<Y/n p.o.v.>

I was helping move some of the speakers with Yang.

Ruby was depressed.

Weiss came up and showed two table cloths.

"I need you to pick a table cloth" Weiss said.

"Aren't they both the same" Ruby asked.

"Argh...I don't even know why I asked" Weiss said.

Yang walked over near Ruby and placed a speaker down.

"So, have you picked out a dress yet" Yang asked.

"What's the point, who cares about the dance if Blake isn't going" Ruby said.

"Oh don't worry, she's going" Yang said.

She turned to Weiss.

"WEISS...I THOUGHT WE AGREED, NO DOILIES" Yang said.

"If I don't get doilies, you get no fog machines" Weiss said.

"Doilies suck, it's a dance, not a wedding" I said.

Yang and Ruby laughed.

The doors opened.

Sun and Neptune walked in.

"You're going to have fog machines" Neptune asked.

"Weiss doesn't want any, she wants doilies" I said.

Weiss pouted.

"You ladies...excited for dress-up" Sun asked.

"Pfft, yeah right" Ruby said.

"Laugh all you want, I'll be turning heads tonight" Yang said.

"What are you two wearing" Weiss asked.

Sun gestured his stomach.

"Uh...this" Sun said.

"Ignore him, he knows not what he says" Neptune said.

"Hey I may have moved to Mistral, but I grew up from Vacuo, not exactly a suit and tie type of place" Sun said.

"Yeah, we've noticed" Yang said.

Sun rubbed the back of his head.

"So uhh...what does Blake think of all this, she still being all, you know....Blakey" Sun asked.

"Obviously" Weiss said.

"I still can't think of a way to change her mind" Ruby said.

"Guys, trust me...Blake WILL be going to the dance tomorrow" Yang said.

Yang walked away.

"What are you wearing Y/n" Sun asked.

"Oh...well uh...you see where I'm from we don't..exactly have anything like suits or ties...so umm..." I said.

Both Neptune and Sun grabbed me by my arms.

"Don't worry buddy, we'll help you out" They said happily.

They began dragging me away.

"W-WAIT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING...JUST...LET...ME...GOOOOO" I said as I was dragged away to certain doom.

<Timeskip in Ika p.o.v.>

I yawned as I began running out of coffee.

I then felt a hug behind me.

"YAY MORE COFFEE" I said as Blake gave me some more coffee.

"Thanks for helping me Ika, it's good to see that there is atleast someone who is actually sane around here" Blake said.

"It's fine, it's good to have friends to help, so what do we got, you thinking my theory could be correct" I asked.

"Potentially, I mean if they were trying to do a peaceful campaign, then giant mech suits aren't the best way to go, and with all that dust we could have a full scale invasion on our hands" Blake said.

I stretched.

"Anywho, can I just be the first to say that...this is actually nice, you know, having someone to be with, doing something as big as this as a team....I'm actually beginning to think that life isn't as bad as it see-hey where did you go" I asked.

She wasn't in the room.

"HELLOOOOO" A familiar voice sung.

I poked my head out and saw Blake and Yang running off on me.

"Oh...ok....have fun out there...I'll just..be here...alone" I said.

I was about to continue on my work but then I saw something in my way.

NO...NO...WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!!!!

"M-MOTHER" I said.

"Oh son of accursed, you're in distress, you're facing problems that outweigh you and your friends" She said.

"SINCE WHEN DID YOU CARE" I said.

"I'm here because my son needs his mother..." She said.

"YOU'RE NOT A MOTHER....YOU'RE JUST A SLUT WHO SLEPT WITH HER OWN ENEMY BECAUSE SHE WAS FEELING ALL LONELY BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HIDE BEHIND IFRIT ANYMORE" I shouted.

She began freezing the entire room.

"YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE, AND IN YOUR LITTLE 'COMMUNION' YOU CREATED ME, AND NOW YOU FIND THE TIME TO LOVE YOUR SON" I said.

"I LEFT YOU BECAUSE I COULDN'T BARE HAVING TO...I left because I could never handle the burden of looking after you, the burden of having to lie to my lover" She said.

"And by raising me he would find out one day right, and wouldn't that be a shame, and I'm glad that you see me as a burden" I said.

"Wait, I didn't mean burden...I meant.." She said.

I looked her deep in the eyes.

"Mistake" I said.

She looked at me in sadness.

"Here's what you're going to do...you're going to leave...and you're going to make sure you never interrupt me again..are we clear" I said as I moved to her face.

She cried before completely freezing this room with cold mist.

When it was cleared she was gone, and my room was ice cold.

"Wretch" I said.

I grabbed my towel and I went in the shower.

A nice HOT shower should clear my thoughts.

Ifrit man...you certainly know your type...HAHAHA!!!

Once I was finished I grabbed my towel and I walked out of the shower.

I then heard a rattling on my door.

The door suddenly burst open.

Weiss stormed in and then she slammed the door closed.

After locking the door she turned to me suddenly.

"LISTEN HERE IKAGAKI KUJIN CROSS, I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS COME TO THIS DANCE" She said.

She then grabbed both my hands and she held them tightly.

"YOU'RE GOING TO COME WITH ME RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I'LL DESTROY YOUR CAR" She said.

Then...at the worst timing...my towel dropped.

