Chapter 9: Jaunception
[Disclaimer: This chapter is very stupid]
Jaune didn't understand what was happening, he remembered that he was in his bed, sleeping, and he had a dream in which he was saving the world as his secret identity , The Huntsman.
When suddenly, a villain punched him so hard he left his dream
Literally
Now he was watching his own body in the bed while a white cloud was above of his head
"Did I died?" he asked to himself, he took a better look to his own body and noticed that he was still breathing
Good, Jaune didn't want to die yet, there was still a lot of things to do in his life
Like Obbleck's homework, for example.
Jaune let out a sigh of relief, and then he look at the cloud
The cloud was white, a little small and it looked fluffy, and it was coming from his head, most exactly, from his mind
Jaune grabbed the cloud with his hands, it was very soft, like touching a pillow or touching Blake's or Weiss's hair
"Maybe I should enter to my dream again" He said to himself, but then he noticed that his teammates also had the same kind of clouds above their heads
This was very weird indeed, what was happening? Did he entered to the Dream world accidentally? Did he finally discovered his semblance? Or was experimenting those weird experiences that Nora had last week when she drank that cup of coffee?
He approached to Ren. He was resting peacefully on his bed, and his hair was already a mess
Jaune took a look to the cloud of his friend, and then he noticed that there was a door made of clouds
Like a curious kid, Jaune decided to open the door
Next thing he noticed he was pulled inside to the cloud just like a vacuum cleaner to dust
"Ahhhhhh!" Jaune screamed like a little girl, and now he was in free fall, approaching to his final destiny
"Wait, I don't have to die, this is a dream, and I can't die in a dream, right?" Jaune argued to himself, but it was useless, he was watching the ground a few meters of his face
But before he smacked like a potato salad in the ground, something or someone grabbed him in the air
"Jaune, what are you doing here?"
"Ren?" Jaune opened his eyes when he noticed he was still alive "Ren I need help, something happened and I needed to tell somebody about this, but then a cloud absorb me and-"
"Okay okay, calm down, first of all, why are you in my dream?"
"Your dream?" Jaune took a look around him and saw that he was in a forest, he looked at his teammate and saw that Ren was meditating in the air, in the center of a small lake with lily pads and candles around him
"Hey, how did you…" Jaune asked, trying to find the exactly words to said "Stop me from falling to the ground without touching me"
"it's a dream, Jaune, and I can do whatever I can, like saving you from your death"
"But... I can't die, right? I mean, it's a dream, it's not real life"
"I don't know, but I saw a lot of movies with Nora that said otherwise" Ren sighed "So, how did you entered to my dream?"
"I don't know, moments later I was fighting somebody and then, puff, I got out of my dream" Jaune said, still caught in air "Do you know what happened?"
"Actually, I do" Ren sighed "You fall from your cloud dream and then you became lucid"
"Oh. Wait how do you know?"
"How do you think I can talk to you right now? I have a lucid dream with you right now, or at least that's what I think" Ren simply replied
"So.. What do I do now?"
"Probably the best thing is that you return to your own cloud, unless you want to watch other guy's dreams"
"I mean, I would like it, it's not like something like this will happen again" He said a bit excited
Ren growl a little "Fine, but if something happens, I will not help you in the morning"
"Roger that. But, ehm, how do I get out of here?"
"There an exit right behind you" Ren pointed with a finger to a door with a neon sign that said "Exit"
After that, he left Jaune in the ground softly
"But wait, I still don't understand, how this happened? It was made by and enemy semblance? I finally discovered my semblance? Ozpin knows about this?"
"Probably Ozpin or professor Peach knows" Ren replied "But I don't think that something like semblances are involved on this"
"So, what can it be?"
"Maybe you can found it in your way back to your body. Now, please leave and let me finish my meditation" Ren tried to ask in the most polite way
Jaune decided to retire of this cloud before Ren could get angry, and made his way to the striking door
But before he leave, Ren shouted "Beware with Nora's dreams, they are really dangerous!"
"Did you saw them?" Jaune shouted back
"You don't want to presence the same things I saw there!" He warned him
"Okay fine!" the knight said as he opened the door
Despite the cloud looked very small, it had a lot of space inside, Jaune could get out of the dream without any trouble
"What I should do next?" He wondered. Nora's cloud was a total no, he even could feel that there was the sound of an Ursa dying inside of her cloud
Then he saw his girlfriend Pyrrha. She was smiling and resting like a little baby on her bed, and there was a trail of saliva in her pillow
Jaune decided to took a short look to see what was dreaming Pyrrha. With caution, he opened the door quietly.
