"Here you are!"
Yang's heart almost jumped out of her chest as she stared at the person who surprised her while she was NOT hiding in the Emerald Cliffs. Today was the day of the dance and she finally finished the preparations with Weiss and Coco and now all she wanted was to rest and avoid a certain blonde.
A certain blonde that was now there.
"I should throw you from this cliff! You almost gave me a heart attack Jaune!"
"Hey, I survived it once! Besides, I'm just worried about you, you have being cold and distant and that is so not you. What's the matter?" He asked as he sat by her side, both with their legs hanging on the cliff. Of course, she couldn't admit she was jealous of how happy Pyrrha was about the dance… at least not yet. She would confess to Jaune, at the right time, and she didn't want to ruin Pyrrha's night doing so right now.
"It's nothing, just too busy with the party and crabby Weiss." Yang dismissed, and then felt Jaune's hand on her shoulder pulling her closer to him. She wanted to pull away, but then he had to start gently stroking her hair with his fingers, forcing her to relax and rest her head on his. "You're the only one aside Ruby that I allow to touch my hair…"
"That makes me happy. You know you can count on me for everything, right?"
"I do, sir knight. And if I believe you can help me I'll go for you." She smiled and kissed his cheek, not missing the big blush he had. "I'm glad we met again here."
"Me too. I was actually counting the days to see you again." He affirmed and Yang blushed slightly. "I wouldn't be here if you didn't unlock my Aura that day and…"
"And…" She asked, letting a little bit of hope fill her heart. Hope that his next words would be just the right ones.
"Here you are!" She clinched and had to control her desire to just throw a certain ice queen into the forest. "We need to go to Vale now if we want to buy a dress and stilts to your dunce of a sister!"
"But I don't like lady stilts! I barely can walk on them!" Ruby whined by the heiress side.
"And I told you can go in a tuxedo or suit!" The heiress answered back with her hands on her waist, and Jaune thought Ruby would like nice in a tuxedo, the same way his youngest sister looks good on one… not that he would ever admit it to her.
"I don't like boy's clothes! I like dresses with boots!" Ruby defended her choices in fashion with a cute pout. Jaune couldn't help but laugh as how she was behaving exactly like his sister right now.
"Alright!" Yang shouted as she got up, patting the back of her shorts to get all the dirty off. "Ruby, you need to learn how to use stilts. You want to be a lady too, right?"
"Why can't I just be a kickass lady?" Ruby countered, mighty pout still in place. The blonde knight laughed a little and got up, approaching them.
"You can kickass in stilts. You can take an eye out with them." Jaune chimed in with an easy smile, petting Ruby's head, making her smile.
"Really? Let's go them!" Ruby said now too happy for Weiss to follow, while Yang laughed it out.
"Come on, sis! We will get you the deadliest stilts! Oh wait… Jaune!" She yelled at him with an angry face when a thought crossed her mind. "Please tell me you have a decent suit!"
"I do!" He answered defensively as he sat back at the cliffs.
"I bet it's frilly and orange." Weiss affirmed with her arms crossed, making Yang shiver at the thought.
"Tell me it isn't frilly and orange!" Yang shouted again.
"No! Who would even use something frilly and orange?!"
…
"Are you sure this is a cool suit, Cardin?"
"Of course I am, Russell! It certainly will get attention!" Cardin answered as he watched himself inside the bright orange suit on the mirror. "Tonight we will be the coolest and most fashionable team at the ball!"
…
"I swear to the heavens, Jaune, if you come with a ridiculous suit I'll make you change into a dress."
"I swear it's a nice suit! Coco approved! And you know I rock a dress!" Jaune answered proudly.
"Wait… he wore a dress before?" Weiss asked in surprise.
"It was when we were like… fourteen, and he indeed looked good. But he wasn't as… buff as he is now." Yang assented remembered both Jaune in a dress and how muscular he become, but not too muscular. "Just like momma Yang likes."
"What?" Weiss asked and Yang shook her head.
"Nothing! Let's go!" She finished and waved at Jaune, as did Ruby and the three girls left, leaving Jaune alone for a moment.
"Ah well… I might see what the others are doing after all." He wondered as he got up and started to seek his friends around the school. They probably were having it easy.
…
"I knew it." Jaune said as he found Blake hidden under the farthest table in the library. "Yang will get mad at you if you're still tiring yourself."
