Agony POV

It was another day of community service and the sun was beaming down on all four of us as we were sent to patrol and assist police and civilians in their everyday works and lives. Out of Ozpin's kind heart, he allowed us to only do community service for half of the day. Despite this blessing, we still can't ignore the searing heat.

"You know how workers used to sing songs to inspire themselves to work?" Napel said as she stood outside cleaning the walkway while I pick up the big trash.

Reid was on the road, assisting the ones who are attempting to cross it. Chrome however, was wiping one of the windows of a shop. She stared longingly inside it, feeling the faint cold air coming out of the edge of the windows "Oh how I'd love to be in there just for that wonderful air-conditioner"

"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, what song do you want?" I replied to Napel, giving her idea some attention.

"Can't think straight… Too heat…" Napel started off with some incomplete sentences as she took position under the shade of a tree that barely gave her cover.

Suddenly, Reid screams with a tune at my side as he gave the signal to the cars to stop and let the people pass. "Too HOT!~" he followed the tune of Uptown Funk by one of the new upstart singers, Quartz Coal with. Apparently, his son played some music for him during the video, I forgot the name of the son however. "HOT DAYM!" I followed to sing "Call the police and the fire man"

"Too HOT!" Reid again continued while Chrome, Napel and most civilians give us their attention as we suddenly sing. "HOT DAYM! Make a dragon want to retire man" Reid began dancing, amusing the pedestrians and drivers as he gave signals as he danced to the groove of the song. "Too HOT!" he rocked his body to the beat while Chrome and Napel began swaying as well to the beat. "Hot Daym!"

"Say my name you know who I am! I'm too hot!" he danced smoothly to the beat as we continued to sing. The crowd have brought out their scrolls and Chrome and Napel also began dancing and singing at our side. Finally we get to the chorus.

"Girls hit your hallelujah" "Whoo!" I sing as the girls and Reid followed "Girls hit your hallelujah" "Whoo!" "Girls hit your hallelujah" "Whoo!".

"Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you" We all began to shake our bodies as we prepare ourselves for our freestyle. "Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you. Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you"

"Saturday night and we in the spot" finally we stop and make a pose.

"Don't believe me just watch come on!" by this part, we've dance to the beat to the heart's content with Reid leading the dance. Many of the crowd seemed impressed despite Napel's reluctance to go all out and Chrome's incoordination. "Hey, hey, hey, oh!" finally we ended it and the crowd cheered loudly for us, screaming thanks and compliments.

"Wow! Reid, I-I never thought you could dance that good!" Chrome looked at him, impressed by his choreography and coordination "I wish I could do that…" she pouted at herself, disappointed at her own loss of coordination.

"You can still learn how to dance you know…" the two talked about it as the crowd slowly left us alone to our own business.

"And I'm astonished you can sing" Napel complimented me, her face tells me she was energized and that she had fun.

"I'm just so damn good" Reid boasted, puffing his chest high. I only laughed it off "Eh, I try to impress…" and after that small mob scene, we went away and finished our community service.

Again, due to the heat all my team members wanted was to go back to the dorms and chill as the air-condition did its work. I however, wanted some 'Me' time knowing how well that will be scarce for the following days. There was an ice cream parlor I barely got to try so I haven't tried most of its flavors. I entered and stood up on the line, letting the cold air of the air condition surround me.

I feel so much more relaxed and comfortable than standing outside even if I'm under a shed. The line starts moving slowly, allowing the customers to see how their ice cream is made and arranged. Finally, it's my turn to order "One Dark trio wafer cone please" I really love dark chocolate and most of the chocolates that aren't too sweet. Dark trio is made up of Dark chocolate, coffee crumble and rocky road ice cream all packed on a wafer cone. I watch them roll and toss the ball of ice cream around and put it firmly on top of the cone, flipping it upside down to show off its sturdiness. I gladly took it and took a sit in the parlor, looking outside as I sat alone, listening to my own music using my earphones.

I just watched the sunny view outside, relaxing before heading back to Beacon. Recently, things have been very eventful and energetic, too energetic for my taste. Lately, just as I predicted, I've been losing some 'Me' time all thanks to having a team and actually attending a school. It's almost as if something that made me have to do something is always just around the corner.

I rested my head to my right hand while I fed myself to my ice cream with my left. My eyes drifted to the corner of the open glass. I find myself quite amused, seeing the nice blend of hair color all clumped into one person. She's a short girl in a white jacket with a pink interior, brown pants, and gray boots with very high heels. Under her jacket is a black corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips. She also wears a multitude of necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck. I was amused by her hair which is a mix of brown and pink with some white blended with the pink. A confident smirk is splattered on her face. She was eating a Neapolitan ice cream. It was nothing special really, I just find it amusing on how well designed her hair is and how it matches her food. 'Did she plan this out or does she just love that ice cream so much?'

I finished eating my ice cream 'Wow, that sure as delicious… maybe I should by one and bring it back for the others…' I thought about it for a little while and just went for it 'Our refrigerator's about to run out of food anyways, considering how Reid gobbles up so much during the night and Napel's sweet tooth' I stood up back in the line again. Just like before, the service was fast and it was about to be my turn so I took out my wallet from my back-pocket to prepare the lien. 'Maybe a bucket would be enough, considering I'll be eating it and Ruby, Yang and Nora might become hostile if I keep it away from them…'

I was about to put my wallet back when I feel something hard and metallic hit my hand, surprising me and making me drop my wallet to the floor. "Oops" I turned and grabbed the wallet from the floor but I noticed something off about it 'Hey, my wallet isn't this soft, thick and warm…' I wondered only to notice a small hand on it. I traced the arm back to its owner and see that it's the Neapolitan girl. I was slightly dazed after I realized how small and how cute she is; her height reached nearly my shoulder and she was holding a parasol. Thankfully she didn't mind and simply grabbed my hand with both of her hands and nodded at me awkwardly, like as if she's forgiving me. "Woops! Umm uhhh…" I was unable to reply in full sentence nor was it logical. She simply patted my hand and smiled at me. "H-Hey! –" before I could continue I hear someone scream in the counter "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU TWO ARE OUR 1000TH CUSTOMER FOR THE DAY! YOU TWO GET TO HAVE ANY PRODUCT WE SELL TODAY! JUST PICK!"

