Carrying the book in his hand Jaune knocked on team RWBY's dorm door, a couple of seconds later the door creaked open as he was face to face with Weiss, he smiled "hi there! No-" she immediately slammed the door in front of his face.

"H-hey! Weiss wait!" Jaune said "I need you!"

"Go away, Jaune," Weiss said "you know our promise,"

"But this is an emergency!" Jaune said.

"Yeah, and last time you said that you continued singing to me with a guitar!" Weiss said.

"But it's about Pyrrha," Jaune said "that book you gave me did something to her"

There was complete silence for a couple of seconds as the door cracked open "...what did you do?" she moaned regrettably.

"I...uh well...I can't really explain it," Jaune said "you just have to come with me, I'll show you!"

Weiss looked down and noticed the book in his hands "hey...that book...so I did give you the right copy..."

"Wha-how?" Jaune asked "you know what? It doesn't matter, you-"

Jaune was than interrupted as Weiss opened the door, he could swear he saw sparkles in her eyes "take me too her!" she demanded.

They ran to team JNPR's dorm as they stopped at their bathroom door "okay," Jaune said "now don't freak out, because when I open this door, you're going to swear you've gone insane-"

"JUST OPEN THE DOOR!" Weiss jumped, excitement and anticipation in her voice.

Jaune slid the door open as Weiss pushed him out of the way to see Pyrrha laying in the bathtub, "oh my god!" Weiss squealed with excitement.

"Weiss! I'm so glad you're here," Pyrrha said with a sigh of relief "can yo-"

"Lift up your tail for me!" Weiss demanded.

Pyrrha looked in confusion at Weiss "I-I'm sorry?"

"Just do it!" Weiss yelled.

Pyrrha listened as she lifted her red tail in front of Weiss, Weiss bent down on her knees and felt her tail in fascination "my god..." she said "you actually did it..."

"Did it?" Jaune asked behind Weiss "I'm sorry, you seem to know a lot about Pyrrha's situation"

Weiss continued touching and looking at Pyrrha's tail "you have no idea..." she said "how long...I've dreamed of making myself into a Mermaid..."

"I-wait...what?" Jaune stuttered in confusion.

"They all called me crazy, daddy, mom, Winter," Weiss said "they said that they don't exist and that I was childish for even thinking it! But you did it Jaune! You've successfully turned someone into a mermaid"

"Okay," Jaune said "slow down, lets take this back, first off what was with that book you gave me?"

Weiss ignored Jaune as she continued looking at Pyrrha's tail, Pyrrha gave Jaune an uncomfortable look as he knew she was not enjoying this "Pyrrha..." Weiss said with excitement "can you sing for me?"

"Sing?" Pyrrha asked "Weiss, I think you should answer Jaune's questions..."

"Everyone knows that mermaids have beautiful singing voices!" Weiss said "I've been singing for my whole life! Everyone falls for my voice! Do you know what I would give to have my voice be ten times more beautiful? It would be like the fairy tails I heard when I was a little girl!"

Pyrrha looked at Jaune again who gave a hopeless shrug to her, her patience was running thin.

"Okay Weiss, I'll tell you what, you answer Jaune's questions and help with getting my legs back and I'll sing for you!" Pyrrha said without thinking "heck, we'll give you the Dust crystals! You can have them all for yourself!"

Jaune shook his head fiercely at Pyrrha, it had occurred what he was saying to her, if she gave Weiss the crystals, she could give them to other people and they'd have a merpeople epidemic!

"B-but you have to only use the crystals yourself!" Pyrrha added "it has to be our secret!"

"Deal!" Weiss said as she turned to Jaune "so, ask away!"

Jaune sighed "alright," he said "let me repeat myself, what was with that book you gave me?"

"For the Dust project I was researching on how to give human's gills," Weiss said "it was the closest thing...I could do to imagine myself being a mermaid," her mind was lost in complete fantasy "I could have used it in my spare time to live my dream"

Jaune snapped his fingers in front of the dreaming Weiss "Hey...Ice Queen...wake up"

Weiss was snapped back out of her fantasy world "o-oh well...so I checked out a bunch of research books from the library, sadly I found no results from them...but you with your stupidity must of accidentally made it work...somehow"

"Okay, but...why did you give me the wrong book, surly you would have noticed later on," Jaune said.

"Jaune please," Weiss said "I've checked out multiple books, most of them failures so of course I wouldn't care about giving you one, and besides, maybe I could have blamed you if I was late on turning in that book, oh and I just shoved it in your face because frankly, I find having one flake of your skin in my dorm room disgusting"

"That's nice..." Jaune said "now...do you have any idea how to fix this?"

