RWBY: The Dogs Secret Lover's

by PhoneCursed87

It's almost been half a month since Blake & Yang started dating and everyone at beacon thinks it's actually quite cute. But even the sweetest things can hold a dark secret, and would it really be considered cute anymore if that secret was exposed? (Shipping is mostly Bumblebee with Zwei but other ships may start sailing too.) Rated M for obvious reasons.

6. Team SSSN's Interesting Night Out

The morning events of today had ended and both Sage and Neptune were in their given dorms having a bit of time to themselves to think about what they had planned for the next few hours. Sun wasn't in the room at the moment, Scarlet was but wasn't relaxing and was instead looking for something in a panic.

"Oh god, where is it?" Scarlet said looking through all his belongings and drawers.

"Where's what Scarlet?" Neptune asked wondering what Scarlet was looking for.

"My sword, it's not in my bag where it normally is unless I need it." Scarlet responded still rummaging through everything he had.

"When was the last time you had it?" Sage asked getting himself into the conversation.

"I believe... last night." Scarlet said as he thought about it.

"Where were you last night?" Neptune asked also trying to boot Scarlet's memory. As Scarlet heard Neptune's question he suddenly remembered where he was and immediately dashed to the bathroom.

"Ah! There it is!" Scarlet said with relief as he found his sword next to the basin. Scarlet picked it up and returned to put it back in it's proper place but not until his teammates intervened.

"You had it in the bathroom?" Neptune asked confused as to why someone would need their weapon in a bathroom.

"Apparently." Scarlet said also not sure why it was there also.

"What reason would someone have to need their weapon inside a bathroom?" Neptune asked still not getting an answer on why Scarlet had his sword in the bathroom. As Scarlet heard him say that, he started to have a flashback from last night when he was in the bathroom alone.

"Let's do this the old fashion way." Scarlet said as he withdrew his sword. He then started to swing at nothing and even held up his sword to block an imaginary attack, this was apparently how he was training himself for future battles and he hadn't told his teammates this because he knew it would not seem right. After some time of swinging at and blocking nothing, Scarlet then finished with a huge swipe of his sword and struck a pose.

"This is my ship." Scarlet said still in his pose. As he broke out of it, Scarlet placed his sword next to the basin and exited the bathroom. As the flashback finished Scarlet had to come up with a clever lie just so he didn't have to explain his strange training habit.

"I think I saw a fly in this room and I was able to kill it with my sword as it went into the bathroom." Scarlet said covering up the story with a quite believable one.

"So you left your sword in the bathroom? And forgot about it in one day?" Neptune assumed.

"Guess so. I don't exactly have a good memory." Scarlet responded thankful that Neptune didn't see right through him.

"I hope you didn't break anything in the process." Sage said walking over to the bathroom to look for any broken glass or items.

"Wh-What?" Scarlet asked not knowing what Sage meant by that.

"Well, remember that this isn't our dorm Scarlet. The only reason we're here is because of the festival and once that's done we're going back to Haven so I wouldn't cause any damage to anything in this place if I were you." Sage responded knowing that the dorm wasn't their's and that the people who own this dorm wouldn't be happy to see they had broken something.

"Nah, I don't think I really hit anything other than the fly." Scarlet responded as he also looked around for any broken stuff too. After looking around closely for any kinds of scratches or shards, Sage assumed Scarlet was actually true to his words and didn't break anything thankfully. Scarlet then proceeded to walk to his bag and return his sword in the correct spot.

"Why were you looking for your sword in the first place?" Neptune asked out of nowhere.

"Excuse me?" Scarlet asked as he heard Neptune.

"I mean the next time we'll need our weapons is when our next match in the tournament is going underway and that's literally not gonna be happening for about a week or two from now, so I don't really get why you were looking for your sword when this is a time to just chill." Neptune replied knowing the tournament standings and when their next battle is.

"I wasn't looking for my sword when I was going through my bag but I just happened to notice it was missing when I was looking for something else." Scarlet explained as he went to look through his bag again.

"What was the thing you were trying to get before you noticed your sword was missing?" Sage asked as Scarlet wasn't being specific enough.

"This." Scarlet said as he got out a small tube of moisturising cream. "It prevents my skin from drying out and seeing as we are about to be going out at some point I thought it might be a good idea to put some on beforehand."

"Well, right now we're only going to get our photo's redone for fake ID's so I wouldn't want to just put that stuff on until we're gonna be going to the nightclub. But i'm not you so go right ahead." Neptune said before Scarlet went back to the bathroom to smooth his skin up. As Neptune and Sage went back to thinking about the plans for the next few hours, The door leading to the corridor opened with Sun entering the dorm.

"Oh hey Sun." Neptune said greeting Sun as he walked in.

"Hey there, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you guys are gonna be going soon?" Sun asked seeing as his teammates weren't in their comfy clothes like they normally are in a dorm.

"Pretty much, got some good plans for an awesome night out. You should tag along so it can be all four of us." Sage said hoping for a chance to have a night out with his whole team.

"Uuuhh... I don't know." Sun said unsure about the whole thing.

"Oh come on, what's wrong with having a night out with your team?" Sage asked with his tone going from pretty excited to kind of serious.

"I'm not saying i'm against the idea it sounds pretty great. But i'm just not feeling it at the moment, I've got to sort out these problems that i'm having." Sun replied without saying what the problems were.

"What problems are you having that is preventing you from doing something exciting?" Sage asked needing more information as what Sun just said wasn't gonna slide with him.

"I'd say it's his obsession of that girl he clearly has a crush on still." Neptune said hearing over the conversation and decided to butt in.

"Wha- What are you talking about?" Sun asked trying to mask that Neptune had managed to know what was up for some reason.

"Oh don't try to hide it Sun, it's very obvious that you're alone time sessions are just you thinking about what it would have been like to date that girl. At least that's what all your photos are telling me." Neptune said as he held up Sun's scroll that had images of Blake and Yang but Yang was replaced with Sun in a very poorly made way.

"HEY! Give me back my scroll asshole!" Sun yelled before he approached Neptune to forcefully comply to his orders. But Neptune threw Sun's scroll to Sage who managed to catch it and saw the image that Neptune had clicked on more clearly. He then went back to see if there was anything not like that but after looking through a bunch of images, there was no image that didn't involve Blake and Yang replaced with Sun.

"Oh. My. God." Sage said looking at the images with shock and concern. Before he could even look at all the images, Sun snatched his scroll from his hands and placed it back on the side.

"I specifically told you guys to not touch my fucking scroll when I was out." Sun said annoyed that a simple request was not accomplished.

"Hey man, I wouldn't have done so if it wasn't a big problem. But seeing as you've made it that way I had to." Neptune said making his reasons justified but Sun didn't feel that way.

"Why are you being such a prick? I literally said Don't touch my scroll when i'm out and you just ignore me and do it anyway!" Sun said as he did not agree with Neptune at all and making the point back to him touching his scroll when he asked him not to.

"Y'know that this isn't the first time I've known you doing this." Neptune said.

"What?" Sun & Sage asked not knowing what Neptune was talking about.

"Oh neither of you know this so I might as well let it spill." Neptune said before telling a flashback story that started with him being in a bathroom washing his hands. After that he went back to the library to meet up with Sun who was there also but as he got to the library, he saw Sun doing something on his scroll that was not like him.

"What on earth is he doing?" Neptune thought as he watched Sun from a glass window behind the door. He then slowly opened the door to not make any noise and made sure the door wasn't gonna close loudly either, he wanted to know what the hell Sun was doing but he didn't want him to know he returned. He was able to still spy on Sun through a gap of shelved books and after a while, Sun then put his scroll down and went out the library to go to the bathroom quickly. As he saw Sun leave, Neptune walked over to Sun's scroll and turned it on to see what Sun was doing and was shocked to see what it was. It was an image of Blake & Yang together but Yang had been drawn out and replaced with Sun in a very poor way. Neptune then closed out of the image but only found that the rest of Sun's photo gallery showed the same things but in different poses even explicitly, worst of all he looked at the amount of images and it counted up to 249 images in total.

"Good lord, how long has he been doing this for?" Neptune thought as he saw the image amount. He then switched off Sun's scroll and found his own seat as he had the suspicion that Sun would arrive at any moment and he wouldn't appreciate him being on his scroll. Sun then returned to find Neptune waiting for him in the library.

"Hey Neptune." Sun said as he noticed Neptune.

"Hello." Neptune said back with an unnoticeable disgusted tone.

"You didn't touch my scroll while I was away did you?" Sun asked just before he sat back down again. Neptune almost didn't know what to say, he could go on about why Sun was making those images but he needed more people to be on his side before he could get into an argument.

"No." Neptune replied without making any obvious hints that he had lied. Sun then turned on his scroll again and realised that nothing seemed too off so he assumed Neptune was telling the truth, he was about to finish his drawing but then on second thought Neptune was right there and decided not too. After a while they decided to head back to their room just so they could finish the day off.

"And that's how I know about all this." Neptune said as he finished the story.

"So, you lied to me. Your a fucking liar." Sun said starting to get angry that Neptune lied to him that day.

