Jaune's Guilty Pleasure Chapter 1- Not so very humble beginnings, a rwby fanfic

Authors Notes: Hello and welcome to my story Jaune's Guilty Pleasure! This story is purely comical so there will be fewer mentions to canon, other than the beginning, than normal. The chapters will normally take place between the events of canon after the first day or two. I mean they transitioned from the third day during 'The Badge and the Burden" to a couple of weeks later during "Jaundice" so there are plenty of days I can use between canon. There will also be many differences from canon, some small, some big, but differences nonetheless.

This is a work of fiction, and a comedy, the characters will act slightly different to their 'canon' self. In other words, most (if not all) characters will be acting differently than how they normally would.

Lastly, this will be JaunexHarem. Not because I can't choose between the girls, or that I can't imagine any of the girls with anyone but Jaune, or because I don't enjoy one on one pairings. This will be JaunexHarem because I am a sadistic bastard and want to watch Jaune suffer through having to balance the affections of multiple girls at once. However, this won't be 100% harem, as Jaune will only actually have romantic feelings for one girl. Who it is will be revealed later on… Maybe.

On that note, hope you enjoy the story!

Chapter 1- Not so very humble beginnings.

"Huurgh!"

The new students of Beacon walked briskly around a vomiting knight as they approached their new school, being careful not to stand in the splash zone. Fortunately or unfortunately for the poor boy, he was too busy emptying his stomach to notice.

"Oh gross, Yang! You got vomit on your shoe" Cried a girl from behind the blond boy. He turned his head slightly to see a girl in a red hooded cloak. She had dark red hair and appeared to be a little younger than the people around her.

The knight winced slightly as the blond girl next to her, Yang, screeched. "Eew, get it off, Ruby get it off!"

"Yang, don't wipe it on me! I just got this cloak!"

Meanwhile, in a tree in the distance, a black haired girl was reading what appeared to be a manga. The sun glinted off her triangle shades as she watched the blond bombshell freak out. "…"

After finishing up… Reverse eating his breakfast, the knight watched in mixed amusement and curiosity as the younger girl from before, Ruby, exploded along with a white haired, rich looking girl. "I can't believe you dolt!" Scolded the older of the two. "How could you? That was Schnee property you just destroyed. Not to mention you could have nearly killed us!" She frowned as she waved a container of red dust around, again. Ruby appeared to be on the verge of tears as she sniffled like a kid after getting in trouble.

"I'm sowwy" she sniffled, "but that dust just made me- made me-"

The boy stifled his laughter as he watched the two explode once more, and who said lightning never struck the same place twice?

Then again, that wasn't lightning.

"That's it," yelled the white haired girl as she threw her hands in the air, "I'm leaving before you destroy the whole school with your adorable sneezes," and with that the girl stormed off, her suitcases and slaves - ahem - servants in tow. Ruby tilted her head in confusion as she sat on the floor, still recovering from the explosion.

"Did she just call my sneezes adorable?" she wondered aloud. Ruby blinked as a hand appeared in her vision.

"Need some help?" Smiled the blond knight, blue eyes closed and hand outstretched. "The name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it."

"…" The lack of response caused Jaune to open his eyes.
"Huh?" He smartly said. The girl disappeared. "Where did she-"

"Hi my name's Ruby Rose! What's yours?" Smiled Ruby as she spoke to the ebony haired girl. Jaune sighed dejectedly, 'she ignored me' he cried in his mind. The two watched as the girl closed her book with an audible thump.

The book girl gave her a grin as she shouted out for the courtyard to hear, "who am I? I'm Blake Belladonna. Who the hell do you think I am?" flashing a toothy grin, the girl mainly dressed in black and white backflipped gracefully off the tree and ran off. If you looked closely, however, you could see her blushing madly.

"…" Ruby was speechless.

"Was that a mecha?... And a copy of Gurren Laggan?" Asked Jaune, suddenly next to Ruby. The girl gasped and jumped, surprised by the boys sudden appearance.
Getting over her shock the girl smiled as she asked, "who are you?" Jaune face faulted.
He sighed and decided to do his 'awesome' introduction once more.

"The name's Jaune-" Ruby giggled, interrupting his 'awesome' introduction.

"Oh, I know!" She smiled gleefully, "you're that guy who vomited on the airship, then in that trash can, then on my sister. So Vomit Boy, watcha doin'?"

