Hey guys I'm back with another chapter of Our Beloved Musician :D So i've been reading comments about the last chapter I did which was a filler chapter and... Let's just say it wasn't the most favoured chapter xD But I completely understood why. So in order to pay you back, this chapter is extra long for you guys. And I might upload the 2nd part for you all in two days or so instead of a whole week. So I hope this chapter would repay for my earlier sin of uploading that last chapter lol.
Anyways!
Enjoy!
Saturday morning. Jaune's favourite morning and day, and also the day of the date. He felt nervous for tonight, simply because he has never been on a date before, despite all the flirting and cheesy lines he does to other women.
When Jaune arrived back to his dorm room he found a broken door and Ruby happily munching on chocolate chip cookies. He gave his teammates a 'What happened here' look.
"Don't ask, ju... Just don't ask..." replied Ren.
"She stole my cookies!" exclaimed Nora. Ruby hugged the carton full of cookies protectively and continued eating.
"Well... who's gonna fix the door?"
"I've already called someone who would replace the door for us, they should be coming in a few seco-" said Pyrrha, but was cut off by a man holding a white door with blue overalls and a cap with the company logo on it.
"Hey guys room maintenanc- What the hell happened here?!" replied the Maintenance man.
"Please... don't ask"
"It involves a girl in a red hood and a cookie stash" said Jaune.
"Yikes! Someone with a small figure couldn't have broken down a whole door" he said gesturing to Ruby. Ruby ignored him and finished half the cookies.
"It's a school full of Hunters and Huntresses, what do you expect?" said Pyrrha.
"Well you guys are goddamn scary" he said "I can replace the door for you immediately but the cost won't be pretty"
"How much will it cost?"
"75 lien"
"Wait! but you said that replaceable doors only cost 25 lien" said Ren, infuriated by the guy ripping him off.
"But this door is not replaceable, it's been shattered into a million pieces, not to mention that the hinges have also been destroyed"
"But you can still fix it right?" asked Jaune.
"Yeah of course"
"Ok that's all we need, I'll pay for everything..."
"You'll pay for half of it and I'll pay the other half" said someone standing behind Jaune. He looked back and saw Team WBY with amused expressions on their face. Weiss volunteered to help pay off half for Ruby's clumsiness.
"Oh, thanks Weiss"
"Anytime Jaune" she said smiling. The maintenance man got to work and collected all the pieces from the floor and threw them in a plastic bag. he removed the broken hinges and replaced them with new golden ones. He grabbed the new white door and positioned it properly to fit the frame, and once he was happy about the easy fit he then grabbed two screws and two nuts to connect the door and hinges together. And when he was done with that he opened and closed the door to test it out. The maintenance man approved of his handy work and turned to face Jaune.
"Alrighty I'm done" he said and Jaune nodded, so he handed half the money while Weiss gives the other half. Once he got everything in the bag he left without a word.
"C'mon Ruby, time to go to sleep" said Yang.
"But I don't wanna!" Whined Ruby.
"It's almost curfew, c'mon you can eat those cookies tomorrow"
"Ok sis, Thanks for the cookies Jaune!" said Ruby while walking to her room.
"Goodnight Jaune"
"See you tomorrow Jaune"
"Goodnight handsome" winked Yang, which made him turn a deep red.
RWBY returned to their dorms with a carton full of cookies. The obviously infuriated Nora didn't even get to have one cookie until Ruby decided to steal all of it, but what made it more infuriating was that they didn't thank her for giving the cookies to Ruby. Instead, they thanked the Musician. Well at least Ren can cook her up some pancakes with golden brown syrup.
"Time to take a nap, goodnight guys" replied Jaune.
"Night Jaune"
"Goodnight Jaune"
"Mmm~ Pancakes"
Jaune woke up at 6:30 which was way earlier than his usual Saturday sleeping in time. Confused as to why he woke up so early, he shrugged it off and collected his casual clothes then made his way to the bathroom.
After he took a shower with his mysterious lack of shampoo, he changed to his blue shirt, hood and pants.
He got out of the bathroom and made his way to his bed where he collected his wallet and scroll. He glanced around the room and found that his friends are still sleeping, so he sneakily made his way to the door but heard a cough from behind him. He turned around and found Pyrrha looking at him with innocent eyes and a smile.
"Good morning Jaune, may I ask where you are going?" she asked, Jaune smiled at her usual happy mood and told her the truth.
"I'm just gonna head down to Vale, but I won't be too long" he said.
"Oh? what are you gonna do at Vale?" she asked again with those innocent green eyes. Jaune sweat dropped and instead told a lie.
'What she doesn't know can't hurt her right?' he thought.
"I-Im just gonna look around and stuff, but I'll be back as soon as possible" he said, and so he left without giving Pyrrha a chance to speak. Pyrrha sighed and flopped back down on her bed.
'He's hiding something' she thought.
Jaune walked through the hallways in a hurried pace, trying to get out of there like an escaped convict.
'I'm glad she didn't find out, or else I would've been screwed' he thought. His main reason to go to Vale was to buy flowers for Natasha once he arrives at her door.
He walked down to the airship docks and waited for the next airship to arrive. He missed his flight because a certain Professor with spectacles, gray hair and green and black attire stopped in front of him and started a conversation. Just a casual morning talk which then turned into a conversation about musical instruments and teachers.
