Mega Man in Remnant (abandoned)

Burning the Candle

a glum Ruby rests her head on her hand, staring into the distance before she is startled by someone slamming their palms on the table she is at.

"I need you to pick a tablecloth." weiss slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white

"Aren't they both the same?" ruby asked confused

Weiss sighs in frustration and says "I don't even know why I asked!"

Weiss walked away, to talk to roll, as Yang and rock come in carrying massive sound speakers on their shoulders, which bounce her sister and the table as she and Rock slam them both down

Yang brushing her hands as she approaches Ruby asks "So, have you picked out a dress yet?"

"What's the point? Who cares about the dance if Blake isn't going?" ruby responded

"Oh, don't worry; she's going." yang looks over, exasperated "Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!"

Weiss walks up to Yang, pointing in her face. "If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!"

The girls are interrupted by the sound of doors opening. Neptune, walking in with Sun, asks "Your dance is gonna have fog machines?"

Weiss stepping up to him, becoming sweet. "We were thinking about it..."

"That's pretty cool." Neptune said

Sun coming into the scene, acting suave to Weiss' ire. "You ladies all excited for dress-up?"

"Pfft... Yeah, right!" ruby said

"Laugh all you want. I'll be turning heads tomorrow night!" yang said

Weiss addressing Sun and Neptune asks "What are you two wearing?"

"Uuhhh... this?" Sun said gesturing to his current shirtless outfit

Neptune steps up and holds a hand in front of his friend's face. "Ignore him for he knows not what he says."

Sun knocks Neptune's hand away saying "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 mirroring Ruby's and Weiss' looks of being told something extremely obvious "Yeah, we noticed."

Sun, rubbing the back of his head, preparing to ask  "Soooo... what does Blake think of all this? She still being all, y'know... Blake-y?"

"Obviously." weiss turns and crosses her arms in disapproval

"I still can't think of a way to change her mind." ruby said

"Guys." everyone looks at yang as she starts walking out "Trust me; Blake will be at the dance tomorrow."

Rock rolled his eyes and continued with the heavy lifting singing/ plying a song. "I see this life, Like a swinging vine, Swing my heart across the line.."

---------------------------------------------------------
Inside the ballroom, streamers are hung through glass chandeliers, pink and blue balloons are everywhere, and students in dark suits and bright dresses are stepping with each other to the music between the white-clothed tables.

Yang, now in a short white dress with black heels, stands at a podium. The doors in front of her open and she flips out upon seeing who walks in.

"Ooohh, you look beautiful!" yang said

Ruby groans as she looks distressed in her red dress with black lace, belt, and pumps  "Can we have a serious talk about how Weiss fights in these?" she tries to maintain her balance as she walks to the podium, much to her laughing sister's amusement

Rock and roll walk in only to see yang laughing at a struggling ruby. Rock was in a blue suit while roll had a red dress

---------------------------------------------------------

Blake is spun around by Yang before they curtsey to one another, and Sun comes up and takes his date's hands as Yang gestures for him to do so. She goes to hang with Ruby, rock, roll and Weiss, who is in a similar white dress as Yang's, in the back of the room, watching Blake laugh and enjoy herself before smiling at her team.

"I told you she would come." yang said

" Mission accomplished." weiss said

Ruby turning to her teammates asked "Soooo, what do we do now?"

"Just have fun!" yang said as she proceeds to walk away and do so, with Weiss and roll going the opposite direction and leaving Ruby and rock behind

Ruby Shouting after Yang asked "Does that mean I can change out of these stupid things and into my hood now?" upon receiving no answer, she waddles around in her painful footwear. "Stupid lady stilts!" she said to herself as rock silently laughed

"Not enjoying yourself?" professor ozpin asked suddenly appearing

Ruby, surprised to see the headmaster step up by her side,shakes her head and laughs "Oh, no, everything's fine! I'm just not much of a fancy pantsy... dancey girl."

"Well, you can't spend your whole life on the battlefield, even if you may want to." ozpin said

Ruby, crossing her arms, looking annoyed "Yeah, that lesson's been floating around a lot lately."

Ozpin, staring out at the dancing couples "If you think about it, fighting and dancing aren't so different. Two partners interlocked, although one wrong move on the ballroom merely leads to a swollen foot."

Ruby, looking down at her own feet says "Or a twisted ankle." as rock looked at his giant metal boots

"It's not every day that friends are able to come together like this. Time has a way of testing our bonds, but it's nights like these that can help keep them stronger than ever. Nights like these are ones we'll never forget."

"The moves that you make ya they come with mistakes
Don't ever lose your hope
Just know, you were born for this" rock sang to ruby

Ruby smiles at the words of wisdom, from ozpin and rock, but turns her head at the sound of the doors opening. Yang is back behind the podium, and smiles at the new arrivals.

"You guys are just in time!" she said

Mercury, as he and Emerald step in with their ballroom best on before saying "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
