Girls from all of the schools flocked into the arena. For some weird reason every girl that was currently at Beacon for the festival got a scroll message last night telling them to come to the arena an hour after dinner. Most of them were actually curious as to what was going on but of course a few didn't care and just went to their dorms.
Murmuring amongst the crowd began all of them wondering why they were gathering in the arena. However a certain blonde brawler stepped forward and jumped onto the stands getting people's attention. She puts her pinkies in her mouth and whistles very loudly causing complete silence.
"Ladies!" Yang yelled. "As we all know Lovers Day is approaching us very quickly! Guys will be giving us chocolates, flowers and ask us to be their love for the day!"
"I'm not seeing a downside there!" Reese from Mistral said. A couple of other girls laugh.
"Which also means we will get a lot more creepy stares from guys, and more flirt attempts. And let's be honest those get pretty annoying after a while." Most of the girls nodded in agreement.
"Where are you going with this Yang?" Blake asked. Yang gets a big grin on her face.
"I'm saying that Lover's day is mostly for the guys. But I say we girls get some action as well!" the crowd started to murmur in agreement. "However I also think we should do so without the boys knowing so!"
"And how do we plan on doing that?" Weiss asked with her hands on her hips. Yang's grin grew wider as she reached down below the railing and brought up a bag.
"With these!" she tosses the bag down and Weiss walks up and unzips the bag to reveal a bunch of wires connected to small devices. Weiss blushes furiously when she realizes what they are.
"Yang no!" Weiss said.
"Yang yes!" The brawler said holding up four more duffle bags.
"Are those… cameras?" Nebula from team NDGO asked.
"Yes it is my purple haired friend," Yang said. "And you don't have to guess where I plan on planting them."
"But how do you plan on putting it in there?" Dew from NDGO asked. Yang stands up and looks at the girls.
"I can't put it in there, as my girls," she said motioning to her breasts. "Would give me away. We need someone who can pass off as being a guy, isn't shy around guys, and can act like they belong in the room."
"Question," a girl from atlas asked. "What if we're not into guys?" Yang gained a bigger grin.
"You're surrounded by a bunch of girls right now, and you're going to ask that?"
"Point taken!"
"Why are there multiple ones?" May from team BRNZ asked.
"Well if we were willing to take the risk I was thinking of setting them up in some all boy teams." A couple of girls perked up even more to this. "Everyone okay with this? If you aren't that's okay, just don't ruin everyone else's fun by telling a teacher or the guys."
All of the girls nodded their heads.
"All right then," Yang said as she clapped her hands together. "Let's get a-scheming."
Meanwhile, with the Blues:
"You're kidding, right?" Washington said.
"Does this look like the face of someone who is kidding?" Tucker responded.
"We can't exactly see your face dumbass," Church said. Right now Tucker, Caboose, Washington, Church and Carolina were in the dorm room. Tucker barged in and began explaining some holidays in Vale. Apparently, on the same day as their Valentine's Day was a day called Lovers Day.
"Look I discussed it with Ruby," Tucker explained. "After the success of Halloween, and the failure of Christmas, I decided to share some other holidays and learn some of their holidays. Apparently, Valentines is one of the few we have in common."
"Really? What else do we have in common?" Church asked.
"It slips my mind at the moment, but they did finish a somewhat holiday about two weeks ago."
"What holiday was that?" Carolina asked.
"The remembrance of the death of one of the gods." The agents look at each other confused.
"What was the god's name?" Washington asked.
"Oum, but it's passed and everyone's moving on. Anyway, we have 'Lovers Day' tomorrow," Tucker looked at the agents. "Think any of us might get a card or something?"
"Carolina might," Church said. "I notice a bunch of guys stare at her when she has her helmet off."
"I really don't care if they do," Carolina said with a shrug. "Unless they try something, then I 'touch' them in their special spot."
"Bow chicka bow wow." Everyone sans Caboose shot Tucker a glare and he put his hands up defensively.
"Anyway," Washington said. "Carolina, you got a second to talk outside?"
"Yeah, but let's talk at the shooting range, if you don't mind."
"Nah we need to practice anyway. In the meantime Tucker keep Caboose out of trouble."
"No promises," Tucker said as he took out his scroll and hopped on his bed. Carolina and Washington grab their guns.
"Let's go," Carolina said as they exited the dorm.
Down at the shooting range:
A bullseye target pops up and Carolina pulls out her pistol and shoots it two times causing it to go back. Another one pops up only this time in Washington's area and he shots it two times, causing it to go back as well.
"So what was it you wanted to talk about Wash?" Carolina asked as she reloaded her pistol.
"It's about tomorrow," Washington said as another target popped out. He shot it and it popped back in again.
"Oh, are you asking Carolina on a date?" Church teased.
"Shut up Church/Epsilon," Carolina and Washington said in unison. Church chuckles and goes invisible again.
"What about tomorrow?" Carolina asked. Four targets popped out and Carolina shot all four with a bullet each.
"Just for an hour, I want you to go out and remember him," Washington said as he did the same thing when his four targets popped out.
"Wash," Carolina said turning to her friend. "I don't want to make a big deal out of it."
"Honoring a friend isn't making a big deal out of it." A target pops up on both Carolina and Washington's side and slowly inches forward. They both shoot their targets and reload again.
"Then why don't you do it?"
"I wasn't his boyfriend."
