Hello fanfiction, I'm back for another chapter, sooner than usual too! I don't have a lot to say, so I'm not gonna say it. Just enjoy the chapter and please leave feedback.

*Set during "Burning the Candle"*

*Povelitel's P.O.V*

Why does Mary insist on making all of us go to this stupid dance? I don't even know how to dance, or have anyone to ask. Out of all of us, the only one other than Mary who wants to go is Azazel, and that's just because he's actually taking Mary. Lucas thinks this is just as dumb as I do.

"Alright, Povelitel, try on this blue one."

"I told you, Mary, blue isn't my color, and dances aren't really my thing."

"Tough luck, Vremeni. You're going, and you're gonna have to wear a tux, so pick a color."

"Sigh. Fine. Let me see the black one. Although I still don't see why I can't go casual."

"I agree with Povelitel. If we have to go, why can't we at least go in something we're comfortable in? I don't really like this monkey suit."

I never thought I would actually agree with Lucas on… anything really. But he's right, forcing us to go is dumb, and making us wear these suits is even dumber.

"Because Povelitel, Lucas, this is a perfect chance for all of us to get up and have a good time, rather than just train or lounge around all the time."

"Speak for yourself, Mary. Lucas and I don't even have anyone to go with. Neither one of us knows how to talk to girls. At least not in a way that doesn't get us… him, kicked in the balls."

"HEY!"

"We'll worry about dates for you two later. For now, tell me, Povelitel, which flower do you think looks better with your tux? The red one, or the yellow one?"

THAT'S IT! Flowers are where I draw the line. I need to get the hell out of here.

"I'm getting out of here. This is just stupid."

"You're not going anywhere, Vremeni. Not until you tell me which flower you like."

Let's see if Mary can keep up with me when I use my semblance to escape.

"Yes I am, Mary. And I'm gonna do it like this."

"No! Don't use your…"

*Time freeze*

Too late, Mary. Too late. Now, where can I go to clear my head for a bit? The mess hall sounds pretty good right about now.

*Outside the Mess Hall*

*Normal time*

Food, glorious food. The perfect way to forget all about this dumb dance.

"How do I get her to go? Hmm…"

Is that Yang? What is she doing here? I thought she would be busy organizing the dance.

"Yang?"

"Oh, hey, Pov. How ya doin'?"

"I've had better days. Right now I really want to get my mind off of this dance."

"What does that mean? Do you not plan to go either?"

"Oh, I'm going, but only because Mary is forcing all of us to go. Wait, what do you mean, 'either'?"

"Sigh. My teammate Blake doesn't want to go either. She's too obsessed with… finding someone."

"Oh really? Who?"

"That's none of your concern, Pov. I just need a way to get her to go, one way or another."

What does she mean, 'none of my concern'? Why do I even care? It's her business not mine.

"I wish I could help, Yang. But, I don't really know Blake all that well. Too bad."

*Yang's P.O.V*

"What does a girl have to do to get a cat Faunus to go to a dance?"

"Hold up, she's a Faunus?"

Oh crap, oh crap. Did I say that out loud? Why did I have to say that in front of Pov?

"It's fine Yang. I won't tell anyone. I have no real reason to. It doesn't matter to me whether someone is human or Faunus."

Oh, thank Monty. It's really refreshing to see someone who is understanding about the whole human/Faunus thing.

"Thanks, Pov. Now I just need an idea on how to get her to go to the dance. She's no good if she kills herself looking for answers like I did that one time."

"You know, you really need to stop talking to yourself, Yang. People will think you're crazy."

Damn, he's right. Why do I keep doing that? The last thing I need is everyone thinking I'm crazy.

"Well, if something similar happened to you, why don't you tell her about it? Show her what can happen if she goes too far? Sort of a 'kindred spirit' kind of deal."

Of course! Why didn't I think of that? This could be just the thing I need to get Blake to go to the dance. I really need to thank Pov for this later on. He's so smart in many ways. I wonder if he's asked anyone to the dance yet. I'll ask him about that later, right now, I need to find Blake.

"Pov, you're a genius. But how do I get her to talk to me?"

"Don't cats like laser pointers?"

Oh, this is going to be fun.

*Povelitel's P.O.V*

I'm glad that I could help Yang with her problems, but now I'm stuck thinking about this stupid dance again. Great. So much for getting my mind off of it. Ah well, not like it could be much worse.

"POVELITEL VREMENI!"

Damn. I just had to go and jinx it, didn't I? Well great. Let's see, what are my odds of talking my way out of this?

"Hey Mary. What's up?"

"'What's up' is that you're going to pay for walking out on me when we still have a lot of work to do regarding this dance. Now come back to the dorm now if you want to avoid bodily harm."

My odds are not great, apparently. And I can't use my semblance again right now. Well, damn, I guess I have no choice but to talk about flowers and dates. I wonder if Yang has been asked yet. Eh, probably, so I don't think I have a chance with her.

But still, there is a chance she hasn't been asked yet. Hmm…

And this chapter is finito! Sorry it was short, this was mostly meant to be a filler chapter, meant to keep the rest of the story in line, so it will work out the way I want it to work out in the end.

Anywhos, the next chapter will take place during the dance itself, but sadly will not be posted until Friday. I said it once, I'll say it again, my job SUCKS!

So, until Friday, please leave feedback and I look forward to writing more soon. Buh bye!
