Minutes After Donovan Was Rescued
"Alright m'lady~! Get ready to be dazzled!" Aria exclaimed as she walked out, sporting an entire new look. She was now wearing an azure blue and white button-up dress. The top section and upper azure blue layer of the dress buttons up the front with frills on either side of the buttons, a peter pan-style collar, and long, puffed, transparent sleeves. Her dress is tied at the waist with a black ribbon tied into a bow, and her lower white layer skirt is layered with a straight white skirt that opens to a panel of several pleats at the front. Her skirt is decorated with navy blue and black roses, hunter green leaves, and small white flowers. She also wears a black leather mini backpack with bat-like wings, a pair of white frilly ankle socks and a pair of black wedge heel mary jane shoes. Her blonde hair had also grown a bit past her shoulders as well. The only thing she retained was her fluffy light blue accessory.
"Hmm, impressive." Salem nodded.
"What do you think? You think Whitley will like my new look?"
I doubt it. Salem smiled. "I'm sure he will." Aaaah, it definitely reminds me of the time I used to dress up for Ozma…
"...Lady Salem?"
"Hmm?"
"You okay? You looked like you were daydreaming."
"Ah… don't worry about it." Salem said as the door opened up.
"We're back." Watts said as they walked in, though Vanitas had to help Donovan hobble in while Watts carried Tyrian around like a backpack.
"Ah, good to see you two are okay… ish." Salem said. "Tyrian, why in Remnant's name did you lose the bottom half of your body?"
"Let's just say… the new Summer Maiden used the Sword of Destruction against me and… cit me through like butter."
Salem looked intrigued. "A new Summer Maiden?"
"Not of this world."
Salem scowled. "Not of this world? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?! Is she from Gensokyo, Popstar, any planet that the Bounty Hunter didn't blow up, Onett, Pac-Land, Hyrule… where is she from?"
"I, unfortunately, did not get where she is from, but she is in a world that is filled with magic."
Salem's eye twitched. "You fool, ALL THE WORLDS ARE FILLED WITH MAGIC!"
Tyrian sweatdropped. "Well, yes, I realize that now…"
"It's best not to get worked up over this. Even someone like you would have underestimated this woman's capabilities." Watts said.
Salem took a deep breath. "Fair enough."
"Un-freakin-believable." Aria growled. "Two skinwalkers go away and they come back heavily scarred but still alive… ESPECIALLY YOU!" She pointed to Donovan. "You look like you went through an incinerator! Obviously the incinerator didn't do it's damn job!"
"Yeah, apparently that Dark Mistake was responsible for the red sky… and apparently it was enough for my amulet to put me into a trance." Donovan said.
"Dark Ruby was behind this?" Salem wondered. "Apparently, turning her into a Grimm filled her head with too much power… either that or that damned clown did something." She grumbled.
"Well, I stuck around her castle… or what was left of it anyway. I don't know how I managed to get out after it crumbled to nothing. But anyway, I found these blueprints." Donovan tossed them to Salem. "They might be of some use."
Salem looked at them. "Interesting… making Grimm out of the creatures in the Mushroom Kingdom… oh, robotic Grimm from Mega Man's world… creatures from Hyrule…" Her eyes had a gleeful sparkle to them. "Fascinating!"
"Yeah, the Dark Mistake had her use. Managed to get out before that moon with a face came down and destroyed everything." Donovan said.
"Well, of course Dark Ruby was a mistake! She dropped the moon but she COMPLETELY MISSED THE DAMN BULLSEYE!" Aria glared.
"Oh, so you're saying I was supposed to be the center of the target?"
"Yes! The Grimm World blew up like a fireball and you survived! No wonder she did, she could never hit her mark!"
"Says the bitch who hides like a coward behind her toys!"
"At least I have two feet! You have no leg to stand on!"
"Why don't you put your foot next to my mouth, I'll be happy to bite it off! We can be evenly matched!"
"Oh, so is that an invitation for me to kick your teeth out?"
"You can kick? With those legs? They'd probably break if someone were to put suntan lotion on 'em!"
Aria's face went beet red while steam came out of her ears where everyone could have sworn they heard a train whistle. "THAT'S IT! COME HERE, YOU FURBALL!" She tackled him to the ground, resulting in yet another fighting dust cloud.
"You kick like a girl!"
"I'M GONNA SKIN YOU ALIVE AND HANG YOUR FUR ON MY WALL!"
"Good luck skinning this fur off, you hag!"
"Skinwalker!"
"Coward!"
"Fight fight fight fight fight fight!" Tyrian chanted.
"Ugh, just go into a room and make out already…" Grimm Vanitas mumbled.
'WE ARE NOT IN LOVE!"
"Ah… young love… this is why I took an interest in robotics and engineering." Watts said.
Salem chuckled. "I suppose things are back to normal."