"Well I mean…" Washington turns to her and playfully pushes her.
"Shut up," he said. The two share a laugh. Washington then sighs. "I'm serious, Carolina, just think about it. I mean it makes the most sense of you honoring him."
"I know, it just… it gets hard sometimes." Washington places a hand on Carolina's shoulder.
"Of course I know. Hell I'd join you, but like I said, it's only because it's Valentine's Day." Carolina takes a deep breath and sighs.
"I'll think about it." Washington holsters his pistol and begins to walk back to the dorms.
"I know you'll make the right choice," Washington said as he passed her. Carolina looks at her gun and tightens her grip a little. She was glad Washington talked about this with her. With all the stuff that comes with this world, she almost forgot about someone in her own world. She shakes her head and continues to practice her marksmanship.
With Jaune and Pyrrha:
"One more lap Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled as she had her hands on her hips.
"Come on Pyrrha!" Jaune yelled as he waded in the water. "You got out a half hour ago!"
"No buts, oh partner of mine!" Jaune takes an exaggerated sigh and kicks off from the edge of the pol for speed and does one more swim lap in it. Jaune and Pyrrha decided to do swimming for cardio work today. Well, more like Pyrrha strongly suggested it until Jaune finally gave in. Of course beside cardio there were two other reasons for the pool.
One: Pyrrha wanted to see Jaune in just swim trunks. Despite being roommates, Jaune was still shy and often got dressed in the bathroom so she barely ever saw him shirtless. She could tell from his arms that he has gained a bit more muscle but she really wanted to see him shirtless.
Two: She wanted to show Jaune her bikini. She was wearing a two piece red one with a couple of frills on the edges. The motive behind this was to see if Jaune would see her… assets, and get the courage to ask her out on Lover's Day tomorrow. And of course, she got this idea from Yang.
While the first part was a success, the second part wasn't. Jaune might have been sneaking peeks here and there but Pyrrha couldn't tell for sure. Luckily they were the only ones there. Pyrrha received the text as well but since it would interrupt her training with Jaune she decided to not attend. Since most of the girls were at the meeting and none of the boys wanted to swim they got the entire pool to themselves. As Jaune finished his lap he looked up at her.
"Am I done?" he asked. Pyrrha wagged her finger.
"Not quite, back up a little." Jaune looked at her suspiciously but did as he was told. When Jaune was far enough away, Pyrrha took a big leap and put herself in cannonball form. She then surrounded screamed. "CANONBALL!"
She hits the water causing a big splash. Jaune looks at the big splash and his pupils shrink. The big wave of water splashes Jaune, causing him to go under the water. He pops back up to the surface to hear a giggling Pyrrha. He playfully splashes water at her and says "You jerk!"
Pyrrha splashes the water back while giggling and soon her and Jaune were messing around, laughing and splashing each other with water. Eventually when Pyrrha splashed Jaune with water he went underneath the surface and swam towards her he then leaped out of it like a predator that caught its prey and wrapped his arms around her and dragged her down with him. Of course Pyrrha knew this would happen and took a big gulp of air and held her breath as Jaune dragged her down. He release her and they both swim up. Once they reach the surface they begin to laugh again. "You cheater I thought we were having a splash war!" Pyrrha said.
"All's fair in love and war Pyr," Jaune replied. The two laugh again.
"All right, I think it's about time we got out don't you?" Jaune nods his head and they climbed out of the pool.
"This was actually very fun Pyrrha, great suggestion." Jaune said as he sat on the ledge of the pool.
"Well Swimming is great for cardio. And we did swim for an hour so of course it would be good for it." Jaune playfully pushes Pyrrha.
"You mean I'm the one who swam for an hour and you swam for thirty minutes. You then proceeded to judge me on everything I did!"
"That's what a trainer is supposed to do Jaune." The two share a laugh again. Jaune looks at the clock and gets up and stretches.
"All right, well I'm going to the locker room and getting dressed. I need to do something tonight that requires a lot time and effort." Pyrrha mentally groaned. She really just wanted to stay with shirtless Jaune and chat. But she smiled and waved goodbye as he went to the locker room.
With Jaune in the locker room:
Jaune just got done washing the chlorine off of him so he was heading to the locker that had his stuff. As he did though he heard a voice in the corner of the room.
"Dammit," it whispered. He looked over to the corner and saw a guy was on his knees messing with something. The guy had short black hair, a blue t-shirt, and black joggers on. He also had black canvas sneakers.
"Hey are you okay?" Jaune asked the guy. The guy let out a startled yelp and straightened up a little bit. He didn't turn around to look at Jaune but he responded.
"Yep, I'm fine! Totally fine!" the person had a deeper voice than he imagined but shrugged it off.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, thanks anyway though!" Jaune raised an eyebrow as to why he was acting so suspicious but decided to not butt his way into it. After Jaune wne to this locker and got dressed, he waved to the guy working in the corner.
"See you later then, and good luck with whatever you're doing."
"Yep! Thanks!" Jaune exits the locker room and guy watched him leave. When Jaune was gone he lets out a sigh.
"Kathy," a voice over the person's earpiece rang out. "Is everything okay?"
Kathy pressed their earpiece. "Neon, I almost got caught."
"Holy crap!" Neo from team FNKI said. "Are you okay?"
"Did you set up the camera yet?" Yang asked from the background.
"I'm okay and I'm almost done, I just dropped something is all."
