Hey, everyone I know it's been awhile since my last update and I know some of you are eager for this update and the next. It has been kind of hard right now in my life because one of my family members has gotten really sick and I haven't really had much time to write. I am splitting up my chapters to at least get them out, so I thank all of you for your patience and support.
Chapter Seven: Winter's party Part 1.
"You're wearing that?" Ren asked Jaune as he was getting his clothes ready for Weiss to go to Winter's Birthday party.
"Yeah, why what's wrong with it?" Jaune asked while he wore the tux from the Beacon Dance.
"Well for starters where did you get the bow tie, it looks ridicules and while on the subject, don't you dare bring that fez with you at the party you don't want a repeat of what happened at the dance do you? You don't want to have to wear that ridiculous dress now do you?" Ren said in a somewhat disgusted manner.
"What happened last time again?" Jaune asked half knowing the questioned he asked.
"You got beat up over the course for two weeks and team CRDL didn't make it any easier on you as well." Ren said crossing his arms remembering the week he had spent most of his time protecting his leader and keeping Nora from breaking team CRDL apart, because he didn't want to hear her complain about detention for the next month.
"Oh, yeah kind of forgot all the beatings I've gotten throughout the year." Jaune said with a sarcastic laugh. "Well what do you have in mind then Ren." Jaune said pointing to Ren. Ren got up and took away the bow tie and threw it away. "Hey that was my lucky bow tie!" Jaune said to Ren, while he extended out his arm to grab the bow tie, but Ren stopped him by grabbing his arm and saying "Bow ties like those have been out of date for about 30 years now.".
"But it was my dad's bow tie" Jaune said sulking. "You need to be presentable in front of Weiss's sister and her family, because the goofball way isn't going to work." Ren said getting a chair for Jaune to sit in. "What are we doing?" Jaune asked ask Ren with a what the heck is he doing look on his face. "Weiss asked me to teach you some manners since the only other person she knows anything about manners." Ren said as he turned to his leader with a platter. "Now how much food do you need to consume from this platter?" Ren said as he proposed the platter to Jaune. "uhh…. two or three?" Jaune said out of total confusion.
"No!" Ren said slapping his leader across the face "You eat one and wait for the person holding the plate to question you if you would care for another." "Why did you hit me so hard?" Jaune said holding his cheek that was in pain. "Because you won't be just representing yourself you'll be representing Weiss, Winter, and especially me since I'll be teaching you about etiquette." Ren said as he put the platter down to move on to the next lesson. "Since the party is tomorrow you need a crash course in etiquette as soon as possible." Ren said as he got chairs for him and Jaune to sit in. "This is going to be a long night isn't it?" Jaune asked Ren. "It will be if you keep complaining, now on to arrival time, when should you and Weiss arrive at the party?" Ren asked picking up his frying pan and getting ready to hit his leader. "Early?" Jaune said as he closed his eye prepared to get hit. "good at least you know you need to arrive early." Ren said happily, but still ready to hit his leader with the frying pan. "All right let's continue the lessons."
The next day Jaune woke up with a couple of bruises on his face and what looked like to be a black eye on his right eye. As he got out of bed he looked to his team mate Ren who was still asleep, thinking 'At least I got through the night with only a little injures.' Jaune left his team's room after changing out of pajamas into his hoodie and jeans, he started to head off to get breakfast until he ran into Ruby. "Oh hey Jaune ho…. Are you okay!" Ruby asked caressing her hand onto Jaune's black eye.
"I am okay it was Ren's teaching me etiquette last night that did this to me, don't worry creator face my aura will heal me up in no time and before I forget what time is the movie?" Jaune said as he tried to smile. "The movie starts at 8:30." Ruby said concerned over the knight. "Good we can get something to eat before the movie starts." Jaune said as he left the little reaper to think about him and her going out on her first date and what Yang would do if things didn't go as smoothly for him and her, would he be in the same shape as this or maybe even worse than this, Ruby turned to head back to her room as Jaune turned to head to get breakfast.
As Jaune sat down to eat breakfast in the mess hall he saw a familiar cat and monkey sitting in a corner both laughing at something, which made Jaune think long and hard at Blake's character since he has never seen her laugh even at his dumb jokes or fumbles he constantly has. "Hey guys what so funny?" Jaune asked wondering at. "We are laughing at the bets we put on you and the rest of team RWBY." Sun said "What kind of bets?" Jaune asked "Who will you pick, since you were screaming your head off for Pyrrha." Sun said in a mischievous smile on his face. "So who did you guys bet on?" Jaune asked them.
Later that day, as Weiss waited at Winters air ship, Jaune came rushing to her with his tux and hair slicked back, looking the most formal he has ever been in his entire life. "Jaune is that you?" Weiss said as she "Yeah it's me, and Weiss and I have to say to you, I don't know how you did it, but you look more beautiful than I've ever seen" Jaune said in amazement. "Well I didn't do much, I got a new dress since this is my Sister's birthday." Weiss said blushing. "We have to get going if we are going to make it to the party on time." Jaune said as he started to make his way onto the ship. "Okay let's get this over with." Weiss said as she got onto the ship. "What's wrong Weiss?" Jaune asked "Every year my Sister always has a date and always commutes on how I couldn't bring one even if I tried and it feel like I paid you to go on this date." Weiss said as she stood there looking at the ground ashamed at herself, thinking she wasn't good for anyone. Jaune walked over to Weiss and gave her a hug pulling her into the deepest hug he's ever given to anyone. As he pulled back Weiss looked up to Jaune as he said "Let's prove your sister wrong."
