Enjoy :)

Blake woke up a terrible mood. She had been up all night thinking about what she should say to Yang. After being informed about Weiss's rejection she was even more nervous than before. She spent most of her morning staring at her cereal instead of eating it. When she arrived at school her presence alone brought up many questions,
"Omg what's wrong?"

"Are you okay?"

"Can I help?"

Many of students were concerned about the Vice President and while Blake appreciated the concern she wished they would stop asking. Most of her morning was spent avoiding students and calming herself down. She came to the conclusion that it would be best to askYang to the dance after their homeroom since today was a short day and she could leave right away if things turned bad.

Homeroom went on as usual, Yang was completely oblivious of Blake's weird attitude. While Blake appreciated that she didn't notice, she was a bit upset that out of all the people in the school she didn't seem concerned.

The bell rang and it was time for break.

"Uh..Yang can we talk?" Blake asked trying not to seem nervous.

"Sure. Blakey what's up?"

"Not here. Let's talk somewhere else."

Blake walked Yang to the school's garden. No one really went there so it was the perfect place for privacy.

"Woah, Blake this place is beautiful!"

The school's garden stretched for at least a mile. There were multiple paths that lead to different flowers. Sunflowers, lilies, tulips, carnations, and roses the list went on. Yellows, blues, and reds the whole area was vibrant with colors.
"Why didn't you show me this place in the tour?" Yang asked.

"Well...students usually only come here for..certain circumstances." With Blake's last words they both became silent. The wind being the sound they can hear, the two girls just stared at each other. Yang gave Blake a small smile, and her heart swooned once again. How can someone be this beautiful? Blake thought to herself, better now or never!

"Uh. Yang? I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"W-would you go to the dance with m-me?" And there goes that silence again. Except this one isn't as peaceful. There was tension, Blake stood staring at the ground. Yang stared straight at Blake, content she was asked but concerned for something.

"B-Blake I really want to go with you but-" Yang couldn't complete her sentence because Blake started running away from her. She stood confused for a second and made a quick decision.

She ran.

She ran after Blake. Her first thought was wow this girl is fast! But her thoughts were completely interrupted when she able to stop the girl at the sunflower path.

Yang grabbed her forearm and took a deep breathe.

"Let me go..." Blake plead in a quite tone.

"You didn't let me finish." Yang turned the girl near her and saw she was crying. She cupped Blake's face and wiped her tears away with her thumb.

"As I was saying, I want to go with you but...I'm worried about Ruby."

"Ruby?"

"Yea. She came home a mess yesterday and I think it's my fault." Yang adverted her eyes from Blake for a moment, regretting hurting her sister and the girl in front of her. She continued,

"You know, lately the both of us have been getting a lot of attention. And I know how awkward Ruby can be around people she doesn't know yet, so to avoid any awkward situations at the dance I told her to tell people she already had a date."

Yang once again paused for a second and her grip on Blake's arm became tighter. Blake flinched at the pain a little bit but didn't remove her hand. Yang noticed her grip and removed her hand swiftly giving Blake a silent apology. Yang let out a sigh and continued,
"What I didn't expect was someone SHE actually liked to ask her. I know Ruby and I've never seen her like anyone so this was completely new for her… and me."

"Why didn't she just say yes?"

Yang let out a little chuckle, "She was following big sister's order. I guess you can say I'm a bit overprotective"

Now it was Blake's turn to laugh, "Only a bit huh?"

"Fine, a lot! She said no because she thought I would be mad or something. And she was crying over something I did, so I thought I would just take her to the dance instead to make up for it."

Blake let out a long breathe she didn't realize she was holding. Yang said no not because she didn't like her but because of her love for her sister. Blake smiled knowing how compassionate Yang can be.

" I understand Yang."

"You do! Great. 'Cuz I'm definitely not saying no to you bae! I would definitely go if- you know."

"Yea. I know."

Yang hugged the girl out of excitement. Most people didn't understand how much Ruby meant to her and would just leave, but Blake stayed and she couldn't be happier.

"And just because I'm taking Ruby doesn't mean we can't dance together."

"Sure. Maybe we can dance together, I did just get half way turned down." Blake teased knowing full well it would fluster the blonde.

