*Chibis takes place in the team's third year. The events of the Vytal Festival are pretty much ignored. This is mostly humor and fluff with a small bit of plot. Enjoy!
"Ruby! Get back here!" Weiss yelled as she chased after the red blur. "We need to study!" Weiss yelled as she followed Ruby into the large courtyard.
"Catch me first!" Ruby laughed, turning around and bouncing back a few steps as Weiss used her glyphs to close the distance between the two.
"You, dolt! Will you stop playing games!" Weiss yelled as she tried to grab her partner only to stumble as she dodged.
"C'mon Weiss. It's a free day." Ruby said, absently dodging the white haired young woman's grabs. "Woah!" Ruby said as she backed up into someone else causing them both of them to stumble and Weiss to bump into Ruby. In the confusion, Weiss saw a strange jar of purple dust burst over them. Without thinking, Weiss created a glyph beneath them in an attempt to get them away from the dust.
"Weiss, look out!" Ruby shouted, using her semblance to try and get them both out as well. In the mess, the dust settled around them and a bright light eclipsed over them.

"Yang, you okay?" Blake asked as Yang pulled out her scroll and read something on it with a scowl on her usually cheerful face.
"Professor Ozpin wants to meet with us now." Yang said as she pushed her scroll into her pocket. Blake nodded, not saying another word as she followed Yang to where they had left Bumblebee during their date in the part.
"What do you think they need us for?" Blake asked as she slipped her own helmet on and climbed on the back of the bike behind Yang.
"Don't know but I bet it has something to do with Ruby and Weiss." Yang joked as she kicked the bike into gear and shot off. Blake had been surprised and clung to Yang in fear earing a loud laugh that even Blake could hear over the roar of the bike.
….
It had taken them twenty minutes of Yang's 'safe' driving for them to get back to the school. After sharing a quick kiss while putting Bumblebee in a small shed, the duo made their way to Professor Ozpin's trading ideas on why they would have been summoned.
"Could be because of our late nights." Yang said suggestively and grinned when she noticed the mild glare Blake was giving her.
"If it is, it's because of your loud calls. Last night being a perfect example." Blake purred in Yang's ear, leaning close and gently biting the other woman's ear as she blushed and her semblance started to burn the space between them. Smirking at the reaction she had gotten from the blond, Blake stepped back and turned her face forward to look at the blurry reflections starring back at her. As she did she felt a pair of eyes burning into her back and turned to look back at Yang, who's eyes were directed on her but a bit lower.
"Just enjoying the view." Yang said with a grin when Blake looked back at the other young woman. "Looks like we're here." She said as the elevator dinged and opened into the Headmaster's office.
"Miss Belladonna, Miss Xiao Long. A pleasure to have you join me." Ozpin greeted the two as they walked in with mirrored looks of confusion. "Please, have a seat." Ozpin said, motioning to the two chairs in front of him.
"You're probably wondering why I asked you two here." Ozpin said as Blake and Yang sat down and shared a look.
"It's one of the things we've wondered." Blake said slowly and waited as Ozpin took a sip of his ever present coffee.
"You got a new mug!" Yang exclaimed, pointing at the mug that, instead of sporting the Beacon Crest, had a picture of what looked like a maple leaf, a snowflake, a flower, and a sun on it.
"Yes, indeed. I believe I owe that to young Miss Rose." Ozpin said, earning another confused look from the duo. "Before we go any further, I would like to ask you both something very important." He said with a stare that had both Yang and Blake mentally going over anything that would have gotten them in trouble.
"If faced with a situation where you had to care for children, would you be able to?" He asked making both young women freeze in surprise.
"What?" Yang asked in complete confusion.
"I'm sorry sir, but what?" Blake asked as well, her mind trying to catch up at the same time as it stopped in response to the question.
"Ruby, come back!" A familiar voice called out just as a door that they hadn't noticed burst open and a red bundle ran into the room chased by Pyrrha and Nora. Immediately, Yang and Blake snapped to attention, shifting into fighting stances as they watched their friends.
