Yo Peeps, GateMasterGreen here with chapter 7. As a forward notice, this is being written the same day as the last chapter. The chapter itself, whenever it gets written, is not. I don't know who Yang is with yet, but I have two votes at the moment.
A day or two later and I have returned to it. I don't think you guys got what I meant. I was saying you had the choice of who Yang got. It didn't have to make sense with the bar setting. Even so, Melanie is so far a favorite, but I'll wait one more chapter for you to decide. Meanwhile I need to change up the scene at the bar.

Roman slid his scroll out and began sifting through the applications. He had a few messages, junk mail probably. Regardless, he opened the message center and frowned. He was apparently asked to perform another heist. He sighed. It was much more relaxing to lounge about in his quarters than to bother with crime at the moment. He sat up, pushing his covers aside before getting up off his mattress. The master criminal walked over to his closet and set about on getting dressed.
A few moments later and he was exiting the base in his standard getup with a neutral face, came in hand. He had decided to do the job solo, so he walked leisurely towards his destination. Perhaps Red and her little crew would try to stop him. He had to smile at that. It was the only fun he had as of lately with all of Cinder's schemes.
He whistled a little tune, making his merry way into town.

Emerald woke up and glanced about. She wasn't in her room, nor her bed. Her eyes locked on two figures to her right. Ruby and Blake we both asleep, the faunus curled up on the younger girl's arm, just like Emerald probably had been.
The thief rolled off the bed, catching herself before she hit the floor. Pushing up from the ground, she shifted so she could stand. Upon looking up, she saw Yang right in front of her. Emerald laughed nervously. "Hello."
Unbeknownst to Emerald, Yang's glare wasn't serious. "You slept with my sister." It wasn't a question, but a statement.
The thief winced. "Not quite the way you think. We just..." She searched for the right words. "Shared a bed."
Yang crossed her arms. "Oh, I'm sure." She replied sarcastically. She had to stifle a laugh. It was too fun messing with her sister's girlfriend.
"Is it necessary to mess with her, Yang?" A calm voice asked. The blonde looked over to see amber eyes looking at her.
"Sorry, Blake. I just wanted a little fun." She said, her act dropping and a smile appearing on her face.
Emerald frowned. "You were messing with me?"
"Yup."
The thief sighed. "Why?"
The brawler shrugged. "It's fun. What can I say?"
Blake chuckled. "Quite a few words, apparently."
A snort beside her alerted the others that Ruby had awoken too. Just then, an alert sounded from Emerald's scroll. She slid it open and frowned. "Roman, you ass hat."
Ruby looked at her questioningly. "What did he say?"
Emerald held the scroll to face the others. It read:
"Bring your girlfriend and tell her it's time to tango again, from dust till dawn."

Roman watched as the girls crawled over the edge of the roof, and lining up before him. He could've gotten away before, but he was bored. "Hello, Red! Did you get my message?"
Ruby nodded, a flicker of mischief in her eyes. "Yeah, but I didn't take you as a dancer."
"More of a pimp actually." Yang piped in. "You could certainly pull the look off."
Roman shrugged and set his loot aside. "Let's not waste our pleasantries and get to the reason you're here." He lifted his cane, the sight flipping up.
Emerald walked over to the side. It wasn't her he wanted to fight. She did watch, though, as Ruby and the other two girls pulled out their weapons. She watched with excitement as the fight began. Ruby had launched forward, bringing Crescent Rose around in a sweeping arc. Roman blocked with his cane before turning to slap Gambol Shroud aside, hitting the flat of the blade. He didn't have a moment to rest as Yang rushed him. He pushed the scythe's blade away before dancing out of Yang's way. This was the first second of the fight.
A shot fired towards Ruby, who jumped back to avoid it. Roman flipped his cane in his hands and swung it like a baseball bat, sending Yang flying back. Just as she became airborne, he hooked his cane around Blake's wrist and jerked it up, flipping her. He kicked her away before she hit the ground. Dusting himself off, he laughed. "Come on. Is that it?" He had to block another strike from Ruby. He held it back as he stared into her silver eyes. "That's more like it."
A sniper round fired, the scythe blade jerking back. Roman released his grip on the cane as it flipped around as the blade jerked it back. He caught it with a thwack not a second later. Emerald looked at him with wide eyes. It took a certain level of skill to be able to pull that off. With his weapon reset in his grip, he fired another round before turning to block Blake's strike at his back. He parried her blade aside as a phantom of her appeared with a strike aimed a his side. Roman turned, the blade sweeping by harmlessly. Shifting his feet, he pushed off his back leg and slammed his elbow into Blake's chest. She flipped back, grimacing in pain from the hit.
Not even watching, he turned and held up his cane, the end of the barrel resting on Yang's collar bone. "As good as that was, I must be going." He winked at them. "I don't think you'd want to try to stop me. Not even stronger auras would help against a point blank range explosive shell." He lowered the cane and walked away, passing the bag of his loot, not even sparing it a glance. "I seem to have lost my bounty of dust, I better go look for it." With that, he leapt from the roof.
Emerald clapped as she walked over. "He kicked your asses." She laughed. "That was amazing."
Ruby, mostly unscathed, frowned. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Emmy."
Blake groaned as she sheathed her blade. "He's certainly skilled."
Yang, however was wide eyed. "He could've killed me. He has his gun set on my skin."
Emerald snickered. "I told you. He doesn't want to kill you girls." Her smile widened. "He finds fighting you to be fun."
"We need to return the stolen items." Ruby pointed out. "We can head back to the dorm after that."
The others agreed and got right to it.

(The previous night.)
"Fine." The other girl replied. "And yourself?"
"Pretty good. So what's going on with you?" Yang asked.
The other girl deadpanned. "Getting a drink, obviously."
Yang nodded before glancing at Junior, who was running the bar this time around. "Strawberry sunrise, the usual fashion."
The sharply dressed man nodded and got to making her drink before handing it the brawler. "Here you go."
"Thanks." She said, placing a lien card on the counter, slipping it to Junior who pocketed it. The blonde turned to look at the other girl. "Do you have any plans this weekend?"
The other girl quirked a brow. "Are you asking me out?"
Yang nodded. "Yep. What do you say?"
"I'm sure I'll be free on Saturday." She said. "We'll see."
End...
