Ruby was bored; she was just relaxing in the living room watching TV while dozing in and out of consciousness. It was one of the rare moments where she was not with Weiss, the other girl having left earlier that day saying she had some errands to run and insisting Ruby was not allowed to come. Ruby had pouted in hopes to break Weiss' resolve, though this was to no avail as the pale girl had remained strong and left promising she wouldn't be long. Ruby had accepted this and went off to find Yang and hang out with her older sister who could always be counted on to keep Ruby entertained. Ruby had found Yang as she was leaving the house going off to spend time with Blake at the Faunus' apartment, leaving Ruby alone at the house feeling dejected and she soon found herself in her current state. "I wonder what Weiss is doing" Ruby thought absentmindedly not really paying attention to the TV "I wonder what Yang and Blake are...ewww no I don't!" she quickly thought, stopping herself before she continued with that train of thought, knowing where it would take her. As she started falling asleep her phone vibrated bringing her back to consciousness as she picked it up to see who was texting her. The name she saw brought a smile to her face as she read the message from her girlfriend "Meet me at Vale Park" Ruby was about to ask about the errands Weiss had to run but quickly decided it didn't matter as she got off the couch and headed her room to change while she replied to the heiress. "I'll be over soon just going to change first" she entered her room as she sent the message, heading over to her closet and changing into a pair of jeans, black and red sneakers, and a white t-shirt that Weiss had given her to add some lighter colors to Ruby's wardrobe. Ruby grabbed her jacket and put it on as she left the house and turning right and started walking towards the park.

Ruby soon found herself in the park and saw among the crowds enjoying the beautiful day Weiss sitting on a park bench in a light red blouse with black skirt, she also having received darker colored clothes from Ruby for the same reason. Ruby took advantage of Weiss not noticing her and crept up behind her quietly and put her hands over Weiss' eyes.

"Guess who" Ruby chirped happily to which Weiss smiled at.

"Hmmmm I don't know" Weiss said feigning ignorance as she took Ruby's hands away from her face and turned around giving Ruby a kiss on the cheek.

"So what did we come to the park for?" Ruby asked as she walked around the bench and took a seat by Weiss.

"Well I had something to show you." Weiss answered not giving any more information about what she wanted to show.

"Are you going to tell me what it is?" Ruby asked, Weiss put a finger to her chin in thought in the overly acted way Ruby had done often before giving an answer.

"Nope" she said happy to be able to play this game with Ruby with her being the one knowing the surprise.

"Not even a hint?" Ruby asked with a small pout hoping to breakdown Weiss' resolve. Weiss faltered a bit at the cute expression on Ruby's face but quickly recovered.

"Nope, now come on let's go." she said hurriedly walking so she could avoid spending more time in the presence of Ruby's pout, knowing that if she stayed any longer she would surely succumb to it.

Ruby quickly jumped up and followed Weiss and realizing her pout wasn't going to work this time so she ended up accepting that she would have to wait and instead started talking with Weiss about the other girl's day.

"So what were the errands you had to run?"

"I can't tell you" was Weiss' simple response as she kept walking ahead towards a familiar location, though Ruby was too preoccupied talking with Weiss to notice where they were going.

"Ahhhh come on Weiss just tell me" Ruby groaned as she continued following a smirking Weiss who was enjoying this slightly.

"Ruby if I tell you it will ruin the surprise."

"Please just a hint?" Ruby pleaded, finally succeeding in breaking Weiss resolve a bit.

"Oh fine, we are going to have fun and some of the errands I ran today were in preparation." Ruby perked up at this now having at least some vague idea of what Weiss had done while she had been gone and now even more excited for the surprise.

"Alright then" Ruby said in much better spirits than she had been a few moments ago.

She and Weiss walked in a pleasant silence Weiss not willing to divulge any more about the plans she had and Ruby accepting she would just have to wait to find out what the surprise was. After a few minutes of walking Weiss stopped and turned to look at Ruby, her face deadpan as she stared at her startled girlfriend.

"Ruby I need you to do something for me before we can continue."

"What is it Weiss?" Ruby asked, unsure of why Weiss had gotten so serious so suddenly.

"I need you to close your eyes" Weiss said in complete seriousness. Ruby looked dumbfounded for a quick moment before she recovered and a wide smile came upon her face.

"More than happy to sweetheart" Ruby chirped as she closed her eyes, prepared to peek at what was going on as soon as Weiss resumed leading her to their destination. Weiss though knew Ruby too well and was prepared for this as she stepped behind Ruby and placed her cool slender hands over Ruby's eyes.

"And no peeking" was her stern warning before she continued walking, this time guiding Ruby who was soon reminded of something.

"Hey Weiss you know what this reminds me of" Ruby said as she let her girlfriend guide her.

"What does it remind you of Ruby?" Weiss asked sensing that her younger girlfriend was getting an idea of what was going on.

"This is like when I took us fishing, only this time you are the one….." Ruby trailed off as it finally clicked in her head where they were.

"You can open your eyes now" Weiss said as she took her hands away and wrapped them around Ruby's waist.

Ruby opened her eyes and felt her breath get taken a sight she had seen before. They were back at the clear lake in the clearing of the woods, and it was as beautiful as she remembered. As she looked around she saw something that was different near the shore of the lake opposite the fire pit Ruby saw a picnic. There was a pink blanket set upon the ground with a picturesque wicker basket sitting on top of the blanket.

"Would this be related to the errands you were running in anyway?" Ruby asked with a smile, knowing full well that it was.

"There is a small chance" Weiss answered as she gave Ruby a hug from behind.

"Not that I don't appreciate this but what is this for?" Ruby asked as she rested her hands over Weiss'.

