Blake and Yang were currently sitting at their table with Ruby and Weiss, enjoying the fun conversations with Lindsay and Kara who were with them. Arryn was up at the head table with Barbara and the rest of the wedding party. Everyone was having so much fun eating, drinking, and sharing stories together now that the ceremony was over and the fun part of the night had begun. Barbara and Trevor had exchanged beautiful vows to each other and were now joined together in marriage, and neither of them could stop smiling from the moment they shared their first kiss after saying "I do."
And now the time had come for the bride and groom to share their first dance, so Trevor offered his hand to Barbara and the two of them walked out onto the dance floor together, the entire world vanishing from their minds as they stared longingly into each others eyes while slowly rotating on the spot. All eyes were on them and how perfect they looked together. They truly were soulmates as Barbara regularly said.
Blake slipped her hand under the table and placed it into Yang's, both ladies smiling at each other lovingly for a moment as their minds were slowly flooding with private thoughts for each other and how much they were in love too. Seeing Barbara and Trevor like that had both of them thinking how much they'd like to be in their place at some point, but whatever they were both thinking would remain private for the time being.
As Barbara and Trevor's first dance was winding own and they both engaged in a deep kiss, everyone in the room applauded for them. Once they clapping died down and the happy couple was able to wave to everyone in thanks, another song started up, a much faster one. Yang and Blake's eyes met and both knew what the other was thinking, it was time to get up and move their hips together.
"Let's go kitty cat, this is the part of the night I've been waiting for," said Yang standing up and pulling Blake with her, who did not offer any resistance.
Weiss and Ruby both stayed put for a bit and just watched while laughing, thinking how cute their friends looked as Yang took Blake's hips and Blake put her hands around Yang's neck. Eventually more and more people joined in on the dance floor, even Ruby despite not being much of a dancer, but she still looked like she was having fun with the crowd. She definitely had the most noticeable footwear on with her boots sticking out like a sore thumb. But they were also getting her lots of compliments on how cool they looked. Blake and Yang even got to dance with both Barbara and Trevor at one point, getting a few pictures from the wedding photographer which Barbara promised to have copies printed out for both of them. In between dances while Yang was chumming it up with Trevor, Barbara was pulling Blake aside for some a quick private talk.
"So how are the two of you doing? Things seem to be going pretty well, you can't keep your hands or eyes off each other," said Barbara knowingly, to which Blake blushed deeply.
"I know, Yang really is something else and I can't stop myself from wanting to be around her all the time, I've never been so in love before," said Blake in a longing voice while sneaking a look over at Yang with Trevor who were laughing about something funny apparently.
"So how long until Trevor and I are making a little trip to Remnant for your version of this night with Yang?" asked Barbara slyly, nudging Blake a bit. "I see how crazy about you Yang is too, and when you wear a drop dead gorgeous dress like this nobody can blame her."
Blake blushed again at Barbara's words, knowing in her heart how much she would love to have her own version of this day with Yang, but not sure they were quite there yet. Sure they'd been together for a while now, but they were still both pretty young and happy the way things were. That's not to say she would have any reason to say no if a certain question was asked.
"I don't know about that, and of course when and if that time comes you two and of course Arryn, Lindsay, and Kara will be invited," said Blake with her ears wiggling happily.
"Sounds like you've already given the idea a bit of thought to some extent," said Barbara with a bit of a smirk while Arryn suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
"Hey there gorgeous, you don't think your girlfriend would mind if I steal you for a dance would she?" asked Arryn offering her hand to Blake.
Blake looked over at Yang who was still engaged in some kind of fun conversation with Trevor, their heads pretty close together as if they were whispering about something and didn't want anyone else to hear whatever it was.
"Yeah that sounds wonderful, I think Yang can manage a few more minutes without me, she looks like she's having pretty fun right now," said Blake accepting Arryn's hand.
"You two get out there and turn some heads, I think I'm gonna go talk to Yang a bit myself and then join the two of you," said Barbara nodding towards Yang. "The four of us will show this wedding some real bad ass girl power."
