<Yang filming herself on her scroll in the RWBY dorm>

Yang: “Welcome back to another episode of Quantum Physics with Yang. Today we’re going to be exploring light, specifically the way light projects itself. As any student of science knows in the day to day world that we experience light moves only in straight lines. As such, the only way to observe things out of sight is using a reflection in a polished surface like a mirror. Such as this one I’ve prepared earlier”

<Camera pans around to reveal an arrangement of mirrors set up to allow Yang to see through the open door into the RWBY dorm bathroom. Blake stands at the basin in front of the wall mirror brushing her teeth. Blake glances aside and notices Yang through the arrangement of mirrors. Blake retrieves her scroll from the counter and types something out, holding it up to the mirror>

Yang after pulling the camera back around: “We’ll have to censor that. But there you have it folks, a practical demonstration on the reflection of light brought to you by Quantum Physics”

<Ruby and Weiss having team-bonding training with Professor Melinda Drake>

Drake: “Today I’ll be teaching you about the dangerous mindsets a Huntress can experience. This will primarily focus on what are known as the Six Deadly I’s. They are-”

Weiss: “Impatience, Impulsivity, Indecision, Insecurity, Invulnerability and I know best”

Drake: “Excellent Weiss, top marks. Now, let’s take them one at a time. Invulnerability is the belief that nothing bad can ever happen, that you’re free to act recklessly without concern for the consequences. Now, you may not have encountered someone like that before-”

Weiss: “I have. I definitely have”

Drake: “Ok, without naming names”

Weiss: “Of course not, that would be most uncouth. Well this person, could be literally any of the other members of Team RWBY. Let’s call her, Ruble. Ruble, when given an assignment to write a report on forest-based Grimm, decided that the best way to research them would be to go into the forest singlehandedly to attempt to capture one alive for study”

Ruby defensively: “It would have worked if only someone would have agreed to help dig the pit deep enough”

Weiss innocently: “Oh, have you worked with Ruble, Ruby? What a coincidence”

Drake: “The next one is ‘I know best’, this is the anti-authority attitude that rules and regulations don’t apply to you, that you can just decide things entirely by yourself. Again, you may never have encountered someone like this-”

Ruby: “I have. Let’s call her, Waiss. Waiss ignores team meetings, group assignments and persistently argues and disobeys instructions during combined training. She basically thinks she’s always right”

Weiss: “Has it occurred to you that maybe Waiss is always right?”

Ruby: “Well, it’s certainly occurred to Waiss”

Drake: “Then there’s ‘Impulsivity’, the tendency to panic under pressure and do the first thing you think of just for the sake of doing something”

Weiss: “Ruble”

Drake: “’Insecurity’, always trying to prove themselves better than anyone else”

Ruby: “Waiss”

Drake: “And finally, ‘Indecision’, being faced with a problem and being unable to settle on a course of action”

Weiss: “And Ruble”

Ruby: “I thought you said Ruble impulsively did the first thing she thought of?”

Weiss: “Amazingly she manages to combine both, doing whichever is LEAST appropriate to the situation”

<Beat>

Drake: “Ok, well what’s good here is we’re fostering a real openness between you”

<Weiss and Yang have been dating for several months when Yang invites her back to Patch for a family meal. Sitting down to dinner Weiss demonstrates herself to be a model house guest, getting on wonderfully with Taiyang and Ruby. Weiss excuses herself from the table to use the restroom only to realise the only bathroom is directly above the dining room. Recalling a piece of advice from her Atlas finishing school she turns on the tap to cover the sound. Weiss returns to the table to finish the meal>

<Yang texting Taiyang the next morning>

Yang: Thanks for the meal last night. What did you think about Weiss?

Taiyang: Nice girl. Pisses like a horse.

<Weiss and Professor Drake sit down for a one on one session>

Drake: “Weiss, this is a session specifically for other members of the team without their leaders. You see, one of the commonest issues that inexperienced teams face is that some of the team members become overly in awe of their leader”

Weiss dryly: “Is it now?”

Drake: “So today I’m going to teach you an assertiveness technique known as the ‘Five Step Statement’. Now, imagine you’ve noticed a problem but you’re shy about bringing it up with your team leader”

Weiss: “One moment. Sorry, this is just going to take a lot of imagining”

Drake: “First you get their attention. Now depending on how you get on this may be ‘Excuse me Miss Rose’ or ‘Leader’. Or if you’re more familiar it may simply be ‘Hey, Rubes’”

Weiss: “Might it really”

Drake: “The next step is to state your concerns in a non-confrontational way. ‘I might be wrong’”

Weiss shocked: “I might be WRONG?”