"It should be simple," Weiss said "all you have to do is create a reverse Dust crystal, Dust that reverses effects done on people"

"Alright," Jaune nodded "so what exactly do I need?"

"Go into our dorm and grab some empty Dust crystals," Weiss said "return them to me and we'll start making these crystals"

"Alright," Jaune nodded "I'll be right back"

"Hold up!" Weiss said as Jaune was about to shoot out of the door.

"What?" Jaune said in frustration, the waiting was killing him, he wanted to fix this problem fast.

"Don't touch anything besides those crystals in that room!" Weiss barked.

"Why would I?" Jaune said.

"How do I know you're not going to steal my clothes, or my makeup, or my shampoo?" Weiss said "ever since you wore that dress to prom everyone thinks you're sexually confused"

Jaune sighed in anger as he shook his head "yeah, I'd figure they think that" he thought. "Alright," he said "I promise, I'll be back in a jiffy" as he ran out of the room.

Jaune ran to team RWBY's dorm, not thinking of what was inside, he couldn't let his fears about dorms get to him as he slammed open the door, only to find that team RWBY's dorm was not alone.

The tent sheets on the top bunk to the left opened as Ruby peeked her head out "oh! Hi Jaune!" she smiled "did ya need something?"

"Fantastic," Jaune thought "it's not like I needed to do this quick" he put on a smile as he thought of the closest excuse "uh, hey Ruby," he said "say you don't know if Weiss has anymore empty Dust crystals for the project do you?"

Ruby nodded "I think she should," she said "but, she told me that she'd prefer me to stay away from them, she doesn't trust me with Dust"

"We'd get the return of Crater Face," Jaune thought to himself, remembering when he first met Ruby after her brief talk and accident with Weiss's Dust at the start of the school year.

"Well...I really need some," Jaune said "could you let me barrow a few?"

"Sorry Jaune, I would if I could," Ruby said "but you know how Weiss is, her Ice Queen mode would activate, say speaking of Weiss, have you seen her? Yang and Blake went to Vale to refill our snack supply and I thought she would be in here"

An idea flashed through Jaune's head "Well you see," he said "Weiss sent me to pick up the crystals, see we decided to share notes to help each other"

Ruby smiled as she opened her little tent and jumped down from her bed "oh! I see!" she said "she must feel bad for mistreating you during prom! I'm so glad that she's trying to change!"

Jaune chuckled as he said "well yeah...and more like I'm trying to make up for being an idiot to her"

Ruby nodded "I'm so proud of you both!" she said as she reached under Weiss's bed and pulled out her suitcase "now lets see here..." she said skimming through the case "it should be...uhh...hold on I forgot what they looked like"

Jaune just nodded and smiled "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed inside his head, his mind was firing up, it wouldn't be that long until Nora and Ren return from Papa's Pancakes.

"Ah!" Ruby said "I found them! I think..." she grabbed two Dust crystals and handed them over to Jaune, he inspected them to make sure she didn't make a mistake "they look exactly the same as before," he thought to himself, he nodded to Ruby "thank you so much Ruby," he said.

"No problem!" Ruby smiled "hey, do you guys need any help? I'd be happy to assist you!"

"No!" Jaune barked with no second thought, "crap," he thought to himself "uh, I mean, no thank you, we should be fine"

"Oh...okay," Ruby said softly "well, I hope you have fun! Try not to blow up anything!" as she laughed.

"heh heh," Jaune tried laughing as he walked away "I wish I had blown something up" he thought.

"Alright," Jaune said to himself putting the crystals in his pocket "now I just have to go back to Wei-" he stopped as he entered team JNPR's dorm and saw Ren and Nora in the room "can today just end?" he thought to himself.

"Jaune!" Nora squealed "you're back!"

"H-hey guys," Jaune said trying to at casual "so...what's up?"

Ren looked at him angrily, in fact this was possibly the angriest Jaune had ever seen Ren. "Well, I had to help Nora finish the Pancakeanator challenge," he gritted through his teeth "which is fine and all, I mean all we got was a iListen, but still...totally worth it!"

"O-oh well...congrats?" Jaune said as he smiled.

"Well I would take that as a compliment," Ren said "if I could use the restroom first! This door has been locked ever since we've gotten home! We heard someone singing in there but than they stopped as soon as I knocked at the door,"

"It was the most beautiful singing we've ever heard," Nora smiled "Ren almost passed out from how beautiful it was" as she laughed.