"-you know instruments are an amazing talent for everyone to learn, don't you think Mr Arc?"
"O-Of course sir..." Jaune said. He wasn't really paying any attention to the Headmaster. He just wanted to get on the airship which landed right NOW... But that proved difficult as Professor Ozpin kept rambling about something.
"-Instruments are a treasure, so it's in an artist's best interest to take care of them properly" said the professor.
"Yes sir..." he looked over Ozpin's shoulder and saw the students boarding in to go to Vale.
"-To be honest we're currently running low in staff, and we need new subjects for students to learn-"
"uh-huh..." everyone has now boarded the airship.
"-What subjects should students learn, health, art... MUSIC maybe?" emphasis on the word 'Music.'
"That's nice sir..." the doors on the airship has now closed.
"-Not maths, Mr Patillo left because of the lack of students-"
"Um... Professor" The airship has now started it's engines.
"-Maybe we need more materials-"
"S-sir" the airship has started flapping it's wings.
"-What about more coffee-"
"S-sir... the..."
"-Yes, Coffee will do-"
"...Airship" mumbled Jaune. The plane has now taken off and left to go to Vale.
"Oh sorry Mr Arc, what did you say?" The professor stopped his rambling and focused on Jaune.
"B-but... Airship" he said.
"Airship? I'm not sure what you mean Jaune" he said with a smirk on his face. Jaune had a look of disappointment and annoyance. Ozpin looked behind him and found an empty dock with no students.
"Mr Arc the airship hasn't arrived yet, I'm afraid you're a bit too early. Come back when the time is right" smiled Ozpin. Jaune looked dumbfounded and surprise at professor Ozpin, he never thought out of all people he would be the one to be so ignorant in his surroundings when the airship landed RIGHT BEHIND HIM.
"I'll just... wait another 20 minutes for the airship..." he said depressingly.
"Yes Mr Arc, the earlier the better... Am I right?" said the professor.
"Yeah sure..."
So Jaune waited for the next airship to arrive (much to his dismay). But before he could groan in annoyance and mutter how stupid the Headmaster is, someone had a big smile on their face and decided to approach the Blonde knight unsuspectedly. So she walked silently behind him, trying to make no noise despite her wearing black heels. After a few quiet steps she is basically right behind him, so she brought her index finger and poked him on the side which gave out a small yelp by Jaune.
"GAH! who was that?" he turned around and found a beautiful looking girl with flowing dark red hair going down her left shoulder, hazel eyes, wearing a plain white shirt with an orange leather jacket and blue skin tight Jeans, and also black heels. She's the same height as Jaune but without the heels she would be two inches shorter.
"Hi Jaune" said Chloe.
"Oh umm... H-Hi" stuttered Jaune, Chloe giggled at his shy demeanor.
"I-I'm not sure what you're name is?" he asked.
"My name's Chloe, I'm Natasha's partner" she said.
"Nice to meet you Chloe, I'm Jau-"
"I know, you're Jaune Arc, she keeps talking about you by the way" Chloe said with a wink, Jaune stood there awkwardly and blushing like crazy.
"So what brings you to the airship docks?" she asked curiously.
"Oh n-nothing really, just admiring the view" he said, but unfortunately for him he is a pretty bad liar.
"I don't believe you... You've got an airship ticket lazily hanging by your back pocket and a wallet with 50 lien in it"
"W-Well the ticket could've been here since yesterday, and how do you know about my money?" he asked curiously with narrowed eyes.
"I can see through obstacles that no ordinary eye can see, like looking through walls and looking from far away distances" she said. Jaune looked confused, is she a robot or a Faunus, but before he asked Chloe interrupted him.
"It's my Semblance" Surprisingly Jaune understood. "So what's your semblance?" she asked.
"Oh I'm not too sure, I think it was healing or something..."
"Jaune Everyone can heal with Aura, it's your Semblance I was talking about"
"Then I'm not really sure..." said a depressed Jaune.
"Well I hope you'll find out eventually, c'mon the Airship is almost here" she said gesturing to the flying plane approaching them.
Once the Airship landed they instantly boarded the plane and Chloe found a place where they could talk near the window, but what she didn't notice is Jaune staying away from the window and clutching his stomach like he's been stabbed. When she noticed he was in pain, she felt worried and so approached him to try comfort him.
"Jaune are you alright?" she asked worriedly, rubbing her hand up and down his spine.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine" he said stubbornly.
"You don't look fine, are you always sick when it comes to flying?"
"N-no, I just feel sick today" Chloe didn't look convinced at all.
"Don't lie Jaune"
"Then yeah... I always feel sick when it comes to flying" Jaune said. Chloe looked concerned and unexpectedly went into mother mode.
"Wait here I'll get you a bag, don't move anywhere do you understand me?" she said in a stern a motherly way.
"Y-yes..."
"Good, just try not to vomit all over the floor, the captain won't be pleased" chuckled Chloe. Jaune rolled his eyes and continued holding his stomach in pain.
Chloe came back 2 minutes after with two plastic bags and a towel. Jaune gave her the best thanks he could and immediately vomited into one of the bags. Chloe smiled at Jaune, wondering how a well said famous Musician had a messy reaction to flying. But sometimes things come from the people you least expect. She also wondered how the resident goofball of Beacon academy became a target for all girls everywhere, even Chloe has a slight crush for the Blonde knight but she's just trying to play it cool right now.