Drake: “‘But I think this may be the wrong path’. Step three, explain how you feel about it. ‘This makes me feel, uneasy’. Step four, propose a solution. ‘Maybe we should head to the top of that hill, so we can get a better view of our surroundings’. And lastly, seek approval for your suggestion. ‘How does that sound to you?’”

Weiss: “Well frankly it sounds like the stupidest-”

Drake: “That’s what you say ‘How does that sound to you?’. Would you like to practice?”

Weiss: “I would love to. ‘Hey Rubes. I might be wrong, but I think that’s a Deathstalker coming out of the forest. This makes me feel, scared of the Deathstalker. One thing we could do is turn around and run away from the Deathstalker. How does that sound to-”

<Weiss lets loose with an unholy death rattle>

Drake: “Yes, well in that situation perhaps it would be better to act a little more instinctively”

Weiss: “Oh, do you think so?”

<Yang working on Bumblebee in the garage>

Weiss: “How’s the repair going?”

Yang: “Pretty good. I finally tracked down the problem. Seems they didn’t fit the fuel regulator properly when they built it”

<Yang holds up an engine part with the SDC logo stamped on it>

Yang: “But I’ll fix that”

Weiss agitated: “Yang, you can’t just go around dismantling an advanced piece of equipment like that. It specifically says you need to send it back to the manufacturer for refurbishment”

Yang: “Naw, we don’t need to worry about that. Can you hand me the Vacuo screwdriver?”

Weiss: “The what?”

Yang: “Never mind”

<Yang reaches into her toolbox and retrieves a large hammer>

Weiss rolls her eyes: “Can you at least use the instruction manual”

Yang: “Of course I’m using it. What do you think I used to mop up the fuel spill”

<Ruby sat in the cafeteria, unable to take her eyes away from watching Weiss eating her lunch. Ruby wasn’t quite sure what it was about her, her poise, her lips, her dainty hands, all of them combined. Did they teach this as technique at those Atlas prep schools? Ruby watches dumbfounded as Weiss bites into a fresh strawberry, the very faintest red line of juice tracing its way down her smooth cheek. What Ruby wouldn’t give to be the one to lick the stain from such porcelain white->

“Ruby!”

<Ruby snaps alert, sees Weiss staring straight at her>

Ruby panicking: “I was just wondering…”

<Ruby grabs her banana from her plate>

Ruby: “If you would like to eat this banana”

<Ruby realises what it was she just said, slams her head into the table before she can make things worse>

<Yang finds Ruby lounging in the dorm>

Yang: “So how did your date with Weiss go last night?”

Ruby: “Not great. We tried that thing where we agree to meet and pretend we don’t know eachother, so we can flirt like when we first started dating”

Yang: “So, what happened”

Ruby: “It turns out Weiss had a few drinks to perk herself up before she arrived. She came over to me and asked if I was single. I tried to be suave and she started crying when I said I wasn’t”

<Yang and pregnant Weiss are attending a group pregnancy class. The class is being led by a rabbit faunus care practitioner named Velvet. All the prospective parents are gathered in a circle for a group discussion>

Velvet: “Today, we’re going to go through some of the changes you may experience during pregnancy. This will help you to know that these are all natural and part of this amazing journey we’re taking together. For example, some of you may have experienced, constipation”

<Yang puts her hand up>

Yang: “We’ve had that”

<Yang wraps her arm around Weiss, smiling warmly. Weiss’s face is an expression of ‘We? I don’t think WE’VE had that’>

<Velvet continues down her list>

Velvet: “Others of you may have experienced, sore nipples”

<Yang raises her hand again>

Yang: “We’re a martyr to it”

<Velvet continues down her list>

Velvet: “Some of you… may have experienced…”

<Velvets ears twitch as she reads the next line>

Velvet: “…Unusual discharge”

<Before she has a chance to do anything Weiss’s freshly manicured fingers burrow into Yangs thigh. Yangs hand remains firmly down>

<Yang filming herself on her scroll in the RWBY dorm>

Yang: “Welcome back to another episode of Quantum Physics with Yang. Today we’re going to be looking into ‘The Butterfly Effect’, the phenomenon whereby even seemingly insignificant actions can have a marked influence on the later state of a system. This effect is most well known in terms of weather, supposedly influencing tsunamis and tornados. Now, we here at Quantum Physics don’t have the moral bankruptcy or even the budget to start causing natural disasters for the sake of an online science video. Instead we will be demonstrating the effect in a more practical and some would say ethical way”

<The camera pans around to see Weiss lounging in her bed>

Yang: “Weiss?”

