"Now Jaune, remember to hold it like this" a older man with grey hair that's slick back and has brown eyes. His attire is a black suit with no tie. At the moment he's teaching a four year old Jaune how to hold a guitar. "Okay" he says with a cute voice while adjusting his hands on the guitar. Once he manages he looks up at his uncle "Look uncle Cash, I did it!" he shouts happily. Earning a head pat from his favorite uncle and a smile "That's my kid". He uncontrollably starts to flop his wings in joy. "Now what are two of my favorite people doing this fine evening?" Jaune turns instantly and takes flight "Nana look" he stops in front of her with the guitar still in hand. He briefly looks down to his achievement and looks up to see his Nana disappear. "Nana?" he looks around to see the beautiful garden he would spend with his uncle and grandmother change into his cell. The guitar disappears and he falls to the floor, landing on the stain hay. "NANA!" he gets up and starts to look around to only see the rusty iron walls. "UNCLE CASH!" knowing what's about to happen, he falls onto his knees. Having his back towards the door, he didn't see but heard the door open. The room might smell like feces but he can smell the alcohol from the person.
Eventually he's push to the ground, burying his face into the hay. Feeling him touching him till a gunshot is heard and said person falls on him. "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT HIM!" he felt the body move over and a hand snatch him by his hair. "HES OFF LIMITS!" Jaune sees the dead body laying there with a bullet hole on his forehead. But the most notable thing is his pants nearly undone. He's then pulled up by his hair and is now face to face with the very man whose responsible of torturing him. "I don't want my little pet to be treated like one of-" he turns to the dead body "YOUR WHORES!". He then rises the gun and fires the remaining bullets into his head. Leaving nothing that resembles a head but a puddle of smash meat, bone and teeth. Tears sliding down his cheeks and sobbing made his kidnapper to throw him to the floor. It didn't take long for Jaune to crawl away but what he didn't know was there still remain one bullet in the chamber *BANG!*
--
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" *thump* he grabs his right leg and holds it instinctively. "Jaune!" Pyrrha shouts as she wakes up. The lights turn on, showing Jaune fell on the floor, who is still holding his leg. He looks around to see Ren is the one up and probably turned on the lights. Slowly he lets go and gets up from the floor, all sweaty and hyperventilating. Nora is still asleep, being the heavy sleeper she's known to be. Pyrrha has bed hair and dry saliva on the side of her mouth. But she's wide awake by his scream for sure. "Another nightmare?" Ren asks with concern present in his voice. Jaune just nods and walks by him "I'm going to the kitchen to make me something to calm the nerves". He didn't wait to hear them or to see anyone's eyes right now. Opening the door to see one pissed off Weiss and Yang with bed hair standing there. "This is the fourth time this month Arc" Weiss says. "Yea Vomite Boy, I need my energy today. So keep your screams down" her eyes turn red and glare at him. "Sorry" he pushes by them, not caring if he might get sucker punch by Yang. But it never came, so he continues to his objective. A kitchen is build into every floor, for students to use when ever.
But he doesn't go in to the kitchen but passes right by it. After leaving the dormitory area, he heads straight for the gym. Once inside he sees it's barely three in the morning. But he didn't care, he just puts on his workout clothes. A blue hoodie that covers his arms and then grey sweat pants with white sneakers. He doesn't waste time, going to the weight room to release stress. First he stretches to loosen up his muscles. After that he goes and turns on a speaker and selects a station. He didn't know how long he's been there. But eventually some students came in to get their morning training in. He didn't pay them no mind since he has his hoodie up. And he's selected the corner of the gym to have a bench all for himself. The only thing that annoyed him was someone changed the radio station. But he just continues his work out to finish. His last work out is benching. As everyone is doing their own thing, he knew some of them are super strong by their aura. So it won't be out of ordinary to see someone bench two thousand. He's seen Nora nearly lift that. So he places the weights and goes to lay on the bench table. Before he could start, a song starts that he recognizes. A song he made as a single for Fallen Angel.
The meaning behind the song made his blood boil and grabs the bar. About his family treating him like a fucking fragile person. Making him go to therapists to get better. His grip tightens around the bar, remembering the feeling of writing it. "Yeah" he pushes the bar up and starts pumping iron. "I wake up every morning with my head up in a daze. I'm not sure if I should say this, fuck, I'll say it anyway. Everybody tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase. I don't know if it's a phase, I just wanna feel okay, yeah", "Hey turn it up!" someone shouts. And the music gets louder "I battle with depression, but the question still remains. Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage? And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase. Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay?" Images come to him of all the bullshit doctors would say about him. "Yeah, I struggle with this bullshit every day. And it's probably 'cause my demons simultaneously rage. It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me 'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out" unknown to him. Some of his classmates notice his exercise. "I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer. I'm a popular, popular monster. I break down, falling into love now with falling apart" memories of the three girls who hurt him. "I'm a popular, popular monster" some of the huntsmen go over to see him bench. Amaze to see someone bench as much without stopping or struggling.
