A/N: Hiiiii. I'm back from Anime Weekend Atlanta. So in short, everyone says I'm an adorable Adam Taurus, RWBY shoot was fuuuun, and I met the most awesomest Pyrrha OMFG SHE WAS SO NICE-anyway, this takes place during the night of the last episode of Volume 1 since the official last time we saw team JNPR was the end of Forever Fall. These original ideas that happen while team JNPR is off-screen might come and go so don't expect to see the last of them just yet. But yes I am also working on other volumes episode ideas.


'You know, this can't be a documentary if I don't physically talk.'

Ren sighed to himself. In front with his hands he held a new video camera he just recived from back home to let them know how he was doing. Fortunately his family knew of his sarcastic nature and actually talked more around them so anything he sent them, wouldn't be too shocking.

The red dot in the corner of the screen blinked repeatedly at the young man's face. He would have to speak sometime.

'They need to make thoughts audibly heard because I don't talk much, but this is for family I suppose.'

"Hi family, as you know, I'm here at Beacon: lovely place actually once you get past some of the stupid people."

'Ah this is harder than I thought. I've grown so used to keeping my thoughts to myself that I can't make snide remarks while talking to myself anymore. Well I'm gonna make this work.'

Trying to put on a small smile for his family, he spoke in a louder tone but only to himself.

"Now, I'm going to take you into the astounding wildlife of Beacon academy and my team where we will 'observe' some of the subjects."

'Oh,? You thought this was going be some feelsy friendship bonding video? You thought wrong. I'm treating my teammates as if they are wild animals in some Animal Planet documentary. Well, maybe not all of the time. This is going to be fun.'


Currently, the recording device in his hands shook violently, swaying back and forth as the cameraman Lie Ren ran for his life.

"I seemed to have stumbled upon a little one while attempting to capture it on film. It's grown attached and now seeks my attention!" He was becoming out of breath, swerving immediately to the right and finding a nearby closet. The camera being flung in any direction still continued to record from a first person view of his erratic actions. Once the door closed the darkness enveloped the screen, only the ragged breathing of Ren was heard.

Finding the switch somewhere on the back of it he turned it on the screen was immediately illuminated with Ren's face trying to take in the night vision for a second.

"As you can see, I have found a suitable...hiding spot for the time being away from the beast." Very loud thumps made their way and only Ren's eyes seemed to move over to the blackened door behind him. Apparent fear in his eyes when it seemed to get louder. He slowly looked back to the camera when it stopped. He knew he was doomed now.

"I would come up with a proper name for this species but I'm too terrified right now to do so." His speech not at all betrayed by his very calm voice he always used. "But it is out for my attention."

"REEENNN!" Suddenly the door behind him flung open letting light flood in blinding the camera for a moment with bright light. The young man on screen looked behind himself.

"Send help immediately, not really you know what I mean but-S.O.S!" Now that the camera had been adjusted, it was dropped from his grasp to land upside down on the floor from the other person in the doorway. The red light still kept blinking while the now girl behind him dragged him out by his collar.

'Nora would ruin my recording now.'

"You promised chocolate chip pancakes covered lateeerrr! And now it's later! So chop chop mister!" Her cheery smile that could be mistaken for craziness was always about. Ren threw his upper body out to claw the floor as an attempt to keep himself where he was.

"Nora that was an hour ago."

"Well you didn't say how much later and an hour seems like later enough so I'm declaring now later!"

'Oum help me.' His fingers dug into the hard wood of the hallway he was being dragged out into the light. He looked longingly back to the camera. He figured he would have to leave it behind for now.

'I hope the battery lasts.'


Strolling down the corridors of Beacon, Ren walked with his camera held chest level in front of, scouting for a possible subject to film. Now that Nora had her fill and was content, she went off to go bother their fearless leader who held his place in the gym for the past hour. But at least he kept it lively and not quiet the entire time, though it would help if he wasn't trying to sound like a documentary specialist. "Beacon Academy, a lively, bustling nest full of wonderous creatures. And every single one of them is unique."

'Unique in that I think everyone is beneath me.' He snickered to himself. At about this time it was late at night when he strolled the halls. The point of view now switching to the camera with the red dot flashing in the middle, it caught up . Maybe he should go bother his leader and the Spartan that so quietly lusted after him.

