherly figure, if you would. It probably came from the inborn instinct to protect her little sister from whomever would try to drag her down, which Weiss never really seemed to possess. Yang was a sweet person, Winter could at least be sure of that.

"Wait up, you mess of hair!"

Meanwhile, Blake was minding her own business, "reading" away in her favourite corner of the Beacon Academy library. She was thinking about how to behave on her date with Yang. After their first time, when they went for an ice cream, Blake has found herself thinking about the blonde more and more, when she was close to her, her hidden cat ears started twitching and she felt a certain feeling in her stomach that was neither full nor empty. She kept thinking about her wonderful, wavy, if impossible to tame, blonde locks, her mesmerizing purple eyes, her hypnotising and seemingly eternal smile, her amazing bo- let's just stop there. The point is, she was in love.

Which, considering that her semifinal fight was just around the corner, was probably not a good thing. Blake didn't want to lose when she was so close to the big final. She wanted to prove to herself that she was able of going all the way.

That was partly the reason behind her being in the library. She wanted to think of a tactic for her upcoming match. But her thoughts kept wandering back to the sexy blonde she called her partner, making her unable to focus and thus, her book in front of her face was more for show than for actual work, much as she hated to admit.

Her cat ears perked up at the sound of a familiar voice calling for her in the distance. Two voices, actually. After pinpointing the sources of the two voices, she was more than just mildly intrigued.

"Blaaaaaaaake!"

"Blake, where are you? Blaaaaake!"

If one were to see the two girls calling for the third one as if it was some kind of a lost child, they'd probably do a double take. Especially since it looked as if one of the two girls calling was the daughter of none other than Bianca Schnee, the Bianca Schnee and not just some happy-go-lucky girl whose parents had the audacity of naming their kids after some of the most influential people on Remnant.

After the two girls noticed that their calling didn't have any proper effect, they stopped yelling and instead started walking, their heads turning around to pick up any kind of imperfections a cat faunus could have left behind, any clue that would bring them closer to solving the puzzle.

"So," Yang wanted to ease the uncomfortable silence by making small talk, "how do you find Beacon for now?"

Winter sized Yang from top to bottom, making sure she seemed harmless enough in her intention. "It's okay. It was a bit harsh until I got used to it, but right now it's perfectly fine."

"My sister helped you settle in a lot, didn't she?"

Winter blushed. "I… Guess she did." Damn it, Winter, focus! She is not her parent, don't feel scared and confused. She's just trying to be a friend!

After she noticed Yang giving her a smile wider than the road they were walking on, she blushed a deeper shade of crimson. "We didn't do anything… Crass!"

"Well, I wasn't planning on asking, but thanks for letting me know you've been busy with her," Yang winked.

"You… Brute! We didn't do anything except kiss! And… Maybe got a little handsy. But no clothes were taken off!"

"Sure thing, I believe you."

"What about you, darling? You and Blake gotten to second base yet?"

Yang was taken aback. "I… We…"

"What's that? Kitten got your tongue?"

Not yet, but soon, you little twintailed devil. "No. I just… How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Oh, please. It's obvious to the whole world that you two are into each other more than… Well… What I'm trying to say is that from what I've seen, most of Beacon is betting on when you come out as an official couple."

Now it was Yang's turn to blush. I mean, Blake is hot, and she does seem to like me… Screw it, I'm asking her when we find her. Hah. "Screw."

"I guess I do like her a lot…" Yang lost herself for a moment, straying from the path enough to nearly bang her head on a tree that was growing next to the path. 'Nearly' in this case meant surely, if not for a certain white-haired, twin-ponytailed girlfriend of her sister, who noticed where Yang was going at the last possible moment and decided to interfere.

"Thanks, Winter."

"Don't mention it. Anyway, I can give you an advice if you and Blake start dating for real."

Yang waited for a moment, as did Winter. When Yang noticed that the Schnee will not spit it out, she looked her in the eyes. "Well? Don't leave me hanging!"

"You love her that much, do you?", Winter mused. "Well, I happen to know what her favourite… Book series is. If you learn some stuff in there, she'll definitely want to keep you."

"What series? And how do you know that?"

"Let's just say that I got a bit… Carried away and read one of them. It's called Ninjas of Love."

"That's a smut novel, isn't it?"

"Pretty much."

"Makes sense that I could learn some tricks from there then."

