It was the week of the dance, Blake would not eat, sleep, and she would not do as much activities as she normally would do. In RWBY's dorm room Blake was about to leave when Weiss stopped her. "Stop." Blake took her hand away from the doorknob and turned away from the door. " You haven't been acting like yourself lately, so Blake Belladonna was it wrong?" Said Weiss getting off the chair that was tipping. Blake sighed and sat on her bed. "Well it's just that we are not doing any thing about the White Fang. Atlas isn't doing anything about them... not even the UNSC is doing anything about them! If you ask me the UNSC are a bunch of idiots. No offense." "None taken said Gavin. "If you need me I'll be in the library." Said Blake leaving the room. "I can't believe this." Said Weiss. "None of this will matter if we can't get her to go." Said Ruby. There was an awkward silence for a while and there Get a appeared. "Oh thank god she is gone! I've been wanting to ask you guys a question." Said Ceta. "What is it Lemon lime ?" Asked Yang. "How long has she been calling me that?" "Mmm, a long time." Said Ruby. "I don't like it. Anyway, is it me or does it look like Blake has been taking drugs? Like hardcore?" Gavin smirked "Ceta I don't think it is just you." "Guys I'm gonna talk to Blake, try to convince her to come to the dance." Said Yang. Leaving the room. "What kind of question was that? Drugs, don't think that's a little mean?" Said Weiss. "Personally I think that was a pretty accurate description." Said Gavin. Ruby giggled a bit. Gavin's scroll went off, Gavin looked at the screen it was Jason the only other kid Spartan four. (You will learn more about him later).
"How's the team doing?" Asked Gavin. "The teams doing good. Kate and Destin want you back they said that you are a better team leader than me." Said Jason who was a blonde, 14 years old. (Gavin would give him private training sessions.) "Jason you're my second in command I know have it in you." "They want you back so bad!" "We do!" Said Kate and Destin in unison. "Guys I'm have another team now I have to split my time between you and them. I got to go one of our teammates is having problems right now." Gavin turned off his scroll. "Who was that?" Asked Ruby. "That was Jason my second in command on my other team." "Other team?" Said Weiss. "Spartan Team Midas we're kinda a big deal." "What is Midas?" Asked Ruby she had the sense of wonder in her silver eyes. "I'm pretty sure Midas is a story about a king that could turn anything he touched into gold." "Whoa, that is cool I would like to have that power." Said Ruby. "You don't clearly remember?" Said Weiss not believing that he didn't remember. "Okay, Weiss people can forget things." Said Gavin.
It was the day of the dance, there was a hour before it started and the girls of team RWBY where frantically getting ready. "Is Blake coming?" Asked Weiss. "Nope, last I heard Ceta said Blake looked like she had been taking drugs and that she didn't want to come." Said Yang. A half an hour later Yaang was off so when the guests started to arrive she could check people off the guest list. Next to leave was Weiss, then Ruby left 10 minutes after Weiss did. As Ruby was walking to the dance she saw Blake in a dress with Sun. "Blake decided to come! Looks like whatever Yang told her worked." Thought Ruby. After Blake and Sun where checked in Ruby walked up to Yang. Yang gasped "Ruby! You look so adorable!" Ruby almost lost her balance. "Ugh! Can I change into my hood now?" "No, silly! Besides Gavin is waiting for you." "Has he checked in yet?" "He has. He and I were early to check if everything was in order. Maybe you can get lucky and kiss him if this goes well! Have fun!" "Wait!" And like that Yang was gone going over to Mercury and Emerald who just walked in. Ruby walked around for a bit but she couldn't find Gavin anywhere. "Maybe I should just leave Gavin obviously doesn't want to be with me." Ruby thought. Ruby started to get angry and overheat. "It is hot in here, I need fresh air." Thought Ruby. Ruby went to the balcony "Ah! That's better!" She thought to herself. Ruby looked around to she if anyone else was on the balcony that she knew. And there he was, Gavin was by himself he spotted Ruby who was very nervous. "Red! There you are! I was starting to think you weren't go to come." "I was starting to think the same thing." "I'm sorry Red." "It's fine." Ruby walk towards Gavin but she tripped in the process. "Whoa! Ruby you gotta watch your self." Said Gavin who caught Ruby. "Thanks." "Don't mention it." "So now what?" "Well we could go dance." Said Gavin. "I don't know I'm not a good dancer." "Let me guess you can't walk in high heels and you can't dance." "Yep." Ruby felt embarrassed she wondered what Gavin would think. "That's fine all you have to do is copy everyone else." "Really?" "Yeah come on." Said Gavin pulling Ruby into the giant crowd of people who were dancing. Ruby looked at the other girls they were hold their partner's left hard and their other hand was on their partner's shoulder. Ruby had some trouble at first but after a while she got the hang of things. "There you go." Said Gavin who smiled and Ruby smiled back. Ruby spotted Blake and Yang dancing together Gavin saw them too and said "She decided to come in the end huh?" "Yeah, she did, she didn't tell anyone that she was though." Ruby looked Gavin in the eyes. "I have a question." Yeah red?" "Your Spartan armor what is it?" "It is a Fotus Chill Rose helmet and a Hellcat body with green and cyan as the the colors." "I knew the colors." "Of course you did. I have question for you Red. Why me?" "Why you?" "Yeah, You know, why do you want to date me?" "Well, for one you're hot, two your a spartan, three your the first ever to ever understand me you know?" "For the first answer I can see that, second yes I am, third I do understand you well Red. Want to go back on the balcony?" "Sure." When they were back on the balcony Ruby asked Gavin one more question "Gavin, what is it like to be a Spartan?" "That question is a tough, ummm, your basically forced into the program, you get to choose your armor set, you get to make and name your own team. You basically have to kill. "People call spartans killers." "I see more than that in you." "Huh?" "I see a Spartan who is made to kill but deep down he cares deeply for his friends and fellow colleagues." "Whoa Red I never heard you say anything like that before and I thank you." "You are very much welcome." Said Ruby. "You know most spartans do the same thing that you just said that I do." "Oh." There was about 45 minutes left until the dance was over. "Gavin I had a really great time." "Me too." Ruby seized this chance. Ruby pulled Gavin in and kissed him on the lips. Something in Gavin snapped not something bad but something good. Gavin pulled away from the kiss. "Wow, Ruby didn't know you had it in you." "Oh, shut up." Said Ruby. Kissing Gavin again but this time this kiss was longer and more passionate. After they finished Ruby and Gavin walked into the crowd before they saw a mysterious black figure attack some guards. "Did you see that?" Said Ruby. "Yeah." "I want to stop who ever that is." Said Ruby. "Go ahead." "Are you sure?" "Just go." Ruby left the dance and went into the building.