'Quietly? You could put a Beowolf inbetween them and it would just dissipate into smoke from how heated the sexual tension is.'

Ren was trying to be the good friend, and not so bluntly tell the blonde that to his face without Pyrrha trying to wring his neck. But she would never kill a person right?

Heh heh...

'I..I got nothing. I don't know if she'd actually do it. But considering how smitten she is with leader boy...love can make you do a lot of crazy things.'

The camera jiggled slowly in his grasp as he looked down to the outstretched mini screen to the side so he could monitor progress.

'I'll go visit the gym to observe more subjects.'

"And now for something completely different."


To say this was awkward wasn't...too far off but this was also material he could use for his video to send back home. Nora was right, Jaune was here alright. Along with their female tank of the group.

Nora didn't mention Pyrrha had moved their training regimen to the gym for today. She called it 'super secret info' that from now on on Thursdays they would meet in the gym for her training to build him to a better hunter. Nora bustled with contained excitement from her spot.

Her spot, was when Ren came in and she latched herself to his back like a koala bear-wait...a sloth she would say.

'Nora and sloths, I'll never understand why.' Ren was perfectly fine with the added weight to his back. Nora often stole piggyback rides from him when they were little, or just made him fall on all fours and say 'YYYYEEEEEEHAAAWWW'. He walked slowly around the padded floor of the gym, often used for sparring and throwing people so no one would get hurt.

Ren couldn't stop hitting the zoom button on Pyrrha and Jaune's current location at a bench with weights while Pyrrha spotted him. Both in casual workout gear. Pyrrha stripped down to a red sports bra with black shorts that ended just above her knees. For a woman of the Spartan's caliber, she maintained a defined and trim figure with visible ab muscles. Her hair in a ponytail over her shoulder overlooking Jaune and his progress.

She had given him a weight of 45 lbs to start off with. And gradually she kept adding more to it until he was no benching 85. To make sure he didn't hurt himself she kept a hand right under the bar from where his elbows bent to push back up.

"Is it happening yet Ren?!" Nora tried to silently scream into his ear, her head next to his eyeing his camera.

"Not yet." Well, now was the time to clue his family in on his 2 teammates, with cameraman style.

"This is Pyrrha Nikos, you know Mistralian warrior, all the good stuff, but she's also painfully in love with this guy..." The camera went down to the now struggling blond who panted from near exhaustion. His hair was a sweaty mess from the workout but his coach continued to drill him for more reps. "Jaune Arc, he um...isn't the sharpest to take hints, and he hasn't in our entire first semester here." 'That and he has an awkward crush on Weiss Schnee who won't even give him the time of day to say he doesn't even care about her last name. I'm not supporting this, I just wish Ice Queen would see through that.'

Pyrrha did resemble a lion if she had a long red mane, but she was a powerful lioness. And one that sought out a specific type of prey.

The camera zoomed in more on her face, showing her obvious restraint. The glimmer in her eyes was shown as the screen panned down to the blond boy below her. Jaune was coming along nicely in his training. When Ren had arrived, the knight had already discarded his shirt aside.

'I don't know whose idea it was to give Jaune low riding sweat pants but its making Pyrrha drool like a waterfall.'

He made sure to angle the camera down on his unsuspecting target, grinning maniacally all the while. The blond did acquire a new set of abs for his scraggly form and beefed up juuuust a bit.

'She's shaping him up and molding him the way she wants. I knew red-heads were demanding but this is for the better...if she can keep her hands off of him for another 3 years.' It was then a recent plan struck his thought process.

"Nora, time for Operation: Arkos."

"WOOOO!" She screamed a bit too loud before Ren turned his head to her and shushed her quietly with a finger to his lips.

"Quietly Nora."

"Quietly!"

With that she vaulted off his back, making the lotus warrior almost collapse with camera in hand. She bounded off to the side where she knew Jaune stored his workout bag and dug through it.

'...Don't all of you look at me like that. I'm bored, and need entertaining. And shipping these two passes the time by...my family is the same as me when it comes to humor.'

Pyrrha had to bit her lip when she finally let up on him and he rested the weight back down on the rack. He moved to get up dragging his leg over to his side and leaned back. His lean back showcased his developing muscles, somewhat covered in sweat. His breathing making the already strained muscles to flex even further.

