So this side story is for the prequels I used to put at the end of every chapter in S.Y.P.A. And I'm kinda drawing a image of Jaune with Timmy for the cover of that story too.
But to the people who haven't read the Singing Your Problems Away. The Characters are ooc since later I'm doing something with it. And this Jaune was born with wings but lost them in a tragic kidnapping. But he was also born with abilities like super strength, healing and to see through darkness.
And I own nothing but the idea for this story. And rest in piece to the people who gave us these characters and songs. Without them we wouldn't be inspired to write, draw or be creative. And never let your fear from stopping you.
"Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But they will never be you"
Freddie Mercury
Characters and songs go to their respectful owners. And I know some songs are covers but I imagine him sing those ones

Mistral
A pure black bus is passing through the forest of Mistral. Jaune is sitting down with his notebook. Writing down some ideas for a song. With Max in the bathroom.
The speakers come to life when the bus does a complete stop. "We have made it to our first stop" the bus driver says in a tired tone.
Which means he can now stretch his legs. He closes his notebook and sets it on the couch. Getting up and stretching his arms and legs before going to the exit.
Opening that door to smell that fresh air and feel that wind. He takes a step off to see they're at a gas station/market. Seeing a couple of teens outside with uniforms, going into the store. He starts to move towards the store when he feels a hand land on his shoulder. "Where do you think you're going?" Max says.
Jaune lets out a sigh before turning to see him with his eyebrow up and a questionable expression. "I was going to go and buy some snacks" he tells him before shaking his hand away from his shoulder.
"Really now" Max says while crossing his arms. He's wearing a blue button up shirt with navy blue jeans and black dress shoes. And having this golden Rolex and wedding ring.
Jaune stuffs his hands inside his black leather jacket's pockets. That's wide open, showing a dark grey shirt. His black ripped up jeans that is baggy and over his brown combat boots. What stands out is his silver skull ring and his earrings to match. His hair is in a gentleman haircut and to add to it. He dyed the tips in blue. "Yes, is something wrong with that?" he says in a serious tone.
They're in a stare off, waiting for the other to blink. But Max just blinks and rolls his eyes "Fine, but don't cause any trouble. We'll be leaving in a couple of minutes. So hurry" he tells him before going back inside the bus.
Jaune turns around and goes to the store. Ignoring the stares he got from some of the people. Going over to the fountain drinks and grabbing a forty four. "Hey mister" a child tugs his jacket to get his full on attention. Looking to his left and down, he spots a kid with a purple hoodie. And black hair with brown eyes.
He points at one of the forty four ounces cups. "Can you please give me one?" he asks with a puppy eyes. All Jaune does is chuckle and grabs him one. Handing it over, to only realize... he can't reach the fountain drinks.
Seeing the kid struggle with pouring the drink. He stops him and asks him to hand over the cup. Which the child did embarrassingly "Thank you" he says cutely.
After filling his drink, he tells the kid to pick something to snack on. Eventually he ends up buying the kid some mini donuts. And he gets a chocolate bar.
"Bruce" a woman calls the kid. Who stops sipping from his straw. "What have I told you about waiting for me outside the bathroom door?"
Bruce turns to his mother and pouts sadly "I was thirsty" he shamefully says.
"And how did you pay for those?" he slowly points at Jaune. Who chuckles at how adorable he looks right now.
She looks at Jaune, and looks him up and down. Concern written all over her face. Thinking he might be in a bandit group by his appearance. "Jaune, hurry up-" Max stops when he sees the look on her face. And then he looks at Bruce and Jaune.
Not wanting to cause a scene, he walks up to Jaune. "We should head out, the driver is getting something to snack on. But once he's done, we need to go" Bruce looks at Max.
"Are you famous?" he asks. Seeing the suit Max is wearing. Only seeing celebrities wearing those kinda clothes.
"No, I'm just a ag-", "He's Violet's agent and I'm his roadie" Jaune interrupts Max. Getting a small glare from him.
