Jaune didn't know who to ask to the annual Beacon New Years dance. Pyrrha was nice and who wouldn't want to ask her. After having a change of heart Cardin had asked her out to the dance which she politely declined. He thought it would be a good idea to ask her. The problem was he was trying to find the right words to ask her. She was nice and everything, helping him train to become a better hunter.
"Hey Pyrrha…"
"Yes Jaune?" She asked looking up at him from polishing her javelin. "What do you need?" she smiled.
"Pyrrha. Would you...uh…"
"Jaune?"
"Would you like to go to the Beacon New Years dance with me?" He was met with silence.
"Yes, yes Jaune I'd love to go with you." She smiled, getting up from her bed and putting her weapon aside.
"Really?"
"Of course I do." she then hugged him.
"Thanks Pyrrha. You're the best." He replied hugging her back. They separated and Jaune headed out of the room ecstatic to tell someone about it.
He then spotted Ren just down the hall. Running up to him with an excited look on his face.
"Ren guess what?"
"Let me guess you asked Pyrrha out to the dance and she said yes?"
"Wrong...wait, that's exactly right. How did you know?"
"Nora told me the whole thing."
"Wait...Nora? How did she, I thought we were the only ones in the room."
"Well, Nora said she hid in the bathroom. Well congratulations Juane."
"Thanks Ren."
"See you back in the room."
"Yup, see ya later man." he walked away with a little more pep in his stride. He sure felt grateful to have a friend like Pyrrha to go with him. He was lost in his thoughts before he realized that he had bumped into someone. Hearing groan coming from the ground. He looked to find Ruby flat on her butt.
"Oh my god. Ruby are you okay?" He helped her up.
"Yeah, I'm good." she assured him. "I...Um...actually wanted to see you."
"Really? Well I just wanted to tell you that I asked Pyrrha out to the dance." He smiled. Her face fell slightly. But Jaune didn't notice. Ruby quickly covered it up by smiling.
"Really? I'm happy for you Jaune." she replied.
"So what was it that you wanted to tell me?"
"Oh nothing. I forgot really. Maybe it was something about how I needed to get more ammo for Crescent Rose. I don't know something like that." she said quickly.
"I see. Well I hope that you figure it out." Jaune said while ruffling her hair. She blushed deeply.
"Anyways. Bye Jaune!" she called and used her semblance to get away as fast as she could. Leaving rose petals in her wake. Jaune looked at her disappearing form, a feeling of what could possibly be guilt, washed over him. But he didn't understand why.
