Reviews

Volcasiron30: Thanks, hope you like this one too

AverageReadingEnjoyer: I know right, with everything going on. But thankfully I made it through and through. Now all I have to do is make two beginning chapter for the Prequel for this story.

And I really don't know how long the Acts might be. But some won't be that long for sure. Like the third one might be shorter since it takes place in Beacon. And the fourth one in Menagerie, and the fifth at Vale again... but that one will be hard to write and hopefully people don't give up on the story at that part... some people will die in that Act. And some will suffer the most. But I promise the ending will be a happy one.

Guest: No thank you for leaving a review for all those rewrites. And yea, we're back baby! Can't wait to write the 22 chapter. Thankfully I have the 20th chapter nearly done.

And my wrist will never be the same, ever again. It cracks every time I move it, but it stopped hurting. But thanks for asking and my friend says thank you as well.

Yea Oro had a terrible childhood for sure. I'm going to reveal some of it in chapter 21.

Well to be honest, it isn't Jaune completely. It's Violet pushing him to it. As you may have realized, Violet is the lustful one. And I'll be answering why he's like this in chapter 21. Where Jaune goes visits Dr.Smith for his second appointment.

I enjoyed writing Joan and can't wait to write a chapter where Jaune sings with her band. And I got a song already in mind... Nora is going to love it.

Jaune the Betrayed: Thanks, I really like music FanFictions. But sometimes they put songs that don't match the moment or story. So I thought I could play my hand... then my mind went crazy and came up with this story in a week. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Sorry but I've used that song in Violet's second interview. But if you think of any other song that would fit him or Jaune... and Johnnny. Go ahead, it helps honestly

Gu3st: I actually have the prefect place for It. It's just in ACT 3

"Hello!" Miles shouts into the darkness. To only hear his echoing voice. But what he doesn't realize are shadowy figures limping towards him, till it was to late. Seeing the very corpses that Fear loves to torment in his prison. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landside, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see" the corpses sing while Miles starts to shake and backs away. "I'm just a rich boy, I need no sympathy" shaking from all the emotions going through him. "Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low" the room turns black. And the lights return, to reveal a stage "Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me" a silhouette appears playing the piano. "Mamaaa, Just killed a man" Johnny appears on stage with a barley breathing Jay. With him aiming the revolver to his head "Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger*BANG*Now he's dead" Johnny drops the gun and walks away. "Mamaaa, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away" cops appear and arrested him, in front of his family. "Mama, oooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters" he's sitting inside a cell. Looking at his bloody hands.

The lights flicker, changing the scene to him leaving to tour. "Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all. The time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go" he picks up his bags and leaves. "Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth" the scene changes again with Violet in the dressing room. "Mama, oooh, I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" Violet places his fingers to the sides of his mouth and tries to make himself smile. "I see a little silhouetto of a man" the silhouette says before the corpses start singing. "Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango! Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me" Miles keeps his eyes on the corpses. Whose still walking backwards, away from them. "Galileo, Galileo. Galileo, Galileo. Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo" he trips on something. Looking at the thing that tripped him, which causes his blood to go cold.

"I'm just a rich boy nobody loves me" Elisabeth is laying there, tied up. "He's just a rich boy from a rich family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity" the corpses grab him and Elisabeth and drove them to kneel."Easy come, easy go, will you let me go" he looks to his side and catches a glimpse of Leo next to them. "Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go)(Never) Never let you go (Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no" the silhouette stands up and walks towards them. "Oh mama mia, mama mia!" which reveals Fear in a black suit. "mama mia, let me go. Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, For meee" he pulls out the revolver from his back. And once in front of Leo, he points the gun to his forehead. "So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye" *BANG* he shoots Leo's brains out. Now he points it to Elisabeth "So you think you can love me and leave me to die" *BANG* witnessing her body go limp. Causes Miles to cry even harder. "Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here".

He smoothly walks behind Miles and starts to pat his head before grabbing a hand full of his hair. Which he pulls back "Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters" Fear lowers himself and whispers into his ear. "Nothing really matters to me" he lets go and backs away. Miles can feel the barrel of the gun behind his head. "Any way the wind blows..." *BANG*

Jaune shoots up from his nightmare/subconscious. He looks at his hands and just for a second he could see the blood still there. He shakily closes his hands into fists and reopens them repeatedly. His breathing is heavy and his whole body is covered in sweat. After calming down and getting out of bed. He goes to the shower and starts his day. After a nice hot shower to get his nerves in check. he gets himself ready to head out to the mansion. He wore one of his old long sleeve shirts that has a broken heart. The heart is red while the shirt is white. He puts on grey jeans and grey shoes to match. And going over to pick up his wallet and The music device. He notices a brand new scroll there. Picking it up and putting in the chip he had in his wallet. It starts to download everything from the dust cloud.

While that's happening, he goes to the living room and sees a letter from his grandfather. Telling him that he took Timmy, Lizzie, Mira and Winter to the farm. He puts it back and makes his way downstairs to the lobby. Just before he could leave, one of the employees comes up to him. "Sir!, your grandfather left this for you" Jaune sees a set of keys. He recognizes them by the key chain that is attach to them. That black skull with a knife going through its head. He grabs it and goes outside to see his custom cruiser. He hops on it and gets nostalgic from the feeling of it. "I missed you so much Lucky". Once he starts the engine, he admires the feeling of the roars from Lucky. He starts driving to his grandfather's place.