"I think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze. Every wall that I knock down is just a wall that I replace. I'm in a race against myself, I try to keep a steady pace. How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case?" He starts to pump faster and more aggressive. "Oh my God, I keep on stressing, every second that I waste. Is another second sooner to a blessing I won't take. But my therapist will tell me that I'm going through a stage. Yeah, it's not a fucking stage, I just wanna feel okay, okay" they can see the bar bending by the weights. "Motherfucker, now you got my attention. I need to change a couple things 'cause something is missing. And what if I were to lie? Tell you everything is fine. Every single fucking day I get closer to the grave, I am terrified. I fell asleep at the wheel again. Crashed my car just to feel again. It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me 'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out" Sun and Neptune got closer to see whose benching, but they couldn't see his whole face by the hood, just his mouth and chin. "I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer. I'm a popular, popular monster. I break down, falling into love now with falling apart" he sits up and pushes the bar over his head and keeps repeating it. "I'm a popular, popular fucking monster", "Dude's a monster" Sun tells Sage, who only nods. "Yeah, here we go again, motherfucker, oh. We're sick and tired of wondering. Praying to a god that you don't believe. We're searching for the truth in the lost and found. So the question I ask is. Oh, where the fuck is your god now?" And then Jaune's grip takes it's toll on the bar. Breaking it and making the weights hit the floor. "'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out. I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer. I'm a popular, popular monster. I break down, falling into love now with falling apart. I'm not a popular, popular monster" Jaune drops the bar and leans forward. "I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer. I'm a popular, popular monster"
Once the song's over, Jaune stands up and pulls the hoodie forward. To keep the top part of his face covered. He turns around and lowers his head and walks to the locker room to change back to his onesie. Ignoring the stares from everyone in the room. When he finally left the weight room. Roy goes over to see the bar and sees where he snapped it.
Jaune doesn't waste time in changing into his onesie. He goes back to his dorm and notices Pyrrha is long gone. Leaving Ren and Nora getting ready for today. At the time is Nora whose already in her school uniform. She's listening to music on her earphones while looking through something on her scroll. He goes to get his uniform and takes a seat on his bed and waits for his turn on the shower. After hearing the door open up and Ren walking out. He gets up and goes in to take a shower in hopes to ease his muscles. He always makes sure to lock the door twice. Takings off his onesie and glancing at his reflection every time. To remind himself of the hell he's gone through. Once he stops himself going down that hole, he goes inside the shower and starts to clean himself.

Timmy wakes up from his bed and gets this big smile. Hoping off the bed to go and sit near the entrance. Waiting to see if Violet will show up today. But before he could go, he reaches under his bed and pulls out a ukulele that's broken. But it still works and the strings are fine. He got it yesterday from mother Mira and he wants Violet to show him how to play the guitar. Once he's wearing his brown shorts and white shirt with black sneakers. He runs towards the entrance and sits on the floor with the brightest smile. Time went by as nuns walk by him and see him keeping his excitement. Eventually some time went by, his excitement starts to vanish. Mira sees this and walks beside him and kneels down. "He's not coming today is he?" he says as his ears go down. Seeing him like that brought a frown to her face. And hearing his stomach growling gives her an idea "How about we go to my office?". He hesitates when he looks at the door and then his stomach reminds him that he skipped breakfast. "Okay" she lifts him up with the ukulele still in his hands. They go to her office and she places him on one of the chairs. She goes over to her desk and pulls out something that made Timmy to gain his smile. "Are those?", "Yes, the last cookies from Violet. I was saving these for later but you seem to need them" she goes over and hands him the ziplock.
He opens it and smells the delicious scent and pulls out one and breaks it in half and hands one half to Mira. They eat together in her office till Timmy finishes the cookies by taking the last one. "I'll give him this, he's a great singer and baker" Mira says. He just nods while chewing, once he swallows it he gives her his puppy dog look "Can we see the video?, please~". She sighs, this is the fifteenth time she's play the video "Fine". She pulls out her scroll and goes to Dustube and selects a video of Violet's first concert. Violet's on Stage, looking a little bit tired from performing all night. "For my last song I would dedicate this last song to someone special to me" he closes his eyes and takes a breather before opening them. "When your heart is weak and vulnerable (Oh I'll be there) When you're all alone, don't know where to go (Oh I'll be there) When you're in doubt, I'll bring a smile. Cause you should know the sun will rise (Oh I'll be there)" he moves forward. Timmy is leaning forward, admiring eyes glued on the screen. "There are days when you're feeling low. Everything's impossible. There's just one thing that you should know. Every time when you lose hope. You don't know where to go. There's just one thing that you should know" Mira looks at Timmy, seeing how much he loves Violet.
