Chapter 5: Discussion, Part 2

"So, Jaune. I can only assume based on your face that Pyrrha told you?"

The blonde was sitting across from Weiss, but next to his fiancé. His skin tone was also slightly pale, same as Ruby's. He had never expected the discussion to come up that early in the morning. If anybody were to ask him at this point, he was feeling somewhat ambushed.

"Uh-huh."

"And?"

He put his head in his hands. He could tell he was rapidly passing his normal shade and turning red.

"Jaune was just as shocked as Ruby when he was told."

"Oh. I see. So that's how it is then?"

Ruby looked at her fiancé.

"Weiss, it isn't anything like that. Neither of us expected you and Pyrrha to be… well…"

"So sneaky."

Everybody turned to Sun at this point.

"What? I'm only saying the word she's looking for!"

He then shrank slightly until Ruby backed him up.

"He's right."

Both Weiss and Pyrrha blushed slightly at this. They looked at each other and realized that they had made this whole plan without including their other-halves. They looked over at their partners.

"Sorry," was the unison response.

"Weiss, don't apologize. I was just caught off guard. That's all."

"Pyrrha, you don't need to be sorry for making plans. You're better than me at that, anyway!"

Both couples relaxed as they realized that a mutual understanding had been reached. They then all paled when they heard the next statement.

"That means that I get to plan a party for Ruby."

"I call Jaune."

Everybody looked to the sources of the statements. Over the years, Sun and Yang had become party-planning fiends. If they were behind any pre-nuptial festivities, things would get crazy. And they would get crazy rather quickly. They all remembered back to a party that the two had orchestrated immediately after graduation. Lampshades were worn. Ren ended up in a dress. And Nora had been found on the roof after 6 days.

The blonde woman put her hand in the air.

"I promise that it won't be that wild."

She then elbowed the male Faunus.

"Uh… what she said."

"Sun," Blake said, "we still have reason to fear. The definition of 'wild' you two seem to have has been proven to be completely different from the one the rest of us have."

Both blondes smiled nervously and walked out of the room. Neptune rose to his feet soon after.

"I'll keep an eye on them."

For some reason, this reassured everybody present. Then Nora spoke up.

"As for you two," she said pointing fingers at Pyrrha and Weiss, "we have some talking to do ourselves."

Ren slumped and put his head on the table. He only picked it up once the three women had left the room.

"Nora likes to go shopping when things like this happen."

"She'll be fine. Weiss won't let people waste money."

"I can only hope you're right, Ruby. I can only hope."

Out on the quad, Yang and Sun were sitting and talking, unaware of being watched.

"So, you thinking clubbing?"

"Nah. Ruby doesn't do that. She's never been much of a party girl."

"Weird. Always thought you two would have that in common."

"Movies?"

"You know how many times that we did that while we were in school?"

"True."

Every single time that things were suggested by one, the other would shoot it down. This continued until Doctor Oobleck happened upon the confused pair.

"Good day! How can I help you?"

"Doctor! We were… uh…"

"Discussing the nuptial events for your friends and families?"

Sun face-faulted.

"Well… more like pre-wedding things, but same thing."

"Right right right. So you have any plans figured out yet?"

The blonde woman looked at the caffeine addict.

"Uh… Doc? What are you saying?"

"When I was younger, I did my fair share of partying. And I have the perfect spot for you. There is a beach just outside of the city. We used to have parties there all the time. Use that. There should be no problems there."

He then gave them a piece of paper with the location written on it and zipped off to lecture students on history.

Yang turned to Sun.

"Let's scope this place out. See what we're getting into, you know?"

The blonde Faunus nodded in agreement and they sauntered off towards Yang's motorcycle.

Back in the room, Ruby and Jaune were discussing things with Ren.

"Ren, I'm just… not sure, you know?"

"About what?"

"Me neither. It's a big day, and Weiss would want it perfect."

The martial artist looked at his former leader and his friend.

"You two will be fine. I'm more concerned about what Yang and Sun have planned for you two prior to that."

All three of them winced at the thought of the potential for disaster that could come from that. They were pulled back into reality when Blake spoke up.

"Sun won't do anything too dangerous. If anything, he'll keep your sister restrained, Ruby."

Ruby looked at her sister's former partner, and a smile returned to her face. She knew that she could trust the Faunus if she said that. Blake's word was as good as gold.

"Thanks. I still worry."

Down at the beach, Sun and Yang were thrilled to see that it was maintained. What they weren't pleased about was finding a notice that they would have to reserve the beach for the event.

"Oobleck never mentioned this."

"Probably just slipped his mind. He was in a hurry."

Sun smiled as he said this. He had been working with Glynda, but had developed an understanding of the other professors' idiosyncrasies as well. He knew that Port would tell stories as a teaching method, and Oobleck was so far into history that people were lucky to pull him away from a book.

"Fair enough," the brawler said, punching her open palm. "Let's get this reserved."

They headed off towards the office to make their reservation for the coming festivities.

Back in town, Nora, Weiss, and Pyrrha were sitting at a café and enjoying some tea.

"So, do we have a day set," Nora questioned.

"I was thinking... about the end of this semester."

Pyrrha looked at Weiss.

"Why so late?"

The heiress turned to her friend.

"That way, we don't have much to worry about. Do it in the middle of the year, and we have the issue of students ruining things. Do it at the start, and they are using the location we talked about for initiation."

The red-haired woman thought about it for a moment before nodding.

"You're right. Let's shoot for that."

Nora stood up.

"This. Is. Happening! You guys only have a couple months to go then!"

Weiss' eyes shot wide open.

"What do you mean 'a couple months'?!"

"You all got back half-way through the year. They are ending the semester soon."

To be continued…

A.n./ - Yes. I'm strange. I end chapters on funky notes. What happened to Neptune's surveillance service? Once he saw Oobleck was involved, he backed off. I don't want to make this crazy long. I just have to wrap up some plot points and deal with it.
