Author's Note: Thank you Guest that corrected me on my misspelling of Zwei. I'm still new to writing in the RWBY universe so I will always appreciate any corrections you all give me.

Chapter 3

"Why do you think Ozpin wants to see us already this morning? Do think Glynda finished the cure for Ruby already?" A happy yip from Ruby followed. All four members of Team RWBY were riding up in the elevator to the headmaster's office. Yang was holding Ruby in her arms in the front while Blake and Weiss behind her.

"Yang while I would like to hope so, it hasn't even been twenty-four hours yet. I doubt even Glynda would be able to create a solution that quick." Ruby's excitement clearly fell away with a small whimper.

Weiss noticed the change immediately, "Ruby I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dampen your mood." "I know Weiss. I just really want to be back to normal."

"Weiss did have a good point though; we need to look at this more skeptically. While we all want Ruby to be back to normal this is probably about something else."

Yang let out a sigh, "Yeah you're both right. Sorry Rubes." Ruby responded with a short bark and a lick to Yang's hand. Yang giggled at Ruby's antics as the elevator arrived at the top floor.

Yang took one step out of the elevator before a familiar voice boomed, "Yang Xiao-Long!" The blonde girl froze in her tracks, eyes wide in surprise. Sitting in front of the headmaster's desk were the two men she least wanted to see, Taiyang Xiao-Long and Qrow Branwen. "Oh Yang, don't tell me you never called them..."

The two men stood and turned towards the blonde. Yang quickly tried to backpedal into the elevator, but her confused teammates blocked her escape.

"Don't you dare try to escape! We need to have a conversation with you." Yang let out a frustrated sigh as she approached her father, holding onto Ruby for dear life. As she approached Yang noticed Zwei patiently watching the events unfold before him.

Qrow seemed to want to start the conversation, "Now Yang, what have we told you repeatedly when you and Ruby were put on the same team?"

Yang glanced over to Ozpin who sat behind his desk with an amused look on his face. Yang looked at Qrow and the two locked eyes before she answered, "If anything ever happened to us, we would let you know."

Taiyang took a step closer to his daughters, "And what did you not do?"

As Yang turned to her father, "I didn't tell you that something happened to Ruby."

Taiyang let out a sigh, "Do you have any idea how worried I was when Ozpin called me to let me know that progress was being made to cure Ruby's current condition?"

"I'm sorry. I know I messed up. I should have called you; should have told you about Ruby's condition myself."

Qrow interjects, "Oh you still get to tell us." Yang looked at Qrow, then to Ozpin, confusion clear on her face. Ozpin spoke up, the amused facial expression never disappearing, "Miss Xiao-Long, as a teammate and most immediate relative, it falls to you to inform the rest of your family of Ruby's condition. I would not dare infringe on the responsibilities of a student."

Yang mouthed 'seriously' to the headmaster who only nodded in response. Yang let out a groan as she turned to Qrow. Yang carefully handed the husky puppy to her uncle who took hold of her.

"Dad... Uncle Qrow..." Yang gestured to the puppy, "This is Ruby." Taiyang quickly took his seat, shock apparent on his face.

Qrow held Ruby up in front of him and studied her carefully. "Hey pip-squeak." Ruby growled at her nickname, then playfully barked at her uncle.

Taiyang looked over to his daughter-turned-puppy, "How did this happen?"

Ozpin seemed to finally take on a serious demeanor, "Miss Rose found herself in the middle of another dust shop robbery. The White Fang involved had developed a new chemical that can throw a hunter's aura into chaos and incorporated it into a dust blunderbuss. While her aura was unstable the nature dust in the blast infused into her system, and with presumably some of a husky's fur, caused a reaction that transformed her into a husky puppy."

"And you said Glynda is working on a cure?" Taiyang's voice clearly showed his concern for his daughter.

"Yes, but she needs assistance in gathering more information, which is actually why I called you all here. You all will be raiding the facility where this new serum was created. Your main goal is to retrieve all data involved in the creation of this new serum so a stealth approach would be your best option. From there, Qrow will determine the course of action as mission leader."

"What about Ruby and Zwei?"

"They will both stay here under your care Miss Schnee."

Yang giggled, "Poor Weiss, being left behind with two adorable dogs while her team goes without her. What ever will she do?"

"Shut up you blonde oaf."

"Yang leave the girl alone, we have planning to do." Qrow walked to the heiress and handed over Ruby. "But do take care of my niece."

"Of course sir."

"Oh and Yang, you're not off the hook yet."

"Danggit..."

With the rest of her team gone Weiss sat at the desk in their dorm, having chosen to focus on her school work. Ruby and Zwei seemed to be keeping each other company well enough, if the playful barking behind her was any indication. A quick glance occasionally revealed that the two gleefully chasing each other when one got ahold of Zwei's bone chew toy. 'Ugh how can Ruby willfully put that in her mouth? Oh well, as long as she's having fun.'

Weiss looked away from the two to look at the dresser behind them. Ruby's cloak laid carefully folded atop the dresser. Weiss looked between it and it's transformed owner as a plan began to form. The heiress quickly turned back to her computer and started ordering everything she'd need.

