Ok, I've been really bad at posting lately (my other story, which I am avoiding because I don't want it to end), but I wrote a short little story for Thanksgiving that will kick off my collection of random Bumblebee and White Rose one shots!

I write these sporadically when I need a break from writing longer stories. They'll be pretty random as I get different prompts from different people, but will hopefully all be enjoyable in the Bumblebee and White Rose fluff department!

The four members of Team RWBY sat at their customary lunchroom table, enjoying their meal break from what was a grueling stretch of classes today. The cafeteria buzzed with the voices of all the other huntsmen-in-training currently enjoying their own meals, creating a comfortable level of noise that filled the room.

With Yang and Blake seated opposite of Weiss and Ruby, the four girls were eating in an easy silence before Yang decided to speak up – voicing what every other person in the school must be feeling.

"So lame that we even have classes today," she grumbled before sticking another forkful of noodles into her mouth. "Isn't it supposed to be a holiday?"

Weiss scowled at the blonde for speaking with her mouth full, but didn't make a comment. Instead, she tapped Ruby lightly on the arm in reprimand when the brunette spilled her own pile of noodles onto the table.

"Oh, I know!" Yang exclaimed, completely ignoring what was happening across the table from her as she clapped her hands together in excitement. "Let's all say something we're grateful for today."

Looking eagerly around the table, she grinned when she received two shrugs and one enthusiastic nod in approval.

"Ruby, you're our leader – you start," the blonde commanded. "What are you grateful for?"

"That's easy!" Ruby responded quickly, eyes lighting up when she thought of her answer.

Yang cut her off before she could continue.

"And you can't say Weiss."

"Oh…" Ruby replied, looking completely deflated. "Uh…well then…I'm grateful for…snow!"

Yang rolled her eyes at the response while Weiss looked rather amused.

"Jeez, way to suck up, Ruby," the blonde remarked with a snicker.

"Well what are you thankful for, Yang?" Weiss interjected, always the one to come to Ruby's aid.

"I'm thankful for this fine school – that is forward thinking enough to give our Faunus comrades equal opportunity to enroll and attend."

Now it was Weiss' turn to roll her eyes.

"Talk about sucking up," she mumbled quietly under her breath.

"What about you, Weiss?" Blake asked, giving the girl a look that told the heiress she had heard exactly what Weiss had just said.

"Well…I'm thankful for all the lovely nature we are blessed to be surrounded by," Weiss answered calmly.

"Nature…" Yang stated disbelievingly. "As in, flowers?"

"Flowers are a part of nature, you buffoon," Weiss responded hotly.

"Like roses," Yang prodded further, none to subtly pointing out that Weiss hadn't just pulled a fast one on her.

"Yes, like roses. Is there a problem with liking flowers?" Weiss shot back at her.

Yang smirked in response before letting it go and turning to look at Blake, who was absentmindedly curling one finger within a lock of Yang's hair.

"What about you, Blake? Anything you're particularly thankful for?"

Blake smiled demurely back at her.

"I'm thankful for the sun…and all the warmth it provides."

Yang beamed at the response while Weiss perfected her already patented eye roll and Ruby pretended to gag on her food.

Or…Ruby actually began to gag on her food, prompting Weiss to pound the girl's back roughly with one fist before Ruby could breathe again.

"Whew, thanks Weiss!" the brunette said before noticing two members of Team JNPR walking by their table on their way out of the cafeteria.

"Hey Nora! What are you grateful for today?" she asked loudly, waving one hand in order to catch the girl's attention.

"I'm grateful for Rennie!" Nora replied instantly, happily grabbing onto the boy's arm and leaning into his side.

"It has to be something besides Ren," Yang explained. "Otherwise, the game isn't fun."

Nora looked at all of them in confusion.

"Why not?"

"Because obviously you're grateful for him! We're looking for other things to be thankful for," she clarified further.

"Oh, well I'm thankful for a lot of things – sloths…grilled cheese…unlimited ammo…tape…but I'm most grateful for Rennie, so why shouldn't he be my first answer?" Nora asked innocently before Ren tugged gently on her elbow.

"Sorry guys, we're going to be late for class if we don't go get her books…" Ren explained apologetically as he dragged the girl away from them. The four girls remaining at the table looked back and forth at one another while listening to the fading rambling of other items Nora was also grateful for.

"Well…I suppose it's not such a bad thing if what you're most grateful for is obvious," Weiss commented slowly.

"Yeah, and just because it's obvious, doesn't mean we shouldn't say it out loud, right?" Ruby added.

A few moments of silence passed before Yang nodded her head in thoughtful agreement.

"I'm thankful for you, Blake!" she suddenly shouted, pulling her unsuspecting partner into a crushing hug.

"And I'm thankful for you," the Faunus girl responded softly, her smile hidden amongst Yang's mane of long, blonde hair.

"Weiss! You're the person I'm most grateful for!" Ruby exclaimed loudly, not to be outdone by her sister.

"Hey!" Yang yelled from across the table as Weiss gave Ruby a gentle hug and whispered 'you too' so only Ruby (and Blake) could hear.

"And you, Yang!" Ruby replied hastily. "And Blake, you too!"

"I'm grateful for all of you," Weiss said with a genuine smile.

"Yeah, I am too," Yang responded with a big grin. "Even Weiss."

Blake and Ruby broke into laughter while Yang dodged the carton of juice thrown across the table towards her.

Finished with their meal, they cleared off their table and headed towards their next class - walking shoulder to shoulder with the teammates and partners they were thankful for and fortunate to have.

Passing Ren and Nora in the hallway, Yang chuckled when the boy glowered at them, still listening to Nora's never-ending list parade on and on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating the holiday this week! Remember that sometimes even if someone knows you appreciate them, it's always nice to say it out loud. Just like I appreciate all you readers so so much!

Be more like Nora! :)
