So you guys wants some more rock huh, well then I will give to you guys. I'm just a bit shocked that most of you like rock, and second classical.
Like seriously, you guys don't like RnB? Just saying.
Anyway, here we go!
It's been 7:21 pm and Jaune is still at the convenience store. He was thinking on what should he cook for dinner. Well, Jaune wants something simple. So he just bought some two cups of ramen, a can of lemon-flavored beer, and a small sachet of mayonnaise, so he can use it for his omelette in his dinner.
He was going to the counter, so he can purchase his stuff. Jaune remembers about the headmaster told him, he was lucky that Professor Ozpin is the only person at Beacon that knows about Jaune being one of the most popular but anonymous artist, J. He doesn't know why did the headmaster gives him the permission to take his leave for Soda's recording, but he keeps it in mind at what the headmaster said before he departs.
"Remember Mr. Arc, never forget that you enrolled in this academy to be a huntsman. So no matter where you are, you must seek the ones who in danger and in need."
That is all that the headmaster said, that's why he brings he's Crocea Mors and trains all by himself, so he will stay in shape. He noted every tips that Pyrrha taught him. Jaune gets to the counter to buy his food and leaves the convenience store.
While he walks back to the apartment, his thoughts wandered what is his team and team RWBY doing right now.
'I wonder what are they doing right now.' Jaune thought to himself, but little did he know that they already know that they found out about his little secret in his scroll.

Jaune arrived at the apartment. As he walks to the elevator, he noticed someone who's checking in at the reception area. A girl assuming in early 20s with pink and long-wavy hair, she was wearing a pink sweater, a blue wavy hoop-skirt, and beige short heels. Jaune takes a glimpse seeing that these girls looks familiar.
'Is it me, or this girl looks familiar?' Jaune thought to himself as he shrugged and walks in the elevator and presses the 3rd floor button. 'Maybe I'm just tired, better cook for dinner and take a rest.'
Now to the reception area. The male receptionist gives the keys to this pink-haired girl giving her a pleasant smile.
"Have a good stay, Ms. Seraphine." the receptionist said in awestruck, and that this pink-haired girl, is the Rising Star, Seraphine.
"Thank you, mister." Seraphine waves with a friendly smile bringing her baggage and her pet cage. Before she walks to the elevator the receptionist called her. She looks back and saw that the receptionist is right in front of her with a poster of her and a marker.
"Can you give me an autograph." the receptionist favored as Seraphine nodded gladly and takes his poster to gives him an autograph.
"Here you go, mister." Seraphine said as the receptionist jumps in joy.
"Thank you, Ms. Seraphine. I'm such a fan of yours!" the receptionist chirped jovially that make Seraphine giggled in amusement.
"Your welcome, you're one of the reasons why I'm a rising star now. Because of my fans who believe in me and support me in every step of my career, I won't be here at Vale to perform live concerts. So thank you for supporting me, good sir." Seraphine smiled in appreciation as the receptionist teared up comically and claps gently.
"That is so heart-warming Ms. Seraphine! Don't worry, I will always be your fan." the receptionist chimed and it make Seraphine giggled.

Seraphine is now in the 3rd floor to look for her room. She carries her baggage and count each room numbers as she passes by.
"Ok so now where is my room?" Seraphine muttered to herself and starts to count. "305, 306, 307... Ah! There it is... 308." She locates her room, she opens her pet cage to reveal a white cat.
"Come on, Bao. Let's get in to our new home." Seraphine said to her cat as the cat meowed and walks in to her new room. And also, 307 is Jaune's room which means Seraphine is his new neighbor.
It's 7:30 pm and Team RWBY and NPR wants more of Jaune's amazing music. They can't get enough of it, they must listen more of Jaune's great talent.
"I. Want. More!" the red reaper of team RWBY squeaked cutely.
"Easy there, Rubes. It's 7:30 and you still want more? Huh." Yang chuckled at her sister's antics.
"It's nighttime. I think we should all get some rest and continue this for tomorrow." Weiss suggested making them frown the idea.
"Come on, Weiss we want more of his music! Ain't that right guys." Ruby asked as everyone nodded. The heiress just slumps down in defeat.