Silence ensued for a few seconds as Jaune struggled to comprehend the girl before him. "I give up" he sighed, breaking the silence. Well Jauney-boy he thought to himself, you only get one first impression, and I think you blew it.

"You're giving up already? But we only just got here. C'mon Vomit Boy lets go!" Cheered Ruby, clutching Jaune's arm as the two marched off.

"I'm telling you, motion sickness is a common problem!" Cried the blonde knight.

Ruby giggled, "yeah sure, Vomit Boy." Jaune glared at the girl.

"Oh yeah? How would you like it if I called you Crater Face?" he shot back.

The younger girl groaned, "That was an accident" The knight gave her a look,

"Well, it's not like I wanted to vomit on the airship… and in the trash can… and on your sister…" The two walked in awkward silence.

"Uh Ruby?"

"Yes Jaune?"

"Where are we going?" he inquired.

"Huh? I was following you."
The two sighed as they analysed their surroundings. They had somehow managed to find themselves in a very gardenesque area, complete with a fountain.

"Weren't we supposed to meet at the hall?"

"Pfft, it's fine." Ruby scoffed. "Anyway, show me your thing!" She exclaimed.

Jaune took a step back, completely misunderstanding her question.
"My, uh, what now?" he said as he blushed a shade of red similar to her cloak.

Ruby rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean, your weapon!"

Jaune took another step back, "Ruby, I barely know you. You can't just be asking some stranger to-" Ruby cocked her head in confusion.

"What are you talking about? Y'know what, I'll just show you mine!" She grinned.
Jaune stared in disbelief as the cute girl brought out a scythe practically twice the size of her.

"Jaune, meet Crescent Rose. She's my weapon, best friend and lover." She lovingly caressed the blade, "oh baby~" Jaune's mind went into overload. 'Her what?'

Jaune felt the air leave his lungs as Ruby tackled him onto his back, "I showed you mine, now show me yours!" She all but demanded.

"Gah, Ruby what-"

"Rubes? Where are you? The meeting in the hall's about to begin and I, like the caring sister that I am, came to find you. C'mon we're going to be late!" Jaune's heart stopped cold. It was Yang, Ruby's sister. "There you… are" she trailed of once she saw Jaune.

"Well dust dammit" Groaned Jaune, today was just not his day. Ruby on the other hand was pouting.

"Yaaaaaang, he was just about to show me his 'weapon'!" she whined. Jaune paled, 'Ruby, you're not helping!'

Yang's eye twitched. "His weapon you say?" She growled out, fists clenched. "Vomit boy, you are so dead for attempting to defile my sister!" Jaune gulped, this was not going to end well.

Needless to say, it didn't.

After his short encounter with Yang's fists of fury, and ten minutes of unconsciousness, Jaune managed to find his way to the assembly area just in time to see the white haired girl from earlier start spouting nonsense about dust and dunces to Ruby and Yang. Deciding he didn't want to deal with them, especially Yang, he continued on his merry way as the dust girl handed Ruby a 'Dust for Dummies and other inadequate individuals' booklet.

"Wait, so let me get this straight. You, Ruby Rose, actually exploded?"

Ruby groaned. "For the thousandth time, yes Yang, I exploded"

The dust girl growled at the two. "Are you two dunces even listening?"

Yang grinned, ignoring the annoyed girl. "Well Ruby, at least we can say your first day was a 'blast'!"

"…"

"I, uh, realised that I have something to do… Over there… Away from you," mumbled the girl in white as she slowly stepped away.

Ruby looked awkwardly around to find something. Withholding a shout of joy Ruby smiled. "Oh, hey! I see Jaune, bye sis!" she yelled, running off in the direction of the blond knight.

Yang looked in confusion as the two girls left. "Was it something I said?" She wondered. "Wait. Wasn't Jaune that guy who tried to molest Ruby?" after a moments pause Yang sprinted off to find her sister.

"Heya Jaunie!" Exclaimed Ruby as she rocked back and forth on her toes.

Jaune turned around to see the young reaper smiling brightly. He wasn't sure whether to be glad or afraid. She was his new, and only, friend. He really had no one else to talk to here so her presence was comforting. Her sister's presence however, not as comforting. Shaking the thoughts out of his head Jaune shot her a grin.

"What, no Vomit Boy?" He smiled at her teasingly.

