Happy late holidays everyone! I hope everyone had good holidays. I got Assassins Creed Origins and I highly recommend playing it

[Jacobs dream] Crawley, Frye home - 8:00PM

Templars were attacking Jacob and Evies house. Ethan Frye, the twin's father was firing back at the Templars who were outside.

George opened the secret hatch in the house which Ethan had built in case anything happens. "Ethan! Time to go" He said.

"Get my kids out! I'll hold them off!" Ethan said.

"Father!" Little 10 year old Evie said. "Don't leave us!"

He went over and hugged her and Jacob. "I've trained you two to the best of your ability... It's up to you to continue the fight" He said. "I love you both"

"Father-" Jacob got interupted when the door got kicked open.

"Go! Now!" He said and ran over to fight. George picked both the kids up.

"NO! NO!" Evie cried trying to break free to fight. She looked back and saw a man strike a killing blow to his fathers face. "FATHER!"

RWBY dorm - 1:12AM

Jacob gasped as he woke up suddenly in his bed. He sat up and looked around the room.

He's had the same dream any times he thinks of his father before goes to bed... hm, dream... make that a nightmare.

he looked to his side, feeling Yang snuggle up to his side in her sleep. He smiled and lay back down, giving Yang a kiss on the head before going back to sleep.

Ballroom - 3:00PM

The dance was tomorrow, and decorations were still being put up. So far Yang and Weiss got balloons set up around the ballroom, streamers around the ceiling, and tables were being put on the sides.

Ruby was sitting at one of the tables, frowning how Blake won't listen to anything they have to say about the dance.

Yang walked over with a large stereo in her hands. She dropped it, everything in the room bounced in the air, including Ruby. "So! You get your dress yet?" She asked

Ruby groan. "What's the point? Who cares about the dance if Blake's not going?" She asked.

Jacob walked over with another stereo, but he was using Aura to help lift it. "Thought you said you convinced her" He said.

"We tried. But she won't listen" Ruby said.

"Don't worry about it you guys. I know how to get her to come" Yang said.

"What will you do?" Jacob asked.

"I'll just tell her..." She looked over at Weiss. "Weiss! We agreed to no doilies!" She yelled.

"If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!" Weiss said back.

"You guys are gonna have fog machines?" Neptune asked as he and Sun walked over to them. "That's pretty cool" He said.

Weiss smiled and went over to him. "Well... we were thinking about it" She said.

Jacob smirked. "Looks like you won't be getting doilies" He whispered to Yang as she smirk back.

"Soooo... Is Blake still being all... Blakey?" Sun asked.

"Obviously" Weiss said.

"We can't get her to change her mind" Ruby said.

Yang rolled her eyes. "You guys! Trust me... Blake will be at that dance" She said. As she was leaving the room, Jacob ran over to her.

"Hey Yang... You never said what your plan was" Jacob said.

"Oh it's simple. I'll tell her something about my past that'll help her realize she needs to relax" She said.

"Hm... Something similar to what Blake's going through?" He asked and she nodded. Jacob thought about Evie when they were kids. "If you don't mind... Could I tag along and share a story? You did say you wanted to know about my parents"

"Well... I was just curious" Yang said and frown. "But this is different"

"I know" He said. "Anything to help Blake"

"Hm... Ok Jacob" She said. Jacob smiled at her.

Library - 3:10PM

Jacob and Yang hid behind a bookcase as they watched Blake on a computer.

"What's the plan?" Jacob asked.

"Watch" Yang said. She pulled out a laser pointer from her pocket and pointed a red dot at Blake's monitor.

As Blake read some stuff, a red dot appeared. She raised a brow and looked around trying to find who did that, but saw nobody. She went back to reading and the dot came back again. She groaned, with the lack of sleep, couldn't resist her animal urges. She got up and followed the red dot like a cat would.

Blake turned the corner and walked into Yang.

"Hellooooo~!" Yang said and wave.

"Wha..."

"We need to talk" Jacob said and grab her arm. She yelp in surprise as she got dragged out.