"I'm not tiring myself." Blake defended and showed the book cover. "I'm just reading something to pass time. I'll even go to the ball tonight and I even got a silly dress and all."
"Hey, I have this book back home. My mom used to read it for my sisters and I all the time." Jaune said as he entered Blake's hideout and sat by her side. Blake blushed only slightly at the close proximity, and was happy she had a better degree of self control than Yang or Pyrrha.
"There's some pretty brutal tales here…" She commented as she skimmed through its pages, stopping at some of the rather odd illustrations. "Nowadays this wouldn't be considered proper to children."
"Mom said she preferred stories like this instead of the sugar coated ones because it would remember us that while a happy ending can be at the end of our stories don't mean there won't be hardships along the way." Jaune explained and Blake smiled slightly.
"So, which one you like the most?"
"Oh… well… I like the Tale of the Golden Knight." He admitted while blushing a little.
"The one about the girl that stole her father's armor and sword to fight in the war?" Jaune nodded and Blake smiled again. "It's a nice tale; sadly it ends with the Golden Knight death."
"It does, but her sacrifice allowed her people to defeat the evil tyrant. It's bittersweet, but she didn't waste her life." He said and Blake nodded again. "By the way, Sun…"
"Wants to invite me to the ball. I know, he's asking anyone that barely knows me of my whereabouts. It's not that I dislike him, he's a nice guy and all, it's just…" Jaune waited for her to put her words together. "It's just I don't want to mislead him thinking I see him more than a friend. Just because we are… fun loving people doesn't mean our relationship will go beyond friendship."
"Fun loving people?" Jaune asked first and Blake pointed at her bow. "Oh… right. So why not just tell him that, maybe go with him as friends? He's smart, he will understand, and I doubt you would hurt your friendship this way."
"Maybe you're right. Being clear with him will be the best for both of us. By the way, I saw Pyrrha before coming here, and she was really happy." Blake asked as she stared at Jaune's reaction.
"I think she really wanted to go to the ball. Nora forced us to make a JNPR dance, in her words, and Pyrrha was really energetic about it all. I hope we all can have some fun." He commented and Blake smiled grew bigger in her face.
"Yang convinced me to go; she even said she would save me a dance." She said and Jaune waited her to continue. "It feels weird still… something big is happening around us and we still are trying to live our lives as if nothing was happening…"
"My grandfather told me once… 'Jaune m'boy, we live in times of peace now, but we need to keep an eye for signs of war. But if we start living like we are always at war, we won't be able to know when we are at peace.'" Jaune said with his best old man impersonation and Blake had to keep a laugh in check. "People can't live in fear all the time, it was what he meant. Or else it would be a really miserable life. And that is what some say feeds the Grimm, right?"
"I think your grandfather might have a point. So, I think I'll go find Sun…"
"Blake! Are you here?!"
"…and here he is, yelling in the library. I swear I'll tie him with his tail and leave him here." Blake groaned and Jaune chuckled.
"Kinky."
"Shut it!" She said as she prepared to leave. "By the way, do you have a suit?"
"Yes, and no, it's not bright orange." He answered and both laughed this time.
"Maybe we can have one dance too?" The catgirl asked and Jaune nodded in consent, missing the small smile forming on her face, then Blake left and found Sun being chastised by the librarian.
…
Jaune walked around Beacon a little more. Blake had a point and his mind wondered to that point. It was true; they knew something was wrong, and that it wasn't something small. The girls did fight a known criminal in a giant military mech after all. As he promised he didn't tell the teachers, but he had to tell his mother back home, and that raised concern. His father was eager to use it as an excuse to bring him back (not as eager as his sisters), but his mother told him he was needed there.
"I like here." He said to himself as he observed Beacon from afar, near the fountain in the entrance.
The truth is he wanted to spend those four years there, with his friends, maybe the best friends he ever had. And he wouldn't go back to the relative safeness of his homeland and let his friends behind. As he wondered he saw the statue in the front and groaned.
"I still would like if they changed that damn statue."
"Language, Mr. Arc." He turned to see Ms. Goodwitch by his side, and she smirked over his reaction. "Calm down. I'm not here to punish you."
"Heh. Funny... That's what my babysitter..." he stared at her and tilted his head a little to the side… "Wait… Miss Glyn?"
"You finally recognized me. I was wondering if I changed so much since then." She asked with a serious hurt tone that made Jaune shiver.