"I'm just glad you were there for me Nora," Ren said "so Jaune, I'm guessing Pyrrha's in there...if she is than what is she doing, and...you never told use she could sing,"

"Well you see..." Jaune said trying not to show sweat "Pyrrha's practicing how to sing with Weiss and she finds herself singing in the bathroom mostly, she says that she sings better in the bathroom and that hopefully she can one day sing as good as Weiss"

"Hm, well she's certainly making progress," Nora said "but hey, if Pyrrha's in there, why hasn't she answered our calls when Ren knocks? And...how long has she been in there? Seems like an awfully long time"

"Pyrrha's...really shy right now," Jaune said "she doesn't wanna show people her talent yet, she thinks she's not good enough and doesn't want any harsh critiques, and she just got in there just before you guys came...sorry"

Ren sighed "alright...I just have to remember that not all women are like Nora," he said as he looked sharply at her, as she giggled "I guess I'll just use the restrooms on the first floor..." he said.

"You gonna be alright?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah...yeah I'm good," Ren said "don't worry, I can get use to this" as he jogged out of the dorm room, now Jaune just had to deal with Nora.

"Hey Nora," Jaune said "who was on laundry duty this week?"

"Huh? I thought Pyrrha was?" Nora said.

"Ah, no you see they had a mix up of schedules this week," Jaune said "this week me and Pyrrha are in charge of cleaning the dorm while you and Ren have to do the laundry"

"They got it mixed up again?" Nora sighed "I swear ever since these new students came over to Vale for the tournament we've been getting nothing but schedule changes"

Jaune smiled as he shrugged "sorry Nora..."

"Don't worry about it," Nora said as she jumped up "I'll go wait for Ren and we'll get started, but this means I get all your syrup for breakfast tomorrow"

"Deal!" Jaune said as he moved to the side to let Nora pass through, she stopped and turned over to him "tell Pyrrha that I hope she continues singing!"

"I will!" Jaune said as he waited until Nora was gone "whew," he said as brought out the crystals from his pocket "Weiss, Pyrrha, I got the crystals!" Jaune said knocking on the bathroom door, he tried turning on the knob to find it still locked.

"Jaune..." he heard Pyrrha say "please don't scream once you enter the room," her voice was shaking, Jaune noticed.

His anxiety got worse as his panic started to rise "Pyrrha," he said "what happened? What went wrong? Where's Weiss? Weiss? Are you there? Hello?" there was no response from her.

"Let go of the doorknob Jaune," he heard Pyrrha say as he obeyed, he saw the doorknob turn slowly "she's using her semblance to open the door?" Jaune thought, a chill ran down his spine as he felt a lump in his throat, as the doorknob clicked he slid the door open.

"Pyrrha?" Jaune said with fear, he saw Pyrrha still in the bathtub, shock in her face, there was a problem though "where's Weiss?" Jaune said.

Pyrrha looked down at the floor as Jaune did the same slowly, what he saw was everything he feared, laying on the floor was Weiss, only with a white fish tail, besides her were the Crystals he and Pyrrha made, she was laughing and giggling extensively "yes!" she said "finally! My new life begins here!" as she slapped her tail repeatedly on the floor.

"Fantastic..." Jaune said.

Hey all so I'd like to say thank you for all your favorites, fallows and reviews, they really mean a lot, I want to make a story you'll all enjoy, and any sort of criticism will help improve it. I know that there's a few holes in this story and I'm going to try my best to clear them, but I'm also aiming for a lighthearted comedy and a cute story. If it's not your type of humor that's okay, just don't take it too seriously :-) Also with my way I described Dust I know I've made a few people scratch their heads, trust me guys it was a hard decision to make, but I went with it in the end. I feel like RWBY's lore can still be explored more in head canon, heck maybe in future volumes all things I pull out of my ass will be proven false and that's alright. When I first got into writing back in volume 1's hiatus they blew all of my theories out the window when volume 2 came along, but I still love the ideas I had because I know one day I might be able to use them for not just RWBY but maybe my own original content. If there's any way you think I could improve my stories please go right ahead and talk away, I love hearing other peoples ideas and opinions, thank you all!

P.S I'm so sorry for all the typos, I've been having this document open for days and whenever I write the end I get so anxious to upload that I forget to correct any spelling mistakes. Also I'm sorry if my grammar is pretty cringeworthy, hopefully I'll be able to have someone help me write these stories or I can go back to school to learn more about writing, again thank you all :-) You're all wonderful.