Ruby giggled, "why? Do you want to be called that?" Jaune responded with a laugh.

"Hahahahaha- No" He ended, heavily emphasising 'no'.

The two stood around awkwardly as they waited for the other to say something. It was then that they realised they were both socially inadequate. Jaune shifted uncomfortably, why was it so hard to come up with something to talk about? Ruby on the other hand was thinking about how she should word what she was next about to say.

"Uh, Jaune?" She murmured.

"Yes Ruby?"

She took a deep breath. "So, why did you help me up in the courtyard?" She queried. Jaune fought back the urge to tell her angrily that she had ignored his attempt at being awesome and suave back in the courtyard.

Instead he decided to be civil about it.

"Firstly, I didn't exactly help you up seeing as you ignored me." Ruby laughed sheepishly, "And secondly, why wouldn't I help out a friend?" The younger girl gave him a confused look.

"But we weren't exactly friends at the time." Jaune gave her the biggest smile he could muster.

"My mum always says 'strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!"

Ruby gave him a pointed look.
"Jaune, that mindset can get you in big trouble one day" Jaune rolled his eyes and massaged his temples.

He gave her a look, "Why can't you ever just let me be cool for once?" The rose stifled a giggle.

"Isn't it obvious? If you were cool, you wouldn't be Jaune!"

"Well thank you for the vote of confidence."

After another couple of seconds of awkward silence Ruby decided to speak up again, this time her voice holding a seriousness that didn't suit what he had seen of her personality.

"Seriously though Jaune. Why did you help me?" She wanted to know what type of person he was.

Jaune put on a thoughtful look for a moment before putting on his signature grin. "Well if you can answer this for me, I'll tell you."

Ruby nodded.
"Why wouldn't I help you?" She wasn't expecting this. She thought he would say something goofy like 'who wouldn't help a cute girl in trouble?' not question her question. It was her question dammit. She decided to ignore it in favour of teasing him.

"I thought I told you to stop being cool. You can't be cool, you're Jaune!" Jaune glared at her,

"So what did it feel like getting blown up"

"It hurt about as much as when Yang pummelled you" she shot back,

"Touché"

The two laughed for a bit before a loud cough drew the attention of everyone in the room. On the stage was a man whose appearance and voice sounded more cryptic than… Something that was cryptic. Jaune deadpanned, he was horrible with metaphors. "Who is he?" He whispered to Ruby.
She cocked her head in confusion. "Don't you know? That's the headmaster of Beacon." Realising that the speech may be important, he decided to listen.

"Ahem, I'll keep this brief."

"…aun…"
"Ja…"
"…omit Boy!"

Jaune woke up with a jump. Who slaps a person while they were sleeping?

"Huh?" He looked around confused.

Ruby giggled, "You kinda fell asleep during the speech. Around the time he said 'ahem'. How you can sleep standing I have no clue." She mumbled the last part to herself.

The hooded girl giggled once more as Jaune blushed a similar shade to her scythe. Seeing this, he decided to turn the tables. "Well it was great waking up to a beautiful girl, but what did I miss?" He asked as he stretched. He moaned in satisfaction as his back made several loud popping sounds.
Meanwhile, Ruby was stuttering madly whilst matching the colour of her hood. She'd never been called beautiful before, cute definitely, but never beautiful.

After a few moments the younger of the two finally regained her composure. "You, uh, actually missed out on quite a bit of things." Before she could continue, Ruby spotted something in the distance. "Gottagobye!" She yelled before speeding off. Jaune stared blankly at the empty space that Ruby used to occupy.

"She never told me what I missed." He mumbled. The knight sighed, reluctantly moving forward. "Ah great, where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"

Meanwhile, a red haired girl watched from behind him. She smirked, "interesting." Nodding to herself she decided to follow him.

After rounding a corner Jaune walked into the dust girl from before, literally, sending the two sprawling to the floor. "Watch where you're going you dunce!" she shot him a glare as she yelled. Jaune chuckled.

"Sorry about that princess."

Her glare didn't loosen. "It's heiress to you," she snapped. Jaune gave her a strange look.

"Heiress to what exactly?" This time her glare harshened.

"Do you not know who I am?" she asked disbelievingly. The knight took up a thoughtful position.

"Nope, not a clue."

"I'm Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee dust company." Jaune stood up and extended his hand.

