Jaune is feeling cooler than a cucumber right now. Got some training in, survived Dr. Oobleck without pulling another "binoculars", got the DLC, life is looking good.

Though RWBY and Pyrrha were not in the class. Wonder why…

But pay no mind to that right now! Time for a quick break to the JNPR dorm!

He walks into the dorm and sees no one. But there is a note on Ren's bed…

To anyone who may walk in while I am not here:

I am in the library searching for Nora. I sent her on a mission to look after the world's largest pancake, and it's been XX hours and she hasn't returned. Please find me in the library if you have any information.

-Ren

-️-️-️-️Jaune POV️-️-️-️-

Guess I know where I'm going next! I head down to the library and look for Ren.

But not for long, as he is on the first computer terminal, with hands typing like a madman and multiple books and maps strewn about, almost looking like a conspiracy theorist at this point.

"Hey Ren, I saw your note. Lemme see if that Team Health app still works…"

Jaune checks the app, and lo and behold, it does! Although it does say will be deactivated at midnight… that's a nice change…?

Never mind that. Time to find a Nora.

He checks the locations of the team members…

Jaune - This is you!
Pyrrha - 0.3 miles away
Ren - 0.001 cm away

"Please, gimme some space Ren! I know it's Nora but gosh!"

"Sorry."

Refresh…

Ren - 5 feet away
Nora - 352.8 miles away

"352 miles away! That's gotta be all the way over in Atlas!" He taps her profile and selects the map and sure enough, she's in Atlas, somewhere in an unlisted building.

"Probably a pancake factory." I mutter to myself.

"How the hell did she get over there?!"

"Aren't you two attached at the hip? Hasn't she been updating you on all of this?"

"Not helpfully! Every time I ask 'Where are you?' the only reply I get is 'Looking for the world's largest pancake!'"

"Pfft! That's so Nora."

"That's the problem! I'm gonna go find her!"

And Ren is gone. Now not a single member from either team is here to hang out with me! What the hell do I do now?

I decide to take over the terminal that Ren left behind. Holy hell there's a lot of lines on that map. And almost 50 tabs open? Nora must really have a hold on him…

Time to eschew all that and play Grimm Wars 2 on a big screen!


I really could say something after every other line, but I would be repeating the same complaints so often you all would probably fall asleep. Just about everything is wrong in some way or another. I'll do one here: Somehow he has the video game Grimm Wars 2 despite getting interrupted on the way to get it earlier. How? Magic!


After being fawned over like the most cutest gift-wrapped little baby, Ruby Rose has FINALLY returned to Remnant.


Most cutest is not as good as most poutiest.


"...uggh!" She stretches her arms out. WBP are all staring at her.

"Nice of you to join us."

"What happened?"

Weiss snorts involuntarily. Blake has no choice but to fill her in.

It takes quite a bit of time for this one… but after it is over, Ruby looks displeased.

"Who let me drink that muc-" "YANG!" the rest loudly exclaim to avoid suspicion.

It seems to work as Ruby just sighs loudly, wishing she didn't cause that much trouble for the team.

Since classes are almost over, they all decide to just take the rest of the day off.

Pyrrha breaks the silence. "Glad that's over. So what do we do about Jaune?"

"Do we really have to?"

"Yes, we have to. He's not getting expelled. Any ideas as to how to get him to 'resign'?"

Weiss perks up at the language being used. Now this is how the ice princess likes it!

"How about I just trap him in a block of ice?"

"But he might break out. Then what?"

"More ice."

"Weiss we are all taking part in this, he is not gonna be your little pet."

"Harumph!" Did she actually just make that sound? It's still more than Blake and Ruby have said in the past 10 minutes, however.

"Whatever. You three don't wanna talk right now. Forever Fall is tomorrow. Let's think up a plan then."

Everyone cheers!


Weiss hates Jaune, but wants to keep him as a pet. Good personality for this universe's future stuff I suppose. Certainly not anything reasonable, however.


Ozpin is back in his office, reviewing the progress of Jaune during Day 1 of the training. Tomorrow is Forever Fall, and he needs to be sure that Jaune will do a good job trying to gather the jar of sap.


It's a field trip. He's getting a jar of sap. The training has no bearing on this! This one pisses me off the most compared to my other mistakes.


"He's doing great! Glynda is really throwing the book at him early, but I do see the promise!"

But that's only one small part of the massive, massive list of problems that have been spawned from the transcript situation. One needs to look no further than the Vale newspaper for the first case…

Hammer-wielding princess lords over Pancake Company!

We're here with the princess herself, Nora Valkyrie, who is just about to be transported to Atlas. Ok Ms. Valkryie, why are you being taken to Atlas?

