Airport

Jaune made it to the airport. Thankfully he found a cab in time. He made his way to the security and once done, he walked to his sister's personal jet. He was met with a rather weird moment. His sister was outside with her arms crossed. With red eyes of lack of sleep and Max wasn't doing any better. "Hey guys!" He said in a cheerful way. But he was met by a slap from his sister and then pulled into a hug. "Where were you?" she barely said between fighting her rage and calm voice. "I stayed at a hotel, why?" Max then pulled out a scroll. That was cracked "Is that my scroll?", "Yes, two officers called your sister last night. When they found your scroll on the sidewalk. Where they found the criminal they've been looking for". "Cardin?" Max got confused "No Danny Dex, he's wanted for countless muggings, murders". Jaune got this confused expression "But what the officers were more concerned was how they found him" when he said that. Amethyst tighten her grip "He was barley breathing, but they couldn't find who left him like that".

"Jaune?" He looked down to see Amethyst's eyes. "Did you-" Jaune didn't want to hear it. So he gently pushed his sister away "Let's go, we have five hours to get back home". He tried to pass his sister "It's happening again, isn't it?". Jaune sighs and just keeps walking to enter the jet. Max just looked at Jaune ignoring his sister. So he moved towards his fiancé "We should get a move on". Once they got on the air, Jaune took a seat by himself. He kept looking outside through his window. He kept replying last night. He closed his eyes for a bit.

Flash Back

Jaune could be seen inside a store with Leo. Who was looking for some chips, but for the life of him, he couldn't chose. "So, how's the relationship going?" He asked without even turning to him. "Good I guess" he answered with a emotionless voice. It's been two weeks since Ashley asked him out. They've been dating, and since they're official. He joined her band, lead guitarist and lyricist. "What kind of answer is that" said while finally picking one. He grabbed the bag and took it to the front counter. Jaune followed him "Hey Leo" said the store owner. He turned to see Jaune "Hello Johnny, how's the family?", "They're fine, how's your daughter?". "She's doing great, she volunteered to teach lessons to children who want to join the choirs" he chuckled the last part. "She still thinks that angels are real" Leo asked. "Yea" he finally scanned the chips and Leo paid for them. "She still tells people that she was saved by one, five years ago" Leo grabbed the chips.

Jaune remained silent, looking at the ground. "Hey Johnny, why don't you join the choirs. They could use a guitarist", "No" he said. Jaune just walked away, not paying them no mind. He was walking down the street "Bro!". Jaune turned behind and saw the twins running towards him. "Jamie, Jane" he said while waiting for them to tackle him with a hug. But they didn't, now that they were closer. He saw panic in their eyes "What's wrong?". "Saphron is in trouble!" Jamie shouted while pulling on Jaune's jacket. Saphron was outside a drug store with a man who was dressed rugged. He was carrying a revolver in his holster. He was pulling her towards his parked car. "Let me go!" She shouted while trying to break free from his grip. "Shut up and make this easy for yourself!" Before he could shove her into the back seat of his car.

A guitar smashed the back of his head. His grip loosened from the shock, which gave Saphron the chance she needed to pull away from her attacker. But what Jaune didn't know was this guy had aura. So he recovered quickly "You little piece of shit!" He shouted as he turned and back handed him. Jaune fell on his side "Jaune!" Saphron went to his side. But her concern fell on deaf ears. Jaune shot right up and swings his guitar but he misses. Leaving him open to a punch to his gut. As the kidnapper was burying his fist deeper into Jaune's gut. He didn't expect Jaune to drop his guitar and grab him by his face and pushed him to the ground.

Jaune used his own weight to drop him and land on top of him. He grabbed him by the hair and started to slam him repeatedly on the concrete. Of course the kidnapper started to do everything in his power to get Jaune off. He punched, kicked but Jaune was persistent to smash his head open. So he reached for his gun and pulled it out and as best as he could. He aimed and *BANG!* "JAUNE!" All three sister shouted. He felt Jaune release him and so his head landed on the ground. But what he didn't see coming was a fist straight to the center of his face. And that's when Jaune witnessed his aura shatter. He started to calm down when "Why you do that for?" He looked down. And saw the face of the one person who had one big part of turning him like this. "I just wanted to play with your sister. You know, show her our little fun games".

Jaune grabbed him by his shirt and lifted him up and started to pull his fist back

"Jaune?" Max said who was now sitting in front of him. Jaune opened his eyes and saw this concern look from Max. "Sorry I was thinking about something" He turned his attention to the window. Max leaned forward "Are you okay?", "I don't know...how's my sister?". "She's worried about you. She thinks maybe the music video should be canceled" Jaune finally gave Max his full attention. "Why?", "Cause of last night. You left without saying a word to her and your friends. And later that night we get your scroll from two officers who told us. They found it near by a known criminal who is wanted for multiple murders. And they find him with only a ounce of his life Jaune". The explanation took Max's breath but once he calmed down "But she's more worried of you becoming-". "Like Johnny again, anger, violent and cold" Jaune said in a whisper. He turned slightly to see Amethyst talking through her scroll.

"You should go talk to her", "What could I possibly tell her". "For starters you should apologize for worrying her. And then tell her what happened last night". Jaune turned to Max and then he got up and walked to sit in front of his sister. He waited for her to finish her call. When she hanged up she tried not to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry for not telling you about me leaving and not calling you after my little tussle with Ca-Danny" he nearly said Cardin. "It's fine Jaune" her voice was serious "I've just called Dr.Smith and he has a opening tomorrow in the afternoon" she expected him to argue but he just nodded. "It's fine, I was going to make a appointment anyway" he leaned forward and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Thanks for being there for me, sis" he said with his signature smile. She couldn't help but smile in return "You dork" they both laughed.

Once done Max joined them, he sat next to his fiancé. "Can I join you guys, I was feeling very lonely over there?~" he said with a pout. Amethyst then planted a kiss on his cheek "Sure but I should warn you. My fiancé went to talk to my dork of a brother~". She leaned on his shoulder "So what your saying is that I got a shot and we should have a quickie before we land?" Max said in a complete shocked/playful voice. "Maybe, are you sure you-", "Stop please to the love of God just stop. If your going to do" he gagged which made Max and Amethyst to roll their eyes. "That, just go so I can keep the smallest insanity that still remains" Jaune said. Max got up and was about to lead his soon to be wife to the back room. But she stopped and looked at Jaune "Before we go, I should tell you that mom and dad with everyone else will be waiting for our arrival. And some camera men will be there to try and get a interview with Violet"

Jaune started to nod "Okay, all I need is a set of clothes, my wig and glasses" he said. "But I think you should watch this before deciding" Amethyst then pulled out her scroll and started a video. She handed it over to Jaune who saw his little sister Jade. It was a short video that was posted yesterday. "Hello fellow viewers, I got nothing to show today. But I wanted to tell you all that Violet is arriving at my grandpa's mansion tomorrow". She had this big smile on her face. But it slowly started to fade away "So we'll be heading to receive him tomorrow. But in all honesty I wanted my big brother to be the one coming back" she said in a sad tone. This made Jaune depressed and self loathing. "So if your watching this big bro. Please come home, we miss you" Jaune turned off the scroll. He remained there with a sad expression. "It's your choice Jaune, arrive as Violet or as our brother. But whatever you decide, remember that we still love you" Amethyst said.

