I'm really sorry for taking so long with this chapter, guys. I'll be honest, there were days where I just didn't write anything and I blame myself. That and the theme of this chapter was tough, since I don't write a lot of JNPR. I guess I should let you guys know some old news about RWBY. If you watch death battle on YouTube, it was announced that Yang would be in one against Tifa. That should be cool. We also have Volume 3 coming up very soon and the opening for it is actually already up on Roosterteeth's channel, so you guys should check it out.
Here's chapter 7 everyone.
"I still can't believe you guys didn't just call for an airship." Ruby said.
Jaune drank some water and said. "We weren't about to leave Nora down there by herself. And you know she wasn't going to follow us even if we begged."
"Even if Ren had said please?" Ruby asked.
Jaune shook his head. "Nora wanted to…exercise, since we've apparently been lazy, even though Pyrrha and I have been training every day!"
Nora walked over to the two team leaders. "Training with your sword doesn't count, Jaune. And don't be so whiny. It was fun!"
Jaune sighed. "By fun, do you mean tiring? Cause that's all it was, Nora."
Ruby chuckled. "I don't know, Jaune. Maybe it could've been fun if you were a little closer to Beacon."
"Said the girl with the speed semblance. You wouldn't even wait up for anyone and get to Beacon in no time." Jaune stated.
"Ah, come on, Jaune. I wouldn't do that. And even if I did, it would still take me a lot of time with my semblance, since I'd use up too much aura." Ruby said.
"Yeah, yeah, so to get off topic a bit, I heard Ms. Goodwitch looked after Weiss yesterday. She wasn't scared by her, was she?" Jaune assumed.
Ruby smiled. "Actually, Jaune…Weiss had a good time. Ms. Goodwitch even bought her some dust crystals yesterday for her to use later and actually smiled when Weiss hugged her goodbye."
Jaune was taken aback by that. "Wow, really? That sounds nothing like Ms. Goodwitch."
"And what doesn't sound like me, Mr. Arc?" A voice said which caused Jaune to jump in his seat.
Jaune turned and saw an angered looking Glynda. "U-Um, h-hi, Ms. Goodwitch. I was just saying-."
"Enough! Be quiet and finish eating your breakfast! I don't need you and the others throwing your unfinished food at each other again. Miss Rose, come with me." Glynda ordered.
Ruby was a little confused. "What's going on? Why do you need me to follow you?"
"It seems that your sister has decided that she'd enjoy being suspended for the day. Her encounter with Mr. Winchester yesterday was not ignored, even if I wasn't there. And you and Miss Belladonna were a part of that." Glynda reminded.
"What?! But that wasn't our fault! Cardin was bullying another student!" Ruby stated.
"Even so, you and the rest of your team shouldn't have tried to take things in your own hands. And don't try to go to Ozpin about this. I have spoken to him about it and he agrees that you'll be suspended for the day." Glynda said.
"B-But what about Weiss? You can't leave her by herself." Ruby said in a worried tone.
Glynda sighed. "Miss Rose, I'm sorry, but I can't just ignore this kind of behavior. And while I do wish that I could allow one of you to stay with Miss Schnee today, I cannot."
"We can watch her!" Nora suddenly offered.
Ruby turned to the orange haired girl. "Are you sure, Nora? I think the others are still kind of tired from the walk to Beacon."
"Nah, Ren actually got up kind of early to make breakfast and meditate. And Pyrrha got enough rest, heck she's actually training right now to make up for missing her nightly training sessions last night. And besides, you did say we were supposed to watch Weiss yesterday. It'll be fun, right, Jaune?!" Nora looked to Jaune.
"I don't mind looking after her, but after what happened the other day, is she going to be okay with it, Ruby?" Jaune inquired.
"What happened the other day? Do you mean when Nora scared her?" Nora frowned at the memory and Jaune nodded. "Oh, well don't worry about that. Nora gave her apology cookies. And we did promise that you guys are nice, so I'm sure she'll be happy to be in your care today. I just kind of feel bad."
"Why?" Jaune asked.
"Yang promised her yesterday that we'd be taking care of her today. All of us, but now we're all suspended. I think she was really excited for today." Ruby frowned.
Nora jumped out of her seat. "Don't worry, Ruby! I'm sure Weiss will have a lot of fun with us, though I doubt we'd be able to go to Vale, since Ren doesn't trust me to get on an airship right now. Beacon is still a great place to enjoy the day!"
Ruby let out a small smile. "Thanks, Nora. Okay, um, Ms. Goodwitch? Is it okay if I at least tell Weiss that we're suspended? I'd rather be the one to tell her, if you don't mind."
"Actually, Miss Schnee is waiting in Professor Ozpin's office with Miss Belladonna and your sister. So there is no need to look for her." Glynda said.
"So she knows already?" Ruby asked in a saddened tone, since she knew the heiress wasn't going to be completely happy with how the day was going to turn out.
"Not exactly, we were about to explain to her, but I needed to retrieve you first. Now let's go." Glynda ordered.
Ruby sighed. "Nora, Jaune, is it okay if you guys come with me? Weiss is gonna need someone to follow after we explain to her what's happening today."
Jaune nodded. "Sure, just let me tell Pyrrha and Ren that we're gonna be watching her."
"I still don't see the problem, sir. Cardin is a jerk and he deserved it!" Yang whined.
"Miss Xiao Long, while I don't condone Mr. Winchester's behavior, I cannot simply ignore what you did. I'm sorry." Ozpin said.
"Oh come on! We had that food fight last year and that wasn't much of an issue." Yang reminded.
Ozpin took a sip of his coffee. "That food fight didn't seriously injure another student. Mr. Winchester and his team are still in the infirmary."
