V.C.: Welcome to a new story of my own creation.
Phoenix: Yup.
V.C.: Can you say more than one word per line.
Phoenix: Yes.
V.C.:(sigh) Alright then any other insightful words.
Phoenix: Yes actually I would like to say that I am not happy with the Lancaster in this story.
V.C.: What'dya got against Lancaster?
Phoenix: Personally nothing except for the fact of Sword and Shield being the superior pairing by far.
Ruby: (Pulls out Crescent Rose) You take that back.
Phoenix: (Pulls out the sword of Gryffindor) Never!
V.C.: One hour later
Phoenix lies with Crescent Rose held at his throat.
Phoenix: I yield! I'm sorry!

"This is it. The perfect plan to woo Weiss." Jaune spoke aloud to himself glancing at his guitar. "And how exactly is this different from any of the other plots to enamor Ms. Schnee into accompanying you to the dance?" Ren questioned. Jaune went to speak but Nora cut him off. "C'mon Ren, I'm sure our Fearless Leader's plan is gonna work. After all what girl can resist a cute guy singing to her?" Ren deadpanned
"Okay, so maybe Weiss is a bit colder than that but still..." Nora trailed off.
Jaune decided it was best to leave now before Nora started arguing with Ren. He quickly grabbed the guitar and head towards the door. "Wish me luck guys!" He called over his shoulder. Both heads turned toward his direction. "Good luck Jaune!" Nora shouted happily. Ren sighed "yes Jaune good luck. I believe you'll need it."
Team RWBY's Dorm
Ruby sat on her bed trying and failing to do her homework. She sighed wishing someone was there to help her. Yang and Blake went out to go shopping for the dance and Weiss was busy trying to gain Neptune's attention. Suddenly Ruby heard a knock at the door. Quickly getting up and answering it. Ruby was surprised to see Jaune, eyes closed holding a guitar. Before she could ask, he began singing.

You're not the only lonely one

(I do, I do, I do)
Ruby's eyes shined with excitement as Jaune finished his song. Them he asked, "Will you go to the dance with me?" Ruby squealed "YES!" Jaune's eyes snapped opened as Ruby embraced him in a tight hug. "Oh Oum did I just accidentally ask out Ruby? I better fix this before-." His thoughts were cut off by an angry growl. Ruby quickly let go of Jaune and smiled at her sister. "Hey Yang, guess what happened while you were out?" Yang looked at Ruby hiding her anger. "What?" Ruby's smile widened. "Jaune asked me out to the dance. Isn't that awesome!?" Yang clenched her jaw but calmed down when she felt Blake's hand on her shoulder. She glanced at Blake who spoke up. "That's great Ruby we hope you both have fun." Yang shot a glare at Jaune before Blake led her out of the room. Ruby looked at Jaune. "Don't worry Jaune, Yang's just being herself. I can't wait till...OH OUM THE DANCE IS THIS SATURDAY! I GOTTA GET READY! SEE YOU JAUNE, PICK ME UP AT 7:30!" With that Ruby bolted out of the room leaving a horrified Jaune frozen in place outside RWBY's dorm room.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Jaune asked himself.
He then heard a voice behind him. "Arc." Jaume went pale as he turned to see Yang with Blake next to her. "Y-yes?'
"Hurt my sister and I swear I'll break every bone in your body. One at a time. Slowly, very slowly. Understood?" Jaune nodded. "Good, now leave."
Jaune quickly retreated to his dorm room. Nora was arguing with Ren and Pyrrha watched carefully. She smiled at Jaune. "How did it go?" Jaune sighed, Pyrrha's smile faded. 'Did she reject you again?" Jaune shook his unsure how to explain his situation. "Then what happened?'
"Well...I went to RWBY's dorm, the song went well...but I ended up asking out Ruby." The room went silent.
"Ruby...Rose?" Rem clarified. Jaune nodded. "My eyes were closed so when I sang that song I sang it to her then asked her out. And of course, she agreed." "Then why not explain to her that it was a mistake?" Pyrrha offered. All three members of JNPR gave her incredulous looks. "What?" She asked. "And risk Yang my head off for hurting Ruby? No way! Plus, she looked so happy when I asked. I can't take that from her."
"So what's the plan?" Nora, who had been unusually quiet, asked.
"I'm gonna take Ruby to the dance. Who knows it may be fun." Jaune laughed nervously.