Max went to grab a case and brought it to Jaune and handed him his wig and glasses too. "Here's a change of clothes and sorry. They were the only thing I could get before getting to the airport" he said. Jaune opened it and his expression changed "What the hell is this?" He said while pulling out a white transparent button up shirt with the sleeves ripped off. "This won't even close" he said after grabbing the dark jeans that had some rips. After that he pulled out black shoes with grey socks. He glared at his sister who returned the glare "That's what you get for worrying me". She said while pulling Max who mouthed a sorry to Jaune. Who took a long breath and just gave up "At least nobody from Beacon will see me wear this".

Beacon

Ruby could be seen carrying snacks with Nora helping her. They were heading back to team RWBY's room. After the party last night Amethyst told them a little bit about her family. She told them how her little sister is a famous Dustuber. And that she will be doing a live video of Violet landing at Ansel. When she told them that, they asked her how she knew. After explaining she was Luna and a very big embarrassing moment for everyone at the table. When Blake went super hardcore fan and started to ask many questions about her new work. And begging for a copy or if she had time to autograph her collection. But sadly once Max came back with a bag in hand and a sad expression. He whispered something into Amethyst ear which made her rise up from her chair and made her way to the exit. Max followed after her, leaving everyone confused.

So they remained there for a while till they had to catch the bullhead back to Beacon. Ren and Nora went to spend their time at the hotel. Once the power couple joined them in the morning. They decided to watch the live video of Violet. Ren opened the door for them which allowed them to hear the argument going on. "I'm not obsess and it's not porn!" Blake shouted at Yang. "Then you wouldn't mind me reading one part of it out loud then!" Yang reached for one but Blake grabbed her books and jumped on Ruby's bed. "You leave my books alone!", "Can you two calm down and help me. Winter will be here soon and I want everything perfect" Weiss said. She and Ren were moving things to make room for bean bags. But Weiss had two chairs for her and her sister.

Ruby and Nora went to a desk and placed the snacks. After a while they had everything ready. The hologram was ready and they were pumped to see Violet again. Even tho he left last night without saying goodbye to anyone. Pyrrha was sitting next to Nora who was munching on some mini pancakes that Ren made before coming over to Team RWBY's room. "No Mercury today?" She asked with her mouth full which irritated Winter to a degree. Weiss sadly got a custom to it "He's busy with team training exercises" she sounded sad about it. Nora was about to ask more when they heard a knock. Ruby opened the door to reveal May and her partner Roy. "May!" Ruby shouted as she delivered a hug. "Hey Ruby" she said with a smile, after Ruby released her. She told her that she invited Roy, which Ruby didn't mind.

After everyone took their spots and Ruby pressed play on the live video. It shows Jade standing next to a gorgeous woman who has long blonde hair. A white dress that shows off her hour glass figure and when she turned to the camera. They saw emerald eyes that added to her beauty. "Are you excite honey?" Her voice was so soft. "Yes mommy" Jade said as she moved forward and looked up. "Look Alfred!" She pointed up which the camera moved to see a plane nearing them. She then turned to Alfred who focused the camera at her. "Let's get closer!" She tried to run to the platform but someone picked her up. "Now princess, we can't go yet. Not till the plane lands" a deep voice said. Jonathan is wearing a white button up shirt that had three buttons undone. Chest hair could be seen and a golden necklace with a cross. He has blue dress pants with black shoes. And his hair is dirty blonde which was long enough for a ponytail. His dark blue eyes had this warm gaze that was centering towards his daughter. Who was fighting to be released by her father's embrace.

"MOM!, daddy is embarrassing me in front of my viewers!" Jade shouted. To say that everyone in the room was speechless. Seeing Jaune's parents who looked like super models. Winter kept staring at Jonathan who was smiling while holding his daughter. "Wow" was all her mind could produce. Nora blinked and then a thought came to mind "I wonder if Renny could grow chest hair?" She looked at Ren. "She's wondering if I could grow chest hair isn't she" Ren thought. "The legendary MILF" Roy's mouth was open and his mind kept replaying Jasmine. For some reason May kept looking at Jonathan but not like the rest of the people. Something about him looked way to familiar. Pyrrha and team RWBY kept thinking the same thing "He's Jaune's dad". "Are they here yet?" a deeper voice could be heard. The camera moved to reveal Oro walking with a cane and his trusty butler, Silver.

Oro was wearing a complete black suit. Yang was the one who got up "The legends are true, the silver fox is real!". Nobody paid her any attention. Winter leaned towards her sister "You said this Jaune is related to them. The very Jaune who you said dresses like a twelve year old" Weiss just nods. Ruby started to blush and kept thinking of Jaune but for some reason. He didn't seem that attractive like his father or that Guy Yang called a silver fox. Blake was having this intense fantasy of a DILF and a silver fox. May saw it again and that's when it clicked "No way" she whispered.

At Schnee manor

Willow could be seen laying on her bed with her scroll. She saw Oro walking his way to be next to his son. "Are you excited?" He asked Jade who stopped fighting for her release. She nodded with a big smile "You bet Gramps!" She yelled as she rises her hands up. Oro couldn't help but smile with his granddaughter's actions. Willow touched the screen with a small smile. A tear could be seen sliding down her right cheek. But once Jonathan moves enough for the camera to see his face. She turned off the scroll and placed it on the nightstand and grabbed the bottle of wine that was there.

Menagerie

Kali and some of the guards are watching the live video in the living room. "She's so adorable~!" Kali shouted as she saw Jade smiling to her grandfather. "Now honey remember, me and your father need to beat-", "Talk!" Jonathan interrupted his wife who was still pissed at her son. For running away and joining Beacon, but most of all. Sleeping around with multiple women while his family worried out of their minds for his will being. "No I think mom's is more reasonable" they turned their attention to a couple walking towards them with a two year old child. "Janice!" Jade shouted for her oldest sister. Janice looks just like her mother. But with shorter hair and is wearing blue jeans that were tight and a white blouse and her husband was wearing a green vest with a white button up shirt. With green dress pants and brown shoes. He has black hair with blue eyes and wears round glasses. Their daughter has black hair with green eyes. She's wearing a white dress with white sandals to match.

"Cerise!" Everyone shouted with so much joy. Cerise giggles from hearing her name by her family. Jasmine rushed towards her granddaughter and snatched her from Chris. And started to give her so many kisses "I missed you so much". "You saw her last night mom. You see her everyday!" Janice yelled at her mother who didn't pay attention to her own daughter. Kali couldn't stop and feel this jealousy towards Jasmine "I want a granddaughter". Just then Ghira who was in his office and Blake got this chill run through their spines.

And at the White Fang headquarters, Ilia could be seen sitting next to Yuma and Trifa. They are in the conference room watching the video. "When is Violet showing up!" Trifa was frustrated to say the least. "Soon I hope" Yuma said while eating popcorn, but he really didn't mind. And neither did Ilia, she kept staring at the mother and daughter. "I see your all here" Sienna said while walking inside the room. They were about to stand up but she told them to not bother. She took a seat and kept looking at the screen. She saw Oro laughing at Jasmine and Janice fighting over Cerise. Her eyes narrowed towards him. "The White Fang" she whispered to herself.

Junior's Club

Neo, Emerald and the Malachite sister are watching the video after the meeting between Cinder and Roman. "Like, what's up with that family being super models" Melanie asked her sister. "I don't know Mil" she leaned on her hands while her elbows were resting on the table. "But I wouldn't mind that DILF letting me-", "Please stop" Junior said while rubbing his forehead. Neo just kept eating her ice cream while watching that cute little girl being held by her grandfather. Oro managed to grab Cerise from Jasmine who was arguing with her husband. Who released Jade so she wouldn't hear them discussing about Jaune. "See, I told you we would make it" a 15 year old girl said while trying to catch her breath. She has short blond hair with her green eyes. She's wearing short shorts with a red shirt that read "Bad Bitch comin through!". She has a beauty mark on her right cheek that add to her beauty. This girl is one of the twins, aka Jamie D'Arc.

