Hello again everyone! Sorry you had to wait a year and a half for the last chapter, but Hey ho, can't force myself to write. Which is sad! Cause I really like Writing.
Anyway, enjoy and stuff I guess!
Friday - 11am. Day Of Womanpalooza.
"That should do it." Reese beamed happily as Nolan just pinned up the last of the decorations "Good work." She threw him a thumbs up and twirled around slowly, taking in the scenery of the hall.
The walls were covered in balloons and poster with encouraging female quotes. There were several tables with various bottles spread across, varying from wine to tequila. There was a designated dance floor which was being illuminated by different coloured lights that shone through the light smoke from the smoke machine that Nolan had somehow acquired.
"I really appreciate the help, Nolan." She turned to face him "How'd you even get the smoke machine and lights?"
Nolan shrugged, a small smile crept on his face, much like it does every time Reese complimented him "I just asked the theatre students if we could borrow them. Seeing as most of them are planning on coming tonight, they let us use them."
"Hehe, this is going to be an amazing event for all the woman on this campus who are tired of being oppressed by the males of this world." Reese announced gleefully "Oh! How do I look?" Her expression softened and she looked up at her best friend.
The boy hoped she couldn't see how his cheeks had turned to the same colour as his hair "You look beautiful..." He managed a whisper.
The girl wore a a short green dress that hugged her body in all the right places. It's puffed up shoulders moving into a V-cut, revealing the shorter girls cleavage. The hem was frilled and adorned by a pattern of flowers. It was more of a summer dress, but man was she cute.
"Thanks Nolan! I wasn't sure if I should've worn tights or just let the legs free." She finished with a laugh, not noticing the boys gaze travel down to her legs.
"Umm..." He quickly picked up his jaw and looked away before she noticed "Anyway, tonight should be a lot of fun." He said in a sad tone.
Reese frowned slightly "You know it's no men allowed. I thought we'd been through this."
"I know. I guess I just wanted to spend your big moment with you." He admitted, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Hasn't helping me organise and plan it been enough?" She countered.
A feeling of pain washed over Nolan and his hands slowly made their way to his side. He went to speak, but managed to stop himself. Is that really all he is to her? A helping hand? Suddenly a wide smile appeared and made eye contact "You know what. You're right, It has been enough." He said with a weak laugh. Before Reese could reply, he had already turned to leave.
Nolan walked out of the hall, down a few corridors and out of the building. He let out a sigh and started walking in a random direction "This sucks." He muttered, clutching at his chest. Hopefully a drink would cheer him up, although he doubted it.

Friday 11:30am
Cardin clinked his glass against his housemates and took a mouthful from his beer. Russel had somehow convinced him to go for a midday pint and they were currently sat out front of the regular bar. He had already done his daily workout and morning lectures, so why not go for a drink with his friend.
"Man! This is the life." Russel smiled happily "Am I right?" He took a swig from his own pint.
Cardin shrugged "It's alright I suppose." He responded nonchalantly.
His mohawked friend laughed "The sun, the beer and the company. What could be better?"
"Yeah yeah." He couldn't hide the smile. There were only so many things Cardin could tolerate in this world and Russel was lucky enough to be one of those things "I'll admit that the sun and beer is nice."
"Ouch." Russel smirked "Not going to replace me, are you?"
"We're just friends." Cardin replied.
"Tch, aren't we all 'just friends'?" Interrupted the lone boy on the table next to them.
"Umm, excuse me?" A confused Russel asked the boy, Realising who the guy was and also noticing the empty glasses on his table "Nolan? Everything good, man?"
"The guy the feminist has on a leash?" Cardin asked and Russel answered with a nod.
"Not anymore!" Nolan sobbed into the table, almost knocking a glass over. Russel and Cardin looked at each other and both rolled their eyes, getting up to sit with the upset boy.
"Hey, it's gonna be fine." Russel spoke calmly, trying to comfort Nolan "Wanna talk to us, get it off your chest?"
"Why am I not good enough for her?" Nolan cried dramatically "I need another drink." He went to get up but a strong grip held him down.
"I'll get this round." Cardin got up "Russ is good at helping people. Talk to him." He instructed the redhaired boy.
Cardin walked in to the building and straight up to the bar "Three of Vale's finest, please." He ordered.
"Coming right up!" Replied the cheery ginger behind the bar.
The male began to zone out, just absentmindedly listening to the conversations around him. 'I wonder what Ruby's up to...'
"Octavia, are you going to that event tonight?" The bar staff asked her co-worker as she poured his pints.
"Womanpalooza?" The long scarlet haired girl responded "Nah, what's the point of going if there's no men?" Octavia responded.
"Wellll~ I wouldn't be so sure that there's gonna be no men." The ginger laughed mischievously "Just between us, I've heard that some guys are gonna sneak in."
Cardin's ears perked up.
"Nora, what do you know?" Octavia laughed "I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out then."
Nora placed the drinks in front of him "12 Lien, please." She smiled.
Cardin pulled out his wallet and looked down at Nora, leaning in and getting close "People are going to sneak in to Womanpalooza?" He asked.
A smirk grew on the gingers face "Depends, who's asking?"
He pulled a 20 from his wallet and slid it across "I'm asking."
Nora picked up the Lien and pocketed it without a word. She grabbed some paper and wrote down a number, sliding the note over to him.
"Cheers." He thanked the girl, picked up the drinks and left.

