Thank you all for your support! Encouragement really goes a long a way for me and it means a lot :). It's great to hear you're enjoying the story. I'll try to work hard in return by making better, longer chapters like this one. This one is probably longer than in needs to be for what it accomplishes, but I like to take my time. Enjoy a longer chapter. :)

Yang:

All the answers Yang needed would be solved if she could pull off this conversation. Calling Sun and instructing him to ask out Blake seemed really random, but she knew she could convince him to. The entire male brain revolves around women: especially when foolish a guy like Sun and a beautiful woman like Blake are involved.

"You like Blake, right?" Yang had said over the phone.

"Well, yeah. She's pretty cool and stuff," Sun replied, still expressing doubt.

"Then come on! I'm really getting worried about her. She hasn't been doing anything fun lately and I think you're the perfect candidate to cheer her up!"

"Why do you think me?" Sun asked, "I've received the impression quite often that I'm just an annoyance."

"You think so? Because whenever she does talk about you, it's in very positive light. In fact I'd dare theorize she's so depressed because she hasn't seen you in a while."

"Wha – really?" Sun said, now far more excited," I guess I'll give it a shot then. I haven't talked to her in a few weeks anyways, so I guess it'd be cool to catch up." His rush of excitement then quickly wavered. "I'm not taking her to anywhere fancy though. It was bad enough dressing up for the dance that one time and I don't think I can manage that again for this year…or decade."

Her plan was going perfectly. Now it was time for what she really needed.

"So get out there, champ!" Yang encouraged, "Make sure Blake's into guys and then sweep her off to happiness!"

Sun stayed silent to that, not quite knowing where it came from. Yang could almost hear the momentum of the conversation grinding to a halt. 'Fuck, no, we're so close!' Yang thought.

"Why would I need to ensure that? Why'd she not…" Sun mumbled.

"Hey!" Yang snapped, "It's the twenty-first century, you'd do well to keep in mind the possibility of people living outside of social norms is high. You owe respect and acknowledgement to all orientations! Besides, girls love guys who are sensitive to the pain of others." Yang commended herself on her ability to spout believable shit at a moment's notice. 'Take the bait you stupid monkey…' Yang thought.

Yang waited as the slow gears of Sun's mind processed the idea. He finally replied, "Yeah, I guess it couldn't hurt to bring up the topic…I still don't…"

"Quick!" Yang yelled, frantic to keep this plan alive, "You better go ahead and call her up; if you wait too long she'll just go home, start reading, and be depressed! Only you can prevent that, Sun. Be the sun in her life that she needs to light up her darkness!"

Once Yang had calmed down, she glanced down at her scroll. The call had ended. Sun had either been scared off or he was super hyped and racing to ask out Blake right then and there. Yang really hoped for the latter; she needed an agent to find out where Blake laid on the spectrum. If this failed, her back up plans consisted of finding another idiot to ask out Blake or to ask Blake's orientation herself. Without knowing what would happen, Yang picked up her stuff and raced back to the dorms.

Several minutes later, Yang walked into her team's room. She immediately scanned the room to figure out what was happening. She saw Ruby was polishing Crescent Rose and attempting to talk to Weiss, and Weiss was trying to block out Ruby and focus on studying. Yang turned to other side of the room where she saw Blake who was on her bed reading.

'Uh oh,' Yang thought, 'she's still here and she isn't getting ready to go anywhere it seems. I swear, if Sun chickened out on me…' Right as Yang considered horrible ways to take revenge on the cowardly faunus, Blake's scroll rang – playing its default noise. Blake sighed as she was forced to close the pages of her book and set it aside. She opened her scroll and reluctantly said, "Hello?"

'There is hope yet,' Yang squealed to herself. She suddenly realized she was just standing in the doorway watching Blake, so she quickly shut the door behind her, threw her belongings onto the floor, and plopped down next to Ruby and Weiss. Yang desperately wanted to listen to Blake's conversation, but she knew she also had to avoid suspicion.

"So," Yang started, "how did your day go, Weiss?"

"Oh god, not you too," Weiss sighed, "You two may have forgotten, but we have a test in Oobleck's class tomorrow. I'd like to study up so I can actually remember what events like the Grimm Massacre were all about."