"Thanks Chloe"
"Anytime Jaune"
They arrived at Vale's airship docks 15 minutes later. Although they didn't want to go their separate ways, they decided to go one place and then go to the next after. Starting with Chloe wanting to go to the clothes and shoe shop which was not too far from the docks luckily. So they walked in a slow pace because they simply were curious of one another. Talking about usual family, life, hobbies and Ex's. Jaune was shocked when she said she had dated around four guys... in one year, overall she felt embarrassed for having to tell him. They finally arrived at the clothes and shoe shop, it was an ordinary corner store but Chloe insisted that they sell the best clothing there. The knight just didn't bother arguing and followed her inside.
"Hi welcome to beauties are us, may I help you with anything?" greeted the shop owner.
"Hi we're just here to check out the clothing, speaking of clothing do you have any brand new ones?" asked Chloe.
"Yep, what type of clothing are you looking for?"
"Dresses, ankle high boots, y'know that sort of stuff" said Chloe, the shop owner nodded and leaded them to an area where all the new brand new girls clothes were hung.
"And what about your boyfriend, does he need anything he would like to check out?" said the owner. Jaune and Chloe sputtered and turned to the owner with wide eyes, their faces turning hot and their cheeks started to glow a bright pink colour.
"What?! no no no, He's not, I mean- we're not- I'm not-" they both stammered, the clerk owner just realized what she said and covered her mouth.
"I-I'm so sorry i didn't mean to-"
"It's fine, it's just that we're not a couple or anything" replied Chloe.
"Ok, but I'm very sorry about you sir"
"Why are you sorry about me?" asked Jaune curiously.
"The friendzone can be very hard, but it's ok, It'll come and go as time passes" said the clerk and she left to go to the back of the store. The clerk left Chloe with a shocked and wide eyed blonde. Although those words from her felt comforting, it wasn't very comforting for Jaune. The redhead glanced at Jaune's wide eyed face and giggled hysterically at him, Jaune recovered from his shock and sent an annoyed glare at her.
"That wasn't funny" said the swordsman, but Chloe still giggled while holding her sides for support.
"I thought it was, imagine you in the friendzone, that would be hilarious" Chloe responded. Jaune let out an angry huff and crossed his arms like a little kid.
'He's so adorable' thought Chloe.
"I'm gonna go pay for these clothes and then we'll go" she said gesturing to a lavender coloured dress and light purple boot's.
"Nice choice of clothes, I like it" said Jaune.
"it's not for me, it's for Natasha" Chloe answered with a small smirk plastered on her face.
"O-Oh, what for?"
"For tonight silly! you're taking her out remember" she said with a huge smile while Jaune's face felt flustered and tried to hide it from her.
"Yeah I remember"
Chloe approached the counter and dropped 20 lien carelessly on the counter (Since the clerk was at the back of the store). She walked out with Jaune following closely behind her, and since Chloe finished with her shopping it was Jaune's turn to go shopping. So she followed him to a place called the Beauty of nature. It wasn't too far, just a few turns and they were right there.
"A flower shop?" she said confused.
"Y-Yeah, I'm gonna buy flowers... for Natasha"
"Aww Jaune you're such a romantic!" she squealed. Jaune rolled his eyes and walked into the shop. The shop wasn't all that big, but it had an amazing range of different flowers and accessories like flower pots, soil and seeds.
"Remember, she likes-"
"Yeah I know, purple flowers"
"No Jaune, she likes blue ones" exclaimed Chloe.
"Wha- no purple?"
"Nope"
"Hello you two, what can I get for you?" asked the clerk owner.
"Hi, can I get two blue flowers please" said Jaune.
"Certainly, that'll be 4 lien please" replied the owner, Jaune nodded and took out 4 lien from his wallet and handed it to the clerk.
"And how about you're young mistress here, would she like anything?" asked the shop owner. Jaune looked shocked that he would even call her his mistress, but Chloe was more shocked than him as her face was wide eyed and red faced with her mouth hung agape.
"Mi-Mistress?!" said a blushing redhead.
"Uhh she's not my... Mistress, just a friend" he said trying to play it cool. The shop owner realized what he said and face palmed.
"Oh I'm very sorry, my bad you two I didn't mean to say that" apologized the owner. Jaune waved it off saying it was nothing but Chloe looked annoyed with her cheeks feeling red. The owner handed him the two blue flowers and Jaune and Chloe left without a word. They finished their shopping for the day and walked back to the Airship, but the walk back was awkward and tense. The recent exclamations of them being a couple was what turned it awkward, especially the most recent one from the flower shop owner.
'Mistress! who says that?' thought Chloe angrily.
'Why mistress? that just made things awkward' thought Jaune.
When they were walking to the docks Jaune stopped unexpectedly and glanced at the name of the building he just stopped in front of. Chloe noticed the sudden lack of walking and turned to find Jaune looking up at the building's name.
"The night time owl, Is this the location of the date?" asked Chloe.
"Yeah, I hope it's not too bad"
"What do you mean? she'll like it, I mean, look at this place! it's super fancy" Replied Chloe. Jaune smiled at her supportive comment.
"Well I guess it will do" he said, Chloe put a reassuring hand on his shoulder and smiled at him.
