So I got bored, and I was reading all these 'Jaune gets kicked out of Beacon' stories, and most of them were all serious or sad, and I figured, what if I did something a little more lighthearted and fun, at that moment, Magic Mike XXL came on. And I figured...I can make this work.
Anyways, so this was just me dicking around. There's not much, but hopefully I can make this a fun fic.
"I'm really sorry this happened Jaune…" Pyrrha said as his friends were watching him pack up.
"No, its okay….I knew the risk before coming here." Jaune said as he looked at Crocea Mors before putting it in his bag.
Who would have thought Cardin would have still turned him in after he saved his life? Well, he guessed it was too much to ask for him to have one shred of humility. But then again, Jaune did cheat his way into Beacon, so maybe in a way this was his comeuppance. Most of them were sad to see him go, but Weiss had a look of indifference on her face.
"Who am I going to pick on now Vomit boy?" Yang asked, while she was still mad that Jaune had cheated his way in, the air sick teen had a way of growing on you.
"You'll find another sickly scraggly blonde." He said as Ruby hugged him.
"I don't want you to go!" She said as he chuckled.
"Hey, I'll keep in touch, just because I'm leaving doesn't mean we can't all keep in touch." He said as they nodded.
"Look, I got your scroll numbers, its alright, I'll call you up sometime and we'll go and do something together." He said as that helped ease Ruby's worries.
"Who's gonna challenge me to a pancake eating contest now?!" Nora yelled out as Jaune had to resist the urge to laugh.
"Nora, you only keep doing that because you find it hilarious to see me on the floor in pain from an over engorged stomach." Nora had the decency to look sheepish.
"Heh heh, true, so what are you going to do?" Nora asked as everyone looked at him.
"Well, I can't go back home, my family isn't answering the phone…." That got everyone worried.
"Oh no no no! They didn't disown me or anything, it's just….well….it's probably time for their yearly vacation." He knew they usually had a family vacation each year, they went to an island for two weeks, and they had probably already started it, which meant they couldn't get a signal.
"So, what are you going to do then?" Pyrrha was a little worried.
"I'll rent a room in Vale, until then I'll find a job, besides, I'm sure I can find work somewhere." He said as he gave Pyrrha a hug.
He took one last look around the place before he sighed and pulled away.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I said on the roof that night, and if I had the chance to do it all again, I would have taken your offer, but hey, just because I'm leaving doesn't mean we still can't be friends, right?" That was kind of a stab to her heart.
"Yeah…friends…" She said even though a blind man could see she wanted a little something more.
"Well, I'm off." He said as he hefted his bag over his shoulder.
"Weiss, for what it's worth, sorry for bugging you so often." He said as he walked out of the door.
Who knows? Maybe some great adventure awaited him! Maybe he would do something great! Maybe he would be famous! Maybe he could be a CEO, maybe he could
ONE HOUR LATER
"SON OF A BITCH!" How the hell was this possible?!
He managed to find a place to rent, it was a beach side hut, which was surprisingly nice, but apparently the only reason it was so cheap to rent was because the original owners had been murdered inside it, and the land lord was desperate to get someone to live there rather than destroy it. So overall, that worked out in Jaune's favor.
But then came the moment where he had to find a job, and so far he had been getting screwed over. He tried dust shops, fast food markets, grocery stores, he had pretty much tried everything, but he couldn't find a single place that was hiring. This really sucked!
"What the hell am I going to do now?" He only had enough money til the end of the week, and most of it he spent on food.
Food and rent were expensive in Vale, so he needed to find a job fast, especially since he would be staying here for a while. In reality…Jaune had never called his family, he just couldn't. They never believed that he could be a huntsman, and when he got into Beacon, they told him that 'it was okay' for him to come home if it didn't work out. To him, that was a kick in the teeth. He loved his family, but that really hurt.
And now he had been kicked out of Beacon, and he just couldn't accept the fact that it turned out exactly like his parents said it would. And he didn't want them to see him as a failure. He would go home eventually, but he was hoping it would be on his own terms.