"Jaune Arc, pleasure to meet you Weiss."
Weiss rolled her eyes and got up herself.

"Pleasures all yours you dunce." Jaune mentally cried, why don't girls like it when he tries to help them up? Jaune looked her over.

"So are you okay? Does anything hurt?" Ignoring his concern she turned to leave.

"Hold up Snow Angel, I need to ask you something" He called out to her leaving figure. Weiss shot him another glare.

"What did you just call me?" He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"S-sorry, kinda just came out."

Weiss sighed, "If you ever must refer to me, call me Weiss or don't talk to me at all." Jaune nodded. "Now what did you want to ask me?"
The knight shifted uncomfortably on the spot.

"I, uh, fell asleep during the whole speech thing, mind telling me what's going on?" Weiss frowned for a moment and massaged her temples.

She sighed, "might as well, after all, we're most likely never going to talk to each other again. Ever" Jaune gave her a toothy grin, ignoring the emphasis on 'ever'.

Jaune yawned out loud as he stretched. He had his fluffy blue onesie, complete with blue bunny feet. It was comfortable, easy to move in and it leaves a good impression. Or at least, that's what his mum and seven sisters say. He scanned the room in search of where he put his stuff. The first years were to rest in the ballroom for the night before their 'initiation' the next day. He saw that Ruby was sitting with her sister, both watching something on their laptop.

Continuing his look around the room he saw the weird girl from earlier. Deciding to try and make another friend he walked closer. "Hey, you're that girl with the manga in the tree!" He called out.

The black haired girl, Blake, blushed briefly before giving him a look. "And?"

"…"

Jaune sweatdropped. "Uhh… Whatcha reading?" he asked in an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness of the situation. The girl appeared to be a slight introvert, and if he had learnt anything today, he had learnt that he has relative luck with making friends out of the socially awkward type, case and point Ruby.

"It's a book, what does it look like?"

Jaune facepalmed. Scratch that, it was just pure dumb luck he made friends with Ruby. This was going to be hard.

Jaune froze in place as he heard a voice from beside him. "Hi! I'm Yang, and this is my sister Ruby!" Ruby appeared from behind her.

"Hi" she mumbled meekly.

Meanwhile Jaune slowly tried to walk away. If she sees me, I'm toast he thought to himself. He nearly cried when he heard a twig snap under his foot. Ok what the actual- "You!" Growled Yang, her smile faded into an enraged frown.

Ruby blinked in confusion. "Jaune when did you get there? And what's a stick doing inside?" Ignoring her sister, Yang continued to glare at Jaune.

"You're the guy who vomited on me and tried to molest my sister!" Blake watched the situation in interest, glad that she wasn't a part of it.

Jaune sighed and decided to amend Yang's misunderstanding. "In my defence, it's not my fault I get motion sick. But I am sorry that a small part of my vomit managed to bounce off the trashcan in your general direction and land on your foot of all places. It was all my fault." He said trying to protect any vital parts of his body from Yang's wrath.

Ruby decided to put in her own two cents. "He has a point-"

"Shut it Rubes" Yang growled.

"Shutting it"

"Also, your sister was the one who was adamant on seeing my 'weapon'" he continued, air quoting 'weapon'.

Ruby pouted. "I would've been able to see his weapon if you didn't interrupt Yang!" The brawler stayed silent for a moment as she took in the information.

"All right then, Jaune was it? I'll let it go for now, but if I see you touch Ruby, look at Ruby or even think about Ruby in an inappropriate way. Lets just say you wont be able to touch, look or think again." She stated calmly, cracking her knuckles for emphasis. It was then Jaune realised that a calm Yang, was a deadly Yang.

"…"

"Weeeeeelll, whatcha reading Blake?" Ruby asked, trying to alleviate the awkwardness of the situation. Blake seemed to be a slight introvert, and if she had learnt anything today, she had learnt that she has relative luck with making friends out of the socially awkward type, case and point Jaune.

"It's a book, what does it look like?"

This time both Jaune and Ruby facepalmed.

Jaune groaned. "She meant what is the book about!" he said exasperatedly.

Blake looked at the two blankly for a solid minute before deciding to answer. "It's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." She stated calmly.

"Really? 'Cause it looks like smut!" Commented Yang from behind the ebony haired girl. Jaune watched as all of Blake's calmness was thrown out the window, along with Yang.