"I just thought it would be romantic to have a picnic at the lake where we first hung out alone." Weiss said while she rested her head on Ruby's shoulder with Ruby tilting her head to the side and kissing Weiss' head.

"I love it" Ruby said with a big smile "now let's go eat!" she exclaimed as she took one of Weiss' hands and started practically dragging the other girl towards the blanket.

"Dunce" she murmured under her breath as the corners of her lips upturned in a smile. As frustrating as Ruby could be Weiss loved these moments and would never trade them for anything in the whole world.

They sat down on the blanket, Ruby ungracefully plopping to the ground with her legs crossed while Weiss was much more elegant and sat down with her legs folded underneath her as she started pulling out food and utensils to eat with. She laid the food out; a pitcher filled with lemonade, a bag of potato chips, several sandwiches of multiple different kinds, some fruit, and the last two things she pulled out made Ruby's mouth water more than it already was. Weiss slowly pulled out a tray of chocolate chip cookies from the basket, but what really held Ruby's attention was the special sandwich Weiss set on a plate.

"Ruby I made this sandwich just for you, it's peanut butter and nutella on cinnamon bread" Weiss said looking up from pouring each of them a glass of lemonade, only to smile at the goofy look of delight on Ruby's face as she processed the ingredients of the sandwich.

"Weiss…...this is amazing!" she exclaimed as she grabbed the sandwich and took a big bite.

"Hmmmm ris is ood….: Ruby said her mouth trying to talk even though the sticky contents of the sandwich were working to keep her mouth closed.

"Ruby what have I told you about speaking before swallowing" Weiss scolded though her voice lacked conviction as it seemed Ruby would never learn this particular lesson.

"I said this is good." Ruby said with a small sigh, that particular criticism always frustrating her.

"Well thank you, I'm glad you like it, though you better enjoy it because I only made one cause I want you to eat something that won't rot your teeth" Weiss said as she picked her own food; a ham and cheese sandwich, some watermelon slices, and a handful of chips.

So they ate Ruby savoring every bite of her sweet sandwich before piling more food on her plate once she had finished it; a roast beef sandwich, watermelon, chips, and a stack of cookies. Weiss smiled as she took dainty bites as her and Ruby talked about anything and everything just enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Weiss was even so bold as to take Ruby's sandwich from the other girl and feed it to her, much to Ruby's amusement and delight. As they were finishing up their picnic Ruby had an idea. After everything but the blanket had been put away and Ruby had taken off her jacket she then took Weiss by the hand and dragged her over to the spot where they had fished on their last visit to this spot. As they stood their hand in hand admiring the beautiful sight of the lake, Ruby had second thoughts about this idea of hers but quickly decided that she was going to just live with the consequences and looked at Weiss.

"Weiss how warm do you think this lake is?" she asked, too innocently and immediately making Weiss suspicious.

"Why do you ask?" she said narrowing her eyes at the smiling face of Ruby

"Oh no reason" Ruby said nonchalantly as she tightened her hold on Weiss' hand and leaned forward into the water, pulling the heiress with her.

"RUBYYYYYY" Weiss screamed right before they were both submerged in the warm water.

Ruby came up first and upon seeing Weiss sputtering and the ridiculous way her hair had gotten soaked and covered her face made her burst out laughing.

"RUBY! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Weiss yelled trying to be heard over Ruby's laughter.

"I'm sorry Weiss but the water looked so nice and I knew you wouldn't get in on your own" Ruby said swimming over to Weiss and helping the girl fix her sopping hair, before giving her a wet kiss. This mollified Weiss enough to bring her down from anger to annoyance

"Oh you dolt, let's go dry off and we can come back here sometime actually prepared to swim." she said as they both swam back to the land and headed back to the blanket and basket. Both of them were dripping wet.

"You dunce now we have to walk home soaked."

"Hold on" Ruby said looking at the blanket, a new idea forming. she walked over to the blanket and picking it up threw it over Weiss' shoulder before getting underneath the blanket too, extremely close to Weiss. "There we go" she said with a beaming smile on her face that made Weiss smile as well past the light blush on her face.

"Oh let's get going home you dunce" she said with a small laugh as Ruby picked up the basket and her jacket, putting the hood overhead so it flowed behind her like a cloak.

As they walked down the path through the woods in the park they heard a dog barking which combined with Ruby's appearance with the jacket made Weiss laugh her crystal clear laugh.

"Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf" she said in between her laughter and once she said that Ruby understood the cause of her amusement and laughed along while they continued walking home laughing together while bundled close together under the blanket.

They got back to Ruby's house and to neither of their surprises Blake and Yang had not come back. They set the wet blanket next to the washer and dryer to be cleaned later and they both went to Ruby's room to change out of their still soaked clothes. As Ruby started to undress she realized something astounding as she was taking her shirt off, Weiss was still in the room and not completely flustered. In fact she was changing her clothes as well and had removed her damp skirt. Instead of ruining the moment by speaking Ruby just snuck up behind Weiss and gave the other girl a kiss on the neck, which did bring a light pink dusting to the pale girl's features.

"Glad to see you loosening up Sweetheart" Ruby said as she went back to changing her clothes. After both girls had changed into some casual clothes to relax in they went into the living room and curled up together on the couch and watched TV until they fell asleep like that, both tired from the day they spent at the park. When Yang and Blake returned they followed the noise coming from the living room to find Ruby and Weiss asleep and the TV still on, with Ruby having her face buried in Weiss' curtain of white hair and Weiss holding the other girl close.

"Aww they are sooo cute" Yang whispered not wanting to wake them up.

"They are quite adorable" Blake said with a smile on her face.

"Well why don't we go to bed ourselves" Yang said, though with the devious grin and raised eyebrow she had on Blake held no allusions to getting sleep anytime soon, not that she minded.