"Because that's where they will make the world's largest pancake! Just for me!"

How did you get the company to do that for you?

"Easy! I just threatened them with my hammer and down they went! OOH! That's my bullhead! Gotta run now. Say hi to Renny for me! Mwah!"

Ozpin looks up to the included picture, which features Nora holding Magnhild like a baseball bat. The hammer is absolutely drenched in butter and flour. But what piques his interest the most is the three executives looking like they are about to shit their pants.

"What the hell did she do?! Oh no…"

But there's no time for that. Yet.


This is the first reference to that pancake backstory that was pushed off to neverland. It would have been fun...


The second problem is much closer to home, specifically in the form of one clothes-addicted second year, Coco Adel.

Team CFVY's Dorm
9:30 AM

This is the best day of my life!

"Here you are, Miss Adel. Your models are ready."

I look over and see three beeeeeeeeeeeautiful~ models wearing the same nice dress, one in a passionate scarlet red, one in a snowy white, and one in a watery blue.


Damn, that's some great adjectiving there. Not!


"The red one!"

"Ok Miss Adel. Anything else you want today?"

"Yes please, that beautiful shirt over there!" I point to a shirt with a striped pattern, U-shaped neck, and a very short sleeve, almost to the point of being a tank top.

"Right away miss!" The poor, poor clothesboy makes his way over. That is the third one they have had to use after the previous two got heatstroke and almost died.

I look over to the clothes pile on my left. With over 20 shirts already, now I have the perfect shirt for anything! I push a little too hard and it falls over on top of me, messing up my hair a bit.

"Aaah! Quick, someone get this off me!"

Another clothesboy is there to get them off. There's just one problem though… the feel of the clothes is not gone?

Why is it still there? And why is everything getting blurry? Please don't tell me this is a dream! No no no no! Don't drag me out of heeeeeeeeeere…

My eyes flutter open. It's almost completely black, with just a hint of light purple. It's the clothes from earlier!

My hands try to brush away all the clothes, but there is just more. It never ends. I keep going and going and going and going and finally! A clearing!

I raise myself up and OH! MY! OUM! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

It looks like a war zone. Clothes are absolutely everywhere. All of the floor is covered. I can't even see the bottom bunks. I look over and see Fox, somehow, on top of all the clothes on the other side, sleeping like a baby. I'm gonna have to ask about that later...

"ACHOO!"

I see some clothes move. That's gotta be-

I race to grab her from under the clothes pile. I completely forgot about her! It's not that deep where she is, so I grab her arm and easily pull her out.

"Vel! Why are you wearing a parka?!"

"Coco! Why are you wearing lingerie?!"

Am I really wearing- oh shit! I am!

"Do I look good?"

"W-w-w-w- of course you do!" A small blush paints her cheeks and her ears droop.

"Thanks Vel! Do you see my clothes down there?"

Silence.

"I know! There's in the bathroom! Thank Oum I didn't let the others convince me not to put some there! Let's go Vel!"


Besides the missing word, this also could be interpreted as referring to the clothes I literally just mentioned, not what I actually meant, which was a spare uniform. Bad sentencing.


I grab her arm and lead us to the bathroom. Thank Oum for my strength, as I can head the door crying as it pushes all the clothes aside. The door shuts behind us.

Vel quickly grabs us both of our normal uniforms and we change into them.

"What are we supposed to do now?!"

"Let me see…" Velvet opens her scroll.

"It says 'Training with Jaune' at 8 AM."

8 AM? It's past 9:30!

"All of us?!"

"Yep. Yatsuhashi's probably already over there."

"Bah! He'll be fine! Yatsu won't kill him. Help me clean all the clothes up!"

I drag the door open and shove Vel into the clothes pile.

"Well? Clean!"

"Y-y-y-yes ma'am!"


I too shove my friends into piles of clothes when I want them to clean it up. You mean you don't?


The cleaning took several agonizing hours, folding things up and putting it into a closet which looked way, way too small to fit it all. Yatsu came back from his training/lunch about ¾ of the way in.

"Hey Yatsu! Help me clean this shit!"

. . .

"I need to tend to the flowers real quick."

"Yatsu please no come back you-" Velvet puts a hand over my mouth.

Meanwhile, on an area of clothes still untouched by the fashionable duo, Fox remains unmoving. He is currently "dreaming" about Oum knows what. But nobody sees the headphones connected to his scroll that is in his pocket.

Or the smile he cracks after hearing about Yatsu's "plight".

Even he knows when to stay away from the minigun.

(A/N: The Coco flashback section went way longer than expected so I'm cutting it right here. We'll get to Jaune getting fucked over by RWBYP+ eventually. I promise. Probably.)