After a joyous ride that helped him more then the shower did. He walks inside to be met with his two older sisters and the three youngest. "Hey-" he's tackled by his sisters, who start to check him. "Get off of me!" he pushes them away and fixes his shirt. "What was that for?!" he sees Jade amongst them. "Wait a minute, why aren't you in school?" he looks at her. "Because we were worried about you stupid!" Jamie yells at him. He notices the teary eyes from her, Jane and Jade. And that's when he remembers what happened last night. And how briefly that news was in the internet. "I'm sorry" he tells them but he doesn't want to waste time. He tries to move pass them but he's stopped by Janice, who looks into his eyes. "What happened Jaune?" Jaune looks around to notice he's being trapped by them. "Sorry Janice but I need to go and get changed" he tells her. But she didn't move, he expects her to demand an answer. But she wraps him into a hug and pulls him closer to her. "Fine, but after your work. We need to talk alright", "Okay" he gently pulls himself away. She pats his head "But you don't look so good. Did you get any sleep?". "Yea I did but I just had a nightmare is all" he rubs his eyes. And when he opens them, he sees Fear standing behind her.

Exhales and closes his eyes and opens them to see he's gone. "Jaune?" Saphron goes up to him and leans forward and puts her hand on his forehead. "Maybe you should rest for a bit before-", "Nah I'm good, I just need some breakfast and I'll be alright" he steps back. Jade goes over to grab his hand and starts to pull him towards the stairs. "Then lets go and get you ready and then we can play with Timmy and Lizzie after your done!" Jade says. He smiles "Yes Jaune, lets go play with them. Maybe we can show them how to play~" he unconsciously pulls his hand away from Jade. She turns to see his eyes and can see fear in them for a split second before changing to a tired. "You know what, maybe I'll try to get a quick nap" he moves around her. Never stopping to see her or his other sisters. Leaving Jade to feel depress by this. He just keeps moving to his room and slams the door close. And leans on his door and looks up to the ceiling. "Why is this happening again?" he slides down to the floor.

Oro is showing his lovely guests the mansion. "And this is where we keep the library" he tells them. "This place is huge!" Timmy says while looking at all the books. Lizzie agrees with him, she's holding Pete and is holding his hand. Mira goes over to see a book that she recognizes by catching many of her sisters reading at their spare time. "Ninjas of love" she moves on and sees a table with many books on. She goes over and sees them and picks one up. "The Bandit king" she reads out loud. She places it back and sees another one "The fallen Angel". "Did you know that story is a sequel to the Bandit King?" she unconsciously drops the book. Turning around to see Oro, pushing Winter around in a wheelchair. "My apologies Mot-", "Just Mira is fine Mr.D'Arc" Timmy comes towards them with a comic in hand. "Grampa-Grampa!" he looks down to see him holding a comic book in his hands. "Can I read this?", "Of course my boy" seeing that big smile on his face. Reminds him of the times he would see Jaune smiling to Cash or his beloved Anna.

Lizzie is still looking at the books till she sees one that gets her attention. The spine of the book is blue with silver letters. But it's on the top shelves, so she turns around to find someone who could grab it for her. But in doing so, she pumps into someone. Immediately she takes a step back to see this giant looking down to her. She tightens her grip on Pete and holds her breath. "Yatsu" a feminine voice gets her attention. She moves her head to see behind him. And her eyes go wide from seeing a older girl with brown hair and bunny ears, just like Timmy. Velvet gets close enough to see Lizzie staring right back at her. "Lizzie, Grampa said it's ok-" Timmy comes around to see them. All three turn to see him holding the comic book. But his eyes remain on Velvet, whose also staring at him. Unknown to them, Velvet's heart skips a beat when she sees him. Something inside her, tells her to go to him and hold him to dear life. "H-hi" he shyly says in a cute voice.

"Now where's these children have gone to?" Mira says. Oro sniffs the air and catches their scent with... a devilish smile graces his lips. "They're up ahead, take a right" he says while pushing Winter. Once they turn that corner, they see Velvet holding Timmy up in her arms. And Yatsu is reaching for the book that Lizzie wants. Oro's smile changes to a more happier one. When he sees Timmy showing her some of the pages of the comic. Both of them with a smile. He glances to Mira, who's eyes are wide. Disbelief in them, seeing them like a big sister and little brother. Or a young mother with her son. He pushes forward, catching their attention by the sound of the wheels. "Miss.Scarlatina and Mr.Daichi, thank you for finding the children" Timmy looks at Oro. "Look Grampa!" he points at her ears. "She has ears like me" he says with the biggest and brightest smile. "Yes she does, now. We have to go, Silver has our breakfast ready" Timmy looks at Velvet. "Do you want to eat with us?" she looks at Oro who nods for her to join them. "Alright" Timmy cutely pumps his fist up "Yes!".

Oro turns to Yatsu "How about you my boy?". "I must decline, it's my turn to keep guard at the set" Oro nods in understanding. "I'll have one of the maids to take you some food then" he turns with Winter. "Then lets go, so you two can meet Jaune's family" they follow him out.

He sees his costume ready for the day. He goes to the bathroom and starts to take off his shirt and splashes water to his face. He starts to wipe his face with a towel "Let's play~" he stops and slowly moves the towel away. He looks at the mirror and sees himself. "What the fucking is happening? This never happened before" he throws the towel on the sink. He hears the door open in his room. "Hey Jaune are you ready!" he hears Max voice. "No sorry I was just getting ready", "Are you wearing pants?!". "Yes why?" he comes out from his shower and was ready to see Max and maybe Amethyst. "Jaune-Jaune!" next thing he knows, he's tackle to the ground. "Nora!" he shouts as she tightens her hug. He looks at Max standing next to Ren who has his small smile. "Yea your teammates came to see you Jaune" he says. Nora isn't loosening her grip on him "Yea I can see that. Nora let go, I need to get up and put on my costume", "NO!". "Please, I need to get ready!", "NNNOOO!" he looks at Ren for help but all he gets is a no from him.

