Gah!!!

I am so torn!

I have a decent plan for the story but I feel so bad for that I am about to do to Jaune in the next few chapters!

Please forgive me, my little Arclings if you don't like where this special will go or if you don't like the outcome. I'm not used to this pressure!

I'll just let Jaune prepare for his date.

Hope you like the new chapter little Arclings.

"Fearless leader! It's time to get up! Ren and Pyrrha already left!" I banged on the bathroom door.

Oh, by the way, somehow the floor was covered in sand and cacti were growing. The roof was open too to let the sun in.

Nora here! I wanted a desert themed room. So I got it!"

"We have to get to class!" I said again.

The door slowly creaks open so I reply "Finall-"

What the heckity hecc is this?!

Is his Jaune's attempt at looking cool?!

"Ah, Jaune-Jaune?" I slowed down a little at the sight.

"You wanna ask, what's all this right?" Jaune said "Well, I tried dressing up a bit today. Is it weird?"

Yes.

"It's so bad it should be a crime." I replied in a Renny like manner.

"Eh?" Jaune looks honestly shocked "What's wrong with it?"

"Everything! That popped collar! That insane 2:8 hair part is like Moses parting the Red sea! I'm cringing like hell!" I shouted.

Why is fearless leader doing this?!

"H-have you ever like, well, like-like someone before?"

Of course! Fearless leader is trying to impress someone!

I grab Jaune-Jaune's shoulders.

"JAUNE!!! LET ME HELP!!!" I yelled.

"Ehhhhhh?!" Jaune's eyes turned into swirls.

Ah...I actually came to Vale in order to spend money instead of gain money.

Since I own Gramps alot of money, I go to Vale on weekends to do various odd-jobs.

But, why did Nora force me out of the dorm? On a schoolday no less? Aiya, Proffesor Goodwitch will kill us later!

I was wearing my Pumpkin Pete's hoodie with some Jean's and my usual led trainers...yeah, led. What?

I have to keep training my legs somehow.

"Jaune-Jaune!" I heard Nora's voice from afar as she ran towards me "Were you waiting long?"

Wow, I've only ever seen her in her uniform and combat suit before but, Nora is actually very fasionable!

Maybe she is the Coco of our year, strong hitters who's semblance just make them stronger.

"Well then fearless leader, now that we got all day since we skipped class, how about we go to the hair salon first?" Nora asks "You know any good ones?"

"Oh, yeah actually." I reply.

Yeah, that place should do. I walk in direction of my chosen salon and Nora starts to follow.

"What is the store called?" Nora asks.

"Off-Kai." I said "They offer either normal hair cuts or dyes...or straight up anime hairstyles, I know the guy who own the place."

(Real place!)

"Of course you would know a hair salon like that." Nora smirks "So, if you know the person who's running the place, how was your hairstyle so...well you get the point."

"Right, well I guess you can say I was afraid it would be a waste of money, when we first met, he wasn't too fond of huntsmen either." I open the door to the salon and enter with Nora.

I was about to call for someone before the guy I was talking about showed up.

"Jaune, my lad! What brings you around here?" The man speaks.

"Uh, this is a salon right Luck?" I answer.

"Haha, right right." Luck chuckles, oh and if you want to know, Luck's green hair is natural. Don't know how he makes it work so well though.

"Well, I never actually done this by myself before so how does this work?" I turn to Nora "Also, how much is this gonna cost?"

"Don't worry about it fearless leader!" Nora said "Boss! Give him an under cut with the sides shaved, oh and add a perm! He needs to look ready for the date!"

"A date?" Luck raises an eyebrow "Oh our little Jaune is all grown up! I'll do this one for free. Go get em tiger."

"Seriously?!" I cried out, I honestly wasn't expecting that "Wait, Nora? Will this even work? Pyrrha is a national level huntress, surely she would have seen better looking guys!"

"So you're interested in a huntress. I see." Luck says as he starts to comb my hair.

"Yeah Pyrrha is, why?" Nora asks in my steed "Ah, that's right, not the best experience with huntsmen."