"Yes but we could have missed it!" The new person was Jamie's twin but she had long hair. But she had it in a ponytail and was wearing a yellow dress with brown sandals. She also had the same beauty mark but she wears glasses. And she's Jane D'Arc, the lady like twin. While her sister was known to be the tomboy. "Jamie, Jane!" Jade shouted as she pointed at her sisters. "Holy crap they're twins too!" Miltia said while looking at them. To say every guy in the room could say that the blondes looked more attractive then the Malachite sisters. Emerald was getting annoyed by this. So many attractive women or girls showed up to greet Violet. She wanted to throw a fit but Cinder was here with them. Hopefully Vernal is doing better then her.

A CampSight

Vernal was in her tent, laying on her small bed. Watching the same video as everyone. She's been checking her scroll everyday to see any news of Violet. Ever since that night she can't stop thinking of that passionate night. With her, Emerald and Violet, just letting their instinct lead them all the way. And it was amazing, she started to remember how Violet got her from behind and just "Vernal!". She panicked which made her drop, her scroll to the ground. Raven came into her tent and saw her still in bed. "What are you doing?, training started five minutes ago" her voice was cold. But for some reason Vernal didn't pay her no mind and just picked up her scroll. And checked to see two women rushing towards Oro and giving him a big hug.

"Gramps!" Saphron couldn't hold the joy from seeing her grandfather. "How are you two?" He asked. Jonathan finally managed to change his wife's mind of chaining Jaune to the house. As he turned he saw his daughters here. "Jane, Jamie and Saphron!, my babies" Jasmine shouted as she went to receive hugs from her daughters. Jonathan joined his wife, after the group hug they started to talk, but then they heard Jade shouting that the jet was about to land. They turned to see the jet landing and they made their way to it. Which made Vernal take a seat on her bed. Her heart was beating crazy. Raven looked annoyed so she just left her.

--

Beacon

Everyone was amazed by Jaune's family. They looked so gorgeous, handsome and so on. But then everyone started to think of Jaune as the black sheep for some reason. He didn't dress to impress or even have a decent hair style. "Do you think Jaune was adopted?" Yang asked out loud. Nora turned to her direction and gave her a glare "I'll have you know, our fearless leader is quite handsome!". "You can't be serious. All he wears is that atrocious hoodie and sad excuse of huntsman equipment" Weiss said. Nora stood up "Just cause he doesn't wear fancy clothes doesn't make him atrocious!". Ren got up and started to use his semblance on Nora. Which helped but Nora couldn't help herself and say something that made her smirk. "I'll even go and say he's more attractive then Violet" the way she said it. All smug, which got a raise from Winter, Weiss and Yang "How Can you compare him to a god like Violet!". Nora chuckled "If you only knew Because Jaune-Jaune is more handsome" she didn't care that Yang's eyes turned red.

"I mean you guys found the photo his sister showed you very bad boy sexy kinda vibes, right~" she saw Yang's eyes change back. And then Weiss showed a small blush while her sister looked confused. Ruby couldn't remember the picture that good cause she focused on his piercings at the time. Blake on the other hand, remembers those eyes digging into her soul. Pyrrha wanted to remember the picture but it was blurry for some reason. All she could think of was Mercury. "Wait a minute did you say Jaune. As a guy with kinda long blonde hair and blue eyes?" Roy asked. Everyone turned to him "Yes why?" Ren asked. "Is he here?, I was told to give him this" he said as he pulled out his wallet and then a business card. He handed it to Ren who read it out loud for everyone in the room. "Josh Kings, owner of Kings studios and agent" he seemed confused. Weiss recognized the name "Josh is a big time agent for many celebrities. But he's known more in the music business. Why does he want Arc?". Nora remained still which Ren noticed how her expression changed to nervous. "Who doesn't want him, after his performance last night!" Roy shouted. Remembering how Jaune just blew everyone's minds that night.

"What performance?" Ruby asked Roy who turned to her. "The one me, May and the rest of my team were at. We went to this underground hip hop place and we saw Kong there and Aries too. We were having drinks when we saw Jaune walking up to the mic and music started to play. Once he started to sing, Holy crap. I got chills when he started to move while singing. It's like his body was on autopilot while his mind was somewhere else" he laughed at that. "Which makes sense if your high-", "Roy!" May shouted for him to stop. The room had this tension after hearing that. It was a surprise to hear Jaune doing drugs. Winter didn't like hearing about a young man going down that road. But most of all, Weiss being close to someone who is influenced in drugs. The first one to move was Nora who pulled out her scroll and started to dial Jaune's scroll. But the call wouldn't go through which lead her to panic. "Nora calm down" Ren was as worried as her but he needed to calm her down before she does anything that might make matters worse.

"Don't tell me to calm down Ren!. Jaune's out there in-", "He's fine" May said. "How would you know?" Ruby also started to feel panicky "Cause May took him to a hotel last night" Roy told them. And with those words and them hearing the hologram. "They're here!" Jade shouted as she ran towards the jet with her sisters behind. They didn't know what to focus on "Big Bro!" Jamie, Jane and Jade shouted. That got their attention, as they all turned to see Jaune walking down the stairs from the jet. He was wearing the jeans with the shoes but he had his grey hoodie on. But the most notable thing was his hair, it was slicked back. Once Jaune was on the ground he kneeled down and stretched his arms wide. Seeing this, the twins slowed down which left Jade to be the first one to embrace her brother. Once they connected, Jaune stood up and held her up with one arm. And stretched the other one so he could hug his other sisters.

Which Jane took his free arm and Jamie ran behind him and hugged him from behind. Jaune could feel their tears staining his hoodie. But he didn't care "We missed you so much" Jade said. While burying her face on his chest so Jaune just closed his eyes. "I know and I'm sorry for not calling or letting any of you know I was alright". Alfred and everyone else finally made it and saw the display. The rest of the family joined in on the group hug. After seeing that affecting moment everyone in Team Rwby felt at ease. And in Menagerie, Kali was crying while the guards were trying their best not to. Ilia and Trifa doing the same while Yuma was blowing his nose with a handkerchief. Sienna just remembered unfazed by this. The Malachite sisters felt touched by the scene but they kept their composure. So did everyone else in the room. But when Roman got a better look at Jaune he recognized him. "Neo, isn't that the kid who wanted those forged transcripts?" He asked her. She tilted her head and squinted her eyes till she noticed. She nodded when she got an idea.

Roman had this mischievous expression. Vernal just stared at the screen waiting for Violet to come out already. "Couldn't wait for me to come out and join the group hug!" Amethyst shouted as she was coming off the jet with Max next to her. Jonathan looked up to see his daughter "AM!" Her father shouted her nickname. His expression changed when he spotted a rather big diamond ring on her finger. His eyes moved to Max who saw those eyes and did the only logical thing. He ran back inside the jet while Jonathan ripped himself from the hug and ran after him. Passing by his daughter who turned to save her fiancé "No dad I love him!" She ran into the jet. The family released each other and looked at the jet that was shaking. Jaune placed Jade down and couldn't help himself and laugh at his soon to be brother-in-law. He got a slap on the shoulder by Jane "Don't be mean, go help him before dad makes Am a widow". Jaune started to calm down "Sorry but no, he got himself into this". He then started to look around to find Joan but she wasn't there. "Where's Joan?", "She went to the mall with Aries and-" before she could finish.

