Anyways, thanks so much for your patience. I hope you enjoy this one more than the last one, and please give me any positive feedback as well as the constructive criticism! This is Broken Moon Reborn, by Skye Air! Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1 – Pictures tell a Thousand Words

Jaune had a slight dilemma.

They were sitting in the back of the classroom, listening to a talk about the Creatures of Grimm. Professor Port was once again lecturing in the front… well, he was more story-telling than teaching, but no one in the class really cared for education or knowledge… Except for three people…

Weiss: the ice princess, who'd rejected him so many times it was enough to shatter all the hearts in the school. Well, that's what Jaune thought. Weiss, on the other hand, thought that his singing voice was enough to shatter all the ears in the school.

Blake: the shy, cat Faunus who actually seemed rather quiet and subdued today, instead of the usual active participation in classes… Oh, right! She's reading Ninjas of Love again. That explains everything.

And finally… Pyrrha. The dilemma.

Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha, PYRRHA, PYRRHA, PYRRRRRRHHHHAAAA!

It wasn't his fault that he was head over heels for her. It wasn't his fault that she was smart, beautiful, kind, polite, strong, brave, caring, helpful, loveable… IT WASN'T HIS FAULT SHE WAS PYRRHA!

He just couldn't get her off his mind. Everywhere he went, he would be reminded. Heck, even if he saw the colour red, he would be reminded of her!

That's how bad it is! That's how mad he is!

Jaune moaned internally, fiddling with the paper in front of him. He picked up a pencil and began twirling it around, catching it on the tips of his fingers. He then started to doodle while Professor Port continued on into his lec-… story.

What was the worse thing about Pyrrha? She was just too good for him. Everyone thought of him as the loveable goof, the weak idiot who messes up… Even if he confessed, he probably would be rejected… Hardcore. That was the sort of person Pyrrha was. Hardcore.

He sighed. Whoops! That was external. Damn it!

"Jaune?" the beautiful voice whispered in concern, as Professor Port ranted on, "Are you okay?"

Jaune felt a lump in his throat, and for a moment he just couldn't talk. He finally resorted to a simple nod and a nervous smile. She returned a genuine smile with great ease, before easing back into her chair. Before she did though, she noticed something.

"Um… Jaune?"

"Eh… erm, wha- huh?"

"What's that?" she politely asked, pointing to the paper in front of Jaune. He glanced at it, and gaped at it.

HOW THE HELL…

It was a beautiful portrait of the amazon warrior. Her hair, her fringe, her head accessory, her emerald eyes, her perfect face, were all incorporated into one, beautiful frame, on a scrap piece of paper taken from a book. Jaune's book.

Jaune's gape grew wider. How did you draw like that? Oh crap, you're so screwed…

Pyrrha blushed and her cheeks turned the same colour as her hair. "Jaune?"

"… er?"

"Can I keep it?"

"Wha-… Sure…"

She took the paper from his desk and studied the lead pencil markings that the drawing consisted of. She smiled nervously and folded it, before tucking it inside her folder.

Hell no was she going to throw that away!

She knew what she would do with it once she was alone. She'd take it out, and adorn the paper with kisses and love hearts that were so unlike the strong warrior everyone else saw on the outside. She had a soft spot for him.

She sighed, looking at him as he wiped his sweaty bro and relaxed back onto his seat. Would he never get the hint? Hell, she had a crush on her leader!

But the dense-headed goof never realised! Of course he didn't! He was head over heels for Weiss. Oh yes, she had seen him, asking for advice on girls, trying to ask her on a date, trying to ask her to the dance, trying to be romantic…

Oh Jaune, she thought, sighing internally, You wouldn't have to try so hard if it was me.

IF it was you, Pyrrha, the small voice in her head replied, But it isn't. And you know that.

She ignored that thought, but it still sent pangs of anger, disappointment and frustration through her heart.

