The more I think about a spin off series with team JNPR the more it makes sense. Just think of all that could happen for all the characters we already have as a main cast. Nora and Ren could be given time to work through their relationship problems, Jaune could work to be a better huntsmen and team leader penny could be given a arc to come to terms with the fact she's a maiden And bound with her new team.

Then there's the fact they would need a villain for the team and who better than are resident ice Queen and specialists winter. She could blame them for the fall of atlas and the death of Ironwood because of how team rwby interfered with the generals plans. If she became the big bad by trying to force military rule on the people believing it to be the only right course of action it would push JNPR to fight for the people's freedom. So much to think about while I wrote this chapter it's crazy.

How long had he been standing here listening to weiss tell him off? Actually scratch that, he hadn't been listening at all but apparently she hadn't realized that yet. In away it was kinda funny watching her wiggle around in front of him all while completely blocking out her voice.

"Are you listening to me"?

"Yes"? The words came out slowly.

Weiss crossed her arm's and gave him a look like she didn't believe the answer he gave "really"? A trick question obviously but he had to be sure "if I said yes again would you make me repeat what you said"? Weiss pinched the bridge and muttered something angrily to herself "I don't know why I even bother sometimes".

Jaune gave a light shrug "I think it's because you care a lot about other people". The answer was a safe one or so he thought but weiss's glare popped that idea "it was a rhetorical question you dolt". Her response caused him to lean slightly away just in case she had any ideas about punishing him for his stupid response.

Weiss took a deep breath to calm herself down before addressing him again "look that doesn't matter, why don't you start by returning the dust you stole". Jaune looked down at the dust vials in his arms before looking back to weiss "I didn't steal these". His argument didn't seem to convince the heiress "then explain to me why your carrying the dust vials I brought specifically for my stay at Beacon in your arm's".

Jaune's foot pointed in the direction of a specialized suit case that was designed to hold dust vials. Weiss's eye's followed his foot to see her suitcase on it's side and opened with it's contents missing. Silence spread through the area as jaune waited for the girl to say something and after a brief second she turned to him once again.

She shuffled in place before putting on a mask of neutrality much like winter did when she made a mistake. "It would seem that I might have jumped into a horrible misunderstanding and I would like to thank you for helping to gather my belongings so thank you". The gratitude she gave was followed by a slight bow of her head "without further delay I shall be on my way".

A snap of her fingers and the butler's came around and took the dust from his arms before loading them into the suitcase. Once the vials were loaded up and the suitcase was placed on the trolley, weiss stepped away from him and headed for the school. Once she was a few feet away jaune called out to her "hey snow angel that wasn't really an apology".

Weiss froze for a brief second to control her frustration before continuing onward and away to the auditorium. Jaune shook his head with a small grin and was going to follow when his scroll began to ring. Pulling the white scroll from his pocket he flipped the device in his hand so he could see who was calling only to see a giant letter V on the front.

Jaune didn't even hesitate to accept and waited for the callers face to appear. The screen flickered and a dark skinned woman with icy blue eyes and short hair appeared. It had been only half a year since he last saw her and they couldn't really call each other since he spent more and more time around Ozpins agents.

Vernal didn't say anything at first and just stared at the screen until jaune spoke "you know you called me first right"? The question was taken about as well as he expected when a scowl grew across her features "I know that idiot I was just thinking of what to say". Jaune chuckled lightly "most people start with a hi or hello so hey Vernal it's good to see you again".

"Now your just fucking with me".

"It's all in good fun. Anyways was there something you needed cause you normally don't call". Once more vernal stayed silent for a few seconds before coming to terms with something. She took a deep breath before speaking "I need your...need...gah I need your help".

Jaune's smile turned gentle "wow that must have been pretty painful especially with all the pride you got". Vernal grumbled something about idiot blondes that he couldn't quite make out so he chose to ignore it. "So you need my help? Well I can't say I expected this so early in the day but you know I'm here for you whenever you need me".

There was a slight tint to her cheeks that was barely visible "yeah, if only" she said with her voice no higher than a whisper. Her composer returned and she had a serious expression on her face as she spoke "it's about cinder, I'm hoping you can find time to speak with me in vale".

A troubled expression came over his features at the request "I'd like to say sure but I don't exactly know the schedule for this place yet. Do you think we can postpone this conversation until I know when I'm free"? The look on vernals face said she wasn't sure so he decided to sweeten the deal since she'd have to wait on him.

"I'll buy drinks" he said hopefully.

"With alcohol"?

"With alcohol".

"Deal".

Vernal looked entirely too pleased with the idea that she scored free drinks from him that it immediately had him regretting his decision. Jaune looked at the top corner and noticed that ten minutes had passed "damn I gotta go, already late for the opening speech from the headmaster". His smile grew slightly "I'll contact you at a later date" the message was clear and vernal nodded slightly "be careful" she returned.

The call ended and jaune put the scroll back in his pocket before rushing off to the auditorium for what was left of Ozpins speech.

Ruby's eye's shifted from left to right hoping to find the only male from their group who wasn't there. A arm wrapped around ruby's neck and pulled her into pillow mountains that threaten to suffocate her.

Yang watched her little cousin struggle to pull herself away from her but with the kinda strength yang had she need not even bother trying. Eventually she lowered her head to speak to the small girl who gave up trying to get away "jaunes a big boy and in case you forgot he can take care of himself". Ruby's voice was filled with worry "do you think he's still mad at me"?

After they left jaune and the airship, yang pulled ruby aside to explain in detail why exactly jaune had blown up like he did. Now that ruby knew the why, she had been on the lookout for their companion to apologize. Yang rested her chin on ruby's head and let out a sigh "I don't know ruby. He was angry when he took off but maybe he cooled down outside somewhere".

The answer ruby was given didn't seem to fill her with much confidence and she slacked in Yangs arm's. Just a few feet away from their conversation was jaune, arm's crossed and leaning on heavily on his right leg. He could've joined the others but decided not to since things were a little awkward with ruby right now.

Once the headmaster and Glynda Goodwitch finished with their speech all students were given a slight free time but would be required to sleep in the ballroom that night. The students dispersed and jaune vanished with the crowd to make sure Yang, Ruby and Blake didn't see him. Free time came and went quickly with night quickly overtaking the day leaving all the students to gather in the ballroom with sleeping bags.

Ruby continued to write down some of the days events so she could send them to her friends back at signal but would stop to look around in the hopes she'd see jaune around. It was strange that he'd been missing the entire time they got here to the point that yang and Blake helped look for him. Eventually with no luck the three decided that he'd show up when it was time for sleep but even then ruby couldn't find him anywhere.

Eventually her thoughts became muddled and her writing slowed to a crawl so she decided to put her notes away. Yang plopped down next to ruby with Blake following close behind "no site of him yet" yang asked. Ruby's response was to bury her head in her pillow and give a tiny whine that was barely audible to them.

Upstairs on the balcony jaune looked down at the sleepwear that He was positive he didn't pack. A terrible looking onesie stared back at him "I'm gonna kill Dexter" it went without saying he knew who the culprit was since it was Dexter who tried to get him to wear it once. The pajama was crumpled into a ball and thrown from the balcony as the wind caught it and flew it out of Beacon never to be seen again.

Shadows approach from behind but never gave off any intent to kill so jaune kept his cool and turned to see Ren and Nora. "So-" Ren started "-what would you like to know"?

Beacon initiation...I wonder if I should add a little originality to it. Wonder what you all think I should do? What kinda teams could be made? Great here comes the avalanche of problems called the imagination. I wonder if I got enough juice to do something unexpected...we'll see. Oh before I forget happy 4th of July everyone.
