Not really sure what to say, but I had a busy and rough end of the week. I'll explain more at the beginning of this entry.
Right now, here are the latest results for my question; "Who do you think should I fall in love with in 'Jared's Diary'?":
Ruby: 10
Harem: 9
Blake: 5
Yang: 5
Glynda: 4
Weiss: 4
Velvet: 3
Winter: 2
Neo: 2
Coco: 1
Amber: 1
Pyrrha: 1
Cinder: 1
Everyone else: 0
Well, we're getting there. And things are getting pretty interesting. Ruby and Harem are now neck and neck. Also, Winter, Neo, and Cinder have join the fray.
So, yah. Things are getting interesting...
Now it's time to hear some of your reviews:
impactor: 1.) I actually have stories, set in a parallel universe, where I do go to their worlds. I haven't gone to RWBY yet, but I'm planning on it. You can go check those stories out right now, if you want.
2.) I respect your gratitude.
Mattpell02: 1.) Thanks. I try to keep these stories on course as best as I can. Good thing you know I'm going on the right path.
2.) If you want those pairings in my story, then go vote in my poll on my profile.
Voltrasin: Like I said to Mattpell02, if you want those pairings in my story, then go vote in my poll on my profile.
The OC Maniac: Yah, that's a great idea! I appreciate you making a story inspired by mine. I have seen people do that to my other stories, which are now deleted, before. I do wonder what your life is like. But, if you don't want to talk about anything personal, then that's okay with me. Anyway, thanks again.
Disk (Guest): Your votes have been counted for.
KingArthur3: *chuckles* That's what you get for reading a popular story :) But, seriously, if you want Yang, or two other girls that you like to see me fall in love, then go vote in my poll on my profile. Vote up to 3 characters. And I should warn you, RUBY IS IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW.
And now, here's the next entry!
WARNING: Some of this story is based off on real events. If you see specific content that upsets you, such as the Catalonia Referendum, or the Trump White House, then I suggest you skip that part. Thank you.
1/2/2020: This entry has been revised. Expect some changes and editing.
This week was the start of the total weirdness, and what I mean by that is there were moments I wasn't ready for or moments that I felt uncomfortable.
I do feel at fault here, because most of these events were my own doing.
I was the one who started the conversation, and in return those comments led one thing to another and...
Well..., you'll see what happens.
But even then, you can't change the past.
October 7th, 2017
6:31pm
I am glad this week is over.
After RWBY decided to visit my school, I had to give them the ropes during and in between my classes; like what were the specifics of this class and that class were.
It was interesting to see them in my classes though, instead of them only living in my house. The first day was a given.
I think it's best if I told you on how things went through their second day of grade school. I did not had the same classes as the day before. I think I told them about this already. But, I'll give you a simple rundown: my classes are based on a two-day schedule.
October 3rd, 2017
7:52am
You may know my first half of the two-day schedule; first Pre-Calc, next Study Hall, then Lunch, then Government, and lastly Study Hall again.
Yah. My first half is like a breeze in the air.
My second half is much different.. and tougher. First I have Creative Writing, next Physical Education, Post Secondary, Study Hall, Lunch, and lastly Spanish. As you can see, my second half is more packed than the first half.
Speaking of Creative Writing, I was in there with Team RWBY, right now. This was the second smallest class I had; with about 7 students, excluding RWBY and I.
I had just finished introducing my friends to the students and my teacher, Mrs. Abbruzzi, when my teacher asked, "Have you girls ever wrote a story before?"
"Nope," Ruby said.
"Nu uh," Yang shakes her head.
"Never had the chance," Weiss specifically stated.
"I do read books, but I have never wrote anything," Blake explained.
"Actually, I do read books, as well," Ruby added to her last statement.
Mrs. Abbruzzi then looks at Blake and Ruby and smiles, "Well, reading books does help create ideas. Stories can be inspired by books, or better yet your own imagination can be one big story."
"Hmm, I have never really thought of that. I mean, I had imagined some things before when I was little. But I never created those things into my own image," Ruby honestly said.
"Well, that is a great start. Thinking about something can always be an idea for a story that has yet to be written," she then looks at me, and asks, "Jared, is it okay if I tell them about what you write?"
"Sure," I nodded.
"You see Jared here, has written stories online. He even sends me some of his work for me to read," Mrs. Abbruzzi said.
"Really? You never told us that," Yang looked at me, along with the rest of RWBY, and raised an eyebrow.
"...I didn't think you would be interested," I hesitantly replied back, as I nervously look down at the floor. "My stories aren't original. They're based off on cartoons, video games, and more."
"I don't see that as boring," Blake shrugged. "A story is a story."
"See? Even your friends appreciate what you write," Mrs. Abbruzzi said to me. She then refocuses on the girls, "And not only does he write stories on his own, he and the rest of my class have wrote poems."
"Poetry?" Weiss asked, curiously. "Is it okay if I read one of his?"
I was actually a bit surprised back then. I never thought that Weiss was interested in poetry. But then again, she actually does have interests that are kind of related to poetry; such as ballroom dancing, singing, and sweet melody music. I guess it would make sense for her to be interested in poetry.
"Sure. There is a folder with my name on it. Pick any one you like," I pointed towards the folders set near Abbruzzi's desk.
Weiss walks over, picks the one with my name, and opens it. She chose one of my poems randomly and looks at it. She then looks at my teacher, which she gives a nod in return and said, "Go ahead."
Weiss then begins to read:
Ready, aim, fire,
We take our shots,
It's time we open the doors,
And take ourselves out.
We battle cry as warriors,
To make ourselves known,
We all take the thunder,
Before we're turn to gold.
I'm so sorry,
For being so loud,
But this is America,
And we're heading towards the crowd.
We do whatever it takes,
To fight our own demons,
We're suckers for pain,
But we pray to our believers.
Now, there's one thing I should say,
Before I go,
I will always bet my life,
To be on top of the world...
"...Hmm, this is actually pretty good," Weiss smiles at me.
"Thank you," I smiled back.
"I think I notice something within that poem," Yang put a hand up to her chin, "What's the title?"