"I'll never let you down. I'll always be around" background dancers come up from behind him, singing along side him. "When you're hurt, I'm sorry. I'll be there, don't worry. Never let you down, Never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound, I'll never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound. I'll never let you down" Timmy stands up and the chair and marches with a beat. Just like the dancers "From now until the end of time (Oh I'll be there) My handkerchief will dry your eyes (Oh I'll be there) If you need shade, l'll plant a tree. If you need help, reach out for me (Oh I'll be there)" Timmy stops when he got tired from doing that. But he remains standing, looking at how amazing he is. "Every time when you lose hope. You don't know where to go. There's just one thing that you should know. I'll never let you down. I'll always be around. When you're hurt, I'm sorry. I'll be there, don't worry. Never let you down. Never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound. I'll never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound. I'll never let you down" Violet wraps his arms around himself. Timmy doing the same, and trying to sing along in the last parts. "And when I'm old and my days are wrapped and done. Let the blanket of our memories keep you warm. My love for you is forever when I'm gone. When I'm gone, when I'm gone. I'll never let you down. When you're hurt, I'm sorry. I'll be there, don't worry. Never let you down. Never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound. I'll never let you down. I'll keep you safe and sound. I'll never let you down" the video ends.
Timmy turns to Mira "Again, Again!" he cheerfully shouts. Seeing those bright eyes and big smile. She giggles "Fine, but after this one, we need to go eat a proper meal".

Jaune's laying on his bed, watching videos of his sister's channel. Jade is in her room holding a box labeled treasure. "Hello there, my names Jade D'Arc and today I'll be showing you one of my treasures. This one is special to me, because my brother gave it to me" she then pulls out Violet's first album. It was signed by him and had a different cover then the original one. The released one just has him leaning on a brick wall. And the one she's holding, has him playing the piano with his expression showing he was losing himself to the music. "As you can see, this cover is different from the rest that were released. And there's only five of it's kind!" she says with a smile, Jaune chuckles. That was supposed to be the original release cover. But they went with Josh's idea for the brick wall. Thankfully Max had five made, two for Jaune and one went to Max's boss. The other two is a mystery to him. "And that's not all, I just got" she puts the album back in the box and pulls out a book. "A early copy of Luna's new book" she shows the front cover. It shows a silhouette of a couple on a hill. And bright stars glowing through the night sky.
"Rewrite The Stars, is her newest book which will release in two weeks" she says with a smile. Jaune laughs at how Amethyst used her own little sister to promote her book. Before ending the video he got a text from Max. He reads the message and is surprised to see a invitation to perform in Menagerie's concert. He's been invited once but Josh and the rest of the company told him he shouldn't, except Max. He knew about how Menagerie did this to rise money for the island. And orphanages for the Faunus children who are left behind after their villages were destroyed by grimm or bandits. And how many orphanages in The kingdoms dump them back to Menagerie cause they don't have enough space for them. Or how no human has ever even taken a step there. And every year there's never been a human artist attending the concert. Jaune remains thinking about his choices, he wants to help and all. But then he remembers Sienna, he would be a hypocrite if he turns down the offer. Just before he could answer he got another message explaining who was the one who send Max the invitation. Jaune then read something that got his attention, Ghira Belladonna. Jaune's hands start to shake from shock. "I can't believe it" he whispers to himself. And seeing a link to a scroll number. Made him want to click on it but he's hesitant. He kept over thinking it till he gave up and just turns of his scroll and went to get changed to go into Vale.
He wore a black button up shirt with long sleeves and blue jeans that are tight in the right places. Then he got his sweater and covered his shirt and then hides his wig and glasses in his pockets. "I just need a walk to calm my nerves is all" he tells himself.
Later in Vale
he's walking on the side walk, thinking about Ghira's offer. He could be the bigger person and accept the offer and show that some people actually care. He lasted an hour thinking about this till he saw kids playing outside with a ball. What made him smile is there's three human children and five Faunus players together. He loves seeing this, equality. Seeing a child with dog ears reminds him of a Faunus child who he promised he would see once a week. So he kept walking till he made it to the orphanage where Timmy is at. He walks in without no one noticing him. So he took off his sweater and hangs it up in a coat rack and puts on his disguise. Once done he walks in farther, coming across some nuns. After some selfie's, they lead him towards the kids. Just as he's nearing the door, he hears someone talking loudly. "Sorry for that, we have a group of Huntsmen in training here today" one of the nuns tells him. Once they open the door did his heart skip a beat. "And there were fifty beowolfs!", "There were two" Violet's eyes went wide as he saw Nora and Ren there with Flynt and his partner Neon. He notices a lot of children sitting on the floor while looking at Nora who is standing and telling her tale. Before she could continue, Neon turns to him. And he swore he had a heart attack when her eyes sparkled. "VIOLET!" She shouts as she points at him. After that, it was a colorful blur.
