*Hector is sitting alone in the security room, while all of the Kitsune pups climb on top of him.*

Hector: *Sighs* This is my life now. Acting as a babysitter for a bunch of rowdy Kitsune.

*One of the pups takes and pulls off his head, but fortunately, he can survive his head being pulled off.*

Hector: Well, now I think I know how Reigner feels. I wonder how Marie and the others are doing?


"Alright, looks like it's Blake's turn to read." Raven said.

"Yep, I'm guessing the Vytal Festival dance is coming up?" Neptune asked.

"Bingo." Tronmaster said, as Blake began to read.

[Ruby's P.O.V.]

"Guess it's back to Ruby's point of view." Winter said.

"Yay, back to viewpoints!" Nora said.

"Gwaaha!" Cinder cried out as she was launched out of the student forge, pinned to the wall face first by 1,000 needles, I know the exact amount as I had counted when I was attacked.

This proceeded to get a laugh out of the readers at seeing Cinder in such a state.

"Oh man, that's pure gold." Yang said.

"Frankly, she deserves something more painful." Alicia growled.

Moment's later two whistle blasts went off as the Beacon Cactuar ran out of the student forge and ran past me fast enough to blow up my combat skirt, only slightly though.

"Yeah, considering some of you are teenagers, that wouldn't be right." Tronmaster said.

"Plus, Alicia would filet you with Wilt and Blush?" Jaune asked.

"Not really." Tronmaster replied, "But have you ever seen a tasteful upskirt shot?" He added, Jaune nodded 'no,' "Then there's your answer."

"You okay?" I asked Cinder, I know Alexander told me to be cautious around her, but I still gotta play dumb here.

"Clever strategy, my darling little reaper." Weiss said, planting a kiss on Ruby's lips.

"Heh, thanks snow cone." Ruby said, giving Weiss a kiss back.

"Ugh, you two are so disgustingly adorable." Yang teased.

"I'm going to turn that thing into paste." Cinder growled.

"Yeah, that's easier said than done." Tronmaster grumbled.

"Good luck catching it." I said, "The little trolls evaded every single teacher and student at Beacon."

"I'll remember that." Cinder grumbled as she pulled herself off the wall and walked off.

"That's too funny of a sight not to laugh at." Penny said.

"Seriously, the bitch does deserve worse." Alicia said.

"Preach." Tronmaster added.

I shrugged and went into the student forge and set down everything I had.

"It's time for our weapon upgrades." Blake said.

Ember Celica, Myrtenaster, Gambol Shroud, and three different copies of Combat King.

"Time to get to work~" I said picking up some tools.

"Why the three different copies of Combat King?" Jaune asked.

"Well, considering that the members of our team utilize different fighting styles, having upgrades to suit those styles is beneficial." Weiss said.

"Huh, makes sense." Neptune said.

[Yang's P.O.V.]

"And we're switching to Yang." Qrow said.

"I wonder how long Ruby's gonna take with those upgrades?" Weiss muttered to herself as she opened up a pack of Triple Triad cards.

"It depends, honestly." Ruby said.

"I bet it's gonna be worth it in the end." Yang said.

"Who knows." I said as I feed some Gyshal Greens to Boco, who was now the size of a Cardinal, but was still too fluffy looking it's hard not to hug him, "Ruby can be really fast with weapon's or really slow."

"My guess, it's gonna be fast." Sun said.

"I wonder how Ruby's upgrading our weapons." Blake mused.

Right as she said that the door was kicked open, "DONE!" Ruby cheered as she held our weapons in her arms.

"Called it." Sun said.

"Looks like it was fast." I said as Boco leapt off my bed, landing perfectly fine, and pattered over to Ruby and hopped up the little steps she made on the side of the table so he could stay as close to Ruby as he could while she carefully placed the weapons on the table.

"I swear, Boco gets cuter and cuter." Weiss said, as said Chocobo chick peeped in response.

"I don't know how well Zwei will react to Boco's presence." Tai said.

"Here you go Yang." Ruby said handing me Ember Celica, which now had banded leather that covered part of my fingers with metal nubs on it.