"Well kinda. Although huntsmen keep us safe, we are thankful...but it's like they are in an entire different world from us common folk." Luck says "Ah, please don't turn your head Jaune. Anyway, I used to hate how outward and eccentric some huntmen are. Sometimes they are arrogant and abuse their power. It's no different from Junior's gang in some ways. Ah, no offense though."

"None taken!" Nora smiles.

"Well, that led me to not trust huntsmen, but that all changed when I met Jaune one day. He was travelling to Vale to get a bullhead to Beacon, I was out on a holiday and was attacked by a few grimm on the way back." Luck said.

Oh no! Why that story!?

"And fearless leader smashed their heads in?" Nora asks with stars in her eyes.

"That's what I thought too. However he just picked me up over his shoulder and ran like hell." Luck chuckled "Thing is, it was a baby grimm even I could've taken care of!"

Why did you tell her?!

"Wha?! That's priceless!" Nora starts laughing "But how did that change your view on hunstmen?"

"I guess I found out that huntsmen were more similar with civilians then I thought. People admire huntsmen as heroes who fight back evil, but that image is untouchable in good and bad ways. Meeting Jaune taught me that huntsmen are people too." Luck said.

"I can't get what you mean." Nora scratched her head in frustrated confusion "I thought everyone loved Huntsmen."

"Most, but some of the more older people with experience think otherwise. That goes for most of the people in this shopping district, that is until they met Jaune." Luck explained.

"Wha?" Nora asked, even more confused then before.

"Like how Jaune taught me huntsmen were people. Jaune showed everyone his quirks." Luck explained more "His fear of grimm is the same as us, his anger when things go wrong is the same as us, all of his negative emotions are the same as us. Usual huntsmen hide their emotions after some time, that causes distrust between the people and huntsmen as we cannot understand each other. Jaune is like a civilian with the title of a hunstman. And I guess that makes us closer as a whole."

"Well your not exactly wrong..." I say.

"Yeah, forged documents." Luck dumped the information.

"Don't reveal such information!" I cried out "I get scared just by thinking of the consequences!"

"Well, you are working towards being a huntsman right? So it's all fine." Nora said.

"Don't worry, all the civilians already know anyway, we won't tell since you're so likeable." Luck smiled as he started cutting.

They all knew for the whole time?!

"We did provide you with the documents." Luck said before standing back "So, how is it?"

What does he...oh.

I looked into the mirror, and I look incredible!

"Woah! You look good Jaune-Jaune!" Nora held her thumbs up.

Th-that's me? I look totally different...

"C'mon fearless leader! We're going shopping for clothes next!" Nora says while promptly walking out of the door.

Hey wait, already?!

"Wha?! Wait for me!" I run to the door before stopping and turning "Thanks Luck!"

"Have fun Jaune." Luck waves alongside a amused smile, I then leave.

Nora takes me into downtown, and woah...that's alot of clothing stores.

Nora walks into one of them.

"Let's see, what would look good on him?" Nora searches through varying clothes, she hands me some "To the dressing room! Work those buns boy, get a move on!"

I am forced by Nora to wear various clothes...for hours! She really is the Coco of our year!

But...geez! How much is this gonna cost!

"How much?" Nora says.

...SHE'S ALREADY AT THE FRONT COUNTER!?!

WAIT! I CAN'T AFFORD ALL THIS!

"Hey Nora. I think we should stop. I don't need all this, besides I can't-" I start.

Nora reaches into one of her pockets and gets some...make up I think? It's some sort of powder and rubs it under my eyes.

"There!" Nora declares "I think you're ready now!"

"..." Well, if she is so insistent on helping, I accept your kindness "Thank you, Nora."

"Ehehe!" Nora laughs "Don't mention it fearless leader! But before that! Here!"

Nora hands me two yellow slips.

"Two tickets to watch the new Deemo movie!" Nora says "...Trust me though, you will defilently cry." Nora's smiling face then drops a comically large amount of tears from her eyes.

So she knew all along...was I that obvious? (yes)

"Alright, let's head back to the dorm. Before Pyrrha comes back, practice this on me!" Nora also hands me a...script. From the corner of my eye I can also see a circle mask with Pyrrha's face printed on it, one of her merch.

"Wha?" I said.

We got back into the dorm quickly and I practiced lines all day.

Too be honest...I think I have a chance.