"Never mind that Jaune. Cause we got some things to discuss young man~" Jasmine said in a sweet but demonic tone. Every man watching this felt this fear that only a woman can implement. While Kali nodded in approval by Jasmine's sadistic tone. She never used that voice on Blake but on her husband was another story. Jaune started to sweat bullets "About what mother?" he tried to play innocent and clueless. He wanted to turn but fear kept him still for dear life. "You know what you did" this time it was Janice who spoke. Cerise who was still in her grandfather's arm, buried her face onto his chest. She didn't want to see her mommy anger. "So what do you have to say Jaune~" his mother started to release this thick killer intent aura. He remained quiet till he did the only smart thing...he ran for his life.

"Oh no you don't young man, I did not raise a gigolo!" She shouted as she chased Jaune. While Janice and Saphron joined their mother. Jamie covered Jades ears before she could hear that. And Jane turned to Alfred and gave him the sign to turn off the camera. Which he did, leaving countless viewers speechless and feeling cheated by the fact that Violet never showed up.

Team RWBY's Room

After the live video was finished, everyone remained seated. "What just happened?, where's Violet?!" Winter asked the question many people who watched the video around the world were asking or thinking. But nobody wanted to speak. Nora tried again to dial Jaune's number but nothing. Ren hated seeing her like this so he pulled out his scroll and tried too but nothing. Ruby turned to May "What happened last night?" May saw everyone staring at her for answers. So she sighs and closed her eye "After Jaune's performance he passed out. So we agreed to get him to a hotel, and I pulled the short straws". Before Ruby could ask what stick, Roy pulled out four straws from his pocket. "After me and Roy took him outside and got a cab. Right when we got to the hotel Jaune woke up. So thankfully I didn't need to carry him inside and" images of Jaune being on top of her. "Your gorgeous" she unconsciously started to blush. Which everyone noticed "Hey May, are you doing alright. You've been acting weird all day since you came back from that hotel?" Roy asked her.

She started to snap out of it "Yea just remembering something". She got up from her spot "Sorry Ruby but I need to go" she walked pass them. Roy excused himself and went to follow his teammate. The group stayed seated but Ruby started to look for a video of Jaune. After finding it and seeing him with a muscle shirt on. She couldn't but blush "I don't remember Jaune having those". She clicked on it and the hologram screen showed the image she saw. Yang was taken back by what she was seeing. So was the rest, now that they thought of it. They never seen Jaune without his hoodie or anything that was tight. He would always wear something baggy that would hide his physique. Ruby hesitated to press the play button. But Yang was getting impatient so she swiped the scroll out of her hand. And pressed play, and that's when they started to hear music.

"Hey, Jaune, how's life?" I don't know, it's alright. I've been dealin' with some things like every human being. And really didn't sleep much last night (last night) "I'm sorry", that's fine" Jaune kept looking to his right with a tired expression. Which got everyone in the room to be concerned for his will being. "I just think I need a little me time. I just think I need a little free time. Little break from the shows and the bus rides (bus rides)" This got everyone confused except Nora who then remembered Violet's canceled concert "Yeah. Last year I had a breakdown. Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud. Had to see a therapist, then I found out. Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house. Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out. You know, pack my car, take a new route. Clean up my yard, get the noose out. Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out)" he started to look around till he turned around. The way he was moving was like he was searching for something. "I've been searchin' "What does that mean, Jaune?" I've been learning. Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens. Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect. Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me. Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous. Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry. And things might hurt me. It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey (but hey) It's worth it, though".

He then starts to shake like he was freezing. Ren felt uncomfortable seeing this side of Jaune. Ruby started feeling fear about the way he's acting. Like he was mocking them "Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats. Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam. Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code. Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode. Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone. Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes. I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?)" Blake was kinda taken back from the singing and how he seemed so out of it. "Been makin' a whole lot of changes. Wrote a song about that, you should play it. I get scared when I walk on these stages. I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah. That's when I start to get anxious" Jaune hugs himself with his free arm. Ruby gripped on her skirt, seeing that moment felt so emotional for her. Yang also noticed how Jaune seemed unstable at that very moment. "That's when my thoughts can be dangerous. That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred. Forget what I'm saying, and" Jaune then got this confused look and started to look to his sides. "Where'd the beat go?" That's when the beat drop and got everyone to jump.

Jaune started to move more aggressively "Oh, ain't that somethin'? Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'. Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'. Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach. Throw it back up like I don't want it. Wipe my face, clean up my vomit. OCD, tryna push my buttons. I said don't touch it, now y'all done it" his expression changed to a anger one. Pyrrha has never seen him like this. Not even when he lashed at her for offering to teach him. "I can be critical, never typical. Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal. Intimate, but never political, pretty visual. Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though. You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable" Winter couldn't stop but be hypnotize by the way he was moving with so much anger. Something about it made her blush, but thankfully nobody was paying her no mind. "Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool. Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful. Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos, videos)".

"Yeah, the sales can rise. Doesn't mean much though when your health declines. See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside" he then tapped his head with his finger. "That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies. Try to hold it underwater but it always survives. Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise. Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies. You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am" Nora doesn't like the way Jaune's eyes start to twitch and that smile. Nobody in the room felt comfortable seeing him like this. "The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place. And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way. It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe. Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay? Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face. Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great. You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate. Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (woo!)" Yang finally noticed Ruby tightly gripping her skirt. Her expression was of fear, of seeing Jaune like this. So she wrapped her sister and held her in.

"I am developin', take a look at the benefits. Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate. Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it. Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence. Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative. I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine. Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip. Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah)" Weiss just kept her eyes trained on his face. His eyes felt so empty and his expression felt so forced. She wanted to look away but she couldn't bring herself to do it. "Is he like this because of me rejecting him". "It's that time again. Better grab your balloons and invite your friends. Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in. Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big" he moved his finger to the side of his mouth. And pushed it upward so his smile could get bigger. His team felt so disgusted of themselves. Never noticing his smile never being genuine "On a road right now that I can't predict. Tell me "Tone that down, " but I can't resist. Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist. The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh" he then dropped the mic and threw his fist in the air. Which got everyone in the crowd to cheer him on.

After that Ruby reached for her scroll and turned it off. She wasn't the only one shocked by what they saw. "Ruby are you okay?" Her sister asked her. Ruby drops her scroll and embraces her sister. Yang just started to return the hug while Winter saw her own sister. "Are you doing okay Weiss?" She didn't answer her. She kept thinking that it was her fault that Jaune was like that. Blake just kept staring where the hologram screen was. How did they end up here. All they wanted to do was watch Violet. Pyrrha didn't know what to feel. She felt so devastated seeing her partner like that. But for some reason, every time she thought of him. Those feelings would disappear. And Ren was comforting Nora who started to cry after seeing that. She may know about his secret of being Violet. But Jaune seems more mysterious and distance in pain with something. But she can't help and feel guilty. He did everything he could to give her a chance with Ren and a romantic moment too. And here she was with the love of her life. While he's suffering from something.

After some intense running around the airport and dodging his own mother and older sisters. Jaune was caught and being dragged to the limousine outside. "You are in so much trouble young man. Sleeping around with those skunks" Jaune gave up on escaping. When they entered the limousine and started to make their way to his grandpa's mansion. That was located in this small town outside the city and near the beach. That's where the video will be shot and thankfully that's like his second house. But in all honestly he didn't want to go there. To many memories he wish could be buried. "Jaune!" He finally snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry I was thinking about going back there" he said while trying to smile but he couldn't. His mother noticed this action so she stopped nagging him. Jonathan was sitting next to his son while Jade was on the other side checking her scroll. "If you don't feel comfortable being there. You can always come back home. You can use your bike to go to work" his father said while trying to meet his son's eyes.

