Once again, it's night time here at remnant. All of us just finished doing our respective homework as the wind watches over us. I sat at our living area's couch for a while, gazing at the distance, like I usually do. Alfaine and Undine decided to head to the baths first, since i decided that we would all bathe per gender. And so Feige was left with me, reading a book of some kind. During the last couple of weeks here at beacon, the visions of the rests kept coming back as dreams. . .Papyrus dying once more, Undyne's fall. . .My failure to keep Tori's promise. . .I thought i let those thoughts go 12 years ago.

"Ah, I believe i forgot to mention this earlier. . ." Feige said, as i jolted awake from my thoughts. "We were supposed to have a field Trip to Forever Fall tomorrow."

"forever fall. . .isn't that the place with the red sap?" I asked with a grin, as Feige nodded in response. "who else will be there?"

"Teams RWBY, and JNPR." Feige said, as i fiddled with a tiny bone in my left hand. "I believe CRDL will be there, too." Soon enough, i crushed to bone as it landed in my hands. CRDL. The only group with the capacity to hurt the Faunus. . .If they were to pair up with one, then they'll probably humiliate them too. . .Dirty Bastards. . .

"so. . .when are we leaving?" I asked, as the bone faded to small ashes.

"About Tomorrow morning." Feige replied, as i stood up and headed to the balcony. I just stood there, gazing at the stars once more. With the moon's shattered appearance lit up the sky along with the stars. Everyone back home would enjoy this. . .But tonight, i guess i should take a walk somewhere, see if my Magic is slowly coming back to me.

"i'll be going for a walk. . .make sure you guys tuck in for the night, 'kay?" I said as i opened the door. Truth be told, i'm still not used to this 'leader' business being assigned to me. I mean, sure, i'm a great fighter and all, it's just. . .'Bone Tiring'. Tonight, i plan to go somewhere behind the dorms. See if i can perform my blue magic again. . .

Just as i went out of my room, i saw Jaune peeking in at his room. At least, he's planning to say something but is scared to do so. . .Is something wrong? Now that i think about it, ever since that day when i pierced Cardin's arm, CRDL's keeping a close eye on Jaune. Not to mention, they always seem to think of him as a 'Friend'. Weird, i know.

"Hey Jaune!" Ruby greeted, as she came out of her own room. She was wearing a black tank top, and some pink rose patterned pajamas. "Long time no see!. . .Did you lock yourself out again?" She joked, pointing her finger at him.

"Oh...Uh...N-nope!" Jaune smiled, pulling out his scroll. "S-still got it!" He laughed sheepishly

"So, where have you been?" Ruby asked, as Jaune looked above nervously.

"I...uh..." Jaune scratched the back of his head. Soon enough, he let out a disappointed sigh. "I messed up. I did something i shouldn't have, and now Cardin's got me on a leash and Pyrrha. . .wouldn't even talk to me!" He said, slowly sliding down from his dorm's door. "I'm starting to think this is a bad idea. . ." He sighed, looking at the floor before looking back at Ruby. "I'm a failure, don't you think?"

"Nope!" Ruby replied with a tiniest bit of enthusiasm.

"Nope?" Jaune asked in confusion as Ruby walked up to him.

"Nope. You're a leader now, Jaune. You're not allowed to be a failure!" Ruby replied, as Jaune slowly regained his composure.

"But what if I'm a failure at being a leader?" Jaune asked, worrying whether or not he's worthy of being a leader or not. Truth be told, i have my doubts, but i shouldn't interfere with this world's timeline.

"Mmm. . .Nope." Ruby replied once more, this time, making Jaune chuckle.

"You know, you're not the easiest person to talk about this kind of stuff. . ." Jaune said, as Ruby sat beside him.

"Nope!" Ruby replied replied once more. Honestly, she seemed to be cute when she says 'Nope' that way. I guess it's her natural charm. "Okay, You might've been a failure sometime in your life, but you can't be one now! And you know why?" Ruby asked, as Jaune tried his best to come up with an answer.

"Because. . ."

"Because it's not just about you anymore." Ruby said before Jaune can even answer. "You got a team now. . .We both do! And if we fail, we'll be bringing them down with us." Ruby said in a motherly tone. . .In the way i phrase it, i meant that it might be something her mother would say if she was still alive in this timeline. . ."We have to put our teammates first, and ourselves second."

Myself. . .Second?. . .It is true that it's the duty of a leader but. . .Are they ready to handle the truth about my past? Upon hearing that, i sighed. Thinking about it, i never really thought about them. I believed that they could handle themselves for a while. Soon, Ruby bid Jaune a 'good night', encouraging him to try and be a good leader. Just as Jaune decided to enter his room, his scroll rang; and guess who it is? Cardin Winchester. As much as i hate him, i guess punishing him right now would be. . .Irresponsible. Soon enough, Jaune was done with his scroll and began to walk along the hallway. Probably to do some errand Cardin told him. I shouldn't interfere with any of their events, so i shrugged, and went on my way...

Now where was i headed again. . .?

