So here we go, I was originally going to post yesterday, but it was my 25th birthday, so I decided to celebrate. Anyways, heres a chapter to tide you over until I get more ideas.

Jem had come back from the gym to find that Winter had finished shitting her brains out in the bathroom. That being said, she still glared at Jem as he came back from his workout. Apparently the events of this morning had not left her unlike all the other stuff. Plus she was embarassed that she was carried bridal style back into the house so she could use the bathroom because Jem wouldn't let anyone take a dump in his motorhome as a common courtesey. Add that onto the fact that right after she was done using it, Jaune had gone in to use it and came out soon afterwards and complained it smelled like something died in there kind of killed Winter a little bit on the inside.

"You poisoned me."

"I did not, I simply did what you asked!"

"You should have stopped me from eating that much!" Winter wasn't mad she had eaten the bacon, it was delicious.

She was mad that she had eaten so much that it turned her insides into a picasso painting.

"Oh I'm sorry, so its my fault you couldn't resist stuffing your face?" Jem said as she glared.

"I had never had it before! How was I supposed to know it would affect me like this?"

"I LITERALLY warned you it was very greasy and you shouldn't eat too much in one sitting when you told me to go get more, but you said 'I don't get sick.' If anything you should be happy I carried you inside." Jem said as this was doing nothing to pacify her anger.

"And how do you reckon THAT?" Jem just got that shit eating grin.

"Because if it wasn't for me, your white pants would be stained brown."

SMACK

"Ha you missed me!" Jem said as he somehow dodged her slap and she got a pillow instead.

"You're lucky I can't move too much right now!" She said from her position on the couch.

"Look, I'm sorry you pretty much destroyed your temple of a body, but come on, do you really think I'm completely to blame? You did down a few more pounds than the average person." At this she went silent.

"Fine, I'm still mad at you." She said as Jem just shrugged.

"In other words, I just can't win."

"Shut up."

Again, Jem wasn't about to argue with a woman. It was like playing Chess with a pigeon, no matter what happened, they were going to shit on the board and act like they won the game. So he decided to just let it go. Either way, he was still having a pretty good day. The cougars at work decided to leave him alone. And then when he went to his Jiu Jitsu class, he tapped out one of the big motherfuckers he had been pissed at since he got there. Granted, he wasn't sure if it was luck or not, but either way he was pretty happy. You had to take those little victories every now and then.

"uuggghh." Winter felt her stomach growling in annoyance at her again.

Only for her to whip out a bottle of pepto bismol and start drinking it as if it was apple juice.

"….Is that safe to do?" Jem asked as he had never seen someone chug it.

"Shut up."

"Geez, just asking questions."

Needless to say, Jem was not expecting this. When he pictured anime characters coming to life, he never pictured he would be seeing one drinking Pepto bismol like it was beer. He also never pictured Yang and Ruby watching cartoons on the big screen tv in the living room. He also didn't expect Blake to be currently feeding some of the stray cats wandering around the property. Okay that one was a BIT odd, mostly due to the fact that he was wondering if all faunus had some stereotypical traits. Then again, it was a web series, so stereotypes were funny. So it would make sense if some faunus behaved in a way typical of whatever animal they were. After all, Blake did love her tuna and hated dogs. He shook his head of the thoughts. Going back to his original train of thought, nothing had turned out like he had expected.

Honestly, everyone seemed pretty relaxed here. Well, as relaxed anyone could be while knowing about the future. But then again, they did have a chance to change it all now, so again they couldn't complain. Still though, he expected more excitement out of this whole scenario. So far the funniest thing that had happened was when Winter had that bacon binge incident. But there was no crazy drunken antics, no weird anime logic, no big ass explosions for no reason. Granted, they did destroy his motorhome when he first got here, but that was different. That was technically their arrival, but after that, nothing crazy or exciting happened. Instead they had all been focusing on letting their hair down.

"I cant believe this….I'm actually bored with having real life characters here?" Jem couldn't believe this.

He had an oppurtunity fanboys could only dream of, and what was he doing? He was arguing with Winter over letting her eat too much, and basically letting everyone else relax in his house. Hell, Even Yang seemed content with just relaxing for a bit, and she saw herself lose an arm! They still did their morning training and such, but they did it early in the morning out in the woods, so nobody would see them. In other words, his life was still pretty much the same so far.

"Well, can't say I'm too mad about that, I mean, better this than them accidentally blowing up my motorhome again." All of a sudden his eyes went wide.

"No! No! I mean it! No blowing up my motorhome!" He said to whatever diety was in charge of his life story.

