~With Jaune~

'Well this sucks!' Jaune thought irritably as he was currently clutching a trashcan, releasing his breakfast in a horrid motion. Apparently, Jaune had forgotten to grab one of his pills as he had slept in and was now paying for it.

In both nearly missing the airship, but now losing his breakfast.

Feeling his stomach settle slightly, Jaune returned to his seat and kept thinking calm thoughts in an attempt to settle his stomach.

This lasted for another 30 minutes until the airship finally landed, giving Jaune a chance to calm down further as he then left the airship. Stopping for a second, Jaune decided to check the time and grimaced as he saw it.

"12:26? I've got to be more prepared for this sort of thing next time," with a sigh, he looked around and wondered where he would go for today.

'What to do, what to do...meh, might as well just wander for awhile till I find somewhere to go.' With no other thoughts coming, he wandered into the crowd and began to walk around.

~Meanwhile, at the Club~

"Man, today is so slooooooow," Miltia groaned as she laid her down on the bar counter, getting a nod of understanding from her sister Melanie. Junior sighed as he set down the glass he had been polishing and looked at the two.

"Look, I get. You two are bored. Why don't you go and do something while I watch over the place?" The two looked at him for a moment before tilting their heads to the side.

"Like what?" They asked in unison, which somewhat disturbed Junior as he answered them. "I don't know: Go to the store? Head to the park? Whatever you two usually do!"

They didn't say anything until Melanie crossed her arms, "Are you trying to get rid of us?"

Junior pinched his nose in annoyance before speaking again. "No, I'm not, but sometimes I just worry you two might need to do something...normal, for once in a while." They both raised an eyebrow as they said in unison once more. "Define 'Normal?'"

"You know, like getting a boyfriend, getting an education, not sticking around the club 24/7?" They seemed slightly irked by those statements, but the glare he gave them told them not to argue.

"Now I understand, you two are old enough to go through life the way you wish, but for Oum's sake you two are here all the time - and your shift doesn't even start till 9!"

"All I'm asking is, for my sake, please go and do something normal for once and actually act like teenagers?" He practically begged as he clasped his hands together before giving them the best puppy eyes he could manage, though the effect wasn't really all that good as the twins seemed to back up a bit, clearly disturbed by the notion.

"Fine, we'll go and do something, just don't do THAT again." They then got up from their stools and left to go and change into more fitting clothing before they head out.

Junior sighed in content as they were soon out of hearing distance. While they were good bodyguards, he often thought of those two as pseudo-daughters to him since it felt like he was raising them all the time. He at least wanted to see them doing things OUTSIDE of the club, though he was also hoping to try out the 'overprotective father' mode at least once in his life.

With a smile, he returned to cleaning glasses, not fully aware what he had set in motion.

~Back with Jaune~

"Its official, I have absolutely no idea where I'm going," Jaune said in finality as he was standing in the middle of one of the more busy streets, not knowing what to do honestly.

He had been walking for about ten minutes now, and honestly, he wasn't sure what the hell to do at the moment. Sure, he had been told to plant the sensors in different spots, but why the hell in such a short time span that wouldn't allow him to enjoy himself.

Sometimes, being the nice guy sucked.

However, his thoughts were soon interrupted as a person soon bumped into him, dropping the items they were holding at that moment.

"Oh shit, sorry!" Jaune turned to see who had bumped into him, and was slightly surprised to see that it was a older woman. Actually, more like an older faunus.

She looked to be around her early thirties, as she was a lot taller than him, and had long, black hair with a few streaks of red as well as red eyes. She was wearing an open leather jacker along with a black sleeveless shirt that was strained due to her rather large chest, a pair of black cargo shorts and a pair of military-style combat boots. What really caught his attention, were the pair of dog-like ears poking through her hair and the tail that was swinging lazily behind her.

Jaune then snapped himself back to attention as he then began to help pick up her things. "No its alright, I was just kinda standing there anyway."

The woman smiled in gratitude, as she and Jaune soon picked everything back up before placing them back in the bag.

"Thank you," she said with a smile, "Most people usually wouldn't bother helping me most of the time, y'know, with me being a Faunus and all."

"Well, I'm not like most people, " Jaune said with a light grin, "Besides, most of my friends are Faunus, and I really don't care that kind of stuff."

