Pyrrha let out a contented sigh as she watched her girlfriends who were currently seated on her bed. The redhead had just gotten out of the shower and was towelling herself off, already wearing her underwear. Ruby was seated behind Blake, the both of them wearing robes, while the brunette ran a brush through the Cat Faunus' hair. Blake had her Faunus ears folded flat against her head to keep them out of the way of the bristles and she was purring quite loudly.

"Juuust a few more minutes, fluffy fox, and it's your turn," Ruby chirped, giving her a wink.

Smiling, Pyrrha just nodded as she sat on the edge, running a hand along Blake's arm. The raven-haired girl opened her amber eyes, returned the smile, and grasped her hand to give it a loving squeeze before returning to her previous blissful state.

The three of them greatly enjoyed brushing each other's hair. It had become a semi-nightly ritual, depending on whether or not they had the time. Ruby's was short enough that it took very few strokes, but either Blake or Pyrrha would take care of her, whoever was the first dressed for bed. Once everyone was settled, the three of them would sit cross-legged on the bed, Ruby in back and then Blake, who in turn would brush Pyrrha's long red hair. They'd frequently switch so that each of the taller girls could enjoy the act of giving one of their girlfriends attention in such a manner.

Tonight, however, they were getting ready separately, so as soon as Ruby was done with Blake the raven-haired girl gracefully rose to her feet, giving each of them a quick kiss, and then slipped out of the room to change in one of the guest rooms.

With a little bounce of eager anticipation, Pyrrha shifted over to sit in front of her brunette lover.

Ruby giggled lightly as she began to run the brush through her long, straight red hair. "It's been a few days since I got to brush your hair," she commented quietly.

"Mmhmm," she replied with a pleased sigh. "I've missed it."

"Me too," Ruby replied simply.

After a few quiet minutes Pyrrha chuckled to herself at a stray thought that crossed her mind. "If I were a Cat Faunus I'd be purring up a storm right now."

"I figured that," the brunette giggled once more. She pulled the hair gathered up in her hands to the side and placed a sweet kiss on the side of Pyrrha's neck, making her giggle as well. "Unfortunately, I gotta go get dressed. We can do this again tonight, though, okay?"

Pyrrha smiled widely as she turned to face her brunette lover. "That would be grand," she murmured before pressing her lips against Ruby's. Both of them moaned slightly as the kiss deepened, but the petite brunette managed to break away before too long.

"If I don't go now," Ruby stated breathlessly, "we're gonna be late."

"I know, I know," Pyrrha replied with a fake pout.

The brunette hopped off of the bed, but leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. "Love you, fluffy fox."

"Love you too, little rose," the redhead grinned.

o o o

Pyrrha smiled widely as she walked into the living room to see her girlfriends assembled for the evening. Tonight they were going to eat at a somewhat upscale Mistralian restaurant, one of the redhead's favorites that she hadn't been to in some time. When Ruby had found out about it, the brunette had adamantly insisted on taking both she and Blake there.

The raven-haired Faunus girl was perched on the edge of the couch, looking up at Pyrrha warmly as she entered. Blake wore a rather slinky black dress with matching heels, though the bow on her head was a dark purple.

Smiling in return, Pyrrha made a mental note not to follow the Cat Faunus at any point tonight so as to avoid any further embarrassing blushes on her part. It was, after all, a very form-fitting dress.

Ruby had on a short red sleeveless dress, complimenting the red-dyed tips of her hair nicely, that had a wide black sash around her middle. It came down in a long vee in the front with black lacing across, and her upper chest was covered by a black mesh fabric with additional lacing. She also, much to Pyrrha's amusement, wore her 'stupid lady-stilts' as she still referred to them, even though she'd been steadily becoming more confident in them.

"You two are so beautiful," the redhead murmured almost dreamily as she walked up.

Her brunette girlfriend grinned widely. "Looking rather gorgeous there yourself, love," she giggled.

Pyrrha had chosen a rather simple sleeveless red dress that came down past her knees, but it was simple only in its elegance. The material itself was silk, one of the more expensive dresses she owned, and thus had remained at home when she went to Beacon.

But, she wanted to show off a little bit for her girlfriends.

From the hungry look in Blake's amber eyes, it was apparently working, too. "Mmm," she hummed, which Pyrrha interpreted as being anything but unappreciated.

"Thank you," she replied shyly, knowing there was a light blush to her cheeks. Even when she was looking to get such a reaction from them, the attention from the two of them still warmed her.

She jumped slightly at the sound of a man clearing his throat. "You do look very lovely, Pyrrha."

Blushing brighter now in embarrassment, the redhead turned to face the chair and its unnoticed occupant. "Er, thank you, father."

Epirus nodded genially. "Are you sure you do not want me to drive you?"

