Jaune POV incoming.

Chapter 6: Pros and Cons

"How many girls have you dated?"

Caius turned to me and replied, "I think twelve or so, boss. All of them were in for the money. Why?"

It was just him and I. The rest of the team were off practicing or something. I honestly have no idea. I decided to ask Caius about dating because he seemed like someone who went on a date once a day.

"Can you… uh… help me with something?" I asked.

"Yeah," he replied. "Who are you comparing?"

"Wait… what?"

"I can tell. Sure, I'll help."

"How…?"

He smiled wickedly again. He rushed out the door and came back in a few seconds later, holding a large piece of paper.

"Have a pencil?" he asked.

I picked one out of Ren's stack and tossed it to him. He scribbled something on the paper before sticking it on the wall.

The paper had two headings on opposite sides of it: Pyrrha and Ruby. Underneath each name was Pros and Cons.

He kept his staff in rod mode as he drew it and asked me, "Are you ready to begin the lesson, boss?"

For some reason, he always called me 'boss.' I didn't get it, but I appreciated his loyalty.

"Yeah, sure," I said, confused.

He pointed to the pros list on Pyrrha's side and told me, "So, here are the pros of going out with Pyrrha: she's nice, caring, obviously thinks much about you, is very hot, and powerful."

I couldn't really reply. My mouth hung open like an idiot.

"On her cons list, she's easily, ah, 'corruptible,' as being so popular, it can get in her pretty head. And you'll become a hit marker for Cardin."

"What does Cardin have to do with this?" I asked.

"Don't you know boss?"

I shook my head.

"Okay, let's forget it. Now…" he pointed to Ruby's side. "The ups about going out with Ruby is that she's cute, younger, awesome, also socially awkward, and no guys like-like her. As for cons…"

"What kind of cons can Ruby have?" I interrupted.

Caius frowned and continued, "She has an older sister who might try to kill you or get jealous of her…"

"Why would Yang like me?"

"Dude, you're the guy every girl wants, man."

"False."

"Dude, it's most definitely true. Now, going on… Pyrrha may kill you…"

"Couldn't Ruby have killed me if Pyrrha went out with me?"

"No. Kill her, more like it, and that's only a con for Pyrrha. Now… also that scythe may run you through if you hug her wrong. Like in the way that you accidentally run yourself through while it was still in scythe mode. And finally…"

The final con on Ruby's list was a picture of a wooden board.

"Um… what?" I asked.

Then I realized what it meant.

"No. Just… no," I said immediately after realizing that.

Caius looked at it and asked, "What? It's true,"

"Yeah, I know, but… that's not what I'm after!"

Caius put his hands up and said, "Okay, boss, chill. But just… look at the facts! The clear winner is right here!"

For some reason, I doubted his thoughts. But he had a point.

"Should I go ask Pyrrha?" I asked.

"You can go on right ahead," Pyrrha said from the doorway.

I jumped and shouted a demeaning noise.

Pyrrha didn't seem to care about the 'chart' comparing her to Ruby. But she just looked at me, a smile on her face.

I turned to Caius, who grinned and plugged his ears.

"So… uh… Pyrrha," I said, "do you want to… uh… go out with me?"

Her smile grew as she replied, "Of course, Jaune."

Caius twirled his staff and it made a few clanking sounds before it folded and unfolded into a zanbato.

"How did…?" I asked.

"My craftsmen," he replied casually.

He jumped high for a weapon so heavy and sent a red arc (ha ha) of doom spinning towards me. I raised my shield and I felt as if the weapon's weight would make me crack. He spun his weapon again and it transformed itself into a spear. He jabbed at me and I parried it with Corcea Mors. It extended in my face and I knocked the point beside. The moment I did that, it changed into a scythe and the point was at my neck.

Satisfied, he spun the scythe, which turned back into a rod and belted it.

"Interesting warm-up, boss," he complimented.

Warm up?! I thought, disappointed with myself.

"Erm… yeah! I wasn't even trying!" I shouted, trying to sound confident.

Pyrrha came up to me and asked, "You ready to get going?"

I grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, sure. You ready Caius?"

I looked over at Caius, whose face was blank of emotion.

At the door of the training room was RWBY.

Ruby was staring straight at me, her face in pure horror.

Go ahead and call me evil for making this happen. I don't care. After all, I'm gonna bring out punchy Yang next time!

VERY, VERY PUNCHY.
