"Get me to vale asap," I told the bullhead pilot as I ran in, the pilot nodded and shut the doors behind me taking off. I wanted to get back in time for the dance, mainly cause I had a date with a very lovely lady that I bailed out when I realized they wouldn't make it time for the dance.
"So what's with the rush?" The pilot asked.
"I have another meeting to make in a day or two," I half lied.
"I see, well it's none of my business," he said going back to his job. I have a little something I had the boys prepare before I got back that I need to be there for.
— at the dorms about a day later—
"Ahh cmon where is he, he said he would be here by now?" Jaune complained while laying on his bed looking at his scroll.
"Patience Arc, he has kept his promises up until now, I don't doubt he will do the same here," Adam said before pulling out his scroll too.
"So how did he convince you three to join our little misfit of an idea?" Jaune asked ten who was meditating on the bed next to him.
"Nora," was all he said back.
"Blake," Sun said much to the chagrin of Adam.
"Sun dragged me along," Neptune said, sighing.
Bursting into the room, I quickly get everything in place, run into the bathroom and get half changed into my dress uniform. And yes half dressed the other half is currently sitting in the dorm room.
"Okay you guys ready?" I asked walking back out of the bathroom.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Jaune said smiling. The other two nodding along in agreement.
"Alright then let's-" my scroll rings, "never mind no time just turn on the camera and start, go go," I said getting in position. Jaune gets up and turns on the camera while the rest of them get in position too.
-at the dance, about 5 minutes earlier-
"Where are they?!" Weiss asked her fellow bandmates backstage.
"I dunno, they said they would show up soon," Yang said shrugging.
"Renny said they were gonna wait for brian to show up first," Nora said absentmindedly.
"Which could mean they never show," Weiss said facepalming.
"Hey hey, it'll be okay, promise," Ruby said with a slight smirk.
"How are you sure?" She asked.
"Why don't I show you why," Ruby said dragging Weiss and by extension the entire female part of the band. Standing on the stage, they were in front of the entire group of people who showed up for the dance, next to them were their instruments and down on the dance floor was Penny Polendina and a projector screen.
The screen flickered to life, showing the boys of the band and some extras sitting on a dorm bed in front of the camera.
—back at the dorms—
For the longest time covered by the overtones.
I started the song, "Dum dum dum,"
Ren started to sing while getting up and picking up the camera.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight,
There would still be music left to write,
While singing he starts to put on his tie and pans over to show Sun messing around with his own tie, Before panning back to his own completed tie.
Ah, what else could I do,
I'm so inspired by you,
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone,
Now I know that happiness goes on,
Ah, that's where you found me,
When you put your arms around me,
I haven't been there for the longest time
Sun takes over and starts singing. grabbing the camera from Jaune and walking over to the restroom and shows me and Adam washing up and putting on our coats before we close the door on him.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall,
And the greatest miracle of all,
It's how I need you,
And how you needed me too,
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Neptune takes over, placing the camera back on the tripod. He then proceeds to sing and freshen up with some cologne.
Maybe this won't last very long,
But you feel so right,
And I could be wrong,
Maybe I've been hoping too hard,
But I've come this far and it's more than I hoped for
Adam takes over, grabbing the camera from behind he turns it around and shows Jaune putting on his officer's cap. He then starts his part.
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I snatch the camera from his grip and looking into the camera, I start singing, and if I'm right coco should be looking at the screen right about now.
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
Jaune takes over, taking the camera from my hands and starts to sing showing both me and Adam putting the finishing touches on our dress clothes.
I don't care what consequence it brings,
I have been a fool for lesser things,
I want you so bad,
I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time
We all sing in unison, while walking out of the dorm room and clambering into a Jeep I had parked nearby.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Driving along we continue to sing.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Parking we get off the Jeep and turn of the camera.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
We walk inside the ballroom, finishing the song each holding our own member of the band, or significant other in some cases.
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time.
"So this is what kept you lot," Weiss said laughing, Neptune smiled, fun fact I siced Ren onto him to teach him how to dance.
"Yep, we spent all of a week planning this," sun said standing next to Yang. It seems he let Adam take the lead.
"Sorry about showing up late Coco," I said smiling brushing her hair out of her face.
"Haha, no problem if that's what happens when you're late," she said laughing, hanging off my neck a little.
"Told ya to trust me," Ruby said, smirking.
"Thanks for the help petals," I said with a laugh.
"So clearly you didn't make such a spectacle for no reason? Is there something I should be aware of?" Coco asked with a smirk.
"Not now," I whispered to her, "meet me at the punch bowl in half an hour," I said quietly.
"Got it," she said letting go.
Just gotta hope this all works out, I mean it should, well that or the internet back in my home universe is gonna call me a simp.
— half an hour later—
"Welcome to the humble abode of the loneliest punch bowl," I said jokingly.
"Funny, so you wanted some privacy for something?" she asked me.
"Yeah, was gonna ask if you want to be official, you know proper dating and not just little coffee dates. If not that's okay by me, our coffee dates are plenty enough for me," I said with an awkward smile.
"Took ya long enough to ask, I guess you just really wanted to impress me first," She said laughing.
"Hey, was it not worth it?" I asked.
"It was, though you could have asked a week or two ago and my answer was gonna be the same," she said leaning in, locking eyes for a moment, I leaned in closer.
Kissing you know it's an act of love, you kiss your loved one during moments of romance, it's a sign in shows and movies. Hell you kiss while doing the dance of two lovers. So I suppose it's her way of saying yes.
Breaking off from the kiss, which if you asked me lasted forever, I say a little out of breath, "I'm sorry but this is a litigious society, I'm gonna need verbal consent," I said mimicking a line from a show I watched a while back.
"Yes, you helmet head," she said laughing.
"Heh, that's what I hoped you meant," I said leaning back in for another kiss.
— end :) —
And that's a wrap for this chapter, I had a hell of a time writing this one, next one will still be at the dance, but I wanted to make this one a little special. Consider it a late/early Valentine's Day special. (And yes it was a little cheesy, but I like cheesy)
I also probably don't have to explain how making out works.
As always hope y'all enjoyed, and if there's anything you want me to know, leave it in a review below.
