Weiss POV

"This is gonna be the best night ever!" Yang yelled as she and Ruby started preparing Team RWBY's dorm for JNPR's visit later. The sisters, along with Nora, had been planning some weird experiment of some kind all week and they wanted to show us all some groundbreaking discovery, apparently. If this turns out to be an elaborate scheme to piss me off...

"Wait, Yang, who has the thingie?" Ruby suddenly asked, really slowly and nervously. Anything Ruby described as a "thingie" and was worried about losing could not be a good thing for anyone.

"Don't worry, I got it," Yang reassured her.

"What exactly is this 'thingie'?" I asked the sisters.

"You'll see, Weiss, stop trying to ruin the surprise!" Ruby scolded.

"Keep it down, I'm trying to read," Blake told them.

"Just promise you'll stop when JNPR arrive," Yang pleaded. "I really want you to see this."

"Fine. But don't make too much noise before then."

"Deal. Ruby, you have food for everyone?" Yang asked.

"Craaap..." Ruby replied. "Berightbackseeyoualllaterbye!" she added, rushing out of the room.

"She's just raiding the kitchen," Yang explained, seeing my questioning look.

"WHAT?!" I yelled, causing the blonde to recoil. "Students aren't allowed in there, you brute!"

"That's why we sent Ruby. She's the fastest. We would've sent Blake because she's sneaky, but we knew she wouldn't have done it," the brawler pointed out.

"This had better be worth it," I told her, seething at the fact that she'd made her sister break the rules.

"Trust me. It will be." At that moment, Ruby burst back into the room with cookies and various fruits. Yang looked at her, impressed.

"They didn't even know I was there," the red-clad girl proclaims proudly. "The cooks will probably blame each other for the missing food."

"Windows and curtains closed?" Yang asked. When they weren't, she closed both. "Nora's bringing the pillows... I think that's everything."

"Are you going to explain what your experiment is?" I demanded.

"You'll see soon. They're coming at nine," Ruby answered. It was 8:55 in the evening, so I decided I could wait instead of pressing them. This experiment had me interested, though I would never admit it to the sisters. They'd been running off with Nora every night for the past week, coming back to the dorm long after Blake and I would have fallen asleep. Now, they were convinced they were going to get some scientific reward or something. I had no idea what they could have discovered, which annoyed me to no end.

As I wondered about these things, there was a knock on the door. Yang and Ruby excitedly opened it, revealing all four members of Team JNPR, with Nora practically bouncing on her feet. The redhead dragged Ren into the room and made him sit by Blake's bed before running into the hallway and returning with half a dozen giant pillows. Jaune and Pyrrha followed more civilly, holding hands, like they'd been doing all day, every day for a month now. As they sat down, Yang began rummaging in her dresser drawer for something.

"AHA!" she exclaimed, holding up what looked like a bong.

"Yang!" I yelled. "I am not getting high, no matter how good your supply is!"

"No, silly!" Nora told me. "This is way better." I sighed, and watched as Yang placed the bing between the eight of us and lit it.

"So, just breathe in. You'll get lightheaded and pass out. I'll let you figure out the rest," she told us. As she spoke, multicoloured smoke rose from the bong. Closer inspection revealed that it contained the colours of every main type of Dust. I briefly wondered about the health effects of breathing Dust fumes, then I realised Ruby, Yang and Nora must've been doing it for a week and they seemed fine. Idiots.

That thought distracted me enough that I didn't even realise I'd started breathing the fumes. Looking around, I saw the others mellowing out. Pyrrha had even begun to doze off, and was now sliding down Jaune's body to rest in his lap. I soon got lightheaded, like Yang had said I would, and my vision went double just before I passed out.

I don't know how much time passed before I came to, but no one else had moved and from the lack of light around the curtains, I judged it to still be dark out. I stood up and realised that something felt off. Everything looked the same, but my vision was surrounded by a strange white tint. My body also felt weightless, as though someone else were moving my limbs for me. I stepped forward and vaguely registered the fact that my foot went through Blake's leg. Thinking my eyes were deceiving me, I looked down and saw that I was translucent. My body was comprised of ethereal white smoke, swirling around and looking very odd. As an experiment, I tried moving my foot through Blake's leg again, and it passed through as though it were immaterial. It didn't take me long to figure out that this was dream. Dust couldn't turn people into ghosts.

Wait, if I'm a ghost, I thought, turning around to look at where I'd been lying. I screamed a bit when I saw my own unconscious body, very real and slowly breathing in and out.

"Jeez, Weiss. Do you have to be so loud?" Ruby's voice asked. I turned towards its source, and saw a red ghostly Ruby standing next to her physical body.

"What's happening, you dolt?" I asked her.

"The experiment. You can leave your body. Everything you see is exactly how it is in real life. You can spy on people, pass through walls... The only thing you can't do is interact with the real world," she explained.

"Is it safe?"

"Yeah, it's fine. When you want to wake up, just go back to your body and lie down. You'll wake up and everything will be back to normal." At that moment, everyone else's ghostly forms started to rise and take stock of the situation. I decided to explore the school, having never seen it at night before. I always stayed in my room after curfew.

After about an hour, I got bored and decided to go back to the real world. I headed back to Team RWBY's dorm and lay down in my physical body, allowing sleep to overtake me. A few hours later, I woke up and was immediately very confused.

A/N: Well, this was a random idea I had. Don't know how long it's gonna last. Decided to end on a cliffhanger. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. So, why was Weiss confused? Stay tuned to fined out... Anyway, leave a review and follow/favourite if you want.
