Y/N: -ucking kidding me.

Ozpin: Any issues with Mercury, Y/N?

Y/N: Oh no, no no no no, apart from the fact that he's suspicious as ever.

Ozpin: Hawthorne, I suggest you drop all superstitions and enjoy yourself.

Ozpin walks off.

Y/N: Reeally helpful. Thanks for nothing, Ozpin.

Oobleck is shown to be listening intently as Port laughs over some unheard anecdote. Ozpin is standing off to the side with Glynda Goodwitch until Ironwood offers his hand for her to dance with him. Jaune approaches you and Ruby, who are now standing near the refreshments table.

Jaune: I see you're hiding at the punch bowl too.

Ruby: Yep.

Y/N: Oh you should know me, Jaune. I don't hide.

Jaune: Of course you don't, you're skilled! Well... To the socially awkward.

Ruby giggles and they clink glasses with you.

Ruby: Sorry things didn't work out with Weiss.

Jaune: Meh, it's fine. Neptune's pretty "cool". I get why she went with him.

Y/N: What do you mean?

Jaune: Well, come on, not many people can pull off blue hair.

Jaune begins to drink his punch.

Ruby: Weiss came to the dance alone.

Jaune chokes in surprise, spitting his drink back in his cup.

Y/N: She... is right over there.

Weiss is shown trying desperately to coax life out of a wilting white rose. When she fails, she looks visibly upset.

Ruby: Yeah, she said that she had too much to focus on to worry about boys.

Laughter draws Weiss' attention to Sun, Blake, and Neptune as the latter entertains the others with some impressions and other silly faces. Jaune, shown to be observing as well, becomes visibly perturbed.

Jaune: Hold my punch.

Jaune hands Ruby his glass and no sooner than he vanishes from sight does she choose to drink from his cup. As Jaune makes his way across the room, he goes up a staircase.

Y/N: Well, let's go give Weiss some company.

Ruby: You go. She's... Still kinda uppity about not having a date. Last thing she'd wanna see is me trying to chat up with her.

Y/N: Alrighty.

You kiss Ruby, tasting pure punch from her mouth.

Ruby: You know, we really gotta kiss more. (giggles)

Y/N: Truly.

Walking away from Ruby and going over to a dejected Weiss that looks at other students sadly, you sit next to her, Blake, Sun, and Neptune.

Weiss: What are you doing here?

Y/N: Aw, don't be like that Weiss. You know why I'm here.

Weiss Why? So you could make fun of me for not having a date?

Y/N: Actually, I came over here to tell you one thing. Why not dance with me?

Weiss: Are you... are you serious?

Y/N: I am.

Weiss: Fine. Let's get this over with.

Weiss whisks you away, and Blake looks on with jealousy, but her jealously fades away once she reads your lips.