But seeing Bruce's wide eyes from the revelation. He eventually turns to his mother "Mama!, they know Violet. We can ask if Violet can visit Harper at the hospital!"
"Dear, they're busy-" she tried to explain how they're busy. But Bruce ignores her and looks at Jaune.
"Pppplllleeeeeaaaasssssseeeee, can Violet go see my cousin. She likes him a lot and-", "Bruce" his mother interrupts him. He looks up to her and can see there's arguing. Tears forming on the side of his eyes.
"Hey, hey, no crying alright" Jaune says in a gentle voice. Lowering himself to his level, seeing how emotional he is. Reminding him of himself when he was four.
"How about I go and get one of his autograph shirts we have on the bus" he tells him. Standing up patting his head. "Wait here" he tells them.
"Jaune?" Max says, seeing Jaune going to the bus. But he has a feeling of what he's going to pull. Changing into Violet and coming back here. Maybe to talk to the kid and possibly ask if he can video chat with his cousin.
Jaune turns around but keeps walking backwards to the exit. "It's fine, I'll ju-" a gun shot erupts through the whole store. With a bullet hitting him on the back. Causing him to tense up, but two more shots hit him. Which he falls forward and lands flat.
"JAUNE!" Max tries to go over to him. But three men come in with guns. By their clothing, they're from Branwen tribe. Which leads him to stop in his tracks.
Eventually they're lead to the other side of the store. With one of them staying with them, making sure nobody plays the hero. While the other two are making sure the store owner gives them all his valuables.
"Put everything in the bag, money, scrolls, jewelry" he says. Before tossing the bag to Max. He throws everything inside the bag, passing it along.
Once the bag is full, the bandit grabs it and is displeased by how light it feels. But before he could say anything to them. He hears one of the doors from the drinks open. Causing him to go check it out.
Leaving the hostages alone, which gives them the chance to try to escape.
Walking towards the door that's left open. He goes over and closes it. Looking around to see nobody. He goes back, almost reaching the hostages. Someone's hand quickly moves to grab him by the wrist and pulls him in. Causing him to drop his handgun, which brought this new found fear.
"Wha-" Jaune comes out from the corner and grabs him by the neck. Lifting him up with no struggle "You fucked with the wrong store". His voice deepened with an ounce of venomous. When the bandit's hand goes to his sleeve, Jaune reacts negatively. By just tossing him to one of the glass doors that keep the cold in the fridge for the drinks.
Hearing the glass shatter, with some of the sodas burst by the impact of the bandit's body crashing into them or hitting the floor. The sound startles everyone in the store. One of the bandits walks towards the sound. To only be met with Jaune's fist to his face.
Jaune seeing the flicker of his aura shine to protect his face. Gives him the green light to let loose. Not holding back his punches to a degree that might rip his head off from his body if he didn't have aura.
He kicks in his leg and sees him leaning forward. So he grabs his face and pulls him in. Seeing his face light up by the force of his grip. He moves forward and slams his head down to the cemented floor. Hearing the floor crack from the impact. And seeing his aura shatter by the force of his slam.
Hearing a gun go off, and feeling something hitting his shoulder. The smell of his blood makes his blood boil. So he throws himself to the side and take cover from the other shots. Landing on the chips section, feeling the chips rain down on him.
Waiting for the shooter to reload. So once he hears the click, he runs to the end of the section. And opens one of the glass doors and grabs a soda and shakes it. But sadly the gunner opens fire. Barely gracing his leg, he ducks and runs as fast as he can.
Feeling one bullet hit his forearm. Pure rage takes over, so once he hears the clicking again. Not wasting time, he stands up and throws the can of soda. Managing to hit the gunner's face. Seeing the can explode from the pressure, splashing his face.
Jaune runs towards him and starts to punch his face and body hard enough to shatter his aura. But by the rage he feels cursing through his veins. He grabs him by the shirt and throws him out the window.
"Wow" he hears someone say behind him. He turns to see the hostages with Max outside. Looking at him, with Bruce having wide eyes of amazement. But that all changes when they hear growling.
