Chapter 3:The dance- Part one

Cinder's POV

After taking Ruby to her room to her group/ family, I walked back to my room where Emerald and Mercury stared at me mysteriously. I sighed and sat on my bed. "Where have you been this whole time?" Emerald shouted. I glared and confirmed, "I was getting information. There's going to be a dance on Sunday. At 8." "So, what's the plan?" Mercury asked. "I don't know," I answered. "Maybe you could cover for me. While the dance is going on, I'll go to the main room at the top floor of the school and hijack the security. After, it's on to the next plan. Which is finding their weak point." Mercury nodded but Emerald gave me a glare, just like the girl from earlier. I threw it back and she stared at the floor quickly. "Now get some sleep." I command and they both fell asleep quickly. I laid down, looking at the ceiling while thinking of Ruby. She has a dress but no date... Maybe I can accompany her. As a friend. Maybe... No. I can't. The team is already suspicious as it is. I fell asleep, still thinking of Ruby...

Ruby's POV

Tonight is the night. The dance. I don't know what's the big deal about it. I mean, you just dance with the one you love. I don't have a love. Unless you're talking about sisterly love. I can dance with Yang-I don't know how these things go! It's probably for the best I just stay in the back of the crowd...

Jaune walked towards me slowly. He leaned to me a little and I did the same. "Hiding out at the punch bowl too, I see." He claimed. "Eeeeyeeeep." I said. "To the social awkward." He cheered sarcastically and lifted his cup to me. I did the same as we cheered to ourselves. "I see you and Weiss didn't work out." I whispered to myself. "Eh, it's no big deal." He responded. "Well, uh... Weiss came to the dance alone." I told him. He nearly spit out his drink when I said that. I nodded, "Yeah. She said she had to much to do then focus on boys." We both turned to Weiss who was trying to fix a plant. But it didn't work. Then there was Neptune. He was telling jokes to Blake and Sun, which made all three of them laugh. Jaune groaned in anger, seeing Weiss alone. "Hold. My. Punch." He ordered. I did and he walked away, leaving me alone again...

I went up the stairs to Yang looking down at everyone. I stood next to her and she smiled. "You know? We needed this." She assured me. "Yeah. And you did a great job too." I commented. "Awww thanks, sis!" She yelled and hugged me. "Tomorrow it's back to work." "Well, I'm sure we can handle whatever gets thrown at us." I reassured.

Everyone was dancing and having fun. Until I heard people whistling and howling. Others clapped and I looked down to see who was the person getting all this attention.

It was Cinder.

She was wearing a black long glittering dress with long gloves and heels. She seemed stunning! Her eyes met mine and she smiled. I crooked smiled back, making her laugh softly. "My Ruby! I'm sorry I kept you waiting!" She called out to me. Everyone then turned to my direction as I blushed. "W-What do you mean?!" I questioned. She got on one knee and lifted her hand up to me. "Why, darling, I wanted to do this earlier, but there was stuff I had to do!" She yelled sweetly. She took out a two flowers from behind her. It was a corsage and a boutonniere. She put on the boutonniere and lifted the corsage to me. "Ruby Rose! May you please be my date?" She asked, giggling afterwards. I covered my mouth in surprise and turned to Yang. She gave me a thumbs up, saying, "Go get her." I squealed and jumped towards her. She quickly caught and twirled me around. I hugged her and she hugged me back as the crowd cheered. Yet, I still heard some boys whistling like perverts. "Shall we dance, my Ruby?" She cooed. "Yes, my mistress." I answered and she spin me onto the dance floor...
