Hey guys, sorry for the delay but I have work problems I needed to deal with and had literally no time to write anything. Luckily I have this filler chapter whenever situations like these happen, so I hope this chapter can entertain you guys for a little while before I upload chapter 11; the Date, of My Beloved Musician. Just a warning, this Chapter is kind of Angsty but it isn't that bad to make your heart shatter into a million pieces. So I'm sorry that I couldn't get chapter 11 up but it will be up soon. Ok enough talking.

Enjoy!

9 years later...

It looks likes a great day in the city of Vale, warm sunshine and lots of kids playing around the parks. Especially for the Faunus, ever since Blake has become the next leader of the White Fang and Weiss became the next company owner of the Schnee dust company. They have recently come to good terms. And now the Schnee Dust Company is accepting Faunus to their workload, and surprisingly it has worked very well for the two leaders. Long story short, Faunus are now being less discriminated due to good convincing from Weiss and Blake.

Ruby and Yang are now the top 2 hunters in Vale, they have worked very well to get where they are and now they've claimed it. Ruby being the small and adorable little girl we all know and love, has now become a Grimm killing machine of epic proportions. Her world record of killing Grimm would be 200 Beowolves, 30 Death-stalkers, 50 Nevermore's and a rare but dangerous Grimm called the Tyrannosaurus.

She has been named as 'The rose of hope' by the people. Yang is also the same as her sister, killing Grimm like crazy, but unfortunately she isn't as strong as her 24 year old sister. Even in Physicality and Mentality, but she's happy for her sister anyway.

Ren and Nora have become a pair, and now they're 'Together-Together'. They got married 3 years after they graduated from Beacon, and now they have two children. One boy named Joseph Valkyrie and Daniel Valkyrie, they both decided to use Nora's last name for their kids. Ren now works as a full fledged chef at the best restaurant in Vale and Nora is also a hunter, although she isn't up there with Ruby and Yang, But they still go to missions together. Now that leaves Jaune and Pyrrha, the Blonde and the Redhead.

In a Beautiful house with a lush green garden and a quiet and peaceful neighborhood is Jaune's place. Although even if the outside looks pretty, that doesn't mean the inside looks great. Jaune was sitting on his couch watching TV and wasting his life drinking alcohol and getting drunk, his behaviour for all this would be because his love of his life, Pyrrha. Broke it up with him, saying that this relationship won't work. Jaune's heart shattered to millions of pieces when he heard that, so he started drowning his sorrows in drink.

It's been a month since the break up and Jaune's full body Muscular frame has now reduced, his Muscles can still be seen but they weren't as they were before. Jaune is also a hunter but he isn't putting his 100% effort into it like Yang, Ruby and Nora. He hasn't left anywhere and he certainly hasn't been practicing guitar or piano for a while now, Although his singing voice is still up there. On his left is a picture of Him and Pyrrha enjoying a day out in the sun, and on his right is a group photo of all his friends.

"What am I gonna do?" he sobbed.

'C'mon Jaune get over it! There's no point bottling it all up with a cup of Vodka, snap out of it' his conscience said.

"I-I can't, What can I do?" he said to himself.

'How about you just let it out...'

"Let it out? how am I supposed to do that?"

'I don't know, what do you usually do to let it out' asked his conscience.

"I talk to Pyrrha about it, she always cheers me up' he said.

'No! Forget Pyrrha-'

"I can't just forget her"

'Yes you can'

"No I can't"

'Yes you can!' said his conscience sternly.

"No I can't!" he said sternly.

'YES YOU CAN!' yelled his conscience 'What's the next thing that makes you let it out, or even makes you happy?'

"It's either Pyrrha or... My instruments" Jaune said.

'Exactly, might as well just let it out through song you know? Instead of crying like a baby' Jaune nodded in understanding and made his way to the room that contained his Piano.

Meanwhile somewhere else in Vale...