Not wasting anymore time "EVERYONE IN THE BUS!" he screams for them to start running. Which thankfully they did, with Max and the driver going ahead of them, but with Jaune ahead of them. Seeing Beowolves charging at them. Most likely being attracted by everyone's fear and his rage.
One of the Beowolfs jumps at Jaune, ready to bite his head off. But Jaune moves fast enough to go under him and grab him by the tail. And pulls hard enough to swing him at the second one. Using him as a weapon to keep the beasts away. But eventually he throws him at one of them.
Max opening the bus and making sure to see everyone enter. Once everyone is inside, he turns to see Jaune fight back. Throwing punches and grappling some of them. Killing at least three before one of them lands a slash at his torso. "JAUNE!" Max's body moves on it's own. But seeing Jaune roaring a animalistic roar before punching the grimm's head off with one powerful swing.
Causing the others to retreat, making some of the people inside the bus to feel confused. Never seeing or even hearing about Grimm running away. But Max runs to Jaune and catches him.
"Are you alright?" he asks. The only answer from him is a thumbs up. He moves his hand to his ripped shirt. "Is it healed?" Jaune nods and starts to limp towards the bus.
Getting looks from the teens and children. They stare at the blood dripping from his wounds. But in reality, they're closed already. Just the blood sliding down because of the rain.
Eventually Max helped Jaune to his back room. While the bus continues driving to its destination. But with ten new people. It's at least three more hours before they make it. So all the passengers find something to distract themselves.
A couple of minutes pass before Jaune comes back outside with a new grey shirt. Leaving his ripped shirt and jacket in his room. Feeling better after taking a shower. His wounds completely closed, but left some nasty scars. Thankfully the bullets weren't a pain in the ass to pull out.
"You!" Bruce shouts for everyone to turn and see him. He just waves at them with a blank expression. Hearing all their praise for him, saving their lives. But Bruce the only one saying he was like a superhero. The way he beat the bandits or fought off the Grimm.
While the kid goes off and keeps reenacting the way he fought. Even adding some sound effects. But he does a complete stop when he hears thunder. Moving towards his mother, who embraces him.
"That's some nasty weather" the girl with green hair says. Causing Jaune to look at the window and see the rain. And then he turns to see Bruce shaking a bit. Remembering how he would react to thunder at his age. But thankfully he had his Uncle Cash there to calm him down.
Which leads him to go back to his room and grab one of the guitars he has. Coming back out, he moves to the couch and sits at the end. He starts to tone it before getting comfortable "Alright, who here hates the rain?" seeing Bruce shakily raise his hand.
"Then you're lucky, cause I know a song that can help" he cracks his neck before finishing his toning. And then checks his time with his scroll "I wrote this song way back... when I used to sing at the park. But for it to work" he looks at Bruce and gives him a gentle smile.
"You must sing this when I give you the nod. Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun". After getting some conformation Bruce. He starts playing.
"Take a photograph, it'll be the last. Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here" Bruce gets closer. "I don't have a past, I just have a chance. Not a family or honest plea remains to say" Max leans on his chair.
Jaune looks at the window "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun" some of the teens tap their feet's to his beat. "Is it you I want, or just the notion of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around. Safe to say from here, you're getting closer now. We are never sad, cause we are not allowed to be" he stops and looks at Bruce and gives him the nod.
"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun" Bruce and his mother sing along with him. "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun" the rest of them sang with them. Before Jaune gave them the signal to stop.
"To lie here under you is all that I could ever do. To lie here under you is all. To lie here under you is all that I could ever do. To lie here under you is all" he gives them the signal to sing along again. "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun" unknown to them, the rain starts to fade away. "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. All the world is waiting for the sun. All the world is waiting for the sun. All the world is waiting for the sun" once done, the rain stops completely.
Jaune looks at the window and can see a bit of sunshine piercing through the dark clouds. Which leads Bruce to look outside and see it too. With the rest doing the same. They all turn to him instantly. But all he does is smirk "I'm a wizard" he playfully joked.