Dorm building bathroom - 3:12PM

Ren had just got out of the shower, and was walking back to his room with a towel around his waist. He walked into Jaune. "Oh, hey Ja-"

"We need to talk!" Jaune said and quickly dragged Ren away.

They sat down on together, with Ren being uncomfortable still in his towel.

"Ren, I'm just gonna come out and say it... You're my best friend" Jaune said. "I feel like these past few months we've really bonded, even though you don't say much... T-To be honest, I don't know that much about you personally, but darn it I consider you to be the brother I never had!" He said.

Ren was hesitant at first, mainly being to confused what to say to that. "And I you..." Was all he said back.

"Which is why I wanted to get your advice on... girls" He said.

"Girls?" Ren asked. He looked the other way and tried to reach for his clothes that were peaking out of the closet.

"I just... Don't know... how to... girls- umm..." Jaune mumbled. "I guess what I'm asking is... How did you and Nora...?"

Ren widen his eyes and look back blushing. "Woah! Uhh..."

Nora coughed to get Jaunes attention. He looked over to her in her pajamas and reading a magazine. She laugh nervously. "We're not actually like... together together..." She said.

"Nora I said headphones on!" Jaune said. She eep and quickly got them back on.

"Alright Jaune. What is this about?" Ren asked.

He sighed. "It's Evie... I'm falling head over heels for her, and I never get the chance to talk to her outside of classes or training" He said. "She's just... incredible. She's smart, and graceful, and talented. I-I mean, have you heard her accent?!" He looked down. "I don't wanna get in the way, but I just wish she wasn't so busy doing whatever she does, y'know? I... I wish I could tell her how I feel about her... without messing it all up" He said.

"Then do it" Jaune, Ren and Nora looked over to the door and saw Pyrrha. "Tell her exactly what you just said. No ridiculous schemes, no pick-up lines, Just... be honest with her"

"But what if-"

"Jaune" Pyrrha said. "You can't get it wrong if it's the truth" She said and smiled at him. "She's in the training room right now... Tell her how you feel about her"

Jaune smiled and got up. He walked over and hugged her. "Thank you Pyrrha" He said. She smiled bigger and hugged him back. He let go and left the room.

Pyrrha sighed when the door closed. She couldn't believe she let the guy she loves just go off and ask out another girl.

"Practice what you preach Pyrrha" Nora said.

"If it makes Jaune happy to be with the woman he likes, then I'm glad to do it" She said.

"And what about you?" Ren asked. "You need someone to be with too"

"And that day will come... One day" She said.

Classroom - 3:40PM

Yang and Jacob brought Blake to one of the empty classrooms. Yang sat on the desk, while Jacob blocked the way up the stairs so she wouldn't leave.

"Yang, if you guys are just gonna tell me to stop my search, then you might as well save your breath"

"We don't want you to stop. We just want you to slow down" Yang said.

"We don't have the luxury to slow down!" She said.

"It's not a luxury, it's a necessity" She said back.

"The necessity is stopping Torchwick from doing whatever he's planning!"

"Don't you think Torchwick needs to sleep to?" Jacob asked. "We'll get to him, in time... but right now you need to listen to what me and Yang have to say about what you're doing to yourself, and the people around you"

Blake looked back at Yang. She moved to the side to give her a seat. Blake sighed. "Fine" She said and sat down.

"Ruby and I grew up in Patch, an island off the coast of Vale. Our parents were Huntsmen, our father teaches at Signal, and our mom took on missions around the kingdom... her name, was Summer Rose. She was my step mom, and she was like... super mom. 'Baker of cookies and slayer of giant monsters'" Yang said. "One day she left for a mission, and... never returned..." Jacob widen his eyes slightly at that. "We were all hurt. Ruby was torn up, but she was kinda still young to really know what was going on, and our dad just... shut down after her death"

Blake looked at her and sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that"

"It wasn't long before I learned why he was so broken. I soon learned it was because it wasn't the first love he lost, but his second. The first... was MY mom. Her name was Raven Branwen"

Blake and Jacob looked at her surprised. Like everyone else, they always knew there was a huge difference between her and Ruby, and the difference was they were half sisters.