'This. Is. Gold. Think I might make a killing selling this off to Pyrrha? Nah she's a teammate...special discount then.' Immediately panning to Pyrrha whe tried her best to not come over and touch him off handedly. But she settled with a slight walk over to him and patted his shoulder, saying he did good for today.

Ren wasn't blind to see how her hand left his skin so unwillingly.

'Half of my entertainment here stems from these 2.'

The camera now chose to follow back over to Nora who as the kind friend she was came up from behind Jaune and tapped his shoulder. He looked back to see an open water bottle in his face. He graciously accepted and while the hammer wielder bounded away again.

"What he doesn't know is that Nora has sabotaged that bottle by cutting it around the top. So it's about to come off." Talking back into the camera.

Sure enough when Ren popped back over to Pyrrha she herself had dumb bells in her hands and all of her motion had stopped when she looked over to their leader. 'Oh yeah this is hook, line, and sinker.' He waited for the moment when the blond dipped his head back. Ren scrambled backward to get the perfect shot of Pyrrha and Jaune in the same frame.

As Jaune's head leaned back, the precariously topped bottle head came off and the water was dumped onto his face, and down his neck...his chest. He yelped from the surprise of something cold hitting his body, jumping up off the bench to shake his head clear.

"Aww Nora! The bottle you gave me is defective!"

Immediately the camera screen zoomed in on Pyrrha's face. All manner of emotion had left it as she stared. Except for the reddest tinge on her cheeks. Nora from the sidelines giggled from her reaction.

'I think we might have broken her.'

"Whoops! Sorry Jaune~!"

'Yes, great acting Nora, top-notch 5 stars.'

"You alright there Jaune?" Ren tried to asked in his most concerned voice for his leader.

"Yeah I'm just a little wet is all, faulty water bottles." 'Yeah, faulty...let's go with that.'

The screen went to examine every inch of jaune as he turned around, trying to inspect himself and see if any other part of himself was wet.

"Speaking of wet.." 'Bad Ren, you're supposed to be keeping this T rated .' Panning back over to the tall Spartan who now with renewed vigor began pumping her dumbbells at a faster rate. Yeah she was clearly trying to think of something else at the moment.

'Mainly taking Jaune by his waist and throwing him over her shoulder like a cave woman who found her man. A very strong cavewoman. Or in this case Mistralian female warrior. I hear they're known for taking charge.'

'Taking charge of that d-'

"Here ya go Jaune since your last bottle broke, I got you more water!"

'Wait, this wasn't in the plan.'

Off camera, Jaune's voice was heard thanking her for getting some more when Ren veered the screen back onto Jaune. With his back turned, the unsuspecting blond didn't see their hyper hammer wielder practically throw one of the giant water coolers that was used to store water bottles and sports drinks. And all the of the cold water hit Jaune like a truck, letting out a high pitched yell from the freezing water. He was now thoroughly soaked through from head to toe in water and getting the padded gym floor wet.

Ren had to face palm behind the camera at Nora's added in part of the plan. Ren wanted this to be simple, but Nora liked taking the damage level to max in these types of things.

'My fault, should have been watching her and not trying to think of ways to edit this video for Pyrrha's demise. Speaking of which...I wonder what is going through her mind right now?'


'GODDAMMIT!'


'I'm sorry Pyrrha...and yet I am not.'

"N-N-N-Nora!? How was this supposed to help?!" The blond shivered holding himself from shivering from his muscles tensing. Being desperate, he sought out the towel on his nearby bench to dry himself off, stretching his body out so that is natural body heat would return.

'Wait...this is better.'

"Well you wanted more water since your last one broke. So I figured you must be really thirsty-"

'...Ha, I get it.'

"And what better way to quench your thirst-"

'Ha, I need to stop laughing at the word thirst.'

"AND cool you off at the same time with the cooler I just dunked on you!" She replied happily, having sat the now empty container down and used it as her stool. Just off screen the sound of metal bending, a squeaking sound reached everyone's ears. Ren shot the camera back over the Pyrrha who-

"Oh geez." He uttered.

In her hands the dumbbells she was working out with were now bent at very odd angles within her grasp. To say Pyrrha's semblance seeped out just a tiny bit was an understatement, causing the metal to hand very low and no longer in a horizontal shape. An even more flushed Pyrrha looked away from Jaune, hurriedly bending down to set aside the now useless training equipment. Jaune being the caring guy he was for his teammates, hurried over to her to look over her hands, checking to see if the metal ad hurt her any.

