Well guy's, it seems that after I post this chapter I'm gonna have to crack down and start re-watching Vol 3 of RWBY no matter how much it hurts me.

Anyway in this chapter we pretty much have a wrap up for the Grimm Eclipse arc, in the next one I plan to have a mass of dates happen.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy this.

[Chapter 28: Return]

[Haseo's P.O.V.]

"Finally." I sighed just as the bullhead landed, "I'm gonna hate writing more of these reports in the later years."

"Agreed." Ruby pouted flexing her stiff hand.

"At least you two got it done before we landed." Weiss said.

"Yeah, although you had to threaten to take away Ruby's cookies if she didn't write it now." I reminded Weiss.

"How did you know they were in my toolbox?" Ruby cried looking at Weiss.

"Ruby I see you running toward that toolbox several times a day and every time you've passed I've seen cookie crumbs somewhere." Weiss replied.

Ruby groaned at that and hung her head down before standing up and leaving the bullhead.

"Ruby, Haseo." Pi called out, stopping us, we turned around to see Pi holding both Aida and Dr. Merlot by the arms, "I'd like for you two to take Miss Merlot here to Professor Ozpin when you deliver your reports."

"Sure thing professor." Ruby said walking over to Aida and holding out her hand.

Aida looked at Ruby skeptically before looking to her father, who nodded, and in turn carefully took Ruby's hand.

"Ruff" Barked an all too familiar corgi that appeared right next to us.

"ZWEI!" Ruby cheered nearly pulling Aida to the ground as she picked the pooch up, Yang, Weiss and Atoli ended up coming over to coddle the pooch mere moments later. Aida leaned toward Zwei in curiosity, and in turn Zwei barked again before licking Aida face.

Aida was charmed by Zwei in an instant.

"That dog can't be natural." Kuhn said.

"Can't blame the dog for being cute enough to captivate girls." Endrance said.

"Keep that thing away from me." Blake's voice called, we looked around for a minute before looking up and seeing Blake was up in a tree next to us.

"You can get down from there, right?" I asked.

"Yes." Blake said, stealing a glance at the Zwei, who turned his head right on cue to make eye contact.

"Where's Mia?" Endrance asked looking around, only for a shaking of leaves to sound from the tree Blake was in. Endrance looked up to see Mia drop from the tree and land in front of him and she immediately pulled him into a kiss.

I turned around to see Sakubo look toward an annoyed Professor Goodwitch with slight fear.

"Thank you for the reports." Professor Ozpin said, "Although I have to ask why four of you are missing, you reports say there were no casualties."

I looked behind me to see that besides me, Aida, and Ruby, only Weiss and Kuhn were still here, "That would be because Blake and Yang went out on a sudden date, same with Endrance and Mia." I explained.

"I see." Ozpin said, "And I suppose Glynda is fussing over Atoli correct?" Ozpin asked.

"Yep." Kuhn said.

"Very well then, I suppose I can excuse everyone, Team JNPR went out on a pair of date's themselves today." Ozpin said, then he looked toward Aida.

This resulted in Aida gulping in nervousness.

"Miss Aida Merlot." Ozpin said, "You seem to have had a rather unfortunate life haven't you? Going into a coma, waking up in a devastated Mountain Glenn, an encounter with the White Fang, and getting frightened by Ovan."

"Y-yes sir." Aida said a little nervous.

"I can overlook your actions during the mission of these to teams as a misguided sense of self defense, however," Ozpin said looking Aida directly in the eyes, "Due to your father having to spend time in prison that would mean you would have to go to a designated guardian for the time of his imprisonment."

"Where am I going to be living?" Aida asked still a little scared.

"We have a few spare rooms at Beacon that we do not have in use at the time, you can stay in one of them for a time, may I see your scroll?" Ozpin asked holding out his hand, Aida reached into her pocket and handed him said scroll. "Thank you, now we can't allow you to simply stay here as a guest, you will need to earn your keep unlike the students that are here to learn."

"What would you have me do?" Aida asked as Ozpin handed her scroll back.

"We have a board up for part time jobs at the campus store, see what you can find there." Ozpin said, "If you haven't found anything you're good at in a couple of days go see the librarian, she normally accepts part time help from any student, even though she never actually puts an ad on the board."

"T-Thank you sir." Aida said, "And... I'm sorry for what I said to you back on my fathers island."

"Apology accepted miss Merlot." Ozpin said, "Miss Rose, can you show her around Beacon?"

"Sure thing Professor." Ruby chirped grabbing Aida by the arm and dragging her off.

"So Weiss." I said as me and Weiss walked toward our rooms, "Would you like to go get something to eat right about now?"

"Oum yes." Weiss sighed, "Those rations Pi prepared for us tasted horrible, I need to eat some real food right about now."

"Agreed." I said, "My team hasn't eaten since we got in that crate."

"Shall we head to Vale?" Weiss asked.

"Of course, the cafeteria foods almost as bad as those rations." I said.

Yes that was a bit of a short chapter, but I wanted to get something out soon to avoid making some doubter think I'm dropping this story.

Anyway next chapter we will be juggling... 5 dates and some time with Ruby and Aida.

I'll see you all then.