"And let me guess, they're not gonna be suspended after they get out, huh?" Yang assumed.
"You'd guess wrong. Team CRDL behavior has not and will not be ignored. Anytime they are involved with disturbing another student-." Ozpin was cut off.
"Bullying." Blake suddenly said.
"Yes, well they won't be getting off easy. Although, neither will you or the rest of the team." Ozpin said.
Yang sighed and Weiss frowned. "Does that mean you, Ruby and Blake aren't going to be able to take care of me today?"
Yang looked down at the little heiress and frowned. "I'm sorry, Weissicle. I got a little mad yesterday and caused this. We…We won't be able spend the day with you."
Weiss looked to the headmaster. "P-Professor Ozpin…Can't you let them have a warning instead?"
Ozpin set his coffee mug down. "I'm sorry, but as much as I'd like to, I can't simply let someone out of trouble like that. It's only for one day, so I'm sure you'll be okay with a different caretaker for the day."
Weiss felt like she wanted to cry, but held it in. She was surprised when she heard the door open and Ruby walked in with Ms. Goodwitch, Jaune and Nora.
Ruby walked over to Weiss. "Hey, Weiss."
Weiss had a sad look on her face. "O-Ozpin said you, Blake and Yang won't be able to take care of me today."
Ruby frowned. "I thought you were gonna wait till I got here to tell her, Professor Ozpin?"
Ozpin sighed. "I had to explain to Yang why she was in trouble. Look girls…I don't like suspending students, but you all must understand that there are rules and when you break them, there are punishments." Ozpin looked over at Jaune and Nora. "Ah, well it's good you both showed up. Mister Arc, how is your team doing today? I know they must've been very tired from your trip back"
"Huh? O-Oh, well Nora is fine as you can see. Um, Pyrrha is actually doing okay. And Ren…Well he's awake, so I guess he's okay." Jaune explained.
Ozpin nodded. "Good, then you and your team can watch Miss Schnee for the rest of the day while Team RWBY is suspended."
Nora spoke up "Actually, we already offered to take care of her!" Nora runs over to Weiss. "Heya, Weiss! You ready to have a fun day with Team JNPR?!"
Weiss had her saddened face still and Ruby leaned down to whisper. "Remember what I told you about them. They're nice, so I know you'll have a great time. And I swear. Tomorrow we'll make it up to you for us messing up and getting suspended."
The little heiress looked up at Nora. "W-Will your friend makes more of those cookies again?"
Nora nodded. "Yup! I'm sure Ren would love to make you some! I'll just need to tell him and he'll bake you up a whole batch, right Jaune?"
"U-Um, yeah. Ren makes a lot of food for us, so I'm sure he won't mind making you some cookies." Jaune assured.
Weiss let out a small smile and Ruby said. "Then it's settled. Jaune, Nora. Thanks for this."
"Don't mention it, Ruby. Pyrrha already told me it's okay and Ren is fine with it too, but Ren said he'll join up with us when he's done meditating and Pyrrha is gonna be finishing up her morning training, so it'll be just Nora and I watching her for a bit." Jaune mentioned.
Weiss looked up at Jaune. "Um…Your zipper is down."
Jaune's eyes widened and he ran out the room to fix his pants zipper. "Oh come on! I swear it was up this time!"
Weiss giggled and the others just laughed.
Glynda sighed. "Come now, Miss Schnee. Let's get you over to Team JNPR's room."
Weiss got up from the chair and hugged Ruby. "I wish I could spend more time with you, Blake and Yang today."
Ruby hugged her back. "Don't worry, Weiss. Once we're allowed to head back to the dorm, we'll come get you. And remember, tomorrow we're gonna be making it up to you."
Weiss gave a small smile and hugged Blake and Yang afterwards. She turned to follow Nora and Glynda out of the room, but not before giving a sad look when she turned around and saw her three friends speaking with Ozpin about their suspension.
Nora noticed Weiss' saddened expression while they were walking to the dorm. "I know you're sad, but trust me. We'll have a lot of fun, Weiss."
Weiss nodded and continued to walk without saying a word. Nora knew she had to do more to make Weiss happy, since the little heiress connected with the rest of Team RWBY so well that she hated being away from them.
"Okay, were here." Glynda said. "You two make sure to not let her out of your sight. Understand?"
Jaune nodded. "We won't mess anything up, Miss Goodwitch. That's a team leader's promise."
Glynda rolled her eyes and leaned down to the little heiress. "If they give you trouble, just let me or Professor Ozpin know. We'll find someone more suitable to watch you if it comes to that."
Weiss nodded and watched as Glynda smiled and walked away. She followed Jaune and Nora into their room and looked around to see that there weren't any bunk beds.
Weiss frowned. "How come there aren't any bunk beds?"
Jaune looked confused. "Huh? Oh, well we don't have bunk beds, Weiss."
"O-Oh…Okay." The little heiress said in a saddened tone.
Nora noticed her saddened tone and ran over to her. "Hey, don't be sad. Jaune and I will make bunk beds for you, right Jaune?!"
"W-What?! Nora! We can't-." Jaune was cut off.
"It's settled! Come on, Jaune! Get to work!" Nora then ran over and started to move the beds around. She then gave Jaune a look and motioned him to look over at Weiss.
The blonde leader glanced over and saw the little heiress with a frown on her face. "W-Weiss…I…Okay, getting to work. You'll have bunk beds in no time."
The little heiress gave a small smile and Jaune was happy to make her smile, though he didn't find making bunk beds all that useful, since he and his team were only taking care of Weiss for the day.
