The Vytal Festival

The Vytal festival was a yearly event held at either Vacuo or Vale in celebration of culture. There were dances, parades, and of course the festival tournament. Most people would be celebrating said festival with their friends and loved ones, enjoying the day by relaxing and taking part of the festivities. Ash Fall wasn't most people.

"URGH! AAAAGH!" He shouted, his voice resonating in seemingly endless space.

"Would you keep still?!" Haden yelled pinning Ash's arm underneath her chest and continuing to press green glowing needles into his arm. Ash tossed around trying to pry his arm away from his *doctor* writhing in pain from the procedure before biting down on the cloth she had given him. Haden wanted to cringe as she pulled at one of the lines and Ash shook in pain. She had told him that the procedure would hurt. Bad.

"I should've gotten restraints..." She thought as she watched her patient struggle to keep still, "I told you connecting each nerve back together would be painful." She said trying to quickly finish her work, they had been at it for a whole hour at this point and she was up to his shoulder.

"S-shut up! Finish and shut up!" Ash said slamming his fist into the ground cracking the ground slightly. Haden moved her bang out of her face and wiped a bead of sweat off her brow, she looked at Ash and grimaced slightly before grabbing hold of his other hand and giving it a firm squeeze. Ash wanted to ask why before he felt one last stabbing pain and his eyes shot open.

"URRRAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH" He yelled the cloth dropping from his mouth and passing out unconscious from pain. Haden gently laid him down on the floor and took a look at her handiwork, "Turned out good though..." She thought with a small nod, "The patterns are different but it's the same basic principle with each connection."

Ash groaned lightly before opening his eyes and looking at Haden with a tired expression, "That really, really, REALLY, hurt." He said taking large breaths. Haden started re-bandaging his arm and gave Ash a bright smile, "That's what you get for trying to be all tough!" She said poking his chest making him wheeze slightly.

"Shut up. You suck." Ash groaned as she finished bandaging the arm.

"Are you flirting with your doctor?" She said sweetly making Ash turn red and cover himself with his free hand, "STOP THAT!"

"As a doctor I have to know as much about my patient as possible." She said with an overly-sweet smile that made him sick to his stomach.

"STOP STARING AT MY PENIS!" Ash said turning away, his eye twitching. Haden settled into an amused smile before holding her hands out as if she was taking a picture, "Pretty nice butt too, do you do squats everyday?"

"HADEN!" Ash said trying to cover his body, he closed his eyes to avoid her scanning eyes. Haden giggled, "I don't know why you're so embarrassed, it's just a body you know and you happen to be growing very well for a such a young man." She said writing down on clipboard

"Glynda had me on a very strict diet and training schedule for several months..." Ash grumbled moving his hand from crotch in surrender, "You're a pervert..."

Haden made an appalled face and poked her finger into his chest, "I am a doctor!"

"Per-vert." Ash said simply, "What if I asked to see your naked body!" He argued only to immediately regret his words as Haden dropped a strap on her shoulder. Ash grabbed her looking away, "Okay okay you win!" He said covering his face with his other arm, she smiled brightly before pulling the strap back up. Ash peeked to see if she had pulled it back up and let out a breath of relief, "Stripping aside, are you doing anything for the festival tonight?"

Haden cocked her head to the side curiously, "Not really, I was going to stay in actually."

Ash frowned, "That's no fun! It's the Vytal festival! You gotta come out with me and my friends!"

It was her turn to frown, "Well I don't know..."

Ash shook his head and shoved her out, "Nope!" He said heading towards the exit, "NopeNopeNope!"

"Ash I really don-"

"NOPE!" Ash denied her any response as he shoved her out the door, "You're gonna have fun and you're gonna like it!"

"So that's how I met Haden, fixed my arm, and how we got here!" Ash said pumping his fist into the air in approval. The was a stark silence before Jaune raised his hand to ask a question which Ash dead-panned to, "You don't have to raise your hand Jaune..."

Jaune nodded before shifting uncomfortably, "So uh that's means she can see through our clothes?"

Ash blinked once and stared straight at Jaune, "Yes. Yes that is correct."

"Aaaaand underneath our underwear?" Jaune asked.

Ash gave sage-like nod, "Correct correct."

"So were basically naked to her..." Jaune said slowly turning red.

"Nude." Ash said with an overly-calm nod.