Weiss looks back at the poem and answers, "Imagine Dragons."
"That's what I notice!" Yang snapped her fingers, "Most of the words referenced a lot to their songs."
"Yep, that's right," I nodded proudly.
"Even with those songs, it also relates to what's happening now within the United States," Blake added.
"It actually does," I replied to Blake's statement.
Present...
6:34pm
Oh, yah.
I forgot to say, that after we all came home on their first day, while Ruby and Yang were bringing Bumblebee back from the school, Weiss approached and asked me more about our current leader of the U.S.
What I explained to her...
Well, let's just say it wasn't easy for her to digest.
(A/N: I'm saying this again, just to clarify things. What I'm about to talk about is a very sensitive topic. If you are a supporter, or you just don't want to read this, then I suggest you skip this flashback right now. This is my opinion of what I think about our current President. Thank you.)
October 2nd, 2017
6:01pm
"Jared...," I looked up and saw Weiss looking a little.. downcast. I was sitting in the kitchen, waiting for dinner, when she showed up. I never saw her like that before, until now.
I immediately straighten up in my chair. "Whoa, Weiss. Are you alright?"
"...When you said about the leader of this country earlier today, him being an entrepreneur,... it gave me this bad feeling. A feeling of deja vu. I know I said this to you, about him reminding me of my father, but... I just couldn't get this feeling out of my head. So please.. tell me," Weiss then looks directly at me and asks, "Is this man really like my father?"
I was a silent for a moment.
I did not like Jacque Schnee.
In fact, I fucking hate that son of a bitch. The way he treated Weiss was just... horrendous. I mean, not even my father would slap me like that!
If he was affected by the Flashing Light, along with Whitley, and if I ever find them... I'm going to make them pay.
"Weiss, this is a very...," I look away from her for a moment, and then look back, "...harsh topic to discuss. Are you sure you want to talk about this?"
Slowly, Weiss nodded.
"Okay," I heavily sighed.
Good thing I had my iPad with me at the moment. I then sit back down, with Weiss sitting right next to me, and typed in the 45th President of the United States on Wikipedia.
"This... is my country's current President," I showed her an analysis of the man, along with a picture of him.
"Donald... Trump," Weiss stares at the picture of the old man.
"Last year, there was an election for the presidency. He and his opponent, a woman named Hillary Clinton, were the main candidates. The election itself was so controversial, that it left many people divided. Most of that controversy came from Donald Trump himself. What is said earlier today was true. He is an entrepreneur. He has no political experience and no military experience. He is a businessman. A billionaire. And that was not even the worst of it," I paused.
"What did he do?" Weiss asked me.
I then went to YouTube and typed in a video. While I was doing that, I answered, "He said a lot of bad things during his campaign, and he kept of what he said."
I found the video I was looking for and tapped on it. "This is what he said," I ended, as the video begins to play.
The video showed Trump's worst comments in the campaign. While some of his quotes did annoyed her, there were a few certain quotes that really disturbed her.
First, there was his comment on immigrants:
"This is like... how my dad treats the faunas," Weiss said.
"The faunas on Remnant, are like immigrants on Earth. Wherever they go, they are treated poorly," I sadly said.
Second; his comment on banning Muslims:
"...What are Muslims?" Weiss asked, confused.
"Muslims are a group of people who worship a religion known as Islam. Remember when I told you and everyone else about terrorism?" I asked. She nodded, and I continued, "Well, all of the terrorists that we know right now, come from a region known as the Middle East, which is a large deserted landscape. Most of those terrorists are believed to be Muslims."
"Then why is he banning a whole religion?" Weiss asked, a bit disturbed.
"That's the sad part. Not all Muslims are terrorists. They're just innocent civilians like us, caught in the crossfire. And that's a part of what makes me sick about him," I narrowed my eyes at the last part.
Third; his comments on his opponents:
"During the campaign, he would always taunt and insult his opponents. Like for Hillary Clinton, he called her 'Crooked Hillary'," I explained.
"Why 'Crooked Hillary'?" Weiss asked.
"Let's just say that was one of the main reasons he won the election," I solemnly said.
And lastly, the worst. His comments on women:
Weiss was silent, as the leak video of Trump sexually talking about women ended.
"...Not only is he a bully and a hypocrite.. but he's also a pig," I sharply narrowed my eyes.
I can already see Jacque doing all of those things.
Fucking prick.
Suddenly, I heard Weiss let out a sniff. I quickly focus back on her and saw her slowly shaking her head, while placing a hand on her forehead.
"I was wrong about him... He's not like my father at all," She then places her hand down and faces me. I then notice the tears dripping down from her eyes. "He's worst than my father."
I can now see the emotional distress I must've put on her, and I can feel this pit of regret forming deep inside me.
"I just don't get it, though," Weiss continued, as she wrapped her arms around herself and looks down, "How can someone like him become one of the most powerful individuals in this world?"
Goddamnit me.
Honestly, I kinda sense that this was coming. I knew for a fact that Weiss wouldn't like what I just showed her, but I didn't know the video would cause such an impact on her.
Shit, I really should've thought this through.
But, there is no turning back at this point.
I think it's time I told her about Watergate.
"It's because not many people trust this government anymore," I finally answered. Weiss looks up at me with a puzzled look and silently stares at me for a few moments, in which I recognize that she expected to hear more from me. So, I continue, "When I said that our government was not doing well these days, I really meant it, but the distrust has been going on for a long time now. You see, in the past... fifty years or so, there have been many incidents where the government has lied to the people or where top officials had been caught in doing corrupt... policies. The breaking point was a scandal in the early 1970s known as Watergate. I can go into detail, but... even to this day, not all the details have been discovered. Basically, our current president at the time, Richard Nixon, was caught in a conspiracy where he was involved in a break-in at his opponent's headquarters. His intention was to steal information from his opponent, so that he can use that information to interfere with the election and win a second term. As a result of the scandal, Nixon was going to face impeachment."
"Impeachment?" Weiss questioned, just after she wiped her tears away.