It took a bit of borrow RWBY's bunk bed design and some time to set up, but both Nora and Jaune managed to get the bunk beds finished up. Nora thought the bunk beds were awesome and hoped that they'd keep them even after they sent Weiss back, but Jaune shot the idea down immediately. He was never an assertive leader, but sometimes, he wasn't going to stay quiet when an idea he didn't like was suggested. Nora was a little annoyed that the idea was shot down, but a talk she had with Ren about respecting Jaune's decisions as team leader made her relax.
Weiss on the other hand didn't really have much to say, except for a thank you, as Jaune helped her get on top of the bunk bed. "I don't like the top all that much, but look! I'm taller than both of you now!"
Nora chuckled and got on top of the other bunk bed. "Oh yeah! Well lookie here, Weissy! I'm taller now!"
Weiss' cheeks puffed and she looked to Jaune. "Get up here and let me get on your shoulders!"
Jaune's expression on his face changed to fear. "U-Uh…Weiss…We'd fall if I did that."
"Not if you take your heavy armor off. Now come on! I wanna be taller!" Weiss whined.
Jaune sighed. "I thought you were shy around us. What happened to that?"
"Well…I…I think you're nice people, but…She's trying to win in the height contest! I wanna win!" Weiss exclaimed.
Jaune gave a look of defeat and took his armor off. He was now in his undershirt and pants as he climbed up on the bed, being as careful as possible to not shake it. "O-Okay, I'm up. So…Just take it easy when you get on my shoulders. We don't wanna have this fall down now."
Weiss nodded and slowly got up on his shoulders. The bed shook a little and Jaune grew worried, but the little heiress didn't seem to be afraid.
She got as high as she could and smiled. "Ha! I win! I'm higher now!"
Nora chuckled. "You may have won this round, Weissy, but I'm still queen, so my orders are law!"
Jaune groaned. "Nora…We talked about your queen persona."
"What persona? I'm always the queen, Jaune…And don't you forget it!" Nora shouted when she jumped off the bed.
The little heiress giggled and climbed off of Jaune's back. "But I'm an actual heiress, so I have more power than you!"
Nora gasped. "S-She's right!"
Jaune looked annoyed and just sighed.
How did I get stuck with this?
Nora got on a knee and said. "How may I serve you, Lady Weiss?"
Jaune blinked. "N-Nora…Uh…What are you doing?"
Nora shushed him and waited on Weiss' command. The little heiress just looked down from the bunk and thought about it. "Hmm, well you could fight someone for my amusement. Is there anyone you wish to fight?"
Nora looked to Jaune, who immediately shook his head. "No way, Nora. I am not fighting you after yesterday's walk you made us go on."
"But Jaune! Queen Weiss demands an entertaining fight!" Nora whined.
"Then find someone else, as your team leader…I order it." Jaune said.
Weiss coughed to get their attention. "You may choose another opponent, but hurry. I wanna see you fight someone."
Nora nodded. "I will find a worthy foe at once, Lady Weiss, though I still need to stay by your side to protect you. So if it isn't any trouble, come with me while I find someone suitable to fight."
The little heiress giggled at Nora's noble voice she had been using and said. "Okay, but we have to bring the blonde one too. He can't be left alone, especially after forgetting to zip his pants up."
Jaune groaned. "I forgot once, okay!"
"Uh…Actually." Weiss pointed at his pants.
Jaune looked down and ran out into the hallway. "Ugh! Again?! How did it even get unzipped this time?!"
Nora laughed and helped Weiss down from the bunk. "Lady Weiss, if you would, take my hand. The hallways of Beacon may be filled with monsters, so I swear on my life to protect you as your faithful knight."
Weiss never really felt like royalty in her younger years, even as the heiress, but somehow, Nora was making her like the feeling. She took her hand. "I trust you to keep me safe, Knight Captain Nora."
"Sweet! I'm a Knight Captain…I mean…Of course, Lady Weiss, but what of Dorky Knight Jaune?" Nora inquired.
"I heard that, Nora!" Jaune shouted.
Weiss giggled. "Hmm, well I suppose I should give him a break, since he has been making a fool of himself and has helped me defeat you in our height contest. He may follow us and maybe even prove his Knighthood by defeating his own opponent in battle."
Jaune walked back in and sighed. "Weiss…I'm a little tired for-."
Nora cut him off. "Hey! That's Lady Weiss to you, Dorky Knight Jaune."
Jaune sighed. "Fine…Lady Weiss, I'm still really tired from yesterday, so maybe I can skip out on the fighting…I mean, is that okay with you, my lady?"
"I guess you may sit a fight out, but…In place of that, I want you to give me a piggy back ride while we walk." Weiss said.
"Okay, I can handle that. Just don't pull on my hair or ears please." Jaune requested as he helped the little heiress up for the piggy back ride.
Weiss smiled. "I won't pull on your hair or ears, Dorky Knight Jaune."
"Uh…Can I please have a better rank than Dorky Knight, Lady Weiss?" Jaune hoped.
"Let me think about it on the way to the training room. For now, let's go!" Weiss ordered.
Jaune wasn't sure how he had lost control of Nora and Weiss that quickly in the day and hoped that Pyrrha would soon show up from her training to help him deal with them.
Once they got to the training room, they ran into Cardin and his team. "Nora…Maybe we should turn back. We don't need Cardin trying to bother us while we're taking care of Weiss."
"Hmm, I have a better idea. Just go take Lady Weiss over to the seats and I'll put on a great show for her." Nora suggested.
Before Jaune could say anything about it, Weiss spoke up. "That boy…You said his name was Cardin. Ruby, Blake and Yang got suspended because of him."
"That's what we were told, yeah, but he's supposed to still be in the infirmary. I wonder why he and his team are out and about, especially in the training room." Jaune said.
