Okay guys, so I decided to make another short chapter because I saw the news that Kyle Rittenhouse AKA the kenosha kid has been found not guilty on all charges. This is a win for the 2nd amendment community and all americans.
Hopefully he'll sue the shit out of the MSM for all the bullshit reporting and defamation they used against him.
But above all else, I hope he finds peace.
Oh also I know this is old news, but I just want to say this.

"Huh, you know outside of the show, mantle actually is pretty cool!" Jem said as Nala was pointing at various shiny objects floating in the sky.
Everyone was looking at the odd duo. Some faunus women were looking at him with smiles on their faces as well as flirtatious grins. He didn't know why, but he just smiled and waved back. He could remember the thirsty moms from the show who wanted Jaune when he was acting as a crossguard for kids going to school. So maybe mantle women were just easily woo'd. Either way, it was kind of weird. What was it with women? He couldn't even catch a wink back home, but now that he was finally in a relationship, all of a sudden he was noticing women looking at him left and right.
He just shrugged, it is what it is. Besides he would never cheat on Winter. Not just because he wasn't an asshole. But because even if he did, Winter could cut his last remaining nut off. And that was not fun at all.
He still wanted to have more kids one day, that one nut was his last hope.
"It's a little cold down here." Nala said as she was glad Jem made her bring a jacket.
"Yeah, so what do you want to do first?" He asked as she thought it over.
"Lets go get ice cream!" She said as Jem raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you were cold?" He asked as she giggled.
"Nobody's ever too cold for ice cream!" She said happily as Jem just smiled.
If he didn't know Nala's personality he would worry he was spoiling her too much. But honestly he was loving every minute of it.
"Sure honey, lets see if we can find one." He said as he watched her beaming smile.
They passed by multiple department stores. It was almost like walking through time square during Christmas time. Funny to think that in the future this place would be under siege. But Jem wasn't worried about that anymore. With as much information as Ironwood and the rest of them got, he was confident that the mistakes of the future wouldn't happen again. In reality, Jem was just hoping Ironwood didn't go full dictator again. Not just because he thought it was stupid, but just because he was a little biased because Ironwood was one of his favorite characters up until he turned into a total dickweed.
"Excuse me Maam!" Jem called out to a dog faunus.
"Yes?" She asked as she turned to see a human man.
But the big surprise was the little lion faunus on his shoulders.
"We're new in town, do you know where we can find an ice cream shop?" He asked as she looked stunned.
"Maam?" Did he say something wrong.
"Uhm sorry, but who is this?" She asked as Jem looked confused.
"This is my daughter Nala, say Hi Nala."
"Hi!"
"Your daughter?" The woman looked shocked.
"Yeah shes mine, But yeah you know any good ice cream shops?" He asked getting back on topic.
"Oh sorry its just...well thats new..." She seemed pleased but also kind of shocked.
"Why?" Jem wasn't sure why she was acting weird, but he also had a sneaky suspicion why.
"Oh forgive me, its just that its not often you see a human parent with a faunus child." And there it was.
He supposed he shouldn't have been surprised.
"I'm guessing its not common for human parents to adopt a faunus child?" He asked as he already knew the answer.
"No not common at all, so its kind of nice to see." She gave him a small smile as that voice in Jem's head came back.
"See! You're a mary sue Jem!" The voice screamed out at him.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'M NOT A MARY SUE!"
"OH COME ON! YOU LITERALLY JUST MET THIS GIRL AND SHE LIKES YOU ANYWAYS, FACE IT YOU'RE A MARY SUE."
"WHAT DO I GOT TO DO TO PROVE I'M NOT ONE?! DO YOU WANT ME TO STAB THAT DUDE OVER THERE? BECAUSE I'LL DO IT!"
Meanwhile the lady had no idea why Jem had been silent.
"Uhm Mister..." She snapped her fingers in front of his face as he snapped out of it.
"Oh sorry, just voices in my head." He said as she took a step back.
"Uhm, yeah, if you want the ice cream parlor is this way, I can take you there..." She seemed a little hesitant after he admitted to hearing voices.
"Sure that would be great!" He said as Nala was just humming a happy song.
"HA! SUCK IT BRAIN! SHE THINKS I'M CRAZY NOW! NO MARY SUE WOULD BE CRAZY!"
"Ugh, I hate you so much." The voice in his head said before it went silent.
And Jem was safe from his fear of being a Mary Sue once more.
Reggie
"And thats pretty much it." Ironwood said as Reggie just took a long drag of his cigarette.
"Well thats all conveniant." He felt like they just brushed over all the details.
So his grandson was in another world, dating a woman from that world, and was not currently exploring it like he was on a very long gap year? Lucky little bastard he was indeed.
"We just came back to bring his parents and his new step siblings back." Ironwood said pointing to the rat pack.
"Leave it to those two to adopt children from another world." Reggie rolled his eyes.
"And now what?" He asked as Ironwood looked at his portal device.
"Well sadly, we have to wait a few days for the device to recharge, and we'll be out of here." He said as he missed the small smirk on Reggie's eye.
"Well well well, Jem you won't be the only one who will get to enjoy an adventure in this family."
Reggie had the feeling that he was finally going to get the excitement he had been so desperately craving in life.
Melania
Melania was once again pouting in her room. She had long since run out of tears to cry. Now she just laid in her bed looking up at the ceiling. What was she going to do now? She had the day off but she needed to figure out what she was going to do with her life. She couldn't go back to being a furry. At least not in this world. But would she even be able to indulge in the community on Earth now knowing that in another world someone might be offended? She didn't know if she could do it. Knowing that some faunus who she never met nor would ever meet again might find what she was doing racist.
"What do I do?" She said to herself.
Should she do some introspective thinking?
Would she look inside herself to discover deeper meaning?
Would she take a vacation into the world to see what meaning there was in this great big ball of shit that we call life?
She both considered and rejected all those ideas.
"I need a drink..." She said as she got out a bottle of Pink Moscato and started to chug it.
If she couldn't drown her sorrows with furrydom, at least she could drown it out with alcohol.