Some how he ends up in a tug of war between Neon and Nora. Each shouting for selfie's, autographs and his underwear?!. Thankfully Ren and Flynt came to his rescue, after some scolding and a heartfelt apology. "We're sorry" both gingers said while bowing. Violet wants to say something but a chuckle escapes his lips. "It's fine" he tells them with a small smile. Then some of the children made their way to him. He got swarmed by them which lead them to ask many questions. He answered them with a simple answer. Till Nora asks her own questions "Is it true you have feelings for Weiss Schnee?!" Violet chocks. "Sorry, what was that?" He manages to say. "Nora" Ren scolds her for asking a personal question. "No it's fine, I was just surprised by the question Ren" Violet tries to rescue Nora. But then realization hits him "How do you know his name?" Nora asks while looking at him suspiciously. Ren and the rest seem surprise as well, "don't panic, think of a lie...shit!" Violet looks around, wanting to find a way out.
Before he could think of a lie, he hears the door behind him open. Timmy and Mira, who are holding hands while Timmy is holding his pumpkin Pete in his free arm. He looks sad till his eyes see him. "You came!" he pulls his hand from Mira's hold and runs to him. Which Violet picks him up and throws him up in the air and catches him. "You came!" Timmy says repeatedly in the most adorable voice ever. Violet couldn't stop smiling while lifting Timmy up. To say his teammates and their friends forgot the whole name thing. They couldn't stop smiling by the heart warming moment. "I promised didn't I" Violet then places Timmy down. Mira walks up to them "It's good to see you again Violet and thank you for the cookies" she says. "You're welcome", "Did you bring more cookies?" Timmy asks with hope in his eyes. He looks down to him and pats his head "Sorry Timmy but I didn't". Seeing his head going down really makes him feel like crap. He glances at the children doing the same, frowning and looking down to the ground. "How about next week I make you some pies or cakes?" that seem to spark a reaction from them. "YES!" everyone shouts, even Nora and Neon.
As he's enjoying everyone's joy from getting to try his baking. Timmy tugs on his pants to get his attention. Violet looks down and sees Timmy doing his puppy dog eyes. "Whats up?", "Can you sing us a song?" He asks. Violet smiles at that simple request, and picks him up "I would but I don't have a guitar with me-". Timmy then got this smile, he was about to interrupt him. But he's beaten to the punch "We have a piano at the chapel" Mira tells him, many of the kids start to tell Violet to sing for them. He agrees, Mira lead them to the chapel. As Ren and Nora are walking behind them. Ren notices Nora sending something through her scroll.
Yang is on her bed playing a video game with her scroll. Blake too is on her bed reading her favorite book. Weiss is going through her notes on Violet's location. They know it's in the Vale Hills but it's one of the most secured place in Vale. while Ruby is sitting on the floor talking about gun maintenance with Penny and May. Then their scrolls went off showing they got a text message, from Nora in the Super Duper Violet Fan Club chat. Once they saw the message, in a matter of seconds. Team Rwby's dorm is completely empty, and many hunters and huntress got hurt by being blown away. Nothing is going to get in their way. Some of the other members join them. Glynda is the first one at the bullhead "HURRY!".
Once in the chapel, Violet got on stage and sees this classical piano. "Wow" Violet says as he took a seat and checks every key. "She's beautiful" he says, admiring the workmanship. Ren and Nora took a seat at the right side up front with Flynt and Neon. And on the left side is Timmy sitting next to Mira. To say the rest of the children and nuns sat wherever they could. Violet looks up to see a stained glass, with a golden deer. The image made him remember the stories his grandfather would tell him. About a King, who met a golden deer in his garden that promised him. Safety for his people, but in return he wanted to be worshipped by the very people he's protecting. After the war, the king was gravely injured. In his dying bed, he was visited by an angel. Who claims to be send by the God of light. The king couldn't describe her beauty. She helped him with his injuries and nursed him back to health. After he recovered he asked her to stay by his side. She became his guardian angel but most importantly. She became his queen, and they lived happily ever after. He loves the story and his grandpa loves telling it. And that's when he got an idea of which song he should play.
"Born with nothing in my hands. I stumble, upon this place. Falling through a crack in time, I was writhing in pain. When those who make it in this hate? Are only those who learn how to take" Jaune remembers his uncle Marrón who kept trying to remove his father from Grandfather's will. "And everyone is giving up, Where do we all take a breath?" Just then Team Rwby and some of the club members enter. All of Their eyes are glued to him. But they kept hyperventilating, which got some of the nuns and children to look at them. But Violet's to distracted to notice them. "Governors' and gods alike, Trying to turn the other cheek. But even if you look away, The truth is always facing you. Courage and the strength of hope, The magical, bond we share. We grow up only to forget. How we ever use them here? But same as you were on that day. I see you still standing there. Glowing in your innocence, You were always standing there. When the world turns its back on you, You find a way to stand and fight. Ready to face it all, I see you here a shining bright" Violet closes his eyes and faces up to the ceiling. The stained glass starts to shine this beautiful colors that made Violet mesmerizing to everyone in the room. "I need to know, If there's still anything that love can do? I need to know, If there's still anything that I can do?" Images of Pyrrha came to mind, when she believed in him and when they used to train together. "You are the one who found, My courage and I knew. I want to pay it back to spend it all on you. You gave me love, we share, It's all because of you. You are the reason left. We share this love with you. I need to know. If there's still anything that love can do? I need to know. If there's still anything that I can do?"
