I own nothing except the story and OC, RWBY's world and characters are owned by Rooster Teeth.


I decided that I enjoyed the story I started with 'The Deputy Headmaster of Beacon Academy' and I couldn't help but continue it but I've also decided this story was better as a series of One-Shots and not an entire chapter by chapter story. Honestly I hope people are okay with that and can understand that this story will be mostly lighthearted...maybe...possibly. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Sparrow walked through the halls of Beacon listening to the students gossiping about whatever topics seemed interesting to them, one of the topics was the exchange students that began arriving a few weeks ago. Sparrow inwardly chuckled as he listened to a conversation about the team setting up the dance this year, team STRQ.

He still remembered the faces of the 'Bird Twins' when Oz told them. He wished there was a camera in Oz's office so he could keep the image forever. The other two, Ladies Man (Taiyang Xiao-Long) and Bubbles (Summer Rose) seemed to be delighted at the news and almost immediately dragged the birds off to plan the dance.

That was over a month ago and the dance was to be tonight. Sparrow nearly choked on his hot chocolate when he heard tonight was the dance, he had completely forgotten about it and was thankfully reminded by Gabie as they were in the breakroom yesterday.

Gabie Waterworks, was the nurse of Beacon Academy and just like him, had taken up an apprentice who seemed a bit too into the process. A third-year fox Faunus named Tsune, Sparrow liked her though, he was sure she'd cause dread for the students who were faking being sick. Just like he did for people who skipped combat class, they didn't make that mistake twice.

Sparrow was also planning on keeping Oz in view at all times. Last year's dance had ended with several calls from irate parents having their daughters sent home because they were pregnant and made some bad choices while drunk because of the punch that Oz had spiked.

Oz was never suspected and he got away scot-free, it was Sparrow's self-proclaimed job to curb Oz's mischievous streak. At least for the Dance.

Honestly, he didn't care that Oz did that, immortality made people severely bored and Oz was getting to the point where he needed something to distract himself with. Sparrow probably would have done the same thing but he'd be suspected right away, Oz had the perfect humble and mysterious persona that he barely slipped off around the public. Sparrow knew perfectly well Oz wore that mask every chance he had.

Besides the Oz Apocalypse, he needed to check in on his new-fangled apprentice. A few weeks ago he finally approached Ms. Goodwitch with the apprenticeship, she tried to keep up a stoic and stern facade but he knew she nearly squealed at the opportunity.

Sparrow had already taken her out on a few missions that had shown to increase her already impressive control of her semblance and she even modified her riding crop, name still being debated, to hold dust in the handle that she uses in tandem with her semblance. Though she still has a pouch strapped to her leg filled with dust, it was hidden by her skirt in case she ran out of dust in her riding crop,

He was honestly surprised by how much he enjoyed teaching the girl, something about the way she just absorbs the material just made him proud. Was this what dads felt like? If so, he didn't hate it.

On another note were the new Headmasters at Shade and Atlas Academy, he hadn't heard from Oz about the replacements yet and even though he wasn't a true member of his inner circle, more of an honorary member, he was still in the know about the war.

He idly wondered what kinda people would be the replacements, Atlas was sorta obvious a military commander of some kind. Vacuo was more of a wildcard, Vacuo was a place that believed if you could survive there you were welcome. The same thing for hatred, they hated each other equally so Faunus racism is almost nonexistent there. Who knew hatred could bring people together?

Sparrow rounded a corner and finally found Glynda Goodwitch, "Ahhh, my apprentice."

Qrow cursed the world for his rotten luck. He and Raven had attempted to evade Summer, who was trying to get them to go suit/dress shopping and they desperately wanted to get away. Then Summer cheated and used Taiyang to get them to go, so that's how he found himself being carried on Taiyang's shoulder through Vale's streets.

"This is unnecessary," Raven growled, being in the same situation only on the other shoulder, "we can walk."

"Yeah you can," Summer retorted, "I just don't trust you not to walk in the opposite direction."

Raven growled and attempted to elbow Taiyang's head, she was stopped by his semblance armoring his head, "Nice try, Rae." Taiyang said, Raven still continued her assault even in the face of failure.

