Pyrrha and Nora were in their dorm room without Jaune and Ren. Pyrrha told the boys that Nora wanted to speak in private. Jaune and Ren just shrugged their shoulders since this wasn't the first time it had happened.
"So? Spill," Nora demanded. "I can tell you're quite happy. You're no longer sporting that scowl on your face".
"Well, uhm…" Pyrrha said. "Do you remember the other night when Jaune was talking to his fiancé?".
"Of course, I do!" Nora said. "It just happened last night".
"Well, remember that the other person told Jaune to speak to me about something?" Pyrrha said. Nora nodded. "Then we speculated that she was encouraging Jaune to speak to me about confessing his feelings for me".
"Augh! Pyrrha!" Nora said. She was annoyed that Pyrrha was taking too long to get to the main point. "Just get on with it!".
"Right…Sorry," Pyrrha said. "Anyway, our speculation wasn't wrong. Earlier in Forever Fall, Jaune asked me out, and I said yes".
"Say what?!" Nora said. She was shocked that Pyrrha would date someone who already has a fiancé… that's immoral. "You can't be serious? Are you willing to date someone cheating on his fiancé?".
"Well, he isn't cheating on her," Pyrrha said. "As it turns out, Jaune, his fiancé and I are from Mistral. There is a law allowing Huntsman and Huntresses in that Kingdom to have multiple spouses. Even those who aren't Huntsman or Huntresses can have multiple spouses. It's not frowned upon. It just won't be official, unlike licensed Huntsman and Huntresses".
"Holy crap! Jaune's fiancé is okay with sharing him?!" Nora said. Pyrrha nodded. "Are you sure? Or is Jaune only saying that".
"I don't think Jaune is lying," Pyrrha said. "But just to make sure, I ask for Arslan's number. I plan to speak to her about Jaune and if she is willing to share him".
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Nora said. "Call her and find out!".
"Okay-Okay!" Pyrrha said. She then went to her scroll and looked for Arslan's number, which she got from Jaune, and tapped call. "There, happy? Now, be quiet and let me speak with her".
Pyrrha might have sounded confident when she tapped the call button, but now that it was ringing, she was nervous. For one, Arslan was someone Pyrrha knew personally as they would train together from time to time. Second, Pyrrha was going to ask Arslan if she was okay with her dating her fiancé.
"Hello?" Arslan answered her scroll. Pyrrha started hyperventilating. "Hello? Is anybody there? IS this a prank?".
"N-No, this isn't a prank," Pyrrha said. "I wanted to speak with you".
"Wait…I know that voice," Arslan said. "Pyrrha? How did you get my number? Why are you calling me?".
"Uhm…I needed to speak to you regarding Jaune," Pyrrha said. "I overheard that you were his fiancé the other night. Today, during our field trip, he asked me out. I wondered if what he said about you being okay with him pursuing me is real?".
"Oh! So, he finally asked you out!" Arslan said. "That's great! It took a while before I convinced Jaune to pursue you. I admit, at first, I was bummed out that he started showing interest in another person, but knowing Jaune, he didn't do so actively".
"Are you really okay with him dating me?" Pyrrha asked. "I know the law of having multiple spouses, but, as an individual, are you okay with me dating Jaune?".
"Shouldn't Jaune have explained things before asking you out?" Arslan said. "Because he told me that he would inform you about me before asking you out".
"He did inform me, and he also told me that you're okay with sharing," Pyrrha said. "But I wanted to hear it from you".
"Well, to be honest," Arslan said. "I don't mind if he dates you".
"You don't mind?!" Pyrrha exclaimed. "I know that Jaune already told me but hearing it directly from you is still quite shocking".
Pyrrha and Arslan continued talking, all the while Nora was listening. After 30 minutes, Pyrrha ended the call. After knowing that she's free to date Jaune with Arslan's permission, Pyrrha giggled.
"Wow! I can't believe this is actually happening!" Nora said. "So? When are you going on a date with Jaune?".
