Heyo! Thrawn here! I gotta ask, am I doing something wrong? Only one person reviewed the chapter from last week. I do like reviews (who doesn't), and I was disappointed by the complete lack of them.

Lot of good things that happened to me last week. Been moved up from Temporary full time to Actual Full Time! That comes with a $2 raise, and my benefits will start in May. Which means I will be able to go to RTX this year!

Anyway, here is the next chapter, and I hope you enjoy!

Beacon Classroom, 10:50 a.m.

BOOM!

The students jumped a little at the sound of thunder. It may be a different world, but Remnant gets the same weather that any other populated Earth-like planet gets. The rain today was something fierce, though.

Fortunately, the thunder managed to wake the students that were sleeping through Professor Port's lecture. The heavyset man continued speaking about his accomplishments while the leader of Team RWBY resumed her doodling. Weiss was about to call her out on it, but then she saw what Ruby was drawing: the weapons that the Mobians would soon wield.

"While I don't approve of your timing," whispered the heiress, "I am glad to see that you aren't doing something completely useless."

"Now, can anyone tell me what the fastest creature in the world is?" asked Professor Port, who could see that he was losing some of his class.

As if on cue, there was a loud whooshing sound, followed by Sonic suddenly appearing through the open door. The elderly teacher was very surprised at this interruption, and half of the class shared the feeling.

"Hey, Sonic!" said a cheerful Ruby, who was relieved that the class was turning out to be more interesting then she had thought.

Sonic faced her, and smiled at the familiar face. "Hey Ruby, 'sup?" asked Sonic.

"Oh, not much. Nice entrance, by the way."

"If a little dramatic…" mumbled Weiss while smoothing out her hair.

"Do all of you creatures have such interesting abilities?" asked Professor Port, who recovered from the sudden appearance of the blue hedgehog.

"Nah, I'm just awesome."

"So what is the fastest creature on your planet, Mr. Sonic?"

"Well, the fastest creature is none other than… me." Sonic pointed at himself.

"Really? How fast can you go?" asked Jaune.

"I'd say about… faster than the speed of sound."

"And do all… hedgehogs on your planet go as fast as you?" asked the professor.

"Only two: me and Shadow. But I'm still considered the fastest, mostly because Shadow doesn't really run, he skates."

All of the students were very impressed. "So does this mean that Sonic is the fastest creature in two worlds?" asked Blake.

"Indeed, Miss Belladonna. But anyway, what brings you to this classroom?" demanded Professor Port.

"Hm? Oh, right. Professor Ozpin wanted me to go to each of the classrooms to deliver a message. Tails has completed the weapons he was building for us, and there may be some explosions in the near future. It will probably be a good idea to stay away from the arena. Don't want anyone getting hurt!"

"Are the weapons that volatile?" asked Yang.

"No, but most of Team Dark is. I really can't see how Rouge puts up with those two…"

"… I see. Well, thank you for the warning. When will this take place?" asked the worried teacher.

"Probably around five. I think you've got time to reinforce the area and put up lots of protection for people who do want to watch. Gotta go!" And with that, Sonic dashed out to warn the other teachers about the revealing of the weapons.

Beacon Cafeteria, 12:30

Everyone at Beacon knew at this point about the special weapons that the Mobians were going to receive later that day. Many people were talking excitedly among themselves. However, there was one person whose thoughts were not on the humanoid animals.

'God… Why can't I just tell her how I feel?'

As the leader of Team JNPR, Jaune Arc was under a lot of pressure to make sure he led his team right. Burdened by the fact that he got into Beacon Academy by faking his transcript certainly did not help. However, the straw that broke the camel's back for him was his confused thoughts over a certain girl on his team.

"So Pyrrha, you said your picture is on a cereal box?"

