They head back and a few things happen. Including... punishment time.

"Well, we should start heading back," Yang grinned. "Now that we all got our clothes, we're good to go..."

"Actually, we still need to get you your dress," Jaune said to Yang.

"...eh? What do you mean?" Yang blinked. "I already bought my dress for the dance..."

"Maybe for next dance..." Jaune grinned evilly, and Yang paled.

"No..." she whimpered.

"Well... Remember the punishment I have been hinting at for a while?" he asked. "I just came up with the perfect one to lay on you... And the best part? You gave me the idea..."

"Don't tell me..." Yang pleaded.

"Say hello to your dance dress!" Jaune declared, whipping out the pink frilly one she had jokingly offered him before.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" Yang wailed dramatically as Blake and Pyrrha were leaning against each other for support, they were laughing so hard at the epic backfire of Yang's earlier joke, and Ria of course could barely support herself in the air with her own hysterical cackling.

...

"I'm gonna look so... Girly!" Yang pouted as they walked back, before turning on Jaune. "You DO realize people will notice this isn't my style, don't you?"

Jaune grinned. While he had earlier decided against making them all wear silly dresses, for the suspicions it would cause, he actually realized he could get away with just Yang with a cover story. "Yeah... I got the cover story figured out," he replied. "If anyone brings it up, we're going to tell everyone that you also forgot to buy a dress before the dance until this morning, and that was the only one in your size we could find in short notice... It's perfectly believable with how much homework you forget to do," he added, making Blake, Pyrrha and Ria snigger.

"I don't forget!" Yang huffed. "I just don't bother with much of it! It's an infringement on our free time, damn it!"

(It's true, I despise schools giving out homework, they already had us for eight hours a day when we went, and demanding we do homework on top of that? Yeah, still pisses me off a bit just thinking back on that. Sorry to rant, lol)

"Welp, I'm off for now, I'll see you four at the dance!" Ria grinned. "And you might want to tell Yang not to skip out to avoid being seen in that dress, just in case," she added to Jaune.

"I wasn't going to!" Yang huffed. "I already promised to go with Blake here!" This got a blush from Blake as Jaune raised an interested eyebrow at that tidbit.

"Wait, you're coming to the dance Ria?" he asked the Erokami.

"Of course, I love parties, especially one with attendees that can actually see and interact with me!" Ria grinned. "Plus, I wouldn't miss Yang in that dress if you paid me!"

"Wait, do Erokami actually have currency?" Jaune blinked.

"Sure do!" Ria nodded. "Only useful in our society of course!"

"Right..." Jaune nodded. They soon entered the building, and they headed to their dorm as Ria popped off elsewhere. As soon as they arrived, Yang dropped the new dress on her bed like it was diseased, and hurried out with Blake, deciding to have a little personal time with her before the dance.

"...you know Master..." Pyrrha grinned, looking at Jaune. "Traditionally, people tend to have some fun with each other AFTER events like this dance..."

"And?" Juane asked curiously, looking at Pyrrha, who started undoing her clothing.

"We're not exactly in a traditional relationship... Are we?" she teased.
