The Beacon dance hummed with excitement. Students trickled their way in, the main area was getting packed, drinks were being had, and the people were ready to get some music underway.
There to welcome them all before anything was Yang, who surprised everyone by going with a modest white dress this time around. "Hey Pyrrha, looking good in the dress! So, is Lady Killer not coming or what? I haven't seen him anywhere."
"Oh come on! If I have to put on a dress and these stupid lady-stilts, he needs to be here too! No fair." Ruby stood beside Yang to greet their friends and whined.
"I don't know what he's doing, honestly." And Pyrrha did not like it. If he didn't show up, she might have put in all this effort into her outfit for nothing. "I tried asking but he just kept saying he had something important to prepare for. I thought it was leader business until I saw you here, Ruby."
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The lights dimmed, and a spotlight shown, once again, on Velvet, holding a microphone and in a dress of her own. "Tonight for this dance, we're doing something special. We have a slow song for the lovebirds to dance to, performed by a student! Please give him a warm welcome!"
Nora's face stretched in a cheshire cat-like grin. "Guys. I think I might know what our leader was up to."
Weiss' eyes bugged. "No."
Naturally, Jaune came out on stage, already noodling a soft and sweet melody on his trusty guitar. Sun hopped up out of his seat. "Blake! We gotta dance to this! With the most enthusiasm of everybody! If it's him, we already know it's gonna be great."
Blake rolled her eyes, but grinned. "Sure."
"This song is… for the ladies." Jaune waggled his eyebrow as he spoke.
"NO."
"But fellas… listen closely."
"NO."
"~You don't always have to fuck her hard. In fact sometimes that's not right, to do...~"
"NOOO NOT AGAIN!"
"~Sometimes you got to maaake some looove, and fuckin' give 'er some smooches toooo~"
"You make this whole night worth it Jaune! WOO!" Ruby cheered from beside the dance floor.
"Stop letting him corrupt you." Yang covered Ruby's ears while she tried to listen better herself.
"Hey! Stop that!" Ruby struggled. Meanwhile Jaune fell to his knees and sang with passion.
"~Sometimes ya got to squeeze… sometimes you got to say please...~"
Nora rested her head on Ren's shoulder as they were already slow dancing on the floor. "This is so romantic," Nora said with a sweet sigh. Ren only chuckled and held her closer.
Pyrrha, much like Ruby, was also off to the side on her own, daydreaming along with Jaune's singing. "Hehehe…"
"Hey, do you know him? He's kinda cute," a faunus girl Pyrrha did not recognize asked her.
"Back off sister!"
"~Sooometimes, ya got to say 'hey'… I'm gonna fuck youuu, softlyyy. I'm gonna screw you gently, I'm gonna hump you, sweeetly~"
Meanwhile Professor Port was down in the audience, supervising students and dressed as he normally was. "My my Glynda, I can't believe you let him sing a song like that."
Glynda Goodwitch was, of course, right beside him and helped herself to some punch. "I wasn't in charge of entertainment. And what do you mean?"
"Have you been listening?"
"~I'm gonna ball you, dis-CREETLYYY~!"
Glynda spit out her drink.
"~And then ya say, hey I brought you flowers. And then ya say well wait a minute Saaally. I think I got somethin' in my teeth, could ya get it out for me? That's fuckin' TEAMWOOORK~!"
Blake danced with Sun nearby her friends Ren and Nora. "Well, not the song I might've picked. But to hell with it."
"I'll have to ask Jaune to teach me his ways," Sun said unironically.
Blake's eyes shot wide open at him. "That's not something I ever thought I would hear."
"~What's your favorite posish? That's cool with me, it's not my favorite, but I'll do it fooor you~."
Weiss was seething in the crowd. "Yang, how are you not upset!? He stole our dance and is turning it into a mockery! What am I even watching?"
"A master of romance at work. Now shh, I wanna hear better."
So did Ruby. "Let go of me already!"
"~What's you favorite dish? I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from ZANZIBAAAR~!"
Cinder held a well-practiced composure in the crowd. "Well this is unexpected."
"I know!" Emerald clapped her hands together and rested her head on them. "It's like he read my mind and put in poetry."
"What?"
"What?"
Jaune continued to sing all the louder and with more passion. Then coming down to a near whisper, and coming back up again.
"~And then I'm gonna looove you completelyyy~! Then I'll fuckin' fuck you discreetlyyy. And then I'll fuckin' bone you completelyyy~!"
"Ozpin! There you are!" Professor Goodwitch had been looking for the headmaster.
Ozpin nonchalantly sipped from his mug. "Ah, Glynda. Having a good time?"
"What were you thinking, letting Mr. Arc perform that!?"
"Well I know his voice and playing is not the most polished, but that's hardly reason enough to-"
"That's not the problem!"
Jaune's guitar playing built up, grabbing the attention of the crowd. He made sure the entire school could hear his finale.
"~BUT THEN… I'm gonna FUUUUCK YOOUUU HAAAAAAARD~!"
Coco Adel hung out by her beloved teammate Velvet, and had watched the whole show with rapt attention. She could not resist a flare for the dramatic. "Did you hear that note!? Such passion!"
Velvet, on the other hand, was mortified. "This is not what I thought it would be… actually, by now, I really should have known better."
"~HaaaaaAAAAAAARRRD~!"
Some of the crowds glasses broke at Jaune's voice alone. "Thank you! Enjoy your night!"
Neo, in a disguise with the rest of Cinder's crew and going by the name of Mint, finger-holed her hands over her head and made sure Jaune could see it. Cinder smacked her hands away. "Stop that. You too, Mercury!"
"Haaaahahaha!" Mercury started laughing at the beginning and never stopped, not paying attention to Cinder at all.
"That was sen-sational!" Penny said, having been dancing in a corner by some guards.
Meanwhile, Ruby finally broke free from Yang. "Oh God, Penny heard everything!"
"Is that a bad thing, friend?" Penny asked with big doe-eyes.
"… Nope! Not at all! Forget I said anything!"
To Pyrrha's annoyance, some other girls in the crowd cried out. "Call me!"
"That's my leader everybody! Wooo!" Nora shouted for the ballroom to hear.
"You scream that every time, Nora." Weiss was still in a huff over the ordeal.
"Because everyone needs to know!" Weiss had no idea where all her pride in her leader came from. In fairness, a lot of people didn't either.
Jaune waved to the crowd and was about to leave the stage, until he got smacked in the face by something. Thankfully it was rather soft, and he went to grab it instinctively to find that it was a red bra. He looked down to see a frazzled Pyrrha, and a beaten-up girl laying at her feet. "Our room! Now!"
