Chapter Text
Beautiful lakeside beach.
RWBY: *arrives carrying bags*
NPR: *arrives carrying backpacks*
Jaune: *arrives loaded down like a packmule*
Yang: Here's to Vomit Boy for carrying all of our shit for us.
Jaune: Implying I don't want to enjoy a day at the beach with the rest of you?
Pyrrha: We all appreciate it. Truly.
Weiss: And where, exactly, do you expect us to change? Are we going to have to tie up the boys so they don't take their blindfolds off?
Nora: Did she just suggest our boys would peak?! I know... I know... you're all paranoid with your fabulous bodies, but that is going too far!
Ren: *hand on Nora's shoulder*
Nora: *sighs*
Ren: It is a perfectly reasonable concern.
Nora: It's not like I've ever had to worry about it.
Pyrrha: They've always been perfect gentlemen... maybe too perfect...
Ren: We also did bring tents, along with a big one to act like a sitting room.
Jaune: Should be enough for our snow princess.
Weiss: *huffs*
Weiss: Anything we can... uh... do... to help... with... in the meantime?.. I don't want you to think I'm not being helpful.
Nora: Well, you did pay for everything.
Yang: I'm sure we can help the boys out later.
Weiss: Technically, my father paid for it. I feel like I haven't done anything to help.
Jaune: Just please, relax?
Ruby: You can help me build a sand castle.
Weiss: And get sand all over my dress? Thank you, no.
Yang: Maybe you should wait until you get changed.
Pyrrha: We could go hunting.
Weiss: Well, I suppose we are training to be huntresses... *looks at Jaune and Ren* -men... Wait, does that mean we have to?.. With the... skin?..
Blake: Is this the first time you've been living off the land?
Weiss: I'm sure you will understand... why it's never... come... up... before...
Jaune: We understand perfectly well, Snow Angel.
Weiss: And what does that mean?
Jaune: It means you were sheltered. It's not an insult, considering how beautiful and elegant you are.
Ruby: She does always wear lady stilts.
Ren: We are quite prepared for you to... of little... assistance...
Jaune: That doesn't mean we don't appreciate the thought and effort you put into everything.
Weiss: Everything?
Jaune: You are the most thoughful person we know. You think that would be obvious, being a straight-A student and all.
Weiss: So, you are all prepared for me to just sit around like... like?..
Yang: An upper-class princess?
Blake: He did say we appreciate the thought and effort.
Weiss: He did say that, yes. Sadly, all of our lectures have been on tracking Grimm, so I have little experience.
RBYPN: We know!
Weiss: Yes. Quite. So, to confirm, the plan is to let the boys set up the tents while I attempt to aid you on our hunting expedition?
Nora: Exactly.
Weiss: Well, I shall endeavour to be as much help to you as a can.
* * *
RWBY came out of the woods, Pyrrha and Nora right behind them with a large deer tied to Milo held between them. Ren was finishing with the tents while Jaune was playing with the portable barbecue they had brought.
Jaune: Welcome back.
Ren: *waves from behind him*
Weiss: And how are you gentlemen doing?
Jaune: Actually getting thirsty...
Yang: *taps Weiss in the small of her back*
Weiss: Hm?
Yang: *nods her head to the water*
Weiss: *looks where her head was pointed to see a line tied to a log going into the water.*
Yang (whispers): Get them a drink.
Weiss: Oh, yes, of course. You keep your drinks in the water. That is actually quite clever.
Yang: *taps Weiss once again in the small of her back*
Weiss: Oh, yes, right. *walks to the water*
Jaune: You girls can get changed if you just want to leave the deer.
Weiss: *pausing, half way to the water* You can butcher deer?
Jaune: Uh-huh... Seven sisters to feed. Who do you think did all the heavy lifting?
Weiss: And you will be... cooking... as well?
Jaune: *proudly* Barbecuing is a man's job.
Blake: Says who?
Jaune: Me, I guess *shrugs*
Ren (in the background): Men do tend to prefer cooking with an open flame!
Yang: *makes a clicking sound*
Weiss: *looks at her*
Yang: *nods her head to the water*
Weiss: Oh, yes, right.
Weiss: *carrying a pair of drinks, offers one to Jaune*
Jaune: Thank you.
Weiss: You are quite welcome. *continues on to Ren*
Ren: Thank you.
Weiss: *returns with the rest of the girls*
Weiss: So, are we just going to let the boys spoil us?
Yang: Of course. It makes them happy. It makes us happy. We just have to remember to help them in return.
Ruby: We always helped dad around the house.
Weiss: Yes, well, my household was... rather... different...
Yang: *grabs Weiss by the shoulders and pulls her in*
Yang: We know. You don't have to keep apologizing for it.
Weiss: I just wish I could be of more help.
Yang: Look at Jaune.
Weiss: *does* And?
Yang: Is he smiling?
Weiss: More than he ever does.
Yang: That's because his Snow Angel just brought him a cold drink on a hot day.
Weiss: Is that it?
Nora: *arms around the both of them*
Nora: There's something else we can do for the guys.
Weiss: Such as?
Nora: *pushes them towards the large tent*
* * *
The girls came out of the tent in bikinis.
Nora: *slaps Pyrrha's butt*
Nora: Don't forget to flaunt it, girl.
Weiss: Schnees don't flaunt.
Blake: Except your money.
Weiss: Well, yes, there is that.
Nora: This is what I mean when I said we could do something else for them.
Yang: Just look at Jaune.
Jaune: *jaw slack, wipes the drool from his mouth*
Yang: We are THE BOMB!
Yang: *looks at Pyrrha*
Yang: No hiding, today.
Nora: *pushes Pyrrha forward*
Pyrrha: Hello, Jaune.
Jaune: Hi, Pyrrha. Girls.
Weiss: How on Remnant does it smell that good?
Jaune: I, uh... don't know...
Nora: Maybe next time don't treat it like a question.
Blake: It does smell... wonderful...
Jaune: Thank you.
* * *
Jaune: *banging a metal triangle*
Weiss: What's that?! An alarm?!
Yang: It means grub is ready.
Weiss: Yes, right, of course. I knew the stereotype, but wasn't sure you actually...
Nora: *grabs Weiss' hand and pulls her along*
Nora: Less talking, more eating.
Pyrrha: The boys would be terribly disappointed if we did not help ourselves.
* * *
Blake (with her mouth full): This is fabuwous!
Weiss: Incorrigible.
Yang (whispers to her): Are they smiling.
Weiss: Yes, well, they are.
Yang (whispering): Compliment them.
Weiss: Oh yes, this is fabulous. Compliments to the chef. You have both done so much for us today that I...
Yang: *puts her hand on Weiss' shoulder*
Weiss: *coughs* Um, yes, I mean, thank you.
Jaune: Quite welcome.
Weiss: I feel quite out of my element here. You have all been so kind to me.
Blake: You would do the same for us.
Weiss: I would, wouldn't I? This has been a most spectacular day.
Ruby: *leans in beside her*
Ruby: I think you needed this more than the rest of us.
Weiss: I think... I did...