"Who'd you almost get caught by?' Yang asked. Kathy continued to workon the camera as she explained.
"Some blonde guy. Slim but toned, kind of cute actually. Had a sweater with armor over it."
"Oh gross!" Yang said. "That's vomit boy don't put that image in my head!" a couple of the girls laugh in the background.
Once Kathy was finished she sighed and got the fuck out of dodge. "All right," She said over her earpiece. "Camera is set up." She could hear a couple of the girls whoop and holler.
"All right," Yang said. "Once Blakey is done setting up the stream we'll be able to spy on the boys all day tomorrow. Happy Lover's Day Girls!" Again more whoops and hollers are heard and Kathy turns off her earpiece, excited for her peeping to come.
The next day, in the Reds Dorm:
Sarge woke up to his scroll alarm. He rubs his face and turns it off. It was 8:00. He reached into his weapon bag and tried to find what he was looking for., he smiles as felt and takes it out. He shakes it up and down a little and then presses the button.
The air horn releases its loud sound causing everyone in the room to wake up in a panic. "Rise and shine dirt bags!"
"Sarge!" Grif said. "It's too early for this!"
"Ah don't worry pumpkin," Sarge said in a very sarcastic voice. "I'll be sure to take that in consideration, when I start giving a damn."
"Sarge, why are we up this early?" Simmons asked.
"Because Glynda said we needed to."
"You're taking orders?" Grif said with sarcasm.
"Of course not! She just heavily suggested it and I agreed with her," Sarge said a little embarrassed.
"Well whatever we do, I say we do it as a team!" Donut said. "After all, its Valentine's Day back on our dimension."
"What does Valentine's Day have to do with us working as a team?" Grif asked.
"Well Valentines was never just about crushes and dates, it was also about friendship as well!" Evryone just stares at Donut. "What?"
"That has to be the gayest thing you have ever said," Simmons said.
"Of all time," Sarge added.
"And that's saying something," Grif concluded. Donut growls.
"You guys are assholes," he said.
"I'm touched," Sarge sarcastically said. "Now get your asses in gear and get on patrol." With a groan, the reds got their armor and weapons, checked to make sure they had everything, and went on patrol.
An hour later:
"Anyone else notice anything… weird?" Sarge asked.
"You mean all of the girls are glued to their scrolls?" Simmons said.
"Isn't that normal?" Donut asked. "I mean teenage girls are always glued to their phones back in our dimension."
"Yeah but… they are really into their scrolls." Simmons looked around to notice they were missing someone. "Where's Grif?" the other two soldiers look to see if they can find their orange armored… uh, comrade anywhere. He was nowhere to be seen.
"AHH!" Sarge yelled. "GRIF YOU LAZY SON OF A BITCH!" he started firing his shotgun wildly in the air causing nearby students to panic and gety as far away from the crazy soldier.
"Sarge, calm down!" Donut said.
"We can shoot him later just calm down!" Simmons added, trying to help. Luckily it did as Sarge was pointing his gun to the ground while taking deep breaths. Simmons went up to Sarge and slowly calmed him down, meanwhile Donut took a look around. He noticed two girl students looking their way. They sighed and one of them took out a scroll. The other girl peeked over the shoulder of her friend as she fiddled with it.
Eventually both of them wide eyed at something and gained smiles, staring intently at the screen. Donut raised an eyebrow to this. Perhaps Simmons and Sarge were onto something. It was as if they couldn't wait to get back to their scroll screen.
"Hmm," Donut hummed. "Well, I'm sure we'll know eventually."
Meanwhile, in the JNPR Dormroom:
Jaune ran his left hand through his hair as he continued to write on the paper with his right. He stayed up until midnight last night to write and he still wasn't done with it. he spent the past hour and a half working on it as well. However he felt it was necessary for him to finish this. The end game, to him, would totally be worth it.
"Jaune," his red haired partner said. "Are you sure you don't want something to eat? You haven't had breakfast, you haven't showered, ever since you woke up you have been working and writing." While Jaune continued writing at his desk, Pyrhha was cleaning her shield and sword/javelin/gun. Meanwhile Ren was meditating on his bed while Nora was jamming out on her headphones. To Pyrrha's surprise, Jaune let out a tiny chuckle.
"Pyr, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were stalking me," Jaune joked. Despite it being a joke Pyrrha went red in the face at the comment. Mainly because it was partially true, she was watching Jaune. Of course it was only because he was overworking himself! "Anyway, don't worry, I'm almost done. Just have to finish these last few lines, and then I can move onto the final stage."
"What is the final stage Jaune?" Nora asked as she took off one side of the headphones. However Jaune continued writing and ignoring her. This made Nora pout. "My leader is ignoring me! I want attention!"
Ren sighed and got off his bed and went over to his hammer wielding friend. The orange haired girl looked over to her best friend and saw him gain a small smile as he raised a finger. He then touched her nose. "Boop," Ren said in his monotone voice.
A second passes by, and then Nora squeals and pulls Ren into a bear hug. "RENNY!" she yelled. "You've never booped me before I'm so happy!"
"Nora! Lungs… being… crushed!" Ren breathed out. Meanwhile Pyrrha was letting out a small 'aww'.
"And done," Jaune said as he wiped sweat from his forehead. He picked up the piece of paper, folded it in half and put it in an envelope and then wrote on it.
