Chapter 20; SLNT Dance

It is now the next night and everyone is ready for the dance. It was taking place in the cafeteria of Beacon Academy and Diana decorated the whole thing. And from everyone looking in amazement, she did not disappoint. Diana and Yang was in front of the doors of the cafeteria introducing some of the people coming in.

Diana was wearing a short, dark pink dress and dark pink high heels and Yang was wearing a white dress and white high heels. Then as the door opened, they both saw Team SLNT, except for Natsu, enter the room.

Sora was wearing a dark blue tuxedo, a white dress shirt, and black dress shoes. Lyra was wearing a mint green and white dress, white high heels, and her hair was in a ponytail. Tsubasa was wearing a crimson tuxedo with a purple dress shirt, a black tie and black dress shoes.

Sora noticed both Yang and Diana wearing their dresses and blushed at how beautiful they were.

Yang then looked around and asked, "Where's Natsu?"

Lyra then looked away and said, "He's hanging out with his mom who came to visit him."

Tsubasa then added, "Not to mention that he doesn't even like dancing."

Diana then walked over to Sora and hugged his arm. She then said, "Well, we can still have fun. Right, Sora?"

Sora looked over to Yang for approval and she gave him a little wink. Sora then nodded and both he and Diana went to the dance floor.

The door then opened and Yang, Lyra, and Tsubasa saw something that surprised them. Ruby wasn't wearing hood and was wearing a red dress with black details, a black sash around her waist, black stockings and black high heels.

Yang then jumped with joy and said, "Oh, you look beautiful!"

Ruby, while having a hard time walking in her heels, asked, "How the hell does Weiss fight in these?"

She was about to fall but Lyra managed to catch her. The mint Faunus chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it took me a long time to get used to heels too." She then helped Ruby walk toward Yang and Tsubasa, who were laughing their asses off.

Outside of the building Blake was walking up to the cafeteria. She was now well rested and was wearing a black dress and black high heels. She felt worried because she never had been to a dance before.

"Hello, Blake." Said a voice behind Blake and she turned around saw Ryuto wearing a dark green tuxedo with the sleeves torn off, a red dress shirt, a black tie, and black shoes. He then said, "You look lovely."

Blake blushed a little and said, "Thank you, Ryuto. I'm sorry about your friend yesterday."

"Don't worry about it." Ryuto said. "She has always been prideful and she doesn't think."

Blake then thought about her partner and said, "I know that feeling."

Ryuto then asked, "So, do you have a date for the dance?" Blake then avoided eye contact and held her arm, which told him that she didn't. He then held out his hand and said, "Well, how about I be your date?"

Blake blushed, took his hand, and said, "I would love too." The two were heading into the dance hall, Ryuto having a little smirk on his face. What was he planning?

About thirty minutes later, everyone was having a good time at the dance. Neku and Octavia were combining their two different music types to make something that everyone can dance to. Sora and Diana were having fun dancing, Gingka, who wore a black tuxedo and a blue tie, was dancing with Taylor Ironwood, who wore a lavender dress, Yang, Tsubasa, and Pyrrha, who wore a long red dress, were talking having a great time, and Blake and Ryuto were dancing very slowly alongside Zeo, who wore a black tuxedo and purple dress shirt, and Sarah, wearing a light green dress.

The only people that were not having fun was Weiss, who wore a white and black dress, because she her date stood her up, Lyra because Natsu wasn't there, and Ruby was hiding behind the punch bowl.

Roxas, who wore a red dress shirt, a white tuxedo and a black tie, noticed that Ruby was sitting by herself. He walked over to the punch bowl, sat next to her and said, "Not you seen too, huh?"

Ruby just said, "Yeah."

"Here's to the socially awkward, am I right?" Roxas joked as Ruby chuckled a little and their glasses made contact. He then said, "I'm glad everything worked out with Blake."

"Thanks," Said Rudy as she took a sip from her punch. "So, where's your leader?"

"I have no idea." Roxas admitted, "Tucker said he had to do something. Like Blake, Pyrrha wasn't going to the dance because she couldn't find a date, so he bet her if she doesn't have a date, he would wear a dress."

Ruby then asked, "What about you? Do you have a date?"

Roxas then blushed and said, "No. I didn't have the courage to ask her." And by 'her', he meant Ruby. He wanted to ask her to the dance the moment the dance was announced, but he wasn't brave enough. He then asked, "Speaking of dates, where's Weiss date?"

"She came alone." Said Ruby as she looked at Weiss straightening out the flower arrangements. "Apparently, her date stood her up."