"Fine then" he manages to get up and forces her to release him. Which takes him some time but he did it. He holds her like a child and is about to chew her out, but he sees her teary eyes. "Why haven't you answered our calls?" seeing her like this just worsens his mood. He puts her down and goes over to get ready. Max looks at Nora staring at him. He can see the pain in her eyes. "Jaune come on, stop ignoring them" he tells him. He stops when he's putting on his shirt "I'm sorry but I'm going to be late. And I can't fail the crew or Amethyst". He continues buttoning up his shirt "Maybe after the shooting we can talk Max. But not right now, I have to much on my mind" he then grabs his vest and starts to put it on. Max looks at Ren "Can you guys give us a moment?". Nora sadly nods and walks towards Ren who holds her hand. They both walk through the door, but not before Nora turns to see Jaune looking at them. She doesn't know why but the way he's looking at them, didn't seem like him. Ren closes the door and Jaune releases the biggest sigh he's every had. "I could use a drink after this" he tells himself.

"Drinking should be the last thing on your mind right now" Max tells him. Jaune ignores him and just keeps on putting on his suit. Once he has everything on, he goes over to his dresser and grabs his wig and glasses. Max wants to smack him over the head but he just stood there. Waiting for him to at least look his way. He's getting irritated by his eyes on him so he gives up. "Fine" he looks at his clock that's on the wall "We got sometime I guess". Jaune sits down on the bed and is trying to find the words to tell him. Till he gives up in frustration "I'm losing my mind Max". Jaune looks at his hands and keeps remembering the blood staining his palms. The blood dripping from his fingers. The smell of copper reaching his nose. Max sees him staring at his hands for a minute before he stops and runs his hands on his head. He grabs a hand full of hair and pulls in rage. "I've been seeing the others but not him... till now", "Who?" he gets close to grab his wrists and gently pulls them away. Before he could answer him. They hear knocking on his door.

"Son?" hearing Jonathan's voice behind the door. So Jaune stands up and straightens himself. Max looks at the door and then at Jaune. "We'll talk later about this" he stands up and goes to open the door. Jonathan and Jasmine enter quickly. With her rushing to her son. She places her hands on his cheeks and turns him to the sides to see if there's any bruises or scars. "Mom?", "Are you okay-" Jaune stops her by gently grabbing her hands. "I'm fine... I'm all healed up" she moves her hands forward to hold his cheeks again. "Good" she says in a cheerful tone *SLAP*. *THUD* Jaune falls on his side, with his left cheek red. He looks at his mother having this demonic presence. "That's the third time you hanged up on me, son~" she demonically said.

Timmy and Lizzie are in the dining room with Jaune's family except him and his parents. With Velvet sitting next to Timmy. Helping him by cutting up his pancakes. "There you go~" he looks up to her with the brightest smile "Thank you". He starts to munch on his breakfast while Janice looks at them. "Are you sure your not his mother~" she asks Velvet. Which causes her to turn to see everyone looking right at them, even Lizzie. She may be blushing, but she never said no. "Honey calm down" Jonathan's voice reaches them, as they walk in. "Not till he-" she stops herself when she sees everyone there. But her eyes land on Timmy there with Velvet. She doesn't move for some time, before moving so fast, nobody saw it. Now she's next to Timmy, who jumps with wide eyes. "Timmy right?" he slowly nods his head. "I'm Jaune's loving mother" she says with a gentle smile. Now his nervous expression vanishes, replacing it with his smile.

"Do you not remember her from the video chat?" Oro asks. Timmy slowly nods in a remembering matter, till he remembers now. He points at her "You're the scary lady!" he cheerfully shouts. All the D'Arcs chuckle at that, with Velvet, Chris and Terra go silent. "Don't call me that honey... call me Memaw", "Really?" Jasmine pats his head. "Yes, and that man over there" she points at Jonathan "Call him Pawpaw". Timmy looks at him and that's all it took for Jonathan to feel warm inside. So he gives him a nod of approval. Jonathan walks farther in and sees Lizzie looking at Timmy, Velvet and his wife. "Hey there" he kneels down to be at the same level as Lizzie. "H-hi", "My names Jonathan D'Arc... but you can call me Pawpaw. If you want to" he said in a gentle voice. *CLAP-CLAP-CLAP* Oro clapped to get their attention "That's enough of that, the food will go cold, so dig in".

--

Time has passed, with Jaune going to his room for his break. Now he's just taking another shower. Hoping it might help him with all this stress. Thankfully Fear hasn't spoken to him during the whole recording. Once done, he gets out and grabs a normal white muscle shirt with blue jeans and white shoes. He goes through the hallway to see if there's anyone still in the dining room. Getting close enough, he can hear them talking. "So he started singing and dancing around the classroom!" Jade screams out. "He's quite the showman, isn't he?" Mira said. "Yes!" Timmy, Jade and Lizzie scream out, with everyone's happy laughter afterwards. "Who do you like more? Jaune or Violet?" Jamie asks. It didn't take long for Timmy to answer "Jaune!". Jaune leans on the wall "Kid has good taste" he thought cockily. "Which song is your favorite then?" Janice asks this time. It did take some time to hear his answer "Go the distance" which his answer confuses him. "I never sang that song to hi-... that son'va bitch!" Max randomly felt a chill briefly.