"I'll get you, you little cookie thieves!" Nora laughed as Yang and Blake watched in stunned silence as both of their friends chased around two toddlers with Ruby's cloak.
"Nooo!" One of the toddlers yelled with a laugh as they both ran behind the desk and Ozpin. Immediately both young women froze, afraid of what would happen if they continued their chase.
"Nora? Pyrrha? What?" Yang sputtered as Blake blinked and turned to look at Ozpin in hopes he would explain the situation.
"Hello Yang, Blake." Pyrrha greeted a little breathless as Nora grinned and bounced in place.
"Hey guys!" She greeted while Blake let her eyes fall down to look into a pair of wide blue eyes that were watching her fearfully from behind Ozpin's desk. As Blake made eye contact, the blue eyed toddler, that looked maybe five years old, darted backwards with a soft gasp that Blake probably would have missed.
"Headmaster…" Blake trailed off, not even sure she could finish her sentence as a familiar red hood bounced up and a tiny arm patted the top of the desk for something. With a nonchalant sigh, Ozpin slid a small stack of blank paper and a few pens to the hand without even glancing at it.
"What is going on?!" Yang snapped, her eyes showing how annoyed she was as she turned from Pyrrha and Nora to glare at Ozpin for answers.
"Yang, I am so sorry." Pyrrha blurted out before Ozpin could speak, earning Yang's burning glare. "We were returning from a mission and had found a strange Dust so we were carrying a sample of it to Headmaster Ozpin when Ruby and Weiss ran into us." Pyrrha explained in a rush and Blake couldn't blame the red haired warrior as she began to sweat under the glare.
"How does that explain the two kids behind Ozpin!" Yang growled and Blake carefully looked out of the corner to watch the two toddlers carefully peeked out from behind the desk with the now giant red cloak draped over them both. The smaller of the two, appeared four years old and was watching Blake with silver eyes, while the blue eyed toddler leaning over her back appeared five and was watching Yang closely.
"They're Ruby and Weiss." Blake spoke up earning a loud cheer from Nora as she 'figured it out'. "Headmaster, is that why you asked us about raising children?" Blake asked and felt a small flare of annoyance as Ozpin nodded at her with a slight smile.
"Are they going to be stuck like that?" Yang asked as she pinched the bridge of her nose while Pyrrha heaved a sigh of relief and Nora patted her on the back.
"No. Some of the Dust was salvaged and Dr. Oobleck is currently trying to figure out how we can reverse the effects. As for Miss Schnee and Miss Rose, they will be under your care until either we can reverse the effects or until something else comes up." Ozpin told them as the red covered toddlers ran from behind the desk and bumped into the back of Blake's legs before squealing and separating.
Blake couldn't help the small smile that graced her features as Ruby ran away from Blake, pulling the beloved cloak off of Weiss and tripping her into falling at Blake's feet. Now that she wasn't hidden, Blake could see that Weiss was wearing the white blouse that went with the Beacon uniform, though now it was held in place with what looked like several staples and a few clips. The much smaller Weiss, gasped and watched Ruby run into Pyrrha with a hurt look before seeming to realize she was still next to Blake and looked up at her with wide curious, and slightly fearful blue eyes. Blake knelt down as Weiss stood up and carefully dusted herself off, and looked the tiny Schnee over. Weiss no longer had the scar over her eye and her cheeks were no longer as sharp, instead her face was rounder with baby fat. Blake smiled gently at the tiny child and gently brushed her free hair back behind Weiss's ear. The next moment surprised the Faunus because Weiss decided she liked the older woman and calmly moved into Blake's space, curling up on Blake's folded knees without a word.
"Looks like someone likes you." Yang teased as Blake looked down at Weiss in surprise while the now toddler teammate just stared back. Ruby meanwhile was trying to pull herself out from around Pyrrha's legs without leaving the cloak earning a loud laugh from Nora, embarrassed apologies from Pyrrha, and quiet snickers from Yang as she watched the 'Invincible Girl' being defeated by a red cloak and a toddler.