He learned that there was another way to become a huntsman from an old drunk in town. While it was preferable to go to an academy, one could be trained outside of a school, and then pass a huntsman registration test, it was hard, but it could work. There was just one problem.
The only person willing to train him was back at Beacon, and he could really only see her on the weekends at the most. And who knows how busy her schedule was.
"Gosh, this sucks!" He said as he was currently sitting down at a café.
"Having trouble kid?" A tall man with a cowboy hat looked at him.
"Like you wouldn't imagine." Jaune didn't care that he was talking to a stranger, he was pissed.
"Oh boy, what's got you up in a twist?" The wannabe cowboy asked as he sat down at the table Jaune was sitting at.
"Unemployment." That was his answer.
"Join the club kid, in this economy its hard to find a decent job, sometimes you got to take one that isn't exactly decent, but keeps your bills paid." Mr. Stetson said as he was drinking a black coffee.
"You know anything about that?" Jaune asked trying to make conversation.
"Kid trust me, I know EVERYTHING about that." He took a sip from his coffee.
"How do you deal with it?" Jaune really needed some advice right now.
"Well, I'm working currently, but, lets just say that the job I am a part of requires a certain level of…self confidence in yourself." Mr. Stetson said as he extended a hand.
"I'm Amarillo, Amarillo Sky." Jaune shook the man's hand as he proceeded to introduce himself.
"Jaune, Jaune Arc." He said as the man smiled.
"So I think I may be able to help you with your job hunt." He said as Jaune perked up.
"That would be great! I'll take it!" Then Jaune suddenly froze.
"Wait….this isn't anything illegal is it?" He asked as Amarillo chuckled.
"No no no! Nothing like that! It's just, well….can you dance?" He asked as Jaune nodded.
"Yeah, grew up with seven sisters." That mad Amarillo's eyes bulge out of his skull.
"Seven sisters? By Oum! Do your parents hate the idea of contraception?" Amarillo couldn't believe anyone could handle that many kids.
"They do but….sometimes it doesn't work, my dad even got a vasectomy and somehow I was still made." Jaune still had no idea how that happened.
They had a DNA test, and sure enough he was his dad's son, but how the fuck did that happen? Unless those doctors screwed up the vasectomy procedure. Which honestly wouldn't be that surprising.
"Dude, that's some messed up shit." Amarillo couldn't help but laugh.
"So what is the job?" Jaune asked as Amarillo sighed.
"Well…." He started.
LATER AT A CLUB
"You got be fucking kidding me!" Jaune yelled as he was currently backstage.
"Hey, I never said it would be a job you parade around." Amarillo said as he introduced Jaune to everyone.
"Okay, That's Maroon the man, that's Blue Balls over there, that's Vanilla Cream." Jaune was a bit confused by the names.
"Uhm, those aren't their real names are they?" He really would feel bad for them then.
"Oh no, those are their stage names, Well Maroon uses his real name, Blue Balls real name is Sapphire, and Vanilla's is Snow." Jaune felt a bit better at that.
"So who is the new guy?" Snow asked as Amarillo clapped Jaune on the back.
"A new recruit!" Jaune reeled back.
"Woah! I never said I wanted to be a stripper!" Jaune would never hear the end of it if his parents found out.
"You said you can't go home right?" Amarillo asked.
"Yeah…"
"And you can dance?"
"Of course…"
"And you can't find a job?"
"Unfortunately yes…."
"And you're desperate for one?"
"Okay I get it!"
Jaune didn't know what to think, he really needed the job, but could he really do this? Could he be a stripper? It honestly seemed like a bad idea. But then again, it was a lot better than being homeless. And he really did need money to help find a trainer to get him prepared for the Huntsman registration exam. So….his hands were tied.
"So, what do you think?" Sapphire said as Jaune sighed.
"Do I have to do this right away?" Jaune couldn't believe he was doing it.
"Nah Bro, tonight we'll just have you serving drinks, but tomorrow we're going to get you all dressed up, trust me the pay will be much better." Maroon tried to comfort Jaune's thoughts.
"…" Jaune was silent.
"I'm so sorry mom..."