"Wow, that's sucks." Said Roxas. He then noticed that Ruby was still getting to uncomfortable with the dance, so he decided to do something he had never done before. He then ask, "You know, it's getting to noisy in here, huh?"

"Yeah, it is." Said Ruby who saw Roxas get up held his hand out to her.

He then smiled and said, "Then let's get here." Ruby smiled and took Roxas' hand and the two left the dance hall to find somewhere to talk, but not before seeing something that made both of them laugh.

Lavernius Tucker, the coolest guy in Beacon and a ladies man, was wearing a white dress. Everyone was laughing at him. Tucker then said, "Yo, Pyrrha."

Pyrrha looked over, saw her leader in a dress, and said, trying to hold back laughter, "Tucker? Did you actually put that on?"

Tucker then said, "Sarah told me you didn't have a date, so I'm just keeping my end of the bargain. So, are you going to just stare at me or are we going to dance?"

Pyrrha let out a little giggle at Tucker's bravery, held her hand out which he took and said, "I would love to dance with you."

Lyra looked over and saw Pyrrha and Tucker start dancing, which made her not only happy for Pyrrha, but also a little jealous.

Tsubasa noticed his friend being upset and asked, "Are you okay, my friend?"

Lyra then said, "Yeah, I'm fine. I mean everyone has a date, so I'm happy that everyone is enjoying themselves."

"But you're not." Tsubasa said "You're upset that Natsu didn't show up."

"He said he was going to spend time with her mother and that's fine with me." Lyra said, "Besides, he would've never come to the dance anyway."

"Don't count on it." Said a male voice which made Lyra look behind her and she saw something that she never thought she would see. It was Natsu wearing a black tuxedo and a wine red dress shirt.

"Natsu?" Lyra asked in complete shock. "I thought you weren't coming."

Natsu smiled and said, "My mom convinced me to go and she pick out my outfit."

Lyra then noticed something that was off about him. She then asked, "Natsu, where's your scarf?"

"I left it with my mom." Natsu said. "Why? Does it weird you out?"

Lyra then said, "A little. I've never seen you take that thing off."

Natsu smiled and said, "Well, I decided to leave it off for tonight. So, let's dance." Lyra then smile and nodded as the two head to dance floor to dance.

Tsubasa smiled at the fact that Lyra got what she want. But then he got upset when Weiss was sitting by herself. So he walked over to her and asked, "Weiss, where's your date?"
Weiss then pouted and said, "He stood me up."

"Why?" Tsubasa asked as he sat down next to the heiress. "You're Weiss Schnee, You have gotten a least ten date requests."

"Well I don't." Weiss said, getting even more upset.

Tsubasa then got up and held his hand out, confusing the heiress. He then asked, "Well, do you want to dance with me?"

Weiss then blushed and said, "Really?" Tsubasa nodded at her, making her get up and take his hand. "Very well." But in her mind, she was screaming with joy.

After they finished dancing, Sora and Diana decided to go out to the balcony to relax. Sora then said, "Diana, the party is great. You really out did yourself."

Diana smiled and said, "I try. And, I gotta say, you're a pretty good dancer."

Sora then nodded and said, "Thank you, you're not too bad yourself."

Sora and Diana continued talking and laughing for a couple minutes. Diana then said, "Thank you, Sora."

Sora then asked, "For what?"

"For asking me to the dance." Diana said as she pushed her hair behind her ear. "I mean, when Coco told me about the deal you made with her. I was scared, because you've been hanging out with Coco and Yang a lot, and you forgot all about me."

Sora was shock that Diana was think that he didn't care. He then defended, "But, I do care. I always have. Plus, it hasn't been easy for me for the past couple days."

Diana then said, "I want proof." Sora looked at her in confusion. She then explained, "I want you to prove to me that you care about me."

Sora thought about it, but there was only one thing he can do. He then asked, "Do you really want proof?"

Diana then said, "Yes, I do want…" Sora then pulled her close to him and kissed her. Her face was now blushing, the kiss was sudden, but wasn't unwelcome. She wrapped her arms around Sora's neck while his hands were on her hips. The two have been kissing for two minutes.

Sora then removed his lips from Diana's and asked, "Is that prove enough for you?" Diana nodded yes to Sora's question. He then smiled and said, "Good, I'm glad."

Diana could not stop blushing and smiling. She then said, "Thank you, Sora." Sora nodded and left the balcony, leaving her on the balcony still blushing."

"He kissed you too, huh?" Yang asked as she walk on the balcony.