"Dad wouldn't tell me everything about her, Just that her, my dad, Summer and my uncle Qrow were all on a team together... And that she left my dad right after I was born. Since then, nobodies seen her"

"Do you know why she left?" Blake asked.

"No" Yang said. "But that question... 'Why?'... I never knew the answer, but I was determined to find out" She got up and face the chalkboard. "It was ALL I could think about for months" She started drawing on the board. "One day... I found something that could lead me to answers, or maybe even my mother. I waited for dad to leave the house, put Ruby in a wagon then headed out. I must've walked for hours. I had cuts and bruises, and I was totally exhausted but I didn't care. I wasn't gonna let anything stop me" She said. "When we finally made it I almost passed out, but I didn't care. I was so happy to make it... And then I saw them. Those burning red eyes... So there we were. A toddler asleep in a wagon, and a little girl too exhausted to even cry for help. We would've been dead that day if our uncle Qrow didn't save us at the last minute" She said.

Jacob looked at Yang sympathetically. If he had known her past, he would've said something to her. Maybe open up a bit to her.

"My stubbornness would've gotten me and Ruby killed, which is why I'll never let my search get in the way of myself, or the people around me, ever again" Yang said, putting the chalk down.

Blake sighed. "Yang... I'm sorry that happened to you, and I understand what you're trying to tell me... But this is different" She stood up. Jacob notice Yang's grip on the board. "I'm not a child! And this isn't just a search for answers. I can't just-"

"I TOLD you! I'm not telling you to stop. I haven't... To this day I still wanna know what happened to my mom. But I will NEVER let that search control me" Yang said. "We're gonna find the answers we're looking for, but if we destroy ourselves in the process then what good was all that progress for?"

Blake had her hands up. "You don't understand! I'm the only one who can do this!"

"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Yang yelled and turned around to Blake with red eyes. "If Torchwick walked through that door right now what would you do?!"

"I'd fight him!" Blake said.

Yang pushed her on the desk. "You'd lose!"

"I can stop him!" She said as she pushed back with barely any energy.

"You can't even stop me!" Yang said and push her again, hitting the desk harder.

Jacob walked over as she got back up. "I can beat him!" Blake said.

"No... Torchwick would kill you" Jacob said bluntly. Yang and Blake looked at him. "I know because Evie went through the same thing"

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

Jacob sat on the desk. "My parents were... what you'd consider 'Freedom Fighters'. They'd travel to villages that need help in dealing with bandits" He said. "When Evie and I were born, our mother died shortly after giving birth... It hurt our father, but she knew he had to be strong for us. And that's what he was for us. By our fifth birthday, he trained us in fighting, climbing, running, and stealth, for the next 5 years" He said. "Then one day when we were ten... some bandits attacked our house. Something our father was planning if it ever happened"

Blake and Yang weren't dumb, they knew what was about to happen.

"He got me and Evie out of the house in time, but he stayed and fought... He gave his life to protect us" Jacob said.

Blake looked down. "Oh my... I'm sorry Jacob" She said.

Jacob nodded and look down slightly. "It tore me up, but not as much as it did for Evie. We spent the rest of our lives in Achievement Island, living with an old friend of our fathers, Geoff Ramsy" He said. He had to still stick with his backstory living there, but he'll still talk about the personal things in his life. "Evie spent years obsessed with tracking the bandit leader who killed our father down, until we were 15. Evie found a lead on the leader. I implored her not to go after him, but she wouldn't listen, she was going to avenge our father. She snuck out in the middle of the night and traveled for miles to get to the place. Geoff and I soon woke up the next day realizing she was gone. We got in his car and quickly headed to the same place she was headed to, but by the time we got there... the leader stabbed Evie in the stomach" He said.

The girls gasped in shock of that.