"Impeachment is the indictment of high federal crimes and misdemeanors on a president. It's also a term used by Congress, which is one of the systems that define the overall government, who see the president as unfit and that he must be removed. However, Nixon's impeachment never came to fruition, because before it would happen he resigned," I explained more.
"But what does this scandal have to do with Donald Trump?" Weiss asked.
"It doesn't. Not definitely, in any way. Even though our president today and this scandal are not connected, Watergate unfortunately help brought a legacy. Before this scandal, no president has ever committed such a corrupt act, and ever since then there have been a series of scandals from other presidents and even people from Congress. To top it all off, Trump's opponent, Hillary, is the wife of a former president who had faced impeachment. Pretty much, there has been a lot of paranoia in past recent years and many Americans didn't want a politician in office... So, that's how Trump became president," I finished.
Weiss didn't reply back, as she look down again and brought her hands in front of her; her fingers intertwine.
She then let out a deep sigh, which I then notice more tears were struggling to form in her eyes.
Suddenly, by instinct, I put my right hand on her shoulder and asked, "'You okay?"
I then stopped, and noticed what I was doing. I also noticed how Weiss looked. She wasn't look despressing anymore. Instead, her mouth was open, and her tears kept falling. She looked stunned.
I quickly let go of her shoulder. "I'm sorry. I just-"
"No," Weiss interrupted, as she wiped the tears away once again. "It's okay. T-Thank you... for your concern. I'm just finding this hard to believe."
"No, I should be apologizing. I shouldn't have told you all this. I should've known this would happen. And if I did, I would have never insisted on hurting your feelings," I quickly said.
I noticed Weiss blinking and then smiled.
What did I say?
"Well,.. I'm glad your thinking about me. Not many people do that. So,... thank you," Weiss confessed.
Oh, I get it now.
"Of course," I then softly smiled.
I actually understood what she was saying. The only people, excluding RWBY and JNPR, that I know that cares about Weiss are her sister, Winter, and her butler, Klein.
Did I thought of that before?
I wasn't sure anymore.
I gotta get this out before I get more criticism for my bias.
I was angry, back then. I was angry about a lot of things actually.
But, I think my time with the RWBY characters help me get distracted from the all the political bias in the news.
Now, I don't feel angry anymore and I have learned a lot of things since then.
Politics hurt people.
Hate is damning.
Major bias does not solve anything.
We are only tearing ourselves apart, inside and out.
If we don't listen to ourselves then we are only placing ourselves in jeopardy.
But if we come together, then we can finally turn things around.
We can end the hate and bring back the love.
We can finally get things done.
I know this sounds a bit corny, but...
...what else can you do?
Present...
6:38pm
After I told her everything about Trump, she became more positive toward me, and honestly it actually feels... pleasing. It's like she showed me the lighter side of her persona.
It felt nice, to be honest.
I think she told Blake a little about what happen. Maybe, that's why she mention that after Weiss read my poem.
Anyway, back to the main flashback...
October 3rd, 2017
9:17am
"So, your homework is to write a poem about a tree?" Yang asked, trying to make sure into what happen in Creative Writing.
"Yep, that's about it," I said, as we walked towards the gym.
"...why?" Yang asked again, feeling uninterested.
"Like one man said, 'One small thing can change everything'. Like for me, writing a poem about a tree can result in many ideas," I explained.
"I think I get what your saying, but I don't," Yang said.
"That doesn't make any sense," I replied, dumbfounded.
"I know," Yang toothily grins.
"So, what's the next class you have again?" Ruby asked.
"Gym," I answered.
"What's Gym all about?" Blake asked.
"Gym is where we play sports, or we just do something that's physical," I explained.
"So, it's the closest thing to combat?" Yang guessed.
"You can say that. We don't fight each other. Like I said, we do sports," I replied.
"What is a... sport?" Weiss asked, confused.
And that's when I realized something: there's no sports on Remnant. It makes sense. There can't be any sports on Remnant, because of the Grimm. In fact, the only 'sport' they have is those combat tournaments; such as the Vytal Tournament.
I'm glad no one heard Weiss say that.
"A sport is like a game; but in a physical form. Each sport is a different game. There's sports like football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, golf, etc.," I explained.
"Why do some sport names end with the word 'ball'?" Ruby asked curiously.
"Because in those sports, and also in the other sports I mentioned, there is a 'ball'," I explained, "But, there are sports that do not involve with a 'ball'. There's sports like swimming, wrestling, boxing, track and field, and racing," I answered.
"There's a lot of sports in this world," Blake pointed out.
"It's a great big world out there," I commented, "Some of those sports are popular these days."
"How popular?" Weiss asked.
"Very popular; whether its nationwide or worldwide. In fact, there's this event, where every four years, almost every country around the world get together to compete in a grand event," I started.
"Like the Vytal Festival?" Ruby asked, trying to keep it at a level where no one else can hear.
"Yes. This event is called the Olympics. Each country participates in a large set of sports, where they compete for an Olympic medal; bronze, silver, and gold. Each Olympics is held in a different country. The most recent one was held in Brazil. The next one is in Japan," I explained more.
"When's the next one?" Yang asked.
"In 2020," I answered.
"That's in three years!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
"Well, in the meantime, you can wait till next year for other world sporting events; such as the Winter Olympics and the World Cup," I reassured the two sisters.
"There's a winter themed Olympics?" Weiss asked.
"Yes. This type of Olympics is held between the four-year period of the regular Olympics. Unlike the regular Olympics, the Winter Olympics have winter themed sports; such as Skiing, Ice Skating, Snowtubing, and even the one I mentioned before Hockey," I explained.
"And what about the World Cup?" Blake asked.
"The World Cup is nothing like the Olympics, but it is as big as the Olympics. It all centers on one sport alone: Soccer. Just like the Olympics, almost every country participates in the World Cup. I'm not sure how the World Cup became as popular as the Olympics, but it is very entertaining," I explained more.
"Why do you keep saying 'almost every country'?" Ruby asked.
"Because not every country gets to participate. Some get disqualified, while others just can't because they may be in the middle of a war," I answered.