"I don't think that's the big issue here Sun, you've got a problem that is very concerning and I think everyone else can agree with me. Right Sage?" Neptune said turning the attention to Sage when he asked the question. Sage was just frozen in shock and disbelief, he knew Sun was sad about Blake being with Yang but he did not think it was this bad.

"I just... I don't know what to say." Sage responded finally.

"Sage! Be on my side here! I said to not touch my scroll and he does it anyway! You can't side with a liar!" Sun yelled trying so hard to convince Sage to side with him. Before Sage could make a decision, The door to the bathroom opened up as Scarlet had finished smoothing his skin.

"What's all this commotion about?" Scarlet asked as he was wondering what was with all the yelling.

"Oh hey Scarlet, glad you've decided to join in here." Neptune said mischievously as he noticed Scarlet come out the bathroom. Scarlet knew something wasn't right, Sun wasn't happy, Sage was in shock and Neptune seemed to have villainous intentions.

"Neptune, what the hell is going on here?" Scarlet asked.

"I'd say our friend Sun here has something on his scroll that he's tried to hide but I found it out." Neptune responded.

"No, I said to not touch my scroll while I was out and he's just done the opposite!" Sun yelled back.

"Sun, what's on your scroll?" Scarlet asked to Sun.

"Nothing that's too weird or of anyone's concern." Sun replied quickly.

"Bullshit. He has a lot of images depicting the same thing and-" Neptune couldn't finish his sentence as Sun had cut him off.

"Okaaay that's quite enough from you Neptune." Sun said to silence Neptune.

"Seriously Sun, what are these images that Neptune found on your scroll?" Scarlet asked knowing Sun was hiding something and he wasn't going to let it slide.

"Why don't you see for yourself?" Neptune asked before he chucked Sun's scroll to Scarlet. Scarlet was about to turn it on but Sun then tried to reason with him to not too, Scarlet ignored and let his curiosity go on. He saw the image that Sun had made but wasn't exactly shocked as Sage was.

"So, this is it? This is what all this fuss is about? I'd say you guys are just overreacting over this." Scarlet said as he only saw that image and nothing else.

"Well. According to Neptune, Sun has made 249 of those but the only difference is how their posed." Sage said explaining why he's shocked.

"Oh. I guess that is a lot of images for just one thing." Scarlet said seeing why it was a problem.

"Actually, that was only when I caught Sun making that image in the library. You might wanna see how many images he's made of that now." Neptune said knowing that it's only gotten worse. Scarlet tapped out of the image to see the image total count and instead of 249, it was now much bigger.

"635?!" Scarlet shouted in shock. "And their literally just all the same thing?!"

"Yup, glad you can see now where we're coming from." Neptune said seeing as he has managed to get Scarlet on his side.

"Jesus Sun, I knew you had a thing for that girl but I never expected you to be obsessed!" Scarlet said as he had realised how bad Sun's problem was.

"Alright so there maybe a load of images of Blake & Yang that I took and replaced Yang with me, but that doesn't change the fact that Neptune here just decided to use my scroll without my permission!" Sun said trying so hard to get Sage and Scarlet to side with him but they weren't budging.

"I don't think that's the big issue here Sun, I may have sided with you if there wasn't this many images and you didn't plan on making more but since it is I can see that this is very concerning." Scarlet said in response to Sun's attempt to get him and Sage on his side.

"Oh, I see how it is. You're only siding with him because none of you understand all the pain I've endured for so long. I was fine with Blake & Yang going out I really was, but then I saw them making out in the audience from our match against NDGO that made me change my mind. I know it's normal as they are in love, but it showed that they cared more for each other than me and that really ticked me off when I know that it could have been me with Blake and all the chances I had. But I didn't take them. Why? Because I was afraid she didn't want to see me again. But now that I haven't taken them, she's with someone else and she doesn't know or care how I've felt for so long because she's now with that stupid blonde bitch! Hell none of you even understand how I feel! You don't know what it's like to have the girl of your dreams taken away from you because of your own stupid pussy actions!" Sun said getting more angry as he continued his rant. As he finally finished ranting, Sun went to a corner and started to softly whimper in both anger and sadness. Sage, Scarlet and Neptune all looked at each other with a feeling of regret, They each knew that Sun was obsessed and had to get over it but they knew it wouldn't be easy now that Sun was in a very bad mood. Sage eventually decided to go over to Sun in an attempt to comfort him and hopefully fix him from his broken state.

"Heey no need to get so worked up, we understand you've been through a lot but you didn't have to take it out on us." Sage said with his hand on Sun's shoulder.

"Just dont. You know that Neptune started this whole thing and none of you were on my side because you all don't care about who's property belongs to who, just about what was on there." Sun said with tears in his eyes.

"It's not like that at all, we know it's your scroll but what was on there was more of a concern. We all think you should get rid of those images." Sage said telling him the right thing to do.

"Why should I? These images are the only happiness I have in my life. Am I just not supposed to be happy for the enjoyment of everyone here?" Sun asked almost wanting to blow up again but Sage immediately saw this and didn't let it happen.

"Sun! No-one here is trying to torment you! We're trying to help you out here! We know that you're upset about Blake but these images you're creating are not helping you at all! There only making things worse for you! The best thing you should do for yourself is to forget about Blake, move on and find someone else!" Sage said now having to slap some sense in Sun after hearing his nonsense.

"It's not that easy Sage, I have yet to see a girl that's a suitable replacement for Blake. And what about Keith huh? Your so called friend before you parted ways to go to Haven? He's the only one that has been in this situation before but I doubt he's got a girlfriend." Sun said making Sage remember their conversation they had a while back.

"Have you even looked at one and not even thought about Blake for that matter? As for Keith, sure he was upset when he found out that girl he had a crush on got with someone else but he never took photos of them and vandalised them to make him look like he was finally dating her. Just stop making these stupid excuses and try to find a girl that's good enough to make you stop thinking about Blake. Our night out that we have planned could actually help you find that someone!" Sage said going back to mentioning the night out that the rest of the team have planned. After some time of thinking about it, Sun eventually got up to his feet to tell Sage his decision.

"*sigh* OK Sage... I'll try, and hell I guess i'll tag along for this night out with you and the team." Sun said to Sage which brought a smile to Sage's face.

"There you go! That's the Spirit!" Sage said seeing Sun finally getting some sense in his head.

"So, is no-one going to mention that Sage had a friend before us?" Neptune asked but no-one heard him.

"So does this night out start now?" Sun asked now showing more interest in the plans that he's now a part of.

"Well, not really. We're only going into the town centre just to get our photo's done for fake ID's as none of us are 18 which we need to be to even enter where we plan on going." Sage responded.

"Oh, where exactly are we going later and what time?" Sun asked as he only just got involved a few moments ago.

"There's a nightclub that's hosting a special event tonight and it starts at around 11pm." Sage responded knowing the event through a poster they saw.

"Well Uuhhh... We might need to bring our weapons then, no idea what we might encounter and I don't think it'll be friendly." Sun said seeing as they were gonna be going at a very late time.

"There's really no need for that. The place were going to hasn't had an attack for so long and thanks to all the added security, any sign of a threat will be dealt with in an instant." Sage said thinking Sun was being very overly-dramatic.

"And besides, we don't want a repeat of what happened the last time someone brought their weapon to a public place. Neptune." Scarlet said hearing the conversation and then turning to Neptune as he said his name.

"W-What?" Neptune asked as he didn't hear the conversation but heard his name. "Who said my name?"

"I did." Scarlet responded.

"Why?" Neptune asked needing some sort of answer.

"Sun's just said that we may need to bring our weapons, it isn't needed and that's for a good reason for something that you did." Scarlet replied.

"What did I do?" Neptune asked not knowing where Scarlet was coming from.

"Don't you remember what happened at that bar we went to the other day?" Scarlet asked. Neptune was about to say no but then he started to remember that night vividly. It was a late night at the downtown bar and Sage, Scarlet and Neptune were hanging out with each other with some drinks. Neptune had barely drunk his drink compared to Sage & Scarlet as his then secret fear of water was making him worried that if he took a big gulp instead of only taking small sips like he was he would've end up almost drowning from it. After finishing their drinks, Sage & Scarlet told Neptune that they were just heading off to the toilet so he didn't feel like they left him on his own before doing so. With his friends gone, Neptune looked around the bar admiring all the atmosphere that was around him until he set his eyes on two fine looking girls walking with each other.

"Oooh, now that is a nice sight. Wonder if they've got other friends that are girls, I could totally pull it off." Neptune thought as his eyes were set on the girls he noticed. He watched them get to their table and sit down and realised that they were just sitting on their own talking to each other.

"Oh ok, it's just the two of them. Ah well, it should still be easy pickings." Neptune thought as he saw that the girls had no-one besides themselves. Neptune got up from his seat to start approaching them, but then stopped as he saw someone else sit down right next to the girls that Neptune was about to approach. The person that sat down beside the girls was not another girl, it was a big guy who sadly for Neptune had looked like he's done a lot of lifting. The guy however was not alone, he also had a group of friends who were also all guys but they were no where near as muscular as the guy who had sat down next to the girls. The girls had just let them sit down like as if they were expecting him to sit down along with his group of friends. Neptune had just watched the whole thing in envy, he got back to his seat and started to analyse all the newcomers that had stolen his chance for a pull.

