A/N: So, this stuff was suppose to be in the next chapter, but with how big the word count got, I figured I'd make it into a mini chapter so the next main one can be more focused on the fun things I have planned.
So, here's what happened to Ruby, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha.
Ruby
Morning after the Dance
Ruby yawned and stretched her arms. She smacked her lips and slowly sat up. As soon as she was up, she gripped her head and looked around the area. She was on the floor of the ballroom, but no one was around. "Did I miss the party?" She asked herself in a pout.
She remembered someone saying someone… spiked the punch bowl? What did that mean? Did someone put tiny spikes in the punch? She didn't understand.
She went to stand up but then realized there was a weight on her legs. She looked down and saw the eyes full of love and affection staring back at her.
"Hey Zwei," she smiled and gave him a tummy rub. Zwei panted happily and kicked his leg. "Did you keep me warm and safe last night?"
"Arf!"
"Daww, I love you too," Ruby cooed as she spoiled Zwei with tummy rubs and head pats. He accepted them with glee and thanked her with licks to her face.
During the night, Zwei's nose detected the same smell Qrow had on him sometimes when he'd run into a wall or a door repeatedly. He immediately rushed to Ruby to make sure she was ok and didn't hurt her head by walking into walls. He'd also protect Yang, but…
Yang was Yang. She'd be fine. Plus, Ruby gave the best tummy rubs.
Nora and Ren
Night of the Dance
Nora made a hypothesis and current testing proved it true: Ren's chest was the best pillow. Ever. Of all time.
Currently, the two of them were back in their team dorm. Ren was lying on his bed without his shoes. Nora was laying on top of him. Her dress was hitched up, revealing underwear that barely covered her back bumpers, and her hips were angled in a way so that that was what Ren will see when he first wakes up.
Sure, the whole school would be mad if they found out she was the one who spiked the punch bowl, but what were the odds of that happening? Her plan worked and she was happy.
Nora liked Ren. She liked-liked him. But unfortunately, she had to admit she was like Pyrrha when it came to admitting her feelings: you want to but are afraid that if you do, you'll make it awkward and potentially damage a friendship. Nora knew Ren too long to compromise it now.
If she couldn't make the first move, she'll make him do it. So she organized this whole event of spiking the punch bowl to step up just that. Ren would wake up and see Nora asleep on top of him, as well as get a view of her butt that he wouldn't be able to forget. The view of her butt and the feeling of her sleeping on top of him, combined certain other small instances will make Ren unable to stop thinking of her. Nora estimated it would take a few weeks for Ren to cave in, and then she'll be making sloth noises for him when Jaune and Pyrrha are out.
It was a perfect plan that was working.
The door opened. Nora pretended to be asleep but looked over when she heard snuffles, the kind where you try holding back tears.
"Pyrrha?" she turned to her teammate and sat up. "What's wrong? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Pyrrha fell face first into her pillow and let out a muffled whine.
Nora got off Ren and went to Pyrrha's side. "No you're not. What's wrong?"
Pyrrha lifted her face. To Nora's surprise, despite watery eyes, there weren't any tears. "Its…. its Jaune."
"Is this still about the same thing? Because if it is, you still have a cha-..." she paused. She couldn't offer the same advice because she'd basically be telling Pyrrha to get between a marriage she didn't know about. Even if she didn't promise to keep it a secret, she still wouldn't tell anyone about Jaune and Glynda's marriage.
"No, it's not like that," though her speech was slurred and low, it was also slow so Nora could understand her clearly. "I never had a chance…. Jaune's gay."
"That's no need for a negative atti- wait I'm sorry what now?" Nora was now generally confused. "Did you just say Jaune is gay?"
Pyrrha nodded with a whine. "I saw him in Glynda's office on the bed while someone did him from behiiiiiiind," Pyrrha moaned, rocking her hips into her mattress for added effect. "And he was saying how big and good it was."
And with that, Nora had a dirty image painted in her mind. The fact that Glynda had someone else other than her whip didn't surprise her the more she thought about it. She just hoped that that info didn't get to anyone else, especially Cardin, whom she only made that stupid bet with to scam 200 lien off him.
"Ohhhhh it's hopeless," Pyrrha his her face in her pillow.