"Wait, Ruby do you know who I am?" Yang asked as she freed Pyrrha and lifted the tiny leader into up in front of her. Ruby looked at her with a frown, cocking her head to the side as she looked at Yang before reaching forward and grabbing her hair. In one quick movement, Ruby yanked as hard as she could, earning a loud yell for her efforts.
"Yang!" Ruby cheered, still holding a length of hair as she grinned at Yang.
"Ruby! You know better!" Yang snapped at the toddler, freeing her hair from the toddler's fingers and wincing as she looked at the dirty hand. "Nora." Yang growled, turning to look at the orange haired hammer user, who was doing her best to look innocent.
"Headmaster, I can understand leaving Ruby with Yang due to them being sisters. But what about Weiss? Shouldn't her father or sister want her to keep her safe?" Blake asked as she pulled Weiss off of her lap and put her on her hip, knowing if the little heiress remembered anything she would have already thrown a fit at being treated like a toddler and held.
"To answer your question, Miss Belladonna. Miss Schnee's father was unreachable and her sister is currently unavailable. If you do not feel you are capable of caring for her, I am sure I can arrange for her to be sent home." Ozpin said, distracting Yang from tearing into Nora for giving Ruby sticky syrup.
"Alone?" Blake and Yang asked in shock, would Ozpin really do that?
"If there are no other options, then yes." Ozpin told her bluntly and Blake tightened her arms around the toddler while Weiss looked around.
"No way, she's staying with us. Besides, I've taken care of Ruby, how hard can Weiss be?" Yang asked as Ruby grabbed her necklace and turned to Weiss with it, earning a wince from Yang at the movement.
"I see," Ozpin said in amusement as the young women all laughed quietly. "Now, if you would. I have a meeting to attend." He said as his desk lit up with a call. The group quickly left, leaving Ozpin alone long enough to sigh and shake his head before he answered the call.
…..
"Okay, first things first. Who fixed their clothes?" Yang asked as they made their way to their dorm, ignoring the strange looks they got along the way.
"That would be Nora. It seemed to work and neither have complained about it, so I thought it would be fine until they received better clothing." Pyrrha answered as Nora made funny faces at a giggling Ruby while taking pictures on her scroll.
"Where are Jaune and Ren?" Blake asked as she absently rubbed circles in Weiss's back as the small child burrowed herself into the Faunus' neck to hide.
"Getting clothes. Ren made all of us cookies before he left." Nora spoke up, pausing her funny face game with Ruby to look at Blake with a wide smile. "Weiss didn't eat very many though." Nora added after a minute, frowning slightly before shaking it off when she saw Ruby trying to make a funny face.
"So where did you guys find the Dust?" Blake asked as they walked up the long flights of stairs, mentally wishing for an elevator.
"We were on the outskirts of Sector 5 a little farther than you guys were in first year and Ren found a small vein of it in the nest of Ursa we cleared out. We didn't recognize it so we decided to bring a bit back for Professor Ozpin to see if he could identify it." Pyrrha said her eyes trailing to look at Weiss as the quiet child idly ran her hand through Blake's hair with her eyes closed. "Do you know if it's normal for children to be so quiet? Ruby seems very energetic." Pyrrha asked in concern and Blake shrugged, turning to look at Yang as they walked.
"Rubble has always been hyper, even more when she gets sugar." Yang said, shooting a look back at Nora before looking over at Weiss with concern as well. "Weiss might just be tired or shy. She probably needs a nap then she'll be fine." Yang said with a shrug before gently slapping at Ruby's hands.
"No hair pulling. That's the second warning, time out when we get to our room." Yang told the tiny leader, earning a teary eyed look in return that made the other three young women awe.
"Sorry," Ruby said, looking genuinely sorry as she looked at Yang. Nora actually 'awed' as Ruby leaned forward and gently kissed Yang's hair and patted it.
