A glum Ruby resting her head on her hand and staring into the distance before she is startled by someone slamming their palms on the table she is at.

Weiss smiling said, "I need you to pick a tablecloth." She slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white.

Ruby, confused, said, "Aren't they both the same?"

Weiss sighed in frustration, "I don't even know why I asked!"

Weiss walks out as Yang and (Y/N) comes in carrying a massive sound speaker on her shoulder and using Rainbow Fist Grab, which bounces Ruby and the table she's moping on again to jump in the air when she drops it on the ground.

Yang brushes her hands as she approaches Ruby, "So, have you picked out a dress yet?"

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

"Oh, don't worry; she's going." Yang looks over at Weiss, 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!"

"I kinda like the fog machine." (Y/N) said.

The three are interrupted by the sound of doors opening.

Neptune, walking with Sun said, "Your dance is gonna have fog machines?"

Weiss was about to disagree but looked at (Y/N), "We were thinking about it..."

"Alright." (Y/N) said, highfiving Yang.

"That's pretty cool." Neptune said.

Sun comes into the scene, acting suave to Weiss' ire "You guys all excited for dress-up?"

"I'm kinda excited." (Y/N) said. "Coco helped me pick my suit." The girls thanked Coco in their mind. "I bet you guys are excited."

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

"Laugh all you want. I'll be turning a certain prince to me tomorrow night!" Yang said, looking at (Y/N).

(Y/N) looked at Yang and winked. She just smiled and put her arms around him.

Weiss addressing Sun and Neptune, "What are you two wearing?"

"Uuhhh... this?" Sun 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 Ruby's and Weiss' 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?"

"Obviously." Weiss turns and crosses her arms in disapproval.

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

"Guys." Everyone looks at Yang as she starts walking out, "Trust me; Blake will be at the dance tomorrow."

"I hope you know what you are doing." (Y/N) said.

"I actually need you to come with me." Yang said.

"Sure thing."

The Faunus herself is sitting at one of the library tables with a holographic screen in front of her. She is obviously more sleep-deprived than ever, barely focusing on what she's seeing... until a small, bright red light appears on the screen. Moving up and down, Blake's eyes follow it down to her hand, then disappears entirely. She looks behind herself, obviously irritated, but no one walking among the tables is her culprit.