"Oh these motherfuckers." Neptune thought as he looked at the guys who had sat down next to the girls that Neptune was about to chat up. "Well, maybe they'll fuck up and I'll just swoop right in and I can still have my pull. Although that big guy looks like a god, I bet secretly he's a loser. Same for his friends though they shouldn't be as much of a challenge since they don't look as buff as him." Neptune just watched the guys that sat down on the table with the girls all talking to each other along with the girls in jealousy. Eventually though the big guy had suddenly turned all his attention to the girls leaving his group of friends to just admire the atmosphere and drink their drink. This ended up being bad though as while Neptune was still watching, the group of friends of the big guy had caught Neptune spying on them and Neptune didn't know until he saw them looking straight at him which made him immediately turn away from them and tried to be as nonchalant as possible. They weren't as dumb as Neptune thought though, they even said to the big guy that they caught Neptune spying on them. The big guy didn't see this at first seeing as Neptune wasn't making any eye contact with him but then he caught Neptune make a very quick glance and immediately go back to his state acting like nothing happened. The girls noticed this too and thought that Neptune was being a creep, the big guy told the girls to wait there whilst he and his boys went to sort out Neptune. Still thinking that they didn't see him, Neptune tried to act as casual as possible without knowing that the big guy and his friends was about to do what were horrible things.

"Hey you!" The big guy yelled to Neptune. Neptune assumed that it was directed to him but he didn't show it.

"Who me?" Neptune asked.

"Yes you!" The big guy responded. "Why you looking at us like that?"

"What? I wasn't looking at you. I was just... enjoying the atmosphere." Neptune said in a desperate attempt to cover up that he'd been caught red handed.

"Fuck off with that bullshit, if that was true you wouldn't have looked away when we looked at you. I bet you're trying to get with my girls weren't you?" the big guy said realising the situation.

"What? No I-" Neptune couldn't get the words out without stuttering so much. It was impossible for him to say anything to cover up his intentions when they had been found so quickly.

"Man you some thirsty ass bitch. Let me help you with that." The big guy said before taking a bottle of freezing cold water from his hidden pocket and then squirted some of the water all over Neptune's face. Neptune reacted by covering his face and yelling in mild pain, not only was his fear of water coming into play but the temperature of the water was not exactly pleasant either. Despite this the big guy squirted more water all over Neptune's hands that were covering his face which Neptune didn't like.

"Stop! That's really cold!" Neptune cried as his hands and face was dripping wet. The big guy ignored and continued to squirt water on Neptune even in places that he wasn't covering which had him constantly change what to cover, shortly this was starting to really annoy Neptune forcing him to put a stop to this.

"I said STOP!" Neptune yelled in anger before he pulled out his gun and fired blindly in the direction where the big guy was for exactly one second. The big guy stopped squirting water as he suddenly felt the bullets penetrate his gut and start stumbling in pain and shock until he collapsed to the floor and started coughing up blood. His friends immediately went to his aid as they saw him go down. The rest of the people who were also at the bar witnessed the whole thing in shock with some of them even recording it on their scrolls.

"C'mon Joel! Stay with us here! Don't die on us!" One of the friends of the big guy said to the big guy before yelling out to someone in hopes they would call an ambulance. Neptune suddenly realised what he had caused and started having some mild regret, everyone he set his eyes on would hide in fear or hold their hands up in surrender. The bartender who was hiding when the shooting happened, managed to quietly call the emergency hotline and made a request for both an ambulance and the police to be at his bar ASAP. As he finished, he then crept over to a hidden button and pressed it to activate the bar's alarm. Sage and Scarlet who was in the bathroom drying their hands at the time and had no idea of the shooting, immediately left the bathroom as they heard the alarm go off and was presented with people hiding in fear.

"What the hell just happened?" Scarlet asked not knowing what went down.

"There's been a shooting! Someone armed with a gun shot a man!" A person at the bar exclaimed hiding behind a table.

"Well who was it?" Sage asked needing more information. The person then took a glance and then hid under the table again but had his finger pointing at Neptune. Sage and Scarlet looked at Neptune to find him holding his gun and Neptune immediately went to hide his gun behind his back as his friends looked at him.

"Neptune! What the fuck did you do?!" Scarlet asked in horror as he now knew what the situation was despite not witnessing it.

"He shot our friend! He's a god damn MURDERER!" One of the friends of Joel yelled in fear and anger with tears in his eyes. Neptune didn't say anything, it was all true and there was nothing he could say that would defend why he's not guilty. Suddenly the front door to the bar opened up with a doctor and armed police members coming through.

"Someone call for an ambulance?" The doctor asked.

"And the police?" One of the police members asked.

"Yes I did. Doctor, take this wounded man to the hospital. And officers, arrest this boy." The bartender said pointing to Joel when he said wounded man and Neptune when he said arrest this boy. The doctor and officers understood their jobs and told everyone else to get up against the wall while they did their business. Neptune was not having any of this and started to make a dash.

"HEY! STOP!" One of the officers yelled as they saw Neptune run away. Ignoring the officer, Neptune got his gun out and shot the lock out of a presumably locked door and burst through the door out the bar and started to run in the street. The officers started to give chase but one of them stayed back to use his radio.

"This is two nine four coming in with a back up request, we've got a runner who has escaped the scene of crime and is out in the street. Bring out the big ones, runner is armed and dangerous." The officer said through his radio. Neptune was just running for his life through the streets at night, having to make some detours as he stumbled upon police cars. After a very long while of evading the police as much as possible, Neptune was finally in the clear. He had no idea where on earth his friends could be but he knows they aren't going to be happy with him once they see him. After managing to catch his breath from running so much, Neptune eventually decided that the night was over because of his stupid actions and decided to find his way back to Haven.

"OK look, that guy was being an asshole and he threw water at me! You know I have a fear of water!" Neptune said as the flashback ended.

"Yeah but that's not a good reason to shoot someone!" Scarlet said as he heard Neptune's defence and thought it was pathetic.

"What was I meant to do? Just let him drown and freeze me with no ways to defend myself?" Neptune asked seeing there was no other way it could've gone down.

"No- *sigh* you could've just told him to stop." Scarlet said thinking that was the most logical thing to do.

"I did! But he kept doing it! Which is why I had no other choice!" Neptune yelled as Scarlet didn't know what it was like to be in that position.

"Both of you stop it!" Sage yelled before the conversation got any worse. "As someone who was also there in the same place at that time, I'm gonna say that both of you are not looking at this in the right way! Scarlet, you and I didn't witness any of this happen so you don't have much of a say. As for you Neptune, you shot someone in cold blood! That's it! This whole situation is a prime example as to why we should not bring any of our weapons to public places unless told so by our teachers. So stop trying to cause a scene and just forget about it!" Scarlet & Neptune had stopped as they heard Sage's point of view and had a thought about it for a while.

"*sigh* let's just go get our photo's for fake IDs before another pointless argument starts erupting again." Sage said which everyone else agreed to. Before going out, Scarlet closed the windows so no-one could sneak in while they were out. As everyone else left the room before him, Sage closed the door to their dorm and then locked it on his way out to fully prevent anyone from walking in their dorm. As they finally made it to downtown, they looked around seeing all that was offered to them in this city. But unfortunately that was suddenly interrupted by two obnoxious kids that looked to be in the sixth grade, screaming about something.

"Just found a Starnode!" One of the kids screamed in joy. He then ran down the street with the other kid behind him and stopped when he was at the place the Starnode was on his scroll. He tapped on his scroll to enter a catching event and swiped up to try and catch the Starnode with his in-game ball.

"C'mon stay in there." The kid muttered as he watched the ball shake around. After watching it roll around for a short while, The ball thankfully clamped shut with text fading in saying "Starnode was caught!" As the kid saw all this happen, he made a victory pose and screamed joyously. Sage, Scarlet and Neptune saw the whole thing happen and wasn't surprised to see someone like him enjoying the game. Sun however had no idea what was going on in the first place.

"Wait, I don't get it. What game is that kid playing?" Sun asked seeing as he was the only one on his team that had no idea what was going on.

"It's Digimal GO." Scarlet responded. "It's a new game on the scroll store and it seems to be really popular for some reason."

"I've actually played the game myself." Neptune added. "It was only exciting for like a day but then after that it just got repetitive so I uninstalled it to restore room for my scroll." As they ranted on about the game; Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune started walking again but was interrupted by someone who had managed to get their attention.

"Hey! you lot." a voice yelled from the left side of the team. Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune turned to their left to see a poorly made stand with a small group of people that were wearing a lot of merchandise that had to do with the late gorilla Jeramfay. Sage, Scarlet and Neptune immediately knew what was about to be asked as they saw what they were wearing and showed a displeased reaction. Sun however, didn't.

"I'm hoping one of you has the decency to sign this petition. It would be a great cause for the tragedy that happened at the zoo and it would make the people who work there know how we feel when they shot our hero Jeramfay." The man sitting at the stand said with a piece of paper that had the petition and a pen. Sun decided to look at the petition out of curiosity, all it said was for there to be a funeral for Jeramtay and for the person at the zoo who shot the gorilla to be fired or the zoo should be sued. The man sitting at the stand picked up the pen and gave it to Sun and then told him how to sign the petition.

