Only a few more chapters until we hit the finale!

Thanks for all your support!

"Huh?" Jaune asked, his expression hidden in the sudden dark. The lights had cut out, and everyone was starting to get a little concerned. It was pitch black; nobody could see more than a few feet in front of them. It would take a few minutes before everybody's vision would adjust.

Weiss was a bit uneasy; she stood outside with the girls for a few minutes before she actually made her move with Jaune. She knew that they were planning something, but she didn't know what. She didn't stick around to find out. Weiss knew that it would probably be an outlandish plan, as that was Ruby's style.

There's no way that Ruby would cut the power to this place...right? She thought uneasily as she rested her hand on Myrtenaster's hilt.

And besides, in order to take Jaune away, they would need someone who has perfect night-vision and be a master of stealth...crap. She immediately whipped around and checked for Jaune, "Jaune? You there?"

A few moments of silence was her only answer.

Weiss was teeming with rage.

Both Yang and Pyrrha had no problem carrying the Arc boy at a speedy jog. Squirm and wriggle as he might, he wasn't strong enough to break free of both the spartan's and brawler's grip. To the side of them, Blake followed them at what she would consider a 'leisurely pace'. Her own speed allowed her to barely break a sweat.

"H-hey! Put me down!" Jaune struggled some more, which was really starting to get on both carrier's nerves.

"Jaune, you may be cute, but you're really pushing it. So, if you still wanna be in one piece after all this, I suggest that you calm down and just enjoy the ride. After all, it's a once in a life-time chance to be carried by two gorgeous girls." Yang said with a hint of seduction. She winked at him, and he felt his face heat up.

The two of them had already contacted Ruby. The mission was a success, and they were now headed towards the roof. The roof was Ruby's idea. It was the only place that wasn't occupied over the weekend and holidays. Days such as today, for example. Valentine's day was considered a holiday in Vale, and so most of the students and teachers had the day off to do whatever they wanted.

"Miss Rose? What are you doing on the roof?" Asked a nonchalant Professor Ozpin. He stood at the door, his cane in one hand, and the coffee mug that was always by his side occupied his other. He had his usual pine-colored suit and cross on his scarf. He brought the hot liquid to his lips once, looking at Ruby from behind his wired spectacles.

She jumped a little and stuttered, "O-oh! Professor Ozpin! I-I didn't expect to see you here!"

Ozpin remarked, "I could say the same about you, Miss Rose. Why you're out here on this roof is beyond me."

Ruby struggled to find an immediate answer, but said with strained truth, "It's...a lovely night! I wanted to admire the moon!"

Ozpin raised an eyebrow inquiringly and took another sip of his coffee. He highly doubted that was the reason, and that was cause enough for him to ask further questions: "Where is your team?"

"They're in town."

"Ah. Well, Miss Rose, since you are on campus right now, it would be a good time to mention that I need to speak with you and Mr. Arc for a team leader meeting, but seeing as he is not here, as is the rest of Team JNPR, I will have your company tonight. Cardin already had his talk today, since he was in detention."
Ruby was dumbstruck. Another chance with Jaune was snatched away from her.

Ozpin turned on his heel and started walking away, using his cane for a little bit of support. "Come along Miss Rose. We have things to discuss."

He threw one last glance over to where Yang and Pyrrha were supposed to be, and sighed softly. "Coming."

Sorry guys! I haven't forgotten about this story! I promise!

Thank you for all the support!

Much Love,
