Anakin, Jaune, Rex, Ren, and Crimson sit in the cafeteria all dressed and ready to go. With them was R2 beeping happily as the men discussed their plans for the night.

"Okay I've got to bring it up." Anakin states gaining everyone's attention. "Crimson?" He asks earning a hum. "Who did you ask? I can sense that you asked someone. Your mind is worrying about whoever it is, So who is it?"

Crimson raises an eyebrow but smirks. "I guess you'll have to find out. Though I'll admit I had to talk two unhappy people into allowing it."

The guys frowned at his answer but decided that they would find out soon enough. Anakin sighs. "Alright Jaune, how much time do we have left?" He asks.

Jaune looks at his scroll. "We got one hour before it starts." He announces.

Rex groans laying his head on the table. "Uhg this waiting is killing me."

"You said it." Anakin agrees.

Crimson begins tapping his finger on the table. "What do ya think the girls are doing right now?"

The guys shrug. "Panicking over what to wear?" Jaune asks.

"Discussing what they think will happen tonight?" Rex adds.

"Spending an hour trying to pick between two dresses?" Anakin adds. Everyone looks to Anakin with a questioning look. "What? That how Padmé use to be. She would spend almost an hour trying to decide whether she should wear one dress or another despite the fact that it was for senate meetings." The guys have a shrug accepting the answer.

"I'm almost positive they are wondering the same thing as us." Ren says.

Meanwhile in the RWBY dorm room Pyrrha, Nora, Lilly, Ruby, Yang, Blake, and Weiss all sit around discussing what's going to happen at the dance.

"You know?" Yang starts. "I wonder what the guys are doing right now."

"Probably panicking." Lilly says.

"Checking their wallet to make sure they have money?" Nora adds.

"Making plans on how to get lucky tonight?" Weiss says like it was obvious. All of the girls turn to her. "What? That's what every guy wants and you all know it." She say crossing her arms.

Pyrrha sighs. And Ruby face palms. "Weiss. Not every guy is after that." Ruby says. "There May be some out their that are like that, but I highly doubt someone like Jaune or Anakin are after that. That's not even mentioning Ren."

"Yeah." Nora agrees. "I swear I could strip right in front of him and he wouldn't bat an eye."

Pyrrha chuckles. "I wouldn't go that far Nora but yes I see your point. I think it's safe to say that every girl in this room that has a date is lucky." She says earning a few nods and Yes's.

"Yeah, besides. I'm pretty sure they're wondering the same thing we are." Ruby states. "Besides it's not like any of us ever lived up to the stereotypical woman." She adds. "So it's not unlikely that they don't live up to the reputation of the stereotypical man."

Weiss sighs. "I suppose you could be right."

"Stop the press everyone. Weiss just admitted that Ruby could be right about something." Yang says making the room fill with snickers. Weiss glares at Yang before using her Glyphs to freeze Yang in ice.

"Oops." Weiss smirks earning laughs from everyone in the room.

From within the ice Yang spoke. "That's cold." She says as a pun.

"Well girls we'll be off." Weiss says gesturing to Ruby and Yang. "The dance can't start if the planners aren't their."

Later the guys continue to wait in the cafeteria. Jaune checks his scroll. "Alright guys I think it's time to get our dates." He says.

"Finally!" Rex shouts.

"Crimson, you got the location?" Anakin asks.

"Team RWBY's dorm." He says.

"Alright men, move out." Anakin orders earning a collective yes sir from Crimson, Rex, and Jaune. Ren just says sure.

As the group approaches the door they stop right outside. "Okay." Anakin starts. "How are we gonna do this?" He asks turning to his friends.

"Oh!" Jaune says having an idea. "We could knock on the door one at a time, and pick up our dates individually."

Anakin nods. "That's... actually a brilliant idea. Great work Jaune."

"Uh guys?" Ren starts.

"Not now Ren." Rex says. "Okay what order should we go in?"

"Well it's Jaune's idea. He should go first." Crimson states.

"Yeah." Anakin agrees. "After him should be Rex seeing as he's had his girl the longest." Anakin states earning nods and yes's.

"Guys." Ren states again.

"Almost done Ren." Anakin states. "What about you Crimson? Is your date in there?"

"No, I'm meeting her in front of the building." Crimson answers.

"Next should be Ren." Jaune states. "Him and Nora have been together longer. Actually longer than Rex now that I think about it."

"Alright and then that leaves me." Anakin says. "Alright, operation Midnight Ball is a go."

"Right!" Crimson, Jaune, and Rex state.

"Right!" A vary cheerful ginger girl shouts.

That was when Anakin, Jaune, Crimson, and Rex turn around to see Ren with crosses arms next to a very open door holding four beautiful women in dresses. Pyrrha was giggling, Lilly was smirking, Blake was slightly smiling, and Nora had a big wide toothy smile.

"Oh." Anakin says.

Jaune leans over to Anakin. "I think this is what Ren was trying to tell us."

Anakin sighs. "Yeah."

"Operation Midnight Ball huh?" Lilly says as more of a statement.

"It's kinda cute if you think about it." Pyrrha defends the boys.

"Kinda dorky." Nora jabs.

A moment of silence goes by as the two groups look at each other. "So... you girls ready for the dance?" Jaune asks awkwardly. The girls giggle at the boys antics. Lilly nods to Pyrrha who smiles back. Pyrrha then walks forward and offers her hand to Jaune. Jaune is stunned but quickly accepts and begins to walk with her to the dance. Lilly then walked forward grabbing Rex by the Tie.

"Come on soldier boy. Let's go." She says pulling Rex away.

Crimson shakes his head. "Good luck guys." He says walking away.

"Come on Ren let's go!" Nora says cheerfully grabbing Ren's hand and pulling the chuckling man away.

Finally that left Blake and Anakin. Anakin scratches the back of his head sheepishly. "Surprise?" He says. Blake giggles before walking over and fixing Anakin's Tie which had been put on rather sloppily.

"Vary surprised." She says. She then gave him a smirk. "Operation Midnight Ball?"

Anakin chuckles awkwardly. "Y-yeah." He sighs. "None of us are living that down are we?"

"Nope." Blake smiles taking Anakin's arm.