While Blake and Arryn stepped out onto the dance floor together and started moving their hips side by side, Yang went over to stand beside her new husband and talk to Yang, all of them smiling happily as Yang told Barbara everything she'd just been discussing with Trevor. Barbara looked pretty happy and excited about whatever it was before telling Trevor that she and Yang were going to join Blake and Arryn to give all the guests one hell of a good show.
"Let's go blondie, we've got two dark haired babes that need our help in stealing the show," said Yang taking Barbara's hand and pulling her towards Blake and Arryn.
As if it was set up and ready to go, the DJ started up a fast paced song and everyone else on the dance floor started to back away once they all realized the four ladies were gathering together. Every eye in the room was on them and several phones were being taken out to take pictures and record what was happening, along with Ruby and Weiss both taking out their scrolls. Blake and Yang had their hands together over their heads while they moved their hips and bellies against each other, Arryn and Barbara right beside them both bumping their hips together then turning the other way to do the same thing. They all took turns trading partners and dancing together, in pairs, individually, and so on to work the crowd into a fit of cheers and applause. The whole room was loving the show and the girls were having such a blast dancing and entertaining them, at one point it was Blake and Arryn again with Yang and Barbara paired up, making a great photo for the wedding photographer. After a while the ladies started to get tired after a couple songs, needing a break as they all stopped dancing. But Yang wasn't quite done ramping up the crowd, for right at that moment she grabbed Blake's hand and pulled her into a deep kiss right in front of everyone, earning another round of loud cheers and wolf whistling. When they broke apart after several moments they both had bright grins on their faces while gazing into each other's eyes.
"Not sure what brought that on but it was amazing," said Blake almost in a daze while Yang gently stroked her cheek.
"Just wanted to remind you that I love you, and to give all these people the message that you're all mine and I'm not sharing," said Yang suggestively, earning a light chuckle from Arryn and Barbara who heard and approved.
"Come on ladies, why don't the four of us go get a drink, we had strawberry sunrise added specifically for you Yang," said Barbara as others started to make their way onto the dance floor again, including Trevor with a few of his buddies. Looks like they were going to do some kind of skit next.
The four ladies each got their drinks from the bartender and headed outside to get some fresh air, the nighttime making the horizon look so beautiful with the stars and the moon, fully intact unlike Remnant's moon.
"It's still pretty weird seeing your moon as opposed to our own, we're not used to seeing one that is fully intact," said Blake looking up at the sky and pointing to it.
"You think that's something, decades ago before we were born, right here in Texas, humans were able to send people all the way to that moon and bring them back here to Earth," said Blake matter of factly, sipping her drink.
This made Blake and Yang's eyes open pretty wide at this information. They came from a world that had faunus, semblances, dust, and so much other stuff, but that was something else.
"Are you serious, people were actually able to travel to that moon that I'm guessing is hundreds of thousands of miles away, and then come back, now that is amazing," said Yang looking up again. "That must have been one hell of a moonwalk."
All the ladies chuckled a bit at Yang's pun, something Arryn was more than used to having spent all kinds of time with Barbara.
"It's so uncanny how similar you two are, I love it so much," said Arryn raising her drink and taking a sip.
Yang put her arm around Blake's waist so they could lean against each other while all the four ladies chatted, just enjoying this rare occasion where the four of them could spend time together on the same world.
They talked about Arryn's growing career ever since she left Rooster Teeth, Barbara shared some of the stuff she was currently working at with Rooster Teeth, one of which being a cute puppet show called Stinky Dragon, also sharing where she and Trevor were going for their honeymoon. Blake and Yang told them about all the missions they'd been undertaking lately and how they were living together. Arryn and Barb seemed pretty intrigued by the bizarre plant/horse Grimm they hunted down and killed around Beacon a few months ago, needing to hear all the gruesome details of what that Grimm was like.