"She'll like it, trust me"
"I'll take your word for that"
They arrived at the Airship station in no time, having to walk around everywhere sure eliminated all their energy and made their feet sore. But luckily, the airship touched down as soon as they made it to the station. They hopped on and Chloe, learning from what happened before, grabbed a plastic bag and quickly gave it to Jaune. Jaune said his Thank you's to her before moving to a spot away from the window. Chloe stood by his side watching him vomit and making sure he doesn't spill any content's on his shirt or floor.
They finally arrived at Beacon academy in less than 15 minutes and exited the Airship doors, then they made their way to their respective dorm rooms. Chloe, being Natasha's best friend, decided to give him some tips for tonight. Jaune being the humble and respective person he is, decided to stay quiet and listen, because whenever he interrupts she always shushes him. So he thought it would be a good idea to note them all down, luckily they arrived at Team CMRN's dorm (Cameron) before Chloe could give him any more notes.
"Thanks for today Jaune, I had fun shopping and talking... Despite the exclaims made by the shop owners" replied Chloe grumpily. Jaune lightly chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"Well I'll see you around" she said.
"See ya Chloe" and with that she opened the door and headed straight in. Once the door was closed he started walking to his dorm room, thinking about his date in his head and what he should do after their date. But he's got that all planned when he contacted the place on thursday.
When he opened his dorm door he found that none of his teammates were in here, so he quickly hid his two newly bought flowers under his bed so no one would see it. Pleased and tired from this morning, he jumped on his bed and took a lie down. 'Lucky they weren't here, imagine what they will say... or even what Pyrrha will do' Jaune shuddered at the thought. Suddenly Jaune heard a beep from his scroll, he opened it up and found it was Natasha who messaged him.
Hi! - Natasha' was what it said. He instantly started typing on his scroll.
Hey - Jaune
'How are you :) - Natasha.
I'm good, what about you? - Jaune.
I'm great! - Natasha. Jaune formed a small smirk on his lips.
Even when you're messaging me I can still tell your quite excited - Jaune.
Well... To be honest I am quite excited for tonight! :D - Natasha.
Hehehe I'm glad, I just hope it's good enough for you... - Jaune.
Hey C'mon, head up, remember when I said I wasn't picky, I actually meant it :) - Natasha.
You did? - Jaune.
Mmhmm! by the way Chloe told me you two went shopping together, and she also said you bought something for me :D - Natasha.
Well I can't tell you can I, it's a surprise :) - Jaune.
Aww :( - Natasha.
The surprise isn't really big, it's just something simple really... - Jaune.
I'm not picky, remember? - Natasha.
I guess so - Jaune. Jaune heard the door open and he knew it was his teammates, so he sent a quick bye and closed his scroll. When Ren, Nora and Pyrrha walked in they found Jaune lying back on his bed while staring up at the ceiling.
"Hey guys, where did you go?" asked Jaune.
"We just had some sparring done, nothing really special" said the redhead.
"It was good, despite all the bruises Nora gave us" said Ren. Nora crossed her arms and scowled at Ren.
"Well that's what you guys get when you g on Nora Valkyrie!" replied Nora proudly. "Anyways I found our sparring session very fun"
"Nora, it's not fun if you're swinging your hammer downwards to the floor, you just destroyed half the arena" Ren said. Nora crossed her arms like a kid and sat on her bed.
"Hey Jaune, how was shopping?" asked Pyrrha. If Jaune could choke on saliva, he would be dead right now because out of all the questions he'd expect, it had to be the shopping one.
"I-It was good..." hesitated Jaune. Pyrrha had a look of suspicion etched upon her face and it was in her best interest to find out what it was.
"Oh, that's good! so what did you buy?" asked the shield maiden. Jaune sweat dropped profusely and tried his best not to show it.
"Umm... Something nice"
"Like?"
"Like- Food!" he exclaimed.
"Ooh Food! I want some!" yelled Nora.
"Oh did I say food? I mean I just strolled around Vale and... stuff " he said while giving them a sheepish smile.
"Aww, but I'm hungry" complained Nora. Ren shook his head and gestured Nora to follow him.
"C'mon Nora, let's go get some lunch" said Ren. Nora happily followed Ren and they both walked to the Cafeteria. Pyrrha stood back to watch over Jaune. Jaune however, feels uncomfortable with Pyrrha staying with him and decides to play it cool by slowly walking to the door. The spartan just narrows her deadly eyes at the knight and he suddenly flinches a bit.
"Hehe so Pyrrha... I-I'm gonna go get lunch, see you soon!" and with that, he quickly bolts out the door. Pyrrha shook her head disapprovingly and went to take a lie down.
Pyrrha approached her bed and suddenly just flopped down on it lazily. She told herself to never, EVER spar against a sugar high Nora again because that just causes body pains and broken arenas. As soon as she was about to succumb to her deep slumber, the sound of a scroll echoed throughout the whole room and woke Pyrrha up, surprising her. She then grabbed her scroll but she didn't receive any messages. Confused, Pyrrha then glanced around the room and found Jaune's scroll.
BEEP!
Was what the scroll said again. Pyrrha wanted to check out what it was but her sane part of her brain told her not to, that it was wrong to pry into other people's business. So she tried to will her self of the scroll but even will itself is not strong enough against curiosity and suspicion.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a quick peek" she said to herself. So she got out from her bed and grabbed Jaune's scroll. She then pressed the yellow diamond shaped button on the front and the scroll opened. Jaune received two messages by... Natasha? Pyrrha readied herself for the worst, she then viewed both those messages and her eyes went wide and her mouth became agape. Out of all the messages she didn't expect this...
