"I'm starting to think Yang might've been right after all!" Ruby yelled as she shielded her eyes from the stinging rain. She and the Lieutenant had barely walked ten feet outside when the wind gust picked up nearly tenfold. The girl had nearly been blown off her feet if not for the big guy grabbing hold of her cape at the last moment on more than a few instances. Now the two of them slowly made their way to the bright pink doghouse being battered by leaves and other debris.

"We must keep going!" the Lieutenant replied, "Adam is counting on me!"

A crack of lightning scared nearly scared Ruby out of her dress. She leaped up onto the Lieutenant's back like a koala on a tree, unaware that her hands covered the two small slits in his mask. The big guy shrieked as he began spinning around blindly.

"I can't see! I can't see!"

Ruby kicked her heels into his side in an effort to steer him in the right direction. "Quick! Go left! We're almost there!"

The two-person tower wobbled their way across the lawn, nearly being blown over twice before the Lieutenant slammed his waist into the side of the tiny hut. Upon collision, Ruby was flung off his back and landed on the soggy grass.

"You okay?" she asked the dizzy Lieutenant who had bent down out of sight.

"BLEARGH!"

"I'm guessing that's a no."

Hoping the big guy had at least taken his mask off before vomiting, Ruby crawled over to the little door of the doghouse and lifted it open-

"AIEE!" she yelped upon seeing the pale, muddy butt of Adam Taurus in her face, "Why is Adam naked?!"

Clearing his throat, the Lieutenant popped his head around the hut's side. "Well, you see I figured it would get pretty hot for him in there, so I just took all his clothes off. It was easier than having to bring and change him into a new outfit every day."

"But he's butt naked!"

"And?"

"I don't think you just do that to unconscious people without them knowing!"

"What should I have done then?"

"I-I don't know! I'm a Huntress, not a doctor!"

"Either way, we got to take him inside-

"He needs clothes first!"

"Oh. Yeah, I guess you're right." At that, the Lieutenant began undoing his belt much to Ruby's horror.

"What the heck are you doing?!" she said, pulling her hood completely over her face.

"What's it look like I'm doing? Just giving him my clothes."

"Not in front of me though!"

"What? I'm wearing underwear today, no biggie."

"Shouldn't you always wear them?"

"Not on Sundays."

His tighty-whities in the open for all to see, the Lieutenant bent over into the doghouse with his pants in hand as he slid them onto Adam as if he was dressing a doll. Tying his belt around his waist, he pulled Taurus's body out and threw it over his shoulder as lightning cracked behind him, striking a dramatic pose.

"Now... let's go save the day."

"If you were wearing pants that would have looked a whole lot cooler," Ruby said, "The lightning behind you was awesome. Undies ruined it."

"Aw, man. I was hoping the lightning would've made up for that part."

"Eh. Still about a 7/10 on the cool chart."

"Good enough for me."

The rain poured down the tall hallway window. Pyrrha leaned on the side of the wall watching it flow down. Her nerves had gotten the best of her, preventing her from falling asleep.

Well, not just that.

When Pyrrha had stepped into her room and say Jaune curled up in his bed, she slammed the door shut and turned away. She had made a plan of sorts when she had washed up again in the bathroom of what she was going to do, but actually going through with it suddenly felt much more difficult.

Perhaps she was better off joining Ren and Nora on the couch. Besides, Jaune looked so comfortable in there alone without someone to disturb his slumber. She would only be a bother anyways.

She walked past the door to her room, pausing when she heard Jaune yawn from inside. She turned back to the window as lightning cracked outside. Ruby and the Lieutenant had been brave enough to go out into that storm and risk their health to help Adam and try and get power back to the house, and here she was struggling to show her feelings to someone she knew cared about her already, though not in the same way she did or him.

Something about that made her feel selfish, ashamed for not being as strong as she had been raised to be. And she was going to have none of it.

Biting her bottom lip, Pyrrha made her decision and turned back around. She put her hand on the doorknob, turning it slowly as she gently opened the door and slipped inside.

"So, what do you guys wanna play?"