"You will let me down or I will CASTRATE YOU, TAI!"

"Tai, don't let her down no matter what she says." Summer said.

"I won't, Summer."

"Gods," Qrow finally said, "you two act like our mom and dad."

"Hush dear," Summer said in a joking tone, "mommy and daddy are speaking."

Taiyang just chuckled while Raven growled and increased her resistance. Qrow couldn't help the smile that formed. He still hated that he would be wearing a suit, but slowly accepted his fate. Raven still fought fate as useless as it was.

/-/

Raven kicked and elbowed. She would not wear those damn wrappings and be forced to look proper, why couldn't Summer just let her wear her combat outfit? It was perfectly fine.

The only obstacle was Tai and his muscular arms. She wiggled but he just strengthened his grip, "I will be let go!" she yelled, scaring a woman at the suddenness of it.

Summer slowed her walk and got right next to her, "Why are you fighting this so hard? Qrow seems to be fine with it." she pointed towards her brother who was just laying limp over Tai's shoulder.

"He's a weak willed fool, I am not as weak willed and will not wear a dress!" Summer frowned at her, ignoring the 'hey' from Qrow.

"You will be wearing a dress and all that entails," Summer started, "you will wear heels, you will tie up your hair," she ignored the agonizing noise Raven made, "and you will LIKE IT!"

Raven held on to the embers of resistance, even as they were ripped from her hands by the fiend, Summer Rose.

/-/

Ozpin finished up some paperwork from a few days ago, even as he did this he thought of a way to mess with the students. Last year he'd poured some hardcore liquor in the bowl of punch and ended up losing several huntresses in the process. Not his finest moment.

This year he'd decided to let the students start the chaos, team STRQ was already chaotic as it was and he was sure something would happen. His thoughts were interrupted by a silver sparrow flying through an open window, Sparrow shifted back mid-air and fell to the floor laughing like a maniac.

"What'd you do?" Ozpin asked, he was already used to this behavior.

"HAHA..I..*Snrk* a-accidentally let slip th-haaa…that Ms. G-goodwitch may ha-hehe-have a BDSM kink..*Snrk* HAHAHA!" Sparrow said, writhing on the ground.

"That doesn't seem very funny."

"It's not just that," Sparrow said, finally getting a grip on his laughter, "she froze when I said that, the way she turned towards me, I swear I heard her neck creak, she just stared at me for a moment. Before I'm sent through a wall and into Peter's class."

Ozpin let the edge of his lips curl up.

"Peter didn't even react at first, he continued the story he was telling and seemed to ignore me slamming into his desk. He finally turned, when he noticed a student pointing behind him, he just waved and asked why I'd visited..*Snrk*...I turned my head towards the hole and pointed, he looked at the hole and saw Goodwitch look through it with a rather sheepish expression and he just looked at me and said, 'Ahh, those kinds of trouble.'I had no idea what the hell he meant until I saw Goodwitch's face burn bright red and accidentally let off a pulse of her semblance."

Ozpin was smiling at the tale.

"I'm sent flying again! This time I flew through the window and fell two stories. I turned into a bird before I hit the ground and flew off, now I'm here." he finished.

Ozpin chuckled at the story, Sparrow always found himself being in situations where something strange happened or something that was always funny.

"I can assume no one saw you shift into a sparrow," Ozpin asked.

"No, they're probably confused about where I went but I can always say I limped to the nurse's office," Ozpin nodded his head, "also I'm not letting you do a damn thing at the dance this year."

Ozpin's good mood left him and he suddenly wanted to talk about something else, "Besides that we do have something to do while the Dance is in motion." Sparrow raised a brow from under his shades and Ozpin pressed a few buttons on his desk.

A hologram appeared in the center of the office showing a man in an Atlas military uniform, "Meet the newest Headmaster of Atlas Academy, Captain James Ironwood."

Sparrow looked at the hologram and turned while pointing at the picture, "Why's his last name contradicting materials?"