"So who is the letter for Jaune?" Pyrrha asked. Jaune waved his finger a little at her.
"I have to have some secrets now don't I?" Pyrrha sighs, knowing she be able to know what he is doing. She noticed he pulled out a drawer from his desk and pulled a big pile of other envelopes. She wanted to ask but she already knew the answer he would give her. he got a bag and stuffed most of the envelopes in it except for four. "All right everyone, I'm heading out, don't destroy anything while I'm gone."
"No promises!" Nora said as she continued to hug Ren.
"No! Help!" Ren gasped with his probably punctured lung.
"All right Nora, don't break Ren!" Pyrrha intervened.
In team RWBY's Dorm:
"Oh man look at those abs!" Yang commented. "It's like they were chiseled by marble!"
"I want to look away," Blake said with slight drool escaping her lips. "But I don't think I can."
"This is absurd," Weiss said, a hint of blood running down her nose.
"Say that when you aren't red in the face," Yang said. "Not to mention the fact that you aren't looking away either and that you have a little bit of blood from your nose." Weiss put a hand to her nose and looked at the tiny smear of red in her hand and gasped. She then grabbed a tissue and tried to clean herself up.
The peeping cameras were a success. Now every locker room or bathroom with guys in it has a camera in it if any of the girls are feeling… indecent. Right now team RWBY minus their leader was watching a couple of guys undress in a locker room as they got their workout clothes or armor on.
All of a sudden there was a knock on their door. Blake and Weiss go wide eyed and panic a little bit. "What do we do?" Weiss asked.
"Did we get caught? We should run!" Blake suggested. As the two panicked Yang calmed them down.
"Girls girls, relax," the blonde said. "We don't know if they know yet. For now just act like nothing is happening. I'll answer."
The two nod their heads and Yang takes a deep breath. The door was again knocked on and Yang goes to answer it as Blake and Weiss try to look normal.
Yang opens the door to reveal the blonde boy that lives across from them. "'Sup Vomit Boy?" Yang greeted. Jaune sighs.
"Can you not call me that?" He said slightly embarrassed.
"You got it Blonde Barfer." Yang grinned at her friendly insult while Jaune just sighed.
"I guess I walked into that one," he mumbled. "Anyway, is all of team RWBY in here?" Yang points a thumb back into the room.
"All of us except for my sister."
Jaune nodded. "Guess I'll just find her some other time. Anyway, I wanted to give you guys these." He handed Yang three envelopes, all with Yang's, Blake's, and Weiss's names on them. Yang saw this and found a moment for sweet sweet teasing.
"Ooo~, giving a team of girls notes on Lover's day. Asking us all on a date Lady Killer?"
Jaune gets a small blush. "One, can you not call me names?"
"Nope," Yang interrupted.
"Darn you and Ruby with your nopes. Anyway, two: you girls aren't the only ones." Jaune showed Yang his bag and opened it to reveal a bunch of other envelopes. Of course this was adding more fuel to Yang's teasing. She does a tiny pout.
"Aww, we're not special?" Jaune's face grew a little redder.
"Okay I'm just going to go so I don't keep giving you ideas." Jaune took a step back and Yang giggled.
"All right, see ya Jaune," Yang said with a wink. Jaune nods goodbye and Yang closes the door. Weiss and Blake looked at Yang as she held up the envelopes in her hand.
"Jaune gave us notes?" Blake asked.
Yang shrugged. "Apparently." Blake looked at the envelopes with a strong curiosity. Meanwhile Weiss just scoff. This didn't go unnoticed by her friends.
"Come on Weiss, don't be like that," Blake said.
"Yeah I mean he did take the time to give it to us, and we barely interacted with the guy."
Weiss just sighs. "Fine, hand it here," She said sticking out her hand. Yang hands Weiss her envelope and Blake hers. However, Weiss does probably one of the bitchiest things she has ever done.
Weiss took the envelope in both hands. She then ripped into two pieces and let it drop to the ground. She then just did a tiny shrug. "Oops," she said in mock innocence. Meanwhile her friends just stared at her in disbelief.
"That was a little cruel don't you think?" Yang said. Weiss just scoffs again and goes back to staring at boys. Yang rolls her eyes and opens up her envelope. Blake did the same for hers and they both read their own notes.
"Huh, not bad Vomit Boy," Yang said as she looked over her note.
"What's yours say?" Blake asked. Yang walks over to her feline friend and shows her. Blake begins reading the note.
"To Yang Xiao Long,
I know we may have not talked much, but I want to thank you for being kind to me whenever we do, despite all the teasing. Not only are you beautiful, you are strong, stubborn and all around a badass fighter. Stay fierce, Blonde Dragon."
Jaune signed his name below and there was a detailed drawing of a dragon with that was radiating a yellow glow.
"Guy knows how to make a girl blush when he isn't trying to be all bravado," Yang said.
"Yeah, look at mine," Blake said as she showed Yang hers.
"To Blake
You may be quiet like Ren, but I can see a fire in your eyes. You are a nimble fighter and I would rather be an ally than an enemy to you. Even though I know of your secret, I will never tell anyone. Stay strong, Kitty cat."
Jaune signed his name but this time there was a detailed drawing of a cat with gambol shroud attached to its back. Normally Blake would be offended by that, but for some reason when it was coming from Jaune it was more like a playful insult instead of a real one.
"You going to rip his nuts out for saying the c-word?" Yang asked. Blake smiled and shook her head.