"N-NO! I m-mean… It's not that you changed… It was six years ago and you haven't like…. Aged at all?"
"Nice save there, Mr. Arc." She said with a small mocking smile. "You on the other hand grew up to be a fine young man. I remember I couldn't tell you apart from your sisters easily back then."
"On my defense, they were always putting me in a dress. But really, Miss Glyn, you look as young as you were back then but…"
"But?"
"You used to smile more." He confessed and she sighed.
"It was easy to smile when all I needed was to make sure eight lovely children were proper feed and not creating chaos. Now I have to supervise grownups who have very little self-restraint, a propensity to go overboard or completely ignore problems and are utterly addicted to caffeine."
"I didn't know we drank that much coffee… I think I never actually saw coffee in the mess hall…"
"I was talking about the staff, Mr. Arc, not the students." Jaune left out a nervous laugh after that. "The students mostly behave well… With some obvious exceptions."
"In my defense, my team has a Nora."
"Yes, you do."
"Why haven't you told me before? You were my favorite babysitter! And the only one my sisters and I didn't drive insane…" Ms. Goodwitch laughed a little and shook her head.
"I didn't want to make you uncomfortable or make students question when and especially where we had met. Besides, I didn't want you to believe you got any special treatment."
"I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have given me any. Weird… Now I'm having a nagging feeling I'm forgetting something important between us…" He then tried to remember what it was while Glynda blushed a little, but she decided to dodge the question.
"What do you think of Vale so far? One reason you was sent here was to evaluate us, after all."
"Oh. That obvious? Well… in some aspects is not that different from back home, but in others… People here paint themselves as better than what they really are, but most have their heart in the right places." Jaune pondered for a while. "And then there are the people that act like assholes unashamedly, but I think you have those everywhere."
"Language, Mr. Arc." She warned again but nodded in agreement. "We are aiming for improvement, but we do have a long road ahead. It's said old habits die hard, sadly this stands true to countries. But this kind of exchange of experiences we have, I want to believe they will have a positive effect in the long term."
"I hope so too. So, about that thing I think I forgot…" Glynda blushed slightly again but her pad beeped just in time.
"Sorry Mr. Arc, I'm needed somewhere else."
"Oh, it's fine. We probably will have other chances to talk. I mean, I know where you work." She smiled slightly at the sentence before leaving. "I wonder what Yang is doing right now…"
…
"How about this one?"
The question Weiss directed at the blonde girl didn't quite hit the target as Yang was deep in thought. Now all she could think is that she had a moment with Jaune that morning, and that she really wanted to have a clue on how he felt. Jaune was oblivious, but he also wasn't the most obvious guy to read. Because of his usual happy and gentle nature, it was hard to decide when he was being just himself or when he was being extra caring towards someone.
"Let's go with this one, Ruby, it shows lots of skin and I'm sure we can get you some sexy panties just in case you score tonight."
"NO ONE IS PUTTING MY BABY SISTER IN SEXY PANTIES!" Yang yelled and everyone stared at them, making both Ruby, wearing a red dress and her sister to blush madly.
"Glad to see you back with us, Xiao Long. What's up with you? Usually you love shopping, even more than me, and today you're just… out of it." Weiss asked with a hint of concern on her voice.
"It's nothing; I'm just worried about tonight's party. After all it was us that planned the whole thing."
"That's good. I thought you were worried about Jaune." Ruby spout out, causing Yang to wince and Weiss to scoff.
"I really don't understand why you're interested in him. Sure, he's not bad, but there are way better suitors than him in Beacon itself." The heiress dismissed and Yang sighed as she sat again.
"Weiss, I don't know what you think a good suitor is, but to me is not just someone 'cool' and 'refined'. I long ago learned that the 'perfect guy' magazines try to sell you doesn't exist. And before meeting Jauney I'd probably had agreed with you. But… here's the thing, I learned that he's the perfect guy I want. He's a dork, awkward, clumsy and lack social skills, yes. But he's loyal, cute, brave, sweet, funny, he listens to me when most people would just want to show me off and most of all, he respects me and see me for the person, not the looks." Yang's confession surprised Weiss, while Ruby had a big smile on her face.
"I can… relate with that last part… You know him for a few years now, right?" Weiss asked, now curious.
"Yeah… I think knowing him so well only made me like him more."
