["Bloody Stream" - JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE (English Cover by Y. Chang)]
From the darkness…
Strong and silent
Like pillars in the night they break the dawn
Hungry and violent
Scarlet rain falls
Hot and heavy
Show me that you've got the strength to fight
Boy, are you ready?
And so, may love guide your way through every last endless trial
Always tempt your fate with luck and a smile
Watch out for danger left and right it's just like dancing in the dark
You slip through like a knife and cut your way right to the heart
Let your path unfurl and the world will always sing your story
Like a bloody storm
It surges like a bloody storm
When destiny runs through your veins so wild and wet and warm
Fate may pull the strings and who knows what tomorrow brings
But, tonight we stand together!

Volume 3, Episode 4: Done Dancing
(Friday – Day 26)
The night of the dance had arrived, and tension was high. Jaune was terrified as he adjusted his suit for the second time.
"You look fine, Jaune. You really should relax." Ren said assuring him.
"Easy for you to say. You're going with Nora and she's pretty much your girlfriend in everything but words." Jaune remarked as Ren blushed.
"I doubt that…I don't think it could work." Ren remarked.
"Ren, c'mon. Don't be dense. Nora clearly has feelings for you." Jaune said kindly. "It was so obvious."
Nora was red-faced and Pyrrha had an eye twitching like she was about to explode. A knock on the door came and Pyrrha stomped over to open it to show Lapis. She wore a backless blue halter dress with an upward-facing navy triangle, which ties into a blue sash ribbon on the back of her shoulders, and black pumps. The bottom half of her dress was a flowing cobalt blue which was at calf-length with a downward-facing navy triangle around the waist. She wore a necklace, a pair of sapphire earrings, blue lipstick, and purple eyeshadow. She even had her nails and toes done.
"Hot damn, Lapis is in for a night out." Nora said as Lapis chuckled.
"Ivory did my makeup. I'm not one for this. You should have seen Yuki's face." Lapis said mirthfully. "You ready?"
"Yes." Jaune said taking her hand as they left for the dance hall.
'Well, Pyrrha. You screwed up. She's warming up to him." Nora said as Pyrrha contained a scream.
In the Dragon's Den, the gang were all getting ready. Kelly opted to wear a long, green, sleeveless prom dress with a white sash around her waist, white heels, lighter green opera gloves, and a white feather boa around her neck.
"Thanks for applying my makeup, Serena." Kelly said as Serena finished applying Kelly's blush, lipstick, and eye shadow.
Yuki looked at himself in the mirror, he wore a tailored black three-piece suit with an icy blue tie and buttons on the jacket and cuffs. Seeing that money was not an issue, he sprang for the fancy stuff. Blue suede shoes and that tie being silk with his emblem on it.
"Aren't you looking all dapper, blue boy?" Yang said coming out in her prom dress along with her teammates.
Ruby had to get a bigger dress given her new frame. Taiyang still could not get over the fact of this growth spurt was so sudden. Ruby had tons of men (and a few women) asking for her hand in going to the dance with them. Even with the growth, she was still the same Ruby in personality and was a bit overwhelmed by the attention. Sun had stepped in offering a solution in his teammate, Scarlet. Scarlet was not interested in women and made for a perfect shield. Scarlet was more than willing to help.
"If only I was young again." Peach said coming down in a simple black dress and her hair down.
"Where's Ivory?" Weiss asked.
"Here I am!" Ivory said coming out of their dress.
Yuki twitched and sputtered. Her long, luxurious black and brown hair now had side-bangs that covers her right eye. Her eyes are heavy-lidded and seductive with long dark lashes and accented by shimmering lavender eyeshadow. Her ensemble consists of a white sequined strapless dress that reveals a lot of cleavage with a low back, sweetheart neckline, and high thigh slit. In addition, she wears matching gold stilettos, elegant yellow opera gloves, and gold stud earrings. She had a gold necklace, and a pair of stud earrings with her emblems.
"Damn!" Blake remarked as Yuki tried to keep a poker face.
Yuki did not want to say anything, so he gave a thumbs up. However, she revealed that this dress was given to her by the twins. When they walked in, Yuki's jaw hung loose. Both were wearing similar dresses only being that there's shown a bit less cleavage shown and was in their colors.
"Your dates have arrived." Melanie said as she and Miltia had their arm around each of his. "Shall we get down to the hall?"
"Sure." Yuki said as Sun, Sage, Scarlet, and Neptune arrived right at time. "Ah, Team SSSN, you're here to take my darling students to the prom. Don't do anything I won't do."
"Make sure you have condoms, kiddies." Ivory said putting down a basket of them on the table.
Sun tried to at least not look at Ivory look enough to stare, but Neptune shamelessly milked in the sights. Sage sighed forcibly turning his head towards Weiss who was showing a bit of annoyance at his ogling.
"You look lovely." Neptune said trying to appease her.
It wasn't working.
"Well, let's get out to the dance." Yuki said ushering for all to get going.
"Thanks for taking up my offer to come to the dance with me." Sage said as Yang took his hand.