"Nah, he gets a free pass… this time." They both put their notes away, being in slightly happier mood, they continue to peep in on the boys.
With Jaune:
After Jaune gave his notes to three members of team Ruby, he decided to go to the next group of people he could think of. Hopefully none of them would be in the hospital… or try to kill him for knocking on their door.
When Jaune finally reached the room, he just heard Washington and Caboose doing something.
"Quit cheating Wash!" Caboose yelled.
"Hey it isn't cheating, it's strategic planning," Washington said.
Jaune chuckles a little and knocks on the door. He hears a little bit of shuffling behind the door and thren hears something being slid across the room.
"Oh now look who's cheating," Washington said. Caboose just chuckles and Washington opens the door. Jaune was surprised to see he wasn't in his armor. "Hello Jaune, how can we help you?"
"Hey Wash, what are you and Caboose doing?" Jaune asked. Washington chjukckles and points to a tv screen Jaune could see. He saw the cobat game he played with Ruby a couple of times was omnn the screen with a character beating another character doing anything.
"We're just relaxing in our room and playing some games," Washington answered.
"And I am winning!" Caboose said. Both Washington and Jaune chuckle.
"Anyway," Jaune said taking out a bunch of envelopes. "I don't want to go around the school chasing you guys, so could you give these to the Reds and Blues." Jaune handed Washington the envelopes with all of the soldiers' names written on them. Washington looks at them and nods at Jaune.
"Sure thing Jaune," Washington said. jaune noded and waved.
"All right I got to get the rest of these delivered, I'll talk to you guys later." With that, Jaune said goodbye and walked away. Washington waved goodbye and closed the door. He looked all of the envelopes until he found his and Caboose's.
He takes his knife as Caboose continued to beat Washington's AFK player and Wash cut open the envelope. He takes out the piece of paper that was inside and reads it.
"Dear Washington,
I want to thank you for helping me in class. You being the mature one in your group, along with Carolina, definetly made it easier for us to trust you guys. And from your skills, your fights, I inspire to fight like you and I thank you for helping me whenever I asked for help. Keep fighting."
Jaune signed his name and had a detailed picture of a hand gripping a combat knife. Washington gained a little smile. He was affecting the kids, and in a good way too. He puts the paper back in the envelope, and puts the envelope in a drawer.
"Hey Caboose," Washington said. "Want to hear the card Jaune gave you?"
Caboose let out a happy gasp. "I got a card from a friend?" Washington nods and Caboose pops up. "Yes please yes please yes please yes please!" Washington chuckles and opens Caboose's letter. He then begins to read it aloud.
"Dear Caboose,
You are a joy to be around. From some of the funny stuff you say to just the way you act, you never fail to put a smile on my face. Not to mention your ferocity in battle is something to admire. I would be happy to call you a friend and an ally."
This time next to Jaune's signature was Caboose's helmet. Caboose points at it and smiles. "Look it's me!" he said. Washington chuckles.
"Yeah it is," he puts the paper and envelope in his drawer again and slaps Caboose on the back. "Come on, let's how well you do when I'm actually playing."
With Ruby:
Ruby was in the targeting range for most of the morning. Her team decided to stay in their dorm for most of the day. Ruby would have joined them but they were very persistent on her leaving the dorm for the day. Not that she didn't mind firing her precious Crescent Rose, but she was starting to get bored and a little lonely. Luckily she wasn't going to be for long.
As she shot down another target, she heard an approved whistle. She turns and sees her best friend of her sister team Jaune with a bag. "Nice shooting Rubes," he said.
"Hey Jaune," Ruby said waving. She fired at another dummy and then holstered her weapon. She walks over to Jaune. "So what have I done to deserve a visit from my best guy friend?"
Jaune waves an envelope in her face and she gets a small smile. "You got me a card?" she said in an adorable voice. Jaune chuckles.
"What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't?" Ruby smiles and reaches into her pocket… at least Jaune hoped there was a pocket somewhere in her skirt.
"Well, a bad one as I got you a card as well!" Ruby pulled out an envelope and Jaune's smile grew.
"Trade on three?" Jaune asked. Ruby nodded. "Okay, one."
"Two," they both said at the same time. "Three." They hand each other their cards and opened them. Ruby read hers.
"Dear Ruby,
Thank you for not seeing me as a loser. I will admit, I was worried when we weren't on the same team, but your pep talk that one night really made me think. I am happy that you helped me, and I am happy that helped you on some cases. I guess… I'm just happy to be your friend."
Next to Jaune's signature was a rose, with Crescent Rose in scythe form behind it. Jaune then read his letter.
"Dear Jaune,
Thank you for being my first friend at Beacon. Thank you for not seeing me as a child as some of the others did. Thank you for helping me study for certain things, and for just being a fun guy to hang around. Thank you for being a friend."
Ruby then wrote a tiny heart and put her signature at the bottom of the card. Both smiled at their cards. Ruby broke the silence as they got done reading. "Now I'm upset," Ruby said.
"Why?" Jaune asked.
"Well I didn't put a cool picture next to my signature like you did." She puffed out her cheeks in an adorable way that made Jaune laugh.
"I still love it Ruby." This made Ruby smile and pull Jaune into a hug. Needless to say he wasn't prepared for this. "Oh! Okay!" he said surprised. He returned the hug. It only lasted for a second before they both pulled away.