"No, it's not. Come on Pyr, a champion wouldn't give up that easily. You still have a shot."
"How?"
That was the question of the hour Nora pondered in thought, she didn't want to leave her without an answer. She figured she might as well just suggest something that would work, but also that she'd never ever do. "Have you… ever... thought of... sending him nudes?"
Pyrrha slowly turned her head back to Nora. "... wha?"
"Um..." welp, it was too late to back out now, "yep. Send him nudes. Once he sees them, he'll never be able to stop thinking about you."
"And… you sure it'll work?"
"Absolutely."
Pyrrha offered a soft smile. "You're the best Nora. I'll do just that."
"Do it in the morning," Nora said.
"Okayyyyy…." Pyrrha rested her head on the pillow and seemed to fall asleep.
Nora smiled. That went better than expected. Pyrrha wasn't sad anymore and come morning, she would be sober enough to realize that idea was a bad one, assuming she remembered it at all. Everything would work out. She climbed back on Ren and reenacted her plan before falling asleep.
Morning came and Nora slowly woke with a smile. Ren was extremely comfortable to sleep on. She heard someone shuffling looked over. Pyrrha was sitting up on her bed, scroll held up in one hand while the other covered her mouth while fear irradiated from her eyes.
Nora got up and walked to her. "...Pyrrha?"
"I messed up," the champion's voice was shaking. "Oh, gods I messed."
"Talk to me," Nora said with concern, "what's wrong?"
"I… I don't know if you remember, but last night I came to you because of something Jaune related… and I think you were drunk too because you told me to send him nudes."
"Oh…. you didn't do that, did you?" Nora asked with hope that she didn't.
Pyrrha weakly nodded. "A little bit after you fell asleep, I took some and sent them."
"Oh… well, we can get his scroll and stop him from seeing them," she quickly suggested.
"... I… they didn't go to Jaune," Pyrrha softly admitted.
"...what did you say?"
"I… guess I couldn't remember Jaune's number, so when I took them… I-" she dropped her scroll, "I just guessed it and… they were marked as 'seen' 5 minutes ago."
Nora's face paled as she fully realized the situation. "Oh my god, I'm sorry!" She quickly wrapped her in a hug. "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"
"It's not your fault," Pyrrha returned the hug, "I was the one who actually did it."
"But-
They both turned around when they heard Ren get up with a groan. "Hey… you girls ok?"
"Yep/Yes!" they both answered quickly with fake smiles.
"Are you sur-"
"Yep/Yes!"
Ren didn't seem to buy it but nodded in acceptance. "I reek of alcohol, I'm going to shower," he got up and entered the dorm bathroom.
"I'm going to go shower in the public bathrooms, we'll talk later Nora… and thank you," Pyrrha said as she gathered her things and left.
Once she was alone, Nora had two realizations.
One: Ren woke up normally, without her cutely sleeping on him or her giving him a fantastic view of her butt. The moment she had planned for was gone. All of it was in vain.
Two: Pyrrha's situation was because of her. If she didn't spike the punch bowl, Pyrrha wouldn't have seen Jaune and Glynda, drunkenly mistake it for something else, and then take and send nudes to someone upon her own suggestion. Pyrrha's livelihood was now in jeopardy, and it was all her fault.
"I'm a bad friend," she fell and moaned into the pillow.
Meanwhile, in the shower, Ren's cheeks were burning. There was another reason why he came in here. When he looked at Nora, the back of her dress was hitched up.
'How long had she been wearing thongs?' He asked himself. That image wasn't leaning his mind anytime soon. Most of his time in the shower was… relaxing a certain muscle instead of washing himself.
Mistral
Oscar Pine finished his chores on the farm for the was hard work, but rewarding and with a purpose. After he went back to his room to read, he noticed he got a message on his scroll, a large one. He opened it.
It took him 10 minutes to stop the nose bleed. Once he recovered, it would take another 20 to get the courage to look back at his scroll. He had to get to the bottom of why he got naked photos of the girl on his cereal box.
Despite once again seeing them, his eyes couldn't help but be glued to her face. She was beautiful.
His scroll then pinged. It was another message from the girl.
'I'M SORRY!'
A/N: And there we have it. Now I'm off to work on my other fics.
Thanks again for reading, have a great day : )