"Whatever, just go ahead and get Lady Weiss to a good viewing point, Dorky Knight Jaune." Nora commanded.
Jaune groaned. "Dorky Knight isn't even a real rank or title, Nora." Jaune then moved over to the seats and sat the little heiress down. "I hope she doesn't break his legs…Or maybe she should."
"I don't like him." Weiss suddenly said in an angered tone.
"Not many do, Wei-…I mean Lady Weiss. He's a bully, especially to a lot of Faunus students." Jaune explained.
Weiss thought about her experience in Vale the other day with Blake and her nightmare about her father being horrible to the Faunus. It made her glare at Cardin with anger, as she wasn't happy with that kind of behavior and hoped her Knight Captain would teach him a lesson.
"Cardin, we should seriously get back to the infirmary. Goodwitch is gonna catch us outside of it and suspend us for what happened yesterday." Sky warned.
Cardin swung his mace at a practice dummy. "You need to relax, man. Goodwitch is way too busy to be out in the training room."
Dove spoke up. "I don't know, Cardin. If anyone catches us, they might report us."
"Sheesh, will you both stop acting like such wussies?! If anyone even thinks of reporting that we're out of the infirmary, then we'll just make sure they keep their damn mouths shut." Cardin said.
"I'd rather handle you without telling anyone, if you don't mind." Nora said, which made Cardin and his team turn to her.
"What the heck? Oh it's the crazy one from the wimp's team. What's wrong, crazy? Haven't had your shares of pancakes or something. Why don't you go ask you little boyfriend to make you some? Since I'm sure that's all he's good at." Cardin began to laugh.
Nora kept her cool and laughed back as she pulled her hammer out. "Oh don't worry about Ren and you do know that we aren't together together. I'm just here to give my queen a good show is all."
Cardin didn't get what Nora meant by that. "Uh, your queen?"
"Yup. So what do you say, Cardin? Wanna try to show me how tough you are in a fight?" Nora smiled, but in her mind she was ready to beat Cardin down for insulting Ren the way he did.
"Uh oh." Jaune said. "The way Nora is acting right now, I can tell she isn't just in the mood to fight. She's not too happy with what Cardin said."
Weiss looked a little confused, since what she was seeing didn't seem like anger to her. It just looked like Nora looking for someone to fight, but Jaune knew different. There was another time Nora kept her cool, but was truly angry. That was when someone had insulted Ren in her face on a mission and…well his stand wasn't a stand anymore after she had a little…chat with the guy who insulted Ren.
Cardin rolled his eyes. "Okay, crazy. I'll fight you and win."
Nora looked to the other members of Cardin's team. "What about you three? I don't mind taking you on too, just like how Pyrrha did."
Sky spoke up. "N-Nah. We just snuck out of…I mean got out of the infirmary. We don't need to-."
"Shut up and sit down then." Nora ordered, which startled the other three members.
They walked over to the seats and Cardin was pissed that they'd chicken out so easily, but he was more focused on the orange haired girl herself.
"You know, you've always been an annoying chick. Starting a food fight last year and just being an overall crazy girl. I don't get how Ozpin let in someone like you." Cardin said.
"Who knows? Now why don't we get to the fighting?" Nora readied herself.
Cardin wasted no time and began to run at Nora with his mace, though he knew his attack would miss, he waited for her to dodge. Nora didn't though and swung her hammer, which surprised Cardin, so he attempted to block the swing with his mace. He blocked it, but was sent flying back by the incredible force of Nora's swing. Cardin hit the wall and grunted.
What the hell kind of power is she packing?!
Weiss didn't enjoy violence in the terms of people against people, but seeing Cardin hit the wall made her happy. That kind of person wasn't in her book of people who'd she ever care for. Jaune was glad that Cardin wasn't having an easy time and wondered how long Nora was gonna keep their fight up, since in all honesty, she could take him out in an instant, especially since he did get out of the infirmary recently.
Nora just stood in the same spot. "Come on. That was boring. Make this fun already."
Cardin snarled. "You want fun?! Here!"
He picked his mace up and slammed it on the ground, sending a shockwave from the electric dust he had. Nora shrugged and swapped her weapon to the grenade launcher form and shot down to launch herself upwards, effectively dodging the shockwave and landing on the same spot she was standing on.
"Boring!" Nora shouted, which made Cardin clench his fist in anger.
"How about you stay out of your little defensive stance and-." Cardin was cut off when Nora started running at him.
Instead of defending with his mace again, Cardin tried to swing at Nora. His weapon attack speed was too slow for Nora, as she simply moved out of the way and head-butted him, causing him to grunt in pain. Nora smirked as she changed her weapon back to the hammer and swung right at his chest. The force of the attack made his eyes widen, as even his armor and aura wasn't enough to stop the pain of the blow. When he hit the wall for a second time, he tried to stand, but failed.
"You're done already? Well that's no fun. I thought you'd at least try more than one dust attack…Kinda lame." Nora said.
Cardin glared at her as he was on his knees. He attempted to gran his mace that was dropped on the floor, but Nora kicked it away when she walked over. He looked up at what he didn't think he would ever see.
Nora's eyes looked murderous as she said. "So here's the deal, Cardin…Never, I mean never talk bad about Ren or any of my friends again and I won't break your other leg, okay?"
"Other leg? What are you talking about? My legs are fi-." But he couldn't get his sentence finished as Nora used her hammer to break his left leg, causing him to scream in pain.
"Hmm? What was that? I couldn't hear you over the sounds of your leg being broken." Nora said in a calm tone.
"AHHH! YOU PSYCHO! YOU BROKE MY DAMN LEG!" Cardin's team ran over to their team leader.