Suddenly, the upgraded Crescent Rose and Ember Celica landed in the laps of their respective owners. Or in the case of Crescent Rose, on Weiss's lap.

"Huh, neat." Yang said.

"Weiss, here you go." Ruby handing over Myrtenaster, which now had a flatter, thinner, slightly longer blade that had a slightly widened base.

Just like with Crescent Rose and Ember Celica, the upgraded Myrtenaster dropped in Weiss's lap.

"Amazing." Weiss said, as Ruby pecked her cheek.

"And here's yours Blake." Ruby said handing over Gambol Shroud to it's owner, the sheathe looked exactly the same, but the katana part of it looked much sleeker, it didn't have the hook at the tip of the blade, rather it curved back.

And finally, the upgraded Gambol Shroud dropped into Blake's lap.

"Huh, neat." Blake said, returning to read.

I grabbed a Weapon's Monthly and checked out the pages until I found the modification Ruby made to my weapon.

"Time to see what exactly Ruby did to my two babies." Yang said.

'Maverick model'

'The Maverick model is a much older weapon design, but still very effective. Made mostly using black leather to hide metal plates under the knuckles, this weapon model has been shown to not only hurt more with a well placed punch, but it also seems to cushion the wearer's fists resulting in more output with less backfire for heavier punches. And allows the user to punch projectiles safely if they're feeling ballsy enough'

"Hell yeah!" Yang said, equipping her upgraded Ember Celica.

"Nice." I said putting my new weapons on, they fit like a glove, heh, and I didn't even notice there were metal plates in them.

"Seems legit." Yang said.

"We can let you use the holodeck at the next break." Alicia said.

[Weiss's P.O.V.]

"Time to see what Ruby did to upgrade Myrtenaster." Weiss said, looking at her rapier.

I grabbed a Weapon's Monthly issue myself to learn what Ruby did to my weapon.

'Joyeuse model'

"Joyeuse?" Weiss asked.

"The hell if I know." Tronmaster said.

'Beneficial to any rapier type weapon, as well as Dust users'

'This rapier model's name translates to 'Joyful', which fits at it's penetrating power is capable of piercing a Deathstalkers shell and even manages to stabilize Dust usage, guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the wielder. As for the opponent... well it's silent on that matter.'

"Wow, that's, actually pretty cool." Weiss said.

"Considering that Myrtenaster can now pierce a Deathstalker's shell, yeah it is." Winter said.

Well the article was right about one thing, this did put a joyful smile on my face, wonder what my father was thinking not making Myrtenaster with a blade like this in the first place.

"Well think about it, your old man probably doesn't put much faith in your training as a Huntress." Tronmaster said, "Hence, why he didn't make Myrtenaster like it is now."

"Asshole." Weiss grumbled.

[Blake's P.O.V.]

"Time to see what exactly was added to my weapon." Blake said.

I wondered why Ruby only upgraded the katana of Gambol Shroud, so I grabbed the Weapon's Monthly that was next to my weapon and read the dog eared article.

"Here we go." Glynda said.

"I'm actually quite curious." Pyrrha said.

'Osafune'

'Any Katana type weapon is compatible with this.'

'A Katana said to have originally been forged with the finest iron sands around, this may not be the greatest Katana model to exist, but it is still considered a threatening weapon as it has been known to cut through iron as if it were cay if forged correctly. It actually works surprisingly well in Mechashift weapons of many types.'

"Nice." Qrow said.

Looking at the katana of Gambol Shroud, I began to wonder what else I could do to upgrade this weapon...

But right now I need to focus on figuring out what the White Fang are up to.

"And now we're getting into me being a massive jackass." Blake said.

"It's okay Blake, it's all water under the bridge." Yang said.

[The next day, Summer's class.]

[No P.O.V.]

"I forgot, Summer's taking over for me." Glynda said.

"It's an easy thing to forget." Nora said.

"Okay Pyrrha, that's enough." Summer said teleporting in front of Pyrrha and holding her on the shoulder, "I think Team CRDL have been thoroughly trounced now."

"Oh yeah, I remember this day." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah, you kicked their asses." Jaune said.