"We were lucky just to get her out of there and back home in time... After she was patched up, Evie promised to not allow personal affections control her" He said. He looked up at Blake. "Yang WILL find her mother. Our fathers killer WILL face justice. And Torchwick WILL be stopped... But we'll never get to see that day if we destroy our bodies"

Blake looked away. Yang walked over to Blake and hugged her. "We're not asking you to stop..." She said quietly. "Just please... Get some rest. Not just for you, but the people you care about" She said. She let go and walked over to the stairs. "And if you do feel like coming... I'll save you a dance" She said and smirked.

When she walked out the door, Blake sighed and sat on the floor. Jacob left to give her time alone, and went out to meet up with Yang. "Yang... How are you?" He asked.

"Fine" She said and looked back. "If you're worried about me, don't be"

Jacob smiled slightly. "You and I both it seems"

Yang walked over and held his hand with one hand and put a hand on his cheek. "You were right back there, we'll search for our stuff in time... But for tomorrow, let's enjoy ourselves" She said. They leaned in and kissed. "Who knows? You might get lucky after the dance" She said with a wink.

Jacob smiled and walked away. He would've never either of them about what happened to there fathers killer in the end. About how they got him in London...

[Flashback] London, Police station - 3:30PM

Jacob and Evie walked up the stairs with Sgt. Abberline. They had arrested a man earlier in the day, and he called the twins once he was brought in.

They made it to the holding cell the man was in. "There he is... Oliver Wilson" Jacob said and narrowed his eyes.

Oliver got up from the ground and walked to the bars. "Hm... The Frye twins. Last time we meet, I had almost killed you" He said to Evie.

Evie glared. "You could've tried harder" She said.

"Starrick kicks you out of the Order in less than a week, and you get arrested" Jacob said.

"I still have the support of the Order... I'll be out of here in a week" Oliver said. Jacob and Evie looked at each other then at Abberline. He nodded and left with the other police officers in the h floor. They opened the cell door and walked in. "Woah, what's going on here?" He asked and backed away.

"You see, for all the work we did for the police over the last few weeks, we got to call in a few favors..." Jacob said.

"The first one was getting you arrested and letting us know you'd be here. And the second... Having them look the other way while we get our revenge" Evie said.

Olivers back hit the wall. "You shits... You won't get away with this. Templars will hunt you down in your sleep" Oliver said.

"This is for Father" Jacob said and stabbed Oliver in the stomach with his kukri. Evie took her cane sword out and hit him over the head with the blunt end.

Oliver shouted as the twins killed him. Finally, after 8 years... there father has been avenged.

[Present] Outside - 6:05PM

Jaune spent a little while picking the perfect flower to give to Evie. He was walking to the combat room when he turned the corner and saw Weiss and Neptune. he went back to the corner to keep from bothering them.

"What's up Weiss?" Neptune asked.

"Well... I know this is a little unorthodox... but I wanted to ask you something... Would you like to accompany me to the dance tomorrow?" Weiss asked Moving around nervously.

Jaune quickly went the other way to keep from disturbing them. He went around the other direction.

He soon saw Evie walking out the door. He smiled. 'Ok... I'll tell her how much I like her, give her the flower, then ask her-'

"Hey there Evie" Jaune lost his train of thought when he saw David walking over to Evie.

"Hi David" Evie said.

"Sooo... The dance is tomorrow night, and I was wondering if you didn't have a date yet, we could go together" he said and smiled.

"With me?" Evie asked.

Jaune was shocked, his heart skipped a beat. He was so close to getting Evie, so close to asking her... but he lost his chance. He dropped the flower and just walked away. He never got to hear Evie's answer.

"Well, I'm sorry David. But I'm not interested in going with anyone... I'd like to just go alone" She said.

David hummed and shrugged. "If you say so" He said and walked away.

Evie sighed as she walked back to her dorm. She wasn't interested in anyone else besides one man... Jaune.