"Just put you're personal details here and maybe put a comment why you're signing this, It's optional but it would help. Trust me, sign this petition and you'll feel so much better about yourself." the same man said as he guided on how to sign the petition. Sun had thoughts on it but was then cut off by his friends.

"Sun just don't." Sage said as he saw Sun almost go to sign the petition. After hearing his friend tell him not to. Sun put the pen down without signing the petition causing a bit of sadness from the man and his group.

"Oh, well the least you could do is wear one of these bracelets." the man said as he got out a container filled with bracelets that had Jeramfay on them. Sage saw this and immediately intervened.

"Thanks but no thanks." Sage said to the man as he grabbed Sun by his arm and dragged him away.

"Dicks out for Jeramfay!" one of the group members shouted through his megaphone as Sage dragged Sun to catch up with his team. Sage, Scarlet and Neptune were just groaning with dissatisfaction trying to get over all those events whilst Sun still had no idea what was going on.

"God I was hoping we were not gonna stumble upon THAT group." Scarlet said hating the fact they managed to stumble upon something he wished to not have.

"I'm completely confused now, what the hell was that and why did you stop me from signing that petition?" Sun asked seeing as he was the only one to not have the slightest clue about all this.

"All i'm gonna say is that you are very lucky to have not been on the internet for the last seven weeks." Sage said seeing that there was no way to hide what that group was promoting.

"What do you mean? What was happening during those times?" Sun asked still not getting the full picture.

"It all started, on the 28th of May. News outlets were reporting the zoo incident where a little boy fell into the gorilla's habitat and one of the gorillas Jeramfay for that matter, went up to the little boy and started dragging him around. Seeing the potential danger he could've done, One of the zoo workers shot down Jeramfay just to protect the child from getting any serious injuries and ever since that day the internet's just been blowing this way out of proportion. There's been loads of messages about Jeramfay, people mourning over his death, saying that they should've shot the kid instead and there's even been a hashtag that got trending called "DicksoutforJeramfay". It still continues to this day sadly, people like us though were smart enough to not get caught up in this conflict." Sage explained with as much detail as he remembered.

"Well, it kinda sounds too normal without some parts. I mean everyone mourns when someone they deeply love dies, I assume it's just normal to mourn something like this." Sun said sharing his point of view but it was not deemed acceptable by his team.

"I mean it is kinda tragic i'll give you that." Neptune said hearing Sun's point of view. "But I highly doubt anyone on the internet knew who Jeramfay was before he died and at the end of the day, he was just a fucking gorilla. What exactly has he done for us?" After hearing Neptune's response, Sun decided that he heard enough to assume that the internet was just overreacting and continued to follow where his teammates were going but suddenly came to a stop as he got distracted by a poster for "Une the movie". Sage looked back to see Sun not moving and having his whole body facing a different direction. Sage along with his team went to investigate what the problem was now.

"What are you looking at Sun?" Sage asked wondering why Sun had come to a halt.

"This." Sun said pointing at the poster. "Maybe if we have another night out this could be our event?" Sage, Scarlet and Neptune went up to Sun to see what he was pointing at.

"Oh i'm all up for that. A night at the cinema would be awesome! Especially for this film, it does seem pretty funny." Scarlet said seeing Sun's suggestion and agreeing.

"I'm not. I saw the trailer for this film and it's definitely not my type of film, all I saw was four guys playing a card game and just getting annoyed with each other. As much as I can see why that would be entertaining, it's just not for me." Neptune said sharing his thoughts on the movie by what he saw in the trailer.

"It's a nice suggestion Sun but we should really get our photo's done and get the fake IDs now. Not that we're in any sort of rush like the store's are gonna close soon but let's not start planning more things before we even get to do this." Sage said trying to keep his team on track. Seeing his point; Sun, Scarlet and Neptune followed behind Sage as they continued to walk to their destination thankfully without anymore distractions. As they finally arrived to their destination which was an indoor shopping centre, they walked to a photo booth which raised questions for Sun.

"Oh. Here's where were getting our photo's taken?" Sun asked a bit disappointed as he was expecting an advanced photo shop.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" Sage asked hearing Sun's disappointment.

"I swear we walked past loads of these on the way here, why this one?" Sun asked knowing they could have done this ages ago.

"Well, it's the closest to the place where were getting our fake IDs so there's less chance of it getting spoiled." Sage responded. Finally making his point, Sage then proceeded to get his photo taken in the booth. Following all the instructions the booth was telling him to do beforehand and then printed his photo when it was taken and he was happy with it. Scarlet was the next to go through the booth, then Neptune and finally Sun. With their pictures taken; Sage, Scarlet, Sun and Neptune went to the shop where the fake IDs were being sold at and requested four of them with their images on as they gave the cashier their photo's they took in the booth. After waiting patiently for their IDs, the cashier came out with their fake IDs with their photos on and gave it to them. Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune took the one that had their image on not forgetting to pay the cashier before leaving the store. As they were about to leave the city centre to head back to Beacon, someone stopped them just as they were leaving.

"Hey Sage!" a voice yelled from behind them. Sage looked back and was amazed to see who it was calling him. It was a black guy that had a fancy fedora, formal clothes and a goatee beard.

"Oh Shit! Keith!" Sage said as he recognised that voice and appearance from anywhere. Sage then ran to Keith and did their old handshake they remembered and pulled it off successfully. Sun, Neptune and Scarlet also looked back to see Keith but didn't go to greet him as they didn't know who he was like Sage.

"Dude! it's been over a year since I've seen you! How are things?" Sage asked as they finished the handshake and wanted to know what has happened since they left.

"Oh it's been pretty good man." Keith responded. "It was a bit rough in the beginning but it all turned out alright in the end. How about you? How are things up in Haven? Hope you made some new friends while I wasn't around."

"I sure have! Here with them now as a matter of fact!" Sage said as he moved around to introduce his team to Keith. Sun, Scarlet and Neptune each gave a little wave and a slight smile as Keith looked at them.

"Oh. I assume you guys met through Haven then." Keith said.

"You would be right, Haven made us a team and we've just been doing missions and hanging out." Sage said discussing how they met briefly.

"I guess you're doing one of those things now?" Keith prompted seeing that Sage was with his team.

"Yep, just got ourselves some fake IDs for the nightclub later on." Sage said holding up his fake ID. "Are you gonna be there too?"

"Sadly not, I've got to get up early tomorrow as i'm visiting my girlfriend and her parents." Keith said after Sage asked if he was gonna be at the nightclub.

"Oh! That's good to hear that you've got a girlfriend. I guess you met her after I left for Haven and is she with you now?" Sage asked not knowing that Keith had a girlfriend.

"Well, yes and no. I did meet her after you went to Haven but she's not with me now although I do have some images of me and her together." Keith said as he got his scroll out to go on his images that he took. He then pressed on one he deemed the best and showed it to Sage. Sage looked at it and saw Keith with his arm around a girl with straight purple hair, tanned skin and casual clothes.

"Huh, guess you got off pretty lucky." Sage said looking at the girl. "What's her name?"

"Her name's Mari." Keith replied. "And ever since I met her, that girl who I once had a crush on is nothing compared to this gem."

"Well that's good to hear." Sage said seeing as Keith has almost forgotten the times he had a crush on some other girl. "Since you're not going to the nightclub later on, do you wanna trade numbers so we can maybe run into each other again at some point?"

"Uuuhh, I don't know." Keith said unsure about Sage's idea to meet up again. "I'm not saying I don't like you, it's just with how things are now trying to find the time to call you would not be common as I am very busy. I assume the same applies to you I don't wanna call to meet up again at some point while you and your team are out doing a mission so there's that too."

"Oh I didn't mean it like that." Sage said having to slightly retract on what he said as he heard Keith's reasoning. "I meant like maybe around 2 to 3 months we could call and see how things are? I didn't mean to say we should call everyday cause like you said we do have conflicting schedules but at the same time I highly doubt we'll cross paths again so it would be handy if we had each others phone numbers. Maybe you could just text me when your free and if I am we'll talk, if not then I guess there's next time."

"Well, OK I'll try to notify you when i'm free but don't expect it to have any sort of pattern." Keith said as he thought about Sage's true intentions about calling each other. They then got each others phone numbers in their contracts and after that bidded them good luck and farewell. Sage then got his team to walk back to Beacon but along the way made some mentions about what him and Keith talked about.

"So, bet you feel foolish don't you Sun?" Sage asked with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" Sun asked not knowing why Sage had just asked something like that.

"I remember you saying that Keith doesn't have a girlfriend despite that he was once in the same boat as you but he has and is very happy about it. That's why I asked if you felt foolish about saying that." Sage responded.

"Oh don't be so smug." Sun said knowing why Sage was getting cocky. "Keith just got lucky, I'm not gonna get someone that is supposedly going to be better than Blake."

"Not with that attitude." Neptune said hearing the conversation between Sage and Sun.

"I'm curious about that whole Keith thing." Scarlet said deciding to get in the conversation as well. "How come you never mentioned to us that you had a friend before you met us Sage?"

"Didn't think I was gonna run into him." Sage responded. "Once I went to Haven, I never saw him again until now. I didn't think mentioning him to you guys was necessary since I didn't expect to see him again."