Nora nodded and skipped back over to Weiss and Jaune. "How was that, Lady Weiss?"
"That was an excellent match, Knight Captain Nora, though…Next time; maybe leave the leg breaking out of it." The little heiress looked over to the pained Team leader who was holding his leg.
Nora bowed. "For you, my lady, I will be sure to slightly injure his leg next time. Now why don't we get you some breakfast, my lady? You must be famished."
The little heiress nodded. "Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Dorky Knight Jaune, you know what to do."
Jaune sighed at the continued use of his new title and helped Weiss onto his back for another piggy back ride. They all left the training room and Nora smiled as she finally got to break Cardin's legs, well leg, but one was enough…for the time being.
As they got to the cafeteria, Nora asked. "Okay, Lady Weiss. Is there anything specific you would like to eat?"
"Um, well I-I actually kind of wanted to eat some of your friend's cookies again, but he isn't here." Weiss said.
"Oh! You want Sir Ren to make you something to eat? Well I will contact him right away, my lady!" Nora got her scroll out and immediately called Ren.
Ren picked up and said. "Yes, Nora?"
"Hi, Ren! Oh, I mean, Sir Ren." Nora caught her mistake.
"Nora…Are you role-playing again?" Ren instantly knew what she was doing.
"Sir Ren, you should call me Knight Captain Nora, as Lady Weiss has given me my rank. Oh and…Are you still busy?" Nora asked in a hushed tone, as she didn't want to be out of character in front of Weiss.
"Depends. What do you need? And lady Weiss?" Ren said in a concerned tone of what Nora had been doing all day.
"Uh huh! Lady Weiss bested me in a height contest and is the true Queen. She also requires the best chef and knight in the land to bake her some cookies…Please Ren!" Nora begged.
Ren sighed, but smiled. "Alright, Knight Captain Nora. I'll be there in a few minutes. Wait, where are you going to be?"
"Um, well Lady Weiss, Dorky Knight Jaune and I are in the cafeteria, but we can head back to the room." Nora said.
"Okay, Knight Captain Nora. See you in a few and please…Please don't do anything drastic like last time." Ren requested.
"Don't worry, Sir Ren. I am not the Queen, so I will only do as the new Queen says." Nora assured.
Weiss leaned over to Jaune and asked. "Um, are Sir Ren and Knight Captain Nora together?"
"Yes and no, but don't tell them I said that." Jaune whispered back.
"Alright and I promise to give you a better rank soon, Dorky Knight Jaune. I just need more time to think of one." Weiss said.
Jaune sighed. "Well, I hope you come up with something soon. Oh and are you having a good time, Lady Weiss? I know you were upset about not being able to stay with Ruby, Blake and Yang, so I hope we're keeping you entertained."
"Um…I'm feeling better about it. I still miss them, but I've been really happy with the day so far. Thank you." Weiss gave Jaune a small smile to assure him that she was okay.
"Okay!" Nora walked back over to the two. "Sir Ren is gonna meet us over at our room, so let's go!"
Weiss' eyes lit up in excitement. "Does that mean he's gonna make cookies?!" Nora nodded and Weiss cheered. "Come on, Dorky Knight Jaune!"
Jaune realized that Weiss was just happy, so he wasn't gonna complain about the Dorky Knight thing. "Alright, Lady Weiss. Up you go." Jaune again began to give Weiss a piggyback ride to the dorm.
When they got there, they walked in and waited for Ren.
He didn't take long as walked into the room about five minutes after and was immediately hugged by Nora. "It's good to see you too, Nora."
Nora pulled away and shook her head. "Remember, Sir Ren. That's Knight Captain Nora. And this here is Dorky Knight Jaune." Nora pointed to Jaune. "And Lady Weiss. Our Queen."
Ren looked to Weiss, who had looked a little shy, since she hadn't gotten the chance to talk to Ren all that much. The little heiress remembered what Ruby had told her about how she felt protected around Ren.
"H-Hi, Sir Ren." Weiss greeted when she walked over.
Ren smiled and leaned down. "Well hello to you, Lady Weiss. Had Knight Captain Nora and Dorky Knight Jaune been keeping you safe?"
"Y-Yes they have. Knight Captain Nora even fought against that bully who got Ruby, Blake and Yang suspended. Cardin, I think his name was." The little heiress said.
Ren looked over at Nora. "Nor- I mean Knight Captain Nora…Did you break his legs?"
"Of course I didn't break his legs…I only broke one." Nora answered.
Ren sighed and stood up. "What have I told you about that? You know you might get into some serious trouble now for doing that."
"Maybe, but who cares? Lady Weiss needs cookies right now, so pretty please could you make her a batch…and maybe a few extra…for me?" Nora hoped for the extras.
Ren chuckled to himself and nodded. "I'll get to work on them, but we are having a talk about breaking legs tonight. Understand, Knight Captain Nora?"
Nora nodded. "Understood, Sir Ren!"
Ren smiled and walked over to the closet. That was where he kept most of his cooking equipment, since he knew he had to have it close by. Nora would always want something, but wouldn't ask too much, though Ren was always happy to make something for her and the team anyway.
A thought occurred to Weiss and she gasped. "I need to go get Zwei! He must be really lonely in the other room."
The little heiress ran out of the room and Nora followed. "Wait, my Queen!"
Ren got the rest of his stuff out and looked to Jaune. "Aren't you going to go after them?"
"Nah, they're only going across the hall." Jaune got on his bed and asked. "Hey, aren't you gonna ask why we have bunk beds now?"
"I just assumed it was something Nora did for Weiss." Ren said while he was setting up.