Pyrrha had just taken on the entirety of Team CRDL during Summer's Combat class, without taking a single hit herself.

"It's because you've been discretely using your Semblance." Alicia said.

"Yeah, it's so subtle that no one notices." Pyrrha said.

"Now then, anyone here know what Team CRDL did wrong?" Summer asked the students.

"Being a bunch of jackasses?" Weiss asked jokingly.

"Seriously, Cardin pulled a Caboose." Tronmaster said, "In other words, team-killing."

Ruby raised her hand, "Cardin knocked out his own teammate." Ruby said.

"Yes that is one thing." Summer said, "They lacked any sense of Teamwork."

"Among other things..." Ren said.

"That's an understatement." Minotaur said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, those dickwads don't have any coordination." Nora said.

"As such I do have, and will enforce, the authority to put Team CRDL under mandatory Training sessions." Summer announced, causing many students to look confused, they had never heard of this before, "Now I know many of you don't actually know about this, this is because Professor Goodwitch didn't believe this to be absolutely necessary, so I will explain. In a Mandatory Training Session the team required must show up at the training hall everyday, with a volunteer team of a higher year, and practice whatever it is that the team required to train until further notice. Now should the volunteer team not be able to make it the team is then stuck with a member of the faculty until said team is available."

"It's true, I never considered it to be necessary." Glynda said.

"Although regarding team asshats, I meant team CRDL, it's certainly necessary." Tronmaster said.

"Man, it's gotta suck to be placed in one of those sessions." Jaune whispered to Siren.

"Desperate times need desperate measures." Siren replied.

"If I'm correct, wasn't team CFVY on a mission at the time?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yep." Alicia said.

"Now unfortunately there is only one team signed up to tutor students during these sessions." Summer said, "And that team is currently out on a mission that has been unfortunately extended due to increasing numbers of Grimm. As such Team CRDL will have until Team CFVY returns to practice their teamwork themselves and possibly get out of the training session early."

"From what I heard from Velvet, there were a bunch of ancient Beowolves." Blake said.

"And a few Ursai if I remember what Coco said." Pyrrha added.

"Wait... isn't Velvet FVY?" Diablos asked Alexander.

"Yes she is." Alexander said, a grin would have been on his face if he had one.

"Oh that's gonna be beautiful." Diablos said rubbing his hands together.

"Oh shit." Shiva said.

"What's wrong?" Weiss asked.

"Whenever those two decide to start pranking people, it's best to find the nearest fallout shelter." Quezacotl clarified.

"Now then." Summer said, "Normally I'd say we'd have time for one last fight, under a time limit as it's close to the end of class, however due to the fact that I am forced to put Team CRDL under Mandatory Training session, and had to explain such, the only way we'd have time is if one of you were to spar with me, and I don't think anyone would want that."

"Take it from us three, it's hell sparring with Summer." Raven said, motioning to herself, Qrow and Tai.

"Oh c'mon Rae, I'm not THAT bad." Summer said.

"During our third year at Beacon, you recommended that we should have a 'team bonding exercise,' and you ended up sending Raven into the middle of the atmosphere!" Tai retorted.

"Like mother like daughter." Tronmaster chuckled.

There was a wave of agreement throughout the crowd.

Save for Cinder, who was sitting next to Emerald and Mercury, she had a slight scowl on her face due to the fact that a bunch of imbeciles screwed up her chance to collect information on possible threats.

"That, and having a thousand needles being lodged into your body." Tronmaster said.

"Yeah, that looked uncomfortable." Ruby added, wincing.

Suddenly a gunshot went off, and a bullet hole appeared right next to Blake's head, who was startled into paying attention.

"Jesus Grandma Summer. I knew you were unpredictable, but that's going a bit too far." Alicia said.

"There's no such thing as too far with me, my darling granddaughter." Summer said.

"Miss Belladonna." Summer said as she lowered her arm, which was single handedly holding her weapon in rifle form, "I've noticed you haven't been paying too much attention in my class today, now I understand your... unease with the rather recent NG attack on Beacon, but I must ask you to please pay attention, as you will be the first one to fight... the day after you get back from your first mission."

"Y-yes Ma'am." Blake said, now nervous.