There was a pause as everyone deciphered what exactly had just been said. Ash seemed to be very comfortable with it. Too comfortable. The others not so much. Teams, RWBY, JNPR, and SSSN all slowly started moving their hands to cover themselves and Ash shook his head, "Bare."

The lone word sent shouts of embarrassment and outrage through the room as things were thrown, pillows, clothes, a bed, and a tree? Yup once again with the tree. Ash gave a sympathetic smile to Haden who was currently hiding behind him, he shook his head, "Nora really needs to stop throwing trees."

The chaos only ensued for about ten or so minutes before everyone inevitably came to terms with the rather intrusive ability, each one apologizing for such violent acts. Haden waved them all off, "Oh it's fine! It isn't the worse reaction I have seen." She said with a small giggle, "Honestly though you all have nothing to be embarrassed about, I wish I had some of the bodies in this room~" She said sending a wink to the group. A few awkwardly laughed as they still tried to slightly cover their bodies, Ash shook his head before clapping his hands to get everyone's attention.

"So what are we waiting for?! Lets GO!" Ash said jumping out of the window of RWBY's dorm. Blake looked at the window and then at Ruby, "Were REALLY high up."

Ruby heard a few crashes and yelling, "Eheheheh..." She laughed sheepishly.

Ash almost had to remind himself of exactly who he was a few months ago before coming to Beacon. He could seldom call the people he knew friends save for Trick or Blue and even then they were always more of siblings to him. Everyone he knew was a colleague, he didn't really have fun rather he caused trouble. Looking at everyone enjoy themselves at different stalls and mess around with one another made Ash chuckle.

"Where would I have been had I not decided to turn back for once?" He thought absentmindedly as a loud crack interrupted his thoughts. Bright colors filled his vision. Fantastic explosions of red, blue, yellow, green, and other colors all shot out from the sky. Ash saw everyone stop and look in awe at the light show in the sky. Ash quickly stopped looking at the fireworks and looked around to see his friends reactions. His old mentor always told him the most basic form of information gathering was looking to others reactions, no matter how small.

Ash smiled as he watched Pyrrah apprehensively take hold of Jaune's hand. He was slightly startled at the contact but quickly returned it and gripped her hand tightly. Ash shot his eyes to the left to see Sun grab Blake around the waist, a slight scolding that went unheard to the others made him loosen his grip although he still had a sheepish smile on his face. Although she ignored his rather brass affection Ash noticed a small hue of red on her cheeks as she settled into his arms to look at the fireworks. Nora had hugged Ren from behind leaning her head on his shoulder, Spark had sat upon Stella's shoulders and pointed to the crackling lights. Slightly to his far right he could see Haden talking with Scarlet, Sage, and Neptune, all three had large blushes adorning their faces, he could only assume she was teasing them about one thing or another. Yang and Weiss had both started pulling everyone together before they turned to him.

"ASH!" Weiss yelled.

Ash blinked out of trance as he felt his body being pushed forward by two small hands. Ruby grinned as Ash whipped his head around in confusion. Ruby moved him with the group and before he could ask what was happening she spun him around and threw her arms around him, a few quick flashes twisted his vision to a camera. None other than Trick stood with his ever present smirk, Blue hung over his shoulder with a cheesy grin.

Ash was about to yell at them until a the sound of music started blasting through the streets, bright lights flashed around sporadically.

"IT'S ACHIEVE MEN!" Yang shouted as the boy band proceeded to play on stage. Crowds of people rushed to the stage an Ash stood still still trying to process the events that had just taken place.

"Hurry up space cadet!" A voice called out in front of him, Ruby turned around on her heel waving her hands in the air. Ash's mouth slightly dropped down as he looked at her, behind her stood their entire group. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Pyrrah, Sun, Sage, Scarlet, Neptune, Coco, Fox, Velvet, Yatsuhashi, Spark, Stella, Haden, Trick, Blue, along with all the kids from Sanctuary all yelling and shouting for him to hurry up.

"Is this what you were talking about?" Ash thought to himself as he felt himself dragged forward once again by a smiling Ruby.

"Heh...ahaha...Okay! I'm coming!" Ash yelled running with his excitable girlfriend with a wide smile.

"Is this the happiness I was looking for?" He thought as he joined his friends to enjoy the concert.