Friday 13:11pm.
"Are you all ready for tonight?" Ilia asked the four boys.
The group were organising their outfits for the night in Jaune's dorm room because it was the closest to the event. They each had their chosen dresses and wigs all laid out and were just waiting for the event to start.
"I'm so ready." Jaune answered.
"As am I." Ren added.
Sun groaned "I'm pretty sure you two were born for this." He looked down at his outfit, not really sure what would work so he had the others choose for him. A long black, fitted waist dress with a slit going up the right thigh with a long raven tress of a wig to match. "This is embarrassing." He whined.
"Oh you're going to look great." Ilia grinned "Neptune, all good?"
"I think so." The bluenette sounded unsure "I feel like a shot would calm my nerves." Holding up the blue summer dress he had picked out "Maybe two shots."
"Grow up." Ren rolled his eyes, being the only one who was already dressed. He was dressed in long green kimono with a lotus pattern. A large purple sash was wrapped around his waist and tied into a bow. His usual straight hair was now tied up into a bun with kanzashi holding in it place.
"We can't all look as good as you." Neptune quipped back "Seriously, if I didn't know it was you Ren, I'd be all over you."
"You can say that again." Ilia growled playfully "Either way, I'm sure you're all going to look fantastic. Ren especially so."
"Thanks."
"Now, I have to go and help Reese so she doesn't get suspicious. She may be crazy but she's still a friend." An audible groan escaped her lips "As much as I'd love to stay here and hang out. You remember the plan?" She turned to Jaune.
"Plan?" He questioned "You mean the plan where we just walk in through the entrance? Yeah, got it." He replied sarcastically.
"Good. See you there." She rolled her eyes, leaving the four boys alone.
"This is going to suck." Sun whined again, like a broken record that's stuck on repeat.
The group collectively whined "Can you get over it, we've done worse shit." Neptune spoke "Let's just be glad that we're doing this together."
"I just wish there was more of us." Sun explained "What would the boys say if they saw us dressed like this?"
"Probably who's the hot Mistrallian chick with those three crossdressers." Jaune laughed and a small smile crept on to Ren's face "You'll be fine once you get a drink down you."
"We'll see."
Jaune's phone started to ring and he picked it up, raising an eyebrow at the caller 'Cardin'. His face soon dropped when he remembered he forgot to run by the crossdressing social by him. "Shit." He cursed. He hit the answer button and held the phone to his ear "Cardin." He greeted cautiously "...Yeah this Is Jaune?... Wait what?... Hell yeah, come over... See ya in a bit!" Jaune ended the call and grinned towards his group "Good news boys!"