They kept walking around campus, occasionally calling Blake once again just in case she was around.

"Winter. Thanks for the tip. Now let me give you one of my own. Weiss most likely already knows this, so I guess it's only fair if you know this as well. Ruby will devour any single little thing with strawberries in it." When she was done, she winked and gave her a playful look, and Winter once again blushed as red as her girlfriend's name.

"You're incredible. I wasn't even thinking of going all the way yet and you give me a tip like that."

"Sooner or later you're bound to do it, might as well know what you're putting yourself into."

"So, just like that, you're fine with it? No threats or anything?"

"Listen, Winter. When Ruby came to me, all scared and jumpy and whatnot and told me she's dating both of you, I could see something in her eyes I haven't seen before. Or at least, not too often. As scared as she was, she was happier than ever. As wrong as it felt to her, it made her happy. Why would I deny happiness to my favourite sister?"

"You only have the one sister."

"Beside the point. You can't not love the little scamp. Know this, though." With that, Yang got close. Very close. "I might be fine with you both dating her. And I know this will sound like a cliché, but if either of you two makes her cry, I won't give two shits about your last names. There will be payback if she gets hurt. She may be my leader and Weiss my teammate and you both her girlfriends, but my first and foremost duty is being a big sister. If you're playing her, you'd better stop now or you will regret it."

Yang was speaking from the heart, Winter could see it. As nonchalant as she tried to appear, she was trembling, dead scared. The words weren't spoken with hatred, but they sounded intimidating. And, with Winter knowing what an angry Yang is capable of doing, she knew that making Ruby miserable would be a huge mistake.

She swallowed hard. "U-Understood. Clear as the sky. Now, please, my personal space?"

Yang moved back, her mouth widened in a huge smile again. "Hah. Sorry if I frightened you. I meant what I said, though. You know what? Let's check the library again. She may have gotten there by now."

Blake kept the façade of being totally engrossed in her book, even as she saw Yang and Winter approach with the corner of her eyes. She couldn't keep on ignoring them when Yang decided to call her name, despite it being a library, which the librarian was sure to reprimand her for immediately, causing Yang to start acting as if her basic freedoms were being taken away, Winter to start rolling her eyes in disbelief and Blake giggling like a schoolgirl behind her book.

Yang that ated as if she didn't just break 20 or so rules was the best, as far as Blake was concerned. She couldn't help but blush at the playful expression as she was trolling the librarian. Winter looked less than amused, though.

"Yes, miss, sorry for disturbing the readers here, now, Yang, let's go and see Blake and will you please shut up already?"

She nearly dragged Yang away. When they sat down across the table from Blake, she slumped and let out a sigh. "You're the worst."

"Aww, you love me," Yang answered, unabashed, for which she received a freezing glare from the younger Schnee. Yang shrugged and turned her attention to Blake.

"Hey, Blake, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"I was here all the time. I've been here since the lunch."

"But… But… I started searching right here. How?"

Winter snapped into a laugh.

"And just what is so funny, Ice… You can't be 'Ice Queen' since that is Weiss… Ice… Ice…"

"Snow White?"

Winter and Yang both looked at Blake, one with a grin as big as her face and the other with a look of disbelief at what she just heard.

"You did not just call me that…"

"Blakey, I'm so proud of you! I knew I was rubbing off on you!" Immediately upon saying that, Yang threw a hand over her mouth. "I did not just say that."

Now it was Blake's turn to be surprised. "Since when do you, Yang Xiao Long, of all people, feel embarrassed about a joke that could be understood sexually?"

"I… Am not embarrassed. Anyway, more pressing matters. Snow White! What was so funny?"

"First of all, don't call me Snow White. Second, I found it funny that you, the great huntress-in-training, possessing a "telepathic connection" with Blake, were in the same room as her and still could not find her. And third, you so are embarrassed by that joke."

"Am not! Anyway, thanks for help, Winter, but can you leave us alone? We have to discuss partner things."

"Suuuuuure, 'partner things'. Whatever. You're welcome. It's been nice getting to know you a bit better."

"Same. Now go, I'm sure Weiss and Ruby are missing you together somewhere," Yang winked. Winter blushed, pouted and then huffed before clicking her heels into the ground and leaving.

"She's cute. I see why Ruby fell for her."

