Chapter Text
Loud snoring can be heard from the boys' tent.
Weiss: I suppose they deserve the rest... after everything they did, yesterday.
Blake: We did keep them up all night.
Weiss: We, what?!
Ruby: Shh.
Blake: At one point, Jaune got out of bed. I heard him talking about how we were keeping him awake.
Weiss: And why didn't you tell us, we could have?..
Blake: Because he wanted to let us have our fun.
Pyrrha (quietly): One thing you have to accept when you get close to people, is their sacrifices for you. The worst thing you can do with a sacrifice is reject it.
Yang: So, you had fun?
Blake: Of course I did. Even if I'm not the most talkative.
Weiss: So, we should appreciate it?
Yang: And maybe get breakfast ready for them. I'll get the pancakes going.
Nora: Pancakes?! But not Ren's pancakes. I'm conflicted.
Yang: Blake, maybe take the Snow Angel, and catch us some fish?
Blake: *nods*
Weiss: Why do I have to fish? I mean...
Yang: Because everyone helps out where they can. I'm sure we'll find something that you're good at while we're here.
Weiss: Pâtissiére. If that can help us here.
Yang: Think you can make anything with camp equipment?
Weiss: I will certainly give it a shot!
Yang: After breakfast. *nods her head to the lake*
Weiss: I will endeavour to do my best!
Nora: And what do we do?
Pyrrha: If we don't chop some firewood, the boys will spend all day working again.
Nora: Well, that's certainly something we can do.
Ruby: And what about me?
Yang: Guess what the one not cooking does.
Ruby: *sighs* The dishes.
Weiss: There's dishwashing? That's something I can do! I will make sure there's not a spot on them!
Yang: Or, you can learn to fish, which will help us a lot more later on. *shrugs*
Weiss: Or I can do both! If I'm going to be on this trip, come hell or dark brother, I will contribute! My family's name is on the line.
* * *
Jaune: Oh, that smells so good!
Ren: We have an emergency!
Jaune: uh. Huh?
Ren: Someone is making pancakes.
Jaune: uhn?
Ren: Around Nora
Jaune: Oh, sweet rainbows and sunshines!
* * *
Jaune and Ren: *rush out of their tent in their pajama bottoms*
Yang: *flipping pancakes*
Ren: Where's Nora?
Yang: Chopping wood.
Ren: *silent thanks*
Yang: You guys can take a bit of time to get yourselves cleaned up. I mean, we do have an ice princess here *winks* Want you guys to smell your best.
* * *
Ren and Jaune walk up to the group. The girls seemed to have gathered around.
Weiss: About time you guys showed up.
Nora: LET'S EAT.
* * *
Ruby and Weiss blaze through all the dishes.
* * *
Everyone has changed into their swimsuits. Lawn chairs are out, playing in the lake, with Weiss busing herself in the camp kitchen.
* * *
Weiss walks out to the lawn chairs with a tray full of pastries.
Weiss: I figured out what I can do with our camp equipment.
Yang: *eating one in three bites*
Yang: What the hell? I've never had anything this delicate while camping.
Weiss: Thank you. Even if the equipment is the different, the principles are the same. It did take me a few tries, though.
Jaune: You are one fantastic cook.
Weiss: *blushes*
A beowulf howls, and everyone looks in that direction.
Jaune: You girls chase them down, we'll hold down the fort.
Weiss: *huffing* And just what does that mean.
Jaune: We'll give you a safe place to fall back to.
Weiss: Oh, well, that does make wonderful sense.
Jaune: We don't want any of your precious possessions to be damaged, now do we?
Weiss: They are precious?
Jaune: To you, which means they're precious to us as well.
Weiss: Ruby, we'll do this!
Blake: In bikinis?
Weiss: *stands to attention* Yes, well, good point. We'll do this, after we change.
Yang: *snickering*
* * *
RWBY returns to the camp, seeing JNRP moving the bodies of fallen Beowulves.
Weiss: They actually did it.
Blake: I'm surprised... you're surprised...
Yang: She's not surprised.
Weiss: I'm not?!
Yang: You're impressed.
Weiss: That I am.
Yang: Vomit Boy is turning into a man before our very eyes.
Weiss: As frightening a thought as that is.
Blake: Misattribution of...
Yang: Hmm?
Blake: Nothing.
Ruby: Let's promise to do more team ups after we graduate.
Yang: This was a blast. Get it, because of the...
Weiss: Explosions, yes. And yes.
Blake: As long as we're together.