"Come on honey, let's go"

"Coming!" said Pyrrha. At age 26 Pyrrha still looked beautiful as ever, her long ponytail changed into free flowing hair that went over her right shoulder. She wore a beautiful red dress full of intricate flower designs and patterns, and her figure still stayed the same after all those years.

"Wow Pyrrha... You look Beautiful!" Exclaimed her partner.

"Thanks! you don't look too bad yourself" she said. While he just chuckled.

"Shall we?" he asked, while holding his hand out to her. She gladly accepted it and walked with him to the car.

The Schnee dust company is holding a ball for the ones invited. But it's more of a celebration for the end of discrimination rather than a get-together party, and the Heiress herself invited her old school friends to this party. She was rather excited and happy for this event, she also wasn't worried about any attacks taking place because the White Fang has now become a peaceful group and don't intend to do anything unless said otherwise by Blake herself.

Yang, Blake and Ruby arrived with the same car, with Cardin being the driver and butler for the White Fang leader.

"Here's your pay Cardin, pick us up at 12" said Blake.

"You got it boss!" said Cardin then he drove away. Ren and Nora arrived soon after with Ren wearing a green suit and Nora wearing a blue and pink frilly dress that goes up to her knees, and her hair tied up into a bun. The three girls spotted the couple and they excitedly waved at them. Ren waved back but Nora being Nora went for a big bear hug to Yang and Ruby, while Blake and Ren had a complex handshake that confused Nora, Yang and Ruby.

"What? haven't seen a handshake before?" asked Ren playfully.

"I have, but nothing complex as that" said Yang. Blake and Ren just lightly laughed at the three.

"Well we better get going, we don't want Weiss to be waiting for-"

"There you are! I was wondering where you guys were" said Weiss, who just appeared behind the group.

"There's our little heiress!" said Yang as she went for a death hug on Weiss.

"Yang... Oxygen..." struggled Weiss. Yang reluctantly let go and gave her a sheepish smile while Weiss glared at her. She then turned to Blake and gave her soft hug. Blake surprisingly, hugged back Weiss.

"How are you Blake? and how's the White Fang doing?" asked Weiss with a smile.

"The White Fang has been good, we have a few bad apples in our organization. Saying that they want to 'Kill all Humans' or something" said Blake.

"Well I hope you deal with those rascals as soon as possible. If you ever need help, you know who to look for" smiled Weiss. Blake smiled a thankful smile at her, glad that they are good friends.

"Of course" she replied.

"Is that it, Is that all your gonna say? no squealing or excited jumping around or anything?" answered Yang.

"So what? we like to keep things simple" replied the heiress, and she then walked back inside the building.

"She's right you know" was what Blake said to her former partner.

"It's always business with you guys..." muttered Yang. They were about to join Weiss in the ballroom until a car pulled up and out stepped two figures. One with a long red dress and the other with a suit and tie.

"Well look at you two, all fancy and everything" said Ruby.

"Thanks!" they both said in unison.

"Now we just have to wait for Jauney!" said Nora.

"Nora... I don't think he's coming" answered Ren sadly.

"Why not, he's our friend too"

"Yes but..." he gestured to Pyrrha, who seemed uncomfortable by the conversation. But she also felt a bit sad and guilty, worried about what he's life must've been like now without her around.

"Oh... ok, Well let's get inside then. It's pretty chilly out here" shuddered Nora. They all complied and headed to the Ballroom entrance. Pyrrha's partner glanced over to Pyrrha and found that she has been quiet and a bit depressed. He knew about the relationship between Jaune and her, and how she always had a spot for him in her heart, and still does have a spot for him. He was glad that he is her boyfriend, but he totally understood the feeling of leaving someone you once cared and loved deeply. So he didn't put it against her for it, instead, he let her let it go. Saying that keeping it bottled up won't do anything and she needed someone to talk to her about it. So it was his job to cheer her up.

"Hey Pyrrha, are you ok?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine..." she said sadly.

