Waking up the next morning, Topaz sees that he has a message on his scroll. Seeing it's from Neo makes him panic a little.
{Topaz, just letting you know that your sister and her team had a run in with Roman last night. Don't worry, I was able to use my semblance to make sure no one got hurt. Roman got away, but her team were able to break the Atlas mech he had. Your spy Neo <3}
Topaz gets to his feet and rushes to Ruby and Yang's room. Knocking on the door, it opens to reveal a tired looking Weiss.
Weiss: "What is with all this noise so early?"
Topaz: "Weiss, is everyone ok?"
Weiss: "What are you talking about?"
Topaz: "Weiss, I know you and the rest of your team ended up fighting Roman Torchwick last night."
Weiss: "How did you find out?"
Topaz: "How I found out doesn't matter. What does matter is that you girls are all ok."
Weiss: "We are all fine. There was this girl who appeared and then everything started getting weird. Then she pointed to the mech, so we sliced it into pieces."
Topaz can only smile knowing that Neo helped his sisters and their team.
Topaz: "I'm sorry for waking you up, but I was worried. Now that I know you are all ok, I'll let you get back to sleep. Sleep well Weiss."
Weiss: "It's ok, I understand. Thank you, good night."
Topaz takes a deep breath and then makes his way back to his room. When he opens the door and walks in, he sees Scarlett looking at him with questioning eyes. Topaz shakes his head and gives her a thumbs up. Seeing everything is ok, Scarlett goes back to the book she was reading. Topaz changes into his workout clothes and then goes out for his daily training. After he was done training, he returned to his room, only to find the two girls gone and Nova sitting in his bed.
Topaz: "Where'd the girls go to?"
Nova: "Apparently they wanted to change into their dresses away from school so they could surprise us later."
Topaz: "Of course they do."
Nova: "Women."
Topaz: "Yep, yet we still care about them."
Nova: "That we do."
The two go quiet for a few minutes before bursting into laughter. Topaz and Nove then made their way to the cafeteria for some food. Along the way Topaz sees Velvet sitting with her teammates. Velvet sees him and blushes slightly before giving him a nervous wave. Topaz waves back with a chuckle.
Nova: "I'm telling Ariel."
Topaz: "You wouldn't dare."
Nova: "Oh, I dare."
Topaz: "Then I'm going to tell Scareltt about your many attempts at the women's locker room."
Nova: "You swore you wouldn't say anything."
Topaz: "No I didn't. I said I wouldn't tell her then. Now is different though."
Nova: "Fine, I'll stay quiet if you stay quiet."
Topaz: "Deal."
The two shake on it and grab their food. They then joined team JNPR at an open table.
Topaz: "Morning guys."
Team JNPR: "Morning."
Topaz: "You guys excited for the dance?"
Their silence catches Topaz off guard. He could've sworn Pyrra would have asked Jaune and Nora would have asked Ren. But apparently no one had asked anyone.
Jaune: "I'm thinking of asking Weiss to the dance."
Topaz: "Why Weiss?"
Jaune: "Why not Weiss? She's pretty and talented."
Topaz: "And also incredibly cold to you. Why don't you and Pyrra go together?"
Jaune: "Me and Pyrra? Please, Pyrra probably has had half the male population ask her to the dance."
Topaz: "Really Jaune. I get being a little oblivious, but damn man. You take the cake."
Jaune: "What do you mean?"
Pyrra: "Topaz, please. Just stop."
Topaz: "Are you sure Pyrra?"
Pyrra: "Yeah... I'm sure."
Jaune: "See, I told you Pyrra already has someone. If she doesn't, I will wear a dress tonight."
Topaz: "Fine, I'm going to go and buy you a dress."
Topaz stands up and makes his way outside. Shortly after he leaves, Nova catches up to him.
Nova: "Bro, are you seriously going to buy a dress for Jaune."
Topaz: "Oh yeah I am. Everyone has Pyrra placed on a pillar. No matter how beautiful she is, no one has the balls to ask her out. Plus, she likes Jaune, so she's waiting for him to ask her."
Nova: "Wait, Pyrra likes Jaune?"
Topaz: "Gods you're an idiot."
Nova: "I am not!"
The two continue to bicker the entire way into Vale. Arriving at a clothes store, the two enter and after a while they agree on a dress for Jaune. It's a simple short white dress with a light blue ribbon along its waste. Purchasing the dress, the two grab some lunch and head back to the school.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time for Topaz and Nova to meet up with Ariel and Scarlett and head to the dance. Both of them have changed into suits and are anxiously waiting for the reveal of their dates. They knock on their dorm's door and hear Scarlett say just a minute. Waiting, they are then told they can enter. Opening the door, they each see their corresponding dates and their jaws drop.
Topaz: "Ariel... wow. I-I don't know what to say, you're breathtaking."
Ariel: "Awww, thank you Topaz. You look so handsome in that suit."
Ariel is wearing a knee long pink dress, that hugs her figure nicely. The neckline dips down towards the middle of her sternum, revealing her modest chest. The base of her dress sways with every turn catching Topaz's attention. Topaz knows she doesn't like wearing heels, so he wasn't surprised to see her wearing simple pink flats. All together Topaz can't help but appreciate how good she looks.
Nova: "Scarlett, you look gorgeous."
Scarlett: "Thanks Nova. You look great yourself."
Scarlett is wearing a long crimson dress that is neither revealing or overly modest. Her dress goes down to her ankles and hugs her body from her chest to her waist. Her neckline stops just above her chest, revealing only the very top of her cleavage. She's wearing short heels that match her dress. Nova walks over to her and gives her a light kiss on the cheek.
Topaz and Nova both pull out a bag and hand them to their respective girls. Scarlett opens up the bag she was given, and finds a silver necklace within. The necklace was in the pattern of a dragon, with a simple red gemstone where the dragon's eye would be.
Scarlett: "Nova, it-it's beautiful."
Nova: "Then it's perfect for you. The red gem on the eye is a fire dust crystal, and I was told that the necklace when worn should help boost your attacks when you use fire dust."
Scarlett: "I can't believe you did something so thoughtful, thank you so much."
Nova: "It's my pleasure Scarlett. Your happiness means a lot to me."
Nova takes the necklace and puts the necklace around her neck. Taking a step back, Nova sees that the necklace sits perfectly on her allowing the world to see it. Scarlett walks over to Nova and gives him a kiss on the cheek which causes him to blush. Ariel opens up her gift to find a gold necklace in the shape of a lion. The lion's eyes are a bright yellow and captivate Ariel.
Ariel: "Topaz... are you sure I deserve something so nice?"
The tears in her eyes cut into Topaz.
Topaz: "Ariel, yes you do. I can't think of a more deserving girl for something so beautiful. The gem is a lightning dust crystal. I asked for them to make it so that the gem would send its power through your bodies electric current, allowing you to add electricity to your blade whip."
Ariel: "Topaz, I-I-I, thank you. Thank you so much."
Topaz: "There's no need to thank me Ariel. You deserve to be treated like a princess."
Topaz puts the necklace around Ariel's neck and admires how beautiful it looks on her. Ariel takes a step towards Topaz and gives him a big hug. The two stay within the hug for a few moments before separating.
Scarlett: "Alright everyone, let's make our way to the dance."
Team SATN begin making their way towards the dance's location. Both couples holding hands and enjoying the company.