Maybe what kind of dreams Pyrrha was ha- Wait, wow...
His eyes widened as he blushed big time
She was dreaming lewd things with him
Well, not with him-him, with 3 versions of Jaune, one with a ponytail, one with the butler suit (rest in peace) and other with a long fox tail.
He closed the door immediately after he saw that.
"Legs shouldn't stretch like that" He thought
He shook his head and then he decided to leave the room
Jaune tried to grab the doorknob, but his hand went through the door
"So, I'm like a ghost? Cool" Jaune said amazed at this fact
He went through the door, and it left him with a strange taste in his mouth, but he didn't mind
Jaune decided to play a little in this ghost mode until he heard a sound of a thunder
Such sound was heard inside of Team RWBY's dorm
"Uh, that was weird" Jaune said curious "I wondered what happened, I just hope they don't mind that I will enter to their dorm" he said as he went through a wall of the room
Inside of it, Jaune noticed the girls sleeping, but something caught his attention
2 of the 4 clouds were grayer than usual, and one of them was black with the sound of a thunder
Ruby had a white cloud above her. Jaune sworn that he saw a rainbow in the cloud
But that wasn't important, now the important thing was because Weiss had these cloud with that color and what was happening with Blake's cloud
"Wait a minute" Jaune said "If the clouds I saw before were common dreams -I think- and they had white colors…."
Then he realized
"That means they are having nightmares right now?" the knight concluded very concerned
He approached to Blake's bed. The cat faunus was having trouble with her sleep, she was growling, moving in her bed in all directions and...
"Wait, is that a tear?" he asked dumbfound
Oh no
Oh hell no!
Nobody makes his kitty cry!
He decide to open the door of the dream, and like Ren's cloud, he was swallowed to his inside
Fortunately, he fell in a bush
He took a look at the dream after rubbing his back. It was raining, and it was a cold
Jaune decide to search refugee of the rain under a near temple
Indeed was really cold, he could see his own breath as he rubbed his hands for warm
"Where's Blake?" he thought for himself, but his answer was in front of him when he noticed a cat faunus in one of the walls of the temple, holding her knees with her arms
In her side was a cartel that was a little broken
Jaune's heart broke when he saw this scene, he knew that Blake's life was never easy, she just only wanted equality for the faunus, but she saw how the white fang became more violent, and she couldn't do anything to change that.
Jaune walked slowly and sat at the side of the cat faunus
She wasn't using a bow, this must be a younger version of his girlfriend
Jaune grabbed the cartel and read what was written
"Equality for Faunus" he said out loud. The cartel was a bit torn, and the cartel was in fact very wet because of the rain
"You are going to make laugh of that, human?" suddenly, the young faunus asked with fury in her voice
"Why I would do that? He simply replied, still looking at the cartel "The cartel is right, Faunus must have the same rights as humans, it's a shame that some people can't understand that"
"And what makes you to say that?"
"I met friends that make my life happier" He said, still holding the cartel "There's a friend with a monkey tail that knows how to move in the streets, but he doesn't know how to use a shirt properly" he giggled a little and continued "And also I met two girls; one is a girl with bunny ears, she is a little shy and very quiet, but she has a gold heart that I never seemed in other people. And the other is a strong girl. She is great, skillfully, moves like a ninja, and she likes tuna a lot"
The young faunus seemed to be interested in that girl
"She is also very intelligent, she likes to read a lot, even she dragged me to read some of her books with me once a week" He chuckled a little
"She sounds awesome" The faunus replied
"She is awesome indeed, but there's a little problem"
"What's that" She asked, she left her initial position and she wiped her tears
"Well.. She use to hide her cat ears with a bow"
"She hides it from the humans?" she asked
"She is a little afraid of what people would think of her ears" Jaune said sadly "she had to live hard moments in her life, I'd say that she is like some kind of warrior actually"
"But.. I don't understand, she must be proud of her ears"
"She is proud of what she is, but she feels a little uncomfortable if she is not using the bow"
The cat faunus nodded slowly
"Tell me, what is your name?" Jaune asked, knowing the answer
"Blake" she replied "You?"
"Jaune. Jaune Arc"
"Tell me, Jaune, What are you doing here?"
"… Promise you won't laugh?"
"I don't know"
"Well.." He tried to imagine a good story "I.. fell out of a tree and then it started raining"
"That is a very stupid story" She stated
"I know right?" He giggled "What about you?"
