Alright folks, time for the next chapter of Verdant Gamer, and now we have a Dance, the question is, who will Wes ask out...
Also, I just want to say this right now, Blake is in some serious trouble in Canon. I don't think Adam would leave her alone because she's with the former leader of the White Fang.
And to add to that, Wes is kinda screwed when he heads to Menagerie.

[Wes's P.O.V.]
"You want me to what?" Blake demanded.
After the match we had returned to our room fairly quickly, and as a result, Ruby asked Blake to go to the dance sooner.
"We want you to go to the dance." Ruby said.
"I was going to ask you out myself actually." I said, "Sorry Yang."
"That's ridiculous." Blake said, "I'm not going to the dance."
"Blake we're worried about you, this investigation is starting to mess with your head." Yang said.
"You can't sleep, you hardly eat, and to be honest your grades have been suffering." Weiss said.
"Blake, the only reason I can stay up all night without repercussion is because of The Gamer ability." I said, "It's not healthy for you to be doing the same."
"You think I care about grades, people's lives are at stake." Blake argued.
"We know and we're all still trying to figure out what Torchwick is up to." Yang said.
"Hell even Vie is working over time to help us." I added.
"Thanks to you, Tamamo and, Sun we know they're operating somewhere on the southeast side of Vale." Ruby said.
"And according to my maps, the most likely hideout would be Mountain Glenn." I added.
"And the Schnee company records singled out Vale as the primary target for Dust robberies over the last few months." Weiss added.
"Don't forget about their missing military tech too." Yang said.
"One Paladin stolen by Vie actually and remade into Umbra." I put in.
"But there are still unanswered questions." Blake argued.
"You're not the only one working on this issue Blake, don't act like you are." I said pulling Blake close.
"Besides you won't be able to find anything if you can't even keep your eyes open." Ruby said.
"All we're asking is that you take it easy for one day." Yang said.
"It'll be fun. Yang and I will make sure of it." Weiss said.
"Yeah we're planning the whole event." Yang said.
"Excuse me?" Blake said.
"Team CFVY has been away longer than expected." Weiss said.
"So Weiss and I are going to pick up where they left off, and now we can make sure you have the perfect night." Yang said.
"And once it's all over we'll return to our search, rested and ready." Weiss said.
"So what do you think?" Ruby asked.
"I think this is a colossal waste of time." Blake said getting up, "I'll be in the library." Blake added as she shut the door.
"So much for Plan A." I said.
We all perked our heads up as we heard a couple of thumps, followed by the sound of breaking wood from the other side of the door.
"My guitar!" We heard Jaune cry out.
"Sorry Jaune." Pyrrha of all people said.
[Tamamo.] I messaged.
[Just trying to make Arkos happen before it's too late.] Tamamo replied.

The next day while Team RWBY (Minus Blake) was helping to set up the dance, I was out getting a tux for the dance.
"I always hated these penguin suits." I grumbled finally finding one in my size that had a green tint.
I returned to Beacon fairly soon after that and smiled when I saw Yang and Blake stepping out of an empty classroom, "So Blake." I said looking at the now much more relaxed Blake, "Would you care to come with me to the dance?"
Blake smiled, "Gladly." Blake said pulling me into a hug.
"Yang get in this hug." I said holding an arm out.
[Tamamo, you're gonna follow Ruby to combat Cinder right?] I messaged as Blake literally fell asleep in my arms.
[Yeah, I know.] Tamamo replied [You just keep your girlfriends happy at the dance.]
[Tamamo's P.O.V.]
I stood by the punchbowl for the entirety of the dance sipping punch.
I saw Ruby and Jaune hide over here with me, I saw Jaune come to the dance in a dress, I even saw Wes and Blake do the Tango, very nice.
Soon enough I noticed Ruby step out of the dance floor.
'Time to shine.' I said hiding myself in an illusion and stepped out of the ballroom.
As I followed Ruby I switched from my dress to a pure black kimono, and slipped on the Illusion Mask, as well as pulling out my Naginata.
I soon caught up with Ruby who had called in her locker and grabbed Crescent Rose from it, "Hey Rubes." I said stepping up to her.
"Tamamo? What are you doing here?" Ruby asked.
"Wes asked me to look out for suspicious activity." I said pulling out a pair of Ruby's boots from behind me, "I think seeing a figure jump across the rooftops counts as suspicious."
"Thanks." Ruby said putting her heels in the locker and putting the boots on.

We stepped out of the elevator once we reached the top floor.
"Hello?" Ruby called out, "Anyone there?"
I put up an illusion and plugged my scroll in and started the counter virus to the CCT, "I smell you~" I cooed out, "Come out, come out, come out~"
Cinder finally stepped out from her hiding spot with an irritated scowl.
"Oh my, looks like I did dress for the occasion." I taunted with a smirk.
Cinder quickly pulled out a tube of sand, super heating it into her glass bow and firing arrows at us.
Ruby and I spun our pole arms around to block the arrows and Ruby quickly returned fire, while I returned fire.
Cinder was clearly caught off guard the I was flinging Fireballs at her and quickly ran in to attack me, only to fall for an illusion and for me to strike her in the back, and well as reach into her back pocket and pull out her scroll.
I quickly checked it and much to my disappointment, this was just a dummy scroll with the only purpose of planting the virus. SHe must have another Scroll that receives the data.
"Thanks for the scroll thiefy~" I teased causing Cinder to glare at me and in turn take a bullet from Ruby.
Unfortunately Ironwood showed up right then and there, distracting Ruby, and letting Cinder shove past me and out the Window.
"Dammit." I said throwing off my mask, "Ah well, we aren't empty handed at least." I said with a smirk, holding up Cinder's dummy scroll while taking mine back under an illusion.

Alright, there's your chapter today people.
Sorry if this was short and relatively unsatisfying, but I just haven't been feeling like writing this and as a result I'm actually writing this chapter last minute to keep up with my once a week schedule.
My main issue is not because of the fact I have so many other stories to work on, no.
It's because right now I'm playing Rune Factory 4, trying to start the third arc which requires me to trigger a RANDOM EVENT and as you can probably guess, it's not triggering. Seriously it's pissing me off right now and it's making it really hard for me to focus on writing sometimes.
