Hey everyone, to those who read this former apology page before, I decided to switch it out for a short light-hearted fluff moment for Jaune and Emerald instead.

With that cheers and happy reading.


"Hey, Jaune?" Emerald nudged the shoulder of her snoozing brother.

"Yes, Minty?" He drawled.

"I've been thinking." She said while she rested on her back. Her face towards the top of the tent as the moonlight skimmed over it.

"And?" Jaune sat himself up and rubbed his tired eyes.

"Why did you give me a nickname?"

Jaune tilted his head and cupped his chin.

"I don't know. Grandpa Sam told me when something is important to you in some way you should give it a nickname. Even for the people and things you don't like. Remember when I read you the Sora the warrior series? They've got all kinds of nicknames for everything both friend and foe alike. Not to mention the pets."

"So I'm important?" Emerald asked.

"Of course you are Minty! My nickname for you might have stemmed from the color of your hair, but now that I think about it, whenever I see you it's like a breath of fresh air, just like the mint candies I snack on." Jaune grinned.

"Then... Shouldn't I come up with a nickname for you?"

Jaune blinked. He always gave nicknames to those around him but never had anyone bestow one upon him. Then again, Sam and Carla named him many things like 'sweet pea and junior' but they said those nicknames for all the kids in the agricultural district.

"Alright Minty, what's the nickname you got for me?" Jaune positioned himself in front of his new sister, eager to hear what she came up with.

"Um... What about gold nugget?"

Jaune's heart sank at his dorky nickname.

"W-Why Gold Nugget?" Jaune stammered.

"Because your hair shines under the sun," Emerald said with a thin smile.

"But what about the nugget part?"

"Well, your face is kinda round isn't it?" Emerald replied.

"Please think of another name." Jaune pleaded.

"Naw, I think this one is gonna stick Gold Nugget." Emerald giggled with a smirk.

"Alright Mint Ball, whatever you say." Jaune huffed back.

"Hey! You can't change a nickname once you've given it!" Emerald protested.

"Wanna bet?!" Jaune yelled back.

As the two threw a myriad of nicknames at one another, they couldn't hide their wide smiles and laughter as they listed funny names one after another.