She remained silent for a couple of minutes, until she finally answered "I.. I ran of home"
"Why?"
"I wanted to go to the protest with the white fang, but then.. Something.. weird happen and…" She felt how the tears were coming back
"Okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want, its fine"
"… did you think my parents will hate me?" She legitimately asked
"A parent will never hate his son or daughter" jaune stated "Even if she or he did something wrong, she or he will be always his son or daughter"
"But.. I said mean things to my father.."
"A father will always forgive his son"
The cat faunus wanted to say something, but she didn't know "… what should I do?"
"The right thing, tell to your parents that you're sorry and return to your home"
"..You promise that they will not be mad with me?"
"I don't know, probably you will be grounded" Jaune shrugged
He tensed a bit when he saw the glare of the young girl of amber eyes "I was joking" then he cleared his throat "You know that I'm Arc"
"So?" she raised an eyebrow
"In my family, there's a little phrase that we always say, "An Arc never goes back on his word", that means that, even in the hardest moments, we will do everything to accomplish that mission, even if cost our lives"
"That's much exaggerated"
"But it's true" he gave him a dorky smile, and she felt better
Suddenly, the rain finished, and some of the clouds of the sky were fading away
"Finally, I thought those clouds would be always there" Blake admitted
"Don't be silly. After the rain, the sun always come back"
Just when he said that, a ray of light illuminated the place
And suddenly, a female voice shouted in the distance
"Blake? Where are you?"
The ears of the cat faunus twitched when she heard her name
"Mom?" she stood up, looking for her mother, she was in the entrance of the temple when she noticed her
"Blake!" Kali ran to hug her daughter "Oh Blake I was so worried, I heard what happened. Are you okay"
"Yes.. yes. I'm fine" she said softly "I was here when suddenly a human was talking to me"
"A human? That's weird, there's no humans in Menagerie" Kali said concerned "Did he do something to you?"
"No, no he was talking to me, I think he was right-"she trailed off when she turned around to see the human
The human wasn't already there
"Where is he? I saw him here, how he do…"
"It doesn't matter now, dear" Kali comforted her daughter "What about if we go home now?"
"You.. You are not angry with me?"
"Well.. I can't say that I'm happy" Kali frowned "Obviously what you said to your father wasn't correct"
Blake wanted to cry, but she hold back her tears
"But that doesn't mean we will stop loving you, sweetheart" the mother patted the head of her daughter "it's okay to express your opinions, but, next time, don't run from home, okay?"
Blake hugged her mother tightly "I'm sorry.. I didn't want to.." and kali responded petting her ears softly as her daughter started sobbing in her chest
Meanwhile, outside of the temple, a few meters of the exit of the dream, Jaune was watching the scene
"Well, I think I destroyed the nightmare?" He though, because the world wasn't grey anymore and it was shining "This thing of dreams surely is weird" and then he left the cloud
Jaune tripped off and he smacked his face on the floor
Unfortunately, it hurt
"God dammit!" Jaune yelled and then he covered his mouth. Then he noticed none of the girls woke up
"Uhm, so they can't hear me? This is becoming weirder every second" Jaune thought, and then he saw Blake, now her cloud was brightly and white, and she was resting with a soft smile on her face.
Well, 1 rescued waifu, 1 more to help
Jaune approached to Weiss' bed. The snow angel was whining and growling in her dream
"Looks like this is a job for The huntsman" Jaune said, and immediately he facepalmed "That sounded better in my mind"
He opened the door of the cloud (a very elegant one) and surprisingly he wasn't absorbed inside it.
The world of the dream was in fact, very weird.
Jaune found himself in a field, and in front of him there was a tower as tall as the tower of Beacon, it was made of stone and it didn't have a door or entrance to enter
But, in the pinnacle, there was a window open, and there was…
"Weiss!" Jaune shouted in joy
But Weiss didn't heard him. She was watching the clouds, waiting if the sun finally would rise in this cold day to warm her cold body and heart
After a couple pf minutes, she heard the buzz of an insect
"Weird, I thought insects can live on this height" she said, and then she noticed that it wasn't an insect
There was and blonde guy in the ground yelling at her direction
"Weiss, right here!" he yelled
"He knows my name?" she couldn't see who was the guy with a black hoodie and blue pants "Who are you?"
"Finally!" he cheered "Hey Weiss, what are you doing there?"
"First of all, who are you? And second, how do you know my name? Are you one of those "knights" that will try to save me from here?"
"Wait, you don't recognize me?"