"It is not smut, it is art." She snapped at the shattered window. Jaune stared in awe as Yang jumped through the window without a scratch, unfazed by the situation.

She grinned, "if that's art, then I need to visit the art gallery in town more often." Blake blushed while Jaune and Ruby looked at the two in confusion.

"There's an art gallery in town?" Asked Jaune.

"Wait, so it isn't about a man with two souls?" Asked Ruby.

Yang's grin widened. "Nope, but there is a lady with two of something else that's described really well in this book." She teased. Blake's blush deepened.

Yang's brow rose when she saw the picture that accompanied the title of the next chapter. "That guy kinda looks like you Jaune" she commented. Jaune stiffened slightly, there was no way that it was that book… Right?

"Can-can I see that book for a sec?" the knight scrambled to the two young women reading the book, just standing slightly to the left of his fellow blond. "What's this book called again?"

Yang smirked at him. The amusement in her eyes was obvious. "It's called 'Ninjas of Love', why? You want a copy of Blake's art?"

The three girls blinked wordlessly as Jaune quickly ran away, "Well-its-been-great-talking-to-you-bye!" he shouted back.

"What's his problem?" Yang asked.

Blake's eye (and bow) twitched slightly as Yang turned the page, a strand of her hair wiggling happily as she read. "You done?" she all but growled out.

"Nope."

Jaune gasped for air when he finally came to a stop, who knew moving at the speed of sound can really wind you? After catching his breath Jaune decided to get back to finding his stuff, and nothing was going to stop, distract or trip him up.

*Thunk*

Dust dammit. He looked behind him to see that he had tripped over some person hunched in a blanket. "What the dust is your problem?" yelled the speed bump. Jaune stifled a laugh when he saw that he had tripped over Weiss.

"Hey Weiss, guess you were wrong about not talking agai-" He stopped midsentence, looking down. Scratch that last comment. Jaune stifled an embarrassed shriek when he saw that he had tripped over Weiss changing.

The half-dressed heiress followed the blond knights line of sight, wondering why he had stopped talking so abruptly.

"…"

"YOU PERVERTED DUNCE!" she screamed. Jaune yelped as she went for a slap with her right hand, covering herself with the other. Fortunately or unfortunately, Jaune's reactions were fast enough that he managed to dodge the slap. By slipping on an article of clothing and falling onto his would-be attacker.

Weiss blushed a bright shade of red when she realised the position they landed on. "Gah! You perverted dunce! What are you doing?" She squealed uncharacteristically.

"What am I doing?" Jaune retaliated. "What are you doing changing there? The changing rooms are over that way!" He snapped. There was no way she was blaming him for this. Moving to get up he blushed as he moved his hand and felt… Absolutely nothing. How did I trip over these, they're flatter than the horizon! He thought incredulously. No wonder she didn't want to get changed with the rest of the girls, I'm actually embarrassed that I tripped over them.

Jaune felt his spine freeze. "Hey Jaune you left your notepad back with…" Trailed off a voice from behind him. Slowly turning his head Jaune saw Yang with a stupefied expression on her face. "What? You can't have my sister, so you turned gay?"

"I'm a girl!" Growled Weiss. Yang raised a brow as she looked further down.

"When I first saw you I thought so as well, but now. I seriously doubt that."

"They're still developing!"

The knight pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "Why me?" he asked to no one in particular.

Yang rolled her eyes. "Her flat chest aside-"

"Hey!"

"Jaune, you left this notepad over where we were." Jaune paled whiter than Weiss' hair.

"None of you read it right?" he asked hastily, upon closer inspection one could see his body shaking immensely. Yang, however, grinned.

"Why? Is this your diary?" Before she realised what happened Jaune had gotten up and swiped the notepad. Frantically flicking through pages Jaune sighed in relief.

"Good, everything's still in order. Wait, where's my pen?" Yang gestured to behind her.

Jaune and a now clothed Weiss both looked behind Yang to see Ruby using the laser pointer feature on Jaune's pen. The reaper was playing around by pointing it at the wall and moving it every so often. What made the scene comical was that Blake was persistently trying to 'catch' the red dot. On her face was, according to Jaune, the cutest curious expression ever made. Yang stifled a giggle, even though the expression didn't suit her silent personality, it helped accentuate her beauty by adding a touch of childishness.