If there was anything about Summer that Blake had learned from Ruby, Yang, Ifrit, and Alexander, it's that Summer is more unpredictable than Ruby.

"Understatement of the century there." Qrow said.

[Ruby's P.O.V.]

"Alright, back to my perspective, I guess." Ruby said.

"Yep, seems like it." Sun said.

"You want me to what!?" Blake demanded as we sat in our dorm, after we had explained to Blake that we want her to attend the dance.

"Oh shit." Blake said.

"We want you to go to the dance." I said.

"That's ridiculous." Blake said.

"No, what's ridiculous is me being a gigantic ass." Blake said.

"Hey, you said it, not me." Diablos said.

"Oh please, you can dance Blake." Diablos said, "I mean you were practicing before we went to fight the White Fang."

"I feel like their threat to Remnant kinda dies in comparison to the NG though." Shiva said.

"Yeah, considering that Musaline is strong enough to rip Tyrian's tail off, I think Salem is small potatoes in some areas." Tai said.

"Blake we're worried about you, this investigation is starting to mess with your head." Yang said.

"'Messing with' is kind of an understatement." Yang said.

"Sorry about acting like a bitch to you guys." Blake said.

"Don't worry about it Blake." Yang said.

"You can't sleep, you hardly eat, and to be honest your grades have been suffering." Weiss said.

"So that explains why you've been slacking in your studies, Miss Belladonna." Glynda said, looking at Blake.

Blake proceeded to shrink in her seat, before continuing to read.

"You think I care about grades people's lives are at stake." Blake argued.

"Talk about your piss-poor arguments." Tronmaster said, "Granted, you DO have somewhat of a point, but that point shouldn't have to come at the cost of your physical and mental health."

"If you wanna be able to have the skills to actually stop them yes." Alexander said, "Otherwise you're gonna be stuck at this leval constantly training against people weaker than you and you won't grow any stronger."

"And we're all still trying to figure out what Torchwick is up to." Yang said, stressing the word 'all'.

"At least Torchwick's currently locked up on General Ironwood's ship." Winter said.

"Unless we can't stop Cinder from deploying her virus." Penny said.

"Thanks to you and Sun we know they're operating somewhere on the southeast side of Vale." I said, wonder where all that could be, it's a pretty big generalization.

"We know that Torchwick and the White Fang were operating under Mountain Glenn." Weiss said.

"And what about Doctor Merlot?" Glynda asked.

"Currently, he doesn't seem like a threat." Alicia said.

"And the Schnee company records singled out Vale as the primary target for Dust robberies over the last few months." Weiss added.

"Not like my father gives a damn." Weiss growled.

"Don't forget about their missing military tech too." Yang said.

"Yeah, the shitty-ass Paladins." Alicia said.

"I'm sure that a single Faceless coud tear that thing to scrap metal." Tronmaster added.

"But there are still unanswered questions." Blake argued.

"Blake you won't be able to find anything if you can't keep your eyes open." I said, "And it's not like an Esuna spell can wake up people that have fallen asleep of their own will... Or their bodies will."

"It also doesn't help for staying awake for a full gaming bender." Tronmaster said.

"That must've been hell." Yang said.

"You, you have no goddamned idea." Tronmaster said.

"All we're asking is that you take it easy for one day." Yang said.

"And I was too stubborn to take your advice initially." Blake said.

"And in an actual combat scenario, your current condition would not only get you killed, but your teammates as well." Alicia said.

"It'll be fun, Yang and I will make sure of it." Weiss said.

"Yeah we're planning the whole event." Yang said.

"Wait, you and Yang planned the Vytal Festival Dance?" Winter asked Weiss.

"Yeah, and it turned out rather well." Weiss replied.

"I'm glad." Winter said, Weiss beaming at the praise.

"Excuse me?" Blake asked.

"Like Summer said, Team CFVY has been away longer than expected." Weiss said.

"So Weiss and I are going to pick up where they left off, and now we can make sure you have the perfect night." Yang said.

"And once it's all over we'll return to our search, rested and ready." Weiss said.