"Why I would do that? Besides I can't see you very well from here"
"Uhmm, so in this dreams you don't recognize other people unless you are lucid? Man, that's really creepy" he thought "I- ehm- I'm jaune, Jaune Arc, nothing is coming to you with that?"
The heiress, who was dressed like a princess of old tales, remained silent
"Really, nothing? Jaune, Jauney, your knight, dolt?"
"You are a dolt indeed" She stated "Are you going to answer my questions or not? "
Jaune let out a sigh before answering "I don't know, but I was wondering, why I have to save you from there?"
"So you don't know?" She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Ehmm, should I?" Jaune said very confused
"God this freaking idiot" she murmured "You know my name but you don't know why I'm here?"
"Well, yes? I don't exactly know how to answer you, care to explain me?"
Weiss let out a sigh of exasperation "If you need to know, my father let me here 2 years ago because a witch cursed me"
"A curse? What kind of curse?"
"I.. I don't really want to talk about it" she said a little sad
"Oh.. okay, but why, are you caged or something like that?"
"No duh, I want to be here because I ask my dad to do it, can't you see that?"
"Hey hey, calm down Snow Angel, jeez" he rolled his eyes and continued "So, there's a way to enter, or a way for you to descend?"
"No, you will have to save me"
"Save you? Why? You don't look you're in danger"
"It's a part of a prophecy" She said "That the "only way to broke the curse is that one day a knight will save the princess with the power of love" or some kind of stupid thing, you don't read the news?"
"That's a stupid prophecy, actually" He giggled a little "I mean, real love? That's the cheesiest thing to broke a spell"
"Whatever, you are going to climb to help me or not?" she said impatient
"I would.. But what I have in return?" He teased a bit
"I don't know, I think my father would give my hand in marriage to the knight that breaks the curse" She said vaguely
"Mhmm… No thanks"
"What?! Why not?!"
"I don't want to marry yet, I had that conversation before" he said as he crossed his arm in his chest
"Then what the hell do you want? Money?"
"I don't care"
"Fame?"
"No thanks"
"Lands?"
"Boring"
"Women?"
"It's not necessary"
"Then what?"
Jaune thought a little before answering "What about a date?"
"A date? With who?"
"With you"
"With me?! And who do you think you are to ask this kind of stupid requests? "
"Well, I'm your boyfriend" He thought "Maybe I can break the curse"
"Oh yeah? You know how much times I heard that?"
"Ehm.. 3 times?"
She facepalmed "3 times.. Alright… Well if you can climb to here, then I would consider it"
"Woohoo- wait, but How I do that?" he questioned it when he saw the altitude of the tower
"Not so much brave, Mr. Arc?" Weiss said jokingly "A lot of knights tried to climb before you, but all of them gave up"
"I won't give up!"
"What makes you say that?"
"It's not obvious? I will have a date with my snow angel!"
Weiss groaned "Can you stop saying that nickname? Its ridiculous"
"It's pretty beautiful, actually" jaune said as he found some rocks that can be of help to climb the tower
"No, it's not, it's very possessive, and we didn't meet yet"
"Oh, do you want to meet me? Well, the name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet, girls love it"
"What kind of girl would like that?"
"Oh if you know" He giggled as he was climbing with precaution "There's some girls that "maybe" like me a little "he lied a little
"Poor girls, I wish them the best for the future"
"Hey! That hurt a little" he reclaimed as he stop climbing
Suddenly, the rock where he was standing fell out and Jaune lose his balance, making the blond guy to fall in the ground
He heard how Weiss laughed "Are you going to give up now?"
Jaune spitted up the dirt he accidentally swallowed "Never!" and then he walked away to the woods
5 minutes later, he came back with a spear as long as the size of a tree
"Where did you found that?" Weiss asked
"Eh, it was dropped in the ground" Actually, he just wished a long spear, and magically it appeared in his hands
What was planning Jaune? Use this spear to do pole vaulting and then enter to the window where Weiss was watching him
He started running and he put the spear in the ground to impulse himself
He was succeeding, he was already in the air, he would success
Until the spear broke in two
"Oh oh"
And then his face went directly against the ground, again
Jaune felt the giggles of the princess in the window, laughing about his misery
"Seriously, Arc, stop, you are embarrassing yourself"
He groaned as he stood up, then he went back to the forest, cursing under his breath
Weiss was really curious about this ridiculous dunce, why he was putting so much effort in this? He doesn't want to get marry, he doesn't care about the privileges her father can possible give to him, then why is doing all of this?
Only for her?