"Oh, well yeah. That's exactly why she did that." Jaune thought about something for a moment. "Hey, so…this whole thing with Nora doing the knight thing, what's up with that? I mean, she's done this before, but not for this long."
"I'm guessing it's because she wants Weiss to be happy. Nora may be very hyperactive, but her number one priority is making sure her friends are happy. I admire that about her." Ren smiled.
Jaune looked up at the bunk bed while he was on his back. "Yeah, I forget that sometimes I guess. I really shouldn't though, since she has been a great friend since we all were teamed up, though maybe we should get her to relax from time to time."
Ren chuckled as he finished setting up his baking equipment. "Good luck on that, Dorky Knight Jaune."
Jaune groaned and sat up. "How come you get Sir Ren and I'm stuck with Dorky Knight Jaune? That is so unfair."
Ren shrugged and began to make the cookies.
Weiss was lucky that Ruby had left the door unlocked, so she opened it and saw Zwei sleeping on his small bed. "Zwei!" The corgi was startled awake and wagged his tail when he saw Weiss. The little heiress ran over and hugged him. "I'm sorry for not getting you earlier, boy." The corgi yipped and licked her face.
Nora found it adorable and spoke up. "Alright, Lady Weiss. Let's get your Noble Corgi to the other room. Sir Ren has probably begun working on the cookies."
Weiss nodded and stood up. "Come on, my Noble Corgi!" Weiss ran out of the room with Zwei following.
Nora giggled and skipped over to the room with them. Of course Ren was already getting the cookies ready and Jaune looked over to see Zwei running in the room behind the little heiress. He liked the corgi, but he never got how he was able to fight Grimm during the breach all those months ago.
Weiss looked over at Ren and smiled. "Yay! You're making the cookies!"
Ren nodded. "It'll be some time before they're done, but I promise you'll get the first one, Lady Weiss."
"Thank you, Sir Ren." Weiss said with a huge smile on her face as she walked over to Jaune. "Um, is it okay if I let Zwei on the bed? He's clean, I promise."
Before Jaune could say anything, Nora interrupted. "Lady Weiss, you need not to ask. You're the Queen after all."
Weiss shook her head. "It's okay, Knight Captain Nora. I don't wanna do something if it's not okay."
"It's fine, Lady Weiss. You can have Zwei up here. Just…make sure he doesn't pee on my bed." Jaune helped the corgi onto the bed.
Weiss got on the bed and hugged Jaune. "Thank you, Dorky Knight Jaune!"
Jaune was startled by that. "U-Uh, y-you're welcome, Lady Weiss, but…could you let go for a moment. I think Zwei might want a hug too." Jaune made the excuse to get her off, since while she was a kid at the moment, Jaune wished to get a hug from Weiss, though as her being her actual age.
Weiss nodded and moved over to hug the corgi. "This is my Noble Corgi. So if you ever need him in battle, then you must ask me for permission first."
"I will, Lady Weiss." Jaune said.
Ren spoke up. "Lady Weiss, I'm also making you some pancakes, since I don't think cookies would be all that filling. Now, what kind would you like?"
"Hmm, may I have blueberry, Sir Ren?" Weiss requested.
"Of course you may, Lady Weiss." Ren said as he began working on the pancakes.
After some time passed, Ren finished up the pancakes and handed a plate to Weiss. "Here you are, Lady Weiss. Knight Captain Nora, I'll get you some pancakes in a bit."
Weiss happily ate the pancakes. "This is really good, Sir Ren!"
"I'm glad you like the pancakes, Lady Weiss. Your cookies will be ready soon. Knight Captain Nora, if you could, can you get some milk?" Ren asked.
Nora nodded and ran out the room to get some milk.
Jaune got up and walked over to Ren to whisper. "I never thought you'd be into this kind of thing. You know, continuing calling her Lady Weiss and calling Nora, Knight Captain."
"I can tell that Nora is doing this for Weiss, so if I have to play along to help out, then I will." Ren whispered back.
Jaune stepped back. "Well, thanks, Ren."
The little heiress spoke up. "Dorky Knight Jaune!" She whined. "That is Sir Ren."
"Oh, right. Sorry, Lady Weiss. Thanks, Sir Ren." Jaune corrected.
Ren gave a light laugh. "No problem…Dorky Knight Jaune."
Jaune rolled his eyes and sat back on the bed. "I wonder if Pyrrha is done with her training yet."
"Ooh, we have to give her a title too!" Weiss exclaimed. "Hmm, how about Valiant Knight? I read it once before in a book and Valiant means brave and heroic."
Jaune nodded. "Sounds like Pyrrha to me. She's pretty…awesome…Pretty awesome is what I said." Jaune looked worried that Ren might've heard him, since he did have a small crush on Pyrrha, but was too dumb to realize she had a crush on him as well.
Ren pretended not to hear and Jaune was glad, but of course Ren already knew how both Jaune and Pyrrha felt.
Sheesh. If Jaune can't see it, then Pyrrha will have to just tell him at one point.
The door opened and Pyrrha walked in.
Speaking of Pyrrha.
Jaune looked over and waved. "Hey, Pyrrha. How was your training?"
Before Pyrrha could answer, she took note of the little heiress. "Hello, Weiss. Oh and the training went well, Jaune." She then looked at the bunk beds. "Um…did you set these bunk beds up?"
"Uh, yeah. Lady Weiss likes bunk beds." Jaune stated.
Pyrrha raised an eyebrow. "Oh, uh…Well that's…nice."
Weiss got down from the bed. "Hello, Valiant Knight Pyrrha. Um, I'm sorry about the bunk beds. I know it might be hard to set them back to normal when I go back to Ruby, Blake and Yang."
Pyrrha knelt down. "It's okay…Lady Weiss. I was just surprised to see them like this. How has your day gone so far?"