/-/

Raven sat on her bed in the team STRQ dorm room. She was glaring at the only other person in the room, Summer Rose, half naked and putting on a white dress with red spider web designs on her chest.

"It's not that bad, Rae." She said, pulling the dress above her chest.

"This godsdamn mummy suit is awful," she growled, Summer had forced her to take a dress so she settled on a black dress with crimson red lining, the only thing good about the dress was the fact it came with boots. That was a lie, she tossed the heels when Summer wasn't looking and grabbed ankle-high leather boots.

"Well you'll wow the guys, that's for sure." Summer said with a smile, Raven didn't look amused and messed with her boots straps.

"Well maybe I don't want a guy, think about that?"

"Oh, what, you like girls Rae?"

Raven looked at her, "No, not.. not really."

"Oh, well at least try to have fun tonight okay, I know you lived out in the Frontier and prefer more" she paused, trying to find a word, "un-city-like things but just try, okay?

Raven looked out the window and sighed, "Fine."

"Good, now you'll also be the greeter for everyone entering the party."

Raven slammed her head into her hands, she hoped Qrow was suffering as well.

/-/

Qrow was trying to tie the tie to his suit and was very close to tearing the thing to pieces, "Why are these things so difficult!" he growled.

Tai laughed as he watched Qrow suffer, he really wanted to punch the blonde, maybe kick his teeth in. Qrow attempted to tie it once again and failed again, he brought the tie to his eye level and glared at it, Tai laughed a little harder, "Gods, Qrow, you look like it killed your kid." he wiped away a tear.

Qrow glared and was about to retort when he saw Tai's tie, tied perfectly, "How'd you do that?"

Tai raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"The damn tie, Tai."

"Oh that's easy," he hopped off the desk and approached Qrow, "First you straighten it," he grabbed Qrow's tie and flipped his collar, "snake it around your neck then…" he wrapped the tie around Qrows neck, "fat over thin, fat around again, fat into the keyhole, right down the drain. There. Done. Easy." Tai finished with jazz hands.

Qrow pats his tie and found it was actually tied perfectly, "What the hell…how.." his brain seemed to need a reboot.

*Smack*

Qrow's head snapped left as Tai whacked him to get him working, "We don't have time to question my awesome tie skills, let's get moving." he moved towards the door and Qrow slowly followed.

/-/

Glynda walked down the hall with a slight pep in her step. She didn't really show it but she was excited about the Dance, she wasn't going to dance, it was just a nice event and she enjoyed them. She also wanted to forget the incident with Professor Sparrow earlier and dove head first into the escape, but that's beside the point.

Glynda walked into the ballroom and was greeted by music and a rather surprising sight, Raven Branwen greeting. She walked towards Raven, "Raven?" the girl turned towards her with a blank expression, "Why are you.." she trailed off pointing at the podium in front of her.

"Summer," Raven said with so much venom in her voice that Glynda believed it could kill someone.

Glynda nodded and accepted that as an answer. She knew how Summer Rose could very easily take control of her team, at the beginning Glynda had thought she was a bubbly idiot but Summer had very quickly shown her prowess as a leader.

The second week here had shown Summer's prowess as a fighter too, when Raven had challenged her for team leader, Glynda didn't know all the details but apparently Raven and Summer had a fight over ideals.

The 'fight' resulted in a fight between the two members of STRQ and was a private spar watched by 'TQ' of STRQ, her, and Professor Sparrow. The fight had lasted nearly thirty minutes, neither had let up, pulling out as many tricks as needed.

Summer eventually pulled her semblance out and basically one-shotted Raven at the end. The semblance was a shock to Glynda when she saw a very powerful buildup type apparently, Summer could use her exhaustion as power.

Summer's semblance basically took her exhaustion as the signal she was slowly dying or something, Summer didn't explain it very well, aura built up in her hands until it was so much she needed to let it loose. Rosebud was that outlet and she released the aura in a slashing arc that was followed by white Roses.

She did that very thing to Raven and was rewarded by launching her into a wall and shattering her aura by accident. The fight was called off and Summer was the winner, since then Raven obeyed Summer with almost no issues.

"So, anything happen yet?" Glynda asked, somewhat unsure what to say.