Friday 15:00pm
Ruby was being dragged dress shopping by her sister and her friends and she was bored "Do you all normally go this overboard when there's an event?" She questioned the group as she lazily sat outside the changing rooms "Buying a whole new dress for one night is wild." She scrolled aimlessly through her phone.
"We cant all just pick out the first outfit we see, Rubes." Yang tried to explain "Take Weiss for instance, girls rich enough to wear a different dress for each day of the year. Stupid enough to do it too." She added with a playful wink which caused her little sister to giggle.
"I heard that!" Came Weiss' annoyed tone from within the changing room.
"I have enough outfits already." Ruby countered "I'm not really the most materialistic girl. I'm more of a gym shorts and vest kind of girl."
"You'll never find a boyfriend being a gym rat." Yang smirked, ruffling her hair up "You're seventeen now. You need to start living your life a bit more."
"Says who? Also, I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm happy as I am." Ruby groaned.
"Leave her alone Yang." Weiss emerged from the curtain wearing the cutest white dress with a snowflake pattern going around the hem "We'd be lucky if she doesn't turn out anything like you."
"Agreed." Blake added calmly, exiting the neighbouring changing room wearing a long sleeved purple cocktail dress "Keep your idea of 'fun' far away from little Ruby."
"Excuse me!" Ruby piped up "I'm not little, I'm old enough to drink and stuff..." The group laughed and went to buy the clothes, leaving her alone. 'I wonder what Cardin's doing right now...' She thought.

Friday 16:25pm.
"Sooooooo~" Jaune drawled out "Anyone want to explain why Nolan is here?"
"Does it matter?" Cardin shot back "He's also dressed up right now. That should be proof enough that he's not going to snitch."
"True." Russel agreed "How do I put one of these things on?" He asked holding up a pink lace bra.
"Where did you even find that?" Jaune asked shaking his head.
"Neptune's room."
"Ah." Jaune simply replied. Ren, Sun and Nep had gone to grab some alcohol from the shop and left him with newcomers of the party "None of us are wearing bras."
"Do you think the the plaid skirt with the black cropped sweater would match?" Nolan asked curiously.
"Hmm, if you wore some ripped tights too." Russel suggested "I wouldn't be able to tell."
"Don't know if that's a compliment or not." Cardin sighed not thinking this is how he'd be spending his Friday night "Hand me the cheerleader uniform."
Jaune threw the clothes over and eyes the larger boy "Is there a reason you wanted to join us? Didn't think you'd be the kind of person to want to crash some lame party."
Cardin went silent for a few seconds "No reason really." He answered "We were just bored and had nothing else to do. Ain't that right, Russ?"
"Dunno about that one chief!" Russ replied "This is defo going to be a fun night though."
"I guess it doesn't matter. Just having you guys join us has put Sun and Neptune at ease. Imagine the two confident ones are scared to dress up." Jaune laughed, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Maybe they have a reputation to upkeep?" Nolan replied.
"Nah, we're just embarrassed." Sun laughed, entering the room with a crate of beer under one arm and cider under the other. The other two boys also followed in after the tanned blonde, each carrying their own crates.
"Damn Neptune." Russel exclaimed playfully "Who's ya friend?" He asked referring to Ren. Ren decided that there was no point in changing clothes just to have to change back later so he stayed dressed up.
"Thank you." Ren politely nodded, placing his alcohol on the counter.
"Alright everyone, gather round!" Sun announced, handing everyone in the room and drink "We alone have been tasked of crashing Womanpalooza and when I look around at all of you." He scanned the room "I wouldn't ask for a better team to do this with!"
"Lame." The group groaned in unison.
"Tonight we are not just men. We're women too! Lets fuck this shit up!" Sun's smile grew "Let's make this a Friday to remember!" He held up his drink and the group gave a light cheer.
"Game time, ladies." Ren smiled, downing his bottle.

Friday Party Time!
Reese bounced her way over to her roommate with a drink in hand "See, look how much fun everyone's having!" She smiled an 'I told you so' grin.
Ilia's eyes surveyed the hall, seeing that the hall has indeed been filled out and there was several girls enjoying themselves. But the majority were just stood around drinking and listening to music. "Yeah, looks great. You sure showed me." Ilia smiled at her friend "Most people do look pretty bored though."
"Don't be silly. Things are just starting to heat up."
"Oh, I'm sure they are about to heat up." A shit eating grin of her own appeared on her face.
Reese's face dropped slightly "What did you do?" A nervous laugh escaped the smaller girls throat.
The entrance of the hall opened and Reese's eyes shot towards the newcomers. Breathing a sigh of relief she turned back to Ilia "For a second there I thought you had done something to ruin Womanpalooza. That was just an elegant Mistrallian girl and her less pretty friends joining the party."
"Let the party begin, eh?" Ilia held up her own bottle in victory.
We are cooking boys! Next chapter Womanpalooza in full swing!
Thank you for reading and all that Jazz.