Weiss flatly: “What?”

Yang sneaks forward to whisper in her ear: “I love you”

<Weiss’s face erupts in redness>

Weiss: “What? How could you- Why… now?”

Yang into the camera: “And there you have it folks, showing how even the smallest actions can result in a far greater reaction”

Weiss: “Yang, what are you… I can’t believe you would tell me something like that on camera. I swear, I am going to take that stupid scroll and shove it so far-”

<Professor Drake leading another team building exercise with Team RWBY. Split into two groups (Ruby and Yang, Weiss and Blake) their task is to propose ideas for a team weekend based on an unlimited scope and budget>

Drake: “Ok so now that you’ve had an opportunity to discuss, let’s see your ideas. We’ll start with Weiss and Blake”

Weiss: “Well, based on the knowledge that we had an unlimited budget for this assignment we decided to think big. The weekend starts with a private flight to the finest restaurant in Haven on the cliffs overlooking the Vermillion Sea. We will stay overnight in a 5-star hotel and resort before taking an all-expense paid shopping trip of the artisan district and tour of the historic cultural landmarks of the city”

Yang: “That just sounds like a standard weekend for you, Weiss”

Drake: “Ok, Ruby and Yang. Let’s see what you have”

Yang: “Our idea is very simple. What’s the best time in people’s lives? Being a kid. And what’s the best part of being a kid? Games! So, I propose a weekend of fun with all the classics: Battleships, Snakes and Ladders, Minesweeper…”

Blake: “That seems a little unambitious for you, Yang”

Yang gets a devilish glint in her eye: “Not in my version it’s not”

<Yang pulls back the top sheet of her sketchpad to reveal their idea>

Yang: “Battleships, using Atlas surplus airships and ground-based air defence cannons. Snakes and ladders, with real ladders and slides shaped like snakes. Minesweeper. You plot out a grid, everyone chooses a plot to place their flag, and if you get it wrong the paint bomb goes off in your face. And finally, Chess. With real armies”

Drake: “Well, both groups have certainly come up with some interesting ideas. The purpose of this exercise is to show that it’s better to have a mix of people in a team. You need some people who are a bit more grounded and others who are more carefree”

Blake: “So, you’re saying we should improve our team cohesion with a relaxing spa evening after a day playing life-sized battleships?”

Drake: “It would certainly be a unique experience”

<Yang filming herself on her scroll in the RWBY dorm>

Yang: “Welcome back to another episode of Quantum Physics with Yang. Today we’re going to be discussing Quantum Entanglement, the phenomenon in which states of two or more objects become linked. The two objects can even affect eachother regardless of spatial distance. Once again, Quantum Physics finds itself in a position with neither the academic credentials or the funds to demonstrate this at the truly quantum level. Instead we’re going to do what we do best in such situations, improvise the heck out of it”

<Yang sneaks up on Blake laying in her bunk reading her book>

Blake, without glancing up from her book: “Yang, I swear if you try another one of those stupid experiments on me-”

<Yang reaches out to scratch Blake just behind her ear. Blakes entire body goes limp as both her ears snap upright in unison>

Yang: “And there you have it folks, by influencing one you create an immediate and equal reaction in the other. Now, I best end it there as I have no illusions about the outcome of entangling her claws with the most sensitive parts of my anatomy”

<Decades after the fall of Beacon a sand red coloured android is recovered and reactivated by a group of Huntresses. It soon emerged that it was a Grimm hunting android built by the legendary Ruby Rose who disappeared along with the rest of her team shortly after the defeat of Salem>

Team Leader: “You were built by Ruby. Do you remember anything about her, or her teammates?

Android: “Statement: Oh yes, my Master had quite the collection of tortured individuals that seemed unable to confront their basic personality conflicts. Let me cite some specific examples.

Mockery: Oh Master, I do not trust you, instead I will insist on continually running away at the first sign of emotional conflict as even my own Semblance is an embodiment of my innate spinelessness.

Mockery: Oh, Master, you cannot truly be leader because I insist it should be me despite my own inadequacy. But I refuse to admit it to you directly, instead remaining passive aggressive at every opportunity while secretly pining after you for an ill-conceived romance which we both know will never come to pass”
