[And Weiss is gonna wake up to find a letter waiting for her, reading:

Happy birthday, Weiss!

Come downstairs!

-R]

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss wakes up as she usually does, late and reluctantly. It takes her a bit to even notice Ruby's letter, let alone read it. When she does, however, she forces herself to wake up enough to head downstairs, still in her nightgown and fighting down a yawn.]

Ruby, you left me a letter?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Uh-huh! Happy birthday! I got you something!

[And she dashed away and returns with a box all wrapped up with a bow on top.]

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss slowly blinks at the box.]

I'm sure I'll be very excited about this when I'm in a proper state to appreciate it. For now, coffee.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh! Right! Sorry!

[And she zips away and returns with a fresh pot, a few cups and sugar and cream.]

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss completely ignores the sugar and cream at first, only turning to them once she remembers the side effect of her Bottomless Mug. Even then, she only adds enough to offset the extra bitterness. She drinks long and deep and lowers her mug with a satisfied sigh.]

Okay, I'm feeling more like an actual person now. Can I see that box again?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Okay! Here you go!

[And she hands over the box to Weiss.]

I hope you like it…

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss sets her drink down on a table as she takes the gift. Perfectionist that she is, she takes the time to actually unwrap it rather than just tear it open.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

[And once the package is opened, Weiss will find two outfits inside. The first is a variation of her Huntress outfit with Ruby’s signature red coloring on the belts and gloves and the sigil on the jacket’s back is the combination of hers and Ruby’s.

The second is a white and blue variant of Ruby’s outfit, the boots shorter and designed for her more elegant stances and a shorter cape.]

I hope it ain’t too much…

[notbornguilty]

I love them.

[Weiss leans in to plant a kiss on Ruby's cheek.]

I always did like to give my outfits a splash of red to go with all the white.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby giggled as she received the kiss.]

I’m glad. I wanted to do something special and well, I figured something with a bit of me in it would be best…

[notbornguilty]

Hold on for just a bit!

[Weiss grabs both outfits and heads back upstairs. A few minutes later, she comes down in the recolor of her own outfit, but wearing the hood from the recolor of Ruby's.]

How do I look?

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby gasps at the sight, her silver eyes shining.]

It looks perfect! You look amazing!

Morning of May 15

[silver_eyes_rose]

[It’s morning and there’s something wonderful cooking in the kitchen. Once Weiss wakes up, she’ll find Ruby standing at the foot of her bed, holding a tray of breakfast - pancakes, eggs, bacon, all arraigned right.]

Happy birthday, Weiss…!

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss, bleary as she always is in the morning, takes a moment to register what Ruby says.]

Huh? Oh, right. Thank you, Ruby.

[She takes the tray into her own hands, setting it down in front of her.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby chuckled a bit.]

Sorry, I know you’re not a morning person, but I felt you deserved a wake up call today.

[notbornguilty]

It's fine. It's rather nice, actually. Before I became part of Team RWBY, I hadn't actually looked forward to my birthday since I was ten. I like that I'm relearning what that feels like.

[Whether there's coffee or not, Weiss does begin to properly wake up as she eats. (She just does so faster if there is.)]

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby looks over the tray and gasps before disappearing and reappearing in a flurry of petals before she returns with the cup of coffee.]

I knew I forgot something!

[And she sits it on the tray.]

[notbornguilty]

Ah, there we go. I wasn't going to bring it up, I didn't want to seem ungrateful, but that will go a long way towards pulling me away from sleep.

[Weiss gladly takes the cup and takes a long sip from it.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

Haha, oh, I understand. I made it, but I think I just forgot to put it on the tray.

Had an idea for what we could do today… that is, if you want to.

[notbornguilty]

One moment.

[Weiss finishes off her food, washing it down with the last of her coffee.]

Alright, let's hear it.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Wanna investigate another portal world? Maybe we can find something cool like that Pokemon world!

[notbornguilty]

I'd be glad to. I'll admit, the Ever After soured the idea at first, but the worlds we found offered a good counterargument.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Perfect! Yes, those worlds are so much better than what you told me.

Please, take your time and I’ll be waiting downstairs, okay?

[notbornguilty]

Sounds like a plan.

[Despite the directions to take her time, it doesn't take long for Weiss to get dressed these days. A mental command to her nano-suit has her dress on, and a magical command to her brooch gives the matching jacket. So after a nice shower, that's exactly what she does before heading down.]