"Hey, watch where you're biting me! You know that this dress is brand new and very expensive!"
"Good to know, I'll keep biting there!"
A few days later…
"So, how was your trip to Delfino?" Peach asked.
"Pretty good, if I say so myself." Ozpin responded. "Hard to imagine that a year ago, the residents framed team RWBY for something they didn't do."
"I'm glad Phoenix took care of it." Peach shook her head with a chuckle. "How did Mavis take it?"
"She played with the Cataquacks and managed to get herself a brain freeze while eating gelato."
"Huh? How does a ghost get a brain freeze?"
"I wondered that myself." Ozpin chuckled. "Anyway, I have a feeling there's more to this visit."
"Yes. I was wondering if we could use some sort of celebration. Dark Ruby's dead, so… why not throw a party?"
"A wonderful idea… however, I suggest not using Beacon for the time being. It's going under a lot of repairs."
Peach nodded. "Understood and… I would suggest my castle, but I feel like we could use a different location."
"I'd hate to impose on Edelgard… she would probably feel overwhelmed having a party at her castle. Though, perhaps she wouldn't mind at all."
Peach rubbed her chin in thought. "...I got a better idea." She said, pulling out her phone and calling someone up, putting them on speaker phone.
"...M-ello…?"
"Hey Daize, it's me!"
"Oh, hey Peach…"
"You okay?"
"I felt like sleeping in… what time is it… holy shit, it's three in the afternoon?"
"Oh, well… I could call someone else if you-"
"No, no, it's fine. I need to get up anyway. What's up?"
"Well… we were thinking of throwing a party to celebrate Dark Ruby's death-"
"Uh-huh…"
"And… you think that we could have a party at Sarasa Castle? I was thinking it could be for tomorrow."
Silence.
"...Daisy?"
They could hear construction noises being heard from the phone, along with a "PARTY AT MY PLACE! FUCK YEEEEEEAH!"
Peach giggled, hanging up. "That's a yes."
Ozpin chuckled. "Truly, she's not like most princesses."
"Ah, she's a tomboy. What are you gonna do?" Peach giggled.
The next day, in Sarasaland…
"Ya know, I have to say… I don't think I ever made a trip to Sarasaland before." Yang said as they were in Daisy's castle.
"I wanted to, but I kept getting distracted…" Ruby said.
"I thought about it… never really got around to it." Weiss admitted.
"Yeeeeah… same here." Blake nodded.
"Oh good! You guys have made it!" Daisy smiled. "Y'all are a bit early but that's fine. I'm no stickler for time!" She then looked over to Ruby. "Hey, how's your hip doing?"
"Eh, I'm still recovering." Ruby said. "The crutches are a pain, but… eh, better than wheelchairs. I kinda want to run though."
"Well, you'll run eventually." Daisy said. "Soooo, where's the rest of your family?"
"They're coming… although Byleth and Dorothea took a trip somewhere. They said Sora invited them." Yang said.
"Well, I'm sure they'll come by soon." Daisy said. "Oh! I almost forgot, you guys probably don't know this, but Sarasaland works differently than the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Okay, you got me intrigued." Blake said.
"So basically, Sarasaland consists of multiple, diverse Kingdoms. You got Birabuto Kingdom, which has these awesome pyramids and ruled by King Totomesu. He's a big ol' lion that breathes fire, but he's got a soft heart. The Muda Kingdom consists of many islands around a huge body of water, perfect for beach parties and deep sea diving. The ruler there, Dragonzamasu, is a fire breathing seahorse and can be a bit temperamental, but he means well."
"Sounds like he belongs in the Pokemon world." Yang snarked.
Daisy laughed. "I keep saying the same thing and he's still clueless to what I mean!" She giggled. "Then you got the Easton Kingdom where it's a larger island near the Muda Kingdom and it's got these weird stone faced statues, but a cool as hell cave. Hiyoihoi rules here and… he's an asshole. He likes to throw rocks at everyone, including me. Ugh, even when he's in a good mood, he likes to throw rocks at people just for "The hell of it", as he puts it."
"Sounds annoying." Weiss said.
"It is! Everyone calls him out on it but he's just annoyingly chill like it's no big deal!" Daisy sighed. "Oi… anyway, the Chai Kingdom is probably the largest kingdom out of Sarasaland. It's basically a huge city field with Chinese styled culture. You want Chinese food? Chai Kingdom's got you covered. They have plenty of festivals there."
"...Sooo, you didn't think of having a party down there?" Ruby asked.
"Aheheheh… didn't think about that." Daisy rubbed her head sheepishly. "Anyway, the ruler over there is named Biokinton. He's friendly but extremely shy. He never comes out from behind his cloud so… no one knows what he looks like." She then smiled. "And then you have me, smack dab in the middle of all of this and ruling several towns! We're pretty much a tight group~!"