"And I love your card Jaune, I had no idea you could draw!" Jaune chuckles and scratches the back of his head.
"Yeah, just another thing mysterious about the mysterious Jaune Arc." Ruby lets out a giggle. "Anyway, I'm almost done delivering all of these, I'll see you around Ruby."
"Bye Jaune!" With that they both waved goodbye and continued their own thing.
With Tucker, a few hours later:
Right now it was six at night. So far Tucker's been trying to flirt with every female teacher he could fine, see if he could get a date. Most either responded with a slap in the face, or in about three cases, kneed in the nuts. Glynda Goodwitch was one of the three cases.
So, in order to get some of his masculinity back, Tucker decided it was time to hit the gym. That and Washington was close to kicking his ass about working out.
He went to the locker room and found the locker that was assigned to him. He used his scroll to open the locker and began stripping. First he removed his armor, which would show off his skinsuit, which clung tightly to his body.
He then removed the skinsuit. It was always so hard to get off as it clung to the skin very tightly, hence the name. Once he removed it, he was wearing only black briefs. With the skin suit off he felt free and stretched a little bit. He then reached into his locker to grab some pants when he noticed a familiar student walk into the locker room.
"Hey Jaune," Tucker said as he grabbed a shirt. The blonde went to his locker but looked at Tucker.,
"Oh hey Tucker, I didn't expect to see you here," Jaune said. He opened his locker. "I was actually expecting to see you flirt with Professor Peach or someone like her." Tucker scoffs.
"Yeah, well, they couldn't handle all of this." He motioned to himself which caused Jaune to roll his eyes. As he turned to show off Tucker noticed a slight glint in the corner of the locker room. He thought it was just his eyes playing tricks on him and decided to not do anything about it.
"Let me guess, they all shot you down?" Jaune said as he removed his hoodie and armor. Jaune wasn't wearing an undershirt so all that showed was his slim yet toned physique. However Jaune noticed a tattoo on Tucker's right peck. In cursive is the name "Junior" with the same color of his armor. Jaune points at it and asks a question. "Who's Junior?"
Tucker looked at his tattoo and chuckled. "My son," Tucker said. "I miss him, but he can take care of himself. And to answer your other question, I got touched in some places a few times. Bow chika bow wow." Tucker was putting on athletic shorts as he said that. Jaune scoffs again.
"You got kicked in the dick didn't you?" Jaune chuckled at his little rhyme as he put on athletic shorts.
"Hey, family friendly in front of a professor."
"You're not really a professor though."
"Touché," Tucker said as he closed his locker. He was all dressed up for the gym. He looked at Jaune again and noticed the glare in the corner again. He just thought his eyes we replaying tricks on him.
"Hey Tucker, mind if I join you for your workout?" Jaune said as he put on black jogging pants.
Tucker looked at Jaune with a 'meh' face. "I don't know," he said. "I don't think I need help with anything." Tucker was just joking around and luckily Jaune picked up on it.
"From your fights, I think you'll need a partner with everything."
"And he strikes back!" Tucker said. "All right, hurry up and I'll meet you in the weight room." Jaune and Tucker nodded to each other and once Jaune got the rest of his stuff, they head upstairs to the weight room.
With Yang, five minutes earlier:
Yang decided to roam around the campus to see how the girls were enjoying her handiwork. Seeing all the girls glued to their scrolls, staring at all the naked and half naked boys put a smile on her face.
Yang was noticing a group of girls crowding over a scroll and she decided to do a little teasing. "Hello girls," Yang said. The group looked at Yang and said hi. The group consisted of a bunch of girls from the others schools. Yang recognized a few. She recognized the purple haired leader from NDGO,along with the blonde of the team, the blue haired skater chick from team ABRN, a brown skin female who looked like she went to atlas (Ciel) and a couple of others. "So, who are you all peeping on?"
"Tucker," one of the girls said. There was a beat, and then Yang pushed to see the screen too.
"Move let me see!" she said as she tried to look at the scroll. Eventually they all made space for her and they all began to peep.
Tucker just removed his skinsuit and put it in the locker, showing off his brown skin and muscular build. They see him stretch a little causing some of the girls to swoon a little.
"I… I need to use the uh… bathroom," the brown skin Atlas girl said with a little bit of uncomfortableness. She then left the other girls alone as she did her… uh… business… in the bathroom.
The other girls shrug it off and continued to peep. That's when they noticed another guy entered the lockeroom with Tucker. In fact he just removed his armor and sweatshirt, to reveal a very toned back.
"Hmm, he isn't that bad looking," Nebula from NDGO said.
"He's a little slim but I wouldn't mind cuddling with him," a wolf girl said.
"I just want to spend hours stroking my fingers through those wavy blonde locks," Reese said.
"Wait," Yang thought. "Slim but toned, blonde, hoodie and armor?" when the other guy turned to face his locker, Yang saw the side of his face and realized it was Jaune. She immedietly went red in the face. Not because she hated the view, in fact Carolina and Pyrrha's training made him a bit more muscled, but Pyrrha silently called dibs on him. Every saw it. "Well, I can look at the menu, I just can't order anything." Yang gets a small smile and continued peeping with the other girls.
However, something scares them. For a split second, they thought they saw Tucker look at the camera. At that moment, ever one of their hearts stopped. However he just looked away and all of them relaxed. Eventually Jaune got dressed again causing the little peep show to end. All of the girls groan and then continue on with their day.
