The Wolf, The Lion, and The Dragon - (Vol.2)

Ch.6 Burning The Candle

Brisa's Pov

Before I even know it, me and the others have finally arrived at the ballroom. Me, Weiss, Cyra, Raiden, Josh and Yang were decorating. We were thinking about what we were going to do about Pyrrha and Jaune as I decorated some parts in the ballroom with icy intricate.

I had confirmed my suspicions about Pyrrha liking Jaune. Pyrrha likes Jaune, Jaune likes Weiss, and Weiss apparently has a date in mind for the dance. It would be helpful if Jaune isn't so in love with Weiss. Despite her general iciness, I kinda can see why Jaune likes Weiss so much.

Brisa: (in mind) "Next thing I know somebody else will fall for her or something probably Raiden.... Nah nevermind"

After finishing my part, I sat beside Ruby, who just sat glumly at the table, resting her head on her hand and staring into the distance before she was startled by someone slamming their palms on the table she was at...

Weiss: "I need you to pick a tablecloth."

She slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white, much to her partner's confusion.

Ruby: "Aren't they both the same?"

Weiss sighs in frustration at this.

Weiss: "I don't even know why I asked!"

Brisa: "I'd go with the one on your left. It accents the colours of the ice decorations nicely."

Weiss: "Thank you, Brisa. "

With that, Weiss walks out of the scene as Yang comes in carrying a massive sound speaker on her shoulder, which bounces me and her sister and the table she's moping on again to jump in the air when she drops it on the ground. Yang brushed her hands as she approaches me and Ruby.

Yang: "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."

Brisa: "Pfft. You got a plan?"

Yang: "Kinda~"

Cyra: "You have a plan? Can I help? I wanna help Blake, too."

Me and Ruby looked at the two questioningly, but Yang was getting exasperated about what Weiss was doing.

Yang: "Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!"

Weiss quickly walks up to Yang, pointing in her face.

Weiss: "If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!"

Both girls were suddenly interrupted by the sound of doors opening.

Neptune: "Your dance is gonna have fog machines?"

Josh: "I don't know about them... Cyra and I are just helping out."

Weiss: "BUT, we were thinking about it..."

Neptune: "That's pretty cool."

Sun: "You ladies all excited for dress-up?"

Ruby: "Pfft... Yeah, right!"

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

Weiss: "What are you two wearing?"

Sun: "Uuhhh... this?"

Sun gestures to his current shirtless outfit, which Neptune steps up and holds a hand in front of his friend's face.

Neptune: "Ignore him for he knows not what he says."

Brisa: "He does have point, Sun. These kinds of occasions require a bit more formal dressing, much less open shirts and shorts."