After a while all four ladies finished their drinks and thought it was time to head back inside, after all the bride couldn't stay away for too long otherwise people would wonder where she ran off to. As everyone turned to head back towards the reception, Yang grabbed Blake's hand and held her there.
"Why don't you two go on ahead, I think I'd like to enjoy this Earth night with Blake alone for a few more minutes, just really soak it all up," said Yang smiling lightly at Arryn and Barbara.
Arryn and Barbara gave each other a look with a light smile before nodding at Yang, turning to head back inside together where Trevor was waiting, apparently watching from the door for the last couple minutes.
"Mmmmmm, this is nice, now just the two of us," said Yang happily while pulling Blake back against her side.
Blake didn't resist and put one of her arms around Yang's waist too, setting her empty glass on the table beside them.
"Want to sit down over there?" asked Yang gesturing towards a nice bench overlooking the horizon and starry sky.
"Sounds purrfect," said Blake slyly, sneaking in a pun of her own with a smirk.
Yang shot Blake a look of approval and a little chuckle as they walked over to the bench to sit down.
"I love you so much, that was great," said Yang happily as she moved her arm around Blake's shoulder, Blake leaning her head against Yang's.
"It feels so surreal still that we have the ability to be together like this, sometimes I wake up and still can't believe how lucky I am to have found you and have you in my life," said Yang as they both stared up at the night sky.
"Tell me about it, with the oppression I grew up with as a faunus along with my time in the White Fang, and then later everything we went through together to save Remnant, this all still feels like a dream," said Blake in a happy voice, putting her hand on Yang's leg.
"I don't think I could picture my life without you from this point on, and to be honest I hope I never have to," said Yang adjusting herself a little bit to get more comfortable.
Blake closed her eyes a bit as she leaned against Yang, hoping the same thing.
"I don't think the two god brothers of light and darkness could pry me away from you at this point, I love you too much Yang," said Blake softly.
"Remember the moment we first kissed and confessed that we loved each other, being on that windy bridge in the Ever After where nothing at all made sense?" asked Yang as she recalled the moment happily.
"Of course, that was the craziest place I've ever been to or seen in my life, and despite what we went through there and dealing with that pesky cat, I still am so glad we ended up there. Because I get to remember it as the place where we first declared our love for each other and shared our first kissed," said Blake slowly, opening her eyes back up to look over at Yang.
"I'll always remember that moment fondly, something I'll never forget, and it's kinda funny how our first big moment together happened outside of Remnant," said Yang tilting her head a bit at that thought. Blake giggled a bit at the realization too.
"Yeah that's true, through all the amazing memories we've built together on Remnant, the one that could be considered our biggest ever happened on another world," said Blake smiling.
"Yeah, and as amazing as that moment on another world was, maybe we can create a new one in this world right here right now that's just as big," said Yang as she turned to look at Blake, who suddenly realized Yang was reaching her free hand underneath the bench for something.
Blake tried to get a look at what Yang was doing, but before she could her eyes shot open so wide they almost fell out of her head. Yang moved off the bench and kneeled down right in front of her. Blake shrieked and brought her hands up to her mouth at what was happening, tears threatening to run down her cheek and ruin her makeup.
"Blake, we've been through so much ever since we met, ups and downs, but no matter what life has thrown at us we've gone through it together and always emerge victorious. Even immortal magical beings haven't been able to keep us from being together and from loving each other more than anything. Like I just said moments ago, I can't imagine my life without you, nor do I want to. So I thought I'd take the big step to ensure that never has to even be a possibility," said Yang as she revealed the item hidden underneath the bench was a small jewelry box. She opened it up and revealed a beautiful diamond ring that wasn't your typical design. It was a gold band with a little diamonds going halfway down both sides, getting slightly bigger as they made their way to the top where the centerpiece of the ring lay. Rather than a traditional diamond it was a bumblebee, and it's wings were made of sapphire gems. One half was black the other half was yellow, the color of a bee and also Blake and Yang's respective colors. "Here on this world these Earthlings that know of us refer to us as Bumblebee like my old motorcycle, and with our respective favorite colors, I think that's just beautiful. And after I lost my motorcycle helping you, I can't think of a better way to replace it than with this ring. So Blake Belladona, will you marry me?"