"Wouldn't it have been a good idea to get his number before you left for Haven?" Neptune asked quizzical about Sage's response. "I know it's not as personal as meeting face to face but surely that would've given the both of you at least something so you guys can talk about anything new."

"Well, this is gonna sound strange but... I didn't have a scroll until I moved to Haven." Sage said causing a lot of surprised tones from his team. "That's why I didn't ask for his number beforehand. If I did have a scroll I certainly would have but sadly I didn't."

"How did you not have a scroll at that time?" Sun asked seeing as these events happened only almost a year ago and scrolls had been around for years.

"I dont know." Sage said trying to think why he didn't own a scroll like everyone else. "I guess I was kinda neglectful of the scrolls at that time but now that I have one, I realised how stupid I was for not knowing how useful these things are." After some time of talking about why Sage didn't have a scroll until last year, Neptune's scroll suddenly went off making him check what it was.

"Is that a text from that girl you went to the dance with?" Scarlet asked getting ready to make fun of him.

"Nope, it was a notification from Boochube." Neptune responded quickly. "It's telling me that JFY has posted a new video."

"Who the hell is JFY?" Sun asked not familiar with all this stuff. "And what the hell is Boochube?!"

"Boochube is a place that people go on to make and watch videos and it's been popular for years. JFY is someone who makes content on that website." Sage explained briefly.

"He's also part of a group called Henchmen. They all do a lot of soccer challenge videos together and I remember they did a soccer charity match against the Boochube all-stars about a month ago." Scarlet said going in more detail about JFY.

"Oh, who won?" Sun asked knowing what soccer was.

"Well you haven't seen it yet so I don't want to say." Scarlet said knowing that Sun has never been on Boochube at all. "I do remember a phenomenal highlight that I will tell you though. It was basically just as they restarted from a goal, one of the Henchmen kicks for the goal from halfway across the stadium and it went in. It wasn't caught on camera sadly but from a replay perspective it was incredible."

"Their also coming out with a book soon, I'm definitely getting myself a copy once it comes out." Neptune said joining in on the conversation.

"Huh, guess this Boochube sounds like a good thing to pass time." Sun said hearing all the things the Henchmen had achieved. "I'll give the Henchmen a look and maybe other people who do this kind of thing."

"Uuuhh... I wouldn't look at some of the things that are popular." Sage said knowing something that Sun doesn't.

"What do you mean by some of the things?" Sun asked seeing as Sage wasn't specific enough when he said that.

"Now don't get me wrong, Boochube has a lot of good content but there's also just as much content that us lot here consider to be bad." Sage responded.

"What exactly is this content that you guys consider bad?" Sun asked as he hadn't got an answer yet.

"Over there is an example." Scarlet said looking and pointing his finger down the street. Sun looked at him briefly to notice this and then looked down the street to see a huge black guy fighting a young white male.

"Stop please! It was just a prank bro!" The young white male exclaimed in fear as he tries to stop the black guy from beating his puny ass.

"Oh my god, isn't someone gonna help him?" Sun asked concerned for the guy when he shouldn't have been.

"They shouldn't, he deserves everything that's coming to him." Sage responded harshly.

"What kind of content is this?" Sun asked not knowing the situation.

"Well, if you didn't hear him he said the word prank. There's a lot of pranks that just take things too far and they just look cringey. Not saying all pranks are bad, there are harmless pranks that some people do on their friends and those are ok. But most of these pranksters that are popular right now just seem to think that harassing and annoying random people on the street makes for a funny prank when really it doesn't." Neptune said explaining his opinion on certain prank videos.

"They also have false titles just to get people to watch them. Some examples are IN THE HOOD, GONE SEXUAL and ALMOST GOT SHOT." Sage said mentioning the shitty clickbait titles they add to their videos.

"Oh OK, forget when I asked for someone to help him then." Sun said now knowing why the black guy was beating up the white guy. "Is there anything else on this site that you guys consider to be shit as well?"

"I'd say reaction videos." Scarlet responded with Sage and Neptune showing a lot of disgust.

"What do these reaction videos do that you guys think is bad?" Sun asked.

"Oh there's a lot of reasons." Neptune responded getting his scroll out. "The whole concept behind these reaction videos is just to watch the video and just watch it without any reaction like this." Neptune then stared blankly at his scroll giving Sun a good point as to why these kind of videos might seem bad.

"Huh, those kind of videos do seem quite pointless." Sun remarked seeing the example Neptune gave of them."

"It's also bad how the people behind those videos defend them as well." Sage said sharing his thoughts. "They say that it's just free promotion and they encourage their viewers to like what they saw. When in reality, no-one knew who the fuck they were until they started doing this stuff, and also every person they watched a video of doesn't like what their doing since they just watched it without permission."

"The only decent channel I can think of that is based around reaction stuff is the Stine Bros but even they are scummy assholes." Neptune said still ranting on about reaction videos. "The Stine Bros are what the people behind the reaction videos are doing but they did it way before they have and they always asked for permission. The only reason why they are scumbags though is because they made a program which was to give them licensing rights to the word react."

"Doesn't that sound like a good thing?" Sun asked thinking that the reasons why Neptune didn't like the Stine Bros could've been useful. "I mean if there's all these bad reaction videos that you guys talked about on this site, wouldn't this essentially get rid of them?"

"Well maybe, but I highly doubt it would only apply to them." Scarlet said backing up Neptune. "By that I mean what if there was a person that didn't base his videos off reacting but decided to make one sorta like that with the word react in the title? If the Stine bros found out about that video, they would take it down and possibly even get the person in jail for it unless the person went with their licensing. Thankfully though because of this, they lost a lot of fans which made them have to throw away their program but it was too late by that time."

"So, if I was to make a video on this site that had the word "react" on it even though my other videos don't do that kind of video The Stine Bros would take it down if they found out about it if this programme went through?" Sun asked getting sceptical about the Stine Bros situation.

"Well, unless you suckered into their licensing programme then sadly yes, but thankfully they got rid of the programme thanks to their fans just abandoning them. To be honest if the Stine Bros did have the licensing rights to the word I wouldn't be surprised if someone walked up to them and said react and they just went like "IF YOU WANT TO USE THAT WORD AGAIN, JOIN OUR LICENSING PROGRAMME OR WE'LL SEND YOU TO JAIL BITCH!" Scarlet said making a hilariously bad impersonation of the Stine Bros.

"After saying all that I can see why they made a bad decision, I guess if they wanted to keep their fans they should not have even created that program in the first place." Sun said after chuckling at Scarlet's impersonation. Sun then asked if there was any other bad stuff on Boochube but his team responded saying that it's not worth talking about and went back to Beacon finally. As they waited for the time to come, Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune got ready to go to the nightclub and set off. They headed into the city and managed to find the place which unfortunately had a long queue so they had to wait for about an hour before they could even get in. As Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune were about to proceed into the nightclub place, the bouncer stopped them to see their ID which they got out and gave him. The bouncer looked at each of their IDs and after looking at them for a while decided they were good and let them through. The nightclub seemed like any kind of nightclub, it had a dance floor with a DJ blasting house music and a bar serving alcoholic beverages and the like. Some people in the club were dancing to the music, Some were sitting at a table with a drink and there was a table with a small group of people that were smoking some weed. Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune immediately went over to the bar to order their drinks and watched the dancers dancing to the music played by the DJ. As the music came to an end, the bartender served the drinks Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune had ordered and they each took a sip as they continued to watch the dance floor. The DJ grabbed his microphone to make a little speech as the music stopped to keep the crowd entertained.

"Thought you all might like that." The DJ said through his mic. "Hope your all still having a good time as I continue to play this music, next one is another one from a few years ago. So I hope it brings some memories." The DJ set his microphone down as he finished speaking and started to press a couple buttons until more music played. No one knew what the DJ was playing as it sounded like a very standard progressive house song for a minute until a distinctive guitar started playing. As the guitar strummed away everyone immediately knew it was Titanium by David Guetta but it seemed like the DJ found an extended version of the song. As the singing came in everyone who heard the song a certain amount of times started singing along in harmony. The song suddenly started to build more with the intention that a drop was about to happen as it came to this the DJ immediately picked up his microphone again to get the crowd excited.

"Alright here comes the best bit. Everyone put your hands in the air waving like you don't care. AND MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE!" The DJ said just before the drop happened with his last words being shouted. As the drop came the whole room exploded with lights and everyone on the dance floor and the DJ was jumping around with the beat whilst Sage, Sun, Scarlet and Neptune watched from the bar nodding along to the music with their drinks in hand. The lights faded and everyone stopped jumping around as the song went back to the verse with all the people who knew the song singing the words in harmony again. The song went back to the build and instead of grabbing his microphone like before, the DJ then took a couple steps back from his set and waited for the drop to happen. As the drop came again the lights suddenly went bright again, the crowd started jumping again and the DJ was just dabbing away. Sage, Scarlet and Neptune each closed their eyes and gave an expression of cringe as they saw the DJ dabbing but Sun didn't know what to make of it as he never heard of dabbing before. The drop had stopped and the song went into it's breakdown, and the lights were illuminating on two dancers on the dance floor that were dancing very romantically. One of them was a boy who had a nerdy look with short styled hair and seemed to be around the same age as Sun, Sage,
Scarlet and Neptune. The other was a girl who had straight blonde hair and seemed only slightly older than the boy by about two years. Sage looked at the two dancers and was shocked as he realised who they were. He didn't expect them to be in a place like this as he had thoughts that they wouldn't feel like this nightclub was a place for them but he was proven wrong. The dancers continued their routine as the song continued to play coming to the final build up and drop and when the drop came the lights shined the place up again and everyone except Sun, Sage, Scarlet and Neptune were dancing like mad. The song then eventually came to it's outro and everything had calmed down except for people waving their hands in the air as the song was ending. As the song finished, the people on the dance floor were cheering and the DJ got his microphone again.