"Thanks but I can't always run from my past" he unintentionally gripped his forearm. Everyone noticed it but Jade who was never told about Jaune's kidnapping or wings. She was just a baby at the time when it all happened. She never understood why everyone acted like this around her brother. She glanced at Jaune's eyes and could see them turning sad. His dad wrapped his arm around him and pulled him closer and placed his hand on his shoulder. And lightly gripped "Forget about that okay. Just enjoy the time right now alright" Jaune just nodded. "Plus we got you some bodyguards and two of them are cute girls~" Jaune started to smile a little and chuckled. Jasmine slapped her husband's head as hard as she could without the need of aura. "Stop that right now, my son will behave and treat Coco and Velvet with respect!" Jaune's eyes went wide.

Which Jane and Jamie added more "Plus we invented Kim and she can't wait to see Johnny~". "Whose Kim?" Terra asked her wife "She's a big fan of my baby brother when he would play his guitar at the park. At the time Kim was friends with the twins when she heard Jaune sing one of his songs. And she fell hard for him, since then she has tried to be his girlfriend". Chris laughed while feeding Cerise who was in her car seat "I remember when she kept asking me to try and put a good word for her to my wife". Terra looked at Jaune "I didn't know you could sing", "Maybe cause you only have eyes and ears for a certain red head" Saphron said while turning away from her wife in a playful manner. "When are you going to stop that", "When you remove him from your freebie list" this got everyone by surprise. Jade was confused and looked around to see if someone would explain. Max couldn't hold it anymore and burst of laughter came out.

"You said you were alright with it" Saphron never turn to see her wife. "I am, I just don't want you to get hurt if he says no" she said as she turned to Jaune. "And if he says no, we got Jaune here" Terra looked at Jaune and started to blush. "Saphron honey, what's going on" Her father asked. "We've been thinking that it could be time for us to have our own family. And we can't do this without a donor ssssoooo. We came up with an agreement that Violet could be a good donor but if not him". They all looked at Jaune who remained quite "I was going to ask Jaune if he could help us". Jaune started to feel kinda hot, he looked at Terra. And looked her up and down "Its kinda hot in here, right?" Jaune started to unzip his hoodie. He opened it and started to fan himself but what he didn't remember was that his family hasn't seen him in the fake skin. His mother raised her hands to her mouth and tears could be seen. To say his sisters had the same reaction to this but Jade turned to Jaune. "Wow you've been working out big bro" she started to poke his abs. Jonathan then pulled off his hoodie and saw no scars through the shirt.

He couldn't stop himself from crying so he embraced his son with a big hug. Oro just smiles "So it worked?" He asked Amethyst who smiled and nodded. "I'm sorry for asking but what's happening and why is Jaune wearing that shirt?" Chris asked. Which resulted with Max laughing again and pointing his thumb at Amethyst. And that's when they felt the limousine do a complete stop. "We're at the gate sir" the driver said through the speaker. Once they got near the mansion they got out of the limousine and were welcomed by maids, butlers but the most notable was Alfred and Silver standing next to Kong, Fox and Yatsuhashi. When Jaune came out did Kong recognized him. They walked towards them "Attention!" Silver shouted and everyone was about to salute "That's enough everyone, we just want to go inside" Oro said.

They kept moving forward but Jaune stopped next to Fox. "Hey guys" Yatsu bowed and Fox just gave him a nod. He then turned to Kong who had his arms crossed "Hello I'm Ja-", "Jaune, yea I know. I saw your performance last night and I got to say your not bad" Kong said. Jaune started to feel nervous with this information. "Big bro!" Jade shouted as she ran up next to him. Jaune saw panic in her eyes "What's wrong?" He kneels down. She showed him her Dustuber account and saw her followers numbers going down. "I'm losing subscribers because Violet didn't show up!" Jaune then stood up. He turned to Kong "I'm sorry but I got to help my sister", "No it's cool, but I thought Violet was coming with you guys?". "He had something to do at Vale today so he won't be here till later" he answered him before lifting up Jade and excuses himself.

He carries Jade inside where he was surprised by the view of Kim. "Johnny!" She has short hair that was black with green dye in some areas. And she is 4'9 in height and is wearing leather pants that were tight. And her tank top was white with his face on it. With heels on and the most notable thing was her piercings. She had one on her nose, eyebrows and one on her bellybutton. But the thing that got his attention more was those two big. He felt someone smacking him upside the head "Don't you even think of it mister~" Jasmine said. Kim got closer "Holy crap I think she might be bigger then Yang. Hey Kim how are you?" Jaune said with a smile. "I'm doing fine now that your back" he noticed her checking out his muscles. And could have sworn he saw her lick her lips. He wanted to talk more but Jade slapped his shoulder "Jaune I need help!". "With what honey?" Her mother asked her. "I'm losing my subscribers because they are mad because Violet didn't show up" she said as she started to tear up.

Jaune was about to whisper that he would put in a suit and wear his disguise for her followers when Kim said something that got their attention. "Why don't you show them how amazing Jaune is. He's so much better then that talentless guy. The only good song from him was that one he sang in his interview". Jaune didn't know how to feel about that "That's a great idea, big bro could show them he is so much better then Violet!" Jade said while sending a notification to her remaining followers. "Don't I have a say in this?" Jade and Kim gave him a glare "No" they both said. Jaune placed down Jade who ran up to Kim and held her hand and dragged her to her room. But not before Kim turned and got a better view of Jaune with his see through small buttoned up shirt.

Jaune sighs "If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room" he said as he made his way to his room. He walked up the stairs and walked by so many rooms. Till he made it to his, he opened it and saw everything was exactly the way he left it. He ripped off the shirt he had on and made his way to his closet. He started to go through his clothes till he reached his signature jacket he wore. He couldn't stop himself and remember what happened.

Flash Back

The scene shows Johnny sitting on a stool with his shirt off. Alfred was cleaning the wound, thankfully it was a bullet graze. But it left a nasty scar, but luckily Jaune's healing factor was helping. "What were you thinking?!" Jonathan shouted at Jaune who didn't care. "You could have gotten killed", "Saphron was being kidnapped. What do you want me to do, nothing!" His father gave him one hell of a glare. "I want you to call the sheriff and let them handle it!" Jaune shot up and returned the glare. "So you want me to let my sister get kidnapped!" He marched right up to him. "To let a fucker torture her or even worse!", "No but what if you would have gotten hurt or even worse, put your other sisters in danger!". Jaune's knuckles turned white by the pressure in his fists. He started to shake from restraining his anger from exploding and raising his fist to his own father. "I would never let anyone or anything hurt them" Jaune said. He walked towards his jacket and picked it up and wore it. "Where do you think your going!", "To Gramps!" He said as he opened the door and walked out. He slammed the door shut as hard as he could. Which broke the door handle and cracked the door.

He started to walk away when his father broke down the door. "Your not going anywhere Jaune!" Jaune was going down the stairs. Where he saw his Mother, Saphron, the Twins and Amethyst sitting in the living room. They saw how anger both of them are so Jasmine gets up. "Jaune where are you going?", "To Gramps and there's nothing you or that asshole can say to stop me!". "Bro wait!" Jamie said but sadly Jaune didn't stop. Once outside Jaune walked to his bike and got on and started it. That's when his father came out but Jaune just drove off. Once he got to the Arc castle, Jaune went to the gates and was let in. Jaune parked his bike in his grandfather's garage. He walked inside and was met by Oro who was waiting for him since he got the call from his son. "Hey gra-" when he got close enough Oro smacked him with his cane. Jaune started to rub his head "What was that for?!", "That's for calling your dad a asshole" he then preceded to smack him again. "What the fuck!", "And that for worrying your poor mother" Jaune held his tongue. "Now then, I had Silver prepared your room. So go to sleep and get ready cause we'll be going to my mansion tomorrow in the morning" Jaune didn't argue. He just went to his room with Oro walking beside him.

