RWBY: Ren’s Rap

The dance was in full swing and everyone was having a good time, even the teachers. Lie Ren, sitting with Nora, pondered for a moment. The dance he did with his team was amazing, but he had to top that. Finally, it clicked! Since he was a kid, he had a huge love for rap music. That was more than enough to one up that dance!

Nora: You okay there, Ren?

Ren: *smirks* I’m great Nora.

Nora: …why do you have that look? I don’t like it.

Ren: *leaves his seat*

Nora: *frantic* Guys, Ren’s up to something!

Pyrrha: What do you mean, Nora?

Nora: He smirked! He never smirks unless he’s planning something devious!!!

Jaune: *eyes wide* …oh no.

Pyrrha: *sighs* Don’t you think you two are overreacting?

Nora: Pyrrha, sweetie, I’ve known Ren since forever. Believe me, this is NOT going to go well.

Jaune: *nods frantically*

Pyrrha: …okay?

Suddenly, Velvet announced on stage that Ren would be performing, earning very confused looks from everyone on the dance floor.

Velvet: Good luck Ren! *beams*

Ren grabbed hold of the microphone and snapped his fingers. Music started playing and the crowd murmured.

Ren: Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Sun: Lose Yourself?

Neptune: There’s no way!

Blake: T-This can’t be real, right?

Sage: He’s going to choke.

Ruby: *covers her face* I can’t watch!

Scarlet: Oh no, no, no.

Yang: I can’t tell if this is gonna be good or trainwreck.

Weiss: Of all songs, why a rap song? That doesn’t suit him at all.

Nora: *smiles devilishly* That’s my man.

Jaune: Okay, now I can relax.

Pyrrha: Huh? What happened to you two freaking out?!

Nora: If I knew he was gonna rap, I wouldn’t have worried.

Jaune: Trust me, you’ll be blown away.

Ren: His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy there’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin’ what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud. He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out. He’s chokin’, how, everybody’s jokin’ now. The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!

Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity! Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked! He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy? No! He won’t have it, he knows his whole back’s to these ropes! It don’t matter, he’s dope, he knows that, but he’s broke! He’s so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that’s when it’s back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody!Better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him!

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, you better never let it go!You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow! This opportunity comes once in a lifetime! You better lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, you better never let it go! You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow! This opportunity comes once in a lifetime!

Ruby: *peeks through her hand* ….woah!

Sun: Holy-

Blake: -Shit!

Yang: *records on scroll* A moment for history.

Neptune: ….

Weiss: Sweet Brothers!

Sage: Guess I was wrong.

Scarlet: *snaps his fingers to the beat*

Jaune: So Pyrrha, what do you think?

Pyrrha: …I’ve never seen anything more beautiful in my life.

Nora: *smiles* Now the whole school knows never to underestimate Ren.