Hey Jaune Natasha here again, so I'm guessing you've already seen the dress I'm gonna wear tonight - Natasha.
"Dress, what's the dress for?" she said to herself. She then viewed the second message by Natasha.
I hope it's enough for your taste, Anyways I have to go too but I'll see you tonight for our Date. - Natasha.
'Date' - Thought Pyrrha.
'Date?'
'Date!' she thought angrily.
"Date!"
"DATE!" yelled Pyrrha. A sinister Aura started to crowd the room.
"JAUNE ARC! WHEN I SEE YOU I'M GONNA KICK YOUR-"
Jaune shuddered randomly for no reason, and his brain told him something bad was coming. But he ignored it and continued eating lunch with his friends. Ren, Nora and Team RWBY were all sitting by their seats at the Cafeteria happily eating whatever they like to eat. Until Yang strangely lifted up her fist and smashed it on the table. Everyone looked at her confusingly, wondering why Yang did that for no reason. The brawler contained her emotions and even herself was confused at why she done that.
"Sorry guys, I don't know what came over me" said Yang.
"It's fine Yang, you're not the only one trying to control your emotions right now" replied Ruby.
"What do you mean Ruby?" asked Yang.
"I dunno, but for some reason I feel... Jealous and angry"
"Now that you say it, I do feel the same way you're feeling right now" answered Weiss.
"Hey yeah, me too" said Yang.
"For some reason, I do feel it too" replied Blake.
"Well what could it be?" asked Jaune, surprisingly.
Weiss stood up and slammed her fist on the table "NOTHING, WE'RE FINE JAUNE!" yelled Weiss. Jaune flinched at the sudden outburst and hid behind Nora.
"Oh I'm very sorry Jaune I don't know what came over me..." Weiss said sadly, and she slumped back to her seat. Jaune got up from his hiding spot and sat back down on his seat.
"N-Nah it's ok, I mean. You're a grumpy princess most of the times but you mean well" he said comfortingly. Weiss smiled affectionately at him, despite him calling her a grumpy princess.
"H-Hi Jaune" said someone behind Jaune, everyone turned to the source of the voice and found that it was Velvet who said her hello.
"Oh, hello Velvet, how are you today?" casually asked Jaune. Velvet blushed and hid her face behind a... Romance novel?
"I-I'm great today, How about you?" asked the Faunus.
"Meh, I'm good I guess, life's been pretty... Strange, these few days" he said which made her giggle a lot, so he gestured Velvet to sit next to him. She nodded happily and sat awfully close to him, but when she did she also placed her head on his shoulder and sighed dreamily. Team RWBY put two and two together and smiled at Velvet, happy that the bunny Faunus can get some of that... Jaune love.
"So Velvet, when did Jaune give it to you?" winked Yang. Velvet didn't fully understand the meaning of her sentence.
"You know, the 'Love'?" Velvet blushed but still didn't understand what she was saying.
"Don't you know 'the thing'?" she said, Velvet tilted her head to the side in confusion.
"You mean like, the male reproductive org-"
"NO! not that!" Yang exclaimed, she face palmed and sighed in defeat. Blake decided to take over.
"What she meant was, did he serenade you?" smiled Blake, Velvet understood and nodded excitedly.
"He was so AMAZING!" yelled an ecstatic Velvet which made Blake giggled lightly.
"Well, we're glad that he suddenly performed for you, otherwise you would've missed out on his surprising talent" she said.
"Well I'm also glad I experienced it, he's like... those guys in romance novels" said Velvet, Blake smiled a huge smile and understood what she meant.
"I know what you mean Velvet, and I have to agree with you" The two Faunus then looked at Jaune and stared at him dreamily. Team RWBY just decided to stay by the sidelines and watch the event unfold, but Jaune felt uncomfortable about the conversation and thought it was best to leave.
"A-Anyways guys we should go now, we'll see you soon Team RWBY and Velvet" said Jaune. He got up from his seat and walked away with Ren and Nora in tow. The girls said their goodbye's and waved at them, Team JNR waved back at them and continued walking.
As Team JNR walked through the corridors to their dorm room. Jaune felt a disturbing, scary and malicious aura the closer they got to their dorm, but he shrugged it off thinking it would go away soon. Ren and Nora couldn't feel a thing and they were just chatting away to things like plushie's and weapons... Well, mostly Nora did the talking while Ren answered all her questions. As soon as they turned the corner Jaune felt dizzy and his sight started to become blurry. He collapsed on the floor with a big thud but he wasn't unconscious. Ren and Nora heard the thud and looked behind them to see their leader has just suddenly collapsed onto the floor. Worried about Jaune, they rushed over to help him up to his feet. But the knight kept falling over whenever he tries to get back up, like his legs suddenly gave up on the energy he needs to stand.
"R-Ren, what's happening?" asked a weak Jaune.
"I don't know Jaune, but it doesn't look good" said Ren in a worried tone. Jaune started sweating and shaking from the dense and cold atmosphere, and surprisingly Ren and Nora didn't feel anything.
"A-Am I gonna die?" asked Jaune, Ren slapped him for such a stupid remark.
