Thehp93 back again. This was a struggle. I don't know why this was so hard for me, but I felt so many things kept falling in and out place for this. Oh, Yeah Poll OCs- No or Yes. If Yes submit to me an OC that can work with this story maybe RubyX since she is alone... It's becoming rather hard to add scenes and characters. As always Review, Pm, or find a way to contact me for any complaints, grammar errors, and or questions.
There Yang stood in the middle of the stage after they moved the piano that Weiss played before. The whispers and noises that came from the audience died down as all eyes focused on Yang.
Yang cracks her fists and rolls her shoulders as she limbers up. Yang had changed from her black V-neck into a tan sweatshirt that covered her chest up. She gave a wink to the audience as the male crowd cheered and whistled. Jaune sank a little deeper into his chair at Yang's fan club.
'I never seen her dance before' Jaune thought as he heard the music began.
Ellie Goulding- Burn( No Lyrics, but hey listen to it, it's a good song for Yang)
The music starts as you see Yang rock from side to side. The spotlight glimmering over her long blonde hair as she moves. Yang starts popping as her hands moved rolled from her sides to her chest. She promptly locks her arms as she starts gliding to the front of the stage. The music picks up as Yang picks up her pace doing a Btwist kick showing her athletic side landing perfectly with her back to the crowd.
'Wow' Jaune thought getting to the edge of his seat in anticipation.
Yang does a spin as she faces the crowd with a smile, going back to popping as she follows the beat. Yang falls backwards going into a back handspring as she lands with a crouch. Shortly afterwards she starts doing flares from her spot stopping with a pilot as she keeps a leg in the air. She twists from her position rolling off her back as she goes back to a standing position.
'There are so many things I don't know about her' Jaune thought watching his girlfriend dancing.
Yang did slow motion movements towards the end showing her control over her body as the music started getting closer to the climax. The music picks back up as Yang began to speed up her movements as she starts tutting. She stopped tutting as she does one final flip forward landing perfectly center stage with her fist straight in the air.
The audience jumps to their feet as applause and clapping followed. Jaune stood up with the crowd as he yelled his own praise. Yang did a bow as Miss Goodwitch told the crowd to calm down.
Yang quickly got off the stage as Miss Goodwitch started calling the seniors to the stage for their performance. Jaune's eyes only followed Yang who was replying to her 'friends' who continued to compliment her.
'She's so amazing' Jaune thought as he simply smiled at the sight.
Jaune looked at his scroll that showed a message from Ruby.
/Hey, how are the rehearsals going?/ Ruby texted as Jaune thought about his on stage disaster.
/Not bad/ Jaune replied trying his best to hide his embarrassing moment.
/Good, can't wait to see you rock/ Ruby replied nearly instantaneously after Jaune's message.
'if I don't freeze up again' Jaune thought looking at his scroll with frown.
"What's going on J-Pop" Yang asked jumping on Jaune's shoulder as he jumps up in surprise.
"Ah, Yang it's nothing" Jaune said looking back to his scroll.
/Yeah see you then/ Jaune replied before putting his scroll away as he diverts his attention to Yang.
"Who was that?" Yang asked as Jaune blushed at the closeness of her being.
"It was Ruby, she wanted to know how we were doing" Jaune replied honestly as his eyes drifted away from Yang's.
"hmm" Yang said questioningly, but quickly dismissed as the two paid attention to the rest of the performances that played out.
After the rehearsals, the students were given a couple hours before the actual talent show to relax and get ready if there were any last minute adjustments. Jaune decided to stay in the auditorium with Weiss and Yang to see if he could get over his stage fright.
Weiss was giving Yang a lecture about personal boundaries even as Jaune chuckle at the sight of Yang sitting still listening to her.
"Weren't you holding Neptune's hand yesterday?" Jaune asked catching Weiss off-guard as Yang eyes widened.
"Ha, Hypocrite" Yang said jumping over to Jaune and sticking a tongue out at Weiss.