"You know, the more I know about this world, the more complicated it gets," Blake said.
"Yah, no world is the same as the other," I said, as we arrived at my gym.
9:24am
"So,.. this is a football field?" Weiss asked, as she, her team, and I stared out at the school's football field.
We were now outside, where my gym teacher, Mr. Burns, instructed us and the rest of the students to go. For the first sports of my senior year, we were playing Football, Soccer, and Archery.
Why Archery?
Well, that's how every year goes.
"Yep, and see the red and white ring around the field?" I pointed towards the track course, as we walked down the bleachers, "That's for Track and Field."
"I guess every school around here does sports?" Yang asked.
"That's right," I answered.
"Alright, everyone. You already know your options. On your left, you can play soccer. On your right, you can play football. Or you can just walk the track," Mr. Burns announced. He then looks at RWBY, "You four can do whatever you want. Whether it's football, soccer, track, or you can do Archery with Mrs. Jane."
Yah, Archery was separate from all the other sports. While students can do the sports on the field, Archery was a limited spot.
"Wait, why are they allowed to do archery, and we don't?" Chris, one of the students in my gym class, asked.
"Because this may be their only time to get to do this, since they're homeschooled," Mr. Burns answered. "Alright kids, hop to it! We don't got all day!"
As he said that, all the students went to their own little thing; with some doing football, some doing soccer, and a few starting to walk around the track.
"So, Jared, what do you do normally?" Ruby asked.
"I sometimes play football, but most of time I just walk on the track," I answered.
"Why would you prefer walking more over football?" Blake raised an eyebrow.
"Becuase, whenever students play the game, they don't follow the rules. It's unfair to others," I explained.
"I don't like the sound of that," Weiss lowered her eyebrows and crossed her arms.
"I know. Which is why Mr. Burns has to 'babysit' them," I noted, as I saw Mr. Burns walking towards the football players... again.
"That was quick," Yang said, as she also noticed Mr. Burns.
"Eh, he's just being cautious," I said. "I suggest you girls either watch what they're doing and learn the basics, or you can just walk around the track with me."
"I'll go watch what they're doing," Yang said, as she and Ruby walked over to the football and soccer players.
"I'll go see what Archery is about," Weiss said, as she began walking towards where Mrs. Jane was; along with Blake following.
"...I guess I'll visit you girls from time to time and check how your doing," I began walking around the world.
I think they've earn enough of my trust for them to be alone outside my house.
9:52am
"Again, that was quick," Yang said, as we were all back inside the gym.
"Yah, we don't really get that much time to play outside, since some of the students have to change back into their regular clothes for the day," I explained once again. Which sucks, because I barely had the chance to visit RWBY. "So, what do you girls think about sports so far?"
"Archery seems interesting. It's basically target practice when you use a bow and arrow as a weapon," Weiss smiled a bit.
"Even though I don't use a bow and arrow, it does seem unique to use it for a sport. I think Pyrrha would enjoy this, as well," Blake said.
"Did you two at least try to participate?" I asked.
"I did. I wasn't really good at it, but I was able to get some perfect shots," Blake smiled softly.
"Well, that's good to hear," I then look at Ruby and Yang, "What about you two?"
"To be honest, I didn't feel excited. Like for football, it was just throwing this cone shaped ball and you just run. And for soccer, it was just kicking the ball," Yang explained.
"Why are those sports so popular, again?" Ruby was confused.
"Once you watch a game that is done by professional players, then you'll get the gist of it," I answered.
"Guess we'll have to wait, till we get back to your place," Yang said.
beep!
As on cue, the bell rang, and all the students began walking out of the gym and towards their next class.
"Well, this isn't going to be the only sports my class plays," I said, as we walked through the hallways, "Throughout the year, we get to play other sports."
"Like the ones you mention?" Ruby asked.
"Yep, and also a few other sports I haven't mention yet; like Tennis, Dodgeball, Kickball, and Quidditch," I answered.
"Quidditch?" RWBY asked.
"It's basically a sport we recreated from another sport from a book series," I explained.
"...So you do have a combat tournament in this world?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, no. Nothing like that... not yet, at least," I added the last part.
Imagine all the other sports Earth had recreated from other fictional series; besides Harry Potter. I don't want to get into them now.
"So your next class is Post Secondary, right?" Blake asked.
"Yes, it's kinda boring, to be honest. But it helps me get ready for the outside world after I graduate high school," I said.
"Well, at least it's helpful," Ruby shrugged.
"Actually, I do have a question," I looked at them, "How do you four learn how to be independent; in a good way?" I had a feeling who taught them. Though, I was still curious.
"Basically, our dad," Yang said, in addition to Ruby nodding.
"My parents barely got the chance to teach me. So, I got it from my butler and my sister," Weiss explained. I understood why Whitley wasn't part of it, becuase he was younger than her.
"I got half of it from my parents. For the other half, it was all by myself," Blake answered.
"What about your parents? Did they taught you some things?" Ruby asked.
"They did. They taught me how to drive, how to cook a couple of things, how to take the trash, and how to clean the gutters. There were other things they tried to teach me, but I never did it for myself," I said.
"Like what?" Weiss asked.
"Like using the washing machine and driving a tractor trailer," I said.
"That last one sounds a bit extreme," Yang lowered her eyebrows a bit.
"It was," I nodded. Memories of me driving that huge thing... never doing that again.
We had just arrived to my Post Secondary class; taught by two teachers, Mrs. Willingham and Mrs. Smith. This was actually the class with the lowest number of students; with only 2 students. This includes me and someone that I know very well...
"Hey, Jared," Kevin greeted.
"Hey, Kevin," I said, as RWBY and I said around the table with him, "You may have already know Rachel, Wilda, Brooke, and Yasmine."
"Yes, I saw them yesterday. Hello," Kevin greeted the girls.
"Hello," RWBY greeted back.
"I'm guessing you have a lot of questions to ask them, Kevin?" I asked.
"Yes, I do. I have a lot of questions," Kevin answered politely. He then looked back at RWBY. "What do you girls like?"