"I never heard that one" Jade says. "Your brother made that song on tour" Max tells her. "So Jaune sang you that song?" his mother asks. "No Memaw, I heard it in a video" Jaune rubs his forehead in annoyance. To focus on his own personal things. He didn't hear wheels coming his way. Winter is pushing herself, so when she turns to see Jaune there. Her whole face turns red "Snowflake" remembering that terrible nickname he gave her. Jaune finally notices her and looks at the state he left her. "Hey" he says, trying to break this awkward moment. But it didn't work, they remain looking at each other. "I'm sorr-", "We need to talk about what happened last night" she awkwardly said. "Fine... do you need me to pus-", "No" she starts to roll by him. So he follows beside her, thinking of something to say. He couldn't possibly tell her "Sorry for that, but it wasn't me. Violet was the one that made me do that".

She stops suddenly, and her action makes Jaune stop as well. Looking at her, thinking now is the best time to. "I'm sorry Jaune... But what happened last night was a mistake. And I hope you understand when I tell you it isn't you... It's me" she said. Causing him to feel weird in this situation. She wouldn't look at his eyes for some time. Seeing her nervously biting her lower lip. "I understand... So let's stay friends then" he said with a smile. "Thank you" she says before moving past him. "And Jaune", "Yes!" he turns around to see her leaving. "Call my sister, she's worried about you" then she takes a turn. Feels guilty for the remainder of her. Thinking about the way he blew them off by not calling her or the rest. Reminds him of Nora and Ren, his teammates.

Making up his mind, he goes looking for them. Asking for some of the help if they saw them around. Eventually, he found them in the backyard, near the wishing whale. Ren held Nora's hand, in a comforting manner. Feeling ashamed of the way he blew them away like a-. "Jaune?" hearing her hurt voice, really hurts him. So he plays it off with a nervous chuckle and a hand behind his head. "Hey there" they both turn to see him. Expecting them to ignore him or worse, angrily insult him. "Jaune-Jaune!" Nora magical teleported to him, crashing him in the biggest and bone breaking hug. So he fights back, managing to hug her back. "Hey, cupcake" Nora pulls away and glares at Jaune. "Don't. Call. Me. That" she threateningly said. "Fine... cupcake" he manages to slide under her hold and avoid her. Till Nora catches his wrist and pulls him into her super special hug. "Ren help!" hoping his brother from another mother would help him. "Sorry", "traitor!" Jaune starts to over power Nora. "HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG!" she shouts into his ear. "Cause I'm the strongest there is!" he playfully shouts. Breaking from her hold "Now prepare yourself for the ultimate attack!". He wiggles his fingers "Tickle attack!" he shouts before tickling her into submission.

"Stop!" she shouts in hopes to be spared this torture. But her plead landed on deaf ears, as Jaune has her on the floor now. Tickling her like a maniac, laughing with her. But the deference is she's laughing uncontrollably with tears spilling out while trying to escape. But he stops himself when he hears the lack of breath. Once she regains her breathe, Jaune helps her up. With all the silliness that happened, helps him with asking for forgiveness. "Sorry for not calling" he says while looking into her eyes. "And specially kicking you out of my room-", "We know you were busy" Ren interrupts him. "Bu-", "Don't worry about it Fearless Leader. We understand you have a job to do here". A smile graces his face, realizing how lucky he was to get them as teammates. "Thanks for understanding... so I have some time before I have to head back to work. Do you want me to show you one of my favorite places here?" he asks. "Sure" Ren says, with Nora nodding. So now they're heading to the greenhouse.

To say they were surprised to see how big it is. Going inside, and Jaune leading them to the follower section. Where he would spend all his time as a child. "Wow" Nora says as she looks at all the flowers. "This place looks beautiful" Ren says out loud. "Yea this place is my favorite part in the mansion" Jaune tells them. They go farther in and see a room full of different yellow followers. "This was my Nana's favorite spot" he goes over to a bench. "This is also the place I learned to play the guitar from my uncle Cash" he takes a seat. He looks around, remembering all the fun times he would have here. Especially the one with him and Uncle cash eating his mom's spaghetti here. And getting some wise words from him.

--

"Are you excited?" Cash asks Jaune. Both of them on the bench, eating spaghetti from lunch trays. "I don't know" he responds in a nervous tone. Cash stops eating and looks at Jaune playing with the noodles. Placing the tray on the side "Whats wrong?". "What if they don't like my singing?", "And what if they do?" Jaune stops spinning the fork and looks to his uncle. "Never let that fear stop you from doing something" he says while placing his hand on his head for comfort. "Listen well Jaune, in this world we get one shot" raising one finger up. "Or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted" now Jaune's attention is on his finger. "In one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip?" he finishes. And that's all Jaune needed to hear to motivate him. Turning back to the spaghetti and devouring it with determination. "Slow down!, your going to get a stomach ache" but Jaune finishes anyway. Getting up and grabbing his sweater from beside him.

--

"Jaune?" Nora snaps him out of his memory. Turning to her and seeing her worried expression. "Are you okay?" Ren is the one to ask, as he's standing in front of him. "Yea I'm fine... want to go see the music room?" he asks. Wanting to leave here, to many memories of them. A tear sliding down his right cheek. "Sure" Ren answers before giving him and Nora a hand. When both of them are standing up, Ren lets go of his hand, except Nora's. Jaune looks at how happy they look. "Then lead the way Fearless Leader!" she shouts. So Jaune leads them to a big room, filled with instruments. And to his shock, some Violet merchandise he send back home when he was on tour. "Look Renny!" Nora runs up to a shirt he was wearing at Beacon. While Ren looks at all the things with Violet's face plastered on or his name. Jaune goes over to a box and opens it to see some merchandise. Seeing a silly mask with Violet's face on it. He picks it up and looks at it.