Time went by, with Bruce telling him about his cousin. Whose in the hospital for leg surgery. And how much she babysit to get enough to go to Violet's concert. But she broke her leg in soccer practice.
So once they drop everyone at the city. Jaune asks Bruce's mother which hospital they're going to be at. She told him and apologizes for her behavior back at the gas station. But he understood why she acted like that.
Eventually they went their separate ways. But not before giving Bruce two shirts of Violet, with signatures.

Concert
"Look big bro, there's a lot of fans out there" Jamie says. As she takes a peek at the side of the stage. Jaune has Jade on his shoulders, with her eating some cotton candy. Jane is by their side, taking photos of Jaune and Jade. While Alfred is behind them, being the caretaker of the D'Arcs.
"And why wouldn't there be. Big bro is awesome!" Jade shouts with the proudest tone she can muster. Earning herself a chuckle from her brother and some giggles from her sisters.
Jaune checks his scroll for the time. Seeing he still has an hour before the concert starts. "How about we go to the festival for a couple of minutes?" he asks them. Getting nothing but agreements from everyone. He leads the way to the games area.
For twenty minutes he spend winning games for his baby sister. Getting her many stuff animals. What makes him happy, is the fact she would give some of them away to other kids who didn't win one.
He would win any game that is about strength in throwing or actual test of strength. But when it came to shooting or more gentle games with focus. He stood no chance, but thankfully Jamie and Jane are here with them. Those two always have perfect focus.
But Alfred dominated the shooting ranges. Causing some of the on goers to stop and see his performance. There was even some challengers... but no one stood a chance.
Now they stopped at a corn dog stand with tables for customers. Sitting down next to Jade who is devouring her first corn dog. And watching Alfred examining his. "So Jaune" Jamie leans on the table. "What is this we hear about a blonde guy fighting bandits at a gas station, outside the town" she says with a knowing smile.
Jaune acts dumb "I have the foggiest idea of what you mean" he says. Picking up a corn dog and munching on it.
"But dear sister" Jane does the same as Jamie. Leaning on the table "Don't forget the Grimm that showed up afterwards".
"Man these rumors are getting out of hand nowadays" Jaune says as he picks up another corn dog.
"And don't forget the singing he did to get rid of the rain!" Jade said with her mouth full. Causing Jaune to roll his eyes at this.
"But don't forget of the description of the person, children" Alfred says. Putting down the corn dog and looking at Jaune. "Blonde male, towering around six one and having blue eyes. And having long hair on the top with faded sides" Jaune looks at him. "Having a black leather jacket and-"
"Okay, it was me... you guys haven't told mom and dad, right?" he asks them. Which all four shake their heads. Which he lets out a sigh of relief.
"But what really happened, and did you sing the rain away?" Jade asks.
"Nope, the team at Kings checked and doubled checked the weather and they had a hundred percent that the rain would end at one in the afternoon" he says with a smile. The small time they had together, was spend explaining what happened. So now Jaune is wearing his suit and disguise in his dressing room. With his sisters there, listening to him going on about Bruce and his cousin.
"You should go see her" Jane says, with the others agreeing with her. "It would be nice. Her seeing her favorite celebrate before going through leg surgery is kinda scary. Might give her some strength to go through the operation" she says.
"You really think so?" he asks before tying his tie.
"YES!" all three shout
He looks at his reflection and then his sisters. His mind briefly goes to a eleven year old girl with red long messy hair, wearing broken glasses. Remembering her brave face... but her blue eyes. Betraying her expression, filled with fear.
"Jaune?" he snaps out of his memory of her. Jane and Jamie go over and check him. "You're crying" she says. He refocuses on his reflection and sees what she means. So he wipes away the tears and slaps his cheeks a couple of times.
"Sorry about that... I'll go see her after the concert" Jade goes and tugs on his forearm. So he stops slapping himself and looks at her.
"You got this big bro" she climbs on top of his lap and hugs him. "We're here for you" returning the hug. But eventually they left to be in the V.I.P section.