"The Grimm Massacre? Wasn't that when some Grimm attacked and the hunters and huntresses dramatically stopped them?" Ruby said, feeling proud she'd remembered that fact from class.

Weiss groaned, "Good luck writing an essay off of that! That sounds like just about every other event in our history!"

"You could ramble for a while about how cool the hunters are and then state tons a vague facts that are technically true," Yang suggested, while still glancing back to see if Blake was still in her call.

Ruby grinned, "Yeah, I could spend a whole paragraph just discussing how this event is really important purely because we're talking about it now! It's a flawless plan!" Ruby leaned back, clearly satisfied with her plan.

Weiss scoffed at the strategy, "God forbid you use any references to when the Massacre happened or who was involved. But, if you think that'll work, that's your problem." Weiss turned back to her textbook on the table, clearly indicating she was done with the pointless conversation.

Ruby stood, deciding to let Weiss take the victory on this one, and leapt onto her bed. Yang looked back at Blake, feeling proud of herself for not eavesdropping on her. Blake was now off of her scroll. 'Wait,' Yang thought as she noticed Blake was going back to her book. 'She's not getting ready or anything? Was that call not Sun? Or maybe it was Sun and she turned him down? Fuck, make this easier for me, Blake! I need to get my mind back!'

Yang considered her remaining options. 'I could get someone else to ask out Blake, maybe Neptune? Wait, no. I'm still not certain if that was Sun or not, or if she declined him or not, or if Sun is ever going to call or not. Gah, how the hell do I find out then?'

Right before Yang's mind could black out and speed away to race for a complicated solution, she slammed the brakes.

'Wait, I'm still her normal teammate! I can just make conversation and ask who was calling!...I just have to make sure not to pry too hard or imply I had anything to do with Sun calling.' Yang took a deep breath and walked over to Blake.

"Hey Blake, how was your day?" Yang smiled, hoping desperately Blake would smile back and open up for once. Blake sighed, clearly disappointed she had to put her book down again. Yang felt bad about interrupting her, but at the moment, Yang was more concerned with restoring balance to her mind.

"It was fine," Blake said half-heartedly. She clearly didn't want to talk right now, but Yang couldn't afford delays. She didn't believe her heart was going to accept being ignored much longer. Yang decided there was also no postponing the question with idle talk.

"So, who was calling you on your scroll? You almost never get any calls," Yang asked. Ruby and even Weiss turned around to face Blake as they were wondering the same as Yang. 'Ah ha!' Yang thought, excitedly, "They're curious too! I've finally got some allies!"

Blake lowered her eyebrows, clearly not accepting of the question. "No one," Blake answered, "It was just an advertisement. I really wish the blocker on my scroll would update." Yang blinked in disbelief. 'Shit! It wasn't Sun! 'Yang thought angrily in her head. 'Am I going to have to go punch that boy's brains out? Can't he grow a pair and just-'

"What the heck are you talking about?" Weiss said. They all turned back to her; Weiss was the last person Yang had expected to object to Blake's statement.

Yang looked back and could tell Blake's breaths had become much faster. Her chest was expanding and contracting far more rapidly. Yang could tell as paid close attention to the region.

"I don't know," Blake replied, "What are you talking about?"

Weiss stood up and shook her head. "Scrolls automatically update everything the moment you're in Wi-Fi range whether you want it to or not," Weiss argued, "And even if it was outdated, messages don't set off your ringtone if they're not on your contact list."

And there was Weiss, gracefully saving Yang's day. Her ringtone had gone off earlier meaning whoever called, Blake knew. Blake was lying…which likely meant…

"Who called you then, Blake?" Ruby giggled, "And don't lie this time! We've got ourselves a lawyer!" Weiss's smile became even fuller of herself with that. Yang didn't care though, they had Blake cornered for investigation now.

Blake, clearly displeased, reluctantly responded, "It was Sun."

'Looks like I gave up hope in that faunus too early.' Yang thought in her mind

As due process went, Weiss then asked, "What was he calling about?"

Blake simply replied, "Nothing." Weiss's expression clearly showed that wasn't a pleasing answer.

Ruby jumped off her bed and walked over to Blake. "Oh, come on, Blake!" Ruby argued," We barely talk these days; we're just curious about what's going on in your life!"

