So I actually completely forgot about the whole 'Blake' plotline. With her freaking out about Roman Torchwick and the White Fang just before the dance.

Considering Blake's not the center of attention in this fic and for my own convenience (and sanity) I'm just going to go ahead and say that the conversation between her and Yang happened before Weiss showed up.

Pyrrha was sitting down staring directly at Jaune as Nora prodded him with questions. However her mind was blank, the only thing present was this ringing noise which started the moment she heard Nora's accusation about Jaune going to the dance with Weiss.

Just the thought of her knight going out with another woman was... It...

She shuddered.

"-ey"

Before she realized it, her chest began to raise and retract rapidly. Was this it? Death? Was Pyrrha Nikos, the Invincible Girl going to die from a panic attack caused from heart break? Was that even possible?

"Pyr-"

She honestly didn't even know if she would mind. Being conscious right now felt just awful. Wait, was she conscious? This could be a nightmare.

Yes, a nightmare. That could explain this horrid ringing in her head.

"Pyrrha!"

She jumped up. "Waah!"

Her semblance subconsciously activated and some appliances with metal on her night stand tumbled off it towards her.

The three other members of JNPR stared at her, with Ren being the closest while Nora was still close to Jaune.

It looked like Ren was the one who snapped her out of her thoughts. She couldn't show her true feelings now though, despite how difficult they might be to hide.

"Oh, uhm. Yes, Ren?" she'd ask with her practiced smile.

Ren leaned back. "You looked out of it there. Are you alright?"

She blinked and glanced over towards the other two who's attention were also on her now. That wouldn't do.

"Of course." she'd nod.

Nora rolled her eyes. It didn't seem like she was fooling the girl.

Jaune narrowed his eyes a bit. She wasn't sure if he saw though her lie or was suspicious. "Are you sure? You're kind of... Sweating a bit there."

She was? Her eyes widened. How long was she stuck in her own head for? This wasn't good.

Standing up, Pyrrha nodded. "I'm... Perfectly fine." she stated and then turned to walk towards the door. "Though, perhaps I'm a bit... Restless. I did skip out on some practice today. I think I'll correct that."

"Hey Pyrrha, w-" Jaune tried to speak but she shut the door before he could finish.

She ignored the call and took a deep breath outside the room. Turning, the girl walked down the hall, thinking of just going for a jog to clear her head. Perhaps some target practice or swordplay. Anything, really.

Jaune and the rest of them paused for a few moments as Pyrrha just left.

"Did she look a bit... 'Off' to you guys?" he'd ask and glanced at both Ren, then Nora.

Ren made a shrug, keeping his neutral expression while Nora let out a groan. "Ugh, you men are hopeless!'

She walked away and hopped onto her bed where she'd start listening to music on her headphones.

Ren scratched the back of his head. He looked a bit awkward as well. "So... Weiss, huh?"

Jaune grinned widely. "Uh... Yeah, it just sorta... Happened I guess."

"Still not sure how though. Pyrrha's advice really did do wonders."

"Well, I'm happy for you." Ren smiled and Jaune did so aswell.

Though for some weird reason, the knight felt a strange tenseness hanging in the air.

Ehh, probably his imagination.

The day of the dance came!

It was 6:45, just 15 minutes until the dance officially began. Ruby, Blake, and Weiss were inside their dorm room getting ready, however Yang went on ahead to prepare for the dance. She apparently had to greet people upon their arrival.

"Weiss, these things are a death trap!" Ruby whined while stumbling forward in her dress. She never thought too much about high heels, but now that she's experiencing them first hand she can honestly say that anyone is asking for death by wearing them in combat.

The heiress spoke from inside the restroom. "It just takes practice! Anything you can do in boots, you can do in heels!" she'd answer through the door.

That was a lie.

Ruby knew it was. Maybe her semblance helped? Did she freeze her feet to stay upright? Or maybe it was those black glyphs, they kept things in place right?

If Ruby tried to sprint in these she'd break her ankles!

"... Right." the speedster mumbled. Honestly, she was too preoccupied with keeping balance to argue further.

Just then, Weiss opened the bathroom door to reveal her outfit. It was simple. A white dress with some gray at the top. Though it did show some skin on the sides of her hips. Surprisingly Yang's dress was whiter. Weird.

She huffed with her arms crossed. "I swear, if Arc is late..." she grumbled.

"He still has 10 minutes, relax." Blake answered.

All three were ready, however Ruby said her and Blake should wait for Jaune to arrive.

But that was... Mostly a lie. Ruby did indeed say that, however it was Yang that bribed her with promises of cookies to take pictures of Jaune and Weiss together.

Ruby stumbled over towards her partner and grasped both her shoulders for support. "Look, I- I know we talked about it last night bu-"

Weiss lifted her hand up and held her palm in front of Ruby's face. "Yes, I know." she sighed. "I'll try to have fun and I'll at least dance with the dolt." she said and lowered her hands. "I didn't forget, happy?"