So now he's standing on the side. Waiting for his turn on the stage. And while he's doing that, he thinks of everything. What lead him here and what motivates him. A promise to someone who saved him. "VIOLET!" the fans cheering makes him switch his personality instantly. "This one is for you... Violet" he runs on stage and slides to the center. Before standing up fast and doing a front flip, and sticking the landing.
He turns on the earpiece and hears all their cheers. His eyes briefly turn to his family and gives them his signature smile and a wink. He snaps his fingers and music starts.
"Ah, yeah, ah, yeah. I got this feelin' inside my bones. It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on. All through my city, all through my home. We're flyin' up, no ceilin', when we in our zone" stops snapping, and starts dancing.
"I got that sunshine in my pocket. Got that good soul in my feet. I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)" he slides to the side and does a spin. Before getting closer to the edge.
"I can't take my eyes up off it, movin' so phenomenally. Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop" Jade starts to dance with the twins doing the same.
"And under the lights when everything goes. Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close. When we move, well, you already know. So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine" Violet dances more smoothly and passionate when the beat drops.
"Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance. Feel a good, good creepin' up on you. So just dance, dance, dance, come on. All those things I shouldn't do. But you dance, dance, dance. And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin' I can't stop the feelin" the crowd dances along with him as best as they can. With only so much space.
"So just dance, dance, dancez I can't stop the feelin' So just dance, dance, dance, come on" Alfred moves his head to the beat, while standing next to Jane.
"Ooh, it's something magical It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushin' on (rushin' on) I don't need no reason, don't need control (need control) I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone 'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket. Got that good soul in my feet. I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)" Max just taps his foot to the beat "Forgot how catchy this song is" he tells himself.
"I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally. Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop (stop, stop, stop)" the lights go off, with a spot light on him.
"Under the lights when everything goes. Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close. When we move, well, you already know. So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine. Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance" Jade stops to see her big brother dance.
"Feel a good, good, creepin' up on you. So just dance, dance, dance, come on. All those things I shouldn't do. But you dance, dance, dance. And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin' I can't stop the feelin. So just dance, dance, dance. I can't stop the feelin' So just dance, dance, dancez I can't stop the feelin' So just dance, dance, dance. I can't stop the feelin' (yeah) So keep dancin', come on" the lights come back. And Violet signals his sisters to follow his lead.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. I can't stop the, I can't stop the. I can't stop the, I can't stop the. I can't stop the feelin" Jane and Jamie get ready for that beat to drop.
"Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance (I can't stop the feelin') Feel the good, good, creepin' up on you. So just dance, dance, dance, come on (I can't stop the feelin') All those things I shouldn't do. But you dance, dance, dance (dance, dance, dance) (I can't stop the feelin') And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin' Everybody sing (I can't stop the feelin')" once that beat drops. The three D'Arcs dance in sync.
"Got this feeling in my body (I can't stop the feelin') Got this feeling in my body (I can't stop the feelin') Wanna see you move your body (I can't stop the feelin') Got this feelin' in my body" Jade tries to dance like them. But she stops when she sees Violet spin and stopping. While pointing at them with a smirk.
"Break it down, Got this feelin' in my body (ah) Can't stop the feelin' Got this feelin' in my body, come on (ooh)" he stops and hears their screams of excitement.
He continues the show with many of his music. Dancing, singing really makes him feel alive. And knowing his beloved sisters and Alfred are among the fans. Truly makes him happy. So the fans deserve a single he hasn't passed to Josh's team.
"For being such a good crowd of fans. I'll sing you a song I've been holding onto" he turns to Max and gives him the wink. To start the music file he hand him before hanging out with his family.
He gets closer to the edge "I wrote this song about the very first girl I fell in love with". His thoughts go to a curly brown hair with those beautiful blue eyes. Elisabeth, his first love and the one that got away.
His eyes get a little bit emotional by the reminder. "We both fell in love with each other. But there was always something keeping us apart... like it was not meant to be" he confesses. Thinking of how he missed it up.
Shaking it off, he looks at the ocean of fans. "We accidentally fell in love" he says. And then music starts with Violet nodding to the beat.