"I-ah well...I thought." Yang noticed Blake's smirk and calmed down. "You're messing with me aren't you?"

"Yup."

"You're the worst. Come here!" Yang grabbed Blake's waist and brought her in a close hug. She whispered in her ear. "Thanks for understand Blake."

Even though Blake was embarrassed she somehow managed to wrap her arms around Yang's neck and tell her she's welcome.

They stood locked in each other arms for a few more seconds until Yang said, "Maybe you'll even get a kiss being so sweet to me."

The comment was full of innuendo, and it sent a shivered down Blake's back, she was stuck silent.

Yang laughed and released her hold on Blake. She began running towards the school leaving Blake stuck in her own fantasy.

Man what is this girl doing to me?

Ruby was more out of it than usual. Her usual thoughts of cookies and electronics were over run by Weiss. Ruby is a good loving person that likes almost everybody, but something about Weiss was different. Weiss was a bit meaner than most people she talked to but she felt something beyond that mean exterior. She has seen the heiress smile and give her treats when she wasn't getting on her nerves. And she didn't see her treat other people like that so she thought, maybe I'm special.

It made her happy to know Weiss thought she was special. Never in a millions years did Ruby think someone as rich, beautiful, and powerful as Weiss would like her. The more she realized this the guiltier she felt.

I should have just said yes! Ruby thought to herself. She couldn't even comprehend what was going on until she spoke with Yang.
Curse this social awkwardness...if I could have said yes maybe I wouldn't feel so guilty.

She let out a long sigh.

Ten minutes have passed by and she was still in a slump. She felt bad for Weiss, and her sister. When she told Yang happened the older sister blamed herself and took responsibility. While Ruby valued what her sister was doing it just made her feel worse, because now Yang can't go to the dance with anyone. The more she thought about it, the worse it got.

"Hello friend Ruby! What seems to be the problem?" Penny asked interrupting Ruby's thoughts.

"Ugh. I just messed up Penny! I-I said something I didn't really mean and now everyone's hurt because of me."

"Did you attempt to correct this mistake?"

"Correct it? How?"

"Just tell this person what you really meant. It should not be hard." Penny smiled so innocently that Ruby thought maybe she could fix things.

"Oh! Thanks Penny I'll go fix it right now!" With that last comment Ruby start running on impulse she only had five more minutes until the break ended so she needed to find Weiss fast.

She knew Weiss was usually in her office so that was the first place she checked. All I gotta do is tell Weiss the truth. That I actually want to go with her, and everything will be fixed those were her last thoughts upon arriving to her office.

Ruby was just tall enough to see inside the office window; but what she didn't expect to see was Neptune, the blue haired playboy with a bunch of money, talking to Weiss. She stood in front of door dumbstruck, was I too late?
Neptune's voice could be heard from beyond the door,

"So what colors do want to wear to dance snow angel?"

Ruby's heart dropped at the single comment. I was late. It's over. She hung her head low and tears started forming in her eyes. The bell rung and she began to walk to class not caring if she was going to be late.

Before she could even leave the main office she felt a hand on her shoulder, "You're going to be late walking like that kid." She turned her head slowly to see who was talking to her. It was the last person she wanted to see, Neptune. His smile slowly faded and turned into a worried expression. Ruby almost forgot she crying, she snatched his hand away from her shoulder and ran all the way to her next class.

"Neptune! What did you do now?" Weiss yelled while holding her bags.

"I didn't do anything! I just told her she was gonna be late and she ran away from me."

"Well, that was rude." Weiss began walking with Neptune to their next class.

"Yea I guess, but she was crying I wonder what's wrong?"

"Crying? Well that sounds concerning. Do you know who she was?"

"Yea. That Ruby Rose girl that just transferred here."

Weiss stopped in her tracks stunned that Ruby was anywhere near the office. We is thought to herself.

Ruby...what was Ruby doing here? Maybe she had some kind of emergency and that's why she is crying. I hope she's okay...

"Uhh. Hey you good there? You kinda spaced out."

"I-I'm perfectly fine! Let's get to class."

Even though they both made it class Weiss thoughts were somewhere else. She worried nonstop about the red headed girl that she almost forgot to write down her homework.

Get it together Weiss. It's probably not a big deal. You'll simply ask her after school. Hmph, if I can find the courage too.
