Eight o'clock. Beacon Academy. Most of the huntsmen and huntresses-in-training were either finishing assignments, coming back from Vale, or getting ready for bed. Not the leaders of Teams RWBY and JNPR, Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc, though. These two, unbeknownst to most of their teams, were planning on having a date tonight. However, they needed a good reason to be out late so their teammates wouldn't wonder what they were doing. So, they hatched a plan to get away from their friends for the night.

"Darn it, I forgot to buy some ammo for Crescent Rose while we were in Vale!", said Ruby.

"Really?", said Ruby's half sister Yang.

"Yeah, really, I also forgot get enough dust for my "special" rounds".

"Why didn't you take some from me? I have plenty that you can use," said heiress Weiss Schnee.

"Because, I would have felt guilty and I may have already checked your small shop's worth of dust and couldn't find the right blends of dust that I need".

"Well, one of us should go with you", said Yang.

"You don't need to worry about me, I'll be just fine", said Ruby.

"Hmm, well I guess you could go on a real quick trip if it's really that important for you to go and if you can't wait 'til tomorrow", said Yang.

"Ooohh, thanks sis, I won't be gone too long,"

"Be back by ten."

"Okay!"

Ruby, excited that she convinced Yang to let her go, quickly left the room but didn't hear what her sis was saying to the third member of the team.

"Hey Blake," called Yang.

"Yes?" replied Blake.

"Could you make sure Ruby doesn't get into trouble"? requested Yang.

"Sure, I didn't have much to do anyway", said Blake.

"Thanks, just don't let her see you and if you find something interesting send a picture of it to my scroll."

"Okay, just let me finish this chapter."

"Blake, quit reading your smut and go spy on my sister."

"How did you know that?"

"I'll tell you later, just go."

With Ruby's side of the plan done, all that was needed was for Jaune to make a seemingly random excursion to Vale seem unsuspicious to his teammates.

"Um, guys, I have to go to Vale really quickly," mentioned Jaune.

"How come"? replied Pyrrha

"I need to get something for tomorrow's science project."

"Jaune, are you Cardin's bitch again?" questioned Nora.

"NO! Why would you ask that"? replied a startled Jaune.

"It's just that, you've been staying out late a lot, like when Cardin was bullying you around," replied Ren, while he put his hand over Nora's mouth.

"No, I'm fine. I just need to go to the store for a bit. Is that too much to ask?" asked Jaune.

"Okay, see you later Jaune", replied Pyrrha

Jaune left the room and managed to mostly convinced his team that it was just a store trip. That's a surprise considering he's a terrible liar.