She slowly looked down and noticed.

She was blushing heavily.

I looked at her, then myself, then back to her.

It took me about 15 seconds to understand the situation.

SHIT!!

I blushed heavily, then I summoned my Royal Arms and I aimed them at her.

"HOW DARE YOU" I shouted.

"W-WAIT I...I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE NAKED I SWEAR" She said.

I so wanted to stab her a few times but...it wouldn't be worth it.

I sighed, then I picked up my towel, covered myself, then deactivated my Royal Arms.

Once she calmed down she sighed.

"Look...I know you don't want to go...but...from one royal to another..more or less...will you go to the dance with me" She asked.

"Why me...why not Jaune, or Neptune...or literally anyone else" I asked.

"Look...I know that we haven't gotten off to a good start when we met...and maybe along the way too...but...I just want to be with someone I can actually care about for a very long time, someone who doesn't like me just because of my last name..." She said.

"Yet you like me because I'm a prince" I said.

She looked shocked.

"Come on, that's like super easy to figure out Weiss, the way you look at me when I'm in class, the way you blushed and drooled when y/n mentioned that I'm a prince...or the fact that you blushed when I was in a drugged state and I called you cute...you know what that's actually my fault" I chuckled.

"You know, you did actually suddenly jump me during that state, and you did call me a racist...and I think I caught you looking up my skirt one time" She said.

Oh...that.

"I was curious ok, it's not like I like you or anything" I said.

Wait, did I just do a Tsundere?

"Curious huh...well I found that insulting, I think you owe me" She said.

"W-WAIT, YOU BARGE INTO MY ROOM THEN DEMAND THAT I OWE YO-" I said.

She jumped up and kissed me.

I was lost my footing and I fell onto the bed.

She deepened it.

When it broke I was left blushing, naked, looking like an idiot...I TSUNDERED MYSELF FOR FUCKS SAKE!!

"I think that should suffice" She said.

I kissed her back.

"Don't tell anyone about this and I'm yours" I said.

"Deal" She said.

"Cool, now sweetie...can I get changed now" I asked.

<Timeskip in y/n p.o.v.>

I had arrived in my suit.

Sun was right, it really is a neck killer.

When I got inside the building I noticed Yang up front.

"OH MY GOSH, YOU LOOK SO HANDSOME" Yang said.

"Burn this suit please" I said.

"Thanks, but if I wanted to see you without it I would've taken you to my dorm first" She said.

"Wait what" I said.

She chuckled.

"Go on, enjoy yourself" She said.

I sighed and wandered around a bit.

I noticed Sun and Blake dancing.

And I found Ika and Weiss dancing.

Along with Nora and Ren, and Pyrrha and...JAUNE IN A DRESS?!

They all were happy, even Jaune.

I smiled seeing my friends all happy.

I then saw Ruby on her own.

When I walked to her she seemed bored.

"Not enjoying yourself" I asked.

She jumped.

"Oh sorry, didn't see you there" She said.

I looked at her.

"You look beautiful" I said.

She blushed.

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself" She said.

I held out my hand.

"I know this is a little too unorthodox but...may I have this dance" I asked.

She blushed a little more.

"You know...I'd like that" She said as she took my hand.

We went to the floor and we danced.

It was fun.

She was having fun too.

"You know, after everything, and everyone having fun, this is a nice way for some normalcy" I said.

"Yeah, I'm glad that we all have this time together" She said.

She eventually placed her head against my chest.

I was surprised at first....but it felt nice.

Eventually we both just wanted to go outside for some fresh air.

Ruby then tapped my shoulder.

"Y/n, look over there" She said.

I turned to where she was looking at...a woman in black was running across the rooftops.

We followed her.

Eventually we ended up near the CCT tower, and we found an unconscious guard.

"This is trouble" I said.

We both pulled out our scrolls and we activated our lockers.

When they arrived we pulled out our weapons and readied ourselves for combat.

Ruby and I went inside and found all the guards unconscious.

We went in the elevator and went into the top.

No one was at the top.

"Hello" Ruby called out.

She then nearly tripped on her heels, I caught her.

How does Weiss fight in those?

"You think they went up here" Ruby asked.

"We passed a bunch of guards who were knocked out, I think they're up here...SHOW YOURSELF" I said.

And just like that we saw the black dressed girl, she was wearing a mask.

"Excuse me, you know it's not a masquerade party, so why don't you take off that-" Ruby said.

The girl pulled out a canister and she released something out of it.

It was dust, she made it into ice crystals.

She shot them at us.

We destroyed them and Ruby began shooting at her.

The girl used her hands to stop the bullets.

And with a twirl she summoned two swords.

When she did her suit glowed, similar to dust...can dust be put into clothing?

I tried slicing at her.

She jumped back, put both of her swords together to make a bow, then she shot a few arrows at me.

I sliced them apart.

She smiled, then the elevator responded.

Someone came out of the elevator.

General Ironwood?

YES, NOW WE CAN...where'd she go?

"DAMMIT" I said as I stabbed my greatsword into the ground.

Whoever she was she came here for something...did we stop her...or did she win?

I turned to Ruby, she was having the same thoughts.

Now...dust being put into clothing...could that be used for Torchwick's plan as well, to make dust resistant warriors?

Or is there some part I'm missing...or not knowing?