"I approve. This way he'll be my real big brother!" Ruby celebrated causing Yang to smile.
"Let's not go ahead of ourselves, Rubes. I'm just… I'm just afraid I'm losing my chance because it took me so long to realize how I feel."
"Then I think you should stop wasting time. I'm sure Pyrrha also likes the dolt, and she has a big chance tonight. You're not the kind of people to wait, Xiao Long. And before you say it, yes, I know you want to be considerate towards Pyrrha, but it's either you getting hurt or her, and both of you are grown up girls that will get over it."
"Wow… that was actually a good advice." Yang said as a small smile grace her face.
"Of course it was. Now you better help me choose a dress for your sister, and we still need to choose stilts."
"Can I have some with knifes or guns as stilts?" Ruby asked now excited.
"Who the hell walks around with either?"
Somewhere else Melanie Malachite and Mercury Black sneezed.
…
"Stupid lady stilts… and they aren't even guns! You lied to me!" Ruby accused Jaune as they arrived at the party. The boy was walking in linked arms with Pyrrha, and there was more than two envy stares right now, considering how beautiful she was in the red dress.
"Think this way, little sister; you can always add guns tomorrow." He laughed and she pouted, but she was going to do it.
"I'll be by the punch." She declared as she walked awkwardly towards the table.
"Try to not punch people when they go get some punch." Yang joked and everyone groaned. "Well, let's all go have some fun."
As she said that Ruby limped to the food's table, while Nora and Ren followed her, the later probably to avoid the former of eating everything. Weiss at first moved around to each table to check if everything was alright until Neptune came and talked with her. There was surprise first, some smiles and a bit of surprise on the heiress as she eyed Jaune dancing with Pyrrha. Sun and Blake arrived a little after and Yang made sure to have her first dance.
After her dance with Blake though she joined Ruby at the upper level. She wasn't really in the mood of dancing with anyone else and she'd rather not humor the more hormonal guys calling her out. So she grabbed some punch and now observed from up there, seeing everyone have fun and feeling like she did a good job.
"Hiding here, sis?" She asked Ruby.
"Yep. Can't dance with these things in my feet." She affirmed as she sipped the punch. "But the party being pretty nice. Everyone is having fun. Look, even Ms. Goodwitch is dancing with the general."
"Uh, she doesn't strike me to have the hots for the military type." Yang commented while Ruby made sounds to show how grossed out she was at the thought. "Hey come on, I told you to not scrap romance altogether, you might like it if you give it a chance."
"I'm good, thank you. I'm surprised you didn't waste yourself in the dance floor."
"Well…" She was about to retort something when she saw Nora pestering the DJs and dragging her team with her. "Oh, I need to see this closer!" She left Ruby alone, and the petite girl decided she could use some fresh air.
…
"I can't believe you guys did that routine! That was on a professional level!" Yang came with scroll in hand. "I already uploaded it to the DustTube!"
"Ugh, my sisters won't shut up about it now. I'll be forced to teach them this one." Jaune groaned and stretched. "But that was a good exercise. I haven't danced like this since my younger sisters decided they wanted me to make their choreographies."
"You should have invited us for it. It would be awesome!" Yang added.
"Oh, then we could get the fireworks!" Nora shouted from her seat. "Jaune didn't allow me to set some for tonight!"
"Thankfully." Ren added but Nora just rolled her eyes.
"I might say I haven't had so much fun in ages. But next time I'll chose a different pair of shoes. My feet are killing me." Pyrrha said that but was smiling as she massaged her feet.
"I told you to use something more comfortable." Jaune prided himself as he shook his foot to show off his converses.
"A suit and converses." Yang questioned a she finally noticed the arrangement.
"Coco approved." Jaune reinforced and Yang laughed. It was a nice setup after all, elegant and a little bit rebellious. "By the way, I didn't see you dancing after Blake's. Did you hurt your feet or something?"
"Nah. I just don't have a pair for myself."
"Oh, that's odd. I expected to have a line for you tonight." Yang simply shrugged at his affirmation. Of course she couldn't just say she wanted to be dancing with him. "Well, I feel like dancing a bit more. If it's OK with you, Pyr?"
"Oh." Pyrrha stared at Jaune's easy smile and Yang blushing slightly. The champion couldn't dance more unless she wanted to get some blisters, and they were there to have fun, after all. "Sure. We're all here to have fun after all."