"Cool!" Ruby smiled.
"Oh, and Weiss? Remember how it took you a while to get used to all the wacky things that went on in the Mushroom Kingdom?"
"Yeah?"
"I think you're gonna have another culture shock, because I preeeeetty much invited all of Sarasaland to come over."
Weiss smirked. "Bring it on."
Meanwhile…
"So where exactly are you taking us?" Dorothea asked.
"I told you, it's a surprise." Sora smiled. "By the way, have you done something with your hair recently?"
"Oh, I grew it out. Decided to wear something aside from that academy outfit I tended to wear." Dorothea said.
"I have to say, you honestly look better without the hat." Byleth smiled.
"Aw, thanks babe!" Dorothea giggled as they came out of hyperspace as Sora slowly came in for a landing.
"Alright, here we are. Welcome to San Fransokyo!"
BGM: San Fransokyo (Kingdom Hearts III)
"Whoa…" Dorothea said as they got out.
"It's… beautiful." Byleth said. "...Hon, I think I just figured out where I want to go for our honeymoon."
Dorothea snickered. "I don't blame you. It's a beautiful city."
Sora walked up to a garage and knocked on the door. Immediately the garage door opened up as they saw a kid in front of them. "Sora?"
"Hey Hiro!" Sora waved. "Thought I'd drop by with a few friends. I wanted to show them something. Mind if we come in?"
"Oh, sure. I was just talking with my team." He said as the trio walked in.
"Sora!" Honey Lemon smiled happily. "Great to see you again!"
"Hey, you too!" Sora smiled. "Guys, this is Byleth and Dorothea."
"Hi." Byleth smiled.
"Hello!" Dorothea waved.
"Ladies, this is Hiro, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Go Go Tomago and-"
"-Name's Fred!" He quickly got in front of the two. "But you two can call me sir handsome~" He moved his eyebrows up a few times. "How's about the three of us go out sometime?"
"Oh, I'm flattered, but I'm already taken." Byleth giggled.
"Ouch." Wasabi said.
"Aww… well, how about yo-"
"I'm also taken." Dorothea smiled.
"Double ouch." Honey Lemon winced.
"Aw man, who are these lucky men?" Fred slumped.
"I don't know how about any man, but-" Dorothea wrapped her arms around Byleth. "We've taken each other. We're engaged!" She smiled.
"WHAT?!" Fred yelled in shock.
"Ooooh, triple whammy…" Go Go shook her head.
"Oh, congratulations!" Honey smiled while Fred sulked in a corner.
"No fair… they weren't even interested in someone like me…"
"There there, maybe next time." Wasabi patted him on the head.
"So, what did you bring them here for?" Hiro asked.
"Well, I thought I'd show 'em something that could help 'em out, especially Byleth." Sora said.
"Oh?" Byleth tilted her head.
"Speaking of which, where are they?" Sora asked.
"Oh! Let me call 'em up. Baymax!" He called up as the two Baymaxes approached them.
"Oh. My. Goddess. They have sentient puffy marshmallows." Dorothea said.
One Baymax approached the women. "Hello! I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion."
"Scratch that. A sentient talking puffy marshmallow." Dorothea said, but had hearts over her eyes. "But so adorable!"
"Wait… healthcare companion?" Byleth asked.
"Surpriiiiise!" Sora smiled. "Thought you could have some weight off of your shoulders if we took one of these big guys home."
"...Wait, what's this now?' Hiro asked.
"Oh, right, well…" Sora brought him up to speed over the situation.
"Oh, that poor dear… Ruby needs a hug!" Honey said.
"I understand the situation, but I'm not comfortable taking Baymax with you guys." Hiro said.
"So, wait… you're suggesting that this comfy marshmallow take care of our family?" Byleth asked.
"Well, yeah. I mean… you and the family are making sure Ruby's comfortable, you got your therapy going on with Velvet and Seryu, and you're also teaching your little bro the alphabet, right? So why not take some of the load off? He can help you!"
Byleth smiled. "...Oh Sora, I'm honored."
"I'm still not sure about taking one of these two…" Hiro said hesitantly.
"Well, can't you just make a third one?" Sora pointed out.
Hiro smiled. "Well, Tadashi always wanted to have a Baymax in every home. Didn't think he had every world in mind, but this will do!" He said as he went right to work. "Luckily, I still have the data so this won't take too long to program."
End BGM
Back at Sarasaland…
Weiss's eye twitched. "What… what in…" She could only say as she saw some of the residents of Sarsaland coming in for the party. The Pionpis, the Goombos, Bunbuns, Chikakos, Mekabons and the other residents, she could handle.
…Yet she couldn't get past the Bombshell Koopas and Tokotokos.