"No," Raven said, "a few dumbasses flirting with me but I stonewalled them. Would've crushed them but Summer's watching from the balcony." she pointed back with her thumb towards the balconies, and sure enough Summer was watching the entrance.

Glynda just stared at Summer who waved with a gigawatt smile before going back to watching Raven. Glynda felt she should just leave and turned to leave, "Yo, Bird Girl!" a voice both recognized sounded behind her.

Professor Sparrow walked up and stood next to Raven, who was doing her best not to look at him, "So how'd you get roped into being the greeter for the dance?" she pointed towards the balconies and Sparrow followed her finger. He waved at Summer who waved back and continued watching Raven.

"Sucks, team leaders am I right?" Raven huffed in agreement, "I can understand that Oz may present this mysterious and all-knowing Headmaster but believe me when I say he's practically my team leader with his position."

Glynda listened intently to Professor Sparrow's words, if she planned on usurping his position when he retired she needed to understand the Headmaster

"I mean the wise Headmaster act is the perfect alibi when his mischievous side strikes-"

Glynda seriously doubted that, Raven seemed to be listening a little more than before.

"-I mean those huntresses last year were the result of him spiking the punch bowl with hard liquor-"

Glynda sputtered and Raven was staring at him, jaw gaping.

"-he's also the one who thought up the launch pads for Initiation, he says there for landing strategies and he's not wrong, but that was just an excuse so he could torture the student-" he was cut off by a cane being slammed on his foot.

"I do believe the poison you are putting in these young girls' minds is very wrong, Sparrow," Ozpin said casually as if he didn't just smash his Deputy's toe.

Sparrow shrugged the blow off, his aura flashing in the area he was hit, "And he hurts his faculty members, so be careful Ms. Goodwitch, when you begin to work here your at risk of abu-." he was cut off again by the Headmaster slamming the hilt of his cane into his stomach hard enough to send Sparrow back.

Sparrow laughed it off as Ozpin suggested they leave, Glynda and Raven could only stare as the two professors walked off toward the dance.

/-/

"Really, Sparrow," Ozpin sighed, "were you trying to make the students wary of my every move?"

"Possibly, just because I refuse to let you do anything during the dance doesn't mean I can't." Ozpin simply sighed again and looked over the party.

Ozpin watched as several students congregate around the dance floor, he also silently chuckles at the Shade students stumbling on the floor. He turns his head towards the punch bowl to find Mr. Branwen slurping down the fruit punch alone, ahh social awkwardness how he loved to find enjoyment in teen suffering.

Ozpin's thoughts are interrupted by a student coming towards them, or more specifically Sparrow, "Professor Sparrow!" she called, Sparrow turned and smiled.

"Ahh, Murder Nurse, how's it going?" the fox Faunus rammed her elbow into his stomach, "Hehe what is it, abuse Sparrow night?" he asked no one in particular.

"I don't murder them," Tsune said, Ozpin recognized her as Gabie's apprentice, "I just make them feel more pain than necessary." she corrected.

"And what about Ms. Winchester?"

"She deserved the lightning dust treatment I gave her, I don't take shit from racists."

"Yeah, I'm sure the gene pool will thank you for your actions."

"If I may interject," Ozpin said, cutting into the conversation, "what did you do to Ms. Winchester? I wasn't aware of any injuries."

Tsune looked at Ozpin and said, "In combat class, Sparrow chose her and me to fight. I beat her, went to the locker room, switched out the fire dust in Medicine Stick for lightning dust, and rammed it into her crotch until she was a twitching mess on the floor." Tsune smiled with far too much sweetness, her tail noticeably increased the speed it swayed at.

Ozpin slowly turned to look at Sparrow who wiped an imaginary tear, "Babies first revenge plot, they grow up so fast." he sniffed.

Tsune pouted, "Excuse me, I'm twenty years old and am in a very complicated field."

"Exactly, you're only twenty, still a kid to us." Sparrow gestures towards himself and Ozpin.