"All right! That was amazing, you all really lit this place up." The DJ said through his mic. "Still got more tunes to blast through but first, someone wants to give you a little message." The DJ set his mic down again after making that statement and put on a very random song that a large portion of the people in the nightclub didn't know what was playing. The DJ had put on get out my swamp by Tom MC feat. Shrek and Skrill and there were less people dancing to the song as only a handful of them knew the song or was just dancing for the sake of dancing. After 37 seconds of hearing a repeated bass drum kick and an edited line from the movie Shrek, the synth came in which made the lights turn the whole nightclub green with pictures of Shrek and text saying "SHREK IS LOVE SHREK IS LIFE" for the whole duration of the song. Sun, Scarlet and Neptune watched all this very confused as to what was going on and Sun had a small glimpse at his team for a little bit wondering if they all had the same expression except for Sage and assumed so before looking back at the dance floor, Sage was still in shock as he saw the two people he would never have thought to have seen in a nightclub. The song was thankfully short and as it ended, the DJ went to grab his mic but stopped himself from saying what he was gonna say as he saw the majority of the crowd give him weird looks.

"What the fuck was that?" someone on the dance floor asked loudly to be heard over the part of the crowd still cheering.

"Uh oh, looks like I brought the whole crowd's enthusiasm down accidentally." The DJ thought realising that it wasn't a good idea to have played that song but it was too late now.

"Uuuhh... if anyone needs me, i'll be in the bathroom." The DJ said before placing his mic down and leaving the stage. The people on the dance floor went back to their seats seeing as there was gonna be no music for a while. Sun looked at his teammates to ask a genuine question.

"So, does this happen often? Do DJ's just make a mistake and then they leave to think about their actions?" Sun asked to his team.

"Not really." Neptune responded. "Don't really know what went through his mind to think it was a good idea to play a song like that. Although I don't know if this is the worst mistake as there was one not long ago with another DJ."

"Oh, what happened there?" Sun asked as he heard Neptune mention another incident with a DJ.

"Well as the music was playing, he got out a drill that had some corn on the end of it, fired up the drill and attempted to try and eat all of it. Like we expected, it went horribly wrong and he ended up destroying his front teeth and me, Sage and Scarlet looked at him and thought; what a fucking idiot." Neptune said explaining the incident and sharing his thoughts on it.

"Is he still alive? The DJ?" Sun asked slightly concerned that he wasn't mentioned after he did the stupid thing that he did.

"I assume so, it wasn't a life threatening disaster as he only lost some of his teeth though no one has heard of him since that day and it's probably because he's too embarrassed to show himself again after that incident. I know I would be." Neptune replied.

"Well as long as he got them fixed up or replaced i'm pretty sure at some point everyone would've forgotten that incident. Hell I bet even Scarlet and Sage here probably forgot it themselves already." Sun said looking at Scarlet and Sage as he said there names. After he finished his sentence, Sun had a feeling that something was off with Sage and looked back at him to see that he was right. Sage had the most shocked look on his face and was not moving or anything. Sun tried to get Sage's attention by waving in front of his face and calling his name but it didn't work. Sun then clapped in front of Sage and called his name louder which made him snap out of his shocked state and turn his attention to Sun.

"You OK?" Sun asked Sage now that he had his attention. "You looked like you had seen a ghost or something like that."

"I... I saw them." Sage said which no one understood what he meant.

"W-What? Who did you see?" Scarlet asked seeing as he didn't know what Sage was talking about.

"Well Sun, do you remember me talking about a girl that Keith liked but didn't tell her? I saw her on the dance floor with her boyfriend." Sage said having to explain what he meant previously.

"Oh. Do you happen to know their names?" Sun asked knowing what Sage was talking about more than Scarlet and Neptune.

"Noah and Courtney." Sage replied. "Courtney's the girl and Noah's her boyfriend."

"Why are you so shocked to see them?" Neptune asked remembering that Sage was in a state of shock.

"I just... didn't think they would be in a place like this." Sage responded.

"Maybe they thought it would be a nice idea for a date? I'm just guessing though." Scarlet remarked before finishing his drink and setting the glass down. "Be with you guys in a minute." Scarlet then got up and made his way to the bathroom. After a short while after Scarlet went to the bathroom, Neptune saw some girls sitting alone with each other and decided to make his move so as not to end up having another repeat of what happened at the bar not too long ago leaving Sage and Sun alone with each other.

"Don't know why Neptune's going after girls." Sage said as he saw why Neptune left them. "Doesn't he have one back at Beacon?"

"Eh, just let him do his thing." Sun responded. "If his girl ever finds out it's mostly his fault anyway."

"That's a bit harsh there Sun." Sage said hearing what Sun said. "I mean sure Neptune is setting himself up for a bad time but we should at least remind him of what he might lose."

"I don't think he really cares. As soon as he sees some pretty girls, he doesn't care much about anything else." Sun said knowing the mindset that Neptune has.

"Sun, does this have to do with Neptune exposing what was on your scroll?" Sage asked not understanding Sun's attitude. Before Sun could even respond, someone had walked up to them to ask something shocking.

"Hey, it's Sage isn't it?" a voice asked from behind Sage. Sage looked back and could not believe his eyes. It was Noah, not only was he here but he somehow knew who Sage was.

"Uuuuhhh... maybe?" Sage responded having to answer Noah's question. Despite that Sage knew about him, he never met Noah personally so he didn't know how Noah knows his name.

"Was talking to my girlfriend over there and she said that she recognises you, apparently you used to hang out with another friend of hers. Keith right?" Noah mentioned going over why he came over to Sage. Sage finally understood the whole thing now, there were times when he did see Courtney thanks to Keith and they got on ok but there were times when they did get in a bit of an argument over spending time with Keith. Sage didn't think she would've remembered him though.

"*sigh* yep I remember him alright." Sage replied knowing that he can't make up anything to make him not seem like himself. "What does she want with me anyway?"

"Just to see if you're available to come over and talk, it has been a while since you have seen her I assume." Noah replied.

"Well, it would be nice to catch up but I do have company. Can't just leave him on his own." Sage said pointing towards Sun.

"Oh. You two going out or something?" Noah asked with a smirk.

"No you dingus." Sage responded not liking the way Noah asked that. "Also there were more people but their off doing their own thing so I don't really want to move."

"It's fine Sage." Sun said hearing the conversation between Noah and Sage. "If any of them comes back before you I'll tell them where you are."

"Alright then, see you later." Sage said before going with Noah to meet up with Courtney leaving Sun all by himself. Sun looked around the nightclub whilst drinking his drink, there was no music as the DJ was presumably still in the bathroom after his bad move. After looking around for a while though, Sun suddenly set his eyes on a girl sitting on her own and suddenly went into a little fantasy of her swishing her hair slowly and winking at his direction. As his fantasy came to an end, Sun had now found the reason to why he came here and walked up to the girl with his drink in hand so he didn't seem too out of place.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit next to you?" Sun asked the girl in the most normal way possible. Despite having some sceptical thoughts, the girl let Sun sit next to her seeing as she had no one else to talk too.

"Thanks." Sun said as he got settled in his new seat. Sun then had a little sip of his drink before setting it down as the girl asked him something.

"So I guess you came here alone?" The girl asked Sun as he had just walked up to her without anyone else.

"Nah I came here with friends, three to be exact but one of them is in the bathroom and the other two are talking to other people." Sun responded.

"Oh, who exactly are these people that your friends are talking too?" The girl asked curious about Sun's answer.

"Well, one of them is catching up with old friends I believe and the other is just trying to get a one night stand." Sun responded whilst looking at Sage talking to Noah and Courtney as he mentioned him and the same with Neptune as he mentioned him also. The girl was able to know who Sun was talking about with the person trying to get a one night stand but not so much with the other. "What about you? Are your friends busy with something else or is it just you here?"

"Yeah i'm in the same boat as you." The girl responded. "The people I came with are getting ready to leave this place. I've been ready for a while but the others needed more time to get ready so I've just been sitting here waiting for them. Glad you're around for some company though."

"Your welcome. My name's Sun if you were gonna ask." Sun said finally coming around to introduce himself. "What's yours?"

"Spitfire. My name's Spitfire." The girl responded.

"Huh, nice name." Sun said as a compliment. Sun and Spitfire continued to have a conversation until some guy went up to them.

"Hey Spitfire, we're all ready to go." The guy said to Spitfire. The guy also noticed Sun sitting next to her and gave him an odd look. "What th- Who the hell are you?"

"Sun." Sun responded slowly. "And I would ask the same thing to you."