When morning came Jaune woke up and started his routine. His hundred push ups and sit-ups, he went to take a shower. He could feel the hot water sliding down his back. He tried to remember what happened yesterday. But after punching that guy repeatedly and getting pulled off him by cops. And lashing out at them, he couldn't remember how he ended up back home. He touched where the new scar was and noticed it healed completely. He turned off the shower and walked out of the shower and got dressed with a white v neck shirt and his signature jacket. Blue jeans and black boots with his brown fingerless gloves. After that he walked down stairs to be greeted by the smell of breakfast. He walked inside the dining room and saw Oro there with a plate of waffles. "Jaune my boy, come join us before we head out" Jaune looked around and didn't see anyone there. "But it's just us?", "No it's me and your father" Jaune felt a hand push him farther in. He turned to see his dad with a neutral expression.

Jaune was about to walk away when Jonathan got in front of him. "Jaune wait", "Why should I, so you can tell me off. Or explain how I could have in danger my sisters by rescuing one of them!". Jonathan was about to erupt but thankfully he calmed down. "I may have been a little hard on you-", "You fucking think!" Oro grabbed his fork and threw it to Jaune's shoulder. When it stabbed him Jaune just winced but he grabbed it and pulled it out. He turned to shout at his grandfather but stopped when he saw this dark aura surrounding him. With his eyes shining with rage "There will be no cussing in my home". Jaune just dropped the fork and touched where there was three new small holes in his jacket. Jonathan wanted to say something but with Jaune's insane healing he knew it wouldn't matter. "Now come have a seat and eat waffles or I'm going to have to force you" he said while grabbing another fork that was placed there for Jaune's meal. So Jaune and his father joined him.

They started to eat in silence but Oro hated it. "I will be taking Jaune to the mansion near the beach. And I'll be showing him some hand to hand combat" Jonathan glares at his father. "You will not take my over unstable son to your mansion and teach him how to fight", "And why not, he has a gift. He's stronger then a average man and his healing factor-" Jonathan slammed his fist on the table. "Exactly my point, he's not normal and once you teach him how to fight. He'll be picking fights with dangerous people" Oro and Jonathan glare at each other. "I'm going with Gramps" Jaune said as he got up. "No you are not and that's final!" But Jaune didn't stop moving to go into the garage to get his bike. "Jaune Miles D'Arc I will not let you disobey me young man. I am your father, I know what's best for you" Jaune stopped. "You don't know shit!" He turned to his father and grabbed his shirt and ripped it as best as he could.

But it did the work since they could see his scars. "Your fucking best cost me my innocence. I lost eight fucking months of my life. Getting the shit beaten, cut, stabbed, water boarded and so many other things. And that's your pathetic excuse of your best!" his face was red from rage. "I did what I did yesterday for my sister's safety. I don't want her to end up like me!" He started to cry in rage. "A fucking outcast, a person who has to talk with a therapist once a week. Because his parents think he lost his mind in that fucking shit hole!" He shouted the last part as hard as he could. Jonathan couldn't met his son's eyes so he remained quiet. Oro looked at his son and then at his grandson. "That's enough Jaune" Oro's voice was gentle but that didn't calm Jaune down. "No he has to hear how his best-", "I said that's enough!" Those words shattered Jaune's rage.

"Now then, go get your bike and get ready to go. I'm just going to have a little chat with your father" Jaune didn't want to but. His grandfather's eyes told him that there is no room for discussion in the matter. So he left and zipped up his jacket and made his way to his bike.

--

A knocking from his door snapped him out of his memories. "Come in!" He yelled, but they didn't open the door. So he walked to it and opened it to reveal his twin. Joan was standing there with so many bags. She was wearing a white leather jacket and a salmon shirt. Her hair was dirty blonde and was shoulder length. What stood out was a pink line of dye on her hair. She also had white jean with rips on it and boots that fit her color scheme. "Hey dork" she said before sucker punching him. He backed up and held his nose "What the heck Jo!". "I thought I told you to never call me that!" She went straight for another punch. Which Jaune let her since he kinda deserves it. He fell on his ass this time "That hurt" she got on top of him and started to hit him. But he started to block "You piece of shit!, making us worry about your stupid face!" Jaune then saw tears streaming down. And her hits were slowing down "You left us behind just because of your dumb dream" after the last weak hit. Jaune stopped his blocking and saw her sad expression with tears already streaming down. She started to wipe away the tears "I fucking hate you" she whimpered.

Jaune pulled her in for a hug while laying down. She rested her head on his chest "I hate you" she kept repeating. But just like the punches, her voice was getting weaker. Till she stopped completely, Jaune wanted to move but he remained like this. Till she got off, Jaune sat up and looked her over. "You've changed so much" he remembered her wearing a pink dress with girly things. "*sniff* That's what happens when you don't see someone for a while" she looks at his upper body. No scars were present which made her smile a bit. "I could be saying the same to you too" Jaune chuckled and got up and give his sister his hand. Once she grabbed it, he pulled her up. "So how was your shopping?", "It was fun till Coco and Aries started to argue about fashion" which Jaune tenses. "Yea I remember how passionate Coco can be for fashion" he shivers from the thought of that one time he went to the mall with her and Velvet.

Just as they were talking did Coco walk in with the rest of her time. "Damn Jaune, I didn't know you were hiding those guns under your sweater back at Beacon" Coco said with a mischievous smile. Velvet got red all of a sudden when she saw Jaune's toned muscles on display. "Hey guys" he released a nervous laugh. "Big bro hurry, I'm losing subscribers!" Jade yelled for her brother. Jaune sighs and tells his sister and the rest of team CFVY to leave. Cause he had to change into something more comfortable.

Team RWBY's Room

Time passed ever since watching Jaune's performance. Ruby laid on her bed thinking of the last call she had with him. Before her thoughts could go even farther. Her scroll alerted her of a notification. She reached for it and saw a a message from Dustube. She pressed the button and saw Jade posting a video of her telling everyone to get ready for the live that will start in thirty minutes. She wanted to turn it off but she remembered Jaune was there. So she sat up and started to send her a message through the comments. And waited for a response for a couple of minutes till she got a response. She told her that she was Jaune's friend from beacon and she wanted to see Jaune. Or speak to him as soon as she can. And that's when she got a private link. She clicked on it and started a video chat.

She saw Jade giving her a suspicious look. "Are you really my brother's friend?", "Yes I am, I'm Ruby Rose" Yang looked at Her sister. "Ruby, who you talking to?" Blake was trying to get her mind off of Jaune. When she heard Ruby and then Yang talking, so she placed her book down and looked at Ruby. Weiss snapped out of her personal blaming herself for Jaune. But she climbed out of her bed and looked up to Ruby who was smiling. And then she saw Jade with a cute suspicious look. "Is that Jaune's sister?" Blake asked which got Jade surprised by the new voices. "Whose there?, identify yourself or I'll tell my brother on you!", "It's okay Jade, they're my teammates" Ruby then showed her. She saw Yang giving her a wave with a big smile. And then Blake gave her a small smile with a nod. And when she saw Weiss, she nearly freaked out "Your Weiss Schnee!" She shouted.