"You're not too bad yourself." Yang said in turn.
Not long after, they had made their arrival. RWBY and SSSN eased their way into the dance floor joining the others.
"Ivory, Kelly, you two have fun. I'll report in with Peach." Yuki said thinking for the side.
There Glynda, Ozpin, Qrow, Ironwood, Winter, and the Ace Ops (except Marrow who was dancing with Penny) stood watch on the side near the punch bowl. Yuki, the Twins, and Peach promptly arrived.
"Which one's your date?" Qrow asked.
"Both of us." The twins said in unison as Qrow nearly choked on his flask.
"Oh, good gods, it's your father all over again." Glynda groaned. "It's only missing the team dynamic if everyone being hot for the leader."
"I mean, that's there. Lapis and I could easily start a relationship if we wanted to, Ivory openly wants to fuck my brains out and would help for a relationship, and Kelly's opened up really only to me. Add the twins, Cologne wanting me to marry Shampoo would gladly accept if I wanted, Yang maybe having a thing for me, and Peach, that's about…eight options I have. Maybe more." Yuki said with a shrug.
"Damn…" Marrow said in shock.
"What was that about my niece being an option?" Qrow snarled.
"If she wants, I'll gladly go for it. Not like you could stop me; your bad luck would make it even worse." Yuki sniped before pouring himself a glass of punch before downing it. "Now, if you excuse me, I got these two to dance with!"
The trio sashayed into the dance floor and Qrow was left glaring at him.
"I blame you, Peach. For getting him that recommendation to get his license." Qrow said now glaring at her. "Now I have to put up with him as an equal."
"Actually, Peach didn't give me the letter." Ironwood remarked. "That was Glynda's doing."
Ozpin and Qrow whirled to Glynda who sighed that the secret was out. She held her head up high and plainly said that she believed that they had proven themselves.
"Besides, I may not agree with all of Atlas and Team YUKI sure as heck don't, but at least Ironwood would be willing to recognize talent and not stifle them due to past grudges that are not of his fault." Glynda said firmly.
"Thanks, Glyn." Peach said leaning up against the wall.
"You and I will talk about this later." Ozpin said with a sigh.
"Doubt it." Glynda thought.
JNPR soon wound showing up their coordinated dance leading the crowds to cheer and get in the groove. Mercury and Emerald were both having a rather good time just forgetting for the moment about Cinder.
"I see you two are having fun. I hope you'll forgive me for my little present for Cinder." Yuki said deviously.
"So, you're the reason she wound up vomiting, pissing, and shitting herself after she ate her breakfast. Emerald owes me twenty lien now." Mercury said smoothly.
"But how did you do it?" Emerald asked.
"He has his ways." Melanie said.
"Still, I almost feel bad for Ilia. She slipped in the vomit and fell into the shit." Emerald thought. "Almost."
Not before long, a slow song came up as Jaune was moving through the motions with Lapis who was enjoying the moment.
"Lapis, do you feel we're being watched?" Jaune said sheepishly.
Lapis looked over his shoulder to see Pyrrha leaning on the wall watching from afar. Lapis could only sigh inwardly. If she was expecting Lapis to just give up her date, she was going to have keep watching. It perturbed her that Pyrrha could not just stand up and confess. However, Lapis decided to just focus on her time with Jaune which was proving to be all the more pleasant.
"I don't think Nora's watching, she's busy with Ren." Lapis said as Nora was taking her time to enjoy the moment.
"I'm just glad that Ilia isn't here to ruin the moment." Yang said relived.
"That would have been a barrel of monkeys." Sun punned as Yang snorted.
"Please don't. I get enough puns from her." Blake said with a sigh.
"But there's that smile." Sun said cheekily.
"I just want this moment to last." Blake said under her breath nuzzling in.
"Same." Melanie said relaxed.
"Love's in the air." Ivory teased in a singsong voice.
"Oh, shut up, you." Lapis snarked.
"So far, this night has gone perfect." Jaune thought. "Nothing could possibly go wrong."
-o-
[Within the mental void of Yuki's mind]
Serena and Amber were watching a movie snickering at the clichés right as Serena felt a buzz.
"What's wrong, Serena?" Amber asked.
"Text message on Yuki's scroll. It's from Neo." Serena said before bringing the text up on screen. "Oh…well the day has finally come."
"For what?" Amber said as Serena rose.
"Neo just informed me that she's spotted White Fang creeping around campus. It looks like their trying to plan an attack. Seems they stole a Paladin." Serena said before deciding to inform Yuki. "Biggest news of them all is Adam's here."
"Yuki…he's going to go after him is he." Amber said worriedly.
"And he'll have to go in alone…because if he alerts everyone else, the paladin's going to paint the dance floor red." Serena said before directly speaking to Yuki.
(A/N: The end of the White Fang is coming, and things about to get ugly. By the way, Green and Mulberry are actual characters, but they were introduced in After the Fall, which considering they teach rather important classes, it would have been interesting to watch in show.)