"You still have time out, but thank you." Yang muttered, blushing slightly at how cute her little was as they finally reached their hall and made their way to their dorm. "Now, you stay here." Yang said, dragging one of their desk chairs to a small corner between bookshelves and setting Ruby in it.
"I said sorry!" Ruby whined as she moved around in the chair, trying to get down only to have Yang push her back in it with every attempt.
"I can always make it five minutes." Yang warned and nodded when Ruby stopped trying to get down and just pouted at her.
"You seem experienced." Pyrrha observed as she looked over at Ruby curled up in the chair then at Yang.
"Ruby wasn't a trouble maker but she's no stranger to time out. Me and Dad have had to put her there more time then I care to count. I guess I just slipped back into doing that when she pulled on my hair." Yang said with a shrug before looking around for Nora.
"She went to our room to see if Ren was back." Pyrrha told her when she noticed the question in Yang's eyes. "If you need any help, we'll be glad to do so." Pyrrha offered as she gave Yang a smile.
"Yeah, thanks." Yang told her as the young woman left.
"Can I leave yet?" Ruby asked quietly, drawing Yang's attention to her much younger sister.
"Promise to be good?" Yang asked, earning a rapid nod from the tiny red head. "Alright, but next time I'm taking away the cookies." Yang warned and had to fight back a smile at the look of fear on her sister face.
"I promise to be good!" Ruby said, crossing her heart and trying to be serious before climbing down from the chair and running over to where Blake sat on her bed with Weiss curled on top of her. "She sleeping?" Ruby asked Blake in a loud whisper, earning an amused smile from the Faunus as Weiss opened one eye to look at Ruby.
"Let's play." Ruby said, grabbing onto Weiss's shirt and pulling on it. At first Weiss didn't budge, instead leaning away from Ruby and trying to roll off of Blake, then she seemed to give up and just let Ruby pull her off of the young woman.
Yang and Blake watched as Ruby dragged Weiss all over the room, Ruby seeming to find everything an adventure while Weiss quietly watched.
"What are we going to do?" Yang asked as she walked over to Blake's bed and dropped down at her girlfriend's feet. "Who's going to watch them while we have classes? How are we going to keep them from creating trouble? How are they going to catch up when they return to normal?" Yang asked starring at the underside of her bunk while Blake watched Ruby crawl under Weiss's bunk. Weiss herself looked over at Blake then bent down and looked at Ruby.
"C'mon! Look what I found!" Ruby's voice said from under the bed, her cloak trailing in a red puddle behind her.
"We'll figure it out. Team JPNR has an off period while we're in Weapons Class. So we can ask them to watch over them and the other classes we can see if we can bring them along." Blake told Yang before her attention was tagged by the sound of giggles coming from under the opposite bed. Yang lifted her head a bit to look over at the opposite bed, smiling at the sight of Weiss's feet sticking out and Ruby's cloak spread under them. "They seem easy to entertain at least." Blake added as they both watched Weiss scoot further under the bed followed by the telltale sound of a crinkling wrapper.
"Does Ruby have a secret stash like you?" Blake asked, looking over at Yang as the blond stood up and walked over to the bed.
"Hey Ruby, what'cha got under there?" Yang asked, kneeling down to look under the bed as two voices squealed and the cloak tried to move forward.
"Nothin'!" Ruby said followed by the loud sound of a wrapper being squished.
"Sure sounds like something. Are you two eating cookies?" Yang asked, peeking under the bed to look at Weiss and Ruby.
"No," Ruby said slowly, looking first at Weiss then at Yang with her hands holding something to her chest.
"Weiss?" Yang asked, trying a different tactic and turning to look at the white haired heiress. Weiss just looked at Yang with wide eyes and puffed out cheeks. It took everything in Yang to lean back before she burst out laughing at the sight she had seen. Weiss looked like a chipmunk with blue lips and blue pieces sticking to her face.