Suddenly he heard the tv going off in the room that Winter was in. Sighing he decided to go see what she was up to.

"Please tell me youre not watching anot-" Suddenly Jem froze. He saw that Winter had a box set of dvds out.

She was watching his box set of the hobbit and lord of the rings films….EXTENDED edition.

Ba bump!

He felt his heart skip a beat.

Not out of love, he just had drank a shit ton of caffeine and it was fucking up his heartbeat.

"You're watching….." He couldn't even finish his sentence.

"It looked interesting." She said.

He smiled a bit at her.

"Well, I think we finally found something we can agree on."

"Shut up. I still don't know if I'll like this or not."

"Jesus, and just like that you gave me hope and took it away." He walked out of the room.

He knew that Winter had a soft side, but he was having a hard time reaching it. But one thing was for sure, if she didn't like the hobbit or lotr movies, then chances are they would not get along that well. Then again, they weren't really getting along before, so would anything really change? He didn't even know.

"Ah screw it, I'm going out to the garage." He said as he went out to go work on his motorcycle.

It wasn't anything fancy yet, since he was still new to motorcycles, he had only bought an old Iron 883, it wasn't the biggest bike there was, but it was great for him to start on. He didn't have to buy a big bike he would have no idea how to ride right now. He just needed something to help him get comfortable with riding again and then he could buy something more suitable for long road trips.

He cracked open a spotted cow and got to work. Nothing too fancy to fix, just replacing some old rusted parts and making sure everything was clean. He wanted everything to run as smoothly as possible. It was therapeautic in a way, most people would consider working on your vehicle to be a pain in the ass, but for Jem it was relaxing in a way. It was like leveling up your knowledge in a video game, you may not enjoy the part replacement, it may be stressful and hard, but in the end, you're more knowledgable than you were before. Sure he may accidentally fuck it up, but in that case he could either learn from his mistakes and fix it before it got worse, or he could take it to someone who knew what they were doing. The point is you needed to learn things in order to grow as a person.

If you just sat around all day bitching about how things didn't change while you did nothing to improve your life, then you might as well be dead already.

"Mind if I join you?" Ruby asked as she came outside to the garage.

"Sure, I don't mind, but I thought you were watching cartoons with Yang?"

"Eh, she wanted to watch the fights, and I didn't, so I decided to find something else to do." She said as she sat down on a chair next to Jem.

He reached into his cooler and he handed her a strawberry milkeshake drink.

"Thanks!" She said as she couldn't believe he had those on hand.

"So, you seem to be taking this whole situation pretty well?" She prodded as he shrugged his shoulders.

"It is what it is, I'm just glad it was you guys that came through instead of Grimm, as cool as it would be to shoot one, I'm not sure how effective my rifle and my pistol would be on them." He joked as he wasn't sure if regular bullets would do a lot.

"You would be surprised, normal swords cut a Grimm's head off as easily as anything else." She said as she remembered seeing Jaune fight.

"True, but don't you guys also have aura that amplifies your strength?"

"Okay, fair enough."

Jem replaced another part on his motorcycle as he took another sip of spotted cow.

"Its just, this world is really different from what I'm used to." She said as Jem raised a brow.

"Well that's for sure."

"It doesn't help I saw everything that happened…." Ruby said as she remembered how she watched up to Volume 7.

"Oh?"

"Its just a lot to take in, I'm still just a student, but I saw myself become a full fledged hunttress, I saw myself part of things I never would have imagined, I even saw myself with powers you only hear about in fairy tales, and its just a lot to take in all at once you know?" She said as Jem realized something.

In the show she had been exposed to everything little by little, but now it was all coming at her at once, it had to be a lot to take in.

"Hey, just remember, you know how things turn out, you guys can do what you want to change the future, at this point don't take everything you saw at face value, because now you can take steps to avoid that future."

"But what about Salem? We can't just ignore her."

"Obviously not, you can still fight her, but it doesn't take beacon academy being destroyed in order for that to happen right?"

"…Yeah you're right, sorry its just a lot on my mind lately." She said as she looked at his motorcycle.

"You know, I could work my way around this…" She said as Jem looked skeptical.

"Uhhhhh, yeeaaahhh sorry but this is my bike and I'm not sure how I feel about that."

"Awww, come on! I used to help Yang with her bike all the time!"

"Yeah, but doesn't it also run on dust or something like that?"

"Nope, runs on plain old gas."

"Wait really?"

"Yeah, what did you think everything we have is powered by dust?"

"Well…..Yeah?"

"Nope, we still do have gasoline, but not everything is run by dust, so we still have alternative fuel sources."

"Oh okay, alright then, you can help, but don't break anything."