The woman grinned, showing off her canines, as she patted him on the shoulder. "Your alright kid, whats your name?"

"Jaune Arc, madam."

"Cool, names Kary!" The now known Kary stated as she extended a hand out, to which Jaune shook. "Nice to meet you Kary. By the way, why were you in such a hurry?"

Kary huffed as she rolled her eyes. "Damn teammate got sick after eating some bad sushi, so I had to go and get her something to ease her stomach."

"Oh, well I hope she's alright," Jaune said in slight worry, only to get spooked when Kary began to laugh. "Haha, don't worry kid! She'll be just fine, nothing she can't handle."

Jaune smiled at that before a thought came to mind. "Say Kary, do you know of any good places to go and relax?"

She blinked for a second before putting up a thinking pose. "Hmm, well...their's an old arcade a street or two away from here, its a great hotspot for people to hang out and relax, why not try there?" Jaune thought for a second till he remembered the list of places to go, and soon smiled.

"Alright, I guess I could go there, thanks for the advice!" Kary grinned again before giving him a thumbs up. "No problem kid!"

"Have a good one!" Jaune said as he began to make his way down the street, leaving Kary as she waved him off.

"See ya!" She said before turning and making her way towards her motel. 'What a nice kid.'

~Back with the Twins~

"Goodness, this is more boring than the bar!" Miltia said in irritation as she and Melanie were walking down the street, wearing a pair of red and white sundresses. Melanie, on the other hand, was a bit more optimistic as she seemed intrigued by the different stores and shops .

"I don't know Miltia, some of these stores are actually kinda cool," Melanie stated cooly as she looked through some of the windows of the stores, looking at the different items inside.

Miltia sighed as she and Melanie entered a comfortable silence as they simply looked around. However, a thought was bugging Melanie for some time now, and she decided to voice it out.

"Hey Miltia?" The girl in question turned to her as she blushed lightly. "Whats up?"

"You ever think...we'd actually find a boyfriend at some point?" Miltia didn't say anything, but sighed as she ran a hand through her hair.

"I dunno, maybe, but who would be willing to date us?" Melanie thought for a second before a person entered her mind, sparking a pink hue on her face as she stuttered out.

"W-What about that c-cute boy we met a few years back?" Miltia stopped as she wondered what her sister meant by that, but it finally came to her as she finally recollected the thought.

"You mean that boy we met when we were 12?" Melanie nodded awkwardly as Miltia thought back on him. They were roughly 12 at the time, but didn't really live anywhere due to their slight criminal record, so they never really socialized with anyone.

One day, however, that changed when they met a boy out in the woods, who at the time was practicing with a wooden sword. At first he was a little hesitant, as well as they were, but he soon began to talk to them almost daily. He'd often go on about how he wanted to as good as his forefathers were, or about how amazing his sisters were as they were huntresses in training.

For the next three years, they continued to meet up with eachother, and would talk about how life was treating them or simply share some interesting stories along the way. Before the twins knew it, that boy had managed to grow closer to them than anyone else had.

Sadly, things soon went south when the police became aware of them, and they eventually had to leave the boy. They felt bad, but they assured him they would try to visit him again.

Miltia couldn't help but smile at the memories. Those were some of their more happier times long ago, but even she couldn't help but wish that they could do it again.

"Miltia!" Melanie blurted out, stirring the girl from her thoughts, as she grabbed her sister by the arm and pointed forward, directing her sisters attention. Looking in the direction her sister was facing, she was somewhat surprised to see an old arcade of sorts.

She had seen this place a lot, but never really had much of a reason to go in the first place. Guess she'll have one in a few seconds.

"Why don't we go in here? It might be fun!" Melanie grinned lightly as she dragged Miltia along with her, the latter really hoping she was at least right about this.

~With Jaune, a few minutes before the twins arrived~

"Okay, the place should be...here," Jaune muttered as he then looked forward to see the Old Arcade. It didn't look much on the outside, but after entering, the place was a lot more interesting on the inside.

The place was dimly lit, though the lighting was preferred, as dozens of different arcade systems were scattered about, each one up and running and with a few different people crowding around them.

