Jaune was in the bullhead port, pacing back and forth. He was anxious for the arrival of his parents…Well, for the arrival of his mother. She's probably angry at him because he ran away to pursue his dream at Beacon.
With a worried tone, Jaune said, "What will I do? What do I tell her? How do I tell her that it was the only way? She wouldn't have let me go if I told her."
As Jaune was pacing back and forth, a bullhead arrived, and by the door window, he saw his mother looking at him intently. He thought, 'I am so dead! What do I do?'
When the bullhead touched down, and the doors opened, he was sure he would be scolded for doing something so stupid. However, that did not happen.
As the door opened, Jaune's mother, Joan, rushed to him, hugged him, and said, "Honey! How have you been? Why haven't you called once since coming to Beacon? I've been having to talk to Glynda to know about what is happening."
Jaune was apologetic and said, I'm sorry for not calling home. I was afraid that if I called, we would only talk about you telling me to come back home as being a Huntsman is much too dangerous, leading to us fighting. You know how much I hate it when we fight and argue."
Joan thought about it and said, "That's not too unreasonable of a deduction. But! When I heard from Glynda that you've been doing well and made a few friends, I stopped thinking of forcing you back home. She even sent me a video of you and your partner training on the rooftop. I thought my baby boy had finally grown up."
She then smirked and continued, "So, Glynda told me you've been smitten by a girl named Weiss Schnee."
Jaune sighed, "That was some time ago. I was rejected. She said that she was not interested in me."
Joan hugged her son, comforted him, and said, "There are plenty of fish in the sea. How about that partner of yours? She seems to be a terrific person."
Jaune raised an eyebrow and said, "Who? Pyrrha? Pfft! She is way out of my league."
Joan did not like seeing her son look down on himself, "You would never know unless you try."
She then sighed and continued, "I don't know what happened. When you were younger, you were confident and would shout that you would one day have a harem of awesome women. And you would go on all kinds of adventures ."
Jaune blushed and said, "I was a kid! I didn't know what I was saying. Although I still dream of it, I know it is unrealistic."
Joan giggled, "With your Jaune-ish luck? I don't think it's impossible at all. I bet there are many young ladies after your heart."
Jaune laughed as he thought his mother was joking, "Nice joke, Mom. But seriously, I'll be glad to have even a girlfriend."
Joan sighed at her son's lack of confidence. To change the subject, she said, "How about you show me your dorm? I want to see if my son lives in a decent place."
Jaune smiled and said, "Sure, follow me."
Jaune brought his parents to his team's dorm.
Once they arrived in the dorm, he said, "This is it. The dorm of JNPR."
When Joan saw the place, it was clean and tidy. It was almost as if there were no males in the room. She asked Jaune, "Are you the only guy on your team?"
Jaune nodded and said, "Yup! Lei, Nora, and Pyrrha are still in class, but they should be finishing up soon. I want to introduce you to them. You'll love them!"
Joan had this look that said, 'We'll see.'
Looking at the beds, only Jaune's bed wasn't made.
Joan said, "I see you still haven't learned to make your bed as soon as you wake up."
Jaune shook his head in disagreement, "I didn't have time to make the bed. Pyrrha, Nora, and Lei were sleeping in the bed with me, and they wouldn't wake up. It was already quite late when I convinced them to wake up. We would have been late for class if I had made the bed."
Joan was shocked at what she heard. She thought, "His entire team was sleeping on his bed? Oh, my. Oh, my. Oh, my. I wonder if they are interested in my baby boy. The only one from his team I've seen is Pyrrha. I wonder how Lei and Nora look?
For the first time, Noah spoke and said, "So, Jaune. How about I see what you've learned here at Beacon? Are you up for some roughhousing?"
Jaune smirked and said, "You're on, old man. The training room is not far from here. We can have sparred before the classes end."
Noah said, "What are you waiting for? Show us the way."
In the training room, Jaune did not change to his armor. He didn't have to. No weapon, either.
Noah said, "I see you're going on the hand-to-hand route. I'll reciprocate that."
With Jaune's Adjustment Skill, he controlled the power he was outputting. He matched his dad's strength. Jaune didn't want to hurt him.
Noah was laughing. He said, "I see you've gotten stronger! Show me what you've got, Jaune."
Jaune did a 'come at me' gesture to his father and continued their exchange. However, Jaune got the upper hand when he got a strike on his father's knee, causing him to stagger. This was enough for Jaune to take the opportunity to do a sixteen-hit combo to his thigh, ribs, abdomen, and head.
Joan was cheering for her son, but to think that Noah was being pushed to give it his all in hand-to-hand was… one need to know that Jaune was a tall boy, but Noah was towering over him. Nonetheless, Joan did not stop cheering for her son.
With a leg sweep, Noah fell, and his Aura was exhausted.
Noah got up, and he was happy to lose to his son. This is proof enough that Jaune was serious about the choice he made. "I'm glad you've gotten stronger, Jaune. Being able to best me when I'm giving it the best I can has proved to me how hard you've worked to make your dream come true. Dad would be so proud of you when he hears how far you've come."
Jaune was happy to hear that from his dad. He said, "Grandpa would probably say he knew I could do it."
Noah nodded and said, "Of course he would. He never once doubted you. And I'm sorry, Jaune, for ever doubting you. I was afraid this would just be one of the hobbies you'll end up dropping. I supported you in all those hobbies, but being a Huntsman was dangerous. You could lose your life."
Jaune touched his father's shoulder and said, "I know, Dad. I don't blame you."