[next day] Ballroom - 8:30PM

Jacob, Weiss, and Ruby watched as Yang danced with Blake on the dance floor of the ballroom. After there talk last night, Blake went to her dorm room and slept for the whole day. When the two girls were done dancing, Yang gave Blake back to Sun, her date for the ball. She walked back to the others. "Told you she'd come" Yang said.

"Mission accomplished" Weiss said.

Ruby looked around. "So... what now?" She asked.

"Now we have fun!" Yang said and pull Jacob over to the dance floor while Weiss walked away. Ruby groaned.

"Can I take this stupid dress off and change into my hood?!" She whined and pout.

"You seem pretty happy right now?" Yang asked and smirked.

"Why wouldn't I be? I get to be with you" Jacob said as they danced. "Still keeping my hopes up I'll get lucky after this"

"Oh? You believed me?" She teased with a wink.

"So you don't want me?" He asked back. She bit her lip and laughed.

"That depends if I get the chance... I see the other girls around here" She said.

Jacob's eyes moved around as he spun, noticing the few girls staring at him with devious eyes. He smirked and looked back at Yang. "I have a feeling this will be a long night..."

90 minutes later...

All the people soon came to the ballroom. Some were dancing, while others sat around at the tables eating and drinking.

Ruby was by the punch bowl on her own. Jaune walked over and stood next to her.

"I see you're hiding at the punch bowl too" He said.

"Yup..." Ruby said.

"Welp..." He raised his cup. "To the socially awkward" He said.

She laughed and tapped her glass with his.

They looked around the ballroom, when they noticed Jacob was dancing with a seventh new girl. "Jeez. Jacob's got girls lining up for him, while we're stuck here" Jaune said and laughed.

Ruby looked at him. "Sorry things didn't work out with Evie"

"Eh it's ok. David's a cool guy... well, when he doesn't have that hockey mask on" He said and smiled. "I cans see why she'd go with him"

She raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"Well come on. The guys a bulking mass of destruction" He said and took a sip from his cup.

"No, I mean Evie came to the dance alone" She said.

Jaune widen his eyes and coughed up his punch. "What?!" He asked. They looked over to their table, where Evie, Yang, Nora and Ren were sitting and laughing.

"She said David asked, but she refused" She said. "She said she wanted to come alone"

"Oh..." He said and sighed. He thought it wouldn't have mattered whether he asked her or not... Boy, if he knew the truth though.

He noticed Weiss over by the side, trying to get a flower to stand back up. "What's Weiss doing? Isn't she with Neptune?" He asked.

"What? No, she came alone too" She said. Jaune widen his eyes. " She said she had too much to focus on to worry about boys"

Jaune looked over the dance floor and saw Neptune, Blake and Sun laughing together. He narrowed his eyes at Neptune. He wasn't able to have a date for the dance, but that's no right for others not to have one either. "Hold my punch" He said and gave Ruby his cup then walked off. Ruby didn't care and drank Jaune's cup.

As Jaune walked over to Neptune to give him a piece of his mine, He saw Pyrrha walking by. She went up the stairs and looked saddened about something. Jaune sighed knowing his team comes first. He went up the stairs as well, making his way to the large balcony. Pyrrha was looking out to the view.

"Hey Pyrrha" Jaune said.

Pyrrha turned and saw him. "Hello Jaune" She said.

"You ok? Haven't seen you downstairs" He said.

"Arrived late I'm afraid" She said

"Well... you look great" He said as he looked at her red dress. "Your uhh... date's not gonna beat me up for saying that, right?"

She chuckle. "No, I think you'll be fine" She said.

He sighed in relief. "That's good... So who's the lucky guy?"

Pyrrha just sighed. "There is no guy Jaune. I don't have a date"

"What?! But you're PYRRHA NIKOS. What guy wouldn't want to be with you?" He asked.

She looked down. "I have been bless with incredible talent... I'm surrounded with love and praise wherever I go, but... When you're put on that pedestal for so long, all people can think about is how they think I'm better than everyone else. That... That I'm too good for anyone to even talk to. Its kept me from making any form of relationship with anyone" She said. "That's what I like about you Jaune"

"Me?" He asked.