"Heeeey! You guys all made it!" Daisy waved to the other royalty, and was greeted by a rock thrown at her by Hiyoihoi. Luckily she caught it. "Really?" She looked at him in annoyance.
"Good catch, my dude." He said and walked off to join the party.
Daisy sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "This was a mistake to invite him…"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he's on his best behavior." Totomesu said and walked off after him.
"Talk about lively." Yang smiled.
"I… suppose." Weiss said. Why do these Koopas have bombs on their shells?! AND WHY ARE THERE SENTIENT ROCK HEADS?!
"Had to get it out of your system?" Blake asked. "I know you're screaming about it in your head."
"...A little bit." Weiss mumbled as she saw the other residents of the Mushroom Kingdom showing up, such as the Mario Bros, Peach, several Toads and others.
"Hey you guys!" Daisy waved, happily hugging them, as JNPR walked in along with JINXY, CRDL and several other heroes walking in.
"Ooooh, a dance floor!" Shantae exclaimed.
"Now that's more like it." Cardin said.
"Hey." Russel elbowed Cardin. "You should ask her to dance."
"Nah, dancing's not really my thing… although, I will say… if no one dances with her, I'll pull a Jaune and dance with her with my dignity still intact."
"Pull a Jau-... ooooh…"
"If he looks good in it, then I can probably pull it off too." Cardin said as he walked off.
"What did he mean by that?" A voice asked as Russel looked down to see Laura and Magnolia.
"Eh, don't worry abou-... wait, when did you guys get here?"
"Cardin decided to take me because mom got stuck with a last night shift at the library, so he took me and said I could bring a plus one. So I brought my best friend!"
"Yup!" Magnolia grinned.
"Heh, well, I guess you guys will have a lot of fun here."
Laura and Magnolia wandered over to the dance floor, the latter shifting her head to see Yang casually leaning against the punch bowl and chatting with Claude. "Oh. My. Gosh." She said in awe.
"Hmm?" Laura turned her head. "What's up?'
Magnolia's eyes were sparkling. "I can't believe it's her… the great Yang Xiao Long from Team RWBY!"
"You idolize her? I thought you idolized Coco."
"I've heard a great deal about Yang, how she handles things coolly and doesn't back down from a fight. Oh, it was my dream to meet her!"
Laura grinned. "Well, why don't you go meet her?"
"Uh… aheheh… I'm not sure I want to bother her."
"Well, you're not gonna get an autograph if you don't." Laura pushed her toward Yang.
"Wah! Hey! Don't push me!"
With Weiss…
"Hmm?" Weiss got a text. "Oh hey, that time already? See you guys later!" She walked off, putting Manaphy on Ruby's laugh. "I'll be back soon." She said, kissing him on the forehead and walking off as Manaphy waved goodbye.
"Hey Weiss!" Whitley got her attention as she got up on stage.
"Hmm?" Weiss turned her head. "What's up?"
Whitley motioned her to follow him as she walked backstage. "Got you something." He said, handing her a gift. "You did say you wanted to be a street musician when you're not on active huntress duty." He said with a smile.
Weiss unwrapped it and gasped. "Whitley… it's beautiful!"
"Thought you'd like it. Now hurry on and get changed, we're about to go live soon."
"Right!" Weiss nodded and took off as Cardin, Chelsea and Ling approached him.
"Alright, let's knock 'em dea-... who's the blonde?" Cardin asked.
Kokoro giggled. "It's me, silly!"
"Kokoron?!" The three of them yelled in surprise.
"Whoa… since… when did you change your hair color?" Ling wondered.
"Not to mention your eyes!" Chelsea pointed out.
"Oh… uh, let's just say I kinda stayed under and out the sun for too long." Kokoro giggled.
"Cool, I guess…" Cardin rubbed his head.
Back at the party area, Blake noticed Sun and Neptune walking over. "Hey!" She waved.
"Sup!" Sun grinned.
"Oh hey!" Yang waved.
"Oooh, so the rumors are true." Neptune looked over at Ruby. "New hand and a bit crippled."
"It is what it is." Ruby said. "I'm just rolling with the punches…"
"That's the way to do it!" Sun smiled.
"Yeah, that's how we all roll. Just look at all us Ultimates!" A voice said as they turned to see Ibuki walking in with a grin, and accompanying her were Akane and Hiyoko.
"Hey guys!" Ruby waved.
"Hey Ruby-chan!" Ibuki grinned.
"I'm just here for the refreshme-... ooooh, punch!" Akane took off running.
"We would have brought Chiaki here, but she's currently playing a game that's been following for the longest time." Hiyoko said.
"What game is it?" Yang asked.
With Chiaki…
Chiaki closed her eyes. "Alright, you… you might be a good Batman player and you took out my Harley Quinn… but I've got an ace up my sleeve!" She smirked.