"That was after school hours" Weiss tried arguing back to Yang who wasn't listening anymore.
"Besides Jaune likes it" Yang said grabbing Jaune's arm again as his nervous chuckle and red face appeared again.
With a sigh and a throw of her hands Weiss gave up. Yang stuck out her tongue at her as Jaune just continued to laugh at their banter.
"Your performance was pretty good" Weiss commented as Jaune was circling around Weiss's piano and all of its perfection.
"uh, yeah" Jaune commented rubbing the back of his neck as he turned back to see Weiss.
"You played Moonlight Sonata really beautifully" Jaune stated as Weiss raised her chin in confidence at the compliment.
"How about your beautiful girlfriend?" Yang asked with an eyebrow raised as Jaune gulped.
"You were amazing, how do you move like that? and those flips and spins?" Jaune questioned and complimented. Weiss noticed Yang was blushing while Jaune continued to compliment her.
"The moves were so precise with the beat it was like the song was made for you?" Jaune said
"How can someone who eat so much move so well?" Jaune asked promptly getting smacked in the head by Yang as Weiss burst out laughing.
"Idiot" Yang said walking away as Jaune got back up from the ground with a bump on his head.
"What did I do?" Jaune asked Weiss who was still laughing at the comment.
The friendly atmosphere became awkward after Yang left. Jaune didn't know if he should leave or not.
'This is weird' Jaune thought lightly touching the piano as he looked over to Weiss.
Weiss was on her scroll trying to pass time like Jaune. He honestly had no idea what to talk about with Weiss. They probably could talk about music, but Jaune knew Weiss didn't play the piano for enjoyment.
"So… How long have you been playing the piano?" Jaune asked trying to strike a conversation.
"Since I was 9" Weiss responded putting away her scroll.
"Oh,okay" Jaune said not knowing what to talk about next.
"How are you feeling?" Weiss asked Jaune who remembered his on stage freeze up.
"Yeah, hehe I'm fine" Jaune answered with a weird laugh and a scratching his face.
"We really have to fix your stage fright" Weiss said surprising Jaune even further.
"We?" Jaune asked as Weiss took out her scroll and showed a wacky picture of Ruby causing the boy to laugh.
"Plus, I may be responsible for how you are…" Weiss said with a pause as Jaune noticed the seriousness in Weiss's words.
Jaune thought about his first year and Weiss's clear refusal, Cardin's picking on him, and every rumor created by mistakes that came after. Every time Weiss bad mouthed him making him look bad to others and all the pain of being alone.
'Would have life been different if Weiss gave me a chance?' Jaune thought as he looked at Weiss who wasn't looking at him.
'Would I be different?' Jaune thought looking at the ceiling as he noticed Yang coming back into the auditorium.
"If it wasn't for everything that happened, I wouldn't be here" Jaune said with a smile as Weiss's eyes met his.
"Is there any way I can make it up to you?" Weiss asked as Jaune's smile got a little wider.
After five minutes of moving the musical equipment around Jaune and Weiss were on stage getting ready to play a song. Most of the other students left to get food or hang out with friends as some stayed to watch Jaune and Weiss perform a song.
"Why do we have to play this song?" Weiss asked holding a page from Jaune's lyric notebook.
"Come on snow angel, I picked this song out for us" Jaune replied with a laugh holding out his guitar pick at her. Yang heard the pun and joined Jaune in the laugh.
"One, don't call me that and two you guys are meant for each other" Weiss stated with a subtle smile as she got behind the piano.
"Remember you only have a small piano piece in the beginning then it's mostly me" Jaune said plugging in the electric guitar.
"Let's hurry up, we have one hour before the talent show and I wish to change" Weiss replied quickly as Jaune nodded in confirmation.
'Okay Jaune, you can do this' Jaune thought looking into the audience at Yang.
"You got this Jaune!" Yang shouted as the other students were distracted by Yang's outburst.
Jaune smiled as he looked over to Weiss with a nod to show he was ready.