Glynda takes a step forward and so does Winter. "What if our destiny, Was just a roll of the dice. Or if it's up to the Gods, And if they feel like playing nice. A mission that we didn't choose, Like karma that we can't remove. Or maybe it's a distant wish? Something that we can't refuse. Prayers that are never heard, Reunions that never occur. Arguments that never clear, Hate that doesn't disappear. I hear the voices that forgive, I see them standing hand in hand. But with its arm, open wide. The earth embraces all again" He finally opens his eyes but remains looking up to see the beauty of the colorful rays shining down on him. The kids are amazed while the nuns hold their breaths. Ruby got closer while the rest stayed standing at the entrance mesmerized.
Ren is enjoying the performance and Nora couldn't stop feeling this strong emotion in her chest. "I need to know, If there's still anything that love can do? I need to know. If there's still anything that I can do?" Ren looks at Nora and notices something on her face. Her eyes are tearing up, so he moves his hand towards her's. Once he holds it, she tenses up, but she slowly relaxes by the feeling of his touch. Violet finally looks down to his hands playing the piano. "You are the one who found, My courage and I knew. I want to pay it back, to spend it all on you. This love we raised together, Shaped by me and you. You are the reason left. We live this love with you" he starts to tear up which made Timmy worried but then he saw him smile. "I need to know, If there's still anything that love can do? I need to know. If there's still anything that I can do?" Violet looks at everyone with his signature smile. Tears still sliding down, which made every female in the room blush. However Violet saw team Rwby and the rest of his fan club there, but he doesn't panic. So he just keeps going "So insignificant just you and me, So why are we given this dream? And if this life is just going to hell. Tell me, why are we allowed to feel hope? And if it just gonna slip back on my hands. Then why even give it to me? 'Cause ain't it sad, how we try to hold on. Knowing one day, it all be gone. Or maybe it's beautiful? Answer me!"
Then a piano solo came which made Violet focus his attention on his hands. Weiss finally found the strength to move towards him. She felt her heart beating faster. Like the first time she heard him sing in her family's musical room. Blake follows her lead and then after her is Yang. Some of the members snap out of it and follow as well. While Penny who is recording with her eyes stays behind to continue filming. "All these love songs we hear. Already, they've been sung to death. All the movies that we've seen. They said "everything they can" But somehow you and me. Fell into this wilderness, But still, I need to know" Violet turns to them once more and sees Ren holding Nora's hand. That brought him so much joy, "I hope this is the push you two need". "I need to know, If there's still anything that love can do? I need to know. If there's still anything that I can do?" Once he stops playing, he stands up and faces the crowd and takes a bow which gains him applause from everyone. He straightens himself and looks at Weiss being the one to walking towards him. "Snow angel?" he says. Weiss's whole face turns red from the nickname. Violet got off stage and walks towards Her with wide arms open. Just as he's about to hug her, she slaps him across the face. The slap echoes through the whole chapel, Thankfully Violet didn't have his aura up. He slowly moves his hand up to his cheek. His eyes are wide from the surprise slap. "You slapped" Violet says in a serious voice. Which got many shocked to hear his tone.
Weiss's bangs cover her eyes "You" she says in a cold voice. Violet unconsciously takes a step back but froze when he hears the next thing. "Left me" she says which got Violet to realize why she slapped him. After canceling his concert he never spoke to her again. She may have broken his heart during one of her father's parties. But he did promise her to contact her when he landed safely in Vacuo. And it didn't help that he may tried to forget her when he worked as a mechanic during the time the concert was postponed. He didn't contact anyone, Max or his family. All he cared was to numb the pain from getting his heart broken by his family and her. Drinking through all of that time till he finished the concert and started to do heavy drugs. And he just abandoned them like nothing. "I'm sorry Weiss, I should have called you" she then throws herself at him, hugging him so hard. Scared if she lets go, he might disappear again. She starts to cry on his chest "I was scared *sniff*" she claws her nails into his back. He flinches when he felt them so close to his scars. "I thought the White Fang took you away from me" hearing her voice so sad. He forgot about his scars on his back and returns the hug.
"Sshhh, I'm here" he leans his head on her's. After a couple of minutes Weiss calms down and Violet releases her. And moves his hand under her chin and pushes it up. Once he sees those red eyes and a couple of tears rolling down her pale white cheeks. He moves his hand to her scar, he gently touches the one on her cheek. She flinches, she didn't want him to see her scar. She moves her face away from his hand. Violet sees her expression, he could relate. Every time his sisters or parents would see his scars. It would trigger this insecurity in him. He chuckles which got everyone confuse. But Weiss is a mix of confusion and anger "Are you laughing at my scar?" She says. "No and yes" he says with a playful smile. She steps back and glares at him "What is that suppose to mean". Violet recognizes that voice, which meant "tell me now if you value your life". "Even with a scar" he leans in, with only a inch away from her face. "Your still gorgeous~" she blushes so hard, Violet is scared she might melt away.