Of course, she knew the kind of person Jaune was: he wanted to be the hero. He was always disappointed in himself, always thinking that just because he faked his scripts into Beacon, he wasn't as good as anyone else.

It was just so annoying sometimes that-

"Miss Nikos?"

Pyrrha glanced up with a start, staring into the Professor's face. Everyone in the class was staring at her, waiting.

"Sorry professor, what was the question?" she asked politely, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Professor Port huffed. "Well, my dear, I was asking how Captain Roar managed to fend off two Deathstalkers and three Grimm creatures by himself."

Pyrrha's mind buzzed into concentration zone. "Of course. Captain Roar simply had the upper hand. Although people may think the Grimm creatures were definitely going to finish him off, he had the strength and courage to face them off. Using battle tactics, he outwitted them using his unusual Semblance of illusions that made him look like he was teleporting. He then found the weak spots of the Grimm creatures and slayed them."

Everyone stared at her in astonishment, and she managed to crack a nervous grin.

"Wonderful, Miss Nikos! But do tell us all: why was Captain Roar so important in the research of Grimm creatures?"

Pyrrha beamed and nodded her head. "Using his knowledge of his famous battle, he wrote a book about the Grimm creatures. He described their features very efficiently, explained their different attacks and approaches, as well as documenting their weak spots."

"Absolutely brilliant, Miss Nikos! And what kind of features, attacks, approaches and weak spots does… let's say, a Nevermore have?" He looked around the classroom for another student to pick on, straightening his moustache as he did so.

"Aha, Mr Arc!"

Jaune woke up with a startle as well. He had been daydreaming about Pyrr- nothing, when Professor Port picked him.

"Ah… Yes… er, the answer…" He stammered, trying to buy time as he tried to think of what they were talking about. "The answer… you see… erm, the answer…"

Pyrrha could write quickly.

As soon as Professor Port asked Jaune, she stared wide-eye at the blonde knight, who was clearly the damsel in distress at the moment. She rapidly took out a paper and pen and furiously wrote the answer. She then slipped it onto his lap, quiet and unnoticed.

"Er… well the answer is… Aha! Yes, the Nevermore! Well, it is one of the few Grimm that could fly… And it also used its feathers as a reigning attack from the sky, which could pin and trap humans and make them unable to battle. It always encircles the human and when it seems to be gone, it actually circles back and surprises the human. Its weak spots are its back and head area… Oh, and it can also be decapitated, like we witness Team RWBY do in the Emerald Forest cliffs," he added, beaming.

Professor Port was slightly taken back at the scraggly boy's answer, who he thought was lacking. "Very well done, Mr Arc! A fine answer!" Team RWBY looked up from their seats and gave Jaune a grin, to which he returned a thumbs-up.

Oh, yeah. Except for Blake. She was still reading Ninjas of Love.

As Professor Port moved on to pick on more unsuspecting students, Jaune leaned over to Pyrrha.

"Thanks for that. I owe you one," he whispered. She smiled and nodded, trying to follow what Professor Port was saying.

"In fact, I owe you a lot. For helping me. What can I do in return?"

"Take me on a date," Pyrrha muttered in reply.

"Sorry, what? I didn't hear that."

Pyrrha sat up straight with a startle. "No, nothing! I'm good. Really Jaune, you don't need to do anything. You don't owe me anything."

"But-"

"We're partners. We're a team. We do this together, and we're supposed to help each other out. So you don't owe me anything," Pyrrha replied, trying to ignore the voice in her head screaming: TAKE ME ON A DATE.

Jaune sighed, then nodded. "Fine! You win."

He turned back to the front and slumped in his seat, waiting until forever for the class to end.

Aaaaaannndd that's the end of the first chapter! I was going to put more but I decided to put it in the next chapter. I hope this one seems better than my first Broken Moon chapter. I'll let the story progress more, rather than just showing the confession. Hopefully you enjoyed! Make sure to favourite, follow, and most importantly, review! Thanks much for reading!

Stay Sweet,