"The male lion, now fearful of his partners' well being rushed over to make sure if she's alright. Concern and worry while his own paws graze over hers for injuries."

'Back to animal commentary.' The lens focusing in on various spots of the scene before him. "You can plainly see the affectionate gaze the lioness gives in shy glances to the male, hoping that when next mating season time comes around, it would be her chance to strike, and he finally claim her as his."

The warrior raised his brow in confusion, taking the camera away from himself for a sec to just stare blankly.

"Wow, I need to tone it down a notch.' Going back to the 2 predators, after Pyrrha staving Jaune off about her hands, he told her something and waved back, heading off for the showers. Ren took this time to sidle up beside Pyrrha with the camera shaking. Now facing Jaune's leaving form, Ren decided to mess with the camera for a minute, knowing Pyrrha was overlooking his shoulder. He reached to the side rewind button and played back continuously the moment the water started to roll off of his leaders' body. The rewind sound the obvious noise playing every time he turned it.

"Ren?"

"Yes Pyrrha?"

"Please stop."

"Ok." She may have said stop, but he still wasn't entirely done. Going back to recording, he zoomed in all the way to the blond's rear.

"The male lion, so majestic and graceful, watching him leave the presence of an aroused female is one that takes skill, poise, and restraint." He looked over to his teammate and saw her focused eyes. The camera lens trailed the source back to his leaders' rear. "Wouldn't you think so Pyrrha?" He knew he wouldn't get a response, she was too into it at the moment, a longing stare when the camera was trained in on her face.

He finally snapped his fingers once in front of her face. "Pyrrha!"

"Huh wha...I mean something about...French fries."

Ren couldn't help the snicker in his throat, returning to his casual demeanor. "You were ogling him like a horny school girl-which you are." She seemed to fake appreciate the psycho-analysis he gave of her, sighing to herself.

"Don't worry Pyrrha, we'll get him someday." Offering his hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"Speaking of getting someone."

'Aw tofu.' He should have known this was coming. He did have this coming for a while since he pegged that she was after Jaune's heart. Because this wasn't the first time Nora and Ren tried to enact Operation: Arkos.

"I guess...that means I should start running, right?"

"I'll give you a 5 second head start." Crossing her arms rightfully. Just waiting for the right moment. The silence between them thickened.

"Yeah, I'll be going now."

"Bye Ren!" Nora without a care waved back to her partner in crime, without any blame.


The camera shaking viciously in his hands as he ran down the hallway. Yeah leading Pyrrha Nikos on was probably not a good idea.

"Dear Mom, Dad, everyone, I may not make it through this ordeal. A wild lioness has sniffed me out and is out for my blood-ahh!" He happened to turn the camera around him at the wrong time for the angle to show the blood-fueled Spartan hot on his tale and gaining fast.

"There's no way I can outrun her and while we've passed other very vulnerable targets *cough* Cardin *cough* she's dead set on me!" The scared man audibly yelled in front of the screen from narrowly escaping the lioness' grip by a hair just then.

"Oh dust I don't want to die yet!" With a final leap, tired of their chase, the Beacon student tackled the smaller man from behind. Making his camera slip from his hands and land sideways facing them. Satisfied with her catch, she grabbed a leg of his and drug him backwards. Ren knowing this was the end for him, began his final input.

"It appears I have been captured and am now being taken back to killed, then eaten." His nails did no good trying to keep from being inevitably pulled back. "Well, it's been fun this past semester with my team. As you can see we're bonding just fine. I can't say what limbs will be missing by the time she's done with me and I send you another video update, but I hope its the one that counts."

They were approaching the corner bend and soon he would disappear from sight.

"Well that's all for now, stay tuned and next time I might have a mating ritual set up-ahhh!" Pyrrha dragged him just a little bit faster and they were out of sight.


A/N: Yeah, not my best chapter, but I couldn't resist the thought of Ren having a camera and documenting their daily lives inside the JNPR room.

Also...I want to hug team CFVY, they need to be in their room in a giant cuddle pile sleeping their tired little heads.

As always Read & Review, Sarcastic Ren watches you, good day everyone.

Raiken~