Once done with ordering Weiss drew her first sketch for her new project. The only thing missing were the measurements. Weiss shuffled through the drawers of her desk until she found a fitness tape measure. Looking across the room showed Zwei laying on his side tired as Ruby bounced around him with the toy in her mouth. The scene looked like Ruby was taunting him with her victory.

Weiss crossed the room and sat on her knees next to the two dogs. Ruby dropped the toy next to Zwei before she approached her partner. Once in front of the heiress, Ruby sat down waiting.

"Ruby I want to make you something, but it's a surprise. Can I take your measurements?" Ruby nodded in agreement. With a smile on her face, Weiss quickly got to work measuring and recording the lengths she would need.

As Weiss finished the sound of someone knocking on the door grabbed her attention. 'I know I ordered the delivery to be express but that was quick!' Opening the door revealed not only the delivery boy, but Coco and Velvet waiting patiently. Weiss accepted the delivery and brought the package into the room placing it on her bed.

Weiss turned back to the door to see the partners still waiting. "Hey Coco, Velvet, what are you doing here?"

"Well Weiss, it seems Velvet here has a small problem. She and Red were supposed to meet in the library to study together, but your team leader was a no show." Weiss glanced at her partner to see that she was laying down and covering her eyes with one of her paws.

Velvet spoke up before Coco could continue, "I'm not mad at her, just worried. Ruby has never stood me up for a study session, so when she didn't show for an hour I was concerned for her. Is she alright?"

Weiss hesitated for a moment, "How about you two come in and make yourselves comfortable? I'll explain everything, but I don't think Ruby will be much help for you today for studying."

"So Red got turned into a puppy by the White Fang and the rest of your team in currently raiding a facility for materials needed to turn her back?" Coco and Velvet were sitting on Weiss' bed while the heiress sat on Blake's. Ruby sat carefully on the faunus' lap while Zwei laid in the middle of the room.

"That about sums it up. Hopefully Glynda will have a cure soon."

"I dunno, she makes a rather adorable pet. Maybe you should keep her." Ruby let out a growl at Coco's comment. 'I am no one's pet!'

Velvet was quick to chide her leader while trying to comfort Ruby, "Oh Coco don't be like that!"

Coco raises her hands in surrender, "Alright calm down, I was just joking."

A thought occurred to Weiss, "Hey Coco, you're good with fashion. Have you ever made clothes for pets?"

"I can't say I have, but it can't be too difficult. Whatcha makin'?" Weiss simply hands the older girl her sketch, careful to make sure Ruby couldn't see. "Oh, I see. That would be child's play to do."

Weiss looked away trying to hide her embarrassment, "Well, I've never sewn before. I bought everything I would need but if you're willing some help would be appreciated."

Coco looked to her partner, "Velv, you willing to chill for a bit?" The girl shrugged, "Sure. I'll keep Ruby company."

"Thank you Coco."

"No problem princess. Let's get to work."

30 Minutes Later...

"And Done!" Coco exclaimed. Weiss had watched the process carefully, committing it to memory in case she ever wanted to do something similar again.

"I must say, I'm impressed. You did a wonderful job, and the letters look amazing. May I look at it?"

"Why thank you and sure." Coco hands the new piece of clothing to the heiress and she looks over the cloak that she designed. The cloak was built around a small red dog collar with a clip in the front. The cape is long enough to reach Ruby's tail and on the cape were two embroidered letters, 'RR'. The hood should rest just above Ruby's eyes and in the hood were two holes for the pup's ears.

"Let's see if it fits." Weiss turned towards her bed where Ruby was bouncing around with her tail wagging with glee. As Weiss neared Ruby sat patiently, allowing the heiress to easily fit the collar to her neck. Once the cloak was in place Weiss raised the hood, the holes aligning perfectly with Ruby's ears.

"It's perfect Coco! I can't thank you enough for your help."

"Anytime princess."

The door to the dorm opened to reveal Blake and Yang. The pair noticed their leader's new attire, and Yang let out a squeal. "That's so cute!" Yang crossed the room in an instant and scooped up her sister.

Weiss turned to Blake, "So how was the raid?"

"Flawless. There weren't even guards, just the researchers. We just delivered the research materials to Ms. Goodwitch."

"That's great! Hopefully we can turn Ruby back soon."

Coco and Velvet said their goodbyes and left team RWBY to their nightly rituals. Weiss removed Ruby's cloak and folded it atop the dresser as Blake excited their shared restroom.

Before Yang went for her shower, a thought came to her. "Hey guys, should we give Ruby a bath?"

'Yang don't you dare...'

"It wouldn't hurt to make sure we keep her fur clean." Ruby growled. 'Why Weiss? Of all times to agree with her, NOW is when you you choose to?'

Yang grabbed Ruby and made her way to the bathroom despite the pup's resistance, "Come on Ruby, Big Sis Yang is here to keep you clean."

'I am going to get back at all of you for this...'

AN #2: Next time we'll see what Ruby has planned for revenge against her team.
