Burning the Candle

You sit with a glum Ruby at a table in the ballroom, with your hand supporting your head.

Suddenly, Weiss appears, and slams down two white squares.

You and Ruby both jump and look up.

Weiss: I need you two to pick a table cloth.

She slides the two squares towards the two of you.

Ruby: Aren't they both the same?

(Y/N): Yeah?

Weiss: (sighs in frustration) I don't even know why I asked!

Weiss walks away as Yang puts down a large speaker.

Yang brushes her hands and walks up behind you 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.

Yang looks up and sees Weiss placing doilies on the tables.

Weiss points in Yang's face.

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

(Y/N): As long as I control the music, I'm fine with whatever...

The doors open as Sun and Neptune walk in.

Neptune: Your dance is gonna have fog machines?

Weiss: Only if Yang lets me have my doilies...

Sun: So, you guys all excited for dress-up?

Ruby: Pfft... Yeah, right!

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

(Y/N): So, what are you two guys wearing?

Sun: Uhh, this?

Neptune steps up and puts a hand in Sun's face.

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

Sun: 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: Yeah, we kinda noticed.

Sun: Soooo... what does Blake think of all this? She still being all, y'know... Blake-y?

Weiss: Obviously.

She turns and crosses her arms.

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

Yang: Guys. Trust me; Blake will be at the dance tomorrow.

As Yang walks out, she turns to you.

Yang: C'mon, I need ya.

Some Time Later

You lean on the railing of the balcony overlooking the library.

You see Blake, typing away at a computer.

You hold up a tactical laser and point it at the screen.

(Y/N): Yang, this is so wrong...

You slowly move the dot along the screen, causing Blake to get up and look for the culprit.

You quickly duck down to not get caught.

Blake turns back to the computer and begins typing.

You stand back up and point the laser onto Blake's hand, getting her attention.