"What you got there?" Jaune looks at Nora and Ren. "Nothing really, just a mask from my time at Patch" handing over the mask to Ren. "It was Halloween, so they made some masks for the fans. But before they could be sold off. I took one and send it here" he starts looking at the remaining things in the box. While Ren looks at the mask and then at Jaune "Can I ask you a question?". He would have joked about him already asking but his tone is serious. "Sure", "Why didn't you tell us or why the disguise?" Ren asks the questions Nora never asked. Jaune stops and crosses his arms and letting out a sigh "The disguise is kinda personal but the reason why I wear it is because I don't want the fame... not that kinda fame at least". Jaune turns around and goes to take a seat at the bench near the piano. He pats for them to seat next to him. Thankfully it's big enough for them too.

Some time goes by, with him trying to find the right words. But sadly he couldn't find any, so he won't sugar coat it. "At a young age... I've always dreamed of becoming a huntsman. Bring honor to the D'Arc clan" he confuses. "So why the music career and your persona?" Ren asks. With Nora staying quiet, letting Ren ask the questions for now. Jaune looks at them with a broken expression "I'm sorry... but it's a personal reason for Violet. But the reason for my music is... for my Nana and uncle Cash". He unconsciously bites his lower lip to hold back a whimper. Every time he would talk about them, brought all the emotions he felt that day. "Where are they?" Nora asks. "They passed away... when I was five... they were in a car accident" he managed to say.

His eyes already puffy from the memory of the day he heard the news. He baked some heart shaped cookies for them. It was supposed to be for them for Valentines. Uncle Cash didn't survive the crash but his grandma died at the hospital that night. He wasn't allowed to visit her. But he couldn't stand the pain of not seeing her. So he did the only thing he could, he sneaked away and went to the hospital. Remembering the cold wind hitting his face while flying over there. And noticing a bright light that lead him to the window of her room. Seeing her there with all those machines attached to her. Barley keeping her alive. But the thing that sticks with him the most that night. Is that white light beside her, pointing towards him. Causing her to slowly turn to him. Only for her to use the last of her strength to give him a small smile before dying.

His memories stop when he feels Ren's hand on his shoulder. And Nora stretching her hand to reach his. Feeling how much they're worried about him, makes him to shake it off. "Sorry about that *Sigh* been thinking a lot about my past" they remain silent for some time. Jaune looks at Nora's lap and sees the mask. He reaches for it and takes it. Looks at it for some time and puts it on. "Yo guys, how's my favorite couple doin today?" he jokingly says in his Violet voice. Getting them to at least smile at his acting. "What about if I set the mood with one of my favorite songs" he stands up and walks to a speaker. Taking out the device and plugging it in. And putting on the earpiece and going over to seat next to them. Taking off the mask "I... I want to share with you two a song that's real important to me and my grandfather". before he starts he wants to tell them about it.

"This song was made for my grandfather. My Nana made it specifically for him and eventually sang it to me... and I would love to perform it to you guys" and with that he puts on the mask. All three of them don't realize the four people at the entrance.

Violet: "Singing"

Jaune: "Singing"

"You've been tossing and turning for far too long. Like what is some sleep to a life this long? You're saying it's cold even with the heat. Constantly, you're finding it hard to trust" he takes the mask off. "All the nights spent hurting. All the time they've stolen. Waiting on the day you see" he sings in his normal voice. And puts the mask over his face again and sings in his Violet voice. "No matter all the tears how long they stay. Don't question yourself, you will overcome. No matter how the fears may take you away. You're hard on yourself, but you're second to none" he stands up and extends his hand to Nora. "So darling, take a leap of faith, you are stronger than you imagine. You could never let me down" she accepts it and he pulls her up. "This world is better with you around" now he focuses on Ren. "You've been lost in a daze living out of fear. Like what is a day to another year. You're saying convictions are costing me. Constantly, you're finding it hard to trust" and also extends his hand for him. "Giving 'til it's gone. Awake until the morning. Waiting for the day you see" he accepts too, and Jaune pulls him up.

"We need you over here, so won't you stay. You're doubting yourself, we've only begun 'Cause if you're in your head, know it'll be okay. You're finding yourself, and you'll never be done" wrapping one arm around him. And Nora grabs his other and wraps it over her's. "So darling, take a leap of faith, you are greater than you imagine. You could never let me down. This world is better with you around" she grabs the mask and looks at it. And eventually puts it over his face. "No matter all the tears how long they stay. Don't question yourself, you will overcome" she takes it off. "No matter how the fears may take you away. You're hard on yourself, but you're second to none" he pulls them closer. "So darling, take a leap of faith, you are stronger than you imagine. You could never let me down" his aura unconsciously turns baby blue. "This world is better with you" surrounding all three of them. "Running around the place. Once in a lifetime that you'll be dead. So leave us some room for the words unsaid. Honestly, This world is better with you around" something about his aura makes them feel warm... safe.