Jaune couldn't help but shiver lightly, the air in the place was a lot cooler than it was outside. Shaking off the cold, Jaune walked about and looked around to see what games were around.

So far, he was pretty impressed with the selections to pick from. It ranged from racing games, to old classics such as Pac-man and Dig-Dug, to some different shooting games such as Brutal Doom and Alien extermination, and some fighting games such as Tekken or Street Fighter.

(AN: Again, I. OWN. NOTHING! Also, what can I say? I love the classic AND new games~!)

What did catch Jaune's attention, however, was a certain arcade game that he hadn't seen in so many years. Walking up to it, he couldn't help but gain a look of pure nostalgia.

The machine was two-sided, each having a separate platform that the players could utilize, with a pair of screens facing them. On the platforms were nine different tiles with an arrow facing in different directions, while the middle laid blank.

The game was called Dance Dance Revolution, an old classic that Jaune and his Mom often messed around with when he was younger. He was horrible at dancing before, but after a few lessons with his mom and sisters as well as going a few rounds on this game, he had gotten a lot better.

Looking around, he found a token machine and decided to see if he was still any good. Going over, he pulled out a few bills and placed them in the machine. As he waited, a thought then came to mind.

'Wait, wasn't I supposed to...oh right, the sensor!' Giving a quick look around, Jaune pulled out the device and activated it. Looking for a good spot to hide it, he spotted a potted plant and walked toward it. Giving one last look, he moved some of the soil and buried the sensor before covering it up.

Quickly cleaning his hands, Jaune returned and retrieved his tokens before heading towards the system. Taking one side, Jaune checked the song list and was quite impressed.

This system seemed to be filled a lot of different music, ranging from rock to pop to country and so forth. Seeing a few songs he hadn't seen before, he decided to try it out.

"Select your song~!"

"Hmm, let's try...this one!"

"Song selected! Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be..." Jaune muttered as the screen soon changed.

(AN: Alright, I'll be honest here...I've been wishing to do this for some time now, so I apologize if its a little weird for people. For the sake of time, I will not add the subtitles for the song, but you can find it on Youtube if you wish to listen to it!)

"Now playing: Break the Shell by The Kamen Rider Girls!"

The music began slowly, but as soon as the first few moves appeared the song went into overdrive as Jaune was soon sidestepping and twisting in order to keep up. Just as he began to get into the groove, the singing soon began.

"Tozasareta kuukan de..."
"zutto yume wo miteru..."
"asahi wo zutto minai you to me wo toji..."

Jaune, for the life of him, couldn't make out any of the words as he was trying to keep up with the moves on the screen. But, the music was very enjoyable to say the least.

"Yasashikute itoshi sugite..."
"Itsuka tebanasezu ni..."
"Kioku wo Replay furubita eiga mitai ni"

As the singing and music continued to get more and more...excitable, Jaune soon found it much easier to keep up with the beat.

And it just so happens, that someone else seemed to be picking up on it as well.

~With Melanie~

After her and Miltia had entered the place, Melanie couldn't help but already like the place. It seemed so old, but she didn't mind it whatsoever. Looking around, she spotted a token machine and, in the span of a nano-second, had already gone and retrieved enough for her to use.

However, when she began to move around, she heard some singing. She didn't recognize the song, but she couldn't help but follow where the noise was coming from. After walking for a few minutes, she found the source in the form of a Dance Dance Revolution.

She couldn't see who was playing on the other side, but on the on her side it had a prompt saying 'Join Game'.

She grew curious, and decided to see what it would do. Placing some tokens in, and clicked the icon.

"Second player has joined! Ready?"

~No one's perspective~

Jaune and Melanie's eyes widened, for Jaune it was due to the sudden announcement, and for Melanie it was because of how the game had started for her. As she stepped up to the platform as the screen soon changed over to the current game as she soon began to dance.