"No, thank you. I called a taxi, it should be here shortly." She smiled slightly as she sat on the other side of Ruby.

And then the room descended into an ever so slightly uncomfortable silence.

Pyrrha glanced aside at the other two girls. Blake seemed content to meditate with her eyes open, but Ruby was looking about the room restlessly. The redhead could practically feel the effort the brunette was making at not bouncing in her seat, though her legs were vibrating marginally.

"You alright, little rose?" she murmured.

Ruby looked up with her usual infectious smile. She'd actually put on a little bit of makeup, some eyeliner to make her silver eyes even more prominent and subtle lipstick. "Yep, just excited about tonight!" she chirped in reply.

"Me, too," Pyrrha answered with a smile of her own.

"So, Ruby," her father spoke up suddenly. "I noticed you training in the back yard this morning. Quite the weapon you have."

"Oh, thank you sir," Ruby replied excitedly. Both Pyrrha and Blake let out soft sighs of affectionate exasperation as the brunette launched into one of her favorite subjects.

"I designed my sweetheart myself, based it off of my Uncle Qrow's own scythe, though I made a ton of modifications, she's a war scythe but also a customizable high impact sniper rifle, and just recently I made a few tweaks to accept different types of Dust rounds which will give me a lot more flexibility on the battlefield, ended up just a tad bit heavier on the back end so I added a little more to the blade as well but it was sooo worth it…"

By this point both the redhead and the raven-haired girl were covering their mouths, suppressing their mirth at the glazed expression on Epirus' face.

"Er… that's nice…" he interjected dazedly as Ruby paused to take a breath.

Before the brunette could continue, Blake quickly moved her hand over to cover Ruby's mouth. "You'll have to excuse her," the Cat Faunus murmured. "She gets a little overexcited when talking about her weapon."

"Crescent Rose is not just a weapon," Ruby mumbled behind Blake's hand.

"Yes, love," Pyrrha snickered softly. "She's your sweetheart."

Ruby's silver eyes took on a dangerous glint then, and not a moment later Blake's hand shot away from her mouth.

"Did you seriously just lick me?" Blake asked, incredulous.

The brunette smirked as she sat back with her arms crossed. "Maybe."

The Cat Faunus huffed as she sat back as well. "You are just lucky you're so cute."

"It does allow her to get away with quite a bit," Pyrrha added humorously.

Just then they heard the honk of a horn, indicating their ride had arrived.

"All right, then, have a good evening you three," Epirus called out, looking more bemused than anything as he waved from his chair.

"We will, thank you father!" Pyrrha replied, waving over her shoulder.

The three girls headed down the sidewalk, all of them breathing a sigh of relief at the cooler evening air.

"So, did you guys bring your lipstick along?" Ruby asked innocently.

"I did, yes," Pyrrha replied, patting her hand bag. Blake nodded as well.

"Goodie," the brunette smirked. "That means we can make out in the back seat."

"Ruby!"

o o o

Fortunately they got there in plenty of time for their reservation, as the three of them needed to stop by the restroom first to freshen up. And reapply lipstick.

They were seated soon thereafter at a round table towards the far side of the restaurant. Blake was in the middle with her back to the wall, and both Pyrrha and Ruby scooted in closer so that they might all hold hands under the table while they waited for service.

"This really is quite lovely," the Cat Faunus murmured, glancing up at the numerous sparkling chandeliers.

"Fancy," Ruby agreed with a giggle, eyeing the paintings lining the walls. "I don't suppose they give you real portions here?"

"It's not that fancy," Pyrrha protested mildly, giving the brunette a pointed look, one which she returned with a smirk. "But yes, the portions are decently-sized. No burgers, I'm afraid."

"I suppose I'll just have to branch out," Ruby sighed with feigned melodrama. "Will you help me choose?"

"I think I know what you might enjoy," the redhead mused, nodding towards the open menu in front of her. "The Alfredo Pasta Charcuterie is excellent, though a bit heavy…"

Ruby's face screwed up into an adorable mask of confusion. "Alfie Pasta Charred-what-now?"

Pyrrha giggled lightly. "It's like mac and cheese with bacon."

"Sold!" the brunette announced. "How about you, kitty cat?"

Blake was sitting back in her chair already, a wide and pleased grin on her face. She gave both girls' hands a gentle squeeze as she answered. "They have salmon."

"Ooooh, gettin' your chocolate, huh?" Ruby snickered.

"Perhaps she will make those adorable little noises once more while she eats," Pyrrha teased.

The raven-haired girl let out a huff of faked irritation. "Really?"

"You know we love you, Blakey," the diminutive brunette smiled warmly.

Just then they noticed someone had paused by their table. Expecting it to be their waiter, the three looked up, only to be surprised by the group of young adults who clustered eagerly in the aisle.