"That was amazing!" Timmy and Jade shout. Causing Jaune, Nora and Ren to turn to the entrance. Seeing Oro, Mira and the three children there. Jaune lets go and leads his teammates back to them, at the entrance. His eyes make contact with his grandfather. He can see how much he's holding back a tear. "That... was a beautiful performance with that song" Jade looks at her grandfather. "Yea, I wanted to sing that song for some time. But I didn't have anyone special to sing to" he turns to his teammates. Seeing Jaune like this, with people who love him. Really brings a smile to Oro, who lets out a tear of joy. "I'm glad to hear that" *Beep-Beep* Jaune takes out his new scroll. "I have to go back, my breaks over" he looks at his friends. "I'll be out in an hour-", "That's good to hear, but we'll be going to the ranch" Oro tells him. Timmy tucks on Mira's dress "Can I wait for him?". "Sure you can my boy" Oro tells him. "Then it's settled then" Jaune says before picking up Timmy. "Let's go, once we get there. I'll show you how to ride a horse" he says before throwing Timmy on his shoulders and carries him away. Leaving everyone there with a smile.

Oro looks a down to Lizzie "Let's go, Jamie will show you the ponies". "YES!" Lizzie shouts with excitement.

Amethyst and Max walk towards Violet's room. "Calm down honey, he's probably getting read-", "He's five minutes late, we can't afford to lose time" she says while forcefully opening the door. "So that's how you know the difference between a guitar and bass", "Oooohhhh" Timmy says. Amethyst sees Violet holding up his signature guitar with him standing in front of Timmy, whose sitting on Violet's bed. Violet turns to them and remembers he's late. So he takes off the guitar and goes over to Timmy. "Sorry but I have to go" he turns to Max "Can you keep Timmy company?". Max nods and goes over to them "Sure". Before he leaves, he pats Timmy's head and earns a happy chuckle. Amethyst leads Violet to the set and start recording.

Eventually they finished recording that day. So Jaune goes and changes back to normal. And leads Timmy to the garage. Once his eyes land on Lucky with a sidecar attached to it. Timmy ran to it and sees a custom helmet that lets his ears pop out, and some goggles. After putting on their helmets and Timmy putting on the seatbelt. "Are you ready?" Timmy places the goggles on and gives him the thumbs up. So he starts Lucky and drives off. Driving to the ranch, with Timmy enjoying the ride. They eventually made it there. "Wow, it's huge!" he says out loud. Seeing the big house his father build with his money from his time as a huntsman. He parks Lucky and gets off and helps Timmy out of the cart. Timmy takes off his helmet and places in the cart. Jaune leads him to the backyard, showing him the ranch. Where Timmy spots chickens, and goats roaming around. "Let's go to the stables and present you to Shadow" Jaune picks him up. And carries onward to the stables. Once inside, Alfred alright has Shadow all saddle up. With Jaune's guitar strapped safely on the back. He goes over to him and starts to pat him.

Timmy stares at Shadow, who looking right at him. "He's cool looking right?" Timmy nods but Jaune notices how nervous he is. "Don't be nervous, Shadow might look menacing. But he's a big softy" he pats him one last time. "Come on, we'll go for the best ride of your life" he tells him. Timmy slowly walks to him from fear. He's never even seen a horse in person. Jaune picks him up "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe". Timmy then is placed on the saddle and Jaune gets on. And grabs the reins with one hand an the other is wrapped around Timmy. "Okay, here we go" he starts to lead him out of the stables. Timmy holds onto Jaune's arm and is nervous of how it feels to be on a moving horse. They see his parents and his friends out there. Waiting beside the gate, with Jasmine holding her scroll. They stop by them "Are you recoding us?", "Your damn right, I'm recording my only son and his soon to be son". She says while having this big smile. Jaune just rolls his eyes "Velvet, stand next to them" she tells her.

Jonathan grabs his wife by the shoulders and pulls her away. "Come now, stop forcing this honey. Jaune is still young and it's his choice" Jaune and the rest stare at his mother kicking and screaming to be released. "Memaw is scary sometimes" Timmy said, while everyone nods in agreement. Velvet places her hand on Timmy's hand, which is gripping Jaune's forearm. "Hold on tightly, and listen to Jaune" Timmy nods. Jaune gently touches Velvet's hand with his other hand that has the reins wrapped around it. "We'll be back for dinner" pulling away from her. He starts going over to his teammates "I'll be back guys" he finally rides away. Never noticing Velvet staring at their retreating figures. With a big blush present on her face and one stupidly smile.

Beacon

"You wanted to see us Headmaster?" Ruby asks. With her teammates and Glynda present, whose in Lala land. Ever since the video of Violet, she's been in a great mood. "Yes Miss.Rose, I've been asked to give you this" he hands her a letter. Looking confused, she opens it and sees a invitation for her and the rest of her team, to the D'Arc wedding. Her eyes go wide and looks at her team. Showing them the invitation and getting positive responses. "But I'm afraid you'll be working during that time" he interrupts their group discussion. "Seriously?" Yang says, hoping to try some of the expensive food at the wedding and maybe some alcohol. "Yes Miss.Xiao Long, Oro has asked me to bring your team to guard a couple that means so much to him" he glances to Blake when he mentioned couple. "And for that reason... *sigh* Miss.Goodwitch will be your supervisor for this mission. So prepare your bags, we'll be leaving shortly".

--

It's been some time since they left the ranch. With Jaune riding into the forest. Coming up to a waterfall with a beautiful lake. "We'll rest for a bit here" Jaune gets off and takes Timmy off as well. He then takes out a bag of energy bars and his guitar. Timmy gets near the lake and looks at his own reflection. Jaune stands next to him and taps his shoulder with the energy bar "Here". "Thank you" Timmy grabs it and starts unwrapping it. They both sit near the lake and munch on their snacks. After they're done, Timmy asked if Jaune would teach him how to play his guitar. So he's sitting on his lap, while Jaune is showing him how to grab it. "And place your finger right here" he says. "Like this?", "Yes, now use this guitar pick" Timmy grabs it and plays a tune. Which earns him a big smile from Jaune. Some time has past by before Timmy asks Jaune to play him a song. Now Shadow lays on the ground, looking at the lake. Timmy sits right next to him, with his eyes glue on Jaune.