"Jikan ni sakaratte" (Time never stops)
"Omoide wo nagamete"
Kizuitara te-okure" (Remain alone)
"Tatta hitori"

"Ima wo ikite iku no naraba" (Living today)
"Mamoru dake ja ikenai" (Don't be afraid)
"Kizu tsuku koto saki ni kowagarazu ni"
(Tobi-kome Right now Go right now)
"Tatakau mono dake ga asu e yukeru sa"
"Break the shell"

"Utsuri yuku hana no iro"
"Machi no keshiki sae mo"
"Kawatta shunkan omoi-dasenaku naru hodo"

"'Eien' te ni ireta" (Time never stops)
"Princess mo ita kedo"
"Kekkyoku wa Fiction" (Remain alone)
"Otogi-banashi"

"Ima wo ikite iku no naraba" (Living today)
"Shigami-tsuicha ikenai" (Don't be afraid)
"Nagare-tomezu tada mae wo mitsumete"
(Tobi-kome Right now Go right now)
"Kako ni bakari nigetenaide ima sugu"
"Break the shell"

The song began to settle, but the two knew that things were about to get nuts, and soon braced themselves. After a few seconds, things went insane as the two were practically dancing like professionals as hundreds of icons were now flashing through the screen.

"Nee omoide wo suterun ja naku"
"Issho ni tsureteku no"
"Boku ga yume wo miteru mirai tsuyoku daite ima sono sakie"

The two then relaxed slightly as the song soon revered back to its original rhythm.

"Ima wo ikiteiku no naraba" (Living today)
"Mamoru dake ja ikenai" (Don't be afraid)
"Kizu tsuku koto saki ni kowagarazu ni"
"(Tobi-kome Right now Go right now)"

"Ima wo ikite iku no naraba" (Living today)
"Shigami tsuicha ikenai" (Don't be afraid)
"Nagare-tomezu tada mae wo mitsume"
"Kimi no (Kimi no) kaku wo (kaku wo) yaburi (yaburi) sutete"
"Kako ni bakari nigetenaide ima sugu"

"Break the shell"

The song soon slowed before coming to a finish as the end games screen soon pulled up. Jaune was surprised to see that his score had been surprisingly good with a total of 98% of the moves done, while Melanie earned an understandable 90% due to arriving about mid-way into the song.

"Phew, that was intense," Jaune said as he wiped a bit of sweat from his brow as he stepped down from the dance pad, around the same time Melanie stepped down from hers as well.

As the two looked at each other, they couldn't but stop for a second. For Jaune, the girl in front of him looked oddly familiar, like someone he had met not too long ago. For Melanie, she also had an odd sense of nostalgia, but also couldn't help but blush.

'He looks...kinda cute.'

Jaune decided to break the silence as he extended his hand and gave a friendly smile. Melanie looked at it for a second, but smiled as well as she shook his hand.

"That was pretty good, I hand't expected anyone to join in but you handled that perfectly!" Melanie smiled at the compliment.

"I guess I can say the same to you, though you were doing it a lot longer than I was, you were pretty close to getting all the moves done." Jaune rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, though he appreciated the praise.

Then a thought hit Jaune.

"Um, not to be rude or anything, but whats your name?" Melanie seemed surprised by the sudden question, but seeing no major issue with it, she complied.

"Well since you asked nicely, my name is-

"Melanie!" The two looked over in surprise, though for Jaune it was for different reasons, as Melanie's sister came over with a look of annoyance on her face.

"Oh, uh, hi Miltia," Melanie said awkwardly as she remembered that she had practically left her sister at the entrance of the arcade right after they entered.

"Don't just 'hi' me! You completely abandoned me at the entrance like it was nothing!" Miltia huffed out angrily as she pouted, though she couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the boy her sister had been talking to.

'He looks...familiar,' She thought curiously as she took in his features.

"Sorry, I guess I kinda got carried away there didn't I?" Melanie said awkwardly as she then turned to Jaune.

"Uh, sorry about that; My name is Melanie Malachite and this is my sister Miltiades Malachite!" She introduced proudly as she went beside her sister. Jaune was, for a lack of the better term, shocked. He knew exactly who these two were.

Melanie waited a few seconds, but looked at Jaune and noticed his surprised look and instantly grew worried. Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned her name.

Just as she was about to say something, Jaune soon came to as he then rushed forward and pulled the two into rather awkward hug, though it was more awkward for them than him.

"I can't believe it! It IS you guys!" Melanie and Miltia were blushing from the sudden contact, though they were more confused by what he had said. Had they met this guy before.

Jaune pulled as he grinned brightly. "I can't believe its been so long now, you two have changed so much!"