Yang didn't have time to answer as Jaune grabbed her hand and dragged her to the dance floor, and the blonde stared at Pyrrha in utter shock. The champion simply smiled and nodded, confusing the brawler. The truth is the redhead wasn't afraid of losing. She believed that if she and Jaune were supposed to be then everything would happen naturally.
So now Yang found herself being led by Jaune Arc of all people, and she wondered since when he got so easy going around her. She was a specialist in making him blush and trip, yet he was conducting her around flawless. And she was wearing a nice dress that showed just enough but he didn't even noticed it.
"You look great in this dress." OK, he did notice it. But now she was blushing.
"Thanks." She answered back simply. At least the music was a loud techno for dancing with jumps and wild movements and not…
"Oh, a slow one. I think they decided everyone needed a break." He said as the music changed, and soon she found him holding her hand and one arm wrapped on her waist.
She couldn't believe on the bold move. He was dancing a slow song with her while smiling, not a single blush! She would have nothing of that, so she pressed her chest against him, and now both blushed a little. But he kept dancing with her, his steps steady and his rhythm perfect, so she rested her cheek on his chest, and his heart was beating fast now, prompting a small smile from her.
"If I knew you danced so well I'd taken you with me during our little infiltration mission instead of Neptune." She commented.
"I'm pretty sure it would've ended the exactly same way." He chuckled and she smiled again.
"Next time I feel like dancing I'll take you with me, and no, you don't have a say on it."
"So you will kidnap me?"
"Yep. I might never give you back." She said and then stared at him, her lilac eyes deeply staring at his blue eyes. "Would you like it?"
"My family would find me." He answered with a big smile as they kept close with the slow music playing in the background.
"I'd fight them." She said as a matter of fact and Jaune blushed madly at what she just implied to him.
"Y-Yang…" He stuttered and she smiled, making them stop as she was about to do something risky.
"Yang!" She stopped in her tracks as Blake came closer. "It's about Ruby. Apparently she fought someone that attacked the comm. tower."
"I'm going!" She rushed behind Blake, leaving a surprised and confused Jaune behind.
…
"You should've called us." Yang chastised her sister as they returned from Ruby's run-in with a infiltrator. Thankfully they convinced Ozpin and the general to question the little girl more thoroughly the next day, so they wouldn't have to spend the night without any sleep.
"There was no time..." Ruby tried to defend herself.
"You had time to call your weapon, you could sent a message to us, a simple call." Weiss affirmed without giving ruby room to discuss. "I know you tried to do the right thing, but you are our leader, teammate, friend…" at that word Ruby smiled brightly at Weiss. "So next time don't risk your life. We are here to help you."
"Thanks, Weiss. I'll remember that." Ruby answered as they finally arrived at their dorm. Ruby opened it with her scroll, and then they turned as Ren opened team JNPR's door.
"Hey girls. So, what was this about?" Jaune asked from inside the room. Nora and Pyrrha also stared at them in concern.
"It was just my lil sis fighting another thief. I swear she is trying to be a superhero." Yang said with a smirk, making Ruby blush.
"You should've called us." Jaune chastised the reaper.
"I told her just that." Weiss spoke. "He's right."
"Fine, I promise I'll call you all next time I got in trouble." Ruby conceded and yawned. And then everyone yawned at the same time, generating chuckles and giggles from everyone.
"I'll hold on that. Let's all take some rest. Good night." Jaune started and everyone spend a good chunk of time wishing each other a goodnight. After Ren closing the door he dropped himself on his bed and started sleeping. Nora followed suit, leaving Jaune and Pyrrha to at least remove a few accessories.
"You know, I never expected my time at Beacon to be this eventful." The champion said as she removed her headpiece.
"Sometimes I feel like I never left home and I still have seven sisters making havoc around me, just now one of my sisters is a brother." Jaune said and Pyrrha had to cover her mouth to not laugh out loud.
"You're right… I think this is what having a big family must feels like… minus all the crime fighting."
"I'd be not so sure." He said and Pyrrha once again suppressed a laugh before dropping on her bed and wishing him one last good night. Jaune turned the lights off and also let sleep take him away.
…
"That was close." Emerald said as she and her 'team' also prepared to sleep. Cinder kept messing with her scroll and ignored her remark.
"Come on, like that little girl could've done something." Mercury answered as he got rid of the suit.