"I see that Ruby's made a new friend." Jaune commented.

Yang smiled in a proud fashion, "yep!"

Weiss glared at the younger girl.
"I still can't believe that she was air-headed enough to blow up my dust!" She frowned.

Jaune yawned, "well this was fun and all, but I kinda want to get to sleep. Y'know, get some rest for the whole big initiation test thing tomorrow."

Yang nodded in agreement. "Well, see ya and good luck."

"Night Yang" he yawned. Walking away, he turned to Weiss. "Oh and Weiss, try not to frown. It takes away from your beauty." With that last comment he walked off to find his belongings… again.

Yang began to walk off herself, giving the two a wave as she waltzed over to Ruby. "Night Vomit Boy, night Princess"

"I'm an heiress!"

"Whatever floats your boat Princess."

It was now midnight, the broken moon shone brightly on the sleeping students. One student in particular wasn't asleep however. Mentally psyching himself, a blond knight in a blue onesie silently surveyed his surroundings.

"Good, no one's awake" he stealthily grabbed his pen and notepad. Nodding to himself Jaune got up and, with the stealth of Santa on Christmas Eve, he walked around the room and tapped three specific people on the head. Each time he'd tap one of them his eyes would flash for the fraction of a second as his hand's glowed a light yellow. Finished with his task, Jaune snuck back to his spot.

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of curious eyes watched the blond boy head back to his spot. Staring at him intently, they listened as the scratches of pen on paper filled the otherwise silent room.

Jaune grimaced. "This is ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?" he groaned as he tried to make heads or tails of his map.

Meanwhile, Weiss was trying to recruit a certain red headed Spartan-like girl into her team. "Well I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together"

The Spartan girl smiled. "Well that sounds grand!"

"Great!"

The heiress smiled diabolically. This will be perfect! She cackled madly in her head. The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we'll be unstoppable! Nothing can come between us now! Not even seconds after that last thought Weiss was sent tumbling to the ground by a particular blond knight who had, inadvertently, come between them.

"We really need to stop meeting like this Snow Angel" he grinned. Standing up, he extended his hand to help her. Weiss scoffed and got up herself. I'm getting a sense of déjà vu thought the knight. Deciding to ignore the fact that his third attempt at helping a girl up failed, Jaune continued. "Well, I heard a couple of rumours about teams! I was thinking you and I would make a great one!"

With a smile on her face the red headed girl interrupted. "Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each so-"

Jaune gave her the trademark Arc grin and waltzed up to her, "well then, maybe you, me and Snow Angel over there can become a team. Jaune Arc." He said as he held out his hand. Weiss frowned.

"Do you not know who she is?" Jaune took up a thinking pose for a moment.

"Other than a beautiful girl, not a clue."

"This is Pyrrha."

"Hi" waved the Spartan girl.

"Pyrrha, graduated top of her class at Sanctum."
Jaune gave her a blank stare. He never noticed it before but when the light shines off her tiara it gives he an incredibly adorable visage. Shaking the strange thoughts from his head Jaune listened.

"She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!" She screamed, waving her arms wildly for effect.
Jaune just continued to give her a blank stare, this time getting lost in her eyes. They were an amazing shade of blue, and the scar, although barely visible, helped accentuate the colour. It almost made him want to stroke it- What is happening!? He yelled in his head.

None of the two girls noticed Jaune pulling his hear out as Weiss groaned, "She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!"

Jaune gasped dramatically.

"That's you?" He pointed at her disbelievingly. "But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!"

Pyrrha smirked. He's the one, she thought to herself. Jaune sighed dejectedly and looked at the ground sadly. The cereal box never lies, I'm definitely out of her league.

Weiss, in the meantime, was outright shocked. "That's what you recognise?" she shouted, immensely aggravated. How did he not realise who she was, did he live under a rock? Throwing her hands up in defeat she stormed off. "I give up. Pyrrha let's go."
Pyrrha smiled warmly at Jaune, "nice meeting you!" She hummed happily as she followed the heiress, a skip in her step.

Jaune sighed and slumped against a locker. "Likewise."

"Having girl problems lady-killer?" Grinned Yang. Looking around Jaune noticed Ruby hiding behind his fellow blond.

"Yo." She waved.

Jaune sighed. "I don't understand, my dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?" He banged his head against the locker.