Melanie was still confused, but decided to ask the proper question.

"U-Um, I'm sorry, but do we know you?" Jaune stopped for a second as he looked at them, though in his mind he realized instantly what his mistake was.

'Of course they probably don't recognize me, its been 2-3 years now!'

"Sorry, I guess I jumped the bullet there; Its me! Jaune Arc!" The twins stopped for a second as they processed the name before processing his features. After a minute of thought, their eyes widened in realization.

"J-J-Jaune?!" The two said in unison as they looked at their friend in undisguised shock. They hadn't figured they see him again, but...wow he's changed!

Jaune brought them into another hug once again, but this time the two hugged him back as they couldn't help but feel elated by this development.

After a few minutes, the three broke from the hug.

"I can't believe its you Jaune! You've changed in the last few years!" Melanie admitted as she looked at him in awe while Miltia nodded.

"Yeah, you've definitely grown since we last saw you, your taller than us now!" Miltia stated honestly as she saw that she and her sister pretty much reached up to his chin.

Jaune nodded as he looked at them. "And you can't count yourselves out of the loop either, you two have definitely gotten a lot prettier since we last met!"

The two couldn't help but smile at the compliment, feeling their faces flush as they looked away shyly.

"T-Thanks," They replied, again in unison. Honestly, even Jaune couldn't help but admit the action was vey cute. Looking around, Jaune spotted a small table nearby and walked towards it.

The twins, who were finally calming down, then turned to find that Jaune was gone. Looking around in a panic, they then spotted him as he was waving them over towards the table, prompting them to head towards him.

After sitting down, Jaune spoke.

"So, what have you two been up to? We haven't seen each other in awhile so I'm kinda curious."

"Well," Melanie started, "We've been working for some time now at one of the local clubs as waitresses. Its not much but its a pretty nice job."

"The pay is good too, and it also helps that the manager is an old friend so we were lucky that he was able to lend us a hand."

Jaune nodded with a smile, happy that the two were doing well. He was concerned at first, but was grateful that they were alright.

"So, how have you been Jaune? Still training?" Miltia asked with a smirk, noting at the fact that Jaune's muscles were pretty ripped after feeling the hug he gave them.

"Well, I guess you could say that, I've actually been training properly since I started going to Beacon," Jaune said with a hidden grin, which only grew when he saw their eyes widen.

"Y-Your a huntsman?" Melanie asked in pure shock, though she was very happy that her friend had managed such a feet.

"Uh-huh, and I've even managed to be appointed as a Team leader," Jaune said proudly as the twins' shock grew once more, making even Miltia's jaw hang. After a few minutes of silence, the two finally came to as they then asked, "Anything else happen that we should know of?"

So for the next hour, Jaune told about all of the different things that had transpired since Jaune's first day at Beacon. At times they laughed, others they grew angry (*Cough* Forever Fall *Cough*), but overall they were impressed. They had always hoped that Jaune may one day amount to something amazing, and hearing this made them happy that it had worked out for him.

Sadly, time seems to love fun a little too much as when Jaune checked his watch it was already 2:00 PM. He groaned as he noticed that he'd need to leave at some point and told the twins of his predicament.

They were a little sad that their catching-up time had to end, but he assured them he would call at some point and speak to them again. After a quick number exchange and group hug, Jaune and the twins parted ways as they left for home.

~Later that night, with the Twins~

"Finally you two came back, what took you so long?" Junior questioned as the twins walked through the door looking exhausted.

"We kinda got carried away and ended up going around Vale for awhile," Melanie said with a yawn as Miltia nodded as well.

"Well, go ahead and wash up, club's about to open up in 10 minutes." The twins nodded and made their way towards their rooms, but before they did Melanie stopped and looked towards Junior.

"Hey Junior?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for the advice, today was pretty fun!" With that, she turned back around and caught up with her sister. Junior blinked for a second, but smiled as he continued to get ready.

Just then however, a thought hit him.

'Wait, they didn't find a boy they like, did they?!' Junior thought maliciously as an over-protective nature began to fill his mind.

Off somewhere else, a certain Arc sneezed as a sense of dread seemed to dawn on him.

Dude just can't catch a break, can't he?