"No Jaune you're not gonna die, I'm not gonna let you die in Beacon's dormitory corridors" he said "Let's go, Nora help me help him up"
"Okay!" chirped Nora. So they both got him up by draping Jaune's arms over their shoulders. So they walked to their room in a slow yet manageable pace, but every step they took the illness of some kind got worse and worse for Jaune, and Ren and Nora were mildly scared for him. They turned a corner and found their room door just up ahead, but a couple of steps later Jaune screamed in fear as he wormed his way out of their grip and hid behind the corner. The Musician panted heavily and his whole body consisted of sweat and mild shaking, like trauma just hit him hard.
"W-What's h-happening Ren" he stuttered. Now the magenta eyed fighter felt scared and terrified.
"Look after Jaune Nora, I'll get Pyrrha" and with that he bolted off to his room. He arrived at the door and made no hesitation to open it as soon as possible, but when he found Pyrrha with black aura surrounding her and tightly gripping Jaune's scroll, he put two and two together and came to a conclusion. Pyrrha gazed over to Ren and looked at him with anger and Jealousy in her eyes. She stood up from her bed and casually walked to Ren while still gripping the scroll, as a matter of fact the scroll was at the brink of tearing apart. She stood in front of him and glanced at his eyes which made Ren close his eyes in fear of what would happen next.
"Where's Jaune? I need to... talk to him about something" asked Pyrrha politely, but her menacing tone could still be heard through her voice. He then opened his eyes and still saw the same angry green eyes the Amazonian was giving him.
'I gotta get him away from her, also remind myself to change dorm rooms' Thought Ren.
"U-Uhh I'm not s-so s-sure myself..." Stammered Ren, his eyes darting around trying to avoid the death glare by her. Pyrrha was not convinced, if she couldn't read body language then she would've believed him but unfortunately Ren wasn't going anywhere through lying.
"I'm gonna ask again... Where. Is. He?!" said Pyrrha sternly.
"I-I don't k-know Pyrrha..." He was now starting to feel the effects of Jaune's illness.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk wrong answer" Pyrrha then lifted her fist up above the air to send a devastating punch to Ren's face, luckily Ren put his hands up as a sign of surrender.
"Wait wait wait! I c-could find him for you!" answered Ren. Pyrrha now plastered a slasher smile across her face and the dark black aura started to subside.
"That would be good Ren, you have 3 hours to find him" she said sternly. Ren didn't say a word and instead, bolted out the door as fast as Ruby's semblance.
He ran around the corner and found Nora TRYING to take care of Jaune, she decided it would be best if she put a sloth plushie on top of his head and one inside his shirt.
"There you go, my sloth plushie's will help you get better" smiled Nora "Oh hey Ren, what's up!"
"Guys, we gotta get outta here!" panted Ren, sweat started to drip down his face. Since the aura that Pyrrha provided subsided Jaune felt much more better.
"Can you stand Jaune?" asked Ren. Jaune got to his feet but still felt like jello, but he can manage.
"Yeah I'll manage, what happened Ren?" asked Jaune.
"B-Bad things... Very bad things"
"Huh? you mean Pyrrha?" asked Jaune, the green clad boy rolled his eyes and nodded.
"C'mon we gotta get out of here and move rooms" he said "We'll go to professor Ozpin for room changes" Ren ran to the direction of the dorm room entrance.
"W-Wait! tell me what happened"
"I'll tell you when we get there"
Professor Ozpin was enjoying the day off, as he had no paperwork set for him for the day. He leaned back on his chair and looked out the window with a cup of Vale's finest coffee while enjoying the beautiful blue skies with birds happily flying everywhere and a sweet tune being played in the background. This tune is professor Ozpin's most favoured piece of music and he would go through Hell just to get it back if taken from him. Surprisingly he is that dedicated to music, and he would die happy knowing that students would at least learn how to play an instrument whether it would be Cello, Saxophone... Or the Triangle. The Headmaster chuckled at the triangle, wondering why it was even an instrument.
This was why professor Ozpin was interested at Jaune, because he must be the only student at Beacon who can sing and play the instrument very well. When he first heard his talent via scroll he was smiling and amazingly pleased to see a student finally using a guitar and a true singing voice. No, pleased would be an understatement... He was fangirling in the inside but luckily he didn't show it as he kept his composure.
As he was enjoying the beautiful view of the school grounds and bright sky, he reminisced about his life. How it has changed and how time went very quickly through out the years, even wondering if there's even a time machine that could send him back to his glorious and free past. Sadly that wasn't possible and he just had to be ready for the future, even when it's the day he passes away. He looked up at the beautiful sky and smiled. His life has been a blast, literally and figuratively. Despite all the uncountable mistakes he's done in the past but he doesn't regret a single one as he has learnt from all of them.
He leaned his head back on the chair and closed his eyes, the warm sunshine and the sound of birds made it easier for him to sleep in peace, but a knock from the door woke him up. Grumbling and sighing in annoyance, he turned his chair around and put his hands on his desk, waiting for the person to come in.
"Come in" said professor Ozpin. Three figures walked in and found that it was Jaune, Ren and Nora. This surprised the Headmaster a bit as they only visit him when they are being called.
"H-Hey professor Ozpin, we would like to- Oh wow, what song is that?" said Jaune, interested at the Piano/Cello tune playing in the background. Ozpin smiled a huge smile and answered for him.