With Carolina in Vale:
Carolina was out of her armor, in Junior's bar, drinking. She also told Epsilon to shut down for the rest of the night. When she first got there, she didn't make an entrance like Yang did both times. She just entered the club and sat down at the bar. Of course, Junior and his goons saw her and a couple of them pulled their weapons out and pointed at her. However Junior calmed them all down and asked why she was there.
After Carolina said she just wanted a drink Junior saw that she was being serious and not threatening or destroying his club, he decided to get her one.
"What do you want girly?' Junior asked.
"Just a rum and coke," Carolina said. And with that, Junior got her her drink. As he handed her the simple drink and she tok a drink from it, he asked a question.
"So, if you don't mind me asking," he started. "Why are you spending Lover's day alone?" At first Carolina didn't answer, but she did sigh. Junior put his hands up. "Look, you payed for your drink and you don't want to talk, I respect my customers' privacy." Carolina chuckled.
"Thanks," She said. "But I'm alone because I'm mourning a… close friend." Junior raised an eyebrow at this and noticed Carolina was rubbing her arm. He noticed the tattoo of a graveyard with "York" and a heart on it and he just let out a soft chuckle.
"Well, whoever York was, I pity," Junior said Carolina glared at him and looked like she was about to rip his throat out until he said his next part. "Because you obviously wore the pants in the relationship." This caused Carolina to freeze for a second, and then let out a chuckle as she sat back down.
"You're not so bad Junior," She said. he just shrugged and continued his business. So for the next half an hour Carolina continued drinking in honor of York. That was until some douchebag who had a suit and tie on tried to get flirty with her.
"So," he started. "What's a cute red head like you doing around here?"
"Minding my own business," Carolina responded.
"Aw, come on don't be like that." The guy put a hand on her shoulder. "Why don't I buy you another drink?"
"How about you take your hand off, before I break it." The guy removed his hand but scoffed at her.
"Whatever Bitch, be that way." Carolina was about to pin the guy and threaten his genitals with her knife but luckily, one of Junior's guards slammed him to the ground. "AH what the hell?!"
Junior peered over the counter and looked at the guy. "I don't like it when people bug my customers."
"What? Come on man it was just harmless flirting!"
"And you continued to push when she obviously didn't have any interest. Get him out of my sight."
With a snap of his fingers Juniors guards took the flirter and dragged him outside. Carolina smiled and dug out a big wad of lien.
"Thanks Junior," she said as she left a twenty lien tip along with the paycheck of her drinks. She got her drinks, so now she went to the warthog and drove to the park. It was night out and she saw a bunch of couples either holding hands or making out. Even as she parked and walked in the park. But there she was, the lonely one on Valentine's Day.
She sat down at a bench and looked at her surroundings. She had to admit, despite most of the grey city being very generic, the park was beautiful. A bunch of flowers were blooming, a couple of fireflys were flickering, and it just seemed peaceful.
"Beautiful night huh?" The familiar voice of a blonde with one eye she knew rang out. She chuckles.
"I swear if you continue with the 'But not as beautiful as you' line," she started. "I'm going to hurt you."
"Well you're really tying my hands behind my back here Carolina." The two laugh and sit in silence for thirty seconds. "So, new dimension huh?"
"It grows on you, but I still miss our dimension."
"Of course, after all everyone misses home." Carolina nods her head. She then takes a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, York." The blonde looked at her.
"For what?"
"For not trusting you." York waves his hand to the side.
"Eh, it's in the past."
"I know, but if I trusted you and didn't focus on being right all the time you…"She couldn't finish her sentence. So she started a new one. "You guys were family, and I destroyed it."
"Hey, you didn't destroy anything. The Director did."
"The Director…" Carolina repeated. "Dad. When I found him, I was expecting him to laugh in my face. To say and taunt how he was right. But when I looked in his eyes, I saw nothing but a broken man. But that broken man destroyed the family he created, just to save an old family member… I just… I just miss all of my family." There is silent for a good minute, and then York speaks again.
"But still have another family Carolina. The reds and Blues. Sure they have their quirks but, I know you will protect them as you did with me, Wash, North, South, Maine, everyone. And besides, you have a couple of kids to take care of now too."
"Who, Caboose?" Carolina said with a slight chuckle.
"Him, and the students at Beacon." Carolina looks at her feet. "I know you care about them. About all of them. You'll protect them. I know you will." York places a hand on Carolina's shoulder but she doesn't feel anything. Just the tears running down her face. "I love you Carolina." With that, York disappears and Carolina smiles.
"I love you too York, and I miss you every day."
With Tucker and Jaune, after their workout:
The two workout buddies returned to the locker room at about eight. Both of them were tired and sweaty from their workout.
"You're a lot stronger than you look Jaune," Tucker said.
"Well I cause all of my training is paying off then huh?" Jaune said as he scratched the back of his head. The two share a chuckle and then go to their lockers. However, as Tucker opened his locker, he looked in the corner one more time and noticed the glint again. Now he knew for certain what it was. Tucker quickly grabbed his armor and skin suit and put it on. He then went to Jaune's Locker and blocked the camera's view of him.
"What's wrong Tucker?" Jaune asked as he removed his workout shirt.
"Jaune, don't freak out what I'm about to say next okay?"
