Ruby was nervous, over half the school had shown up to watch the ten contestants\teams. Their group was up next. Right now another student was preforming an amazingly graceful dance, but Ruby wasn't paying attention. Weiss must have sensed her unease, because she put her arms around Ruby. She had been really nice ever since last week, when they accidentally slept together. "Are you okay?" She asked "you're shaking."
"Yeah" Rupy replied "just nervous."
"We're on in five minutes" Jet said. Ruby looked over at Blake and Yang. They were both perfectly calm. "Don't worry, I'm nervous too" Weiss said.
"Normal knees" Ruby whispered.
The dance had ended, and the stage crew had begun setting up the mics, drums, and synthesizer. Before Ruby knew it the announcer was calling them onstage. They all marched out onstage, some more confident then others. oh, that's a lot of people Ruby thought just focus on the bass.
"Yeah! You go guys!" Nora called.
"Good luck!" Jaune and Pyrrah called.
Blake began a low volumed measure which was accompanied by Jet's acoustic guitar. Weiss joined in her slow and beautiful vocals;
"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest
White is cold and always yearning, burdened by the royal test"
Yang began to beat a slow rhythm to match the music's rise in tempo. Blake also began to play louder. The crowd seemed to be enjoying it.
"Black, the beast descends from shadows
Yellow beauty burns, gold"
Everyone cut out for a split second, before yang begun a steady rhythm and Jet begun to play a string of swift notes and chords. They played like that for around fifteen seconds before Ruby and Blake joined. A few more seconds and Weiss joined with her violin. The group steadily built up for the next minute to the climax. Then faded away slowly.
For five seconds the world stood still, everyone onstage was holding there breath. Cheers and applause erupted from the audience. The band members all smiled and waved, laughing like crazy. They all marched off the stage.
"Well we certainly have a favorite" the anouncer said.
"That was great!" Jet laughed. Everyone was laughing and celebrating another great performance.
"We still have to be ready for when they announce the winner" Blake said.
After the last few performances it was time for the judges to decide. Everyone was on edge, even the writer. When the judges had concluded there discussion, Professor Ozpin stood up to the mic.
"The winner, is Melody Smith" he said gesturing to the shy dancer girl. The audience protested, calling the name of whom they wished. He raised his hand silencing them.
"Melody, would you like to come and say something?" Melody scampered shyly up to the mic. "P-Professor, why me?" She said "team RWBY and Jet deserve it more then me." The crowd shouted in agreement.
"RWBY!" they chanted.
"Guys" Jet said "they want an encore!"
"Let's give em' what they want!" Ruby said.
They scrambled to get there instruments onstage, setting up everything themselves. Once everything was set up, Jet walked up to one of the three mic's at the front of the stage. He took the mic, allowing his electric guitar to hang from the strap.
"Thank you Melody" he said to the small girl "but you were really great."
She blushed, thanked him, then walked offstage. The judges were once again in their seats.