Other side of the screen…
"Oh shoot!" Futaba exclaimed. "Tom and Jerry?! …Wait wait wait, calm down… it's probably someone who just picked up the duo."
Twenty seconds later…
"NOPE! DEFINITELY SOMEONE WHO LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THESE TWO!"
Chiaki smirked. "Got you now, FourEyes!"
Back at the party…
"Eh, some game featuring a bunch of franchises." Hiyoko shrugged.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed as Daisy got on the stage, grabbing the microphone. "Alright, thank you for coming to the Sarasa Party Extravaganza!"
Someone's excited. Peach thought.
"Hope you guys have a fun time here tonight! After all the crap we just went through regarding the Red Sky that had to do with a certain someone's doppleganger, thought it would be best if we all partied to celebrate that the nightmare is finally over!"
She pointed toward Ruby. "We're doing this party for you, Rubes! Rock on, girl! We love ya!"
Immediately, Ruby teared up. "You okay?" Summer asked.
"I… I'm just moved…" Ruby rubbed her eyes as Summer and Rosalina hugged her with a smile.
"And now, ladies and gentleman, to kick start this party off… I give you… Sea5ons!" Daisy called out as the curtains rose to show Sea5ons, plus Mine and Weiss, who was now donning a snow white unzipped hoodie with navy blue details, black paint splatters on the sleeves and an icy blue underside on the hood. The hoodie also had semi-transparent shoulders along with the words "GRACEFUL" written across the middle. She was also wearing a black baseball cap with the Schnee emblem embroidered on the front panel.
"Mana! Mana Mana!" Manaphy cried happily, waving to his mother as Weiss giggled.
"Alright! Let's get this party started!" Whitley exclaimed as everyone cheered.
BGM: Permission to Dance (BTS)
As they started their song, some people started to dance to the song without a care in the world while Ruby chilled near the punch bowl and drank some punch, while watching Jaune and Pyrrha dancing together.
"Excuse me!"
Yang heard a voice as she looked down to see Laura and Magnolia. "Oh hey Laura!" Yang smiled as she knelt down to meet her at eye level. "Nice to see you again!"
"It's nice to see you too, Ms. Yang." Laura smiled.
"It's sure been a while, huh?"
"Yeah! The last time we've seen each other was… that space adventure with the Phazon thing!"
"Mhm! How've you been?"
"Pretty good!"
"That's good." Yang smiled and spotted Magnolia. "Oh, who's your friend?"
"I-I-I…" Magnolia gulped. "I'm Magnolia F-Foxtrot…! I… I'm a… I'm a…"
"Spit it out already, Maggie." Laura gently elbowed her.
"I'm a big fan of you!" She said quickly. "And uh… p-p-please shake my hand!" She extended her arm out while looking nervous and looking away.
"Aww." Yang smiled, ruffling her hair. "Such a cute little kid, aren't ya? Pleasure to meet ya, Magnolia." She said, shaking her hand with a grin.
Laura giggled. "See? You have it all under contro-" She looked to the side and spotted Oran who was also by the punch bowl, chilling with Ruby by her side. "Whoa…"
Oran spotted her looking at him as he curiously tilted his head as Laura approached him. "Hey, nice to meet ya! I'm Laura Winchester! What's your name?"
Oran let out a few simple growls.
"Uh… are you growling at me?"
"Oh, sorry Laura… this is Oran Moss. He… has trouble communicating. It's a long story."
"Oooooooh. I got ya!" Laura smiled. "Nice to meet you, Oran!"
Oran smiled at her, nodding back at her as if he was saying "Nice to meet you too".
End BGM
One song later…
"Alriiiiight, such a wonderful hit from Sea5ons! Next up, we have-"
CRASH!
"I heard you were having a party without me!" A voice said as they turned to see Bowser walking in.
"...Oh no." Daisy groaned.
"What's a party without the King of Dance? A lousy party, that's what!" Bowser boasted as the spotlight shined down in front of Mario. "You." Bowser glared at him. "Plumber! I challenge you a dance off!"
Mario smirked. "Challenge accepted!"
"...Are they seriously doing…" Peach facepalmed. "Ugh… men…"
"Oooh, Ibuki's got a good song for this!" Ibuki hopped on the stage and brought out her phone. "Play this!"
"Uh… okay." Daisy said, pressing the play button.
BGM: Mortal Kombat Theme (Mortal Kombat)
Mario and Bowser got in their stances. "You're going down, plumber."
"Oh, I don't think so!" Mario smirked as Shantae got between them.
"Dancers at the ready! Aaaaand…" She swung her arm down. "DANCE OFF!"
Bowser began by moving his legs in a swift and surprisingly graceful movement as he then went into his shell and spun around before jumping into the air and landing on his hand and spun around before landing back on his feet, smirking at the plumber.
