3rd Person POV.

Right now the students and teachers of are enjoying themselves at the dance all except 3 people and those people would be Ruby, Jaune, and Xo-zeion who are currently hanging out at the punch bowl.

Jaune: so you guys are hanging out the punch bowl to?

Ruby: yep

Xo-zeion: affirmative

Jaune raised his glass in a toast.

Jaune: to being socially awkward

Xo-zeion and Ruby: here here

The three of them touch their glasses together and begin to take a sip of their punch.

Ruby: I'm so sorry things didn't work out with Weiss.

Jaune: nah it's fine Neptune's pretty cool I get why she went out with him

Ruby: what do you mean?

Jaune: well come on not many people could pull off blue hair

Ruby: no I mean Weiss came to the dance alone.

Jaune: what?

Jaune looks to his right to see Weiss adjusting flowers in a vase all by herself.

Ruby: yeah she said she had too much to focus on to worry about boys.

Jaune starts to become so visibly enraged both Darth Celleus and Xo-zeion can feel his anger building up in the force

Jaune: hold my punch

Jaune hands his punch to Xo-zeion and Jaune makes his way over to Neptune with an angry look on his face but is stopped by Pyrrha in a red dress walking past him and up a set of stairs Jaune decides to follow Pyrrha.

Jaune: hey Pyrrha

Pyrrha: hey Jaune

Jaune: you okay? I haven't seen you tonight

Pyrrha: I arrived late I'm afraid

Jaune: well you look really nice

Pyrrha: thank you

Jaune: your uh date isn't going to beat me up for saying that is he?

Pyrrha: I think you're safe for tonight

Jaune: so where is the guy?

Pyrrha looks at Jaune

Pyrrha: there is no guy

Jaune: uh W-what?

Pyrrha: nobody asked me

Jaune: but that's.................you're Pyrrha Nikos!!!......h-how could nobody asked you?

Pyrrha: I've been blessed with Incredible talents and opportunities I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place everyone assumes I'm too good for them that I'm on a level they simply cannot Attain it's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people that's what I like about you when we met you didn't even know my name you treated me just like everyone else and thanks to you I've made friendships that will last a lifetime I guess you're the kind of guy I wish I was with here with someone who just saw me for me.

Pyrrha began to leave.

Jaune: W-what

Neptune: hey uh..........Jaune right?

Jaune sighs

Jaune: yeah

Neptune: this party is pretty lame huh I mean ballroom dancing come on.