"What is it?" Blake asked, standing up and joining Yang on the floor as the blond fell over laughing.
"HAHAHA-'eiss! HAHAHAHA!" Yang tried to say between laughs as Blake just gave her a confused look and decided to look for herself. Peeking under the bed, she saw Ruby holding what looked like a bag half full of blue jelly while Weiss held a mostly empty one with her cheeks stuffed full.
"Alright you two, hand it over." Blake said, holding out her hand as Ruby dropped her head guiltily and obediently dropped the bag in her hand while Weiss gave her a glare and pulled the bag close. "Weiss," Blake said in a warning tone as she gave the little heiress her own glare. "Hand it over." Blake demanded, dropping one of the confiscated bags behind her before reaching for the one in Weiss's hands.
"Nein!" Weiss said angrily pulling further away from Blake and curling around her bag of candy. (No)
"What'd she say?" Yang asked as she crawled half under the bed to join Blake. "Nine?"
"Mein!" Weiss told them as Blake and Yang shared a confused look. (Mine)
"I'm not sure, but I understood that." Blake said and crawled further under the bed to grab onto Weiss. "Help me get them out from under here." The Faunus muttered as Weiss crawled away from her.
"Ruby, come here." Yang told her younger sister, reaching forward to grab a fist full of the cloak and pull the tiny leader out.
"Noooo," Ruby whined as Yang dragged her out from beneath the bed while Blake crawled further under in order to grab Weiss.
"Oh Oum! you're filthy!" Yang said as she pulled Ruby out and groaned at the sticky mess she had covered herself in and the dirt she had somehow managed to find and get on her face.
"No, I'm not." Ruby said with a shake of her head patting her shirt and showing Yang her hands. "See?" Ruby said as Yang leaned back away from the sticky limbs.
"Nien!" Weiss yelled from under the bed as Blake began to scoot out, distracting Yang with her movements.
"Stop trying to hit me!" Blake told the little heiress as she finally pulled both of them out from beneath the bed, Weiss still clinging tightly to a bag of what looked like blue gummies. The heiress resembled Ruby a bit with the mess she had become, though her hair looked more tangling and she had some of the jelly candy stuck to her face. "Yang," Blake grunted as she pulled a fighting Weiss into her lap and tried to take the bag of candy from Weiss. Immediately Yang put Ruby down and moved to help Blake.
"Weiss, let go of the candy." Yang said, using the same tone she used for Ruby. Weiss stopped fighting and glared up at Yang, hugging the bag of candy like a doll.
"Hi!" Ruby's voice chirped happily causing Yang and Blake to look up at the open door to see Jaune standing there with a few bags in one hand while he used the free one to lift Ruby up onto his hip.
"Jaune!" Yang said in surprise as she watched Ruby mess with the strings on the blonde boy's jacket.
"What are you," Blake questioned before she was distracted by Weiss fighting her hold again. "Weiss," she started only to stop when she realized the girl wasn't actually fighting to be free but was trying to turn around and the cursed bag of candy was on the floor. Dazed, Blake turned Weiss around and let her wrap her arms around the young woman's neck while Yang and Jaune talked.
"I was just bringing the clothes me and Ren got by. Looks like you may need them." Jaune joked as he motioned to where Ruby was now perched in Yang's arms.
"You have no idea." Yang groaned and smiled at Blake as she walked. "Got the candy?" She asked after looking Weiss over.
"She dropped it actually." Blake told her as she took the bags from Jaune and put them down on Weiss's bed.
"She still not talking?" Jaune asked with a sympathetic frown to Blake.
"Actually, she got really mad earlier and said 'nine' and 'mine'." Yang told Jaune as Ruby laid her head on Yang's shoulder.
"That's more than what she said for us." Jaune said with a shrug and looked over at where Weiss had her face buried into Blake's neck. "Anyway, it's my night to cook. Do you want to join us in the kitchen?" Jaune asked looking at both young women for an answer.