"Yeah! I think we should hear more, losers!" They heard someone called them. The gang looks at the door and saw Sun and Neptune, wearing t-shirt and shorts.
"Sun! Neptune! What are you doing here?" Blake questioned in shock as Sun and Neptune grinned
"Well, while me and my buddy, Neptune just passed by. We heard some cool rock music outside your dorm." Sun stated "So you know what, we just get to look for ourselves about whose this new rock star." Neptune added. Team RWBY and NPR look at one another, and they were about to tell them who's these "rock star" is.
"Well it's... Jaune." Ruby said making Sun and Neptune tilted their heads.
"What about him?" Sun asked
"He's the 'rock star' that you guys talking about." Yang quoted bluntly as Sun and Neptune blinks twice. They scoffed in disbelief that Jaune Arc is the one that they heard in the hallway earlier. And Yang will prove it.
"Not convinced? Here are some proof." Yang pointed at the television and quickly shows few of Jaune's music in pop, rock, rap, and so on so forth. Their jaws drop, they know that Jaune is a terrible since he tries to ask Weiss to the dance with his terrible guitar skills. But now this new to the two of them.
"Wait for real!" Sun exclaimed "I never knew Jaune is so good at singing." Neptune mused.
"Well, what you can say. We were shocked as well." Blake added
"Enough the talking guys, let's just listen more of Jaune's music now." Nora suggested as Sun and Neptune sits down and want to watch and listen more of it. Ren takes the remote and choose which music that looks interesting to him. He noticed a title named 'What I've Done' as he presses the play button.
(What I've Done by Linkin Park)
The video starts as the grass is reversing in growth. There is a stage centered in the middle of the desert, the music starts to rock. The video shows multiple scenes or scenarios that happened in the past. The Great War, The Faunus War, Faunus Slavery, The White Fang, Grimm attacks, drugs and many more.
This something that is so bitter and sad to them. The past is filled with horrible events, especially to Blake, and Jaune is showing it to them.
"Damn, look at all of this chaos in the past." Neptune commented sadly
"Yeah pretty sad, I don't know why people do such destruction." Sun commented
In this farewell
There's no blood, there's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
"This is like the Great War and Faunus War, Why is Jaune showing this?" Nora questioned.
"I think, he wants to show us how greed and destructive humans are. And this really saddens me." Ren stated
Put to rest what you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
"Damn, this music seems really deep. Although... I really love it! Jaune rocks." Neptune commented
"Yeah, beats me, but I wonder..." Sun hummed and cup his chin. "If Jaune have this amazing music and creating each and every genre. Then why didn't he post this in Vstream? For sure if he does, he will be an instant celebrity." Sun wondered as well as the rest of them. Why wouldn't Jaune upload this in Vstream, for sure he will be a very well known artist, right? But truth to be told he was already known by the people, but anonymously.
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
Forgiving what I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
(Na na na na)
(End Song)
Just as the video end. They could still feel how Jaune sing this song. It was full of emotions, and the sour events of the past. Team RWBY and NPR were expecting Jaune will something to say, but that's all that it is.
"That is... one way to show the horrible past, but all I'm gonna say is... Jaune rocks!" Sun exclaimed enthusiastically in the last part of his words.
"But why do you think Jaune made this music video though?" Yang questioned.
"I think Jaune was to tell us, that we should fight for a better future. It's not the grimm is the only enemy, but also the evil within humanity. That's why are huntsmen and huntresses, to fight the forces of evil and darkness, and never repeat the past itself." Ruby stated and all of them were awed by Ruby's little speech as it registered to their minds.
"Ahh, that's my baby sis!" Yang chirped playfully as she wrap her arms around and rubs her knuckles at her sister's head.
"Yang! N-no... stop that!" Ruby struggled, making them laughed at the sight of the sisters while Yang stops.
"Hehe, sorry Rubes." Yang chuckled playfully.
"Enough of that, now it's time for another song." Nora said as she grabs the remote. She was thinking more of Jauney's rock, so she chooses one song that will rock there nights before they sleep. And she chose a title 'Riot'
'Hoho, this will be good.' Nora thought to herself as she presses the video
(Riot by Three Day Grace (Audio))
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
"Oh Yeah! This is rock!" Nora and Ruby exclaimed enthusiastically
"The guitar, the bass... everything is so pumped up! I can say Jaune is such a genius and creative when it comes to music." Neptune mused
"But the song, it's full of... anger." Pyrrha muttered in worry.
