[ ...and then he does the thing. (The following is performed to the tune of "See My Vest" from The Simpsons/"Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast.) ]
🎵 Sheee said yes, she said yes,
I don't have to wear a dress.
We got a date, and not too late,
And we're feeling kinda great!
I got style, she can smile,
we've been partners, for a long long while!
Should we get ourselves a carriage
or would it look too much like a marriage? 🎵
[ He skips around her as he continues to get into the song and dance. ]
🎵 Long red hair, skin is fair
Kinda tall, what will she wear?
I'm excited and delighted I confessss!!
Just gotta fetch myself a suit,
We'll have one dance or two...
She said yes, she said yes, she said yes! 🎵
[ Jaune jumps on their table, accidentally knocking a flower vase down. Thankfully it doesn't break or anything, but it's not like he would notice. His strumming slows down, as does his voice lower for a brief moment... until it picks up again by the end of the verse! ]
🎵 Liiiike at Beacon, we won't be beaten,
I can't think, what rhymes with beaten,
but Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos will be the best!!! 🎵
[ He jumps down again, and slides an arm around her waist while the other one holds her hand up for an impromptu dance. ]
🎵 So let's prepare our dance,
we'll be ready in advance! 🎵
[ He spins her around and lets go again, his hands focusing on his instrument again to bring the song home! His eyes are closed as he shouts the rest of the lyrics at the top of his lungs. ]
She said yes! She said yes!
Oh, can you believe, she said YESSSS---!! 🎵🎵🎵
[ ...he takes a moment to catch his breath, then just looks at her with the straightest face. ]
I'm really glad you said yes.

[ Well, he had said he had prepared a song for a ‘yes’ answer…
This had to have taken a few hours of work and, as such, Pyrrha is appreciative of his effort. She watches without interrupting, laughing at various beats and smiling through-out. When he turns, so does she, and when he pulls her into a dance, her feet moves in step. It’s a bit like being in combat, their actions complementing the other intuitively. Words aren’t really needed, and never have been. The spin is precisely executed, nearly perfect.
When it ends, she takes a moment to simply breathe. And then! ]
Jaune.
Beacon rhymes with beaten.
[ But she's glad too. ]

[ He looks down at his guitar, then back at her again. Huh. So it does. ]
W-Well, I'm not singing it again!
C'mon, meet me at the rooftop for some practice.
[ He's about to leave the apartment, but stops and adds: ] Sparring, I mean! [ ...but brushing up on some dance moves wouldn't hurt either. ]

(( Immediately following this thread. ))
[ He should really remember to ask Pyrrha what the rest of her answering machine was supposed to say, but he keeps forgetting every time. If anything, it totally highlights the point of her message. ]
Pyrrha? Pyrrha!
Please pick up or call me as soon as you can!

[ A moment later, his phone starts to ring. When he picks up, he'll hear snippets of her conversation with someone else: ]
—quietly. Just for a second.
[ There's the sound of her heels, and then a door closing softly behind her. And then! Far more importantly: ]
Jaune! One of my students grabbed my CereVice. Is everything okay?

[ Blake, Ruby—
Pyrrha’s slow to respond immediately, eyes closing for a beat as she absorbs that information. Ruby and Blake, missing. The classroom seems far away, even if the door is sturdy up against her back, and there’s an unwelcome gnawing in her gut, deep and unforgiving. It’s the same feeling she had suffered their first few days, struggling with the possible lie of their ruptured world.
She doesn’t doubt for a moment that Yang would have torn up the streets looking for them. With a mental note to call Yang later - ]
I’m fine, Jaune. I’m right here.
[ Reassuring him is equally important. Her words are soft, tempo bound up by this news. ]
Why don’t we meet up for dinner in a few hours? We can look around for them. [ Just in case. ]

[ Left? Right? The difference between them can be confusing, especially when under pressure. This is the guy who has "left" and "right" labelled on the soles of his shoes just in case of emergency, so it's no surprise to anyone that he first turns right. It's only for a few seconds, though, and he realizes pretty quickly that she meant the other direction!
When he sees her waving at him, he naturally returns the gesture to her, smiling fondly. No words are said during this exchange, the wave is both a friendly hello and an indication that he'll see her again soon. ]

[ Honestly? ]
not really
[ Never one to be disadvantaged by such a simple thing as lacking a basic skill, however, Pyrrha sends a second text, immediately following the first. ]
but I'm sure it can't be too difficult to pick up the basics
between the two of us, we can solve your trouble :)

[ A moment later, the door to her bedroom opens and Pyrrha comes out to join him wherever he's sitting - kitchen table? She'll pull out a chair adjacent. Couch? She will perch on the arm to peer down at what he's doing. On top of the TV? ...Yeah, she can't help you with that, Partner. That's between you, the television set, and God. ]
It's sweet of you to want to help your friend, Jaune.
[ Reaching out, she pokes the fruit of his labour. ]
What do you need me to do?

[ C O U C H. ]
It just feels nice to be needed, y'know? It's like I'm being asked to save Christmas itself.
[ Appreciatively, he just looks up at her as she pokes his plush kitty. Next to him are a bunch of other small caps, fedoras and beanies as well as stuffed plushies of a fish, a rabbit and a puppy. ]
We gotta put these animals on these hats somehow.

[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on she door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be,Pyrrha is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Pyrrha. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she'll find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Pyrrha! I don't know if you'll remember me, but we talked at the slumber party! I just wanted you to know that I had a lot of fun, and it could only be as fun as it was because of everyone who was there, so along with a Christmas gift, you can think of this as a thank you gift too! We should all do it again some time, don't you think? And then we could talk even more! Though if you aren't busy we could talk any other time too, yup! I bet it would be fun!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Pyrrha's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: Two bracelets made out of braided gold ribbon, one decorated with white beads and one decorated with red beads, as well as a small hand carved wooden figure of a dog, painted white with little black spots all over it! There are also two vouchers for a decent sounding burger joint (not McCeres) in there, with a note taped to them that reads "Here! You and a friend should go out and have a yummy lunch together! I bet they'd like spending some time with you!"
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]

[ on the eve of christmas, pyrrha (or jaune!) will find two, neatly-wrapped parcels sitting on the front step of their apartment. one is labeled for jaune, and the other is labeled for pyrrha herself! in pyrrha's package, she'll find a diary and a note that reads: ]
Dear Pyrrha,
Merry Christmas. I noticed you have opted not to attend schooling here, and that just seemed a grave tragedy to me. The education system of Cerealia is surely missing out. But with that in mind, I thought you shouldn't be deprived of intellectual outlets, so I hope you find this diary of some use.
Sincerely,
Weiss Schnee
[ On Christmas Eve, Pyrrha will find a neatly packaged homemade CD on her bed. The cover itself is self-explanatory, it's a Christmas gift from your beloved team leader. Should she choose to pop the CD in a player, this is the recording that awaits her... ]
"Hey, Pyrrha! If you're listening to this right now, I'm probably dead. --No, just kidding!! I'm delivering the rest of these CDs to the other guys, including my secret santa person. I never even met him, so I hope he likes my music! Anyway, I sang something for you, too. I don't think I say it enough, but I'm so grateful that we ended up as partners... I don't know if I could do half the things I do if it weren't for you...
Anyway, Merry Christmas! I'll always be here for you, partner! And I'll see you soon!! But first, this is for you."
