Pyrrha felt her heart snap as she looked down at the broken piece of metal she was holding.

At one point, they'd been very recognizable pieces of metal; in fact, one might say iconic. At the very least iconic to everyone in her year, as the unmistakable High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe that belonged to her girlfriend.

I broke Crescent Rose.

Oh no.

This is bad, this is very VERY bad! Ruby loves Crescent Rose more than anything and I broke it! Pyrrha could feel tears start to well up in her eyes as she found herself frozen in place, unable to do anything. I… I just wanted to give it some upgrades. One of the many perks of being a celebrity was the fact that Pyrrha had access to several modifications from certain companies that sponsored her, well before they were released to the public.

…such as the one that Ruby had been all but drooling over for the past month. Pyrrha had been hoping she could install it on Crescent Rose and have it be a nice surprise for her girlfriend when she got back to the dorm with her team.

At first, Pyrrha thought it was going to be easy; after all, these things come with instructions right? Turns out it wasn't the case for this particular modification. In fact, it had just been in a protective bubble wrapped case with no helpful handbook of any kind. No matter, Pyrrha had seen her girlfriend disassemble Crescent Rose enough times to know how to do it – she could figure out where it went.

In all fairness, Pyrrha had felt more than a bit uncomfortable handling Crescent Rose; it was a form of trust that Ruby had let her have access to her locker. I'm not abusing her trust! I'm just… giving her a gift. Pyrrha couldn't wait to see the glee on Ruby's face. It was with that image in mind that Pyrrha had disassembled the weapon, replacing placing the new folding mechanism into the blade head of the scythe. All was going well… until the pieces didn't fit back together.

Pyrrha's first notion was that perhaps she had reassembled it wrong, that if she disassembled it again, and redid it, it'd be fine… only for a different part of the weapon to not align properly. Repeating the process again, only led to the first issue popping up in addition to the second. It was at this point the desperation started to set in.

What am I going to do? The teen only had a scant hour and a half left before Ruby returned. I could be honest about it. That was certainly her second option; hopefully Ruby would forgive her. However, that was also a last resort for Pyrrha, seeing as she had technically violated Ruby's privacy and broken her most treasured possession.

I-I-I just need to take it apart do it more slowly this time. Then I'll be able to see what I did wrong. Pyrrha started to slowly calm down. It's going to be fine. Perfectly fine. Very slowly, the teen started to dissemble the weapon once more. I still have an hour and a half left till they get here. She looked up at the ceiling, as if it held the answers. I can do thi-

Her emerald eyes strayed towards the clock.

Less than five minutes left.

Oh no.

"We're back!"

It was a voice that Pyrrha was normally ecstatic to hear, yet today it was one she was dreading, as Ruby skipped towards her, followed by her teammates –albeit with a slightly less skip to their gait. "H-hello Ruby." Crap, my voice is shaking.

Ruby, however, didn't notice the tremor in her voice, rather, her silver eyes were drawn to what Pyrrha was hiding behind her back. "Whatca ya hiding?"

It's now or never. "Remember that mod you saw in Battle Axe monthly?" Ruby nodded slowly. "Well… I might have had to call in some favours but…" With a shaky smile, Pyrrha slowly revealed Crescent Rose from behind her. "Crescent Rose has it now."

The gleeful smile that stretched the corners of Ruby's mouth, the pure happiness in her silver eyes was all that Pyrrha needed to remember that the last four hours of panicking had been well worth it. In the end, she'd been able to properly reassemble it, much to her relief. I suppose I just needed some pressure to get it right. "Eeee! Thank youuu!" It still surprised Pyrrha the sheer level of bone crushing that could happened when the far smaller teen hugged her. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank youuuu!"

As soon as the hug had enveloped her, it disappeared, as Ruby darted away from Pyrrha –and the rest of team RWBY- before swinging the scythe open. "Oh wow it's so much lighter!" Ruby was practically fawning as she stared at the new part. "And it opened smoother too!" Pyrrha finally allowed herself to smile.

With a flick of the wrist, the scythe closed back down, Ruby locking it onto the back of her belt. Well. Most of it.

Part of the blade had sheared off in mid-close, much to the horror of Pyrrha. Yang, Weiss and Blake stared at it in shock, the component floating in the air behind Ruby due to the tall teen's semblance; her immediate reaction to grab it with her power so it didn't clatter against the ground.

"It's so light, I can barely even feel it!" The shorter teen disappeared in a burst of rose petals. "You're the best girlfriend ever Pyrrha!" Ruby was oblivious the stares of her teammates as she squeezed Pyrrha in another hug before standing up on her tippy-toes to give her a kiss. The lack of Pyrrha's response evidently tipped Ruby off to something being off, as she turned around; "Is something wro-"

Silver eyes locked onto the broken fragment of Crescent Rose.

Oh no.

AU: Pyrrha, you've screwed up, may the crying Ruby not give you nightmares. I may actually do a sequel chapter next Friday for this. Possibly.

Okay, short message today; Acceptance will be posted later today, probably in about two to three hours. Just need to finish some editing and one of the omakes. No Dilation, sorry X_X

Hopefully this came off as funny, this was a very rushed chapter sadly! Also, Protect Nikos 2k15!

Thanks for reading everyone, have a great day! :D