Evanescence- Bring Me To Life (Shout out to SunwukongMogar_ () Are Jaune's lines)
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
(All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)
(Don't let me die here)
(There must be something more)
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
The music dies down as the sounds of applause and cheers roared through the auditorium. Jaune looks over to Weiss who simply bowed at the crowd and did his own awkward bow letting the guitar hit the ground slightly. Jaune quickly picked the guitar and put it on its stand.
'I did it!' Jaune thought as he raised his head to see Yang jump on stage and attack him.
"See, I told you" Yang said hugging Jaune as the crowd started taking picture of the closeness of two.
"Thanks, Yang" Jaune said wrapping his arms around Yang hugging back.
The crowd whistled at the sight until the sounds came to a dead silent when a certain blonde haired, green-eyed professor came into the room.
"Um, Yang?" Jaune asked as Weiss rolled her eyes and decided to leave.
"Yeah?" Yang replied getting comfortable in their hug as she didn't notice Miss Goodwitch behind her.
"Miss Xiao Long" Miss Goodwitch spoke clearly as Yang's body froze as Jaune could only give a nervous chuckle.
Omake:
Jaune never liked Valentine's day. It was a constant reminder of being single and never having a girlfriend before, but this chapter is not about him.
"I'm the best, I'm not the best animator, I'm not the best model, I'm not the best at anything.I'm the best at all those things that I do. So the only thing I can say is I'm the best Monty."
RenXNora part 1
Everything in Ren's life was set in stone. Get good grades, work hard at martial arts, either get a good job or become the master of the dojo. Marry some girl, make a family and continue his family name. It all seemed so simple to Ren.
That was until he met her…
Ren was 10 years old when Nora's family moved next door to his. Ren didn't have many friends at school, but he never bothered to get any. He was too busy on his martial arts and school work to make any.
"Ren come down stairs and meet our new neighbors" Ren's father called out as the young boy who was in the dojo.
"Yes, father" Ren replied compliant as he walked into the living room to greet the neighbors.
Ren walks in to see a large ginger man with a large beard towering over a red-haired girl his age that was looking back at him. She was wearing a black and pink shirt with boop spelled out in the middle.
"Nice to meet you" Ren said with a bow in the most formal manner he could.
While Ren was bowing to show his respect, he opened his eyes and saw the red-haired girl lying on the ground looking up to him.
"Name's Nora, Pancake Destroyer" Nora said with a big smile as she looked at Ren's pale pink eyes.
'What?' Ren thought raising from his bowing position as he reaches his hand out to help Nora off the ground.
"Good, can you show Nora around the house?" Ren's mother asked as Nora stood up.
"Yes mother" Ren replied as Nora and him started to walk around the house.
"This is the dojo" Ren said opening the door to the dojo revealing its hard wood floors that Ren cleans every day.
"Oooh, Oooh" Nora exclaimed taking off her shoes as she starts sliding on the floor making streaks and lines.
'This girl!' Ren thought clenching his fists as he looked at the girl who was messing up his floors.
"Come on Ren, It's fun" Nora said sliding to Ren grabbing his arm and dragging him on to the floor.
Ren quickly released her grip from his arm and stared at her turquoise eyes to show his seriousness.
"Nora, this is a place of discipline and training. Please treat it with respect" Ren stated firmly as Nora's wide smile quickly went into a frown.
"I-I'm sorry" Nora said lowering her head looking at the floor.
The two didn't speak again that night as they went back to the living room. Nora's family left as the two families agreed to get together every other week for dinner.
The next week, Nora transferred into Ren's classroom. Ren knew Nora would get along with others since she was bubbly and playful.
Ren didn't mind as it gave him some peace and quiet from Nora's delusions. Nora was an open person to everybody as she emphasizes her love of sloths and pancakes frequently. All the students would laugh at Nora's antics and her crazy stories.
"Then, a flying pancake saucer flew down from space and picked me up" Nora rambled as her friends listened. Ren at this time was taking a normal mid day nap during lunch.