"You're Pyrrha Nikos," the first one stated breathlessly. She was a brunette of medium height, wearing a strapless blue dress that matched her eyes currently shining brightly with fervor.

Pyrrha let out a barely audible sigh as she let go of Blake's hand and sat up straighter. She quickly plastered her customary fake, professional smile on her face and tried to push down her irritation at having her date interrupted.

"Yes, I am," she replied pleasantly.

"Ohhh, it's such an honor to meet you," another girl gushed, this one with a long-sleeved turquoise dress and a short bob of blonde hair. "We're all huuuge fans!"

"That's very nice to hear," the redhead murmured.

"You're a lot hotter in person," a brunet boy smirked from the right. He wore a dark suit, and his glittering black eyes roamed over her body shamelessly.

"Not cool, Derek," another blond boy in a matching suit muttered from behind the others.

Derek ignored the glares he was receiving from the two girls accompanying him, as well as those from Pyrrha's girlfriends. And those are the ones you need to be worrying about, she thought to herself wryly.

"While it is nice to meet… fans," Pyrrha stated demurely, giving the obnoxious boy a hard glance. "I'm afraid this isn't really the place…"

"Oh, come on now, big celebrity like you?" Derek leered. "Surely you have time for the little folk?"

Ruby cleared her throat. By the look on her face, she was trying very hard to restrain herself, likely cognizant of both the setting and the publicity. "You're interrupting our date," the brunette said firmly. "Would you please leave me and my girlfriends in peace?"

Both of the girls and the more polite of the boys nodded and began to back away, but the remaining male didn't seem to want to relent any.

"Nice, girlfriends, eh? That's sexy."

With a sigh, Ruby pulled her napkin off of her lap and set it on the table. "Okay, now this one I'm gonna fight."

Pyrrha reached across Blake, who seemed to be growling quietly and giving the boy in question a death glare. She placed a restraining hand on Ruby's arm before she turned back towards the interloper. The redhead smiled, though it had plenty of steel behind it.

"You want to walk away right now," she stated quietly. "Before I allow my Huntress girlfriends to eviscerate you."

Derek, now faced with three sets of glares that were fierce enough to skewer a Grimm, evidently was finally able to take a hint.

"Um, y- yeah, I'll just… go now…"

He sheepishly sauntered away, but not before earning a smack upside the back of his head from the blonde.

Pyrrha let out an exasperated sigh, but it broke into a giggle to mirror the ones from Ruby and Blake.

"Wow, Pyrrha Nikos, you're sooo famous," Ruby teased lightly.

Blake smirked, her amber eyes glowing with humor. "Might I have an autograph?"

The redhead desperately tried to hide her grin as she shot them a mock glare. "You know, I have two perfectly comfortable couches for the pair of you…"

"No, anything but that!" the brunette wailed softly.

"Mmm, we'll behave," Blake relented as well. "There's no way we can spend a night away from our fluffy fox."

"And don't you forget it," Pyrrha smiled warmly as the waiter finally arrived to take their orders.

I'll have to remember this… About time I found a way to gain an advantage over these two…

She had to chuckle to herself, though, as she was well aware it was an empty threat at best.

There was no possible way she could spend a night apart from her little rose and kitty cat, either.

A/N: Ahh, the adoring fans. "Pyrrha Nikos, you're my hero…" Okay, new brilliant idea. Someone needs to do a remake of Ferris Bueller's Day Off but with RWBY characters. Heck, let's make it Purruby, we'll have Ruby as Ferris, Blake as Cameron, and Pyrrha as Sloane… Yang could do a cameo as Jeanie, and we can use Weiss for Charlie Sheen's character… No, bad Dongyrn, stop thinking of more things to write, you can't keep up with what you already have…

Okay, back from slapping some sense into myself. Thank you all so much for reading, and I am very happy folk enjoyed the last chapter so much. I was afraid some might see it as too stereotypical and miss the humor. But anyways, many hugs for my fluff-loving reviewers: DarthMaine, makoto-18, Gorsouul, Boombox94, ILikeHotDogs, Commando2341, Psykotic101, Jack Inqu, THB4, MakaS0ul, BlackLightDemon21, Reaper Whisper, Heil96, SamuraiShippo, Marauderby, thesecretsix. Remember: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

Couple of things before I sign off. Firstly. before posting this chapter, the number of hits (104k) had exceeded the number of words (103k) for this story. I find that kinda poetic for some reason. Secondly, I may need to change the update schedule for Pearls on a String to monthly. I'm really struggling with that story, but I don't want to leave it off just yet because I have so much to tell still. Thorn and Ember Legacy I'm keeping up with and will continue to go as planned. That's it for now!

Stay shiny!
