Chapter 4: Plans
The next day, Jaune was sitting at his desk, the entertainment section of the newspaper in front of him.
"What'cha doin?"
Nora's sudden statement caused him to jump.
"GYAH! NORA! N… Nothing."
"You can't fool me! I know what you are up to!"
"Y-you do?" the blonde stammered, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"You are looking for a movie!"
He let out a sigh of relief that she hadn't caught on to what was really going on. Which was good for him. The last thing he wanted was Nora knowing about his date with Pyrrha. She would certainly do something foolish with that information.
"Need a hand?"
"No thanks. Ruby offered to help me."
Feeling slightly defeated, Nora skipped away.
"Alright! I'm off to find Ren."
With her out of the way, Jaune got up and took the paper with him across the hall. He knocked on the door for team RWBY's dorm, and was slightly shocked when it just opened.
He cautiously said "hello?" into the dark opening, and was relieved when Ruby stepped out to meet him.
"Hey Jaune. What's up?"
"Ruby, I… I need…"
"Jaune, you're going to have to say it or I can't do anything."
"I have a date with Pyrrha this Saturday and I have no idea what type of movies she likes, or even what her favorite foods are, or…"
"Jaune. Calm down. It'll be fine. Let's get to a desk so we can sort this out, okay?"
The petite scythe wielder shot him a smile and he calmed down.
"Thanks, Ruby. I'm new to this whole dating thing."
"It's going to be okay, Jaune. You can't possibly screw it up. Now. What movies were you thinking?"
As they walked through the hallways, Jaune listed off several films that he had thought were interesting.
"Those all seem interesting, Jaune, but you need to pick one."
"Oh," Jaune hung his head in defeat. "I'll never figure this one out."
"You will. Let's see here," she reached over and grabbed the paper from his hand.
"Let's see. Here we go! She might like this one!"
The blonde looked at the one she was pointing at.
"Nope."
"Are you sure?"
"Yup!"
"How do you know?"
"Yang and I went to see it last week."
"Oh. Was it bad?"
"Nope."
"Not even in the least?"
"Nope."
"You're not all that helpful on this, are you?"
"Nope."
"I'm trusting you on this one. Thanks, Ruby."
"You're welcome, Jaune."
"Now for the fun part. Where to go for dinner?"
"That is up to you two."
"Riiight."
"Jaune, you can't be worrying about this like it is the end of the world."
"But what if I make a fool of myself? Then she'll probably hate me."
"Nope."
"How do you know that? She's probably waiting for me to screw it up."
"Nope. You'll be fine. Just do what you are going to do and it'll all be fine."
"Alright. Thanks again for your help."
"Not a problem. Have fun on Saturday."
Jaune looked at the paper and the area Ruby had circled. And he swallowed hard. Exhaling, he got up and walked off to find Pyrrha.
To Be Continued…
All that this chapter contains is the buildup for the date. Mwahahahahahahahaha! Now we move forward and let everything work. Hopefully.
