PSYCH! I LIED MATHA F&*^)!, APRIL FOOLS! I wouldn't drop this fick for the life of me. But i do hate coins. WITH SO MUCH PASSION, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE. But with that out of the way, let's get the Authors Notes over with shall we?

Hello again my dear, loyal readers! Well, here i am! but i must remind you that there are certain limits to what i can do in regards to Pairings. That being said. i cant pair Jaune up with Summer. Why? Because she already has a kid with a very still alive husband. Who that husband is, you'll find out in this chapter. Another announcement, if you do have a pairing that you would like to see, and i mean REALLY want to see it happen, then i can probably do a quick one-shot with them. Now, with the formalities out of the way, i would just like to say a little something else regarding the reviews...could you not review as a guest. it's kind of frustrating not being able to reply to them if i want to answer a question, and/or clarify any misconceptions you may have. Also, another piece of news, i have decided that i will be writing another story along with this one. I will switch which story i update every month. I put a Poll up to allow you guys to choose. Now, on with the story!


They had begun talking again. they had exchanged information with each other, such as their past experiences, and even what their favorite colors were! Though, Jaune didn't exchange much else with her. For...obvious reasons. But not long after, they had arrived within visual range of the rather moderate house. It was mostly made of wood from what he could tell. it didn't have much to offer color wise. But it did give off a very inviting aura.

"Yeah, she had pink hair for a whole month! It was hilarious!" Summer said, laughing along with Jaune, talking about how she had put hair dye in her teammate's shampoo. But was soon adorning a sort of thousand yard stare. "But at what cost..." Summer said, remembering the horrific scene of all those cookies being sliced, burned, frozen, and blown up by that...that...MAD WOMAN!

"Are you okay there Summer?" Jaune asked, a worrying look on his face. She went distant for a while. But apparently he knocked her out of her funk and looked up in mild shock.

"Wha? oh, right. Sorry about that Jaune. Bad memories. But anyways, enough about me, what about you? i'm sure you have some interesting tales to tell me." Summer said, giving him a warm smile. Jaune however, was having a small panic attack.

'Oh ssssshhhhhhh-'

"Shortstack?" A new voice called out, making the two look towards a tall, gruff man with a red and tattered cape.

"Oh, hey Qrow. i was just talking to my new friend here, what's up?" Summer asked the now named Qrow. He, on his part, looked skeptically at Jaune, practically trying to look into his soul. it was kind of creepy actually.

"Um...hi." Jaune greeted, letting out a mental sigh of relief. He really dodged a bullet there. It would not have ended in his favor if he tried to lie his ear off. Because that was bad...or, according to Summer that is.

"Huh..." Qrow started after eyeing him up and down, then he turned to Summer. "Who's the brat?" He asked.

...Well that was rude.

"Well Qrow, when i was on my last mission, i found this little guy in the middle of the Grimlands. Could you believe that? He survived out there despite how dangerous it was." Summer said, kneeling down to Jaune's side and grabbing him in a sideways hug, still looking at Qrow. He seemed to narrow his eyes a bit at Jaune before sighing and looking to the side, mumbling something like 'kids these days' or something. He couldn't quite catch it.

"Grimlands huh? Well, i'll admit that that's a pretty admirable feat there little brat. How long were you in there for? A month?" Qrow asked, an eyebrow raised. Jaune just starred awkwardly to the side. But Summer's smile only seemed to grow.

"That's the thing. he's been in there his whole life! Isn't that crazy!?" Summer said, pride simply rolling off of her. "Oh, and I've decided that he will be staying with us until either i say so or until he leaves for a Huntsman Academy. He want's to be a Huntsman just like us! Isn't that exciting!?" Summer said enthusiastically. Qrow however, immediately looked back at Jaune, eyes once again narrowed. Okay, Jaune was starting to have enough of this.

"Could you...you know. not stare at me like that. I really don't feel comfortable with the way you're looking at me right now."

*STARING INTENSIFIES*

"Gah!" Jaune shouted, being surprised by the sudden intensity of the man's stare. Summer merely looked at Qrow and had a face that practically screamed 'Srsly?'. Qrow kept his gaze for a few more seconds before letting it go and chuckling a bit.

