Aside from the obligatory beach episode, I think a great idea would be a dance.

Thankfully, the Vytal Festival gives us a perfect opportunity to realize that. I imagine something akin to the Yule Ball during the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in that it would be students from the various kingdoms having a joint party. Part of my reason for thinking of this is after I saw the Jaune rig dance Monty posted. Having it at Junior's Club would be nice, just to get a reaction from Yang.

Weiss: Ohhhh! Aren't you excited about the Vytal Festival Student Dance?!

Yang: Sure, where is the shindig going down?

Weiss: I heard they reserved the night at Club [actual name of the club]. Seems they just finished renovating after some sort of disaster.

Yang: *gulps* Hehe, well, I am not sure if I am gonna go then.

Weiss: Huh, why not?

Yang: That place just isn't my style.

Ruby: Ohh! Isn't that the place where you- *cut off as Yang puts her hand over Ruby's mouth*

Yang: Got food poisoning? Yes, that is correct, really bad food poisoning. *gives Ruby a demented "shut up" look*

Naturally, as tends to be the case with dances in shows, it is an opportunity for shipping. The Ruby-Jaune-Pyrrha love triangle coming into effect and possibly a Weiss-Sun-Blake triangle. I would see Pyrrha having accepted a date from the first person who asked her, being so agreeable, and Jaune going with Ruby as a result. Weiss would be put on the spot on the other hand.

Sun: *walks up to Blake and Weiss as Blake gets a little fidgety* So, what do think about going to the dance with me?

Blake: Well, I- *cut off as Sun moves around her to directly face Weiss to Blake's astonishment*

Sun: *leaning in real close to Weiss* Princess?

Weiss: *wide-eyed and taken aback* I, uh, what? Me!? Why? *looking back and forth between him and Blake*

Sun: Why not? *smiles mischeviously*

Weiss: *getting flustered* Well, that is, you- I mean- Wait! Are you even allowed to go? Do you even have something to wear? It is a formal engagement. *lots of accusatory pointing*

Sun: Not the first party I crashed and I can get something easy enough. *winks*

Weiss: *stares blankly, lets her pointing finger slowly drop* I. . . . see.

Sun: So, what do you say?

Weiss: *looks nervously at Blake a few times to see Blake plainly uneasy* Um, I- I guess that would be fine.

Blake: Hmph! *walks off in a huff*

As a bit of added drama, they could have Weiss' father show up to look in on the dance and get absolutely livid seeing her on a date with a Faunus boy. Nora naturally drags Ren into going with her over any of his protestations. Yang, despite not wanting to get caught at the club she previously wrecked, gets stuck going and has to quietly avoid anyone working there who might remember her until she is inevitably spotted. To keep it plot-oriented there would be some shady back-room dealings at the club related to Torchwick's nefarious plot that some of them would end up investigating.