"Yeah, if I took your advice from the start, I wouldn't have snapped at Yang." Blake said, continuing to read.

"So what do you think?" I asked.

"I think this is a colossal waste of time." Blake said getting up, "I'll be in the library."

"This was easily the most strenuous day of my life." Blake said.

"Especially considering the pep-talk I gave you." Yang said, as Blake continuing to read.

"There's got to be something we can do to help her..." I sighed.

'I have a felling like Alexander might suggest something." Penny said.

"It's possible he might." Copper Giant added.

"Maybe Yang and Ifrit could help." Alexander said, looking at the two.

"Penny called it." Summer said.

Yang and Ifrit look to each other, "Are you thinking about... the day I met this badass?" Yang asked.

"Hah, see that!" Ifrit shouted to Shiva, "I'm badass!"

"Well you are bad, and you are an ass." Shiva said.

"Damn, gonna need a Senzu bean for that one." Alicia mumbled.

"SENZU BEAN!" Shouted a voice, as a small bean flew from the vent, and into Ifrit's face.

"Oh will you two cut it out." Alexander deadpanned.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go find Blake." Yang said, "I think that story should get her to calm herself."

With that Yang left the room, leaving the door open.

"Were you raised in a barn Aunt Yang?" Alicia asked jokingly.

"Hahaha. Smartass." Yang grumbled.

"Oh great, now how am I going to set up the dance?" Weiss groaned, "At least Yang left our plans."

"Yeah, you would've been boned if Yang took your plans with her." Sun said.

At that moment Jaune peeked into the room, "Weiss did you say you needed help setting up the dance?" Jaune asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Weiss asked, Siren may have gotten him off her, but she was still cautious in case he was trying to pull out a sudden date on her.

"Hey, it's better than getting your heart broken when trying to ask out your crush to the dance." Qrow said.

"Damn, gonna need a Blizzaga for that burn." Tronmaster mumbled with a snort.

"Well, I've been helping my sisters set up family gatherings for years now." Jaune said, "Plus, well, Nora."

Weiss nodded her head, she did need muscle to move the speakers, and Jaune should have experience, "Fine, but can you bring Pyrrha and Ren along?" Weiss asked, "Pyrrha's polarity should help with some things, and Ren's the only person that can control Nora."

"That's not an inaccurate statement." Nora said.

"Fair enough." Jaune said, "I'll go get them."

And just like that, I was left alone in the room.

"Who am I going to ask to the dance?" I muttered sitting back in my bunk as I put Boco on his tiny bed next to my pillow.

"Boco is still so adorable." Summer said as Boco chirped.

"Yeah, no kidding." Weiss said.

[Cinder's Room]

[No P.O.V.]

"Ugh, we're with Cinder this time?" Ruby groaned.

"Unfortunately." Tronmaster said.

"I am going to roast that stupid little cactus even if it's with my dying breath..." Cinder growled as she grit her teeth, while a disguised Neo was carefully pulling needles out of her back.

"Yeah, good luck with that, bitch." Yang said.

Neo held up her scroll in front of Cinder.

"Time to see some of Neo's thoughts." Jaune said.

-If people waiting around the corner was enough to catch the thing don't you think they would have caught it by now? Now hold still, only 997 more eedles to go.-

"Yeah, if my other couldn't catch it, I'm sure that Cinder couldn't incinerate it." Glynda said.

Cinder simply growled in anger as Neo pulled out another needle, Mercury taking it from her, "I wonder how these things just passed through her Aura..." He muttered.

"Simple: it's magic, and they don't got to explain shit." Tronmaster said.

"I hate magic sometimes." Alicia mumbled.

"Who knows... Neo don't you have to be with Torchwick as he moves his operation to Mountain Glenn?" Emerald asked.

"Yeah, Neo probably used her Semblance to get on the train." Weiss said.

"That explains how she got away..." Raven mumbled.

"By the way Raven, something's been bugging me about Neo." Tronmaster said, "Neo seems like she knows you, what's the deal?"

"It's possible that Neo was a member of the tribe, but was exiled for one reason or another." Rave said, "It's honestly hard to remember."

Neo plucked out another needle as she turned to her scroll.