Blake just sat there in shock and happiness staring at the beautiful ring that was being offered to her, in complete disbelief that this was happening. The woman she loved with all her nine lives wanted to marry her and was taking that step right now. There wasn't a force in the entire universe that could stop her from accepting.
"Yes, yes yes yes Yang, yes I will marry you," said Blake through her tears of happiness.
Yang was smiling so brightly as she stood up and pulled Blake to her, the newly engaged couple kissing so deeply with their arms flying around each other. The moon shined bright on them as they kissed, some might even say the stars started to twinkle a little bit for them. Yang had a few tears of joy fall out of her eyes too as their lips eventually separated. They gazed into each other's eyes once more before Yang took the ring out of the box and offered it to Blake, slipping it onto her finger for them both to admire, a symbol of their love and commitment to each other.
"I love you Yang, this is the greatest day of my nine lives," said Blake as they kissed again eagerly, holding each other tightly.
After several more long moments they pulled apart, and that's when they both got another surprise. Right at that moment several people were walking out from behind a secluded area and applauding. Blake and Yang looked over and saw both Ruby and Weiss rushing to them, along with Lindsay, Kara, Arryn, Barbara, and Trevor as well, Lindsay having her phone out and had apparently recorded the whole thing for them.
"Oh my red hood, my big sister is engaged, this is so amazing," said Ruby ecstatically, using her semblance to rush forward and hug them both before anyone else could, wanting to see the ring on Blake's finger.
Weiss was hustling right behind Ruby and also hugged both Blake and Yang tightly, thinking the ring was one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry she'd ever seen.
"It looks absolutely perfect, I can't think of anything that would suit you better, I'm so happy for you both," said Weiss almost crying herself as all four members of Team RWBY embraced each other in a group hug.
"Congratulations you two, this is such an amazing moment and I'm so happy we were all here to witness it," said Lindsay putting her phone away, saying she'd send them the video later.
"When we found out Yang was going to propose tonight we were all so excited, it was so hard to contain my happiness," said Kara practically squealing.
"Barbara and myself were certainly happy to play our role in making it happen without arousing suspicion," said Arryn smiling happily at Barbara.
"Indeed, the fact that the two of you are getting engaged at my own wedding, and that I was able to help, just makes this day even more amazing for me," said Barbara as she took Trevor's hand and leaned against him.
Blake looked confused all of a sudden, but looking at Yang she realized there was more going on because all Yang could do was smirk.
"What did you do, you planned this somehow didn't you?" said Blake accusingly but still smiling.
Yang looked over at Trevor who stepped forward to reveal his role in all this.
"Well, while I was talking to Yang inside earlier she told me about her little plan and how she wanted to propose while you four were here," said Trevor smiling happily. "Barbara actually told me after the ceremony that earlier Yang whispered she wanted to propose tonight while the four of you were in the bridal chambers together taking pictures, but would of course do it in a way that wouldn't draw away attention from our own wedding. Hence waiting until tonight during the reception while everyone is partying. She informed me that at some point Yang would come to me with her plan, so while you were talking with Barbara inside moments ago, Yang gave me the ring to bring out here and hide under that bench you were just sitting on. I passed the word onto Arryn before she came over to you and Barbara, knowing their job would be to keep you distracted on the dance floor while I did my part. I discreetly passed the world to Ruby, Weiss, Lindsay, and Kara that Yang wanted to propose, and then slipped out here to hide the ring underneath that bench so it'd be ready when Yang was. Since the four of you spent a few songs dancing and were the center of attention it gave me plenty of time to do everything I needed without you or anyone else noticing anything. And now here we all are."