"Don't you get lippy with me boy, I will kick your fucking ass if you do." The guy said stiring up hostility for no reason.

"Whoa Jesus, wasn't trying to start a fight man." Sun said surprised at the guys sudden hostility.

"Better not be, I've beaten better punks than you. Spitfire, let's go." The guy said before storming off. As the guy became hostile, Spitfire had her head in her hand in disapproval.

"Why does he do this every time?" Spitfire thought. "Can't I just have a bit of freedom without him intervening?"

"So... I guess you're going now?" Sun assumed after the guy went off.

"Yeah, don't know why he had to do that." Spitfire said disliking the guy's actions.

"Your telling me, who the hell was that guy anyway?" Sun asked as he didn't get his name.

"His name's Soarin, he isn't a bad guy he just tends to misunderstand things a lot." Spitfire responded explaining to Sun a little bit about Soarin.

"Is he your boyfriend or something like that?" Sun asked setting himself up for depression.

"No, we're not dating." Spitfire responded quickly before telling Sun more about Soarin. "We're just a team and he doesn't like it if there's something or someone that could potentially screw up the team and he takes any opportunity to make sure it doesn't happen. Sometimes it's necessary but the other times not so much."

"Oh OK. Well since he's not here and your gonna be going soon, do you want to hang out with me at some point?" Sun asked feeling like he was setting himself up for failure again.

"Uuuuhhh... I'm not too sure." Spitfire said thinking about it. "Don't get me wrong you seem like a really nice guy and all but, with the way my life is I can't see myself being available anytime soon. I could be available next week if that's ok with you."

"Oh that's good for me certainly." Sun said. "Where exactly do you plan on meeting up and what time should I be there?"

"Haven't even thought about that yet." Spitfire responded. "Let's trade numbers and I'll text you when I've got something planned." Sun then told Spitfire his number and Spitfire did the same thing back and a familiar voice called out to Spitfire as they completed the transaction.

"Hey Spitfire! C'mon let's go!" Soarin yelled getting impatient.

"Well I've sadly got to go, see you maybe next week." Spitfire said to Sun before going with Soarin. Sun said his little goodbye to Spitfire before sitting down at his original spot, there he found Sage and Neptune who were done talking to the people they were previously talking to looking at him with looks of hope on their faces.

"So how'd it go? Did you manage to pull?" Sage asked as he had seen Sun talking to Spitfire for a little bit.

"Read it and weep." Sun said showing Spitfire's number on his contacts.

"Awwwwh Duuude! Nice going man!" Neptune said congratulating Sun on his success. "So when's the date? Tomorrow?"

"Nah she said her life is quite busy but she could be available next week." Sun responded.

"Well, it's just good to hear that you've got someone so you no longer have to obsess over Blake." Sage said happy that Sun has someone. "What's her name by the way?"

"Her name's Spitfire." Sun responded. As the conversation of Sun and Spitfire continued, Scarlet had finished up in the bathroom and rejoined with his team.

"Hey Scarlet, glad you could join us." Sun said with a joyous expression.

"Wait, what did I miss?" Scarlet asked not knowing why Sun was in such a good mood.

"Well believe it or not, Sun here has gotten himself a girlfriend." Neptune said explaining Sun's joyful mood.

"Oh, good for you." Scarlet said now knowing why Sun was pretty happy. "So... does the date start tomorrow?"

"Nah I've talked to her and she says that because of her busy life she wouldn't be available anytime soon but she did say she may be available next week." Sun replied. The rest of the night was just spent with the team talking about Sun's achievement and what had happened throughout the day. One week later, the whole team was back at Beacon with Sun going through his clothes asking what would be good to wear on his date.

"I'd try to look your best man." Sage said hearing Sun ask on what he's gonna wear on his date. "I doubt you'll get a second date if you look like trash on the first, look out for a nice suit."

"Yeah that's a problem Sage, I don't have a suit that's worth a shit ton of money. All the clothes I have are just the casual style clothes I get at some clothing shop downtown." Sun said hearing Sage's suggestion whilst still going through his clothes.

"We could quickly go down to a store that sells those kind of suits and get you sorted beforehand." Neptune suggested.

"There's not gonna be enough time." Sun said immediately. "Not only trying to find a place that sells them but to get one for my size would take too long as I have to be at the place for my date in twenty minutes."

"Well who's fault is that?" Neptune asked. Sun suddenly stopped rummaging through his clothes and was about to give Neptune a piece of his mind but stopped himself as it wasn't worth it.

"Neptune, I don't have the time to argue." Sun said seriously. "I've asked you and Sage to help me out here, that's it. Stop giving me this bullshit."

"What's all this fuss about?" Scarlet asked coming out the bathroom.

"Hey Scarlet, could use some help here if you can." Neptune said as he noticed Scarlet.

"What's the problem?" Scarlet asked.

"Sun here is needing something to wear for his date but can't find something suitable in his pile of clothes." Neptune responded pointing at Sun.

"Guessing he doesn't have a nice expensive suit then." Scarlet assumed hearing the problem.

"Not only that but, he doesn't have the time to go get one as the date happens in twenty minutes." Sage said adding in on the problem as well.

"Well... I'll let him use mine then." Scarlet said which made Sun shocked and surprised at what he said.

"Wait. What?" Sun asked confused.

"I mean if you don't have a nice suit and you're about to go on a date then I'll happily provide you with one." Scarlet said reassuringly.

"Sorry to be rude but, when have you owned a suit? Let alone one that makes you look like a baller." Sun asked as he never heard Scarlet owning a suit before.

"I first bought it when me, Neptune and Sage went to one of our night out events, though I haven't used it since as I felt like it didn't really suit me. You're welcome to use it for any future dates." Scarlet said before he showed off his suit that he was talking about to Sun. As Sun saw the suit he was amazed at how the suit looked, it looked like a proper business suit with designs that could make anyone look like they made a million dollars a day. Sun tried it on and it felt like it fitted and suited him perfectly. As he looked in the mirror to see how he looked, Sun knew that he was ready for his date.

"Thanks Scarlet! You're a real life saver." Sun said after he admired how he looked in the mirror.

"Nice! Now you just have to make sure that the date wasn't a setup." Neptune said which Sun thought Neptune was raining on his parade.

"Sorry, What?" Sun asked as he heard the shocking but dumb statement from Neptune.

"I'm just sayin', what if it's not from Spitfire? There was that guy you mentioned; Soarin his name was I remember, who didn't like you hanging out with Spitfire as he seemed like her boyfriend so he could've sent the date plans from her phone to tell you to stay away." Neptune said explaining what he meant.

"Neptune, how many times do I have to say it? They are only part of a team and that's it. There has never been any sort of love connection with them at all." Sun said having to repeat that statement to Neptune for the fiftieth time.

"How does being a team stop you from love? Hell Blake and Yang were part of a team but that didn't stop them from making out and having sex with each other." Neptune said bringing Blake and Yang's love life into it just to make his point more solid.

"Neptune, quit it." Sage said having to share his thoughts on their stupid argument. "The whole point of this is so Sun can stop obsessing over Blake. This isn't just for his sake, it's for the team as well. So unless you want to go back with having to deal with Sun's obsession, I'd shut your god damn mouth. Comprende?"

"Alright fine jeez." Neptune said having to stop before Sage attacked him. "All i'm gonna say to you Sun is if the date goes bad, don't come crying to me." Sun completely ignored Neptune and set off for his date with Spitfire. Despite some of the time wasted thanks to Neptune, Sun was able to get to the place where his date was at a reasonable time around the plan. Unfortunately Sun didn't see Spitfire anywhere around the place even though he had arrived at a reasonable time. Sun was about to text Spitfire where she was but then heard her voice which stopped him.

"Sun?" Spitfire asked in front of Sun. Sun immediately put his scroll down and saw Spitfire.

"Oh hey Spitfire." Sun said seeing Spitfire thankfully. "I'll admit, I was gonna text you to ask where you were but now I don't have to!"

"Yeah. Mind if I ask where you got that suit?" Spitfire asked. Sun obviously knew what she meant but he knew he didn't have to say the truth entirely as it would not seem likely anyway, he just had to make it seem more believable where he got it.

"Well, my dad decided to give it to me after he said it doesn't fit him anymore." Sun replied changing Scarlet with his dad.

"Huh that was generous of him." Spitfire said looking at all the awesome details of the suit. "Maybe for one of our dates you can introduce me to him."

"Bit of a problem with that." Sun said as he heard Spitfire's suggestion. "I haven't seen my dad since I was thirteen but he does send me letters on Christmas to know he's still alive."

"Oh." Spitfire said feeling awkward as she had made Sun bring something deep into the conversation accidentally. "Well let's just start this date already."

"Of course." Sun said agreeing with Spitfire. Sun and Spitfire started walking together with their hands connected until they came up to a nearby Starducks where Spitfire had planned to have the date. Sun looked at the place and had some questions.

"Wait, if this was the place you wanted to go for a date why did you say to meet up at the park?" Sun asked confused as to why they were at a Starducks despite that the plan he thought was to have a walk in the park.