Some of the Mobians were down in the cafeteria eating lunch with Teams RWBY and JNPR. Silver, Blaze, Amy, Sonic, and Knuckles, to be exact. The others were preparing the arena for the showcasing of the weapons. Some people thought they were paranoid, but Ruby pointed out that the black and red hedgehog practically disintegrated a large robot with little to no visible effort. In the end, the teachers who doubted them were converted after seeing the footage of Shadow using Chaos Blast. In fact, some suggested that they triple reinforce the room.

"That's right, it was pretty neat," Pyrrha answered Blaze, who asked the question.

"Eh, that's pretty cool, but I had a golden statue of myself once, until a certain knucklehead ruined it!" said Sonic, who glared at Knuckles.

"How else was I supposed to get the Master Emerald shard? Besides, isn't your ego big enough already?" countered the red Echidna.

"Come on, boys, enough arguing," admonished Amy.

"So how are the preparations coming for the big reveal?" asked Blake from behind a book.

"Well, I don't know where all that steel came from, but the structure of the arena has been reinforced so much not even Shadow could Chaos Blast it unless he went at it for a few hours. Should be enough to handle the weapons," said Silver. "Who knows, it may also be useful if Eggman attacks."

"If he ever does," murmured Blaze.

Ruby glanced at Jaune, and noticed that he wasn't his usual self today. "What's wrong, Jaune?"

Jaune snapped out of his thoughts. "Wha- oh, nothing."

"Do we need to break Cardin's legs?" Nora reached behind her back, as if to equip Magnhild.

"No, I'm not being bullied again. But… I-I gotta go."

Silver watched Jaune retreat, and then decided to confront him. Unbeknownst to everyone else, he could see that Jaune was staring at Pyrrha.

Hallways

"Hey, Jaune! Wait up!"

The blond turned around at looked down at Silver.

"Hey, man, what's goin on?"

"Oh, I don't know, Silver. I have all these confusing thoughts about… someone."

"Let me guess. You have a crush on Pyrrha?" asked Silver slyly.

"What?! No! She's just my friend!"

Silver gave him a look that said he was not convinced. "… Uh-huh."

Jaune could see he wasn't going to get out of this, so he gave up on trying to lie about his feelings for his warrior teammate. "How obvious was I?"

"Not that obvious, but after spending some time around Amy, I know when someone is lovesick."

"Oh, yeah?" countered Jaune. "I could say the same about you and Blaze!"

Now it was Silver's turn to blush and panic. "Hey, not so loud!"

"All right, all right." They both looked at each other and relaxed a bit. "Let me guess: she is so beautiful that you can't imagine being around anyone else, right?" asked Jaune.

"Yeah… She's been my best friend since we grew up together, but I really want to be… more than just friends." Silver stood there wringing his hands.

"I only met Pyrrha a few months ago, but she helped me get through some difficult times since I started here. She has been helping me become a better fighter, and I really don't see why she would do that. I would like to be more than friends too, but I really don't see how I can lead my team if I am dating one of my teammates."

At that point, the bell rung. "Alright, Silver, please don't mention what I told you to anyone."

"Same to you."

The two went about their separate ways. Of course, their conversation wasn't exactly secret.

"Hm, so the blond likes the redhead, and Future Boy likes Future Kitty?" mused Rouge, who was upside down eavesdropping on the conversation between Jaune and Silver. An evil grin appeared on her face. "It's not often I can play matchmaker!"

And with that, she flew off to parts unknown, ideas already going through her head.

Now, I know that it is pretty obvious that in the show it's Pyrrha who likes Jaune, and not the other way around, but I was thinking that he really likes her, too. Their mutual attraction is just hidden from each other, and one of them is naïve. Heck, maybe both of them are if they can't tell that they like each other. Hope you don't mind my interpretation. As for Silver and Blaze... come on, they would look great together.

I apologize to people who were expecting the custom weapons this chapter, but I had to get this romance subplot rolling. Don't worry, though. Next week will definitely have the weapons. Been getting a lot of help from ParadoxalMindElla1, so here's a shoutout!