If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up
"Damn, I can feel Vomit-boy's anger here." Yang blurted
"What's with Arc? He sounds so angry here." Weiss snarked, this was the first timne she heard the dunce sings in pure rage.
"This is new, I've never hear him sing in rage." Blake muttered, and it just worried her a bit that Jaune is so angry in this song.
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
"Let's start riot!" Nora, Ruby, and Sun shouted while posing like rock stars and bangs there heads.
"Geez man, get a hold of yourself." Neptune groaned at his partner's hyperactiveness.
"Nah, your lame Nep." Sun said and put his tongue out, mocking Neptune.
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
(End Song)
Nora, Ruby, and Sun's hype went down as they panted out of exhaustion. But all-in-all, they really enjoy it.
"Yeah... *sigh* that is one hell of a song." Ruby panted in exhaustion
"I never know that listening to rock can be this exhausting." Nora groaned feeling exhausted.
"I have listen too much of this rock music, so I think we should all have to take some rest. We still have training for tomorrow." Weiss said suggestively and fortunetly everyone agreed, but Pyrrha noticed that the video is not ended yet.
"Wait, look the video is still not yet done." Pyrrha stated and all of them blinked in confusion as they look back to the television.
In the video, they saw Jaune as usual. Wearing his signature hoodie minus the armor, as it sets in nighttime while he drinks his coffee.
"So hello, umm... I just got home in my dorm for a while." Jaune sighed exhaustedly as he puts down his coffee.
"Oh, look it's Jaune." Sun commented
"Jaune looks exhausted here, what's with him?" Neptune wondered
"I remember, this is the time when Jaune comes home late because of... Cardin." Ren narrowed his eyes just by saying the jerk's name, much to the ticked-off team RWBY when they heard that name.
"So yeah, I made this song because... I'm so angry and frustrated that I sing this to let out my anger." Jaune reasoned as he clench his fist and looks at the window.
"But, it's ok I feel better now... anyways time to get some good ol' sleep." Jaune said with a cheeky grin and thinks about what is he going to do to his buddy Carding Fucking Winchester.
"Well, tomorrow... time to face Cardin." Jaune muttered with a sly smirk as the video.
Team RWBY and NPR smiled gladly that his rage didn't clouded his mind. And now it's time to get some sleep.
"Well, that is one thing... anyways me and Neptune should get back. Goodnight, We will be here tomorrow afternoon." Sun and Neptune waved while yawning.
"All right team RWBY, time to rest." Ruby said as they all stand up and get to there bunk beds, with team NPR going back to there dorms.
"I will keep Jauney's scroll for now." Nora said as they nod and leaves the room.
"Goodnight team RWBY." Ruby yawns as everyone tells there goodnights and the lights turn off.
It's been an exhausting night to our blonde knight. Tomorrow afternoon, he will go to Soda's studio to start record and writing songs all night so he must get some sleep.
Jaune wears his white shirt and blue short instead of his silly onesies. Everything is on scheduled, well that's what he though he guess.
"Well, time to sleep." Jaune muttered as he close the lamps. When his sleepiness takes over his mind and relaxed his body, he suddenly heard his scroll ring.
*RRRIINGG*
He wakes up in annoyance and groans. He wondered who the hell calls him this late night. He picks up his scroll and answer it in irritation.
"Hello, who's this?" Jaune asked in annoyance until he realize whose the caller
"Yow, what up homeboy"
"CHRIS!"
So yup, Chris Brown everybody. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. Shoutout to JungleR by the way, he suggest me some songs that Jaune and Seraphine can duet, but... I might also think to add Ariana in this fic and I also think some few songs that the two can duet.
All We Know by Chainsmokers ft. Phoebe Ryan
Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar ft. Anna Wise (I thought this that, this song will be Seraphine's first rap song with Jaune. And of course it will be hilarious and ridiculous so this song is a big no.)
Leave a review for song requests.