They were taken by this "Your the one who took my brother away from me!". She then started to pout "It's not nice taking him away from me" Weiss started to blush. "I didn't-", "Kim, Jane, Jamie!, come over here!" and that's when Weiss started to feel nervous. Jade then placed the scroll far away so team RWBY could see the others. "Is that Weiss?" Jane asked Jade who crossed her arms "Yes". Jamie got closer and tilted her head "She's the one that bro wouldn't stop talking about?". Kim saw her and basically scanned her "That's what I was competing against. A flat-board with a wig" she mockingly said. Weiss started to glare at Kim "What did you just call me!" Kim just crossed her arms under her breasts and pushed them up. She had this smug expression "You heard me". Yang was impressed by the size and Blake was too. But Ruby felt uncomfortable "they're bigger then Yang's" she looked down to her chest. And then she got a determine expression "I'll drink more milk!". "Can you please knock it off", "Fine" Kim said who just rolled her eyes. "So, why are you talking to my little sister?" Jane asked them.

"We're trying to talk to Jaune but he won't pick up" Ruby said. "Okay, but who are you to my brother?", "She said that they're friends" Jade answers for Ruby. "So what do you want us to do?" Jamie asked them while looking suspicious. "We were hoping if you could help us talk to him" Jane and Jamie looked at each other. "Should we?", "I don't know, maybe we could ask him" Kim just looked annoyed. "Or we could just hang up and go over the plan" Kim told the twins. Jade looked at Kim "What plan?" Kim looked down to meet Jade's eyes. "The plan for me to join your family. By marrying Johnny and becoming your sister in law~". Team RWBY were shocked by her statement but Jade didn't like that. "No, big bro is mine and you can't have him!" Kim was taken back by her outburst. "Jade be nice" Jane told her little sister. "No I will not be, I just got my brother back" Jane was about to say something else but Jamie stopped her.

"Weiss?" Winter voice came from behind the door. Weiss walked to the door and opened it to see her older sister holding some sweets. "Can I come in?", "Yes of course" Weiss moved to the side so Winter could come in. Once inside Ruby got a view of ice cream and five spoons. "What's with the ice cream?" Yang asked. "I've heard that ice cream is the best comfort food" Winter answered while walking to them. She saw Ruby holding the scroll towards them. And that's when she saw Jade and the rest. "Is that Jade D'Arc?" She asked Ruby who nodded. "Not another one" Kim said while walking away. "Where are you going?", "I'm going to your brother's room to have a small chat" Jade's eyes went wide. "No your not!" Jade ran after Kim. Jamie just shrugged and walked away while Jane just rolled her eyes.

She was about to leave but Ruby wasn't going to waste this chance. "Wait!" Thankfully Jane stopped and looked at her. "Can you please take us to your brother. I just want to be sure he's doing fine" Ruby said in a sad voice. She hesitated for a bit, but she gave in and went to pick up the scroll. "Fine but why do you want to talk to him this badly" she noticed how everyone looked uncomfortable. But nobody would say anything so she sighs "Fine then, I'll ask him myself". She then started to walk towards her brother's room.

--

Jaune came out of his bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He was drying his hair while walking to his bed. Once done drying his hair as best as he could. He hanged it over his shoulder. And looked around his room. But his eyes landed on his dresser, and his body moved towards it. He pushed his dresser to the side and got to the wall that was behind it and started to push this spot. And then he heard a clicking sound. He then swipe the wall and saw his secret closet. He saw his old hybrid guitar, that was a gift from his grandfather. The color scheme was black with silver skulls and his family insignia right at the bottom right. He touched it for a bit and then turned to his left and saw his little black book. He picked it up and started to flip through it. He saw all his songs he wrote before becoming Violet. As much as he loved some of these songs. Violet couldn't perform some of these. He then grabbed his pen that was on the spine of the book. He went to a blank page and started to write the melody and Lyrics of Would Anyone Care. Once done he closed it and placed it back to its spot.

He then went through some sealed letters he wrote for his sisters. Checking them, as much as he would want to get rid of them. He couldn't do it, they were the letters he wrote for them. He gripped them lightly and couldn't bare to remember the emotional torment it took for him. To write seven suicide notes for them, explaining how this wasn't their fault. And to forget about him and move on. He just placed them back and grabbed his guitar and closed his hiding spot. He moved his dresser back to his spot. He went to sit on his bed and looks through his window. He remained like that til he started to test his guitar. As he was doing this, his door was opening slowly. Kim opened his door all the way but she didn't make a noise. At first she wanted to surprise him with her presents. But she heard him playing his guitar and wanted to hear him.

Jade finally reached her, but she also stopped when she heard Jaune playing. Kim turned to her and move her finger to her lips and basically told her to stay quiet. Jade just nodded, and that's when Jamie arrived. She saw how they stood in front of the door. And she also could hear what's happening. Kim took a slow step inside and Jade did to with Jamie following them. Jane caught sight of what they are doing so she did the same. With Jade scroll still video chatting with team RWBY and Winter. When Ruby saw Jaune's muscular back with a faint of water still there from his shower. She covered her eyes but she burned that image into her memory bank. Yang was impressed by what she was seeing. And she may or may have not done the same like her sister. And saved the image too. Blake got a light nose bleed from Jaune's back. Winter just kept staring at his back and couldn't stop but feel heated. It's been so long since she had someone to help her with her itch.

But the only person to make her feel like this is Violet. But ever since she saw Jaune in that white...tight muscle shirt. She bites her lower lip and started to play with her bangs. Like a teenager girl checking out her crush. Weiss tried to play it off like she wasn't even fazed by this. But seeing him like that just made her think of the times. He would try and ask her out. As this was going on, Jaune stopped which made everyone in the room. Hold their breath, Jaune was thinking which song he should sing to get his vocals ready. Cause in reality as Violet, he would make his voice more smoother and cheerful. And as Johnny he would make his voice more deeper or just his normal voice. But his music would be more focused on rage or sad kinda songs. And that when he got a idea which song he was going to sing.

He took a moment to remember the lyrics and then focused his emotions. On the lyrics and how this was a song he wrote for his younger self. A assignment from Dr. Smith to write a letter to his past self. But for some reason he ended up writing a song. He started to play the guitar with his eyes closed. He imagined his ten year old self sitting next to him. "This world will never be. What I expected, And if I don't belong. Who would have guessed it" he opened his eyes and they looked in pain. He could feel his past feelings when his relatives would hurt him. "I will not leave alone, Everything that I own. To make you feel like it's not too late. It's never too late" he switched his guitar to a electric one with a switch and adjusted his volume. "Even if I say, It'll be alright. Still I hear you say, You want to end your life. Now and again, we try. To just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around. 'Cause it's not too late, It's never too late" his voice started to get more deeper while singing.

"No one will ever see, This side reflected" the twin felt awful listening to this. They've lived with Jaune during his aggressive times. But they also seen how broken he was after his kidnapping. "And if there's something wrong. Who would have guessed it. And I have left alone, Everything that I own. To make you feel like, It's not too late, It's never too late" Kim couldn't help but remember how she would skip school just to hear him. In the park or even go as far as to sneak out of her house in the middle of the night. To go and hear him perform at a bar which didn't care if your underage. You just couldn't buy or drink alcohol. "Even if I say, It'll be alright. Still I hear you say. You want to end your life, Now and again, we try. To just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late, It's never too late" Weiss could hear his voice changing. Like he was being lost in the song. And she couldn't stop but feel his pain through it. "The world we knew. Won't come back, The time we've lost. Can't get back".