Oh right, the back of the dorm. I really want to test something out. As soon as i arrived there, i made my eyes turn black, as i felt one of them burning. My blue eye is back. It burnt a bright blue flame as i pointed my left arm at a random boulder.

"alrighty. . .let's just lift this up and. . ." I muttered as the boulder lifted as a response to my blue magic. It was now covered in a bright blue flame as my hand glowed a bright cyan color. I guess i was right. . . But surprisingly, the boulder disappeared as i stopped using my magic. Is this a natural reaction to Aura? While i was thinking of that, my Scroll rang.

"hello?" I picked up my scroll.

"Greetings, Sora." My Father greeted in his usual nonchalant tone. "Have you been reminded of your field trip to Forever Fall?" He asked, as i replied with a simple yes. "Good. Get some rest now, okay?" he said, with a little hint of concern in his voice.

"ok." I said, as he soon hung up. I really want to try out something else but. . .I'm tired. . .Might as well sleep.

The next day, we woke up as usual. Nothing really changed except for the fact that Jaune didn't eat with us again. It's starting to get really annoying. Anyway,fast forward to a few hours later to where we are right now; Forever Fall. A forest of luscious red leaves resembling(wait for it) fall all year long. Huh, guess that's where the name came from. Most of the students are in awe, my team included, of this forest's unnatural color. Although I got this odd feeling that it's supposed to foreshadow something...

"Yes students, the forest is indeed majestic, but we aren't here to sight see." Dr. W.D Grey said to the students, with a couple of white-purple glowing skeletal hands carrying a Scroll and a box. He also had a cup of coffee with him for some reason, but I guess that I should tell you guys that he likes it black. "Professor Peach had asked us to collect samples deep within this forest. And as you probably all know, She's the school's nurse and health physician." He turned around, his left hand shoved inside his black lab coat. "And I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so." He snapped his fingers, as one of the glowing hands picked up a glass jar from one of the boxes it carries. "Each one of you is to collect at least 1 Jar's worth of sap. Although I advise you to stay with your teams due to intense Grimm activity around these parts. You are to return here at 16 hundred hours." Dad briefed, as the hands placed the box of jars in front of the students, gesturing to take one of them. "Or in other terms, return to this very spot at 4 o' clock. Begin." He turned around as a skeletal hand grabbed a jar, looking for a tree to start with. Of course, every student took one jar and went with their teams. Well, all of them except Jaune.

"C'mon, 'Buddy'." Cardin gestured, grabbing Jaune by the Hood after he had just picked his jar. "Let's go." He 'Smiled', as Jaune looked at his departing team. Pyrrha was looking back, a strong hint of concern can be seen in her expression. Soon enough, Jaune sighed, going along with Cardin.

"yo alf." I turned to Alfaine, looking back at me with curiosity. "you guys proceed without me. i'll be there in a jiffy." I said with a smile, as Alfaine nodded. I approached Pyrrha moments later. She carrying a jar and sighing...The expression of mere loneliness and concern is engraved all around her.
" 'sup P." I tapped Pyrrha's shoulder, causing her to nearly drop her javelin as she turned around. "mind if we have a chat?"

"N-not at all, It's just..." Pyrrha rubbed her arms in nervousness, almost as if a cat got her tounge(No offense any cat-fauni around)

"it's about jaune is it?" I shrugged, causing her to blush a little. "that expression. . .do you like him platonically or. . .?" I was soon cut off by the sight of Pyrrha's royal flush. Guess my guess was right. I decided to just keep my mouth shut and merely shrugged, knowing for a fact that Jaune over there has a chance...A big catch, too. "anyway, i'm here to tell you that you wouldn't need to worry about him. i can bring jaune back to you no prob."

"Y-you don't have to, really." Pyrrha shook her head, flustering softly. "I can just have a talk with him later..."

"which is exactly my plan." I snapped, winking a bit. "i'll have you talk to him on the spot in front of CRDL." Pyrrha look shocked for a bit, taking a step back and blushed even further than the expression she displayed. Ah, love. Why're you so innocent and naive? "i know you're not ready, but bear with me for a second...don't worry, there aren't any bears here." I chuckled, causing Pyrrha to laugh a bit. "let's go where jaune is..." I said, taking her free hand. It's a bit rusty, but I think I know how to do this. "come on, i think i know a shortcut. " I winked, walking even further into the forest aimlessly. Now before she even worries about getting lost, I flashed my grin, taking my free hand and snapped; both of us disappearing in blue flames in a blink of an eye...

OHMAIGOD Sorry I'm not active for a while...School n' stuff. So I may return next week to finish off the Forever Fall series, due to me having exams this week...Incredible, huh? Anyway, let me put into words what I'm hyped about; Volume 4 of RWBY. Yes, I've seen the leak. Ruby had a resemblance to her Henceforward AU outfit, except for them stockings. I am now looking forward for Volume 4. But that would mean Volume 4 takes place after a time skip, so I guess that'll be my Volume 5.

Anyway, please give a feedback, suggestions, and/or questions! I'll see you guys next week!