"She was unexpected, and unexpected is never good, Mercury." Cinder finally chimed in. "We might have to do something with that team sooner or later."
"How about Roman and the Fang? Wouldn't they become a problem?"
"Roman is greed, and the Fang is blind. Perfect for my needs, dear Mercury. Oh…" She stopped at a particular file she was able to hack through the comm. tower. "Interesting. We might have another piece on our little game… or maybe another player… Either a knight or a king."
"A king?" Emerald questioned. As she peeked on Cinder's scroll. A picture of Jaune Arc showed on it.
…
A.N.: Sorry for the delay on this chapter. Next chapter will have the biggest deviation from what happens in the first volumes of RWBY. After that it will be a 100% original Arc (GDI BARBS) so I hope you like it. ^^
I probably will wait for the end of Volume 3 to decide if I'll venture on those events, so I might end this tale rather abruptly. Hopefully V3 will not end in a big cliffhanger like last RvB season and we will have a bit more of answers.
OMAKE
Team JNPR sat in their dorm preparing for the dance that was soon to happen. Pyrrha was nervously pacing while glancing at her dress which was on her bed. Ren was calm and meditating on his bed...or he could be napping it was difficult for Jaune to tell. As for Nora...
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-woah!" Nora was sat on her bed quietly for once but every so often she started vibrating like she was sitting on a washing machine or something, and there was a suspicious noise coming from the blankets which she was sitting on like a nest.
"Nora." Jaune looked up from his X-ray and Vav comic to the Valkyrie "Is something wrong?"
"Wrong me?" the Valkyrie asked nervously and began vibrating again "W-why w-would y-ou a-a-ask tha-WAH!"
Nora was suddenly thrown off the bed by the vibrating blanket which seemed to become more violent in its shaking. Overcome by curiosity Jaune put down his comic and went over to the shaking bundle of blankets.
"Jauney no!" Nora's objection came too late as Jaune opened the blankets to reveal the source of the vibrating was...a lidded cooking pot?
"Is that a cooking pot?" Pyrrha asked looking at what Nora had been hiding.
"Nora!" The girls face fell when she realized she was busted and reluctantly looked at Ren's stern face. "You know you're forbidden from cooking."
"I'm sorry Renny." Nora cried "I was tricked I swear."
"By Whom?" Ren asked rubbing his temples to stave off his headache.
"Sun, he challenged me to a contest to know which of us could make the best pancakes." Nora answered.
"Er...guys what about that?" Jaune asked pointing to the pot which had begun shaking even more vigorously.
"We need to do something before it explodes." Ren stated seriously. "Nora is forbidden from cooking because everything she makes explodes."
"HOT POTATO!" Jaune quickly took up the pot and threw at Pyrrha who caught it reflexively.
"Don't give it to me!" Pyrrha tossed it at Ren.
"Here you go!" Ren tossed it at Nora and it quickly devolved into a game of who would hold the pot before it would explode as they tossed it at one another.
"My..." Nora tossed it to Jaune.
"mother..." Jaune passed it to Pyrrha…
"told..." Pyrrha threw it to Nora…
"me..." Nora passed it back to Ren…
"you..." Ren Promptly passed it Pyrrha…
"are..." Pyrrha passed it Jaune..
"it." Jaune tossed it to Nora.
"Oh! I win!" Nora cheered holding up the ready to blow pot victoriously.
"NORA GET RID OF IT!" Ren shouted snapping his friend back to reality.
Nora panicked and ran out of the room, she looked down the hallway looking for someplace to get rid of the pot but only saw Team RWBY#s door opening.
"What is going on over there?" Weiss demanded of Nora.
"HEREYAGOENJOYTHISBYE!" Taking the chance Nora shoved the pot into Weiss's arms and booted her back into her team's room and quickly shut the doors and placed her fingers in here ears.
"Ms Valkyrie." she looked up to Chifuyu approaching with a raised eyebrow. "What are you do…"
Chifuyu was suddenly cut off by loud explosion, a slight shaking and screams of surprise coming from Team RWBY's room. Taking a second to regain her bearings the teacher opened up the room only to see it painted in what looked like pancake batter. Team RWBY fell from the walls on which they had been stuck by the explosion.
The rest of team JNPR stuck their heads out of their door to peer at the mess as did several other teams.
"Oum give me strength." Chifuyu sighed. "Can't I have one day of peace without my idiot nephew causing trouble? One day is all I ask."
