Why hello there! Shade here with a new story! This will be a series of loosely related one shots that form a sort of sequel to my story Face to Face, albeit a more humorous take on it, with much more fluff and hopefully funny sections than before. You'll see many characters, including of course RWBY, along with JNPR, SSSN, and CFVY, and maybe even appearances by Azure and team ATOM (if I feel like it, or you guys really want to see them). And also, the thouroughly exasperated but always on hand owner of Weiss' preferred repair company, Sandy! I can't promise when this gets updated, as this will just be updated when the inspiration strikes, but I hope you enjoy it.
Note-Shoutout to other authors who have done similiar one shot series and inspired me to try my hand. Some of my favorites are Mikotyzini, Raziel12, and Knives4Cash, but many other amazing writers have showcased their skills and I just want to thank them for giving us such great stories and inspiring me to take up the pen...or keyboard as the case may be.
Disclaimer-I don't own RWBY. Sad, sad day.
Chapter 1 - Oh no, not again
Weiss Schnee. CEO of Schnee Dust Company, world-renowned huntress, had made a terrible mistake. She was a member of the illustrious Team RWBY, comprised of herself, her sister's-in-law Yang Xiao Long (the current heavyweight champion of kickboxing as well as being a huntress), Blake Belladonna, master infiltrator and accomplished Faunus Rights Activist, and her wife, the legendary Ruby Rose, scythe and sniper master.
At the tender age of 25, she was one of the most influential people on Remnant, and the youngest CEO the SDC had ever had. She and her team had been instrumental in saving Vale from the dastardly plans of Cinder Fall. She had been part of the task force, comprised of team's RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY who had brought down the massive abomination known as the Hydra, a mutant King Tajitu with an uncountable number of heads. They had fought off Cerberus, a legendary three headed Beowulf six times the size of any other Beowulf. They had brought crashing down the Mountain of Beasts, a massive nest of Grimm that had been a huge breeding ground for the creatures. And even after all that, Weiss' greatest foe was not a Grimm, nor Faunus, nor Man. It was the scroll, sitting innocently on her desk, as she stared at it in consternation, wishing she did not have to pick it up.
Weiss' father had passed away shortly before her graduation from Beacon, and upon his death, majority control of the company fell into her lap. Her younger sister Winter had held the reigns for her until she graduated, but immediately she fell into the posturing necessary to be CEO. At 21 years of age, she instantly set about making sweeping changes to the company (mostly about the Faunus employed there), with Blake's absolute approval. Though she had many detractors on the board, none would dare speak up when faced with the fury of both Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long. It had taken years, but she finally felt like the SDC had turned itself around, bringing Faunus and Human's closer together than ever before.
She still found time, somehow, to go on hunts with her team and her friends, mainly relying on her Assistant CEO, her little sister Winter who was happy to continue her plans even when she was out. But it had taken her only a few weeks after moving into the Schnee Estate to realize…it was too damned big! The entire estate was the size of a small village by itself, and even after moving Ruby in with her, and Winter living in the same building, it felt far too lonely. She struck upon the brilliant idea…why not invite her other teammates and friends to live with her? She was so used to dorm life at this point, it felt almost like old times. And she had assumed it would not be a big deal, half the time they were out on hunts or having fun…it would just be a nice place for her friends and family to live together in peace.
She was wrong. Oh sure, inviting teams JNPR, CFVY, and SSSN to join them had seemed fine at first. There was plenty of room, and all of them appreciated the fact that they did not have to worry about rent or food. The issue stemmed from the large amounts of energy that almost all of them possessed…Ruby was not the only weapons dork in the group. It turned out both Sage and Fox had some slight predilections towards explosive weaponry, and the three of them had already destroyed Ruby's workshop (and a multitude of other rooms) more than once.
Then you factored in Yang, Nora, and Sun, all of whom would be considered alcoholics if it weren't for their aura's preventing them from becoming addicted, spending half their downtime drinking, carousing, and generally causing mayhem.
Pyrrha and Yatsuhashi's sparring matches tended to level the nearby vegetation, having forced Weiss to build a sparring arena simply to contain those two. It didn't work very well. Coco was surprisingly non-destructive, mostly as she had lived a similar childhood as Weiss and was somewhat aware of how to behave. However, she doted on Velvet, and encouraged the shy rabbit faunus to happily explore her dust magic, which tended to end badly as Velvet was one who enjoyed experimentation with Dust. Velvet, being an extremely powerful dust mage, was quite capable of 'accidentally' leveling half of her estate. The forest behind her lawn had already been set on fire, frozen, electrocuted, and on one memorable occasion, been flooded.
The least destructive people who lived in Weiss' house were Blake, Scarlet, Jaune, and Neptune. However, all four of them tended to get tangled up in the messes their partners would drag them into, which lent to them generally being the ones to break the news to Weiss.
And that brought her back to her current predicament. Blake had just left her office, leaving Weiss' eye twitching for a moment, before she had glanced out her office balcony window to see that yes, Blake was telling the truth. Weiss stared down once more at her scroll, before sighing and hitting the speed-dial, knowing she was not going to enjoy explaining this to him.
One ring went by before it was picked up, a sighing man's voice coming across.
"Mrs. Schnee…to what do I owe the pleasure today?"
"Oh, don't start with the Mrs. Schnee thing, not today Sandy." The voice chuckled for a moment.
"Fine, Weiss. You called on the red line. I already have my people in position, but what is it we're repairing today?" Weiss sighed, placing her head in her carefully manicured hands, mumbling something Sandy clearly did not hear.
"Sorry, didn't get that, what was it?" Weiss removed her head from her hands and spoke in a deadpan tone.
"Do you know how to remove a volcano from a backyard?" Silence met her question, the seconds ticking on agonizingly as Weiss stared at her scroll, her cheeks slightly pinking in embarrassment as the silence continued. Finally, a cough sounded, before Sandy spoke, disbelief in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I think I heard you wrong. I could have sworn you said a volcano in your backyard, but that's purely impossible of course." Weiss didn't bother replying, waiting, before she heard the muffled cursing in the background. "By Dust how the hell did you get a volcano in your backyard?!"
"Yang."
"Yang is many things, but a magician is not-"
"Yang got Velvet drunk." The quality of silence coming from the other end of the line was quite indicative of how Sandy felt about that statement.
"…I take back my previous statement. All is explained. We'll be there in twenty." With a click, the call ended, leaving Weiss alone. She spun around in her seat, standing up and walking to her balcony, staring out the double glass balcony doors, eye twitching as she spied the massive mound of earth with bubbling, boiling magma stirring in the caldera as Yang casually sprinted across it, giggling to herself as she bounced off the dense surface of the magma, ignoring the heat entirely. Weiss sighed, closing her eyes tightly as she wondered how painful the bill for this was going to be. A loud explosion, followed by a series of shouted curses in the familiar tones of Ruby, Sage, and Fox came from far below Weiss' feet, shaking the foundation of the building. Weiss just sighed and spun back to her desk, lifting up her scroll to call Sandy back and inform him his work would be cut out for him this day.