"Nora!" Pyrrha said. She blushed. "I don't know. I've never done something like this before".
"Hey! How about this coming weekend?" Nora suggested. "Rather than our usual weekend team training session, you and Jaune could go on a date?".
"That's a lovely idea," Pyrrha said. "Do you think I should invite Jaune to the date? Or hint to him about wanting to go on a date?".
"Oh, please, Pyrrha," Nora said. "We're not living at the old age where men have to be the ones to ask for a date. I think you should invite him to a date, and you plan it".
"But I don't know what to do on dates!" Pyrrha said. "I've never been on one. I don't know how this works".
"If Jaune really likes you," Nora said. "I think he won't mind where you go or what activities you have planned. He would enjoy it because he's doing it with you".
"I guess you're right," Pyrrha said. She then had a look of determination on her face. "But that doesn't mean I get to do this without effort. I want Jaune to have fun along with me, not just because he's with me".
"Cool!" Nora said. "So? Are we going to plan a date for Jaune?".
"Hmm…" Pyrrha was thinking. She then had an idea. Pyrrha has always wanted to be like an ordinary girl. So, what better to have a normal date? "I think I already have an idea in mind".
"Aww! I was hoping for a girl's night with team RWBY while bonding over thinking of a good date for you and Jaune," Nora said. She then shook her head. "Such a shame".
"We can still have a girl's night with team RWBY," Pyrrha said. "Just no talking about my date with Jaune. Oum knows, Weiss doesn't like Jaune very much".
"I still don't get why Weiss doesn't like Fearless Leader," Nora said. She then did a thinking pose. "I mean, he is the kindest person I know and most caring".
"I think Weiss believes that Jaune doesn't belong to Beacon due to his poor performance," Pyrrha said. "Plus, Jaune didn't give Weiss any attention when she told him she was a Schnee. I believe Weiss was insulted then".
"So… she's self-centred?" Nora said. "Well, her loss. Jaune-Jaune is the second-best person I know".
"Second best?" Pyrrha asked. "Who's the first?".
"Of course, Jaune is the second, silly," Nora said. "Ren is always going to be my number one!".
"You know, Nora. After everything I went through with Jaune," Pyrrha said. "I think you should ask Ren out. Who knows? Maybe one day, it would be too late, and he would take an interest in someone else. Oum knows, it hurts so much when I thought I no longer had a chance with Jaune".
"Pfft! Come on, Pyrrha!" Nora said. "Ren and I are not like that".
"I'm not going to force you to ask him out," Pyrrha said. "All I'm saying is that you should make your move fast because all good men are easily out of the single market".
"Dang it! Pyrrha!" Nora said. She then pouted. "Now, you have me worried about some hussy taking my Ren!".
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you worried!" Pyrrha said. "I'll just not say anything more".
"There's nothing to apologies for, Pyrrha," Nora said. She then sighed. What Pyrrha said was true. "I guess you're right. I was just worried that it might happen".
"So? Why don't we come up with a way for you to ask Ren out?" Pyrrha asked. "It could be a topic about our girl's night with team RWBY".
"Ooooooh! That's a great idea!" Nora said. But then she became worried. "But what if Ren doesn't see me the way I see him? I'm worried that asking him out might break our current relationship".
"Nora, I doubt Ren would no longer see you as a friend because you asked him out," Pyrrha said. "The only way you and Ren would no longer be friends is when you two are together-together".
"Oh, my Oum, Pyrrha! You scared me!" Nora said. "I thought there was really a chance that Ren would no longer be my friend!".
"S-Sorry!" Pyrrha said.
"We really need to work on stopping you from apologising all the time," Nora said. "Anyways, when do you think we can have the girl's night out with team RWBY?".
"This coming Friday is a good day," Pyrrha said. "I can also ask them for help getting ready for my date with Jaune, which I plan to have on Sunday".
With Pyrrha and Nora having made plans, all they have to do now is to ask team RWBY if they would be available for girl's night. If Pyrrha remembered correctly, Ruby has wanted one for a while now, which is perfect.
