Yo Peeps, GMG with chapter 21. Watched the character short today... SO MUCH HYPE. And their outfits... Ermerhgerd their pretty. Can't say much about Yang's, given hers is more casual due to her casualty... Loving Blake's and Weiss' especially. Ruby's is nice and now she's super ninja like and it's super cool. THAT SAID! Not changing much for this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY...
The door slammed shut with a resolute bang. Behind Weiss, Yang was snickering like mad. The heiress growled when another knock sounded from the door. "I promise not to sing anymore!"
Rolling her eyes at the pathetic boy's muffled voice, she opened the door to reveal Jaune, guitar still in hand. He grinned at her and strummed loudly. "I LIED!"
Jabbing her finger against his forehead, Weiss pushed him back, standing up on her tip toes to glare at him. "Do not continue." She jabbed him again. "I am already in a committed relationship and you attempts to pursue me not only offend me, but my girlfriend." She growled. "Now, leave me be."
Chuckling nervously, he nodded. Weiss was scary. Pulling at his collar, he swallowed. "So, who's the lucky girl?"
A laugh caused him to look over to where Yang was, waving. The blonde snickered. "What's up?"
He looked over to Ruby, but another growl stopped him. He looked over at Blake, whose eyes were narrowed dangerously. "Don't even think about it."
"Okay..." Jaune took a step back. "I'mma leave now..." He turned and the door shut behind him.
Why was nothing every easy for him?

Days later...
The night of the dance was upon Beacon and everyone had plans. Plans to chill with friends, plans to get down, plans to dance the night away... plans to take over Remnant. The latter to be handled later, the scene pans to the ball room.
Stood behind a podium, Yang was greeting people as they arrived, Weiss flitting around and handling any small issues. Doilies lay on every table and a light fog crawled over the floor, proof the two could compromise. Grinning at the memory and the heated encounter that followed that night, she hummed happily, greeting everyone on a similarly happy note. A smiling Yang in a dress was a lot less intimidating, many who knew her had decided.
A loud noise caused her to jump as the doors slammed open. In walked the large form of Yatsuhashi, looking out of place in a suit. He smiled apologetically, while waiting for his team to enter.
Fox had his hands stuffed in his pockets and slinked past Yang, mumbling a quick greeting before moving onwards. Following in his wake, Coco and Velvet walked in, arms linked. Coco smiled, nary a care for any stares directed their way, while Velvet's pink cheeks and her sudden interest in the floor made it obvious her timidity.
"Heya girls!" Yang greeted before glancing at Yatsuhashi who made sure he closed the door gently. "And guy." She hummed again. "I thought you four had a mission?"
Void of her normal beret and wearing a bare minimum of jewelry with her cream colored dress, Coco looked at Yang over the rim's of her glasses, not shades. "We did. It was rather taxing, but we got back last night and got some rest on the way back. Thought we'd see how you and Ice Queen handled planning." Glancing around, she nodded, pleased. "Pretty good, Blondie."
Yang gestured to the shy girl in her maroon dress, who was still on Coco's arm. "You and Velvet?"
Coco cocked a brow. "Problem?" This caused Velvet to look up and glance between them.
Her accented voice was soft. "Coco, you know Yang isn't like that. She's a friend."
Waving her off, Yang smirked. "Besides, my sister has an interesting catch all her own." The door opened and she looked over. "Speak of the devil."
Velvet turned her head to look and smiled. "Blake."
The cat Faunus nodded. "Velvet. I see we both have someone with us." Beside her, Ruby grinned and waved cheerfully.
"Cute couple," Coco quipped. "Shall we go and dance, Vel?"
Velvet nodded. "That sounds lovely."
As the two left, Ruby and Blake walked over. "Hey Sis! How's it going?"
Yang laughed. "Pretty well. Weiss is still fussing over stuff, but everyone's been having fun from what I've seen." Leaning over the podium, she stage whispered, "Cardin and company all got booted for harassing a faunus couple."
Blake's face twisted as if she ate something bitter. "They deserve being kicked. I hate his ignorant behavior and his team is no better."
Waving them past her, she glanced at the list before sighing. "Screw it." If Glynda got pissed, so be it. Walking back to the dance floor, she spotted Weiss, getting a drink. Trodding over, she looped her arm around the girl's slim waist and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Sup, Weissicle?"
"Not much, aside from almost having a heart attack." Weiss glared at Yang who smiled, not at all phased by the heated stare. "Shouldn't you be greeting people?"
Yang shrugged. "I am greeting. My girlfriend, so that I can introduce her to the dance floor."
One prim eyebrow rose. "Is that some attempt to ask me to dance?"
The brawler feigned ignorance. "I don't know. Is it?"
"Fine, you dolt." Grabbing Yang's hand, she let herself be pulled onto the dance floor, her white dress swishing about as she was pulled along. Soon Yang pulled to a stop, her own white dress tinging slightly purple from a few blacklights above the dance floor.
Off to the side, Ruby and Blake were talking with Sun and Neptune, Blake guffawing at something Sun had said and Ruby snorting in amusement at Blake's reaction. Sun pat her on the back before excusing himself and Neptune. When the left, Blake took a moment to compose herself before glancing at Ruby. "Shall we?"
Ruby nodded. "We shall." She blushed when Blake's hands hooked around her waist, shyly placing hers behind the other girls neck. She squeaked when the older teen pulled her close before leaning her head against Blake's collar and humming.
The swayed to the beat and just enjoyed the close feeling of the other. As they drifted around, Blake spoke. "This is nice."
"Yes, it is," Ruby agreed.
A sudden burst of laughter from the biggest cluster of students had them look over, laughing at the sight of a dress-clad Jaune asked for a dance from Pyrrha, who was giggling like mad at his appearance. "Aren't they cute," Blake deadpanned.
Ruby laughed. "It is kind of cute." Pulling back, she separated from Blake. "I'm gonna get some air real quick. The music is getting a tad much."
"I know the feeling." Glancing around, she nodded. "I'll go hang out with Yang and Weiss for the moment. See you in a few."
Making her way out of the hall, Ruby sighed in relief when the cool evening air played over her arms. Looking around, she smiled at the calm night. After a few moments, the smile disappeared suddenly.
Movement. A shadow leaping from one roof top to another. Muttering under her breathe about missing time with Blake, she gave chase.