He looks up to see the rest of her club. Awkwardly standing there "Hey Ruby" he says. "He's talking to me" Ruby says repeatedly with wide eyes. He moves around Weiss who hasn't even moved or blinked. Just as he's in front of the rest of the huntresses. He looks at Ruby broken so he moves over to Yang "Hey beautiful, sorry for crashing into you. So let's start over" he moves his hand for a hand shake. "I'm Violet" he waits for a response but nothing. Yang's heart is beating so fast, she's scared it might pop out and shake his hand for her. He waits but nothing still, so he moves towards Blake. "NNNNNOOOOOO!!!" Yang yells in her head while seeing her man moving towards another. "And you must be Blake" unlike her partner. She shakes his hand "Yes, Blake Belladonna" Violet looks surprise. Pretending not to know already. "Belladonna, are you related to Ghira Belladonna. The Chieftain of Menagerie and ex leader of the white fang?!". Blake is taken back by all this information. Everyone's attention moves from him to her. She becomes nervous till she felt her hand being held by two hands. She looks down and sees his hands holding her's. "I'm such a big fan of your father" he tells her with a smile. She's confused by what he said "I used to go to the rallies in Ansel (Sorry I don't know where his family lives) all the time". "You used to go to the rallies?!" Blake couldn't believe it, a human joined their rallies. And the best part is, it was Violet.
"Yea with a old friend of mine" he tells her with a hint of sadness. She noticed his tone going from happy to sad. "He...was arrested for-" he has flashbacks from his time with Leo. His first best friend, he's a lion Faunus, has a tail of one. Remembering going to the rallies with him. And helping him to sell some of the weed his older brother grew inside his house. Before he could go deeper into the memory, he felt someone tugging his pants. He snaps out of it and looks down to see Timmy staring up. He removes his hands from Blake's, which she kinda felt disappointed by. Violet kneels down to be on Timmy's level. Some of the huntresses lean to the side to see his ass. "Those look delicious" many of them thought. "Whats up?" Timmy looks down and then leans in to whisper something into Violet's ear. Everyone is confused and keeps wondering what Timmy is telling Violet. Once Timmy moves back did Violet's upset expression disappear. And a smile replaces it "Are you sure?" He asks. Timmy nods while looking at him with a determine look. "Okay then, let's go" Violet tells him, as he's standing up and moves his hand towards Timmy. Timmy grabs it with so much joy. They start to walk away, a couple of minutes pass before the rest follow them. Timmy leads Violet to his room which is actually the room for all the orphans. He saw these old rusty, busted beds. He felt sad, seeing the conditions of their beds.
Now that he thinks about it, they are located in the worst part of downtown. Before he could go into more details of the state of the building. Timmy releases his hand and places Pete on his bed that seems it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. He went under it and when he came back out. He's holding a ukulele, Timmy is smiling proudly. "I have a guitar!" He shouts in so much joy. Violet couldn't bring himself to tell him that it wasn't a guitar. The ukulele has scratches and on one side it had a hole. Timmy then starts to play it, but of course he didn't have any skill. But seeing his happy expression while playing the ukulele made Violet remember his first time playing the piano for Max.
--
A fifteen year old Violet could be seen sitting in front of a piano in a recording studio. Max is standing next to a young man who has blue hair, It's short. And he's wearing a black suit with a golden tie. Violet just got done playing one of his songs but Josh has this annoyed expression. "That was shit" he says in disgust. Violet looks down to the keys of the piano. Max could see the hurt in his expression, so he turns to Josh. "Why don't you cut him some slack" he says, which got a negative reaction from Josh. "Fine!, do whatever you want with this kid. I'm out of here, I got a bitch waiting for me at her place" he starts to walk away. Max got angry but he held his anger. Once he heard Josh slamming the door shut. He turns to Violet who hasn't moved. "I'm sorry" Jaune says in a shaky voice, "I'm bombing this so bad". Max sighs and made his way to sit next to him. Once he takes a seat next to him he places his hand on his shoulder. "No your not, all you have to do is get into the music", "*sniff* what do you mean?". "You can sing and play almost any instrument. But your lacking emotion with these kinda songs" Jaune looks confused "Emotion?". Max tries to figure out a way to explain it to him but he couldn't. Till he got an idea, he places his hands on the keys and turns to him. "Why don't I just show you" he says with a smirk.