"Oh, yeah. this reminded me of the time me and my friend Ren were attacked by ninjas" Nora said doing karate moves as Ren continued to nap.
School ended as Ren woke up from his nap noticing Nora was already out of the classroom.
"Can she stop talking?" a student said to another as Ren looked around for Nora.
"I don't know man, but its so annoying" the student replies as Ren walked past them out into the hall.
Ren saw Nora there standing by the door listening to students talk about her. Nora wasn't sad or even frowning, she just had her normal smile as she listened. Ren didn't know what to say to her as he saw her stare back at him.
"Let's go Nora" Ren said as he closed the door as hard he could to distract the students in the classroom.
"Alright, Ren" Nora replied walking next to Ren as they left the school.
'Is she alright?' Ren thought looking over at the ginger girl who was still smiling.
"Home is soo far away we need a mode of transportation" Nora said surprising Ren as they started walking home.
"We should totally get a plane, no a boat, no a bike" Nora said as Ren couldn't help but chuckle at Nora's words.
'That's a yes' Ren thought as a small smile came from the stoic boy.
"Maybe we can get a bike" Ren replied as Nora's eyes widen at the sight of Ren as she stopped completely in her tracks and she pointed at the pink-eyed boy.
"You finally smiled" Nora said with a big wide smile of her own.
"Yeah?" Ren asked confused at Nora's statement. Nora now standing triumphantly in place.
"You're always so tense, I thought you weren't having any fun" Nora said as she continued to walk now ahead of Ren.
"You were worried about me?" Ren asked as Nora looked back with a big smile at Ren.
"Of course, we are buddies right?" Nora replied with her hands on the back of her head as they continued to walk.
"Yeah, we are" Ren said as the two walked home together.
The next day at school Nora was bombarded by girls in class.
"Is it true that you walked home with Ren yesterday?" A girl asked as Nora tried to answer every question.
"uh, yeah" Nora replied as the girls started to giggle and chatter.
"Are you and Ren together?" Another girl asked as Ren hid a slight blush from the thought.
"Yeah, we are together" Nora said out loud as the classroom got quiet and Ren froze.
"Oh My Oum!" the girls screamed and cheered as Ren was getting looks from different boys in class.
"How long have you guys been dating?" Another student asked as Nora instantly blushed when she figured out what together meant.
"No, No, No, Me and Ren aren't together-together" Nora said quickly as possible to dismiss any rumors of the two.
Ren and Nora were known as the item that isn't official for as long as they stayed close to each other. That is until Ren got a scholarship into Mistral Private High School.
"What? That's great Renny" Nora exclaimed as Ren's mother read the letter in front of everybody.
"That place has great teachers and a good karate club too" Ren's father said as Ren took the letter from his mother.
"Oh, but he would have to move to Mistral" Ren's mother informed as Ren's face slightly twitched at the thought.
"That's no problem, our boy can take care of himself" Ren's father said as Ren carefully put away the letter.
'What about Nora?' Ren thought looking over to Nora who was fiddling with a puzzle his dad gave her.
"Yeah" Ren said as he left the living room. Nora promptly left and followed Ren.
Ren was in the dojo in his dougi practicing on a practice dummy. Nora sat on the side as she watched her best friend attack the dummy. Nora didn't understand Ren's reason for acting as how he is.
'Shouldn't he be excited' Nora thought as she hugged her knees as she continued to watch Ren.
"Nora" Ren said out of breath as he stops hitting the dummy.
"Yes Renny?" Nora asked slightly anxious to hear what he might say.
"Do you think I should go?" Ren asked as he turned around to look at Nora.
"Yes, Ren it's a great opportunity" Nora said avoiding eye contact with Ren.
"Nora!" Ren yelled angrily.
The silence took over as Ren stared at Nora who was tearing up. Ren walked over to Nora who was still avoiding eye contact with Ren.
"Nora" Ren said again now calmer as he held Nora by each arm to force her to look at him.