"I'm gonna make sure you're in pain if you ever find yourself in my office." Sparrow barked out a laugh and ruffled the girl's hair, she growled at him but didn't try to stop him. The fact her tail was slightly wagging told Ozpin she enjoyed it.

"Anyway," she pushed the hand away, "I came to ask Professor Sparrow to dance." She looked at Sparrow and so did Ozpin.

"Um, why?" Sparrow asked, a little confused.

"What? Is it wrong to ask a soon-to-be co-worker to dance with them?"

"No one wanted to dance with you did they?"

"Shut up! It was mutual," she huffed and folded her arms, but glanced back at Sparrow, "so?"

Sparrow brought a hand to his chin and hummed in thought, he looked back at Ozpin and narrowed his eyes. Ozpin deadpanned at him already knowing what he was thinking, he shook his head and then motioned towards Tsune who was still waiting.

Sparrow looked towards Tsune, "Alright!" he threw his cane up and Ozpin caught it, "Lead the way, ma'am." Tsune fist pumped, grabbed his arm, and dragged him away.

Ozpin watched as his colleague was dragged by the soon-to-be nurse towards the dance floor, he looked at the new cane in his hand, Melancholy, if he remembered right. He collapsed Long Memory and clipped it in his coat pocket, he leaned on Melancholy ready to watch the chaos he was sure would occur.

/-/

Qrow hated this dance. He stood near the punch bowl alone, just watching as the dance progressed. Currently, he was watching Professor Sparrow and a third year, he'd forgotten her name, dance. He would admit they were good, aside from the few times the girl stepped on the Professor's toes, though he thought that was on purpose as Qrow saw the Professor say something, and those toe-stepping moments would happen.

His eyes wandered and landed on Tai, who was talking to several women and a few Faunus girls, gods he was a lucky bastard. Qrow grumbled to himself and continued sipping the punch, he was slowly wishing it was spiked. His eyes wandered back to Sparrow and the girl and found them slow dancing as the music slowed down, he didn't notice the figure slowly walking towards him.

"Hey, Qrow." Summer chirped, accidentally scaring him and making him nearly drop his glass.

"Monty! Summer, are you trying to kill me?" Qrow said, Summer giggled and waved away the words.

"No, I'm just checking on the only member of my team that isn't having fun."

"Aren't you supposed to be watching, Raven?"

"Eh, she's been fine. I think it's okay to let her out of my sight." Qrow raised a brow before pointing towards the entrance. Summer's eyes followed and her smile suddenly became strained.

Raven was still at the podium but was now close to strangling a guy who was flirting with her. No, wait, scratch that she was strangling the guy. Qrow did his brotherly duty and poured some of the punch out for the poor bastard now in Raven's clutches, Summer looked at him as if he grew a second head, "What are you doing!" she screeched.

"Lettin' the guy know he'll be remembered," he said.

"Why aren't you trying to help him!?"

"If he can't defend himself then he deserves the humiliation."

"Ugh, just when I think that mindset is gone, one of you pulls this." Qrow looked at her.

"Well that's how we were raised and you should've accepted it, Raven, and I listen to you now because you beat her in a fight and I follow her because I've been beaten more than I've won against her." Summer looked at him and then shock invaded her features.

"Oh, no," she whispered, "I've only solidified your views, I beat Raven and now she listens and you are far less irritating than before."

"Hey! I'll have you know Professor Sparrow also has our respect, even if I think he's a cocky bastard, I'd still follow whatever he asks me to do."

Summer turned to look at the Professor and saw he was still dancing with that Faunus girl, "He is pretty interesting isn't he?" she asked, switching gears from Raven.

"Yeah, honestly I thought all teachers would be stuck up, like that girl over there," he pointed towards a blonde girl moving towards Raven, "I think her name was, Godswitch?"

"Glynda Goodwitch." Summer affirmed.

"Yeah, she's basically what I thought most teachers would be like."

Summer looked towards Glynda and watched as she tore into Raven with a stern expression, Raven backed off slightly as she knew perfectly what her semblance could do and Qrow was sure she didn't want to be tossed out the window.

"Yeah well, Professor Sparrow definitely beats her in intimidation factor." Qrow looked at Summer questioningly.