"Yes you. The day we meet, you didn't even know my name! You just treated me like a normal girl like anyone else..."

Jaune looked at her and didn't know what to say. "But... What about Evie? You two meet before you meet me, and didn't she treat you normal too?"

She nodded. "She's a great friend too. She knows what it's like to feel that same way... But you... With you as my leader... It's because of YOU that I made friendships here that will last a lifetime" She said. "THAT is why I like you. I guess what I'm trying to say is... You're the kind of guy I wish I was at the dance with" She said. She walked back to the door while

Jaune stayed back to comprehend everything. 'I never knew I meant that much to her' He thought. "Pyrrha wait-"

"Heeeyyy!" As he turned around, he was meet with he asshole he was going to yell at at first. Neptune. "Jaune right?"

He narrowed his eyes and turned back around to look at the stars. "Yeah. That's me"

"This things pretty lame, am I right? I mean... ballroom dancing?" He asked and scoffed. "Cute girls though"

Jaune growled and turned back. "Is that all you care about?" He asked.

"Huh? What?" He asked.

"Do you even care about the girls you flirt on?! How they feel?!" He asked. "How could you turn her down like that?!"

"Woah! What are you talking about man?" He asked.

"Weiss!" He said. "I heard her yesterday. She asked YOU to the dance"

"Oh... That uh... I-It just didn't work out" He said and scratch the back of his head.

"What? Not cool enough for Weiss? She asked YOU to the dance! What could you possibly keep you from go-"

"I can't dance!" Neptune said and looked away embarrassed.

Jaune looked at him surprised. "I... What?" He asked.

"I can't dance man..." He said again.

"But you're... so... cool" He said.

Neptune looked back. "Thank you. I try really, really hard"

Jaune looked at him for a moment. "So... You'd rather break a girls heart and go to a dance alone, than admit you can't dance?" He asked.

"Thaaaat about sums it up, yeah" He said and nodded.

"Well, I feel better about myself" Jaune said.

"PLEASE don't tell anyone about it" He begged. "Look, if you want Weiss, she's all yours. Go for it man" He said.

Jaune sighed. "I don't want Weiss... I'm just looking out for my friends" He said and lean on the stone railing. "Do you really like her?"

"Yeah. Well... I don't know her all that well, but she's pretty cool" He said.

"Then just go talk to her. No... Pickup lines, no swave moves. Just be yourself" He said to him. "I've heard that's the way to go"

"Yeah but-"

"Hey! You don't need to look cool all the time" Jaune said. "In fact, if you could be a little less cool, that'd be great for me"

Neptune nodded. "Alright... I'll talk to her" He said. "Thanks Jaune. You're a pretty cool guy"

"Alright. Alright... Don't need to lie to my face" He said as he fist bumped him. The two went back inside. Neptune walked downstairs while Jaune stayed upstairs watching the dance. He saw Pyrrha getting some punch and sighed.

Arthur walked over next to Jaune and leaned on the railing. He looked in Jaunes direction and saw he was looking at Pyrrha. "Oooohhhh... Hot red head" He said.

Jaune turned his head to him. "Arthur, right?" He asked.

"That's right" He said. He took out a flask full of alcohol and offered Jaune some.

"Uhhh... Hehe... Not hanks" He said and smiled nervously.

He shrugged and took a sip. "So... You gonna ask her to dance?" He asked.

"I don't know... She and I are teammates. And I wanna find a way to make her happy" Jaune said.

"Need help?" He asked.

"Hmm..." Jaune mumbled. "By 'make her happy', I don't mean... you know..." He said, getting embarrassed of saying sex.

Arthur rolled his eyes and put an arm around Jaune. "At parties like this, you gotta show your girl just how much you don't give a shit about the people around you. You gotta surprise her with something with just the right amount of 'Oh Jaune! You're so crazy!' but at the same time, showing her just how much you give a shit about her. What YOU need..." He looked over his tuxedo. "... What you need... is a wardrobe change"