"This tune being played right now is called Story of my life by the PianoGuys, why do you ask Mr Arc?"
"It's just really good!" said Jaune, Ozpin chuckled.
"I'm glad you like it Mr Arc this is my most treasured music piece, maybe you could try play it some time" said Ozpin.
"Well I guess I could play it, but I'm gonna need time to make practice for it"
"Of course, practice makes perfect, Am I right Mr Arc?"
"Yes sir, anyways we came to ask for a request..." said Jaune, Ozpin lifted his eyebrow confusingly but gestured Jaune to go on.
"Ok, may I ask what your request is?"
"We request for room changes please" Chimed Ren.
"Room changes? May I ask why?"
"Well... There's something wrong with Pyrrha, and I feel it could be very dangerous as I have seen and felt the effects"
"What?! Pyrrha being dangerous? That's crazy!" butted in Jaune. Ren turned to him with a deadpan expression.
"Jaune, Have you ever wondered why you suddenly got the illness?"
"Uhh... I didn't really wonder why I guess, I thought I caught something bad from eating my lunch" said Jaune.
"That wasn't just an ordinary sickness Jaune, That looked like a life-and-death illness to me" retorted Ren. Jaune opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't think of anything to say back to him.
"I felt the same effects as you did by the way, she cornered me into a wall... With those eyes of anger..." he said "This is why we must change rooms Professor, as their is something wrong with our redheaded teammate, I'm guessing time would probably be the best cure for her"
Ozpin thought about it for a moment and then nodded approvingly.
"Very well, you may take room 48D on the third floor as that is a spare room, but how will you grab your belongings when your teammate is in there?" asked the professor, Ren did the same thing as Jaune and opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't of think of anything to say right now which made Ozpin chuckle a bit.
"I'll bring Ms Nikos in and hopefully, give you enough time to pack your stuff and leave" Ren thanked the Professor and the trio made their way out of the office. The Headmaster took his scroll and messaged Pyrrha to see her immediately.
Pyrrha is still currently waiting for the blonde knight to show up. Her patience started to run thin and her anger still boiled hotter than the sun, until a beep from a scroll startled her. She gazed down at Jaune's scroll and found no new messages available, so she grabbed her scroll and surprisingly, found a message from professor Ozpin himself.
I wish to speak with you Ms Nikos - Professor Ozpin.
Pyrrha looked confused but did as she was told, she headed on out and walked to Professor Ozpin's office. She would have to delay Jaune's punishment... For now, and wait for a better time to do it.
The sane teammates of Team JNPR made their way to their dorm room to pack everything and move. Still obviously Cautious about Pyrrha's whereabouts as she could be anywhere right now. While they were walking to their room, Ren was still thinking about the frightening event that transpired in their room. Jaune was worried about Pyrrha's health and Nora being Nora... Decided to just talk to her sloth pulshie's. The trio finally arrived at the door, but were too scared to open it up. Fearing for what evil presence is lurking behind that door.
"C'mon guys, we have to get in there..." said Jaune.
"Ok... You go first" said Nora.
"What? why me first?"
"Because you're our leader, duh!"
"Why won't Ren go first?"
"I'd rather not, besides I think it's you're turn to experience what I felt"
"I already experienced what you felt... Only 10 times worse"
"Oh true that... Nora why don't you go in?"
"Wha- REN! why would you put your best friend in danger?!" said a shocked Nora. But Ren just shrugged.
"Because you're probably the second strongest, if not the first, of our team. And besides, I'm sure Pyrrha is sane enough to not attack a fellow female teammate anyway" replied Jaune, Nora thought about it for a moment and sighed in defeat.
"Fine I'll do it... but If I die I'm gonna haunt you guys in your sleep, got it!"
"Got it!" said Ren.
"I got it, although I wouldn't want a ghost Nora... Normal Nora scares me enough" shuddered Jaune.
The pink clad girl took a deep breath and turned the door knob slowly, she then swung it open rapidly with fists and kicks blazing into the room... And also one explosion. The two boys rushed inside and found a broken chair and several ripped bed sheets with a burnt bed sheet on Jaune's bed. The hyperactive girl smiled like the devil as if nothing happened. Jaune and Ren shrugged and they made a quick beeline for their clothes, equipment, bathroom stuff, books, and stuffed all of them in luggages. Nora did the same thing but she was faster than them and finished everything in under two minutes. Once they were done they quickly headed out the door.
"W-Wait guys, I need to get something quickly!" he said, Jaune almost forgot something important so he put his bags down and quickly collected the two blue flowers and his guitar from under his bed.
"Alright I'm all good, let's go!"
"Ok cool, Nora what about you?" asked Ren.
"All good Renny! you guys sure about this? I mean, we could help her or something... Instead of just abandoning her"
"We're not abandoning her, we're still a team but we're in separate rooms"
"But Ren... What's the point of being in a team if we're all separated..." said Nora sadly. Jaune and Ren took that to heart and instantly felt guilty, but they had to do it for the sake of their safety. Pyrrha wouldn't just give them a scolding session, she would destroy them, inside and out, figuratively and literally and no man should experience that.
"Look Nora this is only temporary, once she's finally over it we'll come back..." said Ren. Nora still looked sad but she had a bright idea.
