Hello again! The first chapter did an awful lot better than I had expected it to, so I would like to thank all of you that followed, favoured and reviewed. I have tried to account for your comments and alter the way I wrote Pyrrha and Nora. I really didn't know quite what to do here and spent a lot of time staring at a blank page but after some thought I have a good idea where I want to take this from here. Fun times ahead, I hope :S

"Good morning!"

Pyrrha awoke dazed and confused to find Nora's grinning face hovering over her as she sung her greeting. The Champion was far from pleased at her somewhat abrupt awakening but couldn't help but smile. Both as Nora's good cheer and contagious smile as well as her recollection of the previous night's events. She simply couldn't believe he had carried her back and tucked her in. For a brief moment she considered that it might just have been a dream, granted it wasn't the first time that the Blonde knight had been the subject of her dreams.

The redhead showered and dressed quickly. She returned to the dorm in the hopes of speaking with Jaune, but to her surprise he was nowhere to be found. His bed was made and his blue rabbit onesie was folded neatly by his pillow. That was odd. On her bedside table her scroll buzzed. The message was from Jaune.

'Come to the roof.'

Pyrrha had to admit it she was curious, it was unlike Jaune to leave so early in the morning without good reason. She left Nora and Ren on their way to the canteen with a smile and a promise that she would catch them up later with their leader in tow. As she headed up the flights of stairs towards the door to the roof she began to grow nervous.

'Why was he up so early? Maybe this is about last night'

Opening the door she saw the knight. He was sat on the edge with his legs dangling over gazing out at the Emerald Tower. He turned to her before and frantically waved her over.

"Hurry! You have gotta see this"

The Spartan made her way over and sat next to him.

"You're just in time, look!"

He pointed towards the tower. She was just about to say that she didn't understand when the sun's rays rose just high enough to hit the colossal gems within Ozpin's tower blazing through them and bathing the rooftop in a an iridescent green light. Pyrrha put a hand over her mouth in a soundless gasp. It was not every day that she saw something to take her breath away but this was one of those moments

"Now you have got to admit, that was a sight well worth the seeing"

The blonde said smugly, a smile playing about his lips. The Champion's only response was to nod. Spurred on by her reaction Jaune decided to make his move.

"Pyrrha, I've got something I wanna ask you."

"Jaune, you know you can ask me anything" she smiled warmly, her eyes not leaving the spectacle in front of them.

"W-well, I was uh...I was wondering if maybe you might wanna hang out,sometime y'know...just us... It's OK if you don't, I mean ill understand but I thought it might be fun cause we don't really ever just hang out 'cause we're normally training and I..."

"Jaune..." The Spartan interrupted him smiling and shooting him a knowing look "Are you asking me on a date?"

Jaune shot past blushing and went straight to near meltdown phase.

"W-would i-it be bad if I said yes?" he stammered. His face growing more red as time went on. He was pulled out of his state of embarrassment as she took both his hands in hers and turned him towards her.

"I would love to Jaune." she giggled.

"W-well that's great! Shall we say eight at the campus statue?"

"Eight sounds good" her viridian eyes shone with a mixture of joy and excitement. "Now come on, we should eat before the cafeteria closes."

Still holding his hands the Huntress-to-be pulled him to his feet and led him off to the mess hall.

Team RWBY and Nora had squealed with excitement when she had told them of her date with the Knight. It was no secret amongst them that the Champion harboured a certain affection for the Hunter in training, but it had always seemed that he had been too busy chasing after Weiss for him to notice her, so when she had told them that Jaune had asked her on a date and indeed the fact that she hadn't ever been on a serious date before the levels of excitement sky-rocketed.

The girls all flew into a frenzy arguing over the correct amounts of make-up and what kind of outfit that Pyrrha would wear. The amount of fuss that was being made of her overwhelmed the Spartan, this was going to be a day of firsts. It was quickly decided that an impromptu shopping trip was necessary, a decision in which Pyrrha had had very little say. Still if there was a chance of improving her date with Jaune, she was willing to go along with it.

Jaune sat in team JNPR's dorm room. After breakfast Pyrrha and Nora had gone with team RWBY to prepare for that evening. Jaune was shattered after all that had happened and the clock had yet to strike noon. He had no idea where he was going to take her for their date and he had no idea what he was going to wear. Panic was beginning to set in.

"What about a restaurant? That's romantic right?" the knight offered pleadingly.

"Jaune. Don't over-think it. I'm sure that you will both find it enjoyable regardless of where you decide to take her." It was at times like this that Jaune truly valued Ren. His level headed attitude always served as an effective way of calming the leader down.

"You're right." the knight sighed calming slightly "I think I know just the thing to do"

Pyrrha was growing restless. Their shopping trip had been fun to begin with but after looking through what she was sure was every clothes shop in vale she was losing patience. They had spent the last couple of hours trying on all manner of dresses and gowns and yet they still had to find one that they all agreed was right for the occasion.

Just as the redhead was bordering on a total loss of hope they entered a small shop away from the main precinct.