Mario responded by getting on his hands and proceeded to breakdance as he then front flipped and did the splits before getting back up, folding his arms at Bowser.
Bowser rolled his eyes and spun on top of his shell until he got back up and proceeded to do a handstand before retreating into his shell and spun around in a whirlwind before his shell fell as he got out and put his head on his hand in a sexy Bowser pose… only to be in shock while Mario came in doing the moonwalk.
He then spun around and did a few cartwheels as he then proceeded to breakdance and backflipped, using his Fire Brand to add a bit of extra flare before gracefully landing.
Bowser growled, breathing fire on the ground which created a fiery version of a lady as he proceeded to dance with the fire, twirling it around and proceeded to salsa dance with it before the fire disappeared and Bowser finished it off with a split… only to slip when the ground turned to ice as Mario had used Blizzaga on the ground to freeze it up to gracefully ice skate.
Mario proceeded to do a few graceful 360 spins as he then produced a ring of fire as he gracefully jumped through it and then landed, then doing a ballerina kick… only for the ice to melt as he nearly tripped due to Bowser melting it.
Bowser then proceeded to do the Kazotsky Kick while also bringing out several Bob-ombs and tossing them up in the air as he breathed fire at the Bob-ombs, causing them to explode like fireworks… then he jawdropped as Mario produced a fiery inferno that looked exactly like Peach as he salsa danced with her, while also snagging a rose from a vase and putting it in his mouth as they danced while Peach watched on, unsure if she should be amazed or disturbed over what Mario was doing… or if she should feel jealous that he was dancing with a fiery version of her.
Mario spun Fire Peach in the air… until Bowser threw the vase at the fire to extinguish it as he proceeded to spin around in his shell and break danced as Mario did the same… until they both collided into each other as they both glared as sparks flew out of their eyes… before they proceeded to get into a fighting dust cloud with both of them clobbering each other.
Daisy sighed. "I knew this would happen…" She chuckled.
End BGM
Several songs later…
"Alright, thank you, Ibuki and Rosalina for that awesome duet!" Daisy said. "And now, for a popular group from all the way from-"
"We'll be making the introductions here." A voice said as Daisy turned her head.
"Oooh, okay." Daisy nodded as she took a step back as a Blue Octoling took the microphone.
"Yo, what's up? Name's Shiver. This one over here is Frye-"
"Hiya!"
"And the big guy behind us is Big Man."
"Hellooooo!"
"We're Deep Cut! Thought we could make a big impact on you guys by this song that we hold dear to us." Shiver said. "When the human contacted Inkopolis, the Squid Sisters or Off the Hook were currently unavailable at the moment… and Ink Fresh was too busy recording a song, so we intercepted the call and we made our way to this fine place!"
Shiver then smirked. "Alright, enough backstory. Hit it!"
BGM: Anarchy Rainbow (Splatoon 3)
Yang nodded her head to the beat. "Man, I kinda want to dance to this."
"Aww, no fair… I can't dance with one leg." Ruby pouted.
"Ooooh, I'm definitely feeling it!" Daisy said, proceeding to dance to the beat of the song as did several others, where Chelsea would see Yor dancing with a few Pionpis.
"Oh mom…" Chelsea giggled, drinking some punch while Shantae belly danced to her heart's content.
"...Has anyone danced with her yet?" Cardin asked.
"Nope. I'm surprised you haven't." Akame responded.
"That's because I'm not much of a dancer…" Cardin let out a growl. "No one wants to dance with a gorgeous woman like her, huh? Alright, time to destroy my dignity. Ibuki! I need your assistance for a sec!"
"Ooooh! Time for Ibuki to shine~!" Ibuki grabbed Cardin's hand and took off.
"...Where's he going?" Chelsea wondered as Jaune had also noticed this.
"Strange, I'm suddenly having a sense of deja vu." Jaune said while he was dancing with Pyrrha.
In the other room, Ibuki looked at Cardin. "You do realize by doing this, you're throwing your manhood away?"
"I don't care. I said it myself. "If no one dances with Chelsea because I'm not much of a dancer, I'll ask her by pulling a Jaune."
Ibuki giggled. "Why stop at just a dress~?" She smiled, pulling out a large box of makeup and jewelry. "Ibuki's got high heels and fingernail polish too!"
Cardin sweatdropped. "Oh boy… oh, what the hell, let's get this over with. Beautify me, woman!"
"You got it~!" Ibuki grinned.
Back outside, Ruby nodded her head to the beat while also waving her crutches from side to side. "By golly, I'm dancing one way or another!"
"Mana Mana~!" Manaphy cheered as Weiss swung him around during the song, both of them giggling as Yang and Claude swung each other from side to side with grins on their faces while Sun spun Blake around and Hiyoko danced gracefully to the beat of the song.