The cashier suddenly announced and the two of us looked at him out of shock. "Wait what?" the clerk simply looked at me and explained further "You see sir, the two of you get to choose what product you want and we'll give it to you for free, she gets to choose one and you get to choose one for your own"

"But how can two people be considered 1 customer?"

"Oh it's fine sir! You two are together after all" he pointed at our hands which we still haven't let go off. I quickly snatched my hand away together with my wallet and put it inside my pocket. "Sorry about that ummm…" I turned to see her smiling excitingly and filled with expectation as she looked at the menu, thinking what she'll buy. I just sighed and went with it "Yep, we're together alright!" she practically jumped up and down and gave me a short hug before facing back to the counter. 'Change of plans then, I can choose whatever I want now!' I took the opportunity "I'll have one cookies and cream ice cream cake please!" I announced and the cashier took our orders and placed them on the table, other workers came out with signs and balloons and another had a camera. He gave me my cake and he gave the girl a whole bucket of Neapolitan ice cream. "Alright you lovely couple! Face the camera and we'll take a picture to commemorate your amazing luck!"

We took our food and held it below our chest, showing it to the camera "Alright, 1… 2… 3… cheese!" the two of us smiled for the camera while the rest opened up party poppers and held signs at our background. Meanwhile, the other customers also began taking pictures of the two of us. After that, we took our leave as she skipped happily out of the ice cream diner.

Who wouldn't just love it, seeing a cute girl smile like that over ice cream? She looked at me with that smile and grateful eyes and I knew what she was going to say. I beat her to it and just smiled at her "Don't mention it, I don't mind" She bowed at me and her eyes turned to a more questioning look and again, before she could say anything I beat her to it "Just call me Agony" she nodded and stepped closer to me all of a sudden. We just stood there for a couple of minutes, too close for comfort to each other and in complete awkward silence. I couldn't stand it anymore so I broke it "You know, it'd be nice if you gave me your name so that I can call you something. I know we might not meet again but it's, like, common courtesy"

After finishing my sentence, the devil just flashed through her eyes and a devious grin covered her face. I raise a brow, wondering what she's up to and I took a step back then she raises her hand. She raises it out of my reach but still up to the level of my eyes and I see a scroll. Realizing the possibility, I patted my pockets and to my surprise, my scroll isn't there anymore. "HEY THAT'S MY SCROLL!" with a wink and a devious grin, she jumped back, tucked her ice cream under her arm, held her parasol on her other arm and ran away far from me before I could even reach for my scroll.

Luckily, the streets weren't too filled, allowing me to have a sight on her and maneuverability across the streets. She was able to elegantly dance through them while I had to shove a couple away to keep up with her. She turns a corner between two buildings and I followed her in pursuit. She stands there first, making sure I see her before she begins to leap at the two walls of the building, going up along the wall quickly, using her parasol to latch onto anything that will help her such as open ledges. I was stunned for 3 seconds before I followed suit, using my dark matter to latch onto the wall and boost myself up. I jumped over the rooftop's ledge and she waits for me to catch up before running again, jumping to building to building. She used her parasol to glide over some buildings that were too far apart but even that wasn't enough. To my surprise, she was very fast and agile, leaping, sliding and rolling over obstacles with ease, as if she's done this too many times to count. She's very gymnastic and flexible. 'What the hell?! She's too fast! Even for me!' I tried to catch up but her speed is simply too high even for me. I occasionally shot some dark matter at her but she blocked it with her opened parasol which was tougher than it looks and she dodges it with some glances at the back.

She flips over a high fence on top of a building, landing gracefully at the cemented floor. It was near Beacon Academy and I'm shocked that she's far faster than me. I latch onto the fence and catapult myself over it, landing in front of her. I was breathing hard 'I haven't run that fast for such a long time! Who is this girl?' her grin grew bigger as she just stood there. I put up a battle stance, keeping my blades still hidden "Give it or else I'll take it" I threatened her but she didn't seem to care at all. She simply bows at me like courtesy, spreading her arms while keeping eye contact with me. I stepped closer until suddenly, cracks begin to appear in her body and began spreading before finally shattering. My eyes widen and I rush forward to where she just stood. In her place was my scroll with a new contact complete with a name and number. It read 'Neopolitan'. My jaw hangs down before forming into a smile and out to a full-blown laughter. "Ahahahaha! Damn what a woman! To think she was able to do this while being chased by me!" my scroll rings meaning I just received a message: "I haven't had fun like that for awhile :P we should do it again sometime J" it read. I smile and reply to her quickly "Gladly…" I hit send and I just lay there on the floor of the roof top.

I stood up, ready to go home to my dorm with my team. My legs shake and I have to steady myself before walking. I'm pretty tired after that long chase and community service before that. 'We should start training now…' I thought to myself as I walked back with shaky legs.

Well, obviously Uptown Funk really came from Bruno Mars IRL but I just really wanted to put it in there, sorry if it's a bit forced. Also, guess who's the son of Quartz Coal.

Since Neo has arrived, I think I'll have to start thinking about pairings so I hope someone would give their suggestions and please critic how the story is so far... Thank you for the few readers out there :P