Yang shot an incredulous look at Blake. She was not usually one to say those things out loud. "Wh… I mean, yeah, she kinda is cute. In a very Weiss-y way. Huh?" She made finger guns and pointed them at Blake, who shook her head.

"Dust, Yang. That was horrible."

Yang lay down on the desk in resignation. "This is pretty hard."

"What are the 'partner things' you were talking about earlier?"

Yang shot up immediately. "Well, kitten, I wanted to spend time with my partner, maybe develop some kind of new technique only the two of us would know and could use in battle, you know, stuff like that."

Blake lifted one eyebrow. "I'm not buying it."

"Why?"

"Yang Xiao Long, the one who always runs headfirst into battle, wanting to study techniques? While it's a nice idea and I wouldn't have anything against it, it just sounds too unbelievable."

Yang got a smile pasted across her face. Time to be bold. "Well, I was actually thinking about developing a technique with you, for just the two of us."

"Yes? And that would be?"

Yang rose from her chair, making sure to stretch like a cat that just woke up to give Blake a good look at her assets. Then she gave her a seductive look.

"Yang?"

As if she didn't hear her, she started walking towards Blake. After she finally reached the other side of the desk, she made her put the book that was still held up as if anyone still believed her that she was reading. After that, Yang pushed the desk away a bit, enough so that she could sit on the desk and put her legs on Blake's armrests, effectively trapping her in her chair.

"You know, Blake," she started. "When we were on that ice cream date, there was really only one thought that went through my mind. I tried to not think about it, but it was impossible. And when we were walking towards Beacon, the thought still didn't go away. I guess I was afraid to think on it. But now I think I'm ready to act on that thought. You know, it hasn't left me since then. But now I'm not afraid anymore. I am, however nervous."

Blake was watching her, blushing profusely. She is so seductive like this. "N-Nervous?"

Yang's purple eyes lighted up a bit. "Yes. Nervous. Because I'm not sure if you'll be mad about it or not."

"Yang, we have differing opinions on some things. I'm not sure what you're talking about right now, though, so I can't say if I would be mad." I know exactly what you're talking about. I want it too, can't you see? Just do it already!

Yang was contemplating her next move. Should I just go for it? Should I make her do it herself? Is it right to play her like that? Am I even ready for it? For all her flamboyance and boasting, Yang Xiao Long was pretty inexperienced when it came to romance.

"What if you're just saying that to make me do something I'll regret, though? I'm pretty sure it's what I want to do, but…"

For Dust's sake, Yang, just kiss me already!

Yang kept on rambling. "And then you'll be angry with me and our partnership will deteriorate and that will upset Ruby and- hmmmm."

Whatever it was she was trying to say was unable to leave her mouth as she found the mouth occupied by Blake's. The cat faunus grew tired of her incessant babbling that was completely unlike her and rose from her seat to capture Yang's lips with her own. Blake is kissing me! Quick, Yang, ease into it.

The blonde wrapped her hands around Blake's neck while the black-haired girl returned the embrace by putting her hands on Yang's sides. Neither of them wanted to break the embrace or the kiss and eventually, their mouths opened so that the tongues could get into play.

A battle for domination ensued. While it may have been Blake who initiated the kiss, that never meant she would be in charge of it. Not when Yang was full of newfound energy the kiss gave her.

In the end they had to part for the simple fact that they lacked air to properly breathe. When they caught their breaths they looked each other in the eyes, just gazing.

"So… We're official now?", Yang asked. Blake just nodded. Then they heard a voice from behind Yang.

"Finally! Took you long enough!"

Startled, they looked in the direction the voice came from. They found that it was a student explaining some Grimm Studies stuff to his two friends at a table. Or at least, that was what the girls saw and decided to believe before they started almost uncontrollably giggling.

Woo, Bumblebee is official! Shippers rejoice! *cheers of BB shippers in the distance* That was the twentieth chapter! Hope you enjoyed.

Also, "Guest", thank you for returning and apparently completely misunderstanding what we were trying to tell you. It's not that you got under my skin, just that if you can't be bothered to make an account on here, I don't consider your review to be of any use. So, while your opinion may be valid and understandable, it isn't worth anything to me unless you're man/woman enough to post it under an account here. Still thank you for the review though.

And Jack, being his usual self, kindly asked you to do what I wrote if you want to get acknowledged ("kindly" in his dictionary isn't the same as in everyone else's though, just a warning).