Cinder's hips swayed as she strutted out of the elevator, typing in the conveniently acquired wifi password and slotting her scroll into the port of the central computer. Whistling a tune to herself while she waited for the program to load, she jumped slightly when the elevator doors opened again, causing her to duck down.
She listened at the self assured steps of the individual, the light padding making her realize her new acquaintance was probably female. A few furtive glances confirmed it as she saw Ruby moving around the room before she called out for anyone. So naive, Cinder thought. Flanking the girl, she closed in, lining her glass dagger in her own aura, the intense heat able to carve through the aura of others.
Ruby's eyes went wide as she was stabbed. Her aura gave way with a screech and she looked down, a dagger poking through her midsection. Behind her, Cinder was grinning triumphantly. So this was the girl that had pestered Roman, what a sad, pathetic girl.
Oh, how wrong she was.
Stepping forward, Ruby spun, bringing Crescent Rose upon her attacker, Cinder's reflexes being the only reason she managed to block the attack. Throwing up her mask, she quickly parried the assault of strikes the other girl provided, spinning to and fro, as if possessed.
Cinder had to retreat from the veritable hurricane that was Ruby Rose and her beloved 'sweetheart' as they danced their same deadly dance. The grace and skillful poise of the girl gave the criminal pause. If this girl could survive such a potent stab unscathed and move at this speed, it would do no good to engage her here. It would take careful planning to end this nuisance.
But she could now understand where Roman was coming from. Blitzing past the girl, she grabbed and dived into the stairwell.
Ruby zipped after her, but as she opened the stairwell, she cursed. Not a trace of the intruder anywhere.

Blake turned, eyes widening when she saw the person whom just prodded her shoulder. Amber eyes gazed upon the familiar spectacle of Ozpin. "Hello, Miss Belladonna. If you have a moment?"
"Oh, um, sure," she replied. "What can I help you with, Sir?"
The older man smiled warmly. "Nothing much. Ruby is being guided to my office at the moment and given your relationship with her, I thought you'd like to be present."
"Did something happen to her?" Blake asked, concerned for her girlfriend's wellbeing.
Another smile answered. "If she were harmed, it would be the infirmary that would be our destination." He patted her on the shoulder. "No, it's just a small security breach she attempted to handle."
Sighing her relief, she looked at Ozpin. "Lead the way, then."
End...
Another chapter down. I may or may not draw Coco and her appearance. It's an interesting idea and she is one of my favorite characters. If I do, I'll post a link in my description later on and bring it up in the next chapter. If you are curious about my drawing ability, look no further than my profile picture. More proof can be found of deviantart under the same username or you can PM me.
Remember to vote on the poll, if you have yet to. The amount of votes already is really good and it's still fairly close. I've had a few votes via review, so that way is possible too.
Adieu for now!
