Shortly after teams RWBY and ABRN had completed their battles, team JNPR left the stands and made their way toward the landing bay of the Amity Colosseum.
On their way out they were caught up in a rush, as crowds entering and leaving the stadium suddenly surged through.
Jaune found himself separated from the rest of his team, as he was ushered into a different airship.
Fortunately for him this airship was one that was headed toward the fairgrounds, which was where the rest of his team was headed.
Jaune sighed as he slumped into a seat, accidentally bumping into the person beside him a bit.
"Oh, sorry!" He said with an apologetic expression, which then turned to one of recognition. "Weren't you one of the huntresses going against team RWBY?"
A girl with turquoise hair that was partially hidden under a dark purple hoodie looked over at Jaune with a grin.
"No problem, guy. And yeah, I was. The name's Reese."
She put out a hand towards Jaune, who took it in a handshake.
"Jaune. Where's the rest of your team at?" He said, looking past her trying to find them.
"Haha. Well, we kinda got separated by the crowd. They ended up in a different airship than me, but at least I know we're going to the same place." Reese said optimistically.
"Huh. Small world. I'm in the same boat as you." Jaune said with a laugh. "What are the odds of that?"
Reese chuckled along with him. "Not very high, that's for sure."
Jaune's Scroll pinged at him. He opened it to find a message from his teammates.
They had already landed and told him where they'd be waiting for him.
At the same time Reese's own Scroll pinged at her; containing a very similar message to Jaune's.
The two showed each other their screens and shared a bewildered look before laughing again.
It truly was an odd predicament, with many chance occurrences that shouldn't have been likely to happen.
"Okay, now this is just getting weird." Reese said as she tried to keep from laughing some more.
Jaune nodded, managing to calm himself down. "I mean, it's cool in a way, but I can agree that it's a little weird."
"What do you think our teammates must be thinking?" Reese said curiously as she gazed at her Scroll once more. "I can imagine all of them being just as weirded out as us if they see the two of us step out of this airship together." She grinned at the prospect of it.
"I wonder if they're talking among each other and have already figured it out." Jaune mumbled idly. "Either way, this will be a good story to tell the others." Jaune said as he thought of his friends on other teams.
Inside the airship the intercom came to life, as the pilot announced to the passengers to prepare for docking.
"Okay, the airship is gonna land." Reese said with barely contained excitement. "I hope we get to see their surprised faces."
As the airship opened to allow its passengers to depart, Jaune walked alongside an eager Reese as they approached the location where their teammates awaited.
"Yeah, me too." Jaune said with a smile.