"Go Hiyoko!" Akane cheered.
End BGM
Shiver grabbed the microphone. "Alriiiiight, you humans and, I'm assuming the rest of you are... Faunus? Anyway, you guys really know how to stay fresh!"
At that moment, Ibuki came walking over and whispered in Ren's ear. "What's that now?" He asked. "Why do you want-... oh... okay, I'll set it up."
"Thanks, you're the best!" Ibuki headed back.
"Alright, thank you Deep Cut! Now for our next o-"
"Mind if I take a crack at it?" Ren spoke up as he walked to the stage.
"Ren? ...Oh my gosh, I did not know you're a singer!" Nora exclaimed.
"I'm not. But this next song goes out to a special someone out in the audience. Chelsea Neves!"
"Huh?" Chelsea wondered as Ren pressed the play button.
BGM: Shine (RWBY)
"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!" Ibuki opened up the door. "Ibuki gives you... the prettiest man in all of Sarasaland! Chelsea-chan is one lucky woman!"
Cardin stepped out, wearing a light red strapless ballgown, showing off his chest, complete with blue trim and the bottom was wavy. He also wore fingerless red gloves that went up to his elbows, while also showing off his sparkly purple fingernails as the ballgown had a cardinal brooch. He wore foundation, eyeshadow, blue lipstick, sapphire earrings and black high heels.
To complete the look, he also was wearing a tiara over his head.
Coco lifted up her shades. "What in the..." She snickered before whistling. "Lookin' good, big guy!"
"That's unfortunate..." Qrow said.
"Hmm, I had no idea Mr. Winchester, of all people, was into expressing himself." Ozpin mused. "Good for him."
"Big bro, what the heck are you wearing?!" Laura asked, completely mortified by what she was seeing.
Chelsea stared at Cardin. "Cardin...? Wh-why are you wearing a dress?!"
"Since I'm not much of a dancer, I figured someone else would have done the dancin' for me by dancing with you, but I also made a promise that I would willingly humiliate myself just to dance with you, so here I am, pulling the same thing as Jaune did! You want to know why? Because we Winchesters don't care about dignity!"
"...And just like that, my respect for him is at an all time high." Jaune said with a proud smile.
"So, Chelsea Neves, will you do me the honor of being my dancing partner this evening!"
Chelsea blushed before bursting out laughing to the point where she was in tears. "You didn't have to go this far to lose your dignity..." She smiled. "But yes, I'll dance with you, big lug!"
"THE LADY SAID YES!" Dove yelled.
"Make some room, people! It's their time to shine!" Russel declared, all the while Hiyoko snapped a photo with her phone and texted Mahiru.
"Too bad you didn't want to come. You missed out on the entertainment."
"Eh, dances aren't my thing. I'm sure the entertainment is kinda "meh"."
Hiyoko sent the photo.
"Guess again~!"
"OMG, IS THAT CARDIN?!"
"Yup!"
"ON MY WAY. I GOTTA SNAP SOME PHOTOS OF THIS! LOL!"
Cardin and Chelsea made their way to the dance floor, and then they proceeded to dance as Cardin immediately spun Chelsea around, both of them smiling.
"Oh, my daughter grows up so fast..." Yor sighed happily.
"I thought you weren't much of a dancer."
"I'm not. Doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two." Cardin grinned, grabbing Chelsea and picking her up, spinning her around before the two made eye contact and nodded, as Cardin swung her down as Chelsea slid between his legs as Cardin turned around and picked Chelsea back up.
Whitley whistled. "Go Cardin! Make Sea5ons proud!" He cheered while Kokoro giggled, snapping a few photos on her scroll as Laura joined her.
At that moment, Mahiru came running in. "Hah... hah... did I miss it?"
"No, you're right on time. You got here quick." Hiyoko said.
"I used a P Wing to get here." Mahiru explained, proceeding to snap photos of the duo. "How the hell is he doing all of that in heels?"
"That's what I wanna know!" Sun said.
"How are you doing this in heels?" Chelsea wondered, spinning Cardin around.
"I just have good balance." Cardin smiled, proceeding to waltz with her and then spun her around.
"You think you can do that with heels on?" Pyrrha gave him a teasing smile.
"You kidding? I tried that once as a kid, broke my ankle when Saffron dared me to run in 'em." Jaune said, causing Pyrrha to laugh. "It's not that funny... okay, maybe it is."
Cardin proceeded to finish the dance by having both of then spin until Cardin caught Chelsea, bending her over and holding her, both of them looking each other in the eyes.

"Now that is how you do it." Daisy grinned as everyone cheered and clapped for the duo.
"Now that's a heck of a way to finish it." Yang said.
"Alright, keep that momentum up! I gotta go do something real quick." Daisy ran off as everyone continued to dance... while Cardin and Chelsea headed off and found themselves on a balcony.