The little heiress smiled. "Knight Captain Nora beat down Cardin and Sir Ren made me pancakes and is still making cookies!"
Pyrrha chuckled and picked Weiss up. "I hope you don't mind me picking you up, Lady Weiss."
The little heiress giggled. "It's okay, Valiant Knight Pyrrha. Can I be put on the top bunk?"
Pyrrha nodded and helped the little heiress up on the top bunk. "I see Zwei is here too. Do you want him up there with you?" Weiss nodded and Pyrrha got the corgi up on the bunk. "Here you are, Lady Weiss."
The little heiress hugged Zwei, who yipped in her arms. "Thank you, Valiant Knight Pyrrha."
Pyrrha gave her a bow. "Of course, Lady Weiss. Now is there anything else I can do for my queen?" Pyrrha was playing her part well, as she knew that the whole Lady Weiss thing was probably Nora's idea and she had practice dealing with that kind of situation because of her orange haired friend.
"Well, there isn't anything else I need, Valiant Knight Pyrrha. Thank you for offering though." Weiss said.
Pyrrha nodded and sat next to Jaune to whisper. "How long was it till Nora made this happen?"
Jaune whispered back. "You mean the Knight thing? Well, they were having a height contest and I helped Weiss win. Nora claimed to be the Queen again, but Weiss told her that she was an actual heiress, so she had more power than her. And of course, Nora took it to heart and, well, this happened. I don't mind it…besides being Dorky Knight." Jaune sighed.
Pyrrha frowned and stood up. "Lady Weiss? Is it okay if we give…Dorky Knight Jaune a better title?"
"Hmm, well I was trying to come up with one, but I couldn't. Do you have any suggestions, my Valiant Knight?" Weiss inquired.
"Why yes I do, my Queen. Since Jaune is the team leader, he should be the Knight Commander." Pyrrha suggested.
Jaune was surprised by that and Weiss thought about it for a moment. "Well, it does make sense since he is your actual team leader. What do you think, my Noble Corgi?" Zwei yipped and gave Weiss what looked to be a nod. "That settles it. Valiant Knight Pyrrha. Please help me down for a moment." Pyrrha nodded and got her down. "Thank you. Okay, Dorky Knight Jaune. You are promoted to Knight Commander!"
Jaune chuckled. "Thank you, Lady Weiss. I won't fail you as your Knight Commander."
Weiss nodded and looked over to see Nora walk in with a carton of milk and a few glasses. "I'm back! Oh, hey Pyrrha!" Pyrrha gave a small wave and helped Nora with the glasses. "Has our Queen given you a title yet, Pyrrha?"
Pyrrha nodded. "I'm a Valiant Knight."
Nora's eyes brightened. "Aw! That's awesome! I wish I could've been the Valiant Knight!"
Jaune smirked. "And you know what else? I've been promoted to Knight Commander. Meaning I am your superior."
"Nah. I only listen to Lady Weiss." Nora said.
"But-." Jaune was cut off.
"Enough talk! Sir Ren, are my pancakes ready yet?" Nora asked which caused Jaune to hang his head in defeat.
"I finished yours up. They're on the table if you want them." Ren answered.
Nora put the milk on the table and ran over to eat. "Thank you, Sir Ren!" She then began eating the pancakes in joy.
Weiss was happy she got to get to know Team JNPR and was glad that Ruby was right about them.
Pyrrha grabbed the milk carton and poured a glass. "Here you are, Lady Weiss." Pyrrha handed her the glass of milk.
The little heiress took it and smiled. "Thank you, my Valiant Knight." Weiss began drinking the milk.
After a few more minutes, Ren finished up the cookies. "Okay, Lady Weiss. Your cookies are ready."
Weiss cheered and set her glass down. "They smell really good, Sir Ren!"
Ren nodded and handed her a plate of cookies. "Be careful. They're still hot, Lady Weiss."
Weiss took the plate and set it on the bed. "Thank you for the warning, Sir Ren. I will let it cool down and give them a taste in a bit."
"Nora, make sure to not eat them. I'm making you a batch as well." Ren said.
Nora was taken aback. "I would never eat the Queen's cookies, Sir Ren!"
Pyrrha giggled and looked over at Weiss. "Lady Weiss, I don't have much to offer, but…would you like to try on my headpiece?"
The little heiress looked up at the bronze circlet headpiece. "A-Are you sure, Valiant Knight Pyrrha? I wouldn't want to trouble you with it."
Pyrrha took her headpiece off. "It's no trouble, Lady Weiss. Now let me help you put it on." Pyrrha moved over to the little heiress and helped her put the headpiece on her. "There you go, Lady Weiss. You look very pretty." Pyrrha assured her with a smile.
Weiss blushed a bit. "Thank you, my Valiant Knight." The little heiress grabbed her plate of cookie and took one from the plate. "Here, take this cookie as a reward for being the best Valiant Knight a Queen could have."
Pyrrha bowed and took the cookie. "Thank you, Lady Weiss." Pyrrha bit down on the cookie and began to eat it. She finished the cookie and turned to Ren. "As usual, Sir Ren, your cookies are the best I've ever had."
"Thanks, Valiant Knight Pyrrha." Ren said as he continued with Nora's batch of cookies.
Weiss looked down at the plate and realized that she could eat the cookies. She began to eat them and looked down at Nora, who seemed to eye the cookies with a look of hunger in her eyes.
The little heiress giggled. "Knight Captain Nora, you may have a cookie." She took a cookie and handed it to Nora.
Nora's eyes brightened and she accepted the cookie with a bow. "You are too kind, Lady Weiss." She then ate the cookie and felt like she was in heaven. "Sir Ren! These are amazing!"