Noah hugged Jaune and said, "Thanks, Jaune… Now, what was that about earlier of you sleeping in the same bed as three girls?"
Joan then butted in, "I wanted to know more about that as well!"
Jaune blushed and said, "It was an innocent thing! We all just slept in the same bed! Nothing happened!"
Joan teasingly said, "Come on, honey. Details. I need some details."
Jaune and his parents headed back to the dorms. He knew that his team would be in the room since classes had ended for the day. As he opened the door to the room, he was met with his team and RWBY.
Ruby ran to him and hugged him, saying, "Jaune! Where are you? Why weren't you in class?"
Jaune said, "If you allow me to introduce you before tackling me, you'd know why I was not in class."
Ruby blushed and let go of him, and headed toward the others.
Jaune said, "Everyone, this is my mother, Joan, and this man is my dad, Noah. They're visiting me to see how I was doing since I haven't called home since the start of the first semester."
Jaune then looked at his parents and introduced his friends, "Mom, Dad, these are my friends. The bubbly ginger in the back is Nora. The tall redhead is, of course, Pyrrha. The stoic but secretly shy girl is Lei. The short redhead is Ruby. The white-haired princess is Weiss. The tall blonde bombshell is Yang. And lastly, the mysterious one is Blake, lover of all that is smut."
Blake, out of reflex, said, "They are not smut! They are erotic literature!"
Joan was happy to see all the girls before her. A single glance is all it took to know that everyone in the room was interested in her son. She said, "My, my, my! What do we have here? Jaune, why don't you take your father to the cafeteria and get us some food? I want to speak to all these lovely girls."
Jaune did not question his mother and nodded. He and his father headed to the cafeteria and didn't look back as they would see nothing since they heard the door close behind him.
"I'll be damned, Jaune! You are one lucky fellow!" Noah laughed out loud.
Jaune was confused and said, "What are you talking about?"
Noah knew that his son was quite dense and said, "You do know all those girls are interested in you, right?"
Jaune raised an eyebrow and told him, "You're joking. I mean, one of those girls was the one that kept rejecting me."
Noah said, "I'm sure if you ask her out, she would say yes."
Jaune shook his head and said, "I can't do that. She just recently came from a bad first breakup. I don't want to take advantage of her.
Noah was proud, "That's my boy! We Arcs are honorable! We do not take advantage of those who are vulnerable."
Back in the dorm of JNPR. Joan was watching all the girls as they squirmed under her watchful eyes, which then rested on Weiss, who was visibly sweaty.
She glared at the girl and said, "So, you're the girl that stole my son's heart. I heard from Glynda ho you rejected him harshly every time he asked you out."
Under Joan's glare, Weiss was about to cry and said, "I-I'm sorry! I thought he was only after my name as the heir of the SDC! I-It was not until later during the dance that I found out that he did have genuine feelings for me! But at that time, I had a crush on a Haven student."
Joan said, "If that's the case, why does it seem like you have feelings for my son?"
Weiss rubbed the tears in her eyes and said, "It happened when Jaune helped me vent my anger on the Vacuo student I was dating. When he wailed at him, I thought, how could I have ever passed on a guy like Jaune for someone like Neptune? But it was not earlier that I knew I had genuine feelings for Jaune when he said he was unwilling to use my vulnerable state to get a date with me. My heart skipped a bit then; I realized it was not just a fleeting feeling. In my heart, I even accepted the proposal of Nora."
Joan was curious. She asked, "What proposal?"
Nora laughed and said, "I may have had the idea of making a harem for Jaune. I thought that if one of us were to get together with Jaune, there was a high chance that our friendship would be strained due to jealousy. So I thought, we can all be Jaune's girlfriends. I even research and know that harems are still a thing till now. It is still legal."
Joan asked, "So, which of you has agreed to this proposal?"
Nora, Pyrrha, Lei, Ruby, Blake, and Weiss raised their hands. Only Yang didn't raise her hand.
Nora was slightly disappointed and said, "Oh, come on, Yang!"
Yang said, "What? I haven't decided if I was going to join this harem yet. I was planning to decide after Jaune took me to the club. You all got to experience things that made you accept this harem, but nothing has happened between me and Jaune."
Nora did a thinking pose and said, "That is true. Well, why didn't you say so? If that was the case, we could have made arrangements so that you and Jaune could have your fun!"
Yang said, "Don't get your hopes up too much, Nora. I don't know if I will accept this proposal of yours. Maybe I will keep him to myself."
Nora then giggled and said, "No, you won't. Because if you do that, then you'd be making Ruby sad since you would have stolen her first love."
That struck Yang in the heart. She thought, 'Nora is right. If I make Jaune like only me, then Ruby and I might drift apart.'
Yang said, "Damn you, Nora, and your logic."
Joan was smiling. This was going great for her. If Jaune gets together with all these girls, she would expect to have at least a minimum of seven grandchildren. But something seems amiss.
Joan asked, "Something doesn't seem right. Nora, is it? You know something."
Nora whistled and said, "Jaune currently has a massive crush on Miss Goodwitch."
Joan laughed and said, "That's not a new crush. Jaune has always had a crush on his Sis Glyn since he was younger. He would stick to her whenever she was babysitting him. You do not have to worry about her. I'll speak to her about this plan of yours, Nora."
Nora's eyes sparkled, and she hugged Joan before saying, "Thank you! I was afraid that my plans would fail since there was no way I could convince Miss Goodwitch to accept my proposal."
Joan nodded at Nora and said, "Now, I want to know how you all fell in love with my son."