"Why don't you guys just stay at your new room, I'll stay here with Pyrrha so she wouldn't be alone" smiled Nora, Jaune and Ren looked dumbfounded and shocked to hear Nora say that.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah Of course, besides, she's hunting you guys not me" giggled the pink clad woman.
"Don't remind me..." They said in unison. Nora hugged the two boys and picked up her own stuff and walked back into the room.
"You got quite the friend there Ren, I wonder how you came across that one" said Jaune which made Ren smile proudly.
"She can be quite a handful sometimes but when she is serious she does what she thinks is best, to be honest, without her I don't know what I would be today" replied Ren, Jaune smiled at his friend and they both continued walking to their new room on the third floor.
As they were walking Ren suddenly had a thought that popped up in his head, he was curious as to why Pyrrha was acting like that in the first place. Earlier on he saw Pyrrha grip Jaune's scroll, maybe she looked at something she simply didn't like. Either way, it was really bugging him and had the urge to ask Jaune about it.
"Jaune could I tell you something?"
"Yeah, shoot"
"When I walked in she was holding your scroll Jaune, Do you have anything in there that may have offended Pyrrha?" asked Ren.
"Well I have nothing rude or inappropriate on my scroll, so I'm not sure why she would be acting like that..."
"What was the last program you went to before you left your scroll at the dorm room?"
"Well I went through my messages..."
"Were you talking to anyone she didn't like?"
"I dunno, I was talking to Natasha about our da... Oh God! What did I do?!" panicked Jaune, he was moving around a lot and Ren had to hold him down.
"Calm down Jaune, Anything you said that she didn't like?" he asked.
"W-Well, maybe..."
"Maybe?"
"I'll tell you when we get to our new room" he said. They finally arrived at their room and they made no hesitation to open it up. The room was just the same room they had, but simply much cleaner and more quiet and empty. Now the two boys are starting to feel the effects of loneliness and emptiness, but no use sobbing over it as their leave would only be temporary.
"I'll take the right half of the room, you take the left" responded Jaune, Ren simply nodded and placed his belongings carefully while Jaune just carelessly threw them onto the bed. An hour past by and the two boys have finished redecorating the area, so they thought a well deserved lie down would suffice. While they were lying down on their respective beds, Ren thought it would be best if he brought up the mention of the earlier conversation.
"So Jaune, care to tell me why Pyrrha had your scroll?" Jaune sighed depressingly and placed his hands behind his head. Hoping that he would drop the conversation.
"W-Well... She may have seen something that would make her mad, given her current state"
"And that is?"
"I have a date with that Natasha girl..." Ren's eyes widened and his mouth hung open.
"Wait? What?!"
"Yup, I have a date... Tonight"
"Why haven't you told me sooner?"
"I didn't think you would be interested"
"Jaune I'm your friend, you're supposed to tell me, even when Pyrrha is trying to kill us... Well mostly you, I should still have the right to know. If you told me sooner I would've though of something and we wouldn't be in this mess and Pyrrha wouldn't have to get all deathly crazy on us"
"Oh... maybe I should also give you all the juicy details of my current relationships" smirked Jaune which made Ren roll his eyes.
"Don't push it Jaune... You'll probably only give me the bad news as nothing really works out for you anyway" retorted Ren who had a huge smile on his face. Jaune sat up from his bed and threw a pillow at the gun wielder which only made Ren laugh.
"Besides, you kind of dragged me to this little fiasco" said Ren.
"I guess so... Hey Ren, could I ask you a quick favour"
"Yeah sure go ahead"
"If I do have my date tonight, could you watch over me so no one would interrupt"
"What makes you say that?"
"I don't know, I don't feel entirely safe when Pyrrha is mad at me" said Jaune "So could you watch over us for the time being until the date is over"
"...No"
"Aww c'mon Ren!"
"No I won't put my own life in danger just so you can have an uninterrupted date"
"Come on! when was the last time I actually asked for a favour?" pleaded Jaune.
"Lots of times... I suddenly lost count of it all"
"What can I do to convince you to say yes?"
"..."
"..."
"Teach me how to become a musician like you"
"Like wha-?"
"Teach me how to become like you"
"Okay done! but you'll promise to watch out for me?"
"Yes I will I promise"
"Thanks Ren, by the way what time is it?"
"It's 5 o'clock, what time should you be seeing her?"
"At 6"
"Well I guess you better get ready then, don't want to leave a bad impression on your first date. And don't worry, you're date will go smoothly" smiled Ren.
"Sisters! Tonight we hunt down the man named Jaune Arc, as he has betrayed us and went for a woman we have no known connection to. She doesn't know the importance of marked territory as we have already marked Jaune as ours" said Pyrrha.
"We'll destroy their date and leave a bad impression on them!" chanted Pyrrha. "After we hunt down the boy, we will hunt down the girl too and leave nothing but sorrow and awkwardness!"
"He's betrayed us!"
"She's taken our territory!"
"We'll destroy their beautiful date" Pyrrha laughed maniacally and smiled her scariest smile yet.
"At last my sisters, we'll take what is rightfully ours! We are tired of waiting and therefore must take matters into our own hands. If Jaune can go on a date with someone he doesn't know then we can do the same thing!" Laughed Pyrrha devilishly, and then the sound of Guns cocking and Blade sharpening echoed throughout the room... With Nora tied to a chair.