"So she said what's the problem baby. What's the problem I don't know. Well maybe I'm in love (love) Think about it every time. I think about it. Can't stop thinking about it" he playfully slaps his forehead and shakes his head.
"How much longer will it take to cure this. Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love) Makes me want to turn around and face me. But I don't know nothing about love, oh" he acts like he's frustrated and turns away from the crowd.
"Come on, come on. Turn a little faster. Come on, come on. The world will follow after. Come on, come on. Because everybody's after love" he throws his head back slowly. With the eyes looking up to the ceiling.
He quickly turns around and walks around "So I said I'm a snowball running. Running down into the spring that's coming all this love. Melting under blue skies. Belting out sunlight. Shimmering love" Jade stares at her brother with admiration by his passion.
"Well baby I surrender. To the strawberry ice cream. Never ever end of all this love. Well I didn't mean to do it. But there's no escaping your love, oh" Jane and Jamie dance to the beat.
"These lines of lightning mean. We're never alone. Never alone, no, no. Come on, come on" Violet waves them to come along.
"Move a little closer. Come on, come on. I want to hear you whisper. Come on, come on. Settle down inside my love, oh" Alfred looks at how many fans lean on their partner. Which brings a smile to him.
"Come on, come on. Jump a little higher. Come on, come on. If you feel a little lighter. Come on, come on. We were once upon a time in love" Violet goes back to the center of the edge.
"We're accidentally in love", "Repeat with me as best as you can!" he shouts to them.
They starts to sing with him "Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love. Accidentally" he raise his hand for them to stop.
"I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. Accidentally. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. Accidentally" he waves them again.
Which every new what was coming, so they sing with him again. "Come on, come on, Spin a little tighter. Come on, come on. And the world's a little brighter. Come on, come on" he raises his hand again.
"Just get yourself inside her, Love, I'm in love" he sang the last part with only a hint of sadness.
His fans start to shout in admiration for the new song. But his eyes land on his family. Seeing Jane and Jamie lifting up Jade on their shoulders. With her shouting out his name and that smile. Really brightens his heart. But seeing Alfred clapping and giving him a small smile and nod of approval. Really makes his night.
"THANK YOU!" he shouts with the biggest smile. Taking bows and blowing kisses to the crowd of fans. He walks away and goes to the exit before Max could stop him.

Hospital
Bruce is telling his cousin the story of Jaune saving them. With his hands moving around, acting out some scenes. With Harper laughing or smiling at his exaggeration acting. While their mothers sit by their side with the two shirts from Jaune on their laps. "And then he threw the bandit through the window and said 'See you later, punk'. Like a super hero!" Bruce shouts with a serious expression. Causing his cousin, mother and aunt giggle at his story telling.
The alarm goes off in her scroll. Reminding her to head back home after Violet's performance. She's happy that her family kept her occupied. But she placed the alarm before ending here. To show her parents that she will remember to head back and not spend all night out at the festival. She turns off the alarm and looks at her screensaver. A image of Violet with a ukulele.
She would have kept staring at the image but some one knocks at the door. "I'll get it" Timmy says as he goes and opens it. His reaction gets her attention as he starts to point at the person on the other side. "It's you!", "Yes" the visitor's voice sounds familiar. "Can I come in?" and that's when everyone's eyes go wide.
When Violet sticks his head through the door frame. With this big smile that shines brightly, illuminating her heart. "V-V-Violet" she manages to say before Bruce lets him in. "Hey there Harper" some how her eyes got wider.
Giving the mothers a wave before going over to her bed side. "H-how do you know-", "My friend told me about a sweet little kid who told him about his cousin being in the hospital. And that she really wanted to come to my concert" Bruce goes over to stand on the other side.
"You mean Jaune?" he asks with the biggest smile.
"You bet, he told me how brave you were at the gas station. The way you held your mother to keep her safe. And how you helped him to make the rain stop" he says happily. Causing Bruce to smile even wider.