"I like cookies, pets, games, and my friends," Ruby said. She would've also said weapons, but I think she knew that would have raised some suspicion.
"I like singing, dancing, music, and peace and quiet," Weiss answered.
"I like tea, books, cats, and world peace," Blake said. I think cats must be her newest interest, becuase of Nutmeg.
"I like video games, action, my sister Rachel, and fun activities," Yang said.
"What do you don't like?" Kevin asked.
"Criminals and blood," Ruby cringed.
"Corruption," Weiss simply said.
"Racial violence and dogs," Blake said.
"Anyone who hurts my family and friends... and people who cut my hair," Yang narrowed her eyes on the last part.
"Okay. What do you think of living with Jared?" Kevin asked again.
"I think you already asked that yesterday," Weiss raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, that question was directly for me," I pointed out. Even though Kevin was being nice yesterday, that other student made things weird for me.
I don't know why, but I have a feeling something similar like that might happen again.
"Oh, well things have been going well so far. His family seems nice, and I really like his pets too," Weiss smiled.
"Same here. I like what he has in his house. It's very interesting for us to get to see things that we don't normally see," Ruby smiled, as well.
"The books that they have talk a lot about history, and him and his family are very thoughtful for us," Blake smiled softly.
"The games he has are very enjoyable to play. I still also got some new things to try," Yang suddenly smirked.
I frowned.
Oh, god.
"Please, don't talk about this in front of Kevin," I said.
"Why? What happen?" Kevin asked me.
"It hasn't happen yet. But, it's something that you might not be comfortable with," I answered.
"Really!? Heck no!" Kevin shouted. That's his catchphrase; apparently.
Present...
6:51pm
I'm guessing your now curious as to what happen; that involved with Yang.
.
.
.
Well, damnit.
This actually happen yesterday...
October 6th, 2017
4:59pm
I was looking at my computer, focusing on stories on whether there were sightings of other RWBY characters. And there was still nothing about it!
Which actually got me thinking...
What if they were in hiding? What if they knew what was going on around them, and that they had to hide somewhere so that they cannot be seen? I mean, it's only now been around a month since the Flashing Light incident. So, they gotta be hiding somewhere. But where, though? That's the question I am trying to answer.
But, suddenly, all my thoughts were clouded when two globes of flesh laid on top of my head and covered my eyes.
"YYYEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIII!"
As I gave off that screeching squeal, I instantly jumped out of my chair and rushed away from my computer desk. I then stopped in the middle of my doorway and swiftly turned around.
What I found, or who I found, was Yang casually kicking her legs, her hands behind her back, and her head turned to a slight left from my direction; all the while whistling a blissful tune.
...It was a good thing my parents, nor my sister, were up here with me, otherwise this sudden incident would've been much worse.
But still...
"Wh-wh-wh-what are you doing!?" I shouted, not even bothering as to why she was here. I can already feel the heat quickly spreading onto my cheeks.
"Nothing~," Yang answered in an innocent tone, as if she didn't do anything wrong.
Not if I can help it! :(
"Oh, c'mon! Don't give me that! We both know what you did!" I glared at her, while menacingly pointing my finger toward her.
The girl then looks at me and gave me a mischievous grin, "Well, I see no reason in not doing it. I mean, don't all boys li-"
I instantly clouded her out, as I knew what she was going to say next.
What I told her that she could tease me at home, I never meant it to go so far such as this.
Maybe my comment was so vague that she thought she can do anything she wants toward-
Nope.
I should know better.
Yang is a good girl.
But I don't think she would go that far. My parents would kill me if that happen.
Besides, RWBY is not that much of a mature show.
Still...
Stupid pressure getting the best of me!
GODDAMNIT!
Okay, okay, keep it together...
There is still one thing left for you to do, Jared.
I think it's very appropriate for me to do so, too.
"I'm gonna take a shower," I calmly stated out loud.
I then turned around once more, and head toward the bathroom next to me.
Present...
6:57pm
That was one of the weirdest moments I have ever had in my lifetime.
If I ever do fall in love with any female RWBY character, then it's going to be weird when we get to those stages of our relationship.
And I am not ready.
At all.
So far, nothing like that has happened again. So, I guess maybe Yang learned her lesson.
Or not... :(
Anyway, back on RWBY's second day of grade school. Kevin had asked a couple of more questions before Mrs. Willingham and Mrs. Smith came in. They weren't that important. They were simple; such as if they knew or met certain people from England.
He's full of curiosity. :)
What we learn in Post Secondary was good communication; like for example, if we were in the middle of a shipwreck, we would have to discuss three things we need to get to survive in our lifeboat. That was actually a factor for that day's class.
After that, I had two periods of study hall and then lunch. Nothing interesting happen, since RWBY had experienced with this beforehand.
After lunch, RWBY experienced with the most interesting class of the day:
Spanish.
October 3rd, 2017
1:03pm
"I really can't understand a word they're saying," Ruby whispered, as we listened to my Spanish teacher, Mr. Sullivan, speaking the said language, along with other students responding in the same language.
"Yah, people, who are fluent to the Spanish language, talk really fast," I whispered back. Even my Abuelita talks like that, whenever she fully speaks Spanish.
"Okay, class," Mr. Sullivan finally speaks in English, "We have been talking about this for a whole week now. And last Sunday, it finally happen." Mr. Sullivan walks over to a map of Spain on the wall next to the door. He then pointed at the northeast region of the country. "Catalonia has done their referendum."
If you don't know much about what happen, then Blake will give you the rundown.
"I think I heard about this, last Sunday," Blake said.
"Brooke; one of Jared's pen pals. Would it be okay if you were tell us what happen?" Mr. Sullivan asked.
"Sure. Last Sunday, there was police violence in the Catalonia region. The Spanish government was trying to prevent their people from voting to separate from the mainland and form their own country. And as a result, most people vote in favor," Blake explained.
"That's exactly right," Mr. Sullivan agreed.
And she was. Blake had seen the news about the Catalonia referendum on CNN. Ever since I talk to RWBY and JNPR about the negative aspects of Earth, Blake had watch the news more than before. In fact, Weiss had join her after I told her all about Donald Trump. I guess they both want to get to know more about the world than the others.
