Hello. Since I "finished" (wink, wink) my first story, I decided to start up another in the meantime. Now we all ( I assume at least, otherwise why would you be reading this at all?) have seen countless stories about team RWBY and their adventures. There even has been a decent splattering of Jaune stories. I can't disagree with that, everybody loves the blond goofball. However how many stories are about the dynamic duo of Nora and Ren? In response I typed this up. Expect lots of the excitable insane ball of energy on Team JNPR. Oh, and I suppose Nora will be there too.

Before I go, I just want to respond to the last four reviews from The Dust on the Field.

InfinityTempest-Thank you for the advice. I will try to work on that, especially in this story. About the typos, sorry I type kinda funny and weird stuff sometimes comes out. I try to catch them but I don't get them all. Thank you though. I won't you down. Probably, at least. I can't tell the future.

DV330- You are welcome! Hey now you have two. Double the glory, eh? Yeah the Magnhild/Gravity-Hammer similairity was part of the reason I thought of it. Hope you enjoy this!

FlamingGinger06- Thank you again again. I hope this other project of mine won't let you down. Admittingly, that may have been my highlight too. I honestly hope you still enjoy my stories for a while.

NeroEveren- Hahaha! Short, sweet, to the point. I like it!

Sorry about the rambling. Let's go before I accidentaly make some jokes. (Or did I already do that? Nevermind, just start the story.)

Nora's first defining moment was when she rode in on the Ursa like a crazed cowgirl on a sugar high (in other words, typical Nora). How exactly did she end up doing that though? Here's my guess.

Ren slowly walked through the Emerald Forest, sunlight filtering in through the dense trees. He was still sore from the fight with the King Taijitu and the resulting meet-up with Nora. Any and all meet-ups with Nora require firm hand-clasping and dancing in a circle like kindergarteners, singing "I found you, you found me, lets get together and hurt somebody". That was the reason Nora was banned from all restaurants, libraries, and muesuems in Vale. Even a few in the other kingdoms.

Nora was either skipping or dancing around him, Ren wasn't sure which, as they made their way through the dense greenery towards where he thought the temple was.

Nora suddenly stopped mid-dance (was that the Robot?) and took a deep breath. Ren mentally prepared himself. After all the time he spent with this girl he knew her mannerisms better than her own mother (who, quite frankly, still couldn't believe she survived giving birth to the girl. From the womb Nora was a tough fighter). Sure enough, Nora began her tirade as they continued walking once more.

"Ren, I couldn't believe I found you. Well actually of course I believed I would. It was impossible for us to not be together. I mean, not together together. Not saying that I'm saying you wouldn't be a good boyfriend Ren..." Ren smiled wearily and motioned for her to continue. "Anyway, I knew the sloth noises were a good idea! I did find you after all! Then again that's also because I know your smell very well and followed the scent trail you left."

Anybody else would have freaked out at that statement ( that or smelled their armpits). Ren, however, knew by now that after years of following the smells of pancakes across many kitchens, Nora had a highly-developed sense of smell. (She like's a dog in that regard, among other things like her personality.) Since she spent almost as much time with Ren as she did hunting pancakes, it is only natural for her to know his scent.

"Anywho, I wonder what the artifacts are. Oh I wonder who our teammates are gonna be Ren! Maybe we will meet up with that blond guy. Or that red-headed gal. Man wouldn't it be awesome if we teamed up with someone like me?" Nora stopped for a second at Ren's sudden choking fit, who was hunched over like an old man. After making sure he was fine, she continued.

"If only. I mean, we could play together, hunt down pancakes, and-". Nora stopped mid-sentence, gazing at something ahead at them. following her gaze, Ren saw an Ursa stumble into the clearing ahead of them. It looked injured and scarred, as if a metal blade of some sort had recently been slashed against his back. Ren looked back at Nora.

Nora began talking once more. She could keep on talking if an Beowulf was chewing her toes off as she stood in a vat of lava on the moon. "Ahhhhh, poor Ursa." she whined. Ren rolled his eyes. "Only Nora could feel bad for an Ursa." he thought to himself. Meanwhile Nora had continued. "It looks so peaceful, so docile. Almost as if one could ride it..."

Ren glanced at Nora as her sentence wandered off. The grin that started growing on her face and the look in her eyes conveyed to anyone else "I'm so happy with life and bunnies and flowers! Weee!". To Ren it was the look of a sadist that had just invented a new torture method. "Nora..." he started before Nora suddenly bolted to the Ursa.

Another Ursa wandered in while Nora was still running. Ren tried to shout a warning only to watch as Nora, without even noticing the new Ursa, swung Magnhild under her like she hammering a stake, firing as she went. The Ursa unfortunately tried to get under her to swipe at her, only to lose its head at the sight of Nora soaring off safely to the other Ursa. Literally. Nora accidentaly decapitated the Grimm as she pushed off, sending the head spiraling towards Ren. "Nora..." Ren said louder as the head landed at his feet with a digusting plunk!

The Ursa had stumbled into the clearing after suddenly losing consciousness early that day. It collapsed to its feet so tired it didn't notice the humans across the clearing. It definetly noticed them when the short orange-haired one landed hard onto its neck. The Ursa tried to rise and roar, only to feel a oh-so-restricting hold around its neck. Scrambling with its claws to detach the offending object, the Ursa began bucking around the clearing.

"Woooo!" Nora yelled as Magnhild kept its grip on the Ursa's throat. The creature had begun bucking around like a mustang, trying to get the thing off its neck. Nora, unlike most, was enjoying the experience. "Yipee-Ka-Yay, little Ursi!" she shouted as the creature began flinging her in earnest, its mask beginning to turn blue. She waved an imaginary hat around as she bounced and slid, laughing all the while.

"NORA!" Ren finally shouted to her, getting her attention. She glanced at him, miffed at her "ride" being interrupted.

"What?"

"We have to go get an artifact, remember?"

"Oh I remember Ren. In fact, before I forget..." Nora turned in her seat and released Magnhild. She instantly grabbed the Ursa's neck fur, made it face the direction of the temple, and slapped its rump. "Let's get going Ren! Last one there is a spoiled pancake!" The Ursa, enraged at this final insult to its Grimmhood, began charging in that direction, smashing trees aside like matchsticks.

"Nora that was not what I meant!" Ren called after her as he started running, only to trip over the other Ursa's head. Ren got back up and kicked the wretched thing aside. During that event Nora was getting farther and farther away. Ren chased after her, following the sounds of destruction.

"I hope for its sake that the Ursa can bear it." Ren thought to himself as he ran over ruined trees, Aura pushed to the max. He groaned as he realized what he just thought.

"I just hope I don't meet anyone punny, or else I would never hear the end of that." He thought as he kept running, the temple within sight and a pile of blond hair within view.

So how's my second story's first chapter? Good, bad, eh? If any are disappointed, I'm sorry. It's just I need to write other things too, you know? Anyway, review, groan, complain, or slap me over the internet. Whatever works. Just remember to enjoy yourself!