"What? I'm just testing the kid. I'm sure he's faced much worse before. ain't that right you brat?" Okay, that's the other thing. being called 'brat' was kind of grinding his nerves. And the guy seemed to know it too! however, he reigned his emotions in and simply smiled at him.

"Yep! Though, the...Beringal was it? Well, the guerrilla things were kind of tough to beat down, seeing as how their sturdy, fast, agile, and crazy strong too. But i did what i had to do." Jaune said, thinking of what kinds of strong Grim there were. And WOW were there a lot. Like how there were supposedly five 'legendary' Grim that were exceptionally powerful. one was named, 'The Tyrant of Adaptation', another called 'The Hydra of Infinity', 'The Dracule of immortality', 'The Leviathan', and 'The Army of Pantheons'. Ooo, and there was even one that was that was rumored to have controlled these legendary warriors of Grim. With nothing but the nickname...'Ragnarok'.

"Beringal huh? Yeah, I've had my run ins with some of those. Not too much trouble, but trick to it is to just take out the legs. That way, it wont be able to move. Am i right?" Qrow said, getting the information wrong on purpose as to try and see if the kid really did fight a Beringal.

"The...legs? but it can just carry itself with it's arms no problem. And while it may be difficult, you should always try to either disable it by damaging it's arms, or try to go for it's head strait out." Jaune said, quick with finding the info he needed. Man...as much as he hates the...thing. His father gave him a pretty useful tool.

"Humph. i guess you really did fight a Beringal. Whatever. Come on Shortstack. We got a daughter and a niece to get back to." Qrow said, turning around and heading towards the house that was not too far away now.

"Alright Qrow. Come on Jaune, let's go introduce you to the rest of the family." Summer said. And Jaune looked at her for a second before smiling and walking with her.

"I would love that."

(Time Break Presented To You By a Chibi Jaune And Summer Walking Down A Dirt Path With Qrow A Little Ways Ahead Of Them)

"Well. We're here. I'll go tell the rest of the gang that you're back. Meanwhile, you should tell your...'friend', the rules of the house before you bring him in." Qrow said, looking back toward the two before walking inside the house, leaving Jaune and Summer by themselves.

"Right. The rules." Summer said to herself, before looking down at Jaune. "Well. I guess i have to. Okay. Jaune. Rule number one of the house: No Cursing. if i catch you doing it, that's a time out for at least five minutes and at maximum half an hour. Rule number two: No going into the adults rooms. There's a reason why we have separate rooms from our children. So unless we extensively call you into our room, or it's a life or death emergency, you don't go in there, okay?" Summer asked, getting a nod of conformation from him. "Now, rule number three: No fighting inside the house. otherwise you have to clean up the mess and your're grounded for a week. Rule number four: Don't touch the special hair conditioner. You'll learn why when we get inside. Rule number five: DON'T TOUCH THE COOKIES...or, at least without asking me first. Rule number six: When one of the adults asks you to do something, you do it...unless it's Qrow. you should only listen to him when either me or Ta-...another responsible adult is around. Oum only knows what kind of trouble he'll get you into. And that's about it. But there'll probably be some other things along the way that we'll talk about when we get to it." Summer finished, sighing and looking back to the house to see that Qrow and another man come out the front door.

The man was tall, slightly tanned, and blonde, like Jaune, but of a lighter shade. his outfit consisted of a light golden brown short sleeved button up shirt, a chocolate brown vest going over it. He also wore some light brown cargo shorts accompanied by some sandals...and a blue hat turned backwards? Oooookay, a bit weird. But, he's still an adult, so he'll show him the respect he deserves. Another thing Summer told him on their walk here.

"Hello, my name is Jaune. Jaune Noir. It's nice to meet you." Jaune said, bowing a small bit. Qrow just snickered while the other man just tilted his head and raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, nice to meet you too i guess. Summer, the heck is this?" The man asked her, still looking at Jaune with confusion. Summer simply smiled before wrapping one of her arms around Jaune's shoulders.