'Frock, stock and Two Smoking Heels'

They all hurried inside sending the door beeper into overload. The lady at the counter stared in disbelief. It was the largest number of customers she had had in a long while.

RWBY and NP wandered about the small boutique gushing over some of the more classy numbers. Pyrrha and Ruby hit up the red items, Weiss the white ones, Blake and Yang the black and white whilst Nora rushed about loving everything in a hyperactive frenzy.

Before long the Champion was stuffed into a changing room with an arm stacked high with gowns and dresses to try on. Each and every time she stepped out it was met with a general consensus that it wasn't quite right. Finally she reached the last item in the pile. It was her favourite that had been picked due to the fact it was her colour. Red.

Nervously she stepped out from behind the curtain and heard the collected gasp of the five girls. Weiss nodded to the store manager

"We'll take it"

"It's perfect!" Nora squealed in excitement, jumping up and down clapping as she went.

"If Vomit-boy doesn't take the bait on this one he's either blind, stupid or maybe both" Yang spoke with a wink making Pyrrha blush the same shade as the dress she wore.

"You don't think it's too much do you?" she asked coyly.

"Nonsense! I'm sure he will love it!"

Weiss insisted on paying for the dress leading to a free-for-all as the other members of team RWBY sought to have their favourites paid for. Weiss was successful at fending them off until Ruby broke her resolve with her infamous puppy-dog eyes.

"Ugh fine! But only one item each!" Her response elicited laughter from Pyrrha and Nora who had been stood back watching the affair next to the frightened store manager.

As they left the store Pyrrha tried to pay Weiss back her Lien for the dress but the ice queen would have none of it.

"If it helps put you and Jaune together and rescues me from his advances, then it is money well spent." she spoke matter of factly but internally she was happy to be able to help the Champion.

'Watch out Jaune, here I come' Pyrrha thought, a mischievous smile on her lips

That evening as the time for his date drew near Jaune finally finished his preparations. It had taken all day to track down the relevant people to complete his arrangements and was finally confident that everything was ready. Besides him sat a wicker basket which he had packed full of specially prepared Mistral cuisine (he had had to practically beg the kitchen staff for their help).

The knight checked his scroll, seven-thirty. He gathered his 'date clothes' and hit the showers. five minutes later he returned fussing over his shirt collar. He had gone for simplicity with his outfit. A black shirt with the sleeves rolled up just beyond the elbow, and black trousers. He didn't want to overstate the evening and make his partner uncomfortable after all.

Jaune gathered his basket and left the dorm and headed for the statue. He would rather head there, arrive early and burn time doing so than stew it out in the dorm and over-think matters.

Across the hall from the JNPR dorm, Pyrrha was finishing her final preparations. She was sat on Weiss' bed and her nerves were beginning to show. She laughed internally, facing off against death-stalkers and Ursa she would hardly flinch and yet now before a simple date she found her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Checking her scroll she saw that it read seven-fifty five. The huntress-to-be stood, gathered her thoughts and stepped out into the corridor. She ran down the halls for fear of being late. Her fears were unjustified however as she arrived to find him sat awkwardly at the base of the statue a small basket next to him.

She took a deep breath to steel herself and slowly walked towards him. The knight was torn from his thoughts by the sound of footsteps. Looking up he caught his first glimpse of his date and his jaw dropped. He was not disappointed.

She was wearing an elegant strapless dress with bronze trim. It hugged her figure perfectly from her shoulders to her waist making Jaune blush. It was split on her left side exposing her smooth calves. She had let her hair out of its usual ponytail so that it cascaded over her shoulders like a river of magma. She had forgone make-up save for her signature green eye-shadow which further accentuated her eyes so that they looked as flawless emeralds to his eyes. She was the epitome of beauty.

Jaune grew bashful as she approached. His own attire was poor in comparison to that of his date. By underplaying the formality he had hoped to put her at ease, yet now he feared that it would seem like he wasn't trying.

"J-I-uh... wow"

the knight stammered as his face flushed red, composing himself he tried again.

"You look amazing!"

The Champion giggled.

"You scrub up pretty well yourself"

Jaune retrieved his basket and took her hand. He led her away from the statue and towards the gardens. With the food on one arm and the girl whom he was sure was the most beautiful on campus on the other he led the way to one of the academy's most secluded lawns. There Pyrrha saw a lone willow tree, and below it lay a blanket bathed in candle light courtesy of a little detour. Her eyes widened at the sight.

"I'm know it's not a fancy restaurant, but I hope you like it"

The Redhead hugged him tightly. Her eyes sparkling in the moonlight.

"Jaune, it's perfect."

So there you have it. I know there will be some of you whom may feel like I moved things along too quickly and for that I apologize. I shall be levelling it out from here. Fun fact, a lot of this was written under the influence of the lord of the rings soundtrack. As always leave comments, reviews and suggestions and I'll take them all into consideration. The next chapter will hopefully be all the romance my brain can muster.