"Yeah, it was amazing." Diana said, "Do you really think him kissing us will help make his decision easier?"

Yang then smiled and said, "He has been stressed out about that deal for weeks. He really doesn't want to hurt us, so that's why we're helping him."

Diana then nodded as the two girls look at the stars outside the dance. She then smirked and said, "I think my kiss with him was more romantic."

Yang then smirk and said, "I kissed him in the pool, I think my kiss was more romantic."

"No, me." Diana said.

"No, me." Yang said.

"No, me!"

"NO, ME!"

And of course, the two got into a cartoon like fight for the third time.

With Ruby and Roxas

The two were now walking through the court yard, talking, laughing, and having a really good time with each other.

Ruby then said, "Thank you, Roxas. This is so much better than being in a crowded place."

Roxas then smiled and said, "You're welcome. Oh, I forgot to mention this at the dance, but you look really nice."

Ruby then blushed and said, "Thank you. Although I don't like these stupid lady stilts."

Roxas then chuckled and said, "Trust me, I'm not a big tuxedo guy, my sister made me go so I can be social with people."

Ruby then said, "Yeah, that's what my sister told me too."

Roxas then said, "I mean seriously why is being social…"

Then they both said in unison, "More important than fighting monsters."

Ruby then yelled, "Oh my god, thank you!"

"But you know something?" Roxas asked, "Even though we don't like being social, you and I have been talking to each other the whole time."

Ruby then thought that Roxas was right, she has been very social with him more than anyone else when he got to Beacon. She was also thinking how much fun she's been having with him and how sweet he is.

Roxas then asked, "Are you okay, Ruby?"

Ruby then blushed and thought to herself, 'Come on, Ruby. You can do this.' She then exhaled and said, "Roxas…I like you."

Roxas blushed and asked, "Like as a friend or like…that?"

"I like you in that way." Ruby said, making Roxas blush even harder. "I mean, ever since we met, you have been so sweet to me and we would have so much fun together. Not to mention that we have a lot in common."

Roxas was stunned that Ruby was telling him this, because he thought he was the only one think what she was saying. He then asked, "Do you really like me?"

Ruby then blushed even harder and said, "More than anything."

Roxas then smiled and said, "Okay, then I gotta ask you." Ruby then nodded, knowing that Roxas might not have the same feelings she does. He then asked, "Ruby Rose…Will you be my girlfriend?"

Ruby, her face now a crimson color, asked, "WHAT?!"

Roxas then explained, "You're not the only one who had feelings. I really like you too. When I'm with you, I feel happy. More happy then I have ever felt."

"Roxas." Ruby said. She then said, "I…I…"

"Ruby?" Roxas asked

"I would love to be your girlfriend."

The two were now smiling and hugged each other. The two were so happy that they revealed that they liked each other. Then they looked into each other's eyes and kissed. Now Ruby Rose and Roxas Schnee were now boyfriend and girlfriend.

With Sora

After his kiss with Diana, Sora went outside to get some fresh air, away from the party. He kept think about how the kiss with Diana some kind of similar to his kiss with Yang. His heart was pounding out of his chest and thought to himself, 'This is not getting easier.' Sora then noticed something, a girl in a black and was walking towards the CCT tower, which was off limits to students. So, he decided to follow her.

"How long do I have?" the girl said into an ear piece. "Understood."

Sora then asked, "Hey, who are you?" Instead of answering the girl ran, making Sora chase after her. "Hey, I'm talking to you!"

He chased her into the CCT Tower and the girl finally stop put a flash drive into one of the computers, turn around and created a two swords with metal pieces. Sora responded by summoning his Rainfell keyblade and charge at the girl. The two were now in a sword fight. The girl then jumped back, turned her swords into a bow and arrow and shot at Sora, which he dodged. Sora then fired an energy blast from his blade, making the girl dodge.

"What's going on?" Ironwood asked as he got out of the CCT tower elevator. The girl then decided to leave by shooting the ground causing steam to come out of nowhere. When Sora and General Ironwood cleared the steam, the girl was gone and so was the flash drive from the computer.

Ironwood then looked at Sora, which made Sora rub the back of his head and say, "Yeah, I got a lot of explaining to do."

Chapter 20 is now complete and Sora still needs to make a decision on who he want his girlfriend to be.

But, the pairing that has now been confirmed for this fanfiction is Ruby X Roxas, or Rosebody

Thank you to pokemonsuperallstarfan for coming up with the name. I chose that name because, Ruby's last name is Rose and Roxas is Sora's Nobody in Kingdom Hearts II. Plus I found it to be cute.