"What do you want me to say Ren?!" Nora bursted out brushing off Ren's arms.
"That you shouldn't go, That I want you to stay, That it would be better if you don't go?" Nora exclaimed as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I never want to be your ball and chain" Nora said softly as she looked over to the ground.
"So shine bright and soar Ren" Nora said with a sad smile as she turned and faced the door.
"Nor-" Ren tried to speak, but was interrupted by Nora as she ran out of the house.
Nora ran back into her room. It was filled with sloth plushies and had a pancake novelty blanket that she won at a carnival with Ren.
"Why did you say those things Nora?" Nora said to herself as she paces back and forth in her room.
"Now he is going to feel guilty" Nora said to herself again as she jumps on her bed.
Nora puts a pillow to her mouth and screams into it, then she throws the pillow at the wall.
'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Nora' nora thought as she laid down in her bed.
Nora turns over to the side of her bed where she sees a picture of her and Ren when they were kids. It was the first time Nora trained with Ren at the dojo. They were both wearing Dougis and Nora dyed Ren's hair pink to match his eyes.
'I got sad when he dyed it back, so he left a highlight in for me' Nora reminisced as a smile graced her face.
Nora gave a big sigh as she thought about Ren leaving.
'Who would make me special Rencakes?' Nora thought as she picked up the picture and held it closer to her.
"Who could ever replace Ren?" Nora said out loud surprising herself as she quickly got up from her bed.
"I should study!" Nora said to herself in the mirror as she got to her desk and open her book.
After 5 minutes Nora could barely keep her eyes open as she look at the pages of the book.
'The cell is the basic structural, functional...' Nora read in her head as she started to snooze.
"Pancakes!" Nora exclaimed out loud as she woke up.
'Maybe some music will keep me awake' Nora thought turning on the radio near her desk.
Avril Lavigne- Things I'll Never Say( In and out of the song she sings not all lyrics)
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
(Nora starts blushing at the thought)
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If it ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Guess I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
Throughout the song it started with her at her desk singing along. After 2 minutes into the song we have Nora jumping on her bed singing into her hairbrush. Nora finishes the song holding the picture she has of them as she drifted off to sleep.
Ren couldn't sleep at all that night, he saw his happy-go-lucky best friend break down in front of him. He always knew about her insightful nature when she becomes quiet. It only bothered Ren more that she lied about her true feelings of him possibly leaving.
'Isn't this what you wanted?' Ren thought looking over to his scroll to see it's midnight.
'What do I want?' Ren thought tossing and turning in his bed.
The next morning, Nora wanted to leave as early as possible to avoid Ren. She got up at 6 am knowing Ren would normally would still be asleep at this time to sneak off to school without him.
Nora crept outside the door to see Ren standing outside already dressed waiting for her. Normally she would have to go into Ren's room and drag him out of bed, but for the first time Ren was outside waiting for her.
"Hey Nora" Ren said with a big yawn as he looked at his watch.
"Hey Ren" Nora replied hesitant as she closed her house door.
The two started to walk towards school as they normally would, except it was quiet. The normal outbursts from Nora was not seen and it only made it feel worse for Nora that Ren didn't say anything either.
"You know that school in Mistral that I got invited to?" Ren asked as the two walked side by side.
"Y-Yeah" Nora responded softly as she gripped her pink shirt.
"I decided against it" Ren stated clearly as possible. Nora was still walking, but had a slight smile that overcame her face.
"That's great!" Nora said jumping on Ren's back as they started to stumble forward.
"Nora!" Ren shouted as Nora started to ride on Ren's back. "Let's go!" Nora said pointing forward as Ren gave a hard sigh as he wrapped his arms around Nora's legs and started to walk forward.
"Boop" Nora said touching Ren's nose as Ren was forced to give Nora a piggyback ride all the way to school.

A/N I have maybe one true beta reader/friend who helps me with songs and such. I depend on SunwukongMogar a lot lately and I want to give him the proper respect. Check out his work they are pretty interesting.