Jaune is leaning on a tree "Are you ready?", "Yes!". "Alright, one, two, three" he starts playing. "I've been climbing my way through the sky. Searching for answers that I'll never find. Losing my breath as I fall" Timmy leans on Shadow. "Learning to fly, letting go of it all. Learning to fly, letting go of it all" Jaune remembers his first time flying. Never realizing Johnny standing next to him. "I'm gonna live, Like tomorrow never comes. There's no end in sight. Tonight we black out the sun. Better hold on tight. Before you know it's gone. And live like tomorrow never comes" they both sing together. "I've been trying to open my eyes. Take it all in as the world passes by Getting lost in the twists and the turn. Finding these questions inside me still burn. Finding these questions inside me still burns" his body summons a red aura with white surrounding it. "I'm gonna live, Like tomorrow never comes. There's no end in sight. Tonight we black out the sun. Better hold on tight. Before you know it's gone" Timmywasg so amazed by the colors. Didn't notice a second voice echoing with Jaune's.

"And live like tomorrow never comes" Jaune pushes off from the tree. "Whoa, oh. Whoa, oh" his aura turns pure white. "I keep looking for some kind of sign. Trying to hold on in this race against time. I can't say where the next bend might be. That is the beauty in life's mystery. That is the beauty in life's mystery" the clouds block the sunlight. So the only light is Jaune's aura. "I'm gonna live Like tomorrow never comes. There's no end in sight. Tonight we black out the sun" the light burns brighter. "Better hold on tight. Before you know it's gone" but it didn't bother Timmy's eyes at all. "And live like tomorrow never comes" Shadow moves his head to look at Jaune. "There's no end in sight, For tonight we black out the sun" on that final word. The clouds vanish from the sky. "Whoa, oh. Whoa, oh" letting the sun's light appear. Jaune's aura dies out when he opens his eyes. Seeing Timmy with these large and amazed eyes. He instantly stands up and throws his hands up "THAT WAS EPIC!". Jaune goes and lifts Timmy, who still has his hands up. "Thanks, but we should head back to the ranch" Timmy agrees.

Getting Shadow to stand up and packing his guitar. Getting on Shadow and heading over to the water fall. To show Timmy something that brings him joy. "Okay Timmy hold on" he holds on Shadows neck. But he keeps looking at how fast they are getting near the water fall. Shadow jumps forward and Jaune releases a scream of joy. Timmy closes his eyes when they hit the water. Shadow lands inside a cave and keeps running forward. Timmy opens his eyes and sees the tunnel. The farther they went in, he could see this beautiful blue lights on the ceiling. "WOW!" Jaune looks down to see him looking up with wonderment. He looks forward and sees the fun part. "Hold on!" he wraps his left arm around him and holds him. Timmy sees a dead end and before they could hit it. They went down to a hole and Shadow sticks the landing. And keeps going "Alright here it comes!" Jaune yells to warn Timmy. Timmy sees a wall of water rushing down. And just like before, they passed right through it. But with Timmy joining Jaune with screaming. They both have the biggest smiles. They come out from a cave and into the forest. Jaune looks down to see Timmy leaning on his torso and showing him a toothy smile. "Can we do it again?", "Sure" he starts leading back to the waterfall again.

They eventually return back to the farm completely wet. But those big smiles they share just shows how much fun they had. Standing at the entrance of the stalls is Alfred. "By the smiles you both have and the state of your clothing" they stood next to him. "You showed Master Timothy the secret trail", "Maybe~" he gets off. And then he helps Timmy off but not before he pats Shadow's head. "Thank you for the ride Shadow" Shadow just nods and then Alfred leads him back to his stall. Jaune carries Timmy on his shoulders all the way back to the house. Once inside he sees Nora, Ren and Velvet looking at a family photo album. With his mother showing them the photos of his baby sisters. "This one was when Janice went to her first park" but once they heard the wet steps. They turn to see them completely wet. "What happened?!" Velvet stood up first and went to them. Once she was in front of them, she couldn't help but grab Timmy who willingly went. "We need to get you out of those wet clothes" she marches up stairs. Jaune was left standing there confused. He turns to his mother who has this big smile.

"Memaw!, I just rode a pony!" Lizzie came in jumping happily towards her. "Really honey, that's great!" Lizzie jumps towards her. Jasmine puts down the book and catches her. Jamie came afterwards and couldn't help but notice Jaune's state of clothes. "So you took Timmy to the water fall" Nora looks at him. "What water fall?", "It's a secret trail that my uncle showed me back when I was four". He takes off his shirt and starts to make his way up to his room. As he's walking towards his room. He spots the bathroom door open. He looks inside to see Velvet taking Timmy's shirt and pants off. Leaving him in his underwear. "We better get you some dry clothes right now" she turns to see Jaune leaning on the door frame. Shirtless... with water drips sliding down his well tone body. She turns completely red and Jaune comes towards her and puts his hand on her forehead. "Your feeling okay?, your completely red... and hot" he slides his hand down to her right. Till he reaches her shoulder and then goes to her back. He pulls her in closer "I think we should take your temperature" once he reaches her ass. He squeezes so hard that makes her moan "But all I have is a rectal thermometer~".