"What do you mean, the guy ain't scary." Summer looked at him like he was insane.

"What do you mean he isn't scary, he tore us all apart in his spars!" Qrow did wince at the reminder, "My semblance was backhanded, literally I may add, right back at me!" Qrow remembered that day, Summer had to go to the nurse's office for a severe bruise on her midsection, "He stopped a punch from Tai with his cane, and then punched him hard enough to shatter his scales!" Qrow remembered Raven and Summer having to lug Tai off out of the arena because of that, "His second spar with Glynda showed their first spar was nothing more than him testing her limits as she was stopped when he blitzed her and took her down with a choke hold!" Ohhh he remembered that one, Sparrow had shocked him with that move, "And the less I say about you and Raven the better."

Qrow stayed quiet, thinking about what Summer just said and he came to the realization that, yes Professor Sparrow is, in fact, more intimidating than Glynda. The realization made him glance toward the Professor, still dancing with that girl.

/-/

Sparrow would gladly admit the night was going well. Currently, he was standing on the balconies overlooking the dance floor, Tsune had something come up and had to leave. He sipped the cocoa mix from his flask and got some questioning looks from the foreign exchange students and honestly he couldn't wait for the first combat class they'd be in. He was gonna leave a very long-lasting impression on these students, he chuckled darkly.

Tonight had been nice, he kept Oz from causing chaos, and no one started a fight-well Goodwitch stopped one that was close to happening. It was an alright night, he just hoped Ladies Man's disappearance doesn't mean anything. The kid left towards an outside balcony earlier that night and hasn't been seen since.

Sparrow probably wouldn't care as much if it weren't for the fact that last year several students had left through that hall and almost every girl in that group had left Beacon with a passenger to arrive in nine months, so he decided it was probably best to make sure nothing was happening. Sparrow would strangle the blonde if he got someone pregnant.

Sparrow walked through the hall and as he got closer to the balcony, he noticed a few things had been put up near the door, one of those things being a stanchion rope divider he was sure was meant to be used for the entrance. He got closer and he could hear muffled noises coming from the balcony, he sighed, "How the hell do kids keep thinking the balcony is a good private place for sex? I mean come on."

He thought about the options he had, A) he could probably tell Oz and get him to break the two up, B) he could just let it happen as he was sure he had heard Xiao-Long's teammates talk about something about this occurring before, C) he could just open the door and scold them for it.

What to choose? Sparrow thought as the groans got a little louder, "Fuck it." he said before kicking the door open.

Two yells echoed through Sparrow's ears as he got a look at the two students, Taiyang Xiao-Long was accounted for but his partner..not so much, "Tsune?" Sparrow asked, genuinely surprised at who was with Xiao-Long.

She chuckled as she used her now discarded dress to cover her modesty, "Haha hey Professor." she said rather calmly for someone just caught in the act.

"Really, Tsune this," he gestures towards an embarrassed Xiao-Long, "was the thing that came up."

Tsune didn't even look slightly sheepish, "What? It was important, the first should always be important."

"*Sigh* Okay one, didn't need to know that, two, do that in a locked bedroom or an alleyway, three, your first shouldn't be with a guy who's probably lost his to a dare."

Sparrow ignored Xiao-Long's indigent squawk, "At the very least tell me you wore protection."

"I'm training to be a nurse Professor, I'm not an idiot." She huffed. Sparrow continued looking at her.

"So.."

"Yes."

"Good, now you should probably get to your dorms, Dance's over for you two." Sparrow turned and walked back into the building, he turned and grabbed the handles to shut the door, "Also Xiao-Long," the student looked at him, his face still flushed, "good job." he gave a thumbs up and dodged a plant thrown at him before shutting the door.

Sparrow chuckled as he walked away. Tonight was definitely interesting.


I hope the One-Shot was enjoyable and consistent with the first. My idea with the future chapters will usually be a comedic slice of life for Sparrow, Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch, and Team STRQ's stay at Beacon Academy. I don't plan these out either I just start writing and hope I nail it and that's what I plan to do for future ones.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