"I don't know, I was thinking we'd get something from the cafeteria," Yang said looking over at Blake then at Ruby as she felt the girl snuggle into her neck. "Then after I'd get ahold of my dad and Uncle Qrow." She added, shifting Ruby in her arms as she felt her sister gently play with a few strands of hair.
"I insist, it's just spaghetti. Plus, it's been awhile since we all had a big family meal." Jaune said with a smile just as a crash came from across the hall. "See you guys in an hour." Jaune said as he darted to his team room, leaving Blake and Yang with their new charges.
"We should get them cleaned up." Blake said after a minute as she tried to put Weiss down and failed. "Weiss, let go." Blake mumbled in the girl's ear and tried again to pull the girl off of her.
"First she won't come near you, now she won't let you go." Yang teased with a grin before encountering the same issue when she tried to pull Ruby off of her.
"You were saying." Blake deadpanned as Yang frowned and looked at the grinning red head holding onto her.
"Oh hush Kitty Cat, who's getting the first bath?" Yang asked as she walked over to the bed holding the clothes and started shifting through the clothes Jaune and Ren had bought. "Oh, this is going to be cute." Yang giggled as she held up a small pale blue shirt with a 'I'm the Princess' printed across it. Blake rolled her eyes knowing what her girlfriend was thinking, though she was smiling as well. Both women went through the four bags of clothes, finding two sets of pajamas for each child; a nightgown and a pant/shirt set, eight long sleeve shirts, two jackets with fur lined hoods; one red and the other blue, four skirts with leggings, two pairs of pants, two pairs of small light up shoes with Velcro straps, and underwear and socks for both.
"I'll give Weiss one, then you can give Ruby one." Blake said as she grabbed a light purple night gown that had little white flowers on it and shifted Weiss in her arms. "Maybe she'll let go then." Blake muttered as she went past Yang, jumping when she felt a hand slap her behind.
"Yang!" Blake hissed as Yang laughed and used the other woman's sharp spin to plant a kiss on her lips. "You're still in trouble." Blake muttered in the kiss and gave Yang a glare as she pulled away with a suggestive look while Ruby clapped her hands over her eyes and whispered 'ew'.
"Aw, c'mon Bellabooty." Yang laughed and held up a red night gown with a beagle on the front. "We could always cut the time and just clean them together. They're kids and before that they were crushing on each other harder than Jaune and Pyrrha were first year." Yang said as she adjusted Ruby on her hip.
"…If they remember this after they turn back." Blake warned though she did let Yang follow her into the mutual bathroom.
"Then we'll deal with it." Yang soothed Blake and gave her a quick kiss before starting the water in the small bathtub that was plenty big for two toddlers. "Ruby you need a bath." Yang said, gently pulling the way to big cloak off and dropping it in the hamper as the tiny red head played with her necklace.
"Don't wanna." Ruby moaned as she looked around for her cloak, twisting around and leaning back in Yang's arms and making it difficult for Yang to hold her.
"It needs a wash." Yang told her as she set her down on the counter next to the sink and pulled off her shirt.
"Weiss, you need a bath." Yang heard Blake say and glanced over at Blake trying to detach the child from her once again. Yang frowned and looked at Ruby in front of her then back at Weiss. Without a word, she gently moved Ruby to the tub and put her down while turning the water off before turning to Blake and gently grabbing Weiss. "Yang," Blake said a question in her eyes as Yang used her thumbs to gently rub Weiss's back. Weiss immediately loosened her hold on Blake to turn her head back to look up at Yang before her arms slipped off of Blake.
"Bath time Princess." Yang said as she shifted the child to one arm and pulled her shirt off with the other.
"You've got to teach me that." Blake said as she watched Yang drop Weiss down next to Ruby in the warm bath.
"I didn't think it'd work." Yang said with a soft laugh as she kneeled down on the outside of the tub and grabbed a bottle of shampoo. "You gonna help?" Yang asked and grinned as Blake knelt down next to her with a small wash cloth and a bottle of soap.