-Take over Emerald, I need to get going.-

"I seriously hate Neo." Yang growled.

[Back with Ruby]

[Ruby's P.O.V.]

"Back to Ruby again." Raven said.

"I wonder why though..." Ren said.

"Blake... or Weiss..." I muttered looking between the image of my two teammates on my copy of our first year team picture.

Gah, why do I have to have a crush on half of my team!? This makes things so difficult!

"Do you Ruby?" Weiss said.

"Eh, just you." Ruby said.

"Multiverse theory is confusing." Penny said.

"I must admit, this is a quandary I never expected to see." Alexander chuckled.

"Thanks for having my back Alexander." Ruby grumbled.

"What? This is unexpectedly hilarious." Alexander said.

"Shut up." I said blushing, so what if I have a crush on two of my teammates, I'm pretty sure Dad had the same thing going, and that worked out... sorta. I mean he did marry both Raven and Mom... even if Raven had left us.

"Damn, make me feel like more of an ass why don't ya?" Raven grumbled.

"To be fair, you DO deserve it." Qrow retorted.

And at that moment I really wish I had been paying attention because I didn't hear the door open.

"And I thought I had bad situational awareness." Jaune muttered.

"Blake, Weiss, Blake, Weiss, BlakeWeiss ARRGH! I can't decide who to ask out!" I cried out.

"Heh, teenagers." Alicia chuckled.

"No kidding." Tronmaster said.

"Whoa wait, what!?" Yang asked.

"Eep!" I squeaked jumping and turning to Yang, "Yangwhendidyougetinhere!?"

"Was Mom ever like that?" Ruby asked.

"On more than one occasion." Raven said, chuckling.

"Like, two seconds ago." Yang said shutting the door and I also noticed she was carrying Blake, who was passed out, "I've managed to convince Blake to go to the dance... and I may or may not have cast a Sleep Spell on her on the way here."

"Really Yang?" Weiss asked.

My expression deadpanned, "Really Yang?" I asked.

"She'll be fine." Yang said putting Blake on her bed, "She'll wake up in time to get a dress. So-" Yang then turned to me, "You can't decide who to ask to the dance among your teammates? I thought you'd just come by yourself."

"Which is what I ended up doing." Ruby said.

"Hey, if it makes you feel better, I never went to any of my school dances." Tronmaster said.

"Well I wanted to at first but... I bega to realize that among everyone at Beacon the only people I like more than uoi or Dad or Uncle Qrow or Mom is BlakeandWeissandI'vebeguntorealizemylikingofthemisactuallyturnedintoacrushonbothofthemandIcan'tdecidewhotoaskouttothedance." I said getting faster with each word I said before taking a deep breath.

"Jeez, and I thought the Flash talked too fast." Alicia said.

"So you got a crush on the same girls I do." Yang said smirking.

"Yeah I-wait what?" I asked.

"Oh... I just said that out loud didn't I?" Yang grumbled.

"Yep." I said popping the 'P'.

"Smooth, Yang. Real smooth." Tronmaster said, chuckling.

"Sh-shut up." Yang said, blushing.

"Well crap." Yang said, "Well, you may as well ask Weiss out, Blake already asked me and I can't ask out two people officially to the dance."

"That'd be interesting if you could." Tai said.

"Speaking from experience?" Neptune asked.

"Nope." Tai said.

"Yang... what did you mean when you said I had a crush on the same two people you did?" I demanded.

Yang sighed and slumped over, "I admit it, I've got a crush on Blake and Weiss as well." Yang said sadly.

"Fun fact, this is one of the MANY ships that the fandom has called 'Pollination.'" Tronmaster said.

"Pollination?" Weiss asked.

"And ships?" Pyrrha added.

"When I say 'ships,' he's referring to the pairings of two of more characters in a specific franchise." Ruby clarified.

"Yep." Alicia said, "For example mom, you and Aunt Weiss are 'White Rose,' Aunt Yang and Aunt Blake is 'Bumblebee,' Jaune and Pyrrha is 'Arkos,' Aunt Blake and Sun are 'Black Sun,' you get the idea."