Chelsea giggled. "I have to say, you actually pull that off rather well."
"Ah, you can thank Ibuki for that."
Chelsea giggled again. "I can see that." She said, both of them looked off at the night sky together.
"Chelsea..." Cardin rubbed his arm. "There's... something I gotta tell you."
"Hmm?"
BGM: Rejoice In Love (Fire Emblem Fates)
"I know we still technically haven't done our first date yet, but.. I just want you to know, that... You're the prettiest woman I know..."
Chelsea smiled, blushing. "And you're the prettiest guy I know..."
"And... there's something else I want to say. I lo-"
Chelsea put a finger to his lips. "Shh. You don't have to say it. Because I've felt this way about you a long time..."
Cardin gently caressed her hair. "So have I..."
Chelsea smiled sweetly at him, until both of them closed their eyes and leaned in, wrapping their arms around each other.
A firework shot up in the night sky and exploded right as Cardin and Chelsea's lips met for the first time. Unbeknownst to them all, RDL, ATM, Kokoro, Whitley, Ling and Yor watched this from inside.
"That's our guy." Russel smiled as Mine and Akame fist bumped each other while Yor could hardly contain herself.
"Oooh, why do I always cry during sappy stuff..." Yor sniffed.
Kokoro's ears twitched as she looked to see Ling sniffling. "Ling, are you crying?"
"Yes...!"
At that moment, Yukina popped out of Kokoro's bag and leapt into Ling's arms, nuzzling against her chest.
Down below, Daisy had lit up the fireworks as everyone else had walked outside and watched the light show unfold.
"It's beautiful." Ruby smiled.

"Heeeeeey!" A voice called out as Ruby would see Sora, Byleth and Dorothea approached them where Byleth was carrying a red box.
"Shoot, did we miss the dance?" Dorothea asked.
"Eh, it's fine. We arrived fashionably late." Byleth smiled as Ruby and her family approached them.
"What's with the red box?" Summer asked.
"Thought you guys needed a boost in case if y'all are feeling down." Sora said. "These two approved, so it's all good." He then nodded at Byleth who gently knelt down and put it down, then she pressed a button as a familiar white robot inflated in front of them.
"...A marshmallow?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Hello! I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion."
"A talking marshmallow." Maia blinked. "That's new."
"Say hello to Baymax the third!" Sora smiled. "...Long story."
"Whoa..." Ruby poked Baymax. "Squishy!"
"Identifying: Hello Ruby Rose. I see you are in crutches. What seems to be ailing you?"
"A broken hip."
A screen popped up on Baymax's chest, showing a scale of one to ten. "On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?"
"Eh... four? Six? Depends on the day..."
"Diagnosis: Staying off of that foot and some painkillers will alleviate the pain."
Ruby chuckled. "I've already been doing that."
"That is good!" Baymax then looked at Summer. "...Hmm. That is peculiar."
"Hmm?"
"I am not detecting a heartbeat from you."
"Oh, that's because I'm dead."
"And yet, you are still alive. Perhaps you are just depressed and you feel dead. My diagnosis? A hug!" Baymax hugged Summer.
"Oh! Thank you... goodness, you're soft!"
Sora grinned. "Cute, isn't he?"
"He sure is!" Yang chuckled.
"...What are those people doing?" Baymax wondered.
"Oh, they're watching fireworks and dancing." Tai said.
"What is... dancing?"
Yang laughed. "Come on, big lug. We'll show ya!" She took his arm and headed off with the others, leaving Summer, Ruby, Byleth and Dorothea behind.
"So, what'd we miss?" Byleth asked.
"Cardin wore a dress and danced with Chelsea." Ruby explained.
"We missed that?! Is he still wearing that dress, I wanna take a look for myself." Dorothea walked off with Byleth right behind her.
"Come on, let's go check to make sure Yang and Raven arent teaching Baymax any inappropriate dance moves." Summer giggled as she walked off.
"Be there in a sec!" Ruby said and watched the fireworks. "Hmm, I think it's prettier without the castle obstructing the view."
"Hey Rubes!" Shantae walked over to her.
"Oh, hey Shantae. What's up?"
"I've been meaning to talk to ya about something." She said. "See, I received an invitation to go to this island for a Half Genie Festival. I was wondering if you wanted to come."
Summer stopped walking, overhearing the conversation. "Huh?"
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah! It's gonna be a lot of fun. Sky and Bolo are on board, though I can't get a hold of Rotty for some reason. Eh, I'm sure she's snacking on someone's brain." Shantae shrugged. "You wanna come with? It'll get your mind off things after what had happened a few days ago."
Ruby smiled. "Are you kidding? I'd love to go!"
Summer turned to the two with concern all over her face. "Ruby, what are you doing...?"