Preposterous
All the knights and "gentlemen" that she met had the same objective
Her name and money
They didn't care about other things, then why he would be different?
Her trail of thoughts were interrupted when Jaune came back.
And this time
With a motherf*cking cannon
"What the heck?!" She exclaimed
"I saw this in some old cartoon!" He said as he entered to the cannon and he lighted the wick
Moments later, the cannon threw the knight into the air, in the direction of the window were Weiss was watching the scene astonished
She closed her eyes and then suddenly something collided
She opened again her eyes and saw Jaune smashed in the wall, a few meters of his actual target
Then he fell softly, like a feather, to the ground
She sighed "Are you okay?"
Jaune didn't answer, instead, he just raised his hand, giving a thumbs up
She didn't giggled this time "Why are you doing this? You are just hurting yourself right now"
"I can't" he simple said, still in the ground "I want that date with you"
"But why?"
"It's not obvious? I like you"
"You like me, or what's behind me?"
"Weiss Schnee, I had this conversation with you before" he said annoyed
"Uh?"
"I don't care about the money, the fame, the power, or whatever. I love you, as a human being, you are a beautiful. Intelligent, elegant and skillfully girl that makes me melt wherever you sing one of your favorite songs with your beautiful and soft voice. If you think that I'm doing this just for money, you're wrong, I didn't even knew that you were an heiress when I met you."
She remained silent as a little blush in her face appeared
"So, no, I will not give up, I will enter to that stupid window and then I will make this dream happy" He exclaimed as he turned around to meet the woods again
"Wait"
He stopped when he heard the shout of the princess
"You are a bad liar" she said "But I don't want to see again your attempts to kill yourself, so I will help you"
"Yeah? And how?"
Then, she throw her hair outside of the window
Her hair was so long it reached the ground where Jaune was standing
"Wow, it's pretty large" he said with amazement in his eyes
"Well, it kinda grown up when I couldn't go to a proper barbershop and then- Can you stop petting my hair?"
"Oops, sorry, it's just that.. it's the most beautiful color I ever saw in my life"
Her cheeks went into a crimson color when he said that "J-Just climb to here and finish this madness, you dunce"
"You know, you could do this since the beginning" Jaune said as he started climbing like a rock climber
"And let you and the others touch my hair with their dirty hands? Never"
After a couple of minutes, Jaune managed to reach the window and enter to the room of the princess
"Well, you made it" She said a little bored "Now, what are you going to-"
She was interrupted when Jaune hugged her
"W-What are you doing with your arms?"
"It's called a hug, Weiss"
"Why are you hugging me?"
"Because I missed you"
"Miss me? B-But I never left"
He chuckled at her response "So, how do I broke the curse?"
"Uhm, well, I didn't think this would happen" She said nervous
"Uh?"
"Ehm... You have to kiss me..." She said as she blushed
His eyes widened, not with shock but with joy, and then he started chucking
"What's so funny?" She asked
"Nothing, it's just that… You never asked me to kiss you directly " Jaune said still laughing
"What? Indirectly?" she raised an eyebrow
"You know, you always said things like "You forget something?" or phrases with "dolt" or "dunce or "Idiot" or-"
"Can you hurry up and kiss me you dolt?" Weiss said impatiently
"Yeah, just like that!" Jaune exclaimed "That's the Weiss that I love with my heart"
She blushed hard after that confession "S-shut up" and she looked away
Jaune giggled a little "Okay, I'm sorry, promise that I will stop teasing you"
"J-Just get this over with" She said flustered
Jaune grabbed gently her waist as he got closer to her face
Weiss' face was red as a tomato, and she was frozen in place, until she shut her eyes waiting for the kiss
They were almost touching their lips when..
Suddenly the cloud disappeared
"WHAT THE-"The knight yelled before he fell to the floor
What happened actually is that Weiss woke up
"What a strange dream" she said "I wonder if I'm studying too much"
"I don't know if I can relate" Jaune growled, knowing that Weiss won't hear him
Immediately she went to sleep again, and Jaune was a little happy that at least she wasn't having nightmares this time
"What time is it?" he asked to himself, but unfortunately there wasn't a clock to see in the night. Jaune presumed it was still 12.00 P.M or 1 A.M. So the night was still young
He was curious about the rest of the other clouds
First, he decided to took a look to Ruby's dream, so he climbed to the bunk bed and he opened the door just a little
What was in Ruby's dream was she and… himself dancing tango in a dance competition?
