The following morning, Jaune was setting up for Weiss' birthday. Sure, Weiss had servants to set it up, but he wanted to do it. He decorated the ballroom where the party would be held. Jaune even asked Willow if he could move the piano into the ballroom so he could do a performance for Weiss.
On the other hand, Weiss was out with Yang and the others so that Jaune had time to set up everything. Weiss being Weiss, was happy to show everyone around Atlas. However, for some reason, they ended up at Atlas Academy, where they are sparring with team FNKI.
Back with Jaune, he moved all the gifts prepared by everyone to a single table. After setting up the room for the party, Jaune headed to the kitchen to prepare some food for the party. For this, Jaune even took out the new knife he got in the system store that cost 10,000,000 credits. The knife was Derous Knife.
Jaune went to his Dimensional Farm to pick the ingredients he needed and butchered a pig, 4 chickens and a cow. It was done so quickly, painlessly and effortlessly by Jaune. Satisfied with all the ingredients he got. Jaune left his Dimensional Farm to get cooking.
The family chef of the Schnee family didn't like how Jaune took over their kitchen. Mind you, Jaune asked permission to Willow if he could use the kitchen, but the workers there still did not like Jaune's presence. So, Jaune ignored them and cooked all the dishes with his fresh ingredients.
After a few hours of cooking, Jaune was nearly done. However, he realised that he had to make a cake for Weiss, and he didn't know the type of cake she liked. Until he remembered how Weiss used to talk about her cake butler.
Jaune saw Klein, the butler who showed the most care for Weiss and her family.
"Excuse me," Jaune said. "You're Klein, right?".
"Ah, that's right, Mr Arc," Klein said. "Is there anything I can do for you?".
"Yes, there is, if you don't mind," Jaune said. Klein then nodded at him. "I was wondering if you know who the cake butler is? Weiss talks about him a lot at Beacon".
"Why that would be me, Mr Arc," Klein said. "Is there something you need of me?".
"Well, I've already cooked all the food for Weiss' birthday party," Jaune said. "But there is still the matter of the cake. I have no clue as to what cake Weiss likes".
"Her favourite cake is a strawberry shortcake," Klein said. "But that's not a viable birthday cake. However, you can make one just for her while the others get to eat a different kind of cake".
"That's a wonderful idea!" Jaune said. "Thanks, Klein!".
Jaune then returned to the kitchen to make the cake for Weiss. Willow then saw Jaune run into the kitchen. She went to Klein and asked him what was up with Jaune.
"Ah! He asked what type of cake Weiss would like," Klein told Willow. "He then ran into the kitchen to bake a cake just for Weiss and another for the guests".
"He's quite talented, isn't he?" Willow said. "He's apparently a Huntsman-in-training, but he has so many different talents. You should have seen the painting he made for Weiss as a gift".
"He can paint?" Klein said. Willow smiled at him and showed Klein a picture that she had taken. "That's quite a painting".
"This photo does the painting no justice," Willow said. "Once you see the real thing, you'll understand".
With Weiss and the other is Atlas Academy. They completed their sparring session. Team FNKI was regretting their decision to spar with Team RWBY. They thought their training after the Vytal festival was enough to overcome team RWBY, but nope, they got ass kicked.
"Oh, man! I thought we totally got you this time," Flynt said. "You still got moves from the last time we fought".
"Of course!" Weiss said. "If you have a friend like Jaune who can do incredible feats, you tend to work harder than usual".
"Jaune Arc, the winner of the Vytal Festival?" Flynt said. Everyone nodded at him. "You know, in his team, I thought the Invincible Girl would be the one going to the finals. So, between Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos, which of them is stronger?".
"Oh, that's an easy answer!" Nora said. "Jaune all the way! He kicked all of our collective ass all on his own without a sweat!".
"Whoa! Invincible Girl ain't so invincible after all," Flynt said. "That's a surprise".
"Oh! I want to see if Jaune can stand his ground against Winter," Neon said. "That would be one hell of a fight to watch".
"Look, I love Winter, and I've idolised my sister for a long time," Weiss said. "But you don't understand just how strong Jaune is. He isn't like us".
"Ain't no way that's true," Flynt said. "The requirement for being a specialist is strict. There is no way a Huntsman-in-training like us can fight against a specialist like Winter".
"You know," Weiss said. "I think I just got a great idea. I'm having a birthday party today. Why don't you come and join us? I think I can find a way to ask Jaune to have a little sparring with Jaune. We can see who would win then".
"A party? That's my kind of jam!" Flynt said. "Alright, we'll be there".
"Oh! I hope it will be a cool party," Neon said. "We haven't had one of those in a while. Atlas is quite strict".
Back in the Schnee Manor with Jaune, he was finished baking the personal cake for Weiss and the cake for everyone else. Willow looked into the kitchen to see how Jaune was doing, and she was shocked at the amount of food that Jaune had cooked. She wanted to taste one of the dishes, but Jaune smacked her hand and said no touching until the party.
"Just a little, please?" Willow said. "Just a taste. It smells delightful".
"No way! You'll have to wait until everyone is gathered for the party," Jaune said. "I prepared all this for Weiss. She gets to have the first taste".
"Fine!" Willow pouted. This is the first time anyone has said no to her that isn't Jacques. "But I get the second bite after Weiss!".
"Sure, no problem," Jaune said. "Now, shoo. I need to bring all this food to the ballroom where the party will be held".
"By the way," Willow said. "I thought that the party would only consist of Weiss and her friends. If that's the case, why did you make so much food?".
"Pfft! Ha-ha-ha-ha! You probably don't know this," Jaune said. "But Weiss and all her friends are bigger eaters. According to them, was my fault since the food I cook is so delicious. Today's amount of food isn't much more than the usual I make while at Beacon. That's how big of an eater Weiss and the others are".
"Oh, my," Willow said. "How can she keep her figure so well while eating so much? I, on the other hand, have a hard time maintaining my figure as is. I'm even planning to lose a bit of weight".
"Hmm…You look fine as you are," Jaune said while looking at Willow's body. "You don't need to lose any weight".
"Uhm…Ahem! Thank you for the compliment," Willow said. "But you don't have to say such fluttering words to this old lady. I know that I don't look as beautiful as I used to be".
"Old? You don't look that old," Jaune said. "Plus, you're quite beautiful. You have this mature alluring look to you".
Willow's heart skipped a beat at Jaune's words. She hasn't been called beautiful in a long time. And whenever someone is talking to her in such a way, they are trying to curry favour. But Jaune wasn't. Her intuition is telling her that he is being sincere.
Then again, her intuition failed her for a long time. However, Willow composed herself as she knew there was no reason for Jaune to curry favour with her. He has everything she has and more. This realisation made her blush.
"I-I…I…uhm…I have other things to do," Willow said while she blushed. "I need to get ready for Weiss' birthday party".
Willow left as fast as she could. She was holding her chest and breathing heavily.
"What is wrong with me?!" Willow thought. "Jaune is my daughter's friend and is quite young".
Willow doesn't know that Jaune is 49-years-old due to him using (Martial Arts Practice - 10 years) three times, plus the time he spent outside of Remnant. So, technically, Jaune is as old as Willow.