Ren chuckled. "I know. Thank you, Knight Captain Nora."
Weiss took another cookie from the plate. "Here you go, Knight Commander Jaune. You can have one too!"
Jaune was a little surprised at first, but wasted no time in taking the cookie. "Thanks, Lady Weiss. You didn't need to do that, but I appreciate it."
The little heiress smiled and wished she could give a cookie to Zwei, but it had chocolate in it. "Um, Sir Ren…Can you make a few cookies that don't have chocolate for the Noble Corgi?"
Ren nodded. "Of course, Lady Weiss. It may take a little more time, but I'll have the cookies for your Noble Corgi ready soon."
Weiss smiled and held the corgi close. "Did you hear that, my Noble Corgi? You'll be fed very soon with the tasty cookies." Weiss then ate one and smiled. "You'll love them, Zwei."
Zwei yipped and waited for Ren to finish with the batch of chocolate free cookies.
After some time passed and everyone got their fill of the delicious cookies, Pyrrha offered to read Weiss a few fairy tale stories. The little heiress was happy to hear them and sat on the bottom bunk as Pyrrha read to her. She enjoyed the stories, as throughout the day of her being a Queen, she liked the kind of fairy tales of the Knights protecting their Queen. She equated that to how JNPR had watched over her and made her enjoy a day she thought she'd not have fun with, since Ruby, Blake and Yang were suspended. It also made her think if Ruby, Blake and Yang would be her Knights as well.
Weiss smiled. "Thank you for being my Knights."
Team JNPR was surprised by that and they all smiled.
Ruby, Blake and Yang have made me happy…I guess they're kind of like my Knights too.
The little heiress let that thought stay in her mind as she began to get tired. Something about being engrossed in a story would tend to let a person happily fall asleep, so she did just that in Pyrrha's lap.
Pyrrha looked down at the sleeping little heiress and smiled. "Look like she's tucked out. It might be a good idea to bring her over to RWBY's dorm to get her to bed."
Jaune nodded and picked her up. "I'll take her. Come on, Zwei. We're heading back. Oh and do you want your headpiece back, Pyrrha?"
Pyrrha shook her head. "She can wear it for a bit longer. I don't mind."
"Okay and…You look…Uh, never mind." Jaune blushed and turned away.
Nora rolled her eyes and Pyrrha was a little confused as Jaune walked out of the room.
As he walked out though, he was greeted by Ms. Goodwitch. "Mr. Arc, where is Miss Valkyrie?"
"Uh, in the room, why?" Jaune asked.
Glynda said nothing and walked in. "Miss Valkyrie! Do you have any idea how much trouble you are in?!"
Nora was startled by Glynda's shouting. "U-Uh…No?"
Luckily Weiss didn't wake up from Glynda's shouts and she continued. "I know of what you did to Mr. Winchester. You are in a lot of trouble for breaking another student's leg young lady!"
Nora gulped and Pyrrha's eyes widened. "Nora! You broke his leg?!"
"W-Well yeah! But only because he insulted Ren!" Nora tried to reason.
"That is no excuse! You are to go to Professor Ozpin's office first thing in the morning. Do I make myself clear?" Nora nodded. "Good. Now I will be taking my leave. Oh and Mr. Arc. Team RWBY is actually already back from their suspension. Ozpin decided to let them out earlier than expected, so go on and bring Miss Schnee back to them."
"Uh, I was actually going to do that already." Jaune said.
"Just do it, Mr. Arc." Glynda walked by and smiled at the sight of the sleeping little heiress.
Jaune almost caught that and wondered if what he just saw was real.
Did she just smile?
Jaune brushed the thought away and brought Weiss and Zwei over to RWBY's dorm.
He knocked and was greeted by Ruby opening the door. "Jaune…Oh sorry. Weiss is sleeping. Come in and lay her down on her bed."
Jaune nodded and walked in to set the little heiress down. "You know, I thought it be a lot tougher dealing with a kid, but I had a good time, especially when Weiss and I watched Cardin get his leg broken."
Yang looked over. "Nice! It was Nora who broke his leg, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, but she's probably gonna be in the same kind of trouble as you guys were in. Goodwitch just told her to report to Ozpin's office tomorrow morning." Jaune said.
"That sucks, but it was probably worth it." Yang stated.
Blake looked over at Weiss and noticed something. "Is she wearing Pyrrha's headpiece?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Pyrrha let her borrow it." Jaune answered.
Ruby smiled and sat down next to the sleeping little heiress. "I seriously can't thank you guys enough for watching over her, Jaune." Zwei yipped, as it seemed like he was thanking Jaune as well.
"Don't mention it, Ruby. If any of us were in the same situation, I know you guys would do the same. I have to head back now, since I'm sure Ren is giving Nora a lecture on not breaking legs or something." Jaune began to walk out. "See you guys later. Oh and if Weiss starts calling you guys her Knights…Blame Nora."
With that, Jaune left leaving the team confused at what he meant.
Okay, that was fun to write. And the whole Knight thing doesn't have to be accurate with ranks and all that stuff, since it's only to let Weiss be happy.
To JJ-Then that means I did a good job with that and I'm happy to have done so. And yes, Nora is that crazy to do something like that.
To Reyna-You're welcome and yeah, that was a mistake. Thank you for actually letting me know. I fixed it up now.
To Iron-ninja- Will do and I'm glad you like it so far.
To DragonBreath- Thank you. It means a lot that you enjoy my stories. As for your question, well, it's simple. Weiss is my favorite character in RWBY and I enjoy having my stories focus on her a lot more than the others.
I hoped you all enjoyed the seventh chapter. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 8.