He starts to play which made Jaune lean in to see his movement "I'm fifteen for a moment, Caught in between ten and twenty. And I'm just dreaming. Counting the ways to where you are" Jaune keeps looking at Max's hands playing. He looks up to see Max watching him with a smile. "I'm twenty-two for a moment. And she feels better than ever, And we're on fire. Making our way back from Mars" Amethyst walks in the recording studio. She sees Max sitting next to Jaune at the piano. She grew a smile, seeing them bond like that. "Fifteen, there's still time for you. Time to buy and time to lose, Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this. When you only got a hundred years to live" Jaune is getting into the song. "I'm thirty-three for a moment, Still the man, but you see I'm a "they". A kid on the way, babe. A family on my mind" Amethyst walks farther in and gets next to them. She's beside Jaune, but he didn't notice her. Max sees her and he blushes a little bit, but he focus on the song. "I'm forty-five for a moment, The sea is high. And I'm heading into a crisis,Chasing the years of my life" Max then faces forward and wears this big smile that can brighten up anyone's world. "Fifteen, there's still time for you, Time to buy and time to lose yourself. Within a morning star" Jaune sees Max's attention moves towards him but for some reason it looks like he's looking right above him. So he turns to see his big sister standing there. And that's when he realizes they are looking at each other.
"Fifteen, I'm all right with you, Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this. When you only got a hundred years to live. Half time goes by, Suddenly you're wise. Another blink of an eye, Sixty-seven is gone The sun is getting high, We're moving on" Jaune turns back to Max whose still staring into Amethyst's eyes for a bit. Till he looks down to see Jaune's eyes narrowing. So he snaps out of it and look forward with a mad blush. "I'm ninety-nine for a moment. And dying for just another moment, And I'm just dreaming. Counting the ways to where you are. Fifteen, there's still time for you. Twenty-two, I feel her too. Twenty-three, you're on your way. Every day's a new day" Amethyst is lost in the song just like Jaune. "Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh" Max closes his eyes and moves his head into rhythm. Jaune felt this happy feeling growing inside his chest. Max then looks at Jaune. Amethyst notices how Max is looking at her little brother. He wasn't looking at him like another project or kid. More like a brother, she looks down to see Jaune. "Fifteen, there's still time for you. Time to buy and time to choose. Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this. When you only got a hundred years to live" They remain quiet till they hear the last key. "And that Violet, is how you play a piano with your heart" Max turns his attention towards Amethyst. "Hey" he says which made her blush, "Hey" she answers back. They stay like that till Jaune gets annoyed by this. But before he could say anything, Max's scroll rings. They snap out of it, and he checks it. Seeing his wife's number. "I got to take this" he got up and moves to a corner. Jaune turns to his sister "You know he's married" he tells her in a serious tone. Amethyst avoids his eyes "I know" he could hear this pain in her voice. Max came back to them with his scroll in hand. "Sorry, that was my wife. She said that she's hosting her book club at our place".
Jaune looks at him and then at his sister. He hates seeing her like this so he got an idea. "Hey Max, do you want to come with us for dinner" he says with a smile. Max returned the smile "I'll like that very much.

"Violet?" Timmy says while standing on his bed which Violet found himself sitting at the edge. He didn't realize that he took a seat on the bed. But he looks around to see everyone standing around him. "Are you okay?" Winter asks concern present in her voice. "Yea I'm fine, I was just remembering a old friend showing me how to play-" before he could finish. A bell rings through the whole room. Which made every student, Professor and Specialist to jump. "Sorry, that's the bell to remind our children to get ready for bed" Mira tells them. Which gains many children and Nora to whine till she realizes she's off the hook. As the kids are lead to the bathrooms, which meant. Violet is alone with his fans/classmates and Professor, they remain quiet. Till Neon sat next to him on Timmy's bed. He's amazed how the bed didn't give out by their weight. "Your really good with kids Violet" she said as she got closer. Violet didn't mind but he could feel the rage pouring out from the rest. "I love kids, they're the future" he says while grabbing the ukulele that Timmy left behind. "Really now" Neon said with this predatory expression. She got close enough to move her hand to his lap. "You ever thought of having your own" she said while leaning close to his face. "Neon!" Flynt said to get his partner to back off. And to save her from the other fans who are raging on the inside.
Yang is fighting the urge to pull that bitch away from her man. "Yes, I've thought of having kids" he says while getting close to Neon. He's only an inch away from her. This scene made Weiss and Winter irritated just by looking at how close they are. Ruby held her breath and possibly some tears with some of the more emotional fans. "But not right now" he said as he pulls back, leaving a very heated kitty. He then turns to the rest of them "So, I forgot to ask but how did you girls know I was here?". "That would have been me" Nora confesses. Ren turns to his sister team "Where you girls close by?". That got them to blush "We may have demanded a bullhead pilot to fly us over here" Glynda tells him. "Really?" Violet says while trying not to laugh. Before they could continue, the children and the nuns came back. After they went to brush their teeth and get in their pajamas. They got to their respectful beds, which Neon and Violet got up from Timmy's. Timmy got on his bed and snuggles next to Pete. As they got comfortable Timmy looks at Violet whose still holding his ukulele. "Violet, could you sing us a lullaby" Timmy asks which got many to cheer for another song from him. He seems hesitant till he saw Timmy's cute eyes. He sighs in defeat and tests the strings and adjusts them. "Okay, but after this song you all go to bed" he tells them, which they agree on.
