Part 15: Dance at Midnight! A Night to Remember!

Vice: Woohoo! Tonight's dance night! I'm gonna drive the world crazy with my devilishly awesome dance skills!

Y/N: Vice, chill out.

You adjust your tie and brush off your suit.

Vice: Come on! You gotta let me out tonight! I'll be on my best behavior. I promise!

Y/N: Letting you out would likely result in someone getting eaten.

Vice: Not true!

August: You ready, Y/N?

You turn to see August, Emily, and Daniel in their own outfits.

Y/N: Thanks for helping me with my suit, Em.

Emily smirks and pats your shoulder.

Emily: Well I couldn't have my brother looking like an idiot on his date.

Y/N: Ugh... I wish I didn't tell you about that...

Emily: Then you wouldn't have known how to tie a tie.

August: I'm just surprised Fenix didn't have any work for us.

Daniel: Oddly the Deadmans haven't been active since our last battle. I don't like it...

Emily: Hey now. We need to relax once in a while.

The four of you head out and go to the auditorium, where the dance is being held. You see Yang at the entance, welcoming people inside. She sees your group and waves.

Yang: Yo!

Emily: Didn't think you'd be wearing white. I expected yellow.

Yang: Hey, gotta change things up every now and then.

She turns and smirks at you.

Yang: Weiss is inside. Best not to keep your date waiting.

Y/N: Right.

You step inside and immediately catch the heiress adjusting a vase of flowers.

Y/N: You look beautiful.

Weiss gives a playful smile.

Weiss: And you look quite distinguished yourself. Impressive for a bath house worker.

She finishes adjusting the vase and looks around the hall as more people arrive and start to enjoy the dance.

Y/N: To be honest, this is kinda the first dance I've been to.

Weiss: I've been to several parties in Atlas. Honestly, I find this a lot more relaxing. At least I don't have to be on stage singing.

Y/N: You sound like you don't like to sing.

Weiss: It's not that. Just... Most of the time, my father would have me sing to get good publicity for the family company.

Y/N: Your dad had you sing? What like an order?

Weiss doesn't respond but you get the answer by the look on your face.

Y/N: Hm. Sounds like a man I wouldn't get along with. You should do something because that's what you want. Not because of someone else ordering you to.

Weiss: You have a point... But let's not sour the mood of the evening. Would you like some punch?

Y/N: Sure.

You see Ruby go outside.

Y/N: But first I'll be right back.

You head towards the balcony and watch as Ruby sneaks off.

Y/N: I have a bad feeling.

Vice: Let me out then. I'll go help Ruby so you can enjoy the dance.

Y/N: ... Fine. But you better not try to hurt anyone.

Rex!

You stamp yourself with the Rex Vistamp and Vice pops out in physical form.

Vice: You can count on me. But in return I wanna dance when I get back.

Vice jumps off the balcony and you sigh.

Y/N: I may have made a poor choice...

You return to Weiss, meanwhile Ruby reaches the Communications Tower and sees an unconscious guard.

Ruby: What the...

Vice: Looks like someone knocked him out.

The girl jumps and faces your Demon

Ruby: Vice?

Vice: Yep. I convinced Y/N to let me join you while he was with Weiss at the dance. I got your back.

The two go inside and find more unconscious guards.

Vice: Doesn't look like Demon work.

Ruby: So it might not be related to the Deadmans?

Vice: Maybe.

They go up in the elevator and reach the comms room.

Ruby: Hello?

A woman in a bodysuit stands up from behind a desk and turns to reveal a mask.

Ruby: It's not a masquerade party.

The woman creates shards of glass and launches them at the scythe wielding girl.

Vice: Look out!

Brachio!

Vice stamps himself with the Brachio Vistamp and changes into his Brachio form to block the attack. Ruby jumps over him and tries to shoot at the woman who creates a pair of swords to block the bullets.

Vice: You're going down!

Vice rushes the masked woman and unleashes a flurry of punches.

Vice: Ora! Ora ora ora ora ora!

The woman blocks the punches and leaps backward, joining her swords, turning them into a bow. She fires three arrows that explode but Vice blocks the brunt of them. When the smoke clears, the woman has vanished. Vice yells as he returns to normal.

Vice: Damn! What was that?!

????????: Ahem.

The two turn to see General Ironwood.

Vice: Um...

Ironwood: You're Y/N L/N's Demon.

Vice: The name's Vice.

Ironwood: Right. As much as I would like an explanation, you two should get back to the dance. Ruby, you can explain everything tomorrow.

Ruby: R-Right.

Back to you. You're currently sipping punch as Jaune walks in with in a dress.

Weiss: Well... That's not something you see everyday.

Vice comes in and you immediately notice him.

Y/N: Vice?

Vice: Sweet! JNPR, let's party!

Ren: Wait what?

Vice drags the four on stage as music starts to play. The five start dancing in sync like they had practiced for weeks.

Weiss: When did? How?

Y/N: I promised Vice I'd let him dance. Well, shall we take the stage?

Weiss: You can dance?

Y/N: I may not have been to a dance before but I do know how to dance at least.

You take her hand as you twirl her.

Weiss: Impressive.

The two of you start to dance and before you know it, the music goes from fast pace to a slow waltz. Weiss places one of your hands on her waist and places her own hand on your shoulder.

Weiss: My turn to take the lead.

The two of you slow dance you can't help but stare into Weiss's eyes. Before you know what's going on, the two of you lean in and share a kiss.

Vice: Woah!

This grabs your entire team's attention. August stares in shock, Emily has a smirk across her face and Daniel blinks in surprise.

August: D-Did-

Daniel: I think they did.

Emily: I was banking on them kissing. Nora and I had a bet and looks like I just won.

Lovekov appears beside Emily.

Lovekov: Lov Lov!

Vice: Hehe. Way to go.

Weiss and you separate for air and both of you have blushes on your faces.

Weiss: W-Well. That was certainly a surprise.

Y/N: Y-Yeah.

Weiss smiles.

Weiss: But... I certainly enjoyed it.

The two of you hold each other as you continue your slow dance. Enjoying your first and probably best dance ever.
