A/N: This is the UPDATED version of this story. The old one has been deleted as it was horrible. The plot is mostly the same, just with a few changes and more detail.

It was a cold, autumn night and the halls of Beacon Academy were quiet as Ruby quietly tiptoed down them as she returned from her late night training session with Jaune. She wanted to get him up to scratch in time for the Vytal festival, should their team have any chance of getting through. Sure, Pyrrha could carry the team single-handedly, but Jaune had confessed to Ruby that he wanted to be more help, and to become a better leader.

The pair had gotten a little carried away and, after some much needed first aid, they parted their ways and headed off. Before returning to her dorm, however, Ruby made a quick stop at one of the vending machines to get a late night snack. After all, training was hard work even for someone as skilled as she was.

As Ruby quietly entered the dormitory, she quickly discarded of her cookie wrapper in a nearby waste bin. The room was warm and dark, a nice change to the cold and brightness of the dorm's hallway. The only sound in the room was Yang's on-and-off snoring, but having grown up with it it didn't phase Ruby much.

Assuming everyone was asleep and not bothering to check due to her sheer tiredness, Ruby went over to her side of the chest of drawers and got out her pyjamas. She quietly closed the draw, then placed her clothes on top of the drawer and started to strip out of her clothing. Once her training clothes were scattered on the floor, Ruby put on her pyjamas, and shivered slightly as the cool fabric touched her slightly warm skin. She made quick work of scooping up her clothing from the floor and getting into the wash basket before she made her way over to her bed. She was so tired she hadn't even noticed how messy their room was, nor the smell of brownies in the air.

She quietly climbed up onto her bed, trying to be quiet as to not disturb Weiss below but also not even noticing that that very bed underneath her was empty, and got in under the blankets. The poor girl was so tired that she hadn't even noticed that her bed space was smaller than usual.

Rolling onto her side to face the wall, Ruby's eyes almost doubled in size when she saw what - or rather who - was lying next to her. Weiss was fast asleep, blankets right up to her chin as she quietly muttered to herself as she slept.

Confused, Ruby gave Weiss' cheek a soft poke which caused a small grumble from the older girl.

"Weiss?" Ruby whispered, causing the heiress to pull the blankets closer to herself and off of Ruby. Frowning, Ruby pulled them back. This was her bed! And these were her blankets! She would not be put out in the cold!

"C'mon Weiss... I'm tired. Go to your own bed..." Her response was purely silence.

Groaning, Ruby rolled her eyes and pushed Weiss over a little to try and make more space for herself. As slim as both girls were, Weiss was taking up almost all of the bed due to being so spread out. Ruby must have pushed her a little too hard, because Weiss' face scrunched up in displeasure.

"Go away..." She muttered, almost swatting Ruby's hand away as she tried to get more space once again.

"...But this is my bed." Sure, Ruby /could/ go sleep in Weiss' bed, and make things easier for both of them, but like heck she was gonna! This was her bed! And she was going to stand her ground!

One of Weiss' eyes slowly opened and she gave Ruby what must have been the most ineffective death glare, and Ruby couldn't help but find it the tiniest bit adorable, by Weiss' standards that is.

"Your bed? No this is... What?"

"You're in my bed."

Weiss' other eye slowly opened, and she was face to face with Ruby. This wasn't right? Why was Ruby here? This was her bed... Wasn't it? Dust, why couldn't she remember anything?