Yang, Weiss, Blake, Neo, and Sun looked over the many boxes of games they had pulled out of the closet, having spread them across the floor in front of the movie screen. There was a variety of titles to choose from: Conquering Remnant, Monopolization, Apologies, and even the classic Taijitus and Ladders. With a short battery time on the lamps Sun had brought down, they only had time for one or two games at the least.

"How about Monopolization?" Yang suggested, elbowing Weiss in the shoulder, "You'd enjoy that one wouldn't ya Weiss?"

"Ha-ha. Very funny," the heiress retorted, not impressed by her teammate's jab, "Conquering Remnant looks fun."

"Nah, not that one," Sun shook his head, "Too many rules for me."

"Then we'll play something simple enough for you," Weiss knelt over, moving the boxes around, "Here. We'll play Connect Five then."

"I said simple, not for babies."

"You wanted to come down here, right? Then pick a game you monkey."

"Careful there, you almost triggered me."

"Just pick!"

As Wukong looked over the games, Blake leaned over towards Yang and whispered in her ear. "Hey, you remember that thing we talked about?"

"Oh my, Blake!" Yang smiled slyly, "Our friends are around. You really want them to hear about-

"No, not that… The other thing."

The blonde took a second to think.

"Oh! You mean that thing."

"I don't think we'll have a better time than now to do it."

"You said it."

"Said what?" Weiss had noticed them mumbling to each other, and leaned in. A curious Neo indiscreetly wandered over to find out as well, rather not expressing her interest so openly. An ecstatic Yang whispered into both of their ears as Sun stood back up with a box in his hand.

"Got one!" the monkey held up the rectangle for the girls to see, "Super Surgeon was always my favorite back home... Uh, why are you all smiling like that?"

The four girls giggled at his obliviousness. Yang stepped forward to explain. "Remember back when you wanted me and Blake to 'act lesbian' with each other?"

Sun felt that sinking feeling in his stomach again.

"Uh yeah… What about it?"

"And remember when we said you'd have to do something for us in return?"

"Oh no."

"Oh yes," Yang threw her arm over his shoulder, pointing at the box with one finger, "So, you wanna play this game, huh? Don't you have to pick out the little bones and stuff without touching the sides?"

Wukong shook his head nervously.

"So, there's ten pieces to remove… How many pieces of clothing are you wearing?"

Blake's cat ears almost popped out from under her bow at that. What was Yang talking about?! This wasn't part of their plan! Sun was going to have to sing a musical number for the entire house, not whatever she was getting at! The blonde gave her a knowing wink, as if she thought Blake would want this.

Well, she wouldn't be one to object to a stripping Sun but this was just too indecent!

"Please tell me you're not thinking what I think you're thinking," Sun pleaded.

"Oh, I think I am," Yang grinned, "Every time you hit a side and make the board buzz, you have to take off a piece of your clothing until you can't."

"Can't as in?"

"Completely nude, buddy."

A red-faced Blake looked as if she was going to exhaust steam from her ears. Weiss and Neo just stood there snickering, letting their sadistic sides take over at Sun's embarrassment.

"Why should I even agree to this?" Sun asked.

Yang laughed heartily, slapping him on the back. "Oh, don't worry. You can still benefit from this. If you manage to get out all of those pieces without stripping completely naked, then me, Blake, Weiss, and Neo will take off all our clothes instead. And if we try and cheat, we'll lose on the spot. How's that sound?"

Now that changed Weiss and Neo's feelings towards this, and nearly made Blake topple over. The Ice Queen stepped forward to voice her disapproval. "Now hold on! I know the first part wasn't part of our plan, but this is going too far!"

"Oh, don't worry! Yang said, joining the girls again, "There's no way Sun will be able to keep a steady hand thinking about our hot bods! Ain't that right, monkey boy?"

Wukong was nearly as red in the face as Blake now. No matter what, someone was getting naked down here. He looked down at himself; he was wearing his over shirt, pants, slippers, and boxers. There were ten pieces to remove, and five chances to screw up. Taking a breath, he calmed himself and gave the girls a slick smile.

"Damn straight. Now let's get this started!"

As Sun began unpacking the game, Yang gulped as she realized she may have been a bit too confident when making her deal. She felt three icy stares piercing through her, and began praying that those lamp would somehow go black and end this game night early.