Violet starts to play and looks around to see all the kids in their beds. Mira and the rest of the nuns are watching by the door. Nora, Neon and Ruby sat on the floor with their legs crossed. The rest are standing around the room. Trying not to block any of the children's vision from him. Violet looks at Timmy, snuggling with Pete the Rabbit."Ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh. Somewhere over the rainbow, Way up high. And the dreams that you dream of. Once in a lullaby, oh, Somewhere over the rainbow. Bluebirds fly, And the dreams that you dream of. Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh". To say that Weiss couldn't stop smiling at Violet who seem last in the song. She admires the way he can get anyone's attention with just playing an instrument. But once you hear his voice, he traps you in his world. "Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops. High above the chimney tops that's where. You'll find me, oh, Somewhere over the rainbow. Bluebirds fly" Ren looks around to see some of the younger kids fighting to stay awake. But sadly it's a losing battle. Yang, Glynda and Winter keep staring at Violet more closely. How he has this look in his eyes. Promising Timmy that everything will be alright. Yang drifts her eyes to Ruby, whose also fighting to keep her eyes open too. Blake's ears couldn't stop moving in her ribbon. Her heart felt warm, seeing Violet giving his all to strangers. And how he doesn't care if your a Faunus or Human.
"And the dream that you dare to. Oh why, oh why can't I? I Someday I'll wish upon a star. Wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops. High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me" Penny started to record the moment they got in the room. She looks at the rest of the kids and sees many already asleep. "So this is a lullaby" she never heard anyone sing one before. May and Flynt couldn't stop remembering their parents singing them a lullaby as well. Neon's tail starts to move to the rhythm. "Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high. And the dream that you dare to. Why, oh why can't I? I. Ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh" Nora suddenly starts thinking of her mother. Singing to her almost every night. She misses those days... before the grimm attacked her village. Violet notices Timmy's eyes slowly closing, Violet is about to finish when he looks to his side and sees Nora tearing up. Hating seeing people sad or crying always brought this pain inside his chest. So he starts to make funny faces and noises "Ooh-ah-ah-eh-ah. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" which got Nora's full attention. Once she wipes away the tears, Violet stops playing. He places the ukulele under Timmy's bed and gave Timmy a kiss on his forehead. Getting a soft smile as a response. He didn't know why he did that, but it felt right. He makes sure that he's tugged in and leaves.
While walking away with the rest behind him. He notices all the kids fast asleep. They all left the room as fast and quietly as possible. Once outside, Violet's smile got more brighter. Which many blush at his smile. As they are lead to the entrance, did Violet notice the damaged walls and floors. They stop at the door, Mira and two other nuns stop right in front of them. "Thank you for coming today, all of you" she says in a cheerful voice. "It wasn't a big deal" Nora tells her. As they said their goodbyes and walked out, did Violet stop and stayed behind with Mira. Making everyone to turn around to see him standing beside her. He fishes out his check book and looks at Mira. She sees this and rises her hands up "Nonono Violet, I couldn't take your money. You've done enough for us" Violet ignores her and pulls out a pen. Everyone looks at Violet writing on his check book. Once done he rips out the check and pockets his checkbook and pen back. "Here, you need this more then me" he hands her the check. She grabs the check and saw two hundred thousand liens written there. But what got her attention is on the name of the check. It reads Jaune Miles D'Arc instead of Violet, she looks up to ask but he holds up his finger to his lips. Telling her to stay quiet and giving her a wink.
He walks away to join the rest. Mira closes the door and keeps staring at the check. Violet looks at everyone with a smile. "It was nice seeing you all...and sorry for the trouble I caused you all yesterday", "We forgive you" everyone said. "Then I think I should head back home. There's a chance I may see Johnny before he heads back to Beacon" he says with a mischievous smile. "Wait!" Glynda shouts for him to stop. "Yes?", "I should escort you home...it's a dangerous neighborhood" she says with a small blush. He just crosses his arms and chuckles "I think I can handle myself Glynda". "But we can keep you safe" Ruby walks forward. "Maybe" he says with a smile but it changes to teasing "But who'll protect me from all of you~?". They all turn completely red, with some of them coughing into their fist. The one to snap out of it is Weiss and Winter. "We're not taking any chances of you getting assaulted or kidnapped" Winter says. He just brushes it off "I'll be fine, I've been wondering around Vale and Beacon since forever. So I think I'll be fine" he says. Starting his journey to Tom's Bar, he walks away. And suddenly turns around but doesn't stop walking.
"But hey, thanks for the offer. So good night to all of you" he turns back and starts to walk away. Raising his hand up to wave them goodbye. "Take care friends!" some of the girls clench their poor broken hearts "Friend zone" they all thought. Except the ones who like a challenge and one robotic girl. "We're friends?" Penny asks while the heartbroken girls look at her. Violet turns around and walks backwards away from them. "As my friend always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!" he says with a smile. He turns around again and keeps walking towards Tom's bar. Leaving a little red riding hood with her jaw open.