Present...
7:00pm
So, that's it.
That was Team RWBY's first two days of grade school. From what I can see, they enjoyed it very much. Grade school was much different than a Huntsman academy. Either way, it was very interesting to see them experiencing my classes.
But, that was not the end of it.
When we got back home from their second day, JNPR started asking if it's okay for them to go to my high school with me. I was not surprised at all actually. In fact, I knew I saw this coming. They were most likely asking becuase I think RWBY must've told them what grade school was like and how they enjoyed it.
So, again, I wasn't surprised.
As a result, I accepted their request and, for the rest day, I had to think up of fake identities for them to have for tomorrow.
And boy, was it difficult to introduce them to Mrs. Schoonmaker.
October 4th, 2017
9:50am
"Everyone, these are my other pen pals. And yes, I have eight pen pals living in my house. Crazy right?" I sarcastically said in the end.
Me and Team JNPR were now standing in front of my Pre-Calc classroom. Each member of the team was wearing a different attire; just like Team RWBY had done.
Jaune was wearing a white t-shirt with a black outlining, blue and white striped shorts, and white sneakers.
Pyrrha was the most interesting. She was wearing a dark red sweater, white colored jeans, and white heels. She had a tanned purse strapped around her. She also was wearing a pair of one of my old glasses. Her hair was not tied up, so it was let loose; like Weiss did with hers.
Ren was wearing a light and dark green wool shirt, regular blue jeans, and white and black sneakers. We had to dye the pink part of his hair black, so we wouldn't raise any suspicion within the school.
Nora was wearing a pink v-neck shirt, white tight jeans, and black shoes. Basically the colors of her shirt and pants were inverted.
"So, the boy with the blonde hair is named Jeremy Arson," I announced. Jaune greeted by waving and showing a smile towards the class.
"The girl with the red hair is named Pandora Nesin," I announced. Pyrrha greeted by doing the same thing Jaune did. Honestly, I was glad she didn't say her greeting catchphrase. If she did, that day would've been a bit different.
"The boy with the black hair is named Lucas Reed," I announced. I almost forgot Ren's first name is not 'Ren' at all. It's Lie. So, I'm glad I didn't tongue twist there. Ren greeted by bowing towards the class.
"And the girl with the orange hair is named Naomi Violet," I finished. Nora greeted cheerfully smiling and waving at the class, while giggling happily.
"Well, I am proud to welcome them to my classroom; and so are you, Jared," Mrs. Schoonmaker smiled. "You four can sit wherever you want. Whether it's in the back, or in the front, I don't mind."
Thankfully, we barely had enough desks for all four to sit in. So, with no second to spare, JNPR and I walked towards our seats, and the class continued on after that.
Present...
7:03pm
And so began JNPR's two days in grade school. I'm not gonna go over how the two days went down specifically, since I don't want to bore your minds. So, I'm just gonna give you a simple rundown:
For Math, Mrs. Schoonmaker went over the two reviews for the test on Friday; and it was difficult that day. Jaune got bored and he slowly fell asleep in class. Pyrrha was interested by the Algebraic expressions and mathematics; along with Ren as well. Nora didn't really pay attention and just spaced out.
For Government, we did a quiz on vocabulary; thank god, they didn't have to take it. Jaune was kinda interested in how our government works. Pyrrha was too and asked a lot of questions. Ren quietly sat and listen to the information. Nora was actually a bit disturbed by the fact that women don't get full equal treatment, like men do; Pyrrha felt the same way.
For Creative Writing, we talked about harsh and soft tones of poetry. Jaune felt relaxed by how the poems were read by the other students and I. Pyrrha was also comfortable, and felt proud on how I was doing my writing. Ren liked this class the most; he felt the class was peaceful, especially by the topic we did that day. Nora did enjoyed the class as well; mostly by the harsh tones of poetry.
For Gym, it was the same like last time. Jaune tried to play soccer, and he was actually pretty good on his first try. As I predicted, Pyrrha did went over to try Archery; and she was even better than Weiss and Blake combined. Ren quietly watch over to see what the sports were like. Nora actually almost did played football, but Ren stopped her from doing any damage.
For Post Secondary, we continued where we left off last time. Every member of JNPR was intrigued by the information me and Kevin were learning, especially Ren and Nora becuase... well, you know. And also, like last time, Kevin asked them a lot of questions.
And lastly, Spanish. We talked about how to say adjectives in Spanish. Like RWBY, JNPR did not understood what Mr. Sullivan, and some of the other students, were saying. Jaune tried to speak in Spanish once, but he failed miserably.
So, that's how JNPR's two days in grade school were. I left out Study Hall and Lunch, because nothing important happen there.
In the end, everyone enjoyed my school.
Now, there's one more important thing I need to talk about.
Remember when I mention that once Yang finds a video of Goku going Super Saiyan, I will tell RWBY and JNPR all about their alludes?
Well, that was actually what RWBY was talking about, while I was at my meetings on their first day.
October 5th, 2017
4:09pm
This actually happen on the one month anniversary of their arrival. I would say that's a milestone.
Anyway, I was walking down the stairs, when I noticed Yang, Nora, and Pyrrha heading towards my direction. They then stopped in their tracks, when they noticed me.
"Oh, perfect timing," Yang said.
"I'm guessing you three want to ask me something?" I asked.
"Uh huh," Nora nodded.
"Alright, shoot," I said, as I reached the lower level of my house.
"Do you remember asking us what we were talking about last Monday?" Yang asked.
"Yes," I nodded.
"And do you remember when you told me the similarities between me and Wonder Woman?" Pyrrha asked, too.
And right then and there, I realized what they were talking about. "...I'm guessing one of you saw something that sparked your interest?" I then asked.
"Actually, it was both me and Yang," Nora proclaimed.
"Them let me guess again," I pointed at Yang, "You watched a video of a saiyan named Goku going Super Saiyan," I then pointed at Nora, "And you watched a video of a man, who is the god of thunder, named Thor."
.
.
.
They all blinked.
