It was the night of Beacon's dance , Pyrrha and Nora were walking to the main entrance. What was shocking to most of the students was that the two male members of Team JNPR were missing. The two entered and were greeted to the sight of Yang at the podium. She looked up with her usual smile, "Well look at this, you two finally showed up."
Pyrrha just smiled at her, "Sorry, Nora had a small mishap with her dress." That caused the ginger haired girl to blush mildly. "Have you seen Jaune and Ren?"
Yang raised an eyebrow, "They aren't with you two?"
Pyrrha shook her head and Nora spoke in her stead, "No. Our Fearless Leader and Ren ditched us halfway through the day and said they'd meet us here." She finished with a pout.
"Huh, well they're not here yet. But, I'll give you a heads up when they do." Yang said with a smile.
The two smiled and thanked her before they decided to join the other students in the ballroom. They quickly saw Blake and Weiss and walked over to them. They all started talking for a while until Pyrrha decided to ask what both were thinking, "Where is Ruby?"
Weiss motioned to the other side of the ballroom. They saw that the red reaper was actually talking to Velvet, who was wearing a light brown dress. "Since CFVY had finished with the dance, Ruby started to ask Velvet about her weapon. She hasn't left her side since."
"Speaking of missing team members." Blake spoke up, "Where are Jaune and Ren?"
"We don't know." Nora whined. "They ditched us and said they'd be here 'later'." She even made the finger quotes when saying the word. She then sighed sadly, "They've been doing that a lot lately."
"Really?" Blake asked. Nora nodded. "For how long?"
Pyrhha and Nora exchanged a look, "Couple of weeks or so."
"Really?" Blake asked and when they nodded she had a confused look, "That's weird. Same thing with Sun."
That got shocked looks from the two females of JNPR. That's when Weiss added to the conversation, "Neptune has also been behaving similar for just as long. Plus, Coco said that Fox has been acting weird since their return from their mission."
They all looked over to Coco, who was watching Ruby bombarding Velvet with questions with an amused smirk. She was wearing a stunning brown and gold dress. Before they could think about it, the lights suddenly went out and the music stopped. A murmuring went through the room before the lights all pointed to the middle of the room, which was completely empty. That was when Jaune stepped forward and looked at Pyrrha with a smile. That's when the music started.
(Play I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys.)
Yeah-eh-heah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
Sun stepped into the light and took over while looking to Blake.
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Ren, Neptune and Fox stepped forward as well and added their voices to the mix. Looking at Nora, Weiss and Coco, respectively.
S: Tell me why
J, R, N, F: Ain't nothin' but a heartache
S: Tell me why
J, R, N, F: Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
S: I never want to hear you say
All: I want it that way
Neptune was the one to take over next.
Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
N: Tell me why
J, R, S, F: Ain't nothin' but a heartache
N: Tell me why
J, R, S, F: Ain't nothin' but a mistake
All: Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
Ren took over from there.
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be Yeah
R, N: No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
Finally, Fox took over. Stunning everyone.
You are my fire
The one desire
You are (you are you are you are)
S: Don't want to hear you say
J, R, N, F: Ain't nothin' but a heartache
All: Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
All: I never want to hear you say
(Never want to hear you say it)
I want it that way
N: 'Cause I want it that way
With the song over, the students started to applaud the quintet. They all smiled and kept looking at their love interests. That was when Nora ran forward and jumped into Ren's arms. "Ren!" she shouted happily. He caught her with practiced ease but still almost toppled over. It didn't help that she slammed her lips against his hard enough to bruise them. But he returned it nonetheless.
Fox walked over to Coco who was sauntering over to him. They stopped in front of each other and that was when she pulled her glasses down with a smirk and a gleam in her eyes. "Good job." She gently patted his cheek before leaning forward and kissing him. He wrapped his arms around her waist in response.
Neptune and Sun started to walk over to Weiss and Blake. "So, how'd I do?" Neptune asked nervously.
Weiss just gave him a small smile, "It was adequate." She leant up to leave a gentle kiss to his cheek. He had a goofy smile on his face with that, so he missed Weiss taking his hand and leading him to the dance floor.
Blake was just giving Sun a calculated look, "Was that your idea?"
Sun shook his head with a grin, "Nope. That was all Jaune's idea."
She sighed, "Of course it was."
He gave her a grin as he leant forward, "Don't pretend like you didn't love it."
She just rolled her eyes before giving him a feather light peck on the lips. That left him with his mouth agape. She gained a catty grin before taking his arm. "Come on, I still owe you a dance."
Jaune just stayed standing there. He was nervously watching his partner and best friend walk over to him. After an eternity, she was standing in front of him with a stunned look on her face. He gave her a nervous grin, "So, I know this is a little late but…" he scratched the back of his head, "Will you go to the dance with me."
She just shook her head and gained a small smile, "On one condition." He just nodded nervously. She wrapped her hands around his neck and he went rigid, "You have to kiss me. Right now." His eyes just went wide, not sure if he heard her right. When he saw she was serious, he nodded dumbly. He placed his hands on her waist before leaning forward. Sealing her lips with his own.
A/N- Just couldn't help myself, hehe.
