It is the night of the dance at Beacon and almost everyone was heading there... Almost. Standing outside of his dorm, Brock is pacing around waiting for the rest of his team. He is wearing a blue tux with a white dress shirt.

Brock: Holy-*knock knock* Will you three hurry up?! We're going to miss the whole night!

From behind the door, he can hear footsteps.

Elly: Calm your man boobs, we're almost done!

Brock: For the last time... They are PECKS!

Elly: You're gonna get a peck upside the head if you keep yelling. And besides-

She steps out from behind the door and into the hall with a two piece dress.

Elly: You think all of this was made by accident?

Brock: Well I have met your parents before so-

Elly: Shut up. How much longer you two?

(Y/n): Almost done.

(y/n) is on one knee, sowing stitches to Natalie's dress.

Natalie: "grunt" That's a little tight.

(Y/n): If you had bought a dress with Elly, I wouldn't be sowing a dress for you out of a curtain at the last minute!

Natalie: Geez, I said I was sorry.

(Y/n): Anyway, I am just... about... done!

He gets up from the floor and looks at his handy work.

(Y/n): Eh. Not my best work, but it will have to do.

He walks over to a chair and grabs his jacket. Putting it on, he heads out the door with his team.

(Y/n): Alright, we're spiffy as all hell. You happy now?

Brock: Yes. Now let's go!

(Y/n):... Actually, I don't think I like this color-

Brock: Don't fuck with me, (y/n).

(Y/n): Haha! Okay, let's get moving.

[Location: dance]

(Y/n)'s p.o.v.

As we make our way to the dance, I see Mercury and Emerald heading in before we do.

Yang: You guys are just in time.

Mercury: Wouldn't miss it for the world.

(Y/n): I don't know. There are a lot of things that I would be willing to miss the dance for. Like a dying grandmother, a box of kittens, and so on.

As my team goes off to do there own thing, I continue to make Mercury and Emerald uncomfortable with my presence alone before moving on. Walking around I see all sorts of people dancing from Blake and a monkey faunus, Elly and Brock, even Glynda and James. Looking over to a corner however, I see Natalie standing around with a cup of punch in her hand. I sneak up behind her and place a hand on her shoulder, startling her a bit.

(Y/n): Hello!

Natalie: Oh geez! You're going to give me a heart attack!

(Y/n): You'll be fine. So, what's up?

Natalie: Oh you know... Standing.

(Y/n): So why are you standing and not dancing at this, you know... dance?

Natalie: "sigh" I'm not good at dancing...

(Y/n): It's not that hard. You just flail around and try not to hit anyone. Look, just grab my hand and I'll show you.

I stick my hand to her. She looks at it for a moment before finishing her punch and grabbing it. I lead her to the dance floor with everyone else and show her the basics.

(Y/n): Alright. Just keep holding my hand, place your other hand on my shoulder, don't worry about my hand on your waist it's nothing sexual, and don't worry about stepping on my feet I wore steel toed shoes just for this occasion. Now, just follow my lead.

Natalie: Okay...

As we start to move, she steps on my feet every now and then eliciting a slight clank. Suddenly we start to hear laughter.

(Y/n): What the he-What. The. Hell?

Natalie: Oh my...

We see Jaune in a dress walking over to Pyrrha while everyone is laughing, yet it seems like he doesn't care in the slightest.

(Y/n): Well he definitely has a pair that clanks, I'll give him that... He sure can pull off a dress when he wants to though. Oh, now the whole team is dancing!

After we watched team JNPR completely own the dance floor, we came to the slow dance of the night and continue. As minutes go by, I over hear a conversation next to us.

Mercury: And how's your night been?

Cinder: Hmm, a little more... exciting than expected.

Mercury: Should we be worried?

Cinder: Hardly. They'll be scratching their heads long after we've finished what we came here for.

Mercury: So then, what now?

Cinder: Enjoy the rest of the night. After all... it is a party.

(Y/n): 'Hmm. They must be getting close to the end. Oh, I just know the Vytal Festival this year will be quite memorable. Until then, let's have a little fun'.

I outstretch my hand with Natalie still holding on and I lean back far enough to Cinder's ear while not looking suspicious.

(Y/n): What would you say is an insect's favorite thing?

I pull Natalie back in and continue to dance. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Cinder nervously looking around.

Natalie: This is actually kind of fun, (y/n).

(Y/n): Besides the occasional foot crushing, yeah.

As we continue dancing, I only have one thought running through my mind.

(Y/n): 'I hope to me that the next chapters become more interesting than this slice of life crap'.

----

A/n: Dance with me, Salem!

Salem: No thank you.

*pulls out a Noisy Cricket and points it at Salem's head*

A/n: Haha! I'm not asking.
