Y/N POV

You were helping out with preparing the Ballroom for the dance. You and Thorin were at the moment carrying a large speaker upstairs, carefully taking one step at the time with you holding the back.

Y/n: "Thorin?"

Thorin: "Yeah?"

Y/n: "If you drop this on me...I swear to Oum that i'm dragging you to hell with me."

Thorin: "Oh shut up, i got a good grip on this."

Once you reach the top of the stairs you slowly slower it down on the floor, after that you begin screwing on the back mounts to it. Once that's done you and Thorin carefully pick it back up and put it on its mount.

Y/n: "Dear Oum... how many more of these did she say we had to mount?"

Thorin: "Weiss said that there are one more to mount upstairs and two that we have to place on the ground floor."

You let out a loud groan as you slowly make your way back down the stairs. Walking towards the entrance you see Weiss making Ruby pick between two similar looking white tablecloths. Weiss notices you and Thorin and waves you over, walking over she points at the tablecloths.

Weiss: "I need you two to pick between these two tablecloths since SOMEONE seems to not see a difference."

Ruby: "But they look the same..."

You lean in close to the table cloths to examine them both. Despite how hard you look...you couldn't see one difference except maybe a loose thread here and there.

Y/n"I have to agree with Ruby on this, They are both the same shade of white."

Thorin: "Yeah, same here. Not one difference."

Weiss sighs in frustration as she grabs the two tablecloths and walks away,

Weiss: "I don't even know why i asked any of you!"

You pat the moping Ruby softly on the head as you see Yang walking over carrying one of the speakers you and Thorin were going to take in. You could feel your whole body bounce up as she drops it onto the ground.

Yang: "Hey guys! got your suits for the dance?"

Y/n: "Not yet, me and Thorin were gonna head down to the city after helping out here. Can't turn up looking like this."

You look down at the quite messy and dirty casual outfit you were wearing, having been the one to carry so much stuff has gotten you quite dirty and sweaty from walking back and forth on this hot day.

Yang: "And what about you, Ruby? Have you picked out a dress yet?"

Ruby: "What's the point to get a dress? who care about the dance if Blake isn't going"

Yang: "Oh, don't worry. She's going."

Y/n: "Yang, for the last time. i told you tying someone up and taking them somewhere against their will is kidnapping... and definitely a crime.

Yang: "You're no fun...Weiss! I thought we agreed: No Doilies!"

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

You can't help but to chuckle at their bickering when you hear the door to the ball room open. Looking over you see Sun and Neptune walk in and go over to you all.

Neptune: "Your dance is going to have fog machines?"

Weiss: "Well, We were thinking about it."

Neptune: "That's pretty cool."