"Velvet are you okay?" she then realizes that she was fantasizing. "Sorry what?", "I was asking if your okay. But then you started to zone out" she looks at him and then at Timmy who is concerned too. But she doesn't know what to do, so she covers her bright red face. With her ears "excuse me!" she pushes right by him. Jaune sees her run out and when she's completely gone. He looks at Timmy whose only in his underwear. So he goes to the towel rack and grabs one while getting on his knees "We got to dry you off". He starts drying his head first "You know, we can go to the mall in the city to get you new clothes. And some for Lizzie too". "Okay" Jaune finishes drying him off when he stands up and drys his own hair. "But in the mean time I can give you some of mine" he puts away the towels and leads Timmy to his room. They go downstairs and pass everyone and go to the basement. When they get in, Timmy couldn't help but look around to see instruments and his king size bed. He looks at him "You can go and jump on the bed if you want". After that Timmy runs over to the bed and struggles to get up. But just like the hotel, Jaune goes over and helps him up. Timmy starts to jump all over the bed with a smile. Jaune goes to his closet and digs farther in and pulls out a box. "There has to be something you can wear here" he goes through his old clothes when he was three or four.

He tries to find something that would fit him and not have those two holes in the back. So he looks at the ones where he hid his wings. "This should do" he pulls out brown shorts and a black belt. And a brown hoodie that has the Arc symbol on the back. And a pair of white shoes with socks and underwear. Timmy safely gets off the bed and goes to a drum set that is in the corner of his room. "Wow" Jaune goes over and looks at his drum set. "She's beautiful isn't she?" he nods and looks at him. "Can I play it", "Sure, but first you should change into these" he hands him clothes. "Are these for me!" he grabs the new clothes. "Yes but I didn't find a shirt that would fit you" he hugs him "Thank you!" just as fast as he hugged him. He lets go and looks around to find a perfect place to change. "I'll wait outside for you to change" Jaune goes outside and closes the door. He leans beside the door "Don't you look happy". Mira walks up to him with a bag of clothes. "Honestly... yea" he starts to remember him sitting next to Timmy near the water fall. "It's the happiest I've been since... a long time ago", "I bet, have you seen Timmy. I was told by Velvet that he needs clothes". "Don't worry I gave him some of my old clothes. He's changing as we speak. But I didn't find a shirt but I gave him one of my favorite hoodies" Mira leans on the wall too. "You know, you make a great father~" Jaune rolls his eyes. "As much as I love Timmy and Lizzie with all my heart. They need a mom and dad in their lives... and good role models" he crosses his arms.

Mira hits him on the shoulder and gives him a scolding. "Don't sale yourself short young man. I've seen the way you two bond and how much joy you two bring each other". "That is true but they need a mother. And I'm not ready to settle down or to find someone who would like to be a mother" he says all of this without realizing that Timmy might be hearing on the other side. Timmy feels like crying by hearing this but then he hears something that brings him hope. "So what I'm hearing is that you wouldn't mind adopting them if you had a willing partner who would be a mother to them?" she puts her index finger on her lower lip. She's doing the thinking pose "Maybe someone whose been tending to them since they've been here. And to some of our shock. Kinda has long brown hair and bunny ears like Timmy. Or has those brown eyes like Lizzie" Timmy felt hope rise inside him. "And that's not mentioning how Timmy looks just like you... or Lizzie is the same blonde like you" Mira notices Timmy slightly opening the door to see Jaune. looking like Jaune and Lizzie having blonde hair from him and brown eyes like Velvet. He starts to imagine it, him and Velvet being lovely parents to them. But just as he was thinking this. Memories of his failed love life came to mind. But the thing that made him snap out of that fantasy is Jinx.

Flashback

He's laying next to her on the roof of her house. Looking up to the stars while holding hands. She gets closer and turns to her side and cuddles him. "This is perfect" he moves to get his arm under her head. So she can use it as a pillow. "Yea" she trails her finger on his chest "I wouldn't mind spending the night up here". "Me neither, but we need to go to the party. So let's stay like this for a bit" he finally looks at her. Seeing her beautiful eyes always brought him this feeling he hasn't felt in a long time. She moves towards his lips and captures them with hers. Once they separates, Jinx's scroll rings. She doesn't want to but it must be important. She unwraps herself from Jaune and stands up and goes over to where they left their scrolls. On a table they had up there. She sees who it is and gets annoyed "Fucking Juliet" she picks up. "What is it?!... No, I already told you. Tonight is just me and Johnny... we can have a-" her annoyed expression changes to confusion. "What do you mean by 'Turn around now'. What are you distracting me fro-" she turns to something that makes her drop her scroll. Jaune is on one knee with a ring in his left hand. Showing her this big diamond on a silver band. "Jinx Quinn, will you make my life bright as you promised me on our first date. By marrying me?" seeing her tear up.

--

He became sad by the memory of the last night he was with her. "JAUNE COME DOWN HERE. WE GOT THE BULLS IN!" . Jonathan calls him from down stairs. "Sorry Mira but I got to go and see what he needs" he leaves. Timmy opens the door and looks at Jaune's retreating figure. Mira looks at him and knows that he was listening to them. Ever since the night Violet made that promise to him. Many couples came around asking for him. But he would always hide from the meetings or say he didn't want to meet the couples. Cause he wants to see Violet again. Timmy has tears already present and is wiping them away with the sleeves of his new hoodie. Mira picks him up and carries him "Don't worry Timmy, he'll come around".