Jaune wasn't expecting that, Ruby wanted to dance tango with him? Maybe he could ask her tomorrow if she want to learn some dance steps
He closed the cloud's door and directly he went to the another bunk where Yang was sleeping
"Maybe what she is dreaming right now, probably about fights" Jaune thought
And he was right, because when he opened the door, he was received by Yang with a cape punching his face, and in the background was a song that in that moment shouted "ONE PUNCH!"
The punch was so strong Jaune was launched off the room and he landed in another cloud
"Auch"
Fortunately for Jaune he landed in a soft pillow of pink color
Actually, the dream was almost of pink color in their totally
"Where am I? Is this Velvet's dream? Or I'm in Nora's?" He questioned. It was a world so fluffy with unicorns, ponies, rainbows, and candy
He noticed that there was a person in a table in front of him
It was a girl dressed as a princess with pink wings, giving tea to 2 dolls seated in chairs
"Do you want more tea, Mrs. Flufflybuns?"
Then Jaune notice who was that girl, his eyes widened
And he exploded in laughs
The girl noticed the boy laughing in the ground made of pink clouds and she dropped the jar of tea
"J-Jaune?! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Jaune couldn't say anything, if he could, he probably would say "What the heck Coco?"
He stood up, still laughing, and he walked to the exit not looking at the flustered girl
Jaune left the cloud and he couldn't take it anymore, he fell to the floor for third or fourth time this night and he laughed until he finally recovered
"Oh my god, a shame I didn't have a camera in that moment " He wiped his tears off his eyes "Oh man, I mean, The cool Coco Adel dreaming things like that? I mean, I know that she has a soft side, but that?!" and he chuckled a little
He noticed that he was in Team CFVY's dorm "How hard was that punch?" He asked
Then Jaune saw Coco was growling in the bed with a blush on her face
"Relax, I wouldn't say anything about this" He comforted her, even knowing that she isn't hearing him
He turned around and saw Velvet sleeping a few meters of Coco's bed
Jaune was curious, so he went to her cloud and he opened the door
"Maybe it's the same dream as Coco- Ok, no, that's too much gore"
He saw Velvet killing demons with a variety or weapons such like a Gatling gun, a chainsaw, a shotgun and a giant weapon that was called "BFG 9000" or something like that
"Well, that will haunt me for a while" Jaune said as she shut the door with force
Jaune sighed, he was exhausted "If this happened again, I would enter on my dream immediately. Seriously, this dream thing is very creepy"
After leaving the room, Jaune was walking the dark halls of the academy like a haunted ghost until a certain cloud form Team SSSN attracted him
It was different from the other clouds he saw before, it was like it was... a shared cloud?
Suddenly Sun jumped out of the cloud with a monster truck and noticed Jaune standing in the door
"Hey dude, you left your cloud too?"
"It's something normal or what?" Jaune asked incredulously
"You remember that weird pink dust that Professor Peach showed us the last day?" Suddenly Scarlet appeared, this time with a pirate costume and a parrot in his shoulder "Apparently it gave us the capacity to enter in other people's dreams"
"Oh... actually that makes sense" Jaune said
Then suddenly, from the cloud appeared Cardin and Neptune
Cardin was dressed as a motorcyclist with a mechanical hand, and Neptune was dressed as a king, with a gold crown and a red cape with jewelry
"Hey, are you going to enter or what?" Cardin exclaimed, then he noticed Jaune in front of him "Oh, Jaune, you smelled that dust too?"
"I think so, I don't really remember actually" Jaune said honestly
"Great! Another participant for our race" Neptune exclaimed with solemnity
"Race?" Jaune raised an eyebrow
"Oh right, we are doing a race, who wins, will choose what type of dream comes next" Scarlet explained
"We had kings, pirates, monster trucks, dystopic futures" Sun counted with his fingers as he listed all the worlds they were playing moments ago
"Do you want to joins us?" Neptune asked
Jaune thought for a moment…
Nah, just kidding, he was bouncing in his place with excitement and nodding dumbly
Sun chuckled a little "Alright then, we have our twelfth participant"
"Let the games begin!" Neptune yelled, and accidentally broke the mood of the room "Sorry, too soon?" he said embarrassed
Scarlet sighed "Ignore that" and then he opened the cloud
There were another six participants waiting in their respective cars. There was Sage dressed as a soldier, Yatsu dressed as a ninja, Fox dressed as a magician, Dove, Sage and Russel dressed as Spartans, and also there was a woman outside of the race course with a notebook in her left hand
"Professor Peach?" Jaune asked dumfound
"Mr. Arc" she replied "I'm glad that you finally decide to accompany us"
"So, what is this for?"