"So, pollination is me, Weiss, Blake... and Ruby?" Yang asked being disturbed at the last part.

"Yes, but with this, you get the full ship, but without the incest." Tronmaster said.

"Oh thank Oum." Said Ruby, Yang, and all of team STRQ.

"This is going to be awkward to talk about..." I said.

"Fun fact, I helped Phoenix Champion with this particular dilemma." Tronmaster said, "He couldn't decide between this, again, minus the incest, or by pairing Ruby and Blake, which is 'Ladybug,' and Weiss and Yang, or 'Freezerburn.'"

"Huh, neat." Jaune said.

"Why don't we get you a dress Weiss will approve of." Yang said grabbing me by the arm, "And heels."

"Wait, Yang! I don't want heels! Can't I get a dress without heels!?" I cried out as I was pulled out of the room.

"Ugh, stupid lady stilts." Ruby, Summer and Alicia said in tandem.

"Huh, guess some roses grow in thee same bushes." Raven said.

[Blake's P.O.V.]

"Guess it's back to me." Blake said, continuing to read.

What Yang didn't know, was that Ruby's shout that she couldn't decide on who to ask out did wake me up.

"Sorry Blake." Ruby said sheepishly.

"It's alright Ruby." Blake said.

I just didn't want to move because it felt good to be carried by Yang like she had.

Blake's face became as red as a tomato after reading that.

And good thing too, it turns out that two thirds of the people I had a crush on here shared feeling for me... Now how to figure out if Weiss likes me as well.

"That's definitely a legitimate inquiry." Winter said.

Blake continued to blush profusely as she continued to read.

I got up out of my bed, feeling rather well rested for only having just half an hour of sleep... I get some more later once my heart calms down.

"Again, not a bad inquiry." Qrow said.

It was then I noticed a magazine corner sticking out from under Yang's pillow.

"Yang Xiao Long..." Summer growled.

Yang, for her part proceeded to chuckle nervously.

Curious I decided to pull it out took a look at the cover, which was bright pink and had only an image of a girl covering herself with nothing but her arms and her legs.

"Yang..." Tai growled as well.

"Well, this is getting interesting." Alicia said.

'The Girl Next Door'

"I wonder what kind of Magazine this is..." I muttered opening up the magazine.

It took less than a second for blood to dribble down my nose.

"YANG!" Tai and Summer shouted in unison.

"Someone's in trouble..." Nora said.

[Weiss's P.O.V.]

"And back to Weiss." Ren said.

"Oh thank Oum." Yang said, breathing a sigh of relief.

I stood by the airfield, next to Ruby and Yang.

Not two minutes before Ruby burst into the dance hall and asked me if I would be her date to the dance.

I hesitated for a moment, I wondered if I should accept Ruby's proposition, or if I should wait for Yang or Blake to ask me instead.

"Typical teenage dilemmas." Tronmaster said, chuckling.

I can't believe I've fallen for three different people in less than a year of being here, two sisters and a Faunus of all things...

"Not that Father would agree." Weiss growled.

"Well, form what I've heard about your father, he can get my boot shoved squarely up his ass." Summer said.

Yang said she was already taking Blake to the Dance so that confirmed my answer, and I accepted Ruby's proposition.

And now I was waiting for the next airship to arrive so I could buy Ruby a dress.

"And it was quite the stunning dress." Weiss said.

"Heh, thanks Snow Angel." Ruby said, blushing.

As much as I'd like to have ordered for her it would take too long to get here, and with Coco gone I can't ask her to make one for Ruby.

Now how to figure out if Yang and Blake share my feelings for them... but how?

"Easy, by waiting things out." Qrow said.

"Smartass." Blake mumbled, passing the book to Yang.

"Well, before Yang starts reading, I think we need to have a talk with her..." Summer said, her and Tai dragging Yang to another room.

"Here Yang, you'll need this." Ifrit said, tossing the Senzu bean at Yang, who caught it.

"Thanks buddy." Yang said.


*Hector's head is floating above the Kitsune pups, while they play with his body.*

Hector: *sighs* This day is just getting better and better.

*A crash is heard from somewhere in the room.*

Hector: Ah, crapbaskets.
