RWBY Fanfic: Team EMRC Volume 2

Getting Ready for a Dance

In the ballroom, Yang, Jack, Wiess, Ellis, and Ruby are either setting up for the dance on the weekend or engaging in conversation like Ruby and Ellis, "Ok so, what's up with Blake, Rubes?"

Ruby rests her head in her hand and her shoulder on the table they're sitting at, "Well... ever since that night on the docks, she hasn't slept. She's too fixated on finding out the plan The White Fang has and it's getting to her... we told her that we thought it would be a good idea for her to come to the dance and get her mind off things, but she just told us it was "a colossal waist of her time"... I'm really worried about her Ellis. You're a team leader like me, so what should I do?"

Ellis scratches his chin, "If I'm honest with you Rubes, I'm having trouble with one of my own members... Diana's been really to herself lately and won't tell us why, I want to ask, but she's... we'll I don't want to push her into telling us. She seems to be getting along with Verde from team AAVI so hopefully he'll break her out of her shell a little... She does talk to Pyrrha more openly though. Maybe I should ask for her help with this..."

"Since Team CFVY's away mission is taking longer than they thought, Yang and Weiss are planning the dance. Meaning we have even less time to deal with Blakes problem..." Ruby lays her head on the table, "Days in the life's of Beacon's team leaders..."

"You could say that again."

Ruby picks her head back up and Wiess slams two cloths down where her head was, "I need the both of you to pick a tablecloth."

Weiss pushes the cloths forward and Ruby looks at them confused, "Aren't they both-?"

Ellis covers her mouth with his hand and smiles at Weiss, "I think what she's trying to say is that the left one is lovely, Weiss!"

Weiss picks them both up and smiles at Ellis, bowing slightly, "I knew it! Thank you Ellis."

Weiss leaves and Ellis uncovers Ruby's mouth, looking at her, "Trust me, never mess with that woman and her tablecloths." Ellis shudders a little and Ruby looks at him slightly creeped out.

Yang carries a large speaker by herself and places it down, the slam making the table, Ruby, and Ellis jump off the ground a little before falling back down unfazed. Yang looks at Jack as he comes over, "Does this look good?"

He scratches his chin, "Maybe a little more centred to the wall."

Yang looks at it with the same expression as Jack, "Good point." Jack moves over, picking the large speaker up with ease and walking over to the left a little more before placing it back down. Yang smiles at it and holds a thumb up to jack with her right eye closed, "Perfect!" Yang walks over to Ruby and Ellis, Jack following close behind, "So, you picked out a dress yet, Ruby?"

Ruby rests on her arm on the table, "What's the point? Why should we care about the dance if Blake isn't going?"

"Oh, don't worry. She's going." Jack taps her arm and Yang looks to see him pointing at something. She turns to see Weiss placing doilies, "Weiss! I thought we agreed! No doilies!"

Weiss walks up to her and points a finger in her face, "If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines."

Ellis looks at them with a smile, "The dance is gonna have fog machines?"

Weiss turns to him with a nervous expression, "Well, we were thinking about it."

"Sounds cool."

They all hear a door opening and see Sun and Neptune entering the ballroom, Sun with a smile on his face says, "So lady's, Ellis and Jack, you all exited for dress up?"