"You don't look too fine... is something wrong?" he asked again.

"I'm fine, it's just... a month ago-"

"I know Pyrrha..."

"I f-feel very... guilty, that I left him" she said depressingly.

"Pyrrha... I won't pretend how you feel, I've left and lost people I cared about too. So I would know the feeling of sadness, rejection, sorrow, isolation... guilt" he said and Pyrrha had a small tear running down her face.

"But hey, we can't let them get to us. We just need to move on y'know" he said while wiping a tear from her cheek, he then went for a comforting hug and Pyrrha melted to his warmth. "Everything's gonna be ok, I understand how you loved him very much. And I'm sure you still do... But I won't hold it against you" he said. Pyrrha's tears were now falling freely onto his newly bought suit, but he didn't care. His first priority is Pyrrha and always will be.

The rest of the group was watching with sorrowful eyes and sadness, which was pretty common when they heard that Pyrrha and Jaune broke up about a month ago. They thought they were the golden couple, the couple who will do anything for each other. Even love each other till they get old. But some things don't turn out what they were supposed to be and eventually. Flicker and die. Ren gestured everyone to keep moving on and give them some time and space, they all agreed and went inside the ballroom while the two just hung back.

"C'mon, let's get inside. They're probably waiting for us right now" he said. Pyrrha nodded and followed him inside the ballroom...

Meanwhile at Jaune's house...

"Dammit! I haven't been practicing at all!" screamed Jaune, banging his hands on the keyboard.

'You don't say genius, you've been drunk for 30 days straight and you barely get your ass up, this is why Pyrrha left'!

"Shut up and don't say her name!" yelled an infuriated Jaune.

'Look, she's gone, get over it. It won't heal if you keep touching it. Emotional wounds don't get healed by using Aura, they're only healed if you let it go'

"Then how am I supposed to let it go?!"

'Put your emotion into it, let your fingers do the work instead of your head. you'll find it to be much easier' said his conscience. Jaune exhaled heavily and put his hands back on the keyboard, he did as he was told and let his emotions run free. Sadness, Sympathy, Anger... Guilt, was all put in into his fingers. He closed his eyes and let his body take control.

Back at the Schnee estate ballroom...

"May I offer this fine girl for a dance?" he asked. Pyrrha smiled and offered her hand.

"Why of course young man, I'm quite the dancer myself" she said in a formal tone. He smiled and gently took her hand to the centre of the ball room. People started gathering around the young couple, everyone watched at them with glee as they both twirled and spun with grace and ease.

'You did it Jaune! I knew it would work, now try that again but with more emotion. Put EVERYTHING in it' And Jaune just nodded.

Bruno Mars - When I was your man.

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down

'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should've bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should've gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

'Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancing

But she's dancing with another man.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should've bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should've gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

'Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancing

But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts

I'll be the first to say that I was wrong

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late

To try and apologize for my mistakes

But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers

I hope he holds your hand

Give you all his hours

When he has the chance

Take you to every party

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

And finally silence... Jaune felt happy and giddy inside, with sense of accomplishment running through his veins. But a single tear ran down his cheek from the memories of them together, and how they had so much fun. But he simply didn't do enough to make her stay, he simply didn't do enough to satisfy her and simply didn't do enough to comfort her. But she will always have a place in his heart, as Pyrrha will always have a spot for him in her heart.

"I wish I did enough... I wish I was there with her, saying sorry for all the wrong I did... but nevermind that now, she's with someone a lot better now. Oh and Sun...

Pyrrha and her partner finished their dance and everyone was cheering and whistling at them, they're dance was flawless and really good. He looked at her and she looked at him. When they both noticed they were an inch from each other, they kissed. The kiss felt very passionate and heartwarming. It felt like love was the thing that bonded them together and kept them like that for eternity, nothing could ever break this now. They broke apart and looked at each others eyes.

"I love you Sun"

"I love you Pyrrha"

...Take care of her for me