Ruby got out from behind Yang and helped him up. "I'd say you've been doing very well so far." She mumbled inaudibly. Jaune tilted his head to the side.

"Did you say something Ruby?" The reaper stiffened and blushed before vehemently denying.

Yang grinned, "I'd say 'Snow Angel', as you put it, wasn't exactly the best person to try that on. But hey, plenty more fish in the sea. Except Ruby, she's off limits."

"Yaaaaang," Pouted Ruby. She couldn't do that. Ruby was already a big girl she drank milk!

Jaune chuckled at their antics. Looking at the two sisters closely, they were both very attractive in their own right. Yang had beautiful, bright, golden hair, amazing lilac eyes and it also helped that she was filled out quite nicely.

On the other hand, Ruby was incredibly adorable. The short dark red hair, the large silver eyes and her cute quirks all attributed to her endearing image. Jaune blinked. Where was this all coming from? This didn't happen before. "What about you Yang?" he spoke aloud. Realising his mistake he blushed, but before he could remedy his blunder Yang winked at him.

"Why don't you try and find out?" Jaune, hating himself on the inside for this, decided he might as well keep going.

"Is that an offer?" he grinned. Stop please. He groaned mentally. Yang however was surprised by the fact that he flirted back, she didn't think that Jaune of all people would flirt back.

Ruby glared at Yang, embarrassed by her behaviour. She liked it better when her sister hated Jaune. "Yaaaaaang!" she whined. After a moment all three laughed for a while.

The three students nearly jumped when they heard a speaker crackle to life. "Can all first years please report to the Beacon Cliff please." The voice was soft yet strict. Ruby listened to the voice closely.

"Hey, that's Glynda Goodwitch." She commented. Yang and Jaune looked at her confused,

"Who?" They asked simultaneously.

Ruby rolled her eyes, "The lady in the hologram on the airship, you were there when she introduced herself to everyone Yang!" The blond bombshell laughed nervously.

"Don't we need to head to the cliffs now?" she asked trying to change the subject.

Jaune sighed, "I still need to grab my things, I'll meet you two there." The sisters nodded and headed out of the locker room. Jaune gazed around the empty room. "Now. Where is my locker?" He asked to no one in particular. Turning around he saw that the locker he slumped against was in fact his. Well that's convenient. Grabbing his things and getting ready the knight headed out of the room, "As long as we're not doing some form of written test I'm happy with anything."

Jaune gulped as he looked down from what appeared to be a several hundred-meter drop. "Honestly, would've preferred a written test over… this." He whispered to himself. The woman from the airship stepped forward and gave a stern look to the students.

"Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumours about the assignment of 'teams'. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… Today." She paused and turned to Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon. In reality though, she was just trying to hide her satisfied smirk from the groans coming from the hunters and huntresses in training. This time Ozpin stepped forward.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well."

Jaune frowned at this, whom would he work well with? Ruby? Yang? Blake? Pyrrha? Wei- he stifled a laugh. As if he could work well with Weiss, the girl seems to hate his guts. Granted it was probably his fault, but he couldn't help it if she disliked his nickname for her.

"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

Jaune nearly choked, doesn't that go against his previous statement of trying to pair with someone good. He turned to the others to see that Ruby looked like her world had been turned upside down.

"After you've been partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path… or you will die."
The knight laughed nervously. Great, just great, he gulped.
"You will be monitored and graded throughout the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must chose one and return to the top of the cliff."

Well this is going to end well. Looking over at the headmaster Jaune spoke, "do we at least get a parachute or a pillow?" He asked, "… or a will?" Ozpin stared at him with a blank expression. Sipping his coffee he smirked.

"No." And with that, Jaune found himself in the air.

He swore in multiple languages as he spun through the sky. Glynda frowned at the young man, "Mr Arc certainly has a colourful language." She commented.

Meanwhile Jaune was tumbling uncontrollably. "I just had to say anything but a written test." He cried to himself as he reached the apex of his flight.

And there we go folks! That was it. Honestly was planning to have this out a while ago but complications arose. Either way, it's out now and I'm happy.

Nothing really to say except I hope you all enjoyed this and are excited about the next chapter.

On another note, this was a lot more words than I had originally thought it would be, and it goes very quickly. Should probably remedy that.

Anyone who can guess all the references to things gets a free cookie to feed to your nearest Ruby.