Ruby grinned and nodded her head multiple times. "Yep!"

Weiss sighed though. What did she do to deserve this?

Knock. Knock. Knock.

...

Knock.

Ruby gasped. "That's gotta be Jaune!" she'd say happily

Weiss only rolled her eyes.

It definitely was. Only a buffoon like him would add in a delayed fourth 'knock'. Did he think three wasn't enough or something? They have perfectly good ears!

Or at least she did... Well, Blake probably had better ones. Ruby's was questionable though.

Weiss turned and started to walk over. Answering the door to her... Date was only natural after all. She didn't want to seem timid or anything of the sort.

Though the moment she did, Ruby's grip on her shoulder's slipped and she fell forward on the ground.

Weiss gripped the doorknob and turned towards Ruby. "You dunce." she'd say and twist the knob to open it.

When she faced forward she was met with Jaune standing before her, as she assumed. He was wearing a suit and surprisingly pulled it off rather well. She didn't expect him to look much different than in the standard beacon uniform, perhaps it was all the black?

"Jaune." she'd greet. Not using his surname felt appropriate for the current circumstance. Hopefully that would change once this night was over.

The buffoon scratched the back of his head. "Ehehe... Hey Weiss. You... Uhm... Ready?" he asked.

She paused for a moment and noticed that both Ren and Nora were behind him. But no Pyrrha. Strange.

"As ready as I'll ever be." she said.

Sporting a grin, the dunce stepped back, she assumed to make room for her to exit.

Is he for real?

Weiss let out a huff. "You dolt, you're supposed to escort me!" her arms crossed.

It didn't appear like the fool knew what that meant though. He just looked at her confused. "Uhm... Aren't... I?"

The heiress let out a sigh. "Just... stick out your arm, okay?"

He shrugged and complied in what could only be described as the worst way possible. Literally lifting his arm out for it to be pointing straight forward.

She stared at it baffled. Was he for real? Has he no culture? Was she seriously going to the dance with this imbecile?

She grabbed the moron's wrist and bent it down. "Like this!" she'd say until his elbow was bent and it was in a more appropriately angular position.

"O- oh! S- sorry!" he looked panicked.

No matter. She'll suffer just this once. Just this one night in her first year of beacon and this will be forever dealt with.

After correcting his arm, she threaded her own through his and looked up at him. "This is how you escort a lady." she said, correcting him.

"Right! Got it!" he flinched. "I'll uh... Remember that!"

She rolled her eyes. Like he'll need to.

"Let's go. I don't want to be late." she told him and he nodded.

"Wait!"

The voice was obviously Ruby's. To be honest, she kind of forgot about her teammates for a second there.

Jaune twisted around to face Ruby. Weiss accompanied the act by turning herself, also curious as to what her partner wanted.

*FLASH*

It hit both of them instantly.

Weiss' eyes widened and Jaune flinched a bit afterwards, but Ruby got a perfect picture from the two of them, arms linked, on her scroll.

"RUB-"

Before Weiss could even finish a single word, Ruby turned into petals and darted passed them out the door. Just a diminishing breeze in her wake. At least... That was probably the idea.

"Ow!"

A grunt was heard and everyone turned to see Ruby on the ground at the end of the hallway, just a meter short from turning the corner. It looked like her heels caused her to fall.

Jaune blinked. "Ruby? Are you-"

"I'm fine!" she yelled back and stood up. She gave a quick wave and vanished from sight again in a blaze of rose petals.

The four of them in the hall- Ren, Nora, Jaune, and Weiss stared ahead at the leader's antics. Jaune hoped she was actually alright, however Weiss was fuming.

"Did she... Did she just take a picture?!" The thought of her being photographically linked with this... This...

What word hasn't she used yet? Dolt? Dunce? Moron? Idiot? Buffoon? Dimwit? Fool?

Blockhead.

Yes, that would do.

Continuing from where she left off- This blockhead was unbearable! The audacity of that girl. The moment she finds her at the dance she'll be-

"So uh... Shall we go?"

Ah, right. The fool attached to her arm.

She internally sighed, but kept her outside appearances straight. Right now she would attend a proper dance. The moment she answered the door to her... Date... She had to have proper etiquette. Fumbling over her childish leader's antics would only be disgraceful.

"Yes. Let's go." she spoke and even gave the buffoon a half-hearted smile. He seemed to return it and nodded. However his attention was drawn away once he looked into her dorm room.

"Uhm... What happened to Blake?" he asked.

The other three looked into the room as well to see that a cat faunus was suspiciously missing. However Weiss could have sworn they didn't have that window open earlier.

Not gonna lie, I didn't expect myself to want to write more than one chapter of this. But apparently I did, so here we are.

Unlike what I said earlier, I kind of set this chapter up to have a 'part 2' which would be the actual dance itself. I don't like giving myself time limits, so I'll write it whenever I wanna which could be anywhere between tomorrow and never.