"...How did you...?" Yang said, surprised by my guessing.
"I love Dragon Ball and Marvel," I simply put out. Indeed, I do. :)
"Huh, so that's where he's from," Nora muttered.
"And now you two want to know if you're related to these people?" I asked yet again.
"...That's right?" Yang shrugged.
I wasn't surprised by this. I mean, I thought about this a couple of times before. So, I knew this was gonna happen. "Alright," I sighed, "Guess everyone has to know eventually," I then focused on the trio, "Gather the rest of your firends. They need to hear this."
Well, this is gonna be fun.
4:21pm
"So, I'm just gonna let it all out and say it," I began, as I look at RWBY and JNPR. We were in the living room this time. I chose this area, because I thought talking about this topic here would be more comfortable. I was standing in front of the TV, while RWBY was sitting on the couch, and JNPR was standing behind it. Anyway, I continued, "I may have left out some information about yourselves."
Most of them stood still, except Ren and Jaune, who didn't know what was about to happen. "...What are you talking about?" Jaune hesitantly asked.
"Your character itself is based off on mythical lore and other fictional characters," I explained.
"Are you serious?" Ren said, a bit shocked by the revelations.
"Yep, all of you are, including everyone you know and don't know. But, I am going to say this right now than later: you guys are not related to these characters," I said. "Lets start off with you, Ruby."
"Before you say anything Jared, I need to ask. Are these characters based on us entirely or just partly?" Ruby asked.
"Both, actually," I answered. "Lets begin on what's based on you entirely. Your character, Ruby, is based off on a fairy tale character named Little Red Riding Hood. Actually, now that I think about it, your normal attire is an imagery to how Little Red Riding Hood looks."
"So that's why Torchwick always calls me 'Little Red'," Ruby figured. I knew she was gonna say that.
"Precisely. There are characters that are based off on your Semblance; speed. There's characters like The Flash from DC Comics, Quicksilver from Marvel Comics, and Sonic the Hedgehog," I said.
"I had a feeling there was something odd about him," Ruby said, which I'm guessing she was remembering about playing as him in Super Smash Bros.
I then looked at Weiss, "Weiss Schnee, your character entirely is based on another fairy tale; Snow White."
"Who is Snow White?" Weiss asked.
"Snow White is a princess; known to be 'the fairest of them all', which means she is the most beautiful. However, there was someone who was jealous of her. If you want to know the full story, then go watch the Disney movie named 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'," I explained.
"I'll go do that later," Weiss proudly smiled.
"Now, there is one more character that is based off on you, which you may probably already know," I said.
"...It's Elsa, isn't it?" Weiss frowned a bit.
"Yep. You two actually almost have the same backstory. You both were kept in isolation through most of your childhood, you both can sing very well, you both wear winter themed clothing, and you both formerly lived in an similar structure; yours being Beacon Academy, and hers being an ice castle that she made," I explained.
"...Wow, what a coincidence," Weiss said, shocked.
"And also, your full name stands for 'White Snow' in German," I added.
Weiss nods with approval.
I then look at Blake. "Blake Belladonna; your character is based off on a woman named Belle; a character from the fairy tale called 'Beauty and the Beast'."
"What's it about?" Blake asked.
"It's basically about Belle falling in love with a man who's been cursed into a 'beast'," I explained.
"That sounds like a great story," Blake softly smiles.
"It is. If you want to know more, watch the movie," I informed her.
"I will," Blake nods.
I then look at Yang, "Yang Xiao Long; your character is based off on a girl named Goldilocks; a character from the fairy tale called 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'."
"Does this girl have blonde hair like mine?" Yang asked.
"Yep. And she too is just as curious as you," I said. "Now, I know you may already know this, but I'm gonna tell everyone about this. Your semblance, which is increased strength, and the way how your hair turns golden whenever it is activated, is actually based on the Super Saiyan transformation used by Goku and other characters from the Dragon Ball franchise."
"That's pretty neat. This Dragon Ball franchise you keep saying is making me really curious," Yang smiled.
"You are actually one of many inspirations of the Super Saiyan transformation. If you want to know more about it, particularly the main character Son Goku, then I suggest you go watch 'Dragon Ball', 'Dragon Ball Z', and 'Dragon Ball Super'," I smiled back. I didn't say Dragon Ball GT, becuase it's not as good as the others.
"Is there anything else about it?" Yang asked.
"There is one more thing. Your full name stands for 'little sun dragon' in Chinese," I said.
"Are all of us based on fairy tale characters?" Jaune asked.
"Almost everybody. You, Jaune Arc, are actually based off on a real person. A woman named Joan of Arc," I answered.
"I'm based off on a woman?" Jaune said, surprised.
"Yes. Joan was considered a saint, a religious being recognized by the people. She also has a similar backstory like yours. She disguised herself as a man to fight in a war, known as the 'Hundred Year's War'. It's a slight imagery of you faking your transcripts to get to Beacon," I explained.
"Huh, didn't see that coming," Jaune softly said.
I then look at Pyrrha. "I know you already know who you are based off on. But, Pyrrha here, is based off on a mythical Greek make warrior named Achilles."
"I actually do look a lot like him," Pyrrha said.
"Not only that, but she is also based off on two goddesses. One of them bears the same name as her, and the other is based off on her last name; a goddess named Nike," I said.
"...This I did not know about," Pyrrha blinked.
"I'd look that up, recently. But anyway, there's also two more characters that were inspired by her; Wonder Woman from DC Comics and Kratos from the God of Waf series," I said.
"Wow, Pyrrha. There's really a lot of people based off on you," Jaune complimented. Pyrrha smiled, with a small blush on her cheeks.
I then look at Ren, "Lie Ren; your character is based off on a real legendary Chinese warrior named Hua Mulan. Unlike you, she also disguised herself as a man to fight for her family."
"So, I'm also based off on a woman. Cool," Ren smiled.
"Also, your name is translated into two languages. In Chinese, your name stands for 'Huntsman'. In Japanese, it's 'Lotus'," I explained.
"Interesting," Ren nods.