"Just a little experiment I'm doing for my new investigation about the human and Faunus psique" She explained like if Jaune understood what she was talking "Anyways, enjoy the dream while I'm taking notes"
Jaune nodded as a reply, and then he asked to Cardin "So, how do I get a car here?"
"it's not obvious? You have to create it" Cardin rolled his eyes
Jaune thought for a moment, and then a black and a luxurious car appeared in front of him
"Woah, it looks awesome" Sun said
"It's the Hunt Car!" Jaune replied with a low voice, and then he was dressed with his superhero's clothes
"A superhero? Cool" Scarlet replied "But not as cool as pirates"
"Don't discuss about this theme again, Scarlet" Sage said in his car, that was actually a tub with wheels
Scarlet just sighed and he went to his car, or, more specifically, a ship with wheels
There were a lot of diverse "cars". Fox had a normal red Ferrari, Yatsu was on a carriage with horses, Cardin was in a motorcycle with fire wheels, Sun had his monster truck, Neptune was in a throne with wheels and the rest of team CDRL was in a roman chariot
"Ok guys!" the professor shouted "Ready, set, go!"
And then the race begun, with a lot of obstacles, monster, traps and bizarre courses and artifacts
(4 hours later)
After of hours of adventure in which the boys were doing things like being superheroes, freestyle wrestling, fights with laser swords, fights against mommies, finding hidden treasures in the ocean (That wasn't very funny for Neptune though), parkour in the streets, and extreme monopoly, the professor said that was enough for this night
"Alright boys, I know that it's fun and all, but its 5:40 already and I want all of you in your own clouds before the sun rises and your consciences take off from your bodies" the professor stated as she finished taking notes
Soon the group returned back to their own clouds of dreams
Jaune was finally again in his dorm, there were some birds singing already, fortunately it was a Saturday
"Hmm, I forgot about Nora's cloud" he approached slowly to the cloud but before he could do something he saw a cartel that frozen him in fear
There was a cartel, written in a red paint that said "DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE" and the scream of a Grimm was heard inside of the cloud
"Nope" he said as he walked back to his own cloud "Nope nope nope nope nope nope" and then he opened the door of the cloud and he slammed it without looking back
(In the morning)
Jaune woke up, and he felt tired
"Uhgh, why my head aches?" Then he remembered it "Uh right, Extreme Monopoly"
Then Ren, still in pajamas, approached to his bed "So, how was your odyssey?"
"Absolutely bizarre" he replied "By the way, did you know about that experiment of Professor Peach?
"I was there with you when she wanted some help with her thesis" he shrugged "By the way, you didn't enter to Nora's dream, right?"
Jaune felt goosebumps when he remember the door "Fortunately, I didn't"
"Good, I don't want to see my brother of other mother being traumatized" he giggled a little "You're coming? Nora's asking me for her special breakfast in the saloon"
The two guys were walking in the halls when suddenly they were stopped by Professor Peach with a notebook on her arm
"Good morning, Mr Arc, Mr Ren, Did you had fun in your dreams?"
Both students nodded in rely
"Great, unfortunately, I don't think we can't do this again for a long time"
"Why? Something happened?" Ren asked
"It's more for the safety of your lives and minds, I don't want to see what would happened if you were outside of your clouds for more than 5 hours" She explained "By the way, you didn't have any troubles this morning?"