Once Ruby took her hands away from her eyes. She felt sad, hearing him like this. "The life we had, Won't be ours again" Blake for some reason liked the song. It had so many meanings to it. Yang was taken back by Jaune's voice and his skills with the guitar. "This world will never be. What I expected, And if I don't belong" Winter couldn't stop her self but be lost with his music. Even if it was completely different from Violet. "Even if I say, It'll be alright, Still I hear you say. You want to end your life" Images of Johnny holding a revolver in his hand. He could see his reflection. "Now and again, we try. To just stay alive, Maybe we'll turn it all around" he imagined his old look shafting into his current one and then into Violet. " 'Cause it's not too late. It's never too late, Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late, It's never too late (it's never too late) It's not too late, It's never too late" he switched his guitar back to normal and finished. He turned to see his younger self disappear. And in the corner of his eye, he saw a figure. He turned completely and saw his sisters and Kim standing there.

But the biggest thing he noticed was his grandpa standing behind them. With a sad expression on his face. "What are you guys doing in my room!" He stood up and turned his body to them. Kim started to fan herself "Wow" was all she could say. Jaune turned to her "Kim calm down" Jaune's voice was deeper again. She fainted and fell hard. Jamie turned her attention to her and just rolled her eyes. "Now will you look at that. My grandson has a unconscious young girl in his room. While only wearing a towel around his waist" Oro moved his hand to his mouth in a dramatic fashion. "How shameful" he said in a dramatic voice. "Shut up you old fart!" Jaune grabbed his pillow and threw it. But Oro just dodged it "And now he's attacking his own grandpa, oh the humanity!". He was about to say other things but he noticed how Jane was pointing Jade's scroll at him.

"Are you recoding me?", "No, just video chatting with your friends from Beacon. And it seems like they're in complete shock" Jaune just rolled his eyes. "Stop playing around Jane and stop recording me" she then pressed a button. That made a hologram to appear out of the scroll and show team RWBY and Winter. Completely red and with nosebleeds while Blake and Winter had steam trailing out of their ears. This made Jaune's eyes go wide like dinner plates. Nobody moved for quite some time. Jaune kept staring back at them til he noticed Winter's eyes focusing down to his V cut abs. Jaune grabbed the towel that was still on his shoulder and covered his abs and everything else that leads down. And with a shake voice "Get out" he said in his normal voice. Jamie just grabbed Kim by her hands and pulled her out while Oro just laughed at his grandson. "This will be a fun week for sure" he said as he helped Jamie carry Kim away.

Which left Jade and Jane with team RWBY and Winter still present. "Are you mad at us big bro?" Jade used her puppy dog eyes and it was affective. "No but could you please go. I have to get dressed" Jade nods and walks out. Leaving him alone with Jane who still had the scroll facing him. "Can you leave too", "Not before I hear what happened to you" Jaune got confused. "Nothing happened to me, I'm right here" Jane narrowed her eyes. "Then why are your friends trying to call you desperately" Jaune looked at Ruby and could see her avoiding his eyes. "What do you mean?, my scroll hasn't ranged since I've been her-" then realization hit him. He walked to his hoodie and bend over to grab it. Yang couldn't help but whistle, which lead to Jaune picking up his broken scroll. He tried to turn it on but it didn't "Damn, got to it a new one" he then turns to them. "Sorry but my scroll broke last night. That's why I didn't pick up or anything" he said while scratching the back of his head.

"T-that's fine" Ruby said while fidgeting with her skirt. "Well I got to get dress so I'll call you later today okay" he said with his signature smile. "O-okay" she didn't know what to think or say. She's never seen him like this. He was just a friend, a dorky silly friend. But seeing those muscles and hearing his voice before realizing they were hearing and seeing him. Just as Jane was about to turn off the scroll she got a mischievous idea. "So is one of them your girlfriend or your just fucking them" she hanged up right when she finished. Jaune's mouth was left hanging open and his eyes wide. Once Jaune snapped it of his shock, his expression morphed into rage "JANE!"

Nora was sitting on her bed while waiting for her scroll to ring. Ren went to make some pancakes to comfort her. Pyrrha went with Ren to see if Mercury was back. After the whole video and seeing Jaune act like that. She couldn't stop thinking the worst things. How Jaune could hide the fact he was Violet and keeping his feelings hidden too. But now with the knowledge of him doing drugs and remembering the recording of him in a bar with his agent. And checking any news about Violet from the past week. She stumbled on the news of him sleeping with someone in a hotel. And remembering how he got expelled by hurting Cardin. She couldn't stop and imagine him suffering from the inside. And she couldn't stop and remember a specific part of his song. "Yeah, Last year I had a breakdown" the way he said it. And how he kept saying he had voices inside his head.

As she was thinking this, her scroll started to ring. She saw the caller idea but she didn't recognize it. She picked up anyways "Hello?", "Hey Nora it's me Jaune" hearing his voice made her slightly cheer up. But frustration took over "Why haven't you picked up my calls?!" She shouted into her scroll. On the other side Jaune winced from the yelling. "Sorry, I just broke my scroll last night and just barley realize I never checked it. But I got a new scroll and your the first person I called". She wanted to chew his ear off but she gained control of her emotions. "What happened to your scroll?" Jaune stayed quiet which worried her even more. "I just dropped it on the floor when I was walking back to my hotel room" he lied. "Jaune...are you okay?", "Yea I'm fine, I'm just getting ready to go and sing a song for my sister's Dustuber channel". Nora wanted to ask but she couldn't bring herself to do it. But that's when the door to her room opened to reveal Ren with a plate of pancakes.

Ren noticed Nora's expression and her scroll on her ear. "Is that Jaune?" He asked her while placing the plate on their desk. She nodded which Ren walked to her and extended his hand towards her. "Can I speak with him?" Nora saw Ren's eyes and could see he demanded the scroll. Which she gave in and handed it over to him. He placed the scroll to his ear "Jaune", "Hey Ren, how was last night. I heard that you and Nora are finally together-together" he said in a teasing matter. "Cut the crap Jaune!" This made Jaune very concern. He never heard Ren speak like that before but he heard stories from Nora. "Where were you last night?", "In my hotel room" Ren was losing patience. "We know where you were last night Jaune. May and Roy told us about the state you were in" Jaune remained silent. "Do you have anything to say?" Ren asked while Nora tried to calm him down. "Ren please you don't understand", "What don't I know Nora?" He looked at her. She wanted to say something but she held her tongue. It was Jaune's secret to tell and not her's.

Jaune heard him ask the question and could feel Ren's frustration reaching higher levels. And knowing Nora, she won't tell him about his persona. So there was only one solution to this. "Your right Ren, I fucked up last night" Jaune could feel the tension between Ren and Nora calming down. "I wanted to be there for you and Nora...but nobody wants Jaune Miles D'Arc. Everyone wants someone who could bring them a smile. Lift up their spirits and make them embrace that beautiful feeling. The very same feelings you felt when you saw Nora walking towards you with that gorgeous dress, jewelry. But most of all, that smile that brightens up your life" Ren could hear his voice crack. "What are you saying Jaune?" Jaune takes a breath and closes his eyes. "Everyone wants Violet, Ren. Not me...so I planned everything. And to know that your finally with the person you love. Made me happy that I had a part in it".

"But remember Ren" he opened his eyes "Stand side by side, And you'll make it. She's the best thing that you'll ever have. She'll love you, If you love her like that" he sang in his Violet voice. Ren was speechless from hearing that. He was confused till Jaune continues in his Violet voice. "Take care both of you" he hanged up, leaving Ren speechless.