"O…kay?" Jaune looked at Tucker suspiciously.
"I don't mind but I think you and there guys do." Jaune nodded his head. "There's a hidden camera in the corner over there." Jaune's eyes widen in surprise but that was about it. "Relax I know you're a little self-conscious about yourself so I'm blocking off the view. Just get dressed and get out of here, I'll deal with the camera later."
Jaune nods his head and continues to get dressed. Once he is he quickly leaves the bathroom and Tucker right behind him. If the girls wanted a show that was fine by him. They were getting a show.
Thirty minutes later, With Yang Weiss and Blake:
Ruby hasn't returned yet but Yang spent some time with her after checking out Tucker and Jaune so she wouldn't be so lonely. Yang then returned to the dorm to find Blake and Weiss staring very intently at their screens.
"So who are you girls staring at now?" Yang said with her grin. They didn't even bother answering. So of course this made Yang curious. "Hello, Remnant to team RWBY?" Again no answer. Yang actually got curious and opened up her own scroll and opened up the peep camera. And what she saw almost made her feint.
Every single one of the soldiers, except for Carolina and Grif, was in the locker room, in their underwear. All they were doing was just sitting in the locker room talking with each other. So that made Yang look at every single one of them.
Tucker looked pretty much like the last time she saw him. Caboose was the one with the most muscles in the group which was surprising as he didn't seem the type to have the body of a bodybuilder. Washington had his fair share of muscles but he also seemed to have a lot of knife scars all over his body. To Yang it just made him look that much more attractive.
Donut had a slim build as did Doc, compared to the others they looked average. Sarge was ripped despite being of older age and looked really good. Simmons, had a bunch of metal parts sticking to his skin but he still showed off quite a bit of skin.
No matter how hard they tried the girls couldn't pry their eyes away from the screen. Not that they wanted to but still. However there was something that made all of them jump. At first it looked like the Soldiers were talking. And then all of them looked at the camera at the same time. They all stared for a few seconds and Yang could feel her heart fall into her stomach.
Washington gets up and walks over to the camera and pulls out his scroll and types something on it and shows it to the camera.
"Enjoyed the view everyone? I hope you did, because you have ten minutes to destroy any Cameras left on campus. If you do not, I will let all of the head masters know of your little… peeping."
Washington held up the scroll for fifteen seconds. He then moved it away from the screen, waved and then punched the camera causing it to be destroyed. The girls all look at each other for a second. Then they all scramble out of the room and try to find every single peeping camera they could find and destroy it.
Meanwhile in the JNPR room:
Jaune heard team RWBY burst through their door and begin running away so he knew that Tucker put his plan into action. So now it was Jaune's time to put his final plan into action.
"Hey guys," Jaune said turning to his team. They all stop what they were doing and look at him. "So as you all know I was writing a lot in the past two days and I handed out a nunch of letters today."
"Yeah, we did," Nora said. "Why didn't we get any?!"
"Nora!" Ren said. "I'm sure Jaune has his reasons." Jaune nodded his head.
"Because my team doesn't deserve to hear compliments on a piece of paper. They deserve to hear it from me." JNPR look at each other and they all gain smiles. They all grabs chairs and sit around Jaune waiting for him to start.
"Okay, Ren." The raven haired boy nodded. "We may not know a lot about each other. We may not even talk that much. But when we help each other with studying, or I join you with meditating, I always have a sense of calm with you. I'm proud to have you as a friend and ally."
Ren gained a smile. "And I'm happy to have you as a leader," He said. Jaune chuckles and turns to their grenadier.
"Nora," The pink clothed girl hopped up and down in her chair excitedly. "You always find the bright side of things and are always hyperactive and fun. You are also as deadly as you are hyper. No matter what I will always find a way to smile around you." Nora gained a big smile and gave Jaune a big hug.
"Thank you Jauney!" Nora said.
"Please don't break our leader," Ren said prying the hammer girl away from Jaune. Nora salutes and Jaune turns to the last person. The one he really wanted to say thank you to.
"Pyrrha," The Mistralian champion nodded. "You are my best friend and partner. You sacrifice so much for me, and I wish I could return the favor. Yet you still respect me, you still train me, you still do everything you can to help me. I could not ask for a better partner or friend."
Pyrrha smiles and stands up and walks over to Jaune. She then pulls him into a hug. It wasn't a bear hug like Nora gave him. It was a lot like Ruby's, only it lasted a lot longer. "Jaune, seeing you advance every day is more than enough for you to return the favor."
Jaune smiles and returns Pyrrha's hug. They stay there a lot longer and then break apart. They smile at each other. Jaune then looks at the time. "All right everyone, let's hit the hay so we can get up in the morning."
Aside from a few groans Nora, everyone agreed and got into their beds. There was one thing they could all agree on. It was an eventful Lover's Day in Remnant.
Valentines special over.
A/N Hey guys! Hope you all enjoyed the super lkong chapter. However, with this chapter comes horrible news. As of right now, this story is on Hiatus. I know I said I enjoyed writing this story and I still do, but I don't want to be pressured and force chapters out, kind of like the last one. My Grades are slipping, I have Drumline taking up most of my time along with school, and I am focusing too much on trying to get chapters out than focusing on my homework. So, for the next month or so, I will not be posting any chapters for this story.
Man I suck at making specials, they always end on a sad note. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed and I hope you find another story to get your fill in while I am on hiatus.