"This is Jaune Noir, as he's already told you. And I found him during the mission i just came back from. Apparently, he's been living out in the Grimlands for his entire life. Isn't that something?" Summer asked, looking at the man who just raised both his eyebrows before chuckling to himself and shaking his head.

"Of course he did. And may i ask why he's here?" The man asked. He seemed like a pretty chill guy. Didn't even ask any more questions or even give Jaune the same gaze that Qrow gave him.

"Well, i thought that he could stay with us for a while. you see, he...has no other place to stay." Summer said attentively, hugging Jaune fully now.

The man looked on for a few moments before giving an easygoing smile and a thumbs up. "Sure. And i'm more than certain that you told him the rules already?" The man asked, getting a nod from her. And he turned to walk away.

"Ahem." Summer cleared her throat to get his attention. He simply looked back and noticed Summer gesturing him to Jaune with her head. He looked confused for a brief second before realizing what she was trying to say.

"Oh, where are my manners?" Tai realized going to try and introduce himself before Qrow spoke up.

"Probably with your 'coolness' back in Beacon, next to that 'sexiness' you kept boasting about." Qrow interrupted, snickering at him. The man didn't even look at him, simply going silent for a moment before responding.

"Shut the fuck up Qrow." The man said, his easy-going smile never leaving his face.

"Ah ah ah! That's another Lien in the swear-jar." Summer scolded, pointing an accusing finger at him. he simply gestured his hands in a 'calm down' motion.

"Yeah yeah, i know. But as i was trying to say. The names Taiyang. You can just call me Tai if you want though. Doesn't really matter to me." Tai said, giving a tiny wave. "Anyway, I'm heading inside to take a nap. i'm kind of tired from all the work yesterday. don't hesitate to wake me if something comes up." Tai yawned out, walking inside the house with a slouch.

"Alright. i'll wake you for dinner if you're not up by then." Summer called as Tai disappeared into the house. But as soon as she called out, two voices made themselves present.

"Mom/Aunt Summer!"

Two children ran out of the house and into Summers awaiting arms.

"Hey there my little Huntresses! Did you miss me?" Summer asked. the two looked up at her and smiled brightly.

"Yeah!"

"I missed you too! and guess what?" Summer asked, earning a pair of curious looks from the girls. "I found a new friend on my mission. and he's going to be staying with us for a while, okay?" Summer questioned, causing the two girls to finally notice Jaune awkwardly standing there. The blonde one looked at him with curiosity while the one with the red tipped hair shyly hid behind Summer.

"Don't worry girls, he's friendly. Go ahead and talk to him." Summer said, gently leading the girl behind her to join the other one. The blonde was the first to speak up.

"Hi there. I'm Yang. And this here is my cousin Ruby." The blonde, now known as Yang said, while she held Ruby in a sideways hug. Ruby just looked up at him shyly.

"H-hi." Ruby managed to squeak out, shuffling in place. The pair of dog ears on top of her head twitching slightly as she was both nervous to meet someone new and excited at the possibility of making a new friend. her tail almost made that definite if it's slight wagging was anything to go by

'so cuuuuuute.' Jaune thought, but quickly snapped himself out of his thoughts and introduced himself.

"Hello. My name is Jaune. And i hope we can become good friends." Jaune said, smiling at the two. Yang just grinned at him while Ruby just looked at him in surprise before smiling brightly at him, Her ears perking up and her tail wagging freely now.

"Yeah!" Ruby spoke, giving him an adorable smile, jumping like an excited puppy. Jaune had to actually keep himself from overloading at how much cuteness he was witnessing. Summer walked up behind them and had a bright smile on her face. seeing her children get along so well made her really happy. Qrow...was Qrow. she's used to it now that she's been married to him for over six years, but she expected that he could have at least talked to him about a normal topic. But to each their own she supposed. Seeing that her kids were all playing around, she decided that she could rest for a small bit. She would have to go back to Beacon and give a fully detailed report, but that could wait until tomorrow.

"Well. Welcome to your new family, Jaune."