"Well, it is a nice place to talk. Also I had to mention the park because Soarin has a habit of looking through my scroll for conversations I have with people that he doesn't particularly like. If I had said to meet up with you here, he would've made me take him with me just so he can watch over the date which I knew wouldn't have made the date any better. I mentioned the park because he would assume I was meeting up with an old friend or family member so that's my safe place." Spitfire explained as to why they had to meet up at the park instead of Starducks.

"Can't you lock your scroll with a password?" Sun asked seeming as that would be a good idea. "I mean if Soarin is looking through your phone and you don't like it, surely locking it with a password would stop him from doing so."

"I tried, but Soarin forced me to give him the password otherwise he would kick me from the team." Spitfire responded. Sun didn't know how to feel about that, he knew Soarin was quite protective of the team but he didn't think it was that extreme.

"Uuhhh... let's just get our drinks before this doesn't go well." Sun said in an attempt to stop the date going awkward, Spitfire agreed and went with him. As they ordered their drinks, they found a table with two seats and sat down to chat whilst they waited for their drinks.

"So besides Soarin, is there anyone else on your team?" Sun asked starting the conversation.

"Yeah, there's quite a few people in the team. We have a new recruit called Rainbow Dash but me and the team like to call her Rainbow Crash since she did poorly in our academy." Spitfire replied. "How about you? What academy are you attending at the moment?"

"Well, right now i'm attending Haven academy don't know if you've heard of it. And the team that I got assigned to has all the friends I went with at that bar where I saw you." Sun replied saying that the friends he had was also part of his team.

"Ooh, what are their names?" Spitfire asked seeing the conversation had turned interesting.

"Sage, Scarlet and Neptune. Those aren't nicknames that I call them, that's their actual names." Sun responded.

"Of course." Spitfire said despite that she wasn't thinking that those names were nicknames. "So what is it you guys do as a team?"

"A lot of things." Sun said but knew he wasn't specific enough. "I can't really go into too much detail as there is a lot we do and explaining it all would be too much but when we have free time we often hang out downtown."

"Alright then." Spitfire said a bit unsatisfied with Sun's answer. She then changed the subject to going back to his suit "Do you mind if I ask you something a bit personal?"

"Sure, what's on your mind?" Sun asked back.

"Have you done this before? Dating I mean? I'm not gonna be shallow and call you a loser if you haven't but, with that suit it's hard to believe that you haven't." Spitfire said having her eyes fixed on Sun's suit when she mentioned it and then back at Sun's face when she finished her sentence.

"Well... I haven't been on a proper date before." Sun responded as he thought about it. Before he could say anymore the Starducks employee called out his and Spitfire's order number and Sun went to collect their drinks. Sun then gave Spitfire her drink and sat down with his own in hand before continuing on what he was about to say. "Though there was a girl that I remember helping out a lot. I would always be on her side even if some of the things she needed help with didn't really make a lot of sense but that was only because I had a crush on her. There were times when I could've asked her out but I decided against it as I felt she would've thought that I was weird or that I wasn't her type."

"Huh." Spitfire said hearing everything. "Do you happen to remember her name?"

"Blake." Sun responded. "I didn't really know if she did have any sort of love connection with me and I didn't want to find out the hard way. But that's been confirmed false as she's dating someone else now."

"Looks like she missed a great opportunity, hopefully the guy she's with now is just as much as a gentleman as you are." Spitfire said proudly.

"Uuuuhhhmmmm..." Sun said as he knew Spitfire hadn't known who Blake was dating but he couldn't get the words out.

"What? is the guy a jerk or something?" Spitfire asked thinking that Sun had met the guy and he was an asshole.

"Well, no but... it's not a guy, it's a girl." Sun replied finally getting his words out.

"Wha- OH!" Spitfire remarked as she realised what Sun had said. "Sorry I assumed anything but, since you said she let you hang around with her for supposedly a long time I thought she would've dated a guy who was like you. I didn't expect her to come out as a lesbian."

"It's alright, I was shocked too when I heard it the first time as well." Sun said letting Spitfire know she wasn't alone. "But enough about me, how about you? I highly doubt i'm your first date."

"You'd be correct." Spitfire said not surprised that Sun had assumed correctly. "I've managed to get some dates here and there despite my busy lifestyle but I haven't gotten any long-term relationship with anyone I've dated so far."

"What went wrong? Oh wait let me guess, it's to do with Soarin right?" Sun assumed immediately after asking his question.

"Well, for the vast majority of it yes. But for the ones that didn't have to do with Soarin it was just after I dated them for some time I just felt like they weren't the type of guy for me." Spitfire responded telling Sun that not all of her dating failures was because of Soarin.

"I'm not really surprised by that." Sun said before taking a sip from his drink as it had finally cooled down. "Although speaking of Soarin, What are you doing with him and your team nowadays?"

"Well other than getting more recruits, we've just been touring over the country and keeping everything good at the academy." Spitfire replied as she also took a swig of her drink as it was cool enough now. "How about you? What are you and your team up to these days?"

"Not trying to brag but me, my team and my academy are taking part in a special event called the Vytal festival up in another academy called Beacon. There's a tournament happening with two other academies besides mine and Beacon that are also participating in this as well." Sun replied.

"Oh, well where was my academies invite?" Spitfire asked not knowing about this festival and feeling like she and her whole academy got left out.

"Beats me, I didn't make this tournament happen i'm just a participant. Maybe the creators of this festival don't know about your academy or they got something against it." Sun assumed before taking another swig of his drink. "What does your academy do? Just to ask."

"We specialise a lot in planes and jets." Spitfire replied. "What exactly does that have to do with why we weren't invited anyway?"

"Well there's your reason." Sun responded now knowing why Spitfire's academy wasn't invited. "The academies that were invited train their students for fighting, not flying. And this tournament is of course a fighting competition so if your academy was invited to this, I wouldn't expect the participants in your academy to get very far in this competition."

"Well, it still sucks that we weren't invited. But I guess you're right, my academy isn't known for fighting with ground weapons." Spitfire said now seeing why her academy wasn't invited in the first place. Sun and Spitfire continued to have a conversation whilst drinking their drinks with a part of it involving Sun asking Spitfire what academy she was attending with her replying Wonderbolts. As they finished their drinks, Sun and Spitfire threw the empty cups in the first trash can they could find and continued their date by continuing to chat with each other whilst they walked back to the park that they met up in to say their goodbyes.

"I guess this date is over, but it was really nice to get to know you. We should do this again at some point." Sun said having a feeling their date had come to an end but didn't want to forget the good part about it.

"We should, although I can't guarantee it'll be soon due to my busy life." Spitfire said also agreeing that the date was pretty good despite it ending now.

"Oh it's fine, as long as there's a day when we're both free we should take that opportunity to meet up again." Sun said letting Spitfire know the perfect time for dates.

"I like your enthusiasm Sun." Spitfire said trying not to blush. "I just hope that Soarin could see what makes you so special."

"You shouldn't worry about him so much." Sun said. "Like you said, as long as he doesn't find out about you and me he's not gonna do anything about it."

"That is true to be honest. I can finally have dates now that I know how to avoid Soarin having to tag along." Spitfire said admitting that she forgot about her safe spot.

"That's right. And until the day comes, I'll see you then." Sun said before bringing his hand up to gesture a handshake. Spitfire saw this but didn't go to shake Sun's hand, she instead placed her hands around Sun's head and brought his lips onto hers both shocking and satisfying Sun in both ways. Spitfire then departed from the kiss after some time but kept her hands around Sun's head. Sun was just frozen with a surprised reaction after the kiss was made.

"You got it cutie pie." Spitfire said softly before removing her hands from Sun's head and then walking away proud of what she did, Sun then walked back to Beacon after seeing Spitfire depart still having a shocked face and went into his dorm with Sage, Scarlet and Neptune waiting for him to arrive from his date. As they saw Sun's face; Sage, Scarlet and Neptune didn't know what to make of it as Sun had a face they weren't expecting to come from a date.

"Well... how'd it go?" Sage asked wondering why Sun was so shocked but worried that the date went horribly. Sun didn't do anything for a few moments, but then broke into a celebratory scream and pose which made everyone know how the date went. Sage and Scarlet congratulated him on his success whilst Neptune was surprised to see that Sun had managed to pull it off.

"Hah! Nice going Sun! I knew you could pull this off!" Sage said letting Sun know he had every kind of faith in him.

"Thanks Sage! I'll admit if it wasn't for you I probably would have never of done it, and some thanks goes to you too Scarlet for this awesome suit!" Sun said telling Sage and Scarlet that he probably couldn't have done it without them.

"So, I hope you can forgive me for trying to bring you down then." Neptune said still kinda surprised that Sun had pulled it off but was hoping that nothing too bad would happen between them. "As much as I really doubted you from the beginning, it was only because I didn't think you would be able to achieve something like this. But I guess you proved me wrong."

"Neptune, there is not a damn thing that can bring my mood down now!" Sun said still overly happy at what had happened. As Sage and Scarlet were still congratulating Sun on his successful date, Sun then got his scroll up to delete all the images that were on his photo gallery, Neptune saw this and gave Sun a thumbs up of approval. The whole team knew that this was the start of a good thing, even Sun was happy to see how this was gonna go. Although he can't escape hearing Blake and Yang no matter how hard he tries, Sun could now care way less about them now that Spitfire is in his life.