Blake's mouth dropped as she listened to Trevor explain everything Yang had somehow been planning throughout the day, and had done so with complete discretion to avoid any arousing suspicion. She looked to her new fiancé at a complete loss for words, more tears about to fall from her eyes.
"I know, it's quite a lot to take in, but I love you Blake, and I wanted to do this tonight while we were with our friends from both our home and Earth," said Yang smiling. "We all get to enjoy this wedding and our new engagement together."
"So how about one more big photo of all of you to cap off this memorable night," came the voice of the wedding photographer, who had just come from inside the reception holding her high tech camera.
"Absolutely, everyone gather together, this is a moment we're all going to remember forever," said Ruby practically jumping up and down.
Everyone started to gather together, Blake, Yang, Barbara, and Trevor in the center together, with Ruby and Weiss on one side, Lindsay, Kara, and Arryn on the other side. Everyone was wearing such big happy smiles it was as if they could wipe out all the Grimm on Remnant without even being there.
"Okay everyone, look this way and keep those smiles nice and bright," said the photographer after positioning everyone. "So many amazing colors in this shot, I love it so much, this one might have to go in a professional photo gallery."
Blake held up her ring hand to show off the shiny new gem on her finger while everyone else beamed towards the camera, Yang slipping her arm around Blake's waist from behind. Sneaking a kiss onto her cheek and whispering 'I love you' into her ear before looking back at the camera.
"Everyone say Wedding," said the photographer.
"Wedding," everyone said in perfect unison as the camera clicked away, immortalizing an image that nobody was going to be forgetting about for the rest of their lives.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was the day after Barbara and Trevor's wedding, and Blake and Yang's engagement, so it was now time for the members of Team RWBY to head back home, and for Barbara and Trevor to head off on their honeymoon. Everyone wished they could spend a bit more time together, but unfortunately everyone had to get back to their regular lives, plus there was a big announcement for Blake and Yang to make to their respective families once they returned home to Remnant.
"Well, I guess this is it until next time," said Barbara to everyone as Team RWBY stood before the portal that would take them home.
Everyone moved forward for a big group hug, nobody could tell whose arms belonged to who as they just embraced for several long moments before slowly pulling away one by one.
"We can't wait to see all of you again, and remember to check out my streams in the future, they're so much fun to make for you Earthlings," said Ruby happily with a bright smile before turning to walk through the portal.
"There's always room in Atlas for all of you to visit my mansion if you ever want to come over to our side," said Weiss with a grin. "We've got more than enough rooms and food to accommodate everyone, especially if you love cake." With one last wave Weiss turned and walked through the portal herself.
Blake and Yang then stepped forward together hand in hand, Yang running her thumb over Blake's new engagement ring.
"This has been, by far, the most amazing trip I've ever been on in my life," said Blake happily. "All of you will of course be invited to the wedding in Remnant, but we're going to need some time to sort out all the plans, so keep your schedules open in the future."
Everyone nodded their hands to indicate they'd be there no matter what.
"We wouldn't miss it for anything," said Arryn as she stepped forward to hug Blake and Yang.
"You can consider us all as confirmed guests because there's no way we won't be there," said Barbara stepping forward next to hug them both as well.
Yang took Blake's hand again after Barbara stepped back, ready to head back to their home together.
"We love you all, but it's time for us to buzz off," said Yang smiling and rubbing Blake's ring again.
With that Blake and Yang both turned around and stepped into the portal together, waving behind them at their Earthling friends before arriving once again on Remnant with Ruby and Weiss. They were home and ready to share with the rest of their world that they were engaged.
"So who do we tell first?" asked Yang as they all started walked together.
"Oh, what about Zwei, he'll be so excited," suggested Ruby, to which Blake rolled her eyes.
"As long as he finally accepts that I'm not a chew toy," said Blake smiling lightly as she wiggled her cat ears in the wind.
The four ladies all laughed together happily as they walked off with bright futures ahead of them, two of them happier than they'd ever been in their entire lives hand in hand.