Time went by with Violet talking to them. Telling them about his music and how much he loves his fans. Bruce kept asking about Jaune. But eventually Violet told them he had to go. So he pulls out his scroll and looks for a audio file for a song. Eventually he found the one and sets it on the bed. With Harper holding Bruce, who is leaning on her. And their mothers sitting at the chairs.
Violet stands on the other side of the room and tells Bruce to hit play. Music starts with Violet getting ready.
"Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder. Don't you know?" he points at Harper. And dusts his shoulder.
"The hardest part is over, Let it in. Let your clarity define you. In the end. We will only just remember how it feels. Our lives are made. In these small hours. These little wonders. These twists and turns of fate" Bruce leans closer to his favorite cousin.
"Time falls away. But these small hours. These small hours, Still remain" The mothers love seeing their children bonding.
"Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you. Let it shine 'Til you feel it all around you. And I don't mind. If it's me you need to turn to. We'll get by" he goes over and stands beside them. And taps his chest, with a emotional smile.
"It's the heart that really matters in the end. Our lives are made. In these small hours. These little wonders. These twists and turns of fate. Time falls away. But these small hours. These small hours, Still remain" seeing their smiles, really makes him happy to be here.
"All of my regret. Will wash away somehow. But I cannot forget. The way I feel right now" Bruce looks into his eyes. Seeing how warm, and gentle they look.
"In these small hours, These little wonders. These twists and turns of fate. Yeah, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away. Yeah, but these small hours. And these small hours, Still remain. Yeah, oh, oh. Oh, they still remain. These little wonders. Oh, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away. But these small hours. These little wonders, Still remain" the music still goes on, slowly fading away. Violet gentle pats Bruce's head.
Remembering how his Uncle Cash would do that. And it always made him feel special... worthy.
His scroll rings with Max's name on display. So Violet stops and picks up his scroll and turns it off. "As much as I would like to stay longer. I have a bus to catch" he tells them.
"We understand... Violet" Harper says with a truly happy smile. He doesn't know why but he leans forward and kisses her forehead. Causing her to blush.
He pulls away and looks at her "You take care Harper. Remember how lucky you are, for having this little guy" he ruffles Bruce's hair. Causing a fit of giggles from him.
But he stops and keeps his hand on his head. "And you keep being the brave boy I heard so much about" with some final pats on his head. He goes over and bows to the mothers and leaves. Coming out of the room and walking down the hall.
"VIOLET!" the nurse shouts as she moves towards him. "Oh boy" he says before he had to talk to her. It didn't take long for the whole hospital know he's here. Some of the nurses asking if he could visit some of the patients. As much as he would rather rest. He couldn't say no, so he performed for the children. And spoke to each one till they tired themselves.
He manages to escape some of the very flirty nurses and doctors. He took off his disguise and got a taxi.

Later that night
Jaune is carrying his suitcase with Max talking to some of the workers. When Max catches a glimpse of him, walking all casual. He walks towards him "Where the fuck have you been?!". He gives him a chance to explain himself but he just shrugs. Causing Max to slap his forehead in frustration.
"Unbelievable" he says before moving behind him and starts to push him towards the new bus. "As much as I would like to chew your ear off. We need to hit the road and hopefully there's no more bandits or grimm attacking us" Jaune laughs at how frustrated he sounds.
"Chill man, I was just visiting a fan at the hospital... and I was spending some time with the other patients when the nurses discovered me" he tells him. He didn't see it, but Max's frown becomes a smile. "But I thought Jade or Jane would have told you" he says before hopping in the bus.
Once he turns he sees Max with a full blown smile. "No, I didn't get a chance to talk to them before they left. But I had a feeling... and this article helped" he pulls up his scroll with a picture of Violet singing for a group of kids. The picture made Jaune's heart feel warm.
"That's fast, and a nice picture... remind me to get a poster made for me. When we get back from the tour" Max agrees. "But it sucks we didn't get no footage for the music video tho" Jaune says before throwing himself on the couch.
He looks out through the window. Seeing the trees and remembering his Nana. Who would always promise him to bring him here. Always saying Mistral is such a beautiful place. Looking up, to see those shining stars.
