Author's note : I don't know why I keep writing these I know you're just going to skip this and get to the story also I'm writing these stories from my phone so expect auto correct. Also this sums up the 3 episodes about the ball dance. Asked well as getting some background story friend Church or Tucker and a funny perverted scene that would make most of you laugh. Oh and get ready to listen to Tucker's song Bow Chika Bow Wow. Sorry if this chapter is too short. Also thanks again for a fan for leaving me the idea of Theta x Penny because that would be a good idea when everyone sees his AI near the end of volume 3.

Alright then see you later

After Church was all healed he was focused on the fact that he saw a ghost or two. He was certain he saw the Meta behind Wyoming. He was pushing his limit on his body. He didn't eat sleep or rest for 3 weeks he was determined to get better than the two mercs he saw that day. At the same time Blake did exactly as he did no eating no sleeping and no breaks she was determined to stop the White Fang. His friends became more and more worried about his condition as they did with Blake he tired, his muscles ached everyday, and he had a look in his eyes that read " stayed back ". That was when Ruby and Yang made a deal one would go talk to the other and change them just in time for the dance. Ruby chose Church.

As soon as she found him in the dorm by himself, doing push ups, she saw this as an opportunity to take action. " Church we need to talk. "

" Fine I'm a little busy right now but I can work out and listen. " Church responded head faced to the floor.

" No you stop working now. Please."

" Fine " He got up sat down on the floor any looked up at her.

" Church you've been working non stop and had nightmares more and more. Why? "

" It's personal "

" Leonard we can help you, it's me please let me help. " she looked at him with the same puppy dog eyes from when they met. This was the first time she said his first name.

" Are you kidding me with those eyes. " Church began to explain his behavior. " When were you were fighting the robot I saw the two worst assholes that I thought were dead. They were already better than me so that's why I've been working non stop. They are ruthless soulless assassins who stop at nothing to get their man. I can't fail again. " He began tearing up until Ruby had one more question.

" One more question. Why? "

Church started to remember his dreams in detail. " Ruby my nightmares were about my old team and thinking about how they mightily be dead because I left them. But that's not the worst part of it. After I saw them die I had to watch you guys die. The school, team JNPR, Weiss, Blake, Yang, and then you. I'm scared no matter what I do I'll never be better than them. I already failed someone I loved. " At this point he was hyperventilating and crying his eyes out.

" What do you mean again? "

" Before I came here I helped my ex girlfriend to track down the Director. He was an asshole. Unfortunately the only thing in our way was that giant mute. Meta. I wasn't able to do anything to save her. I failed her. I don't want to fail you guys too. I love you too much. "

" You don't have to worry about that Church we'll always be he- " she stopped mid word as she realized what he said. " Wait. You. Love. Me?"

Church realized what he said and was about to apologize but only got a few words out. " Yeah it's just you guys were the only people nice enough t- " He was cut off by her hugging him by his neck again.

" Church. It's okay. I love you too. " Church felt something in him he just couldn't describe like his heart melted and filled him with warmth. He finally found a place he belonged.

* With Yang and Tucker in RWBYCT dorm *

" I don't know what to say Tucker " Yang said pacing back and forth between the rug.

" Just relax. You got this just relate it to something in your life like that. " Tucker said massaging her back.

" Thanks Tucker. For the advice and the massage. Hey I got an idea. "

* Fifteen minutes later Weiss was right outside the dorm room when...*

" Oh yes Tuck. Right there. Keep pushing harder. Yes that's it. " Yang said from inside the room with Weiss's ear against the door.

" I'm trying but ugh you're really tight right here. " Tucker said.

Weiss wanted no part of and just walked away.

* Inside the room *

" Yes yes yes yes yes yes Yeessssss. " Yang shouted. Tucker was right on top of her... massaging her back.

" You know what people might think right? " Tucker said knowing it was a good prank.

" Yeah I know, but it's still funny "

" Got that right "

" After this you can massage my ass." After what Yang said Tucker got so excited. He was speechless he only made a high pitched noise of excitement and nervousness.

* After Yang spoke with Blake*

Church and Tucker were in their dorm room when Tucker mentioned the dance. " Hey Church who you taking to the dance? " that's when Church was thinking about his options. He was set on asking Ruby. But he wasn't sure what Tucker would think.

" I might just go by myself. " Church responded. Tucker was disappointed in his wingman.

" What!? c'mon man. It's a planet filled with hot chicks how can you not find anyone to take. "

" Sorry not a priority. Who you taking? "

" Yang. Dude she is the hottest girl I've seen. "

" How did you ask her? "

" Wait. What? "

" Wait. You didn't ask her out yet. And you left her. By herself. In a school filled with hundreds of hunks? "

" Crap I got to go. " He left the room in his tux he was changing into only to peek in finishing with a " Screw you though ".

Now that left Church to himself and the A.I.s.

" Are you asking Ruby out? " Theta asking eager for an answer.

" Theta his heart rate rises everytime he's with her. He must be in love. " Delta giving too much information as usual.

" Thanks D and remind me to tell you the meaning of between us means. " Church said sarcastically.

Just then a knock at the door interrupted his conversation. He opened it to see Ruby staring up at him.

" Hey Church can I come in? " Ruby seemed to have something urgent. " It's really important. "

" YeYeah sure. " He let her in and shut the door behind him. His throat went dry when he asked "what did you want to talk about? ".

" So I've been working on a poem. Yang and Nora helped a little. Can I ask if it's good? "

"Yeah sure no problem. "

She cleared her throat. " Roses are red. Violets are blue. I want to go out with you. "

Church didn't realize it wasn't over " That's sweet and of course I... "

" Blood is red. Bruises are blue. Don't say no. That last part was from Nora. "

In a way he saw it coming. He said yes anyway.

* Five minutes into the dance *

Church Tucker and team RWBY notice Professors Port and Oobleck arguing about something.

" Mr Port everything okay. " Church asked Port because Oobleck reminded him of Caboose.

" Unfortunately the Dj won't be here for another 10 minutes. We need a group to perform or everyone will leave. " Port said as his mustache moves with every word.

Church had any idea about what to do. " Tucker remember that thing you always say. "

" Bow Chika Bow Wow. Why? " it took Tucker a second to realize what he meant. " Dude are you sure about this I mean. The song is good but do you think everyone else will like it? "

" Tucker what choice do we have? "

* 3 minutes later *

Church and Tucker were on stage microphones in their hands. A bolt of fear went through them as they readied themselves. ( Play bow chika bow wow song here ).

Tucker heard the music started and put on his crowd pleasing face which was no different from his flirting face. He started his part from the beginning to sarge's solo they replaced with a guitar solo Church sang the last part originally for Lamar Hall. Due to his voice manipulation ability he nailed it. As soon as they finished they'd were panting slightly for air. The crowd was silent for an uncomfortable second then everyone cheered for them. It's official there staying.

Church looked around the room wondering where Ruby was. He saw here's leave and decided to follow then he saw her locker falling from sky. Somethings up. He called his own. He came only 30 seconds late to the fight any saw Ruby against a masked woman.

" Ahem, mind if I have this dance? " Church smugly said with pride.

" Church. Thanks for coming. " Ruby said happy to see help.

" Eh dance was getting boring anyways. So are you coming quite like or are we taking you in a body bag." Just then the elevator opened behind them to show Ironwood. Church thought he was dead seeing that asshole. When he turned around to see no intruder he knew this is going to be a long night.
