Okay. The Emerald Festival is kind of like Saint Patrick's Day and Mardis Gras for Vale. It is a week long festival celebrating the liberation of Vale from a siege by a Mistralian invasion force. After the force was routed and destroyed by allies, everyone got REALLY freaking drunk and partied for a whole week. The Emerald Emperor (Ozma's host at the time) got so drunk he handed out all the emeralds in the treasury to the people, and many other embarassing things.
(To this day, Ozipin still doesn't imbibe unless absolutely necessary).
So the week long celebration involves a lot of drinking, partying, and handing out green beads.
The Party was meant to be a preliminary one for the week long festivities. And in each timeline...
Ruby: Tried to sneak some booze, Yang kept her from it, and she got upset and stormed off. Jaune caught up with her. After some talking about her age and stress, she admitted she cared about him more than a friend but didn't know what to do or if he would even feel that way back. Jaune said he did care about her deeply, and did find her attractive. He agreed to go out with her, but slowly to make sure they didn't ruin their friendship. Ruby is very happy.
May: May had some booze, got a bit buzzed, lashed out at her team and staggered off. Jaune helped her, and talked to her. They bonded over their social isolation and decided to become friends, real friends. She asks him out on a date, and he says only if she's sober. Something she remembered the next day. He asks her, and she shyly agrees to go out to the festival with him.
Pyrrha: Got enough alcohol she finally cornered Jaune. Her advances scared him a little and he pulled her out for some air. Pyrrha broke down, admitted she loved Jaune. She had for a long time. She just couldn't figure out how to say it! Jaune admitted he did care for Pyrrha very much but thought her above him. She said he wasn't. But Jaune said they should take it slow, since they were both new to this. Pyrrha agreed happily and passed out. Jaune carried her home.
Arslan: Pyrrha drank to get her courage, but drank too much. Some boys tried to take advantage of her, Jaune and Arslan intervened. They put Pyrrha to bed, and talked. They got to know eachother through their mutual faith, and when Arslan realized he was the son of THAT Nick Arc, she wanted to be much closer friends with him. Jaune agreed and it grew into a romance from there.
Cinder: Got drunk, made out with Jaune. Ended up passing out. He carried her to a bed but she held onto him. They woke up together, still clothed. Cinder acted bashful and decided to use this to get closer to her targets, but eventually fell for Jaune. She finally admitted this at the Vytal Festival when she was about to get into Ozpin's office.
Emerald: It is a bit confused thanks to the fairy tale Amethyst's parents told her, so simplified: Cinder got drunk and told Emerald she never cared about her. Emerald ran off, destroyed. Jaune found her, and despite her anger and sorrow, he comforted her. They opened up to one another, and saw eachother a few more times. Emerald realized she couldn't go through with the plan anymore, and changed sides. Cinder, Mercury and Neo fled, and Cinder would meet her end years later thanks to Nora's hammer.
Weiss: Got a bit buzzed due to seeing Neptune flirting and carrying on with girls. She headed off. Ran into Jaune, who was getting some air. She awkwardly vents about Neptune. Jaune nods. Weiss says she heard from Yang that Jaune made Neptune go dancing with her. She asks why. He says all he wants is for her to be happy. Weiss finally sees that all his courtship attempts, while lame and full of bravado, were genuine. She asks if he'll walk with her under the moonlight and he agrees. They go on their first real date a week later.
Blake: Blake imbibes some drink and then wanders outside, her ears twitching. Finds Jaune, who was a little morose from his drinking. Jaune says it's fine if she removes her bow: He knows she's a Faunus... Honestly he's known for a while, thanks to the Faunus back in Radian. Blake is a little confused and curious. She asks him about his past, and he shares. She then shares her own story. Before the two of them know it, they're talking in depth. They actually become friends, and bond on their common interests. It takes longer for an actual romance to happen between them but it does.
Yang: Yang is a bit frustrated with being hit on constantly. She also tries to keep Ruby from drinking, but Ruby tells her off, that she's not a baby anymore and Yang isn't her mom. Hurt, Yang goes out to get some air, meets Jaune outside. He says he'll listen to her problems. She admits she's wanted to go on dates and be more social, but she's always had to worry about Ruby. She had to be her mom, and now she's growing up and she feels a bit lost. Jaune says he gets it, he was babied a lot growing up, but he doesn't resent his parents or family, and Ruby doesn't resent Yang either. They talk more, getting past their mutual defenses. Yang is a little more impulsive and asks Jaune to go out with her for fun sometime, now that Ruby can handle herself. Jaune agrees. Yang claims it isn't a date... But it turns into one.
Winter: Came to the party to talk to Weiss. Finds her drinking, is outraged and breaks it up. She and Weiss fight, say terrible things. Weiss storms off. Winter meets with Jaune, and Winter opens up to him. He listens and comforts her genuinely, saying he knows Weiss could never hate her big sister. His maturity and compassion impresses Winter, and she makes it a point to see him in the weeks leading up to Vytal. She doesn't summon up the courage to go on a date with him until years later in Atlas, and Jaune asks first.
Glynda: Broke up the party. Jaune covers for his friends' antics, and Glynda makes him her personal assistant for his detention. He helps her with paperwork, immensely thanks to the software he got from his sister-in-law, and they begin to bond and become close. Romance is very slow burn for these two, it isn't until Atlas they actually admit to their feelings and it isn't until Jaune returns aged up they start their relationship in full. But it starts here.