"Actually, I had a weird headache when I woke up" Jaune said, and Ren shook his head because he was in his cloud all the time
"Just a headache? Nothing like hallucinations, new traumas, aches in your body or sudden premonitions that are warming you about possible deaths?" the professor asked as she was writing the information in her notebook
"Nothing" The boys shook their head in response
"Good to know, now, if you excuse me, I need to talk with team SSSN" and she left the hall, leaving the 2 boys with several questions
However, when they final reached his destination, Ren and Jaune were greeted to see a Valkyrie telling her usual stories while Yang, Velvet and Ruby were listening her
Jaune felt a little of pain in his jaw when he saw his girlfriend Yang, and a little of panic when he saw Velvet smiling at him
"And then big monster was in front of me! It had a lot of sharp teeth, and it was like an Ursa but with wings like a Nevermore! And he wanted to eat me, but I use my hammer and Ren come and-"Nora was telling the greatest adventure to everyone, that probably it was just a dream
"You know, since I heard those weird sounds last night, I don't know if that tale was real or not" Jaune muttered, and Ren nodded in agreement
Suddenly, Jaune's sight was covered by a girl in sunglasses
"Hey Coco good morni-"
"If you tell somebody about what happened last night your will regret it, Arc" Coco said with a dark tone
Jaune, far from being scared, gave a stupid smile to her "Understood"
"I'm talking on serious Jaune, if you tell that to somebody like Yang or Fox-"
"Okay okay, lips sealed" Jaune said still with his dorky smile
Coco was turning away when the knight muttered under his breath "Bronie"
"What did you just said?!" Coco said angrily with a blush on her face
"Nothing, I said nothing!" Jaune said with fast waving hand gestures
Coco glared at him, and then she seated in the couch where to watch the news
"Ok, that was weird" Ren said as he walked to the kitchen to prepare Nora's breakfast
Jaune only sighed in response "That's the last time I'm wandering between worlds"
"Wandering? What are you talking about?" A voice behind him talked
"Uh?" Jaune said, then he noticed Blake standing beside him
"Oh hi Blake, just ignore what I said" he answered, then he noticed something new in the girl "Hey, what happened with the bow?"
"Oh? I just… got bored to use it" She looked away "It's something wrong, Jaune?"
"No! I mean, no… you look more beautiful like this, I like it" He said with honestly, ignoring the blush on his face when he said that
A pink color on her cheeks appeared and a smile of joy and relief appeared in the cat faunus "I'm happy to hear that" she gave a kiss on his cheek and she went to table were was still the group listening Nora's tale while she was still waiting for her breakfast with impatience
Jaune went to the fridge and he grabbed a yogurt, then he grabbed a spoon and he seated in the couch were Pyrrha, Weiss and Coco were watching the TV
Jaune sat aside Weiss, She was reclaiming to Coco to stop changing channels, but the girl didn't listened her
"Good morning babe" Pyrrha stood up to give a kiss to her boyfriend. A kiss that tasted like grape yogurt
Then, he remember Pyrrha's dream "Hey Pyrrha, can I ask you something?"
The girl nodded in response
"What would you think I a let my hair grow up? Like you know, to make me a ponytail or something like that?"
He giggled a little when he saw the flustered face of the redhead. The girl's imagination was working nonstop, thinking how Jaune would look with long hair or with a ponytail like hers
"I-I what- I d-don't k-know If you wanted to do it t-then I w-will not be mad or something" She said, but actually her mind was shouting him to do it
Then she excuse herself to the table
Jaune giggled a little more until he noticed the glare of Weiss behind him
"No" she said, referring to the hair part "You would look awful"
"Pftt, Party pooper" Jaune said as a joke
"I know what are you trying to do, so don't ever think about it"
Then Jaune remembered Weiss's dream when he saw the glare of the girl
"Hey, I think you owe me something" He said with his typical dorky smile
"Oh yeah? Sorry but if its money then I-"Weiss was interrupted when Jaune got closer to her and her lips were covered by his
Jaune kissed her and after a couple of seconds he pulled away slowly
"Sorry, I really wanted to do it" he said smiling
"D-Dolt" she looked away with a cracked voice and a red face
"Aw that's unfair! I want a kiss too!" before Jaune could see who said that, a trail of roses ran to him, and a new pair of lips smacked against his
His eyes widened, but soon he closed them as he hugged the new girl who was kissing him
After a minute, he pulled out a little and he asked a question
"Say Ruby, would do you like to learn tango with me?"
Her eyes widened at the idea "Oh my god you know how to dance tango?!"
"I mean, I used to dance that with my mother and my sister Jane, so yeah, I know a little"
She hugged him with force "I'd love to! When we will begin?"
"Ehmm, what about after lunch?" jaune suggested
Ruby cheered in response and then she went to kiss his boyfriend a little more
Jaune sighed in relief, at least this time, nobody was hurt and his mind was apparently fin-
Wait a minute, is that a ghost standing in front of him?
"Oh oh"
And this is what happens when you are daydreaming in classes
I was remembering that SpongeBob chapter when he was messing with his friend's dreams. So I thought "hey, that could be an excellent idea for a chapter!" and then this thing was born.
In this chapter I didn't want to put the girls in jealous mode, at least Jaune can rest a little only for this time
And I decided to take off Blake's bow, why? Because she is cuter without that bow, at least that's what I think (and probably Jaune too)
Like I put always in my fics at the end, I don't own RWBY, apologies for the grammar mistakes, and see you next update!
P.S: My older sister will defend her thesis this Friday, wish her good luck! :D
