Weiss: Winter, you're joining us for Yang's surprise birthday celebration, right?
Winter: I suppose I did respond to the RSVP, so...yes. Yes, I am.
/Later that afternoon, at a nearby bowling alley/
Weiss: Winter, you made it!
Winter: Indeed. Although, Weiss, why is Yang here already? I thought you said this was...
Yang: (cutting Winter off unintentionally as she approaches the Schneeblings with her boisterous greetings) Hey Winter! Glad you could make it! ... I wouldn't have pegged you for a bowler. Huh.
Winter: To be honest, today's my first time at a bowling alley.
Yang: Really? Cool! We'll nab you some shoes first, and then I can help you with finding the right weight for your ball and show you some of my sweet moves...(keeps talking)
Winter (aside, whispering to Weiss in confusion): Shoes? I wore shoes.
Weiss: Ah, yes, I forgot to mention...
/Two minutes later, as Weiss adds Winter's name to their lane/
Winter: I see why it slipped your mind to mention the shoes, Weiss. These are...
Yang:(having just turned around with an extra plate of pizza for Winter) *Gasps, frozen, as the pizza slowly slid off the plate to smack loudly on the floor*
Yang: Y-you're.... ?!?
Winter: (blushing) What?
/Yang closes the gap between them, for once tilting her head slightly down to meet the operative's eyes, who just stepped out of her heels moments before and straightened just in time to see the death of that pizza slice. Practically nose to nose, the two elder sisters can't seem to break their eye contact as both blush deeply enough /
Weiss(with a heavy but fond sigh): Happy Birthday, Yang.
Yang, still kinda in shock and with an ever-widening smile overtaking her face (along with a tinge of red), hugged Winter, not Weiss...for some reason...catching Winter by surprise for a moment before the embrace was returned. Weiss, pouting, didn't have to wait more than a few moments before finding herself swept into a bear hug to end all bear hugs.
Weiss: (giggling a bit) Put me down, you brute!
Winter: (confused, but too distracted by the antics in front of her to notice the unbalanced smile plastered on her face or the fact that Yang's hug had left her clothes a bit disheveled) .. Happy Birthday, Yang.
See, Yang had always wanted a genuine surprise for her bday but despite Ruby's best efforts she always managed to figure out any plans before they could be enacted. Weiss, knowing this, had finally come to terms with the fact that only Winter could be that surprise, seeing as Yang wouldn't have had the audacity to bother her (sighing to herself) crush about a topic as trivial as birthday surprise plans. And if Winter had been wholely unaware not only of her effect on team RWBY's blond brawler, but also of her own reactions when the dragon was in her immediate vicinity, well, who could blame her little sister for hopefully bringing those things to light? Smiling softly, Weiss plucked the cherry from atop Ruby's banana split and popped it into her mouth. ...and prepared herself, of course, for imminent retribution of the highest order as soon as the crimson blur noticed the misdeed. Worth it.
Today, it seemed, was a day of many firsts...