I then look at Nora, "Nora Valkyrie; you already know this, but your character is based off on the Norse God of Thunder; Thor."
"I thought you said he's from Marvel Comics," Nora raised an eyebrow and tilted her head.
"He is. But, he's also a Norse God. Also, your name is based off on two things. Your first name is based off on a flower; the Nora Barlow Columbine flower," I said.
"Is it pink?" Nora grinned.
"Yes."
"Cool."
"Also, your last name is based off on female Norse warriors; known as the Valkyrie," I said.
"That's awesome!" Nora shouted.
"And that concludes all of your alludes," I announced.
"You said that our friends have this, as well. Can you tell us what they are?" Blake asked.
"Of course, but this may take a while," I said, with a bit of concern.
"I think we're up for it," Ruby smiled.
"Okay," I began, "Lets start off with your families, then we can go through the other Huntsman teams, the teachers, and then finally your enemies." I then look back at Ruby and Yang. "Your father's first name stands for 'Sun' in Chinese." I look directly at Ruby. "Ruby, your mother's first name is based on the season of Summer. Her name is also based off on a poem called 'The Last Rose of Summer'. Her gravestone actually has a line from the poem."
"Thus kindly I scatter," Ruby remembered.
"Exactly," I said.
I then looked at Yang silently. I wasn't sure if she would be mad for me mentioning her mother. But, as decided to move on, Yang nodded in understanding. "It's okay. Go for it."
"Your mother, Raven, is actually based off on a bird, along with you and your sister's Uncle," I explained.
"That's it?" Yang said. I nod. She then lowers her eyebrows a bit, and then shrugged it off.
I then look back at Weiss, "Weiss; your sister's name is based off on the season of Winter. Your brother's first name stands for 'white meadow'. Your father is based off on another character of the Snow White fairy tale; the Evil Queen. And your butler is also based off on a group of characters from the same fairy tale; the Seven Dwarfs."
"Fair enough," Weiss said, most likely mentioning her father.
I then look back at Blake, "Blake; your father is based off on a black panther named Bagheera; from a story called 'The Jungle Book'. And your mother is based off on the Hindu goddess of the same name. Also, your mother's name stands for 'black' in Sanskrit."
I then look at JNPR and said, "I don't know much about your parents, so I can't tell you what their allusions are."
They nodded in understand.
"Now, lets move on with the other Huntsman teams. Team CFVY; Coco's name is derived from a fashion designer named Coco Chanel, Velvet's name is derived from a story called 'The Velveteen Rabbit', there's nothing about Fox, and Yatsuhashi's name is based on a Japanese treat," I explained.
"Sounds sweet," Ruby smiled.
"Team SSSN is based off on a South Korean band named 'Big Bang'. Sun's name is based on a character with the same name in a story called 'Journey to the West', Scarlet is based on the character Peter Pan in 'Peter Pan in Scarlet', Sage is based on a band member of 'Big Bang', and Neptune's name is based off on the God of the Seas," I explained.
"Sun's and Neptune's allusions sound pretty cool," Yang smiled.
"I'm also going to count Penny in this. She is based off on a fairy tale character named Pinocchio; a puppet who dreams to be a real boy," I said. "Now lets move on to the teachers. Professor Port is based on the the book 'Peter and the Wolf', Oobleck's name is based off on the book 'Bartholomew and the Oobleck', Glynda is based off on the character of the same name in the story 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'."
"I'm guessing Ozpin is based on the title character?" Ren asked.
"Yes. I'm also going to count in Ironwood. He is based off a forest in Norse mythology called Járnviør. He is also based on the Tin Man in 'Wizard of Oz'," I explained.
"Do you really have to talk about the villains?" Blake asked.
"If it makes you guys feel better, I'll only talk about Roman and Neo," I said.
"Neo?" RWBY and JNPR said all at once. They must be confused. It's a good thing they arrived here after RWBY met Neo, otherwise things would've been more awkward.
"Yang, do you remember that small girl you fought on the train, right before the Breach? That's Neo," I asked her.
"...Okay," Yang hesitantly said, narrowing her eyes at the memory.
As for that, I told them about Roman and Neo's alludes.
Present...
7:22pm
So, yah. I finally got to tell them about their and almost everyone else's alludes. I didn't say anything about Cinder's and Salem's group or the White Fang, because either they didn't know their true motives or they didn't know them at all.
Actually, now that I think about it, I had been wondering about their alludes more. And it gave me this very bad feeling. What if the events of their alludes were connected to themselves?
Think about for a minute.
Pyrrha's and Achilles' deaths were caused by the exact same thing.
Adam is considered the 'bears' in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", since he sliced Yang's right arm off.
If my theory is correct, then this may be the scratch of the surface.
Look at Mistral. It looks almost exactly like Asgard. So, if there was a great battle or a catastrophic event like Ragnarök... then Nora can be killed in Volume 5.
Most of the character's alludes stories have all led to their deaths or towards a very dark moment!
So, Jaune maybe burned at the stake.
Weiss might go into a coma because of her father.
Ruby might have an emotional breakdown because of wolfs or maybe Cinder herself.
Etcetera!
And all the other characters may suffer or die in the future!
But, this is just a theory. I really, in my highest beliefs, hope that this theory does not come true.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I got to go wait for a one-hour special of Dragon Ball Super.
As I said before, this week was the start of the total weirdness.
There will be more events where I'll feel uncomfortable or expect something out of the ordinary.
But surprisingly, I would eventually embrace the weirdness.
Actually, I couldn't watch it that day, because THE SERVERS CRASHED!
But, I did watch it the next day and Oh My GOD! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!
Anyway, what do you guys think? Is my theory correct, or debunked? And do you think some scenes here were too extreme for a T-rated story? If so, leave a review or PM.
So, I hope you guys like this entry. Leave a review if you did!
Make sure to go vote on my poll on my profile; so you can answer "Which girl do you think should I fall in love with in 'Jared's Diary'?". It is a multi-select; where you can choose up to 3 women. Go vote now, and I'll see what you got.
And, I hope to see you all on the next entry of my diary!
See ya later, everyone!