"Yeah," Yang added, "It's got to be more interesting than Weiss's life."

Weiss ignored the tease and repeated herself, "So Blake, what was Sun calling about?"

Blake, still without displaying emotion, finally answered, "He wanted to ask me out to dinner this evening. He thought it would be cool to and hang out since we haven't in a while, or ever actually." Blake sighed as she knew what was coming next.

"Oh, are you going to then? Are you going to dress up for him?" Ruby asked, excitedly.

"No," Blake quickly replied, "I would much prefer to stay here and read my book."

'Wait, what?' Yang panicked in her head, 'No, you can't…you have to go…I…the answers….fuck!' Before Yang's hysteria could properly set in, Weiss continued her interrogation.

"Is that what you told him?" Weiss asked, "I would've hoped our teammate was more polite than that."

Blake's head arced towards the floor, "No," she replied again, "I told him I'd think about it."

'Ah, there's hope!' Yang realized,' I just have to convince her to go, and from the looks of it, Ruby and Weiss will back me up!'

"Why don't you go with him? It sounds like fun, and Sun's a nice guy," Yang suggested.

"Not to mention," Ruby added," I don't see anyone else throwing themselves at you."

'Oh good! I'm doing a good job hiding myself then,' Yang thought, pleased with herself.

Blake, clearly not approving the idea presented, said, "Guys, I just really don't feel like going out with him. I don't think he's my type."

"Blake," Weiss said, scoffing again, "I don't think you actually have a type considering you haven't gone out with anyone our entire time here at Beacon. Just go out with Sun this one time; you've got nothing to lose. Give it a shot"

'I'm not even contributing much to the argument,' Yang thought in awe, 'Once I get my sanity back, I'll have to make sure to thank Weiss for this. She's really saving my butt right now.'

Blake's expression told she still wanted to argue the case. Her mouth opened, but she slowly shut it again as no words managed to come out. She had an argument loaded, but decided to hold it back. Blake shook her head and finally muttered, "Fine."

"Yay! Blake's going on a date!" Ruby cheered as she danced around the room. Weiss grinned with her victory.

Yang turned back to Blake, expecting to find her blushing or expressing some form of emotion, but she was still locked on a poker face. Yang couldn't wait to learn what thoughts were hiding behind that cold gaze.

Blake pulled out her scroll and called Sun back. Yang's plan was still going perfectly despite the giant wall that stood in the wall, being Blake. As Yang laid down on her bed, she couldn't help but wonder why Blake was so resistant to going out with Sun. 'She could just not like Sun,' Yang thought. 'He is kind of obnoxious. Or perhaps she doesn't want to out with Sun because he's a guy… ' Yang's heart fluttered. She scolded herself and proceeded to beat those feelings down with a rake immediately.

'I should at least try to keep a level head until I get a concrete answer.' Yang still didn't know which answer she wanted, though. If Blake was straight then Yang could try to move on with her life and get some sleep which sounded awesome, but Yang wasn't quite sure how she felt about the other option. If Blake was into girls too then Yang's mind would without a doubt proceed to shut down all normal functions. The thought of having a shot with Blake was more than appealing, but then again the thought of actually approaching and asking her out nearly killed all of that appeal.

Blake hung up her scroll. "We're going into Vale for food at six," Blake said, sounding defeated. "I hope you all are happy with yourselves."

Weiss had returned to her studying, but still looked back to Blake just to offer a giant, taunting smile.

"Hey Yang, you're going to go to sleep early tonight, so you better start your homework now," Ruby stated, as if she was Yang's older sister.

Yang grinned. In comparison to the ordeal she went through to set up Blake's date, homework sounded like a soothing change. Yang could call Sun later tonight after their date and find out what Blake's deal was. All of her cards were in play. All Yang could do now was wait.

"Yes, ma'am!" Yang responded, with a grin. "Sounds like a plan to me!"

Yang lunged off her bed, grabbed her binders, and casually took a seat next to Weiss.

With her grin still wide, Yang asked, "So, what'd you get for questions four through thirty?"

Oh no, what will happen next time? I sort of know, but who really knows for sure? NO ONE! THE ANTICIPATION THOUGH! He he, anyways hope you enjoyed!
