Weiss to the... rescue?

The bathroom door opened with a soft click, and Ruby's head whipped around so fast she nearly gave herself whiplash. Instead of Pyrrha, Weiss appeared in the doorway with a small stack of clothes held in her arms and a concerned expression on her face.

"Ruby! Pyrrha told me you were having some sort of emergency," Weiss said, stepping carefully into the flooded room. "Are you okay?"

"Weiss!" Ruby squeaked, clutching her wet panties with one hand and trying to pull down her camisole with the other. "I'm fine! Just a little... accident with the toilet."

Weiss surveyed the bathroom, her eyes lingering on the overflowing toilet and the water covering the floor. She had a good idea what happened. "I can see that. Here, I brought you some clothes."

She handed the bundle to Ruby, who accepted it gratefully. "Thanks, Weiss! I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't shown up."

"Don't mention it," Weiss replied with a small smile. "That's what teammates are for, right?"

Ruby nodded enthusiastically and inspected what Weiss had brought. It was part of their school uniform - the long-sleeved, white button-up shirt and a plaid skirt. The vest and blazer were missing, but Ruby wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

"I'll just... turn around while you change," Weiss said, spinning to face the door.

Ruby quickly pulled off her soaked camisole, shivering as the cool air hit her damp skin. She slipped the white shirt on, fumbling with the buttons. The material felt thinner than she remembered and like it clung slightly more to her than usual, but she just wrote it off as her imagination.

"Um, Weiss? Did you happen to bring any underwear?" Ruby asked hesitantly, looking down at the wet fabric between her legs.

"Sorry, I didn't know you needed any," Weiss replied, not turning around. "Is something wrong with the pair you have on?"

"Oh, uh, nope, no problem with my undies," Ruby said quickly.

"Okay... then why'd you ask?"

"Oh, you know, there's, uh, nothing quite like the feeling of a fresh pair of underwear in the morning?" Ruby gave an awkward laugh, hoping Weiss bought it. Her wet panties would have to do for now. She quickly removed them and tried to squeeze out as much water as she could without drawing Weiss's attention. Then, she pulled them back on. They were still uncomfortably damp and a little heavier than normal but at least they were a better than before. She quickly slipped the skirt on over them, noticing it seemed a bit shorter than her usual one but too relieved to be dressed again to worry about it.

"All done!" she announced, tucking in the shirt.

Weiss turned around, eyes scanning Ruby from head to toe. These clothes weren't actually the standard issued Beacon uniform. The shirt was thinner and tighter than the usual uniform shirt. If anyone looked closely, they'd be able to see that the outline of her nipples was faintly visible. And the skirt was a good inch or two shorter than usual. More importantly, it wasn't a combat skirt like the standard issue one, where it was built not to flutter or move much. No, quite the opposite, Weiss had it specially adjusted to be more prone to bounce and sway with the wind or motion. If Ruby wasn't mindful, she may just end up flashing her underwear to those around her. "Much better. Now, about this mess..."

"I know, I know," Ruby said, hanging her head. "I'll clean it up."

"What happened exactly?" Weiss asked, gesturing to the disaster area. "It looks like a small flood washed through here."

Ruby fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. "Oh, you know... just tried to flush too much toilet paper at once. Silly me!"

No way was she telling Weiss about those photos. What if Weiss thought she had taken them herself and sent them to someone? The very idea made Ruby want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

"Well, we need to do something about this immediately," Weiss declared, hands on her hips. "We can't leave the bathroom like this. Let's go find Professor Goodwitch."

"Professor Goodwitch?! Are you sure we can't just find some towels and, uh," Ruby cast a anxious glance at her porcelain rival, "a plunger?"

"I think we need to alert the staff," Weiss said. "This is beyond what we can handle ourselves, and Professor Goodwitch should at least be able to get someone sent here to clean up the mess quickly."

"Right now?" Ruby asked, glancing down at herself, newly clothed but still barefoot.

"Of course right now," Weiss insisted. "Before anyone else comes in and slips. It's our responsibility."

Ruby nodded reluctantly and followed Weiss toward the door, completely unaware that as she moved, her panties had begun another, albeit slower, descent. As they stepped into the hallway, Weiss walking slightly ahead, Ruby's underwear very slightly slid down every so many steps.

Weiss led them to the stairs, insisting that it would be faster. She glanced back occasionally, a small smile playing at her lips as she noticed Ruby's predicament developing behind her. Each step was accented by a sway of the skirt's hem and a brief flash of her panties, but Weiss couldn't help but notice more of said panties coming into view with each sway the longer they walked.

"Thanks again, Weiss," Ruby said sincerely as they reached the ground floor and stepped back into the hallway. She offered a nervous smile as they passed a group of early-rising students. "I really appreciate you helping me. You're being so nice about all this."

"That's what friends do," Weiss replied smoothly. "Though I do think we should hurry. That bathroom is a disaster waiting to happen."

Ruby quickened her pace, oblivious to the fact that her panties had now slipped to her upper thighs, right in line with the skirt's hem. Every step fully exposed her panties to anyone who happened to be looking her way. The cool morning air against her bare bottom should have been a clue, but in her flustered state, she attributed it to her damp clothes.

Fortunately for Ruby, they didn't need to trek all the way to Goodwitch's office. The professor was at the doorway that connected the main building to the cafeteria, giving a couple of students a lecture. Weiss called out to her as they approached, getting her attention. The moment Professor Goodwitch's attention was off them the students took the opportunity to escape.

"Miss Rose, Miss Schnee," Goodwitch acknowledged with a curt nod as they approached.

Ruby smiled nervously. "Good morning, Professor! We were just—"

"There's been a small incident in the second floor bathroom," Weiss interrupted smoothly. "It's rather... flooded. One of the toilets got clogged and kept flushing. Would it be possible to have a janitor come right away?"

Professor Goodwitch gave them both a scrutinizing once over, her gaze lingering over Ruby, who was fidgeting and trying not to meet her gaze. Ruby tried to look as innocent as possible but couldn't help the red glow in her cheeks. Then Professor Goodwitch sighed. "Off to an early start today, I see. Let me see how bad the damage is. Lead the way."

Weiss took the lead again, turning around with a "Right this way." Professor Goodwitch followed right beside her. Ruby turned on her heel to follow, but as she did, while she was just a few steps behind them, her panties finally passed the point of no return, dropping right down her thighs and over her knees to pool at her ankles with a wet splat. A horrified squeak left her throat as her eyes dropped to her feet where her cartoon fruit patterned panties now sat, visible to anyone who happened to look at her.

"Are you okay, Ruby?" Weiss asked innocently, starting to turn.

Professor Goodwitch did the same. "Is something wrong?"

Time slowed to a crawl for Ruby as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest. If she didn't act fast, both Weiss and Professor Goodwitch would turn around and see her panties at her feet.
