3rd Person POV:

Within Beacon Academy's ballroom, a glum Ruby is seen resting her head on her hand and staring into the distance before being startled by Weiss as the Schnee girl suddenly slams her palms on the table.

Weiss: (smiling) I need you to pick a tablecloth. (slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white)

Ruby: (confused) Aren't they both the same?

Weiss: (sighs in frustration) I don't even know why I asked!

Weiss walks away as Yang and Y/N, who are both seen carrying a large speaker on their shoulders as they both put their speakers down which causes Ruby and her table to bounce up in the air before dropping back down.

Y/N: Is that all of them?

Yang: Yeah, thanks for your help. (brushing her hands as she approaches Ruby) So, have you picked out a dress yet?

Ruby: What's the point? Who cares about the dance if Blake isn't going?

Yang: Oh, don't worry; she's going. (looks over before getting exasperated) Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!

Weiss: (walks up to Yang, pointing in her face) If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!

The girls are interrupted by the sound of doors opening.

Neptune: (walking in with Sun) Your dance is gonna have fog machines?

Weiss: (stepping up to him, becoming sweet) We were thinking about it...

Neptune: That's pretty cool.

Sun: (coming into the scene, acting suave to Weiss' ire) You ladies all excited for dress-up?

Ruby: Pfft... Yeah, right!

Y/N: Just for the occasion.

Yang: Laugh all you want. I'll be turning heads tomorrow night!

Weiss: (addressing Sun and Neptune) What are you two wearing?

Sun: Uuhhh... this? (gestures to his current shirtless outfit)

Neptune: (steps up and holds a hand in front of his friend's face) Ignore him for he knows not what he says.

Sun: (knocks Neptune's hand away) Hey, I may have moved to Mistral, but I grew up in Vacuo. It's not exactly a shirt-and-tie kind of place.

Yang: (mirroring her teammates looks of being told something extremely obvious) Yeah, we noticed.

Sun: (rubbing the back of his head, preparing to ask:) Soooo... what does Blake think of all this? She still being all, y'know... Blake-y?

Weiss: Obviously. (turns and crosses her arms in disapproval)

Ruby: I still can't think of a way to change her mind.

Y/N: She's getting even worse, she isn't going to last much longer.

Yang: Guys. (everyone looks at her as she starts walking out) Trust me; Blake will be at the dance tomorrow.

The firey blonde is then seen holding a laser pointer as she is currently in the library, hiding behind a bookshelf as she turns back to her accomplice who is revealed to be Y/N.

Y/N: Mind telling me why you brought me with you?

Yang: It's all part of the plan. (points to Blake, who's seated at one of the library tables with a holographic screen in front of her) I'll use the laser pointer to lure her here, and once we got here we'll take her somewhere so we can talk it out.
