"Pyrrha, for the last time, relax." Coco said as she helped doing the champion's makeup for the Festival. Meanwhile Yang helped fixing her hair, while Blake and Velvet fixed her witch of the woods costume.
"But today is the day, I'll get married to the man I love and I want everything to be perfect and what if something happens? What if the White Fang attacks? Or Nora eats too much candy or…" Yang put two fingers on Pyrrha's lips, silencing the girl.
"Pyrrha, who are you marrying with?"
"Jaune…" The champion blushed and smiled as she thought of her adorkable knight.
"Exactly. That guy would never marry you if he didn't love you as much as you love him. So, calm down. We will do whatever we can to make this ceremony a success, and before tomorrow, you and he will be the first of us to tie the knot." Yang said without any teasing and a serious face, and Pyrrha finally calmed down and relaxed.
"I wonder if Jaune is as nervous as you." Velvet commented.
"Knowing vomit boy he's probably having a meltdown." Yang said and they laughed a little. The champion felt better knowing her lover probably was at least as nervous as her.
…
"I can't believe you're so calm." Sun commented as he ate a chocolate covered frozen banana, and Jaune just sat there waiting Ren and Neptune finishing dressing up in their costumes.
"I already got a daughter. The marriage feels more like a detail now. Besides, I'm marrying Pyrrha, so I'm sure she is taking it as cool as ice." Jaune commented as he exchanged messages in his scroll.
"True, Pyrrha always had a good head on her shoulders. She's marrying you after all." Ren commented as he finally finished dressing up as Loki. Jaune chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"I'm lucky to have met such amazing woman. I couldn't be happier." Jaune said as he finished the message and smiled. "Are we ready to go?"
"Yep. I'm all ready." Neptune answered as he appeared dressed as future Trunks from DBZ.
"You took a lot of time for such simple costume." Jaune wondered as he fixed his dragoon helmet.
"It takes time to be this cool." Neptune answered and Sun just rolled his eyes. "By the way, where's our favorite dragon girl?"
"Emerald took her, Ruby, Nora and Weiss to Trick or Treat on the city." Jaune explained.
"Wait… Weiss?" Neptune asked, surprised the aristocratic girl would do such mundane thing.
"Yeah, she said something about 'finally doing it'." Jaune answered back.
"Is it wise to let Nora around candy?" Sun asked as he fixed his Goku costume and opened the door.
"No, but this is the only time of the year NO ONE can stop her and her candy eating. All we can do is minimize the damage." Ren said in a rather ominous tone. As they got out, they met the girls outside.
"Pyrrha… Wow… just… you are so wow…" Jaune said as he stared at his bride. She blushed and offered her hand to him, and he took it. It took a few seconds before everyone else started cooing them
"Come on, love birds, let's go party!" Yang led them all to the school yard. "I bet Ruby isn't having as much fun as us!"
…
"I bet Yang isn't having as much fun as us!" Ruby proudly declared as her group walked down the streets, all of them with bags half full of candy.
"This is indeed quite fun. But I wish people stopped calling me your younger sister…" Weiss said as she walked by Ruby's side.
"Let them think it, the younger they think you are the most likely you get candy. The only good thing of being small." Nora said as she carried her rather big candy bag.
"Thanks for coming with us again, Emmy." Tia said with a small blush as she walked hand to hand with Emerald, the older girl dressed as a pirate, also blushing a little. She was finally realizing she might be liking the dragonet way too much.
"No problem. You said some friends you met in the city would come over?" Emerald asked, curious to know who would be those people.
"Let us commence with an All-Out Attack." They turned to see Penny approaching, dressed in a very realistic Aigis from Persona 3 outfit.
"Penny!" Ruby and Tia celebrated and hugged the android.
"Glad to see you two again, friends. Your costumes are rather well done!" Penny commented and then stared at Emerald. "I don't think I'm familiar with her, tough."
"Oh, yeah. Penny, this is my friend Emerald. She's so awesome! Emmy, my friend Penny." The two girls exchanged handshakes, and the mint haired girl was surprised with the strength Penny showed to posses.
"Nice to meet you, Penny."
"Your girlfriend is indeed beautiful, Tia." The android spoke, making both girls fume while Ruby and Weiss giggled.
"G-G-G-G-G-G… We aren't dating!" Tia explained, but keeping an eye on her crush.
"Oh, I see, but I thought you said in your last message you wanted…" Tia used her tail to cover Penny's mouth.
"Anyway, let's grab more candy." Tia grabbed Penny and took her to the next house, while Ruby and Nora followed and giggled.
"You know, you two do make a cute couple… Emmy." Weiss teased before walking away, while Emerald fumed hard at that.
…
Tia got separated from her friends as she stopped to see if she got any Dust crystal. Sadly for her, Dust crystals weren't something handled over on the Festival. So she got really happy when she found a lollipop and thought it was Dust.
"Oh, red Dust! On a stick!" She celebrated and unwrapped it, but as she was about to put it on her mouth someone took it, a man in bowler hat and with a cane, surrounded by guys in black suits and red ties. "Hey!"
"Wow, that's one good costume, kid. But you shouldn't be alone so late." Roman stated as he examined the lollipop.
"Hey, that is mine!"
"Not anymore." He put the lollipop on his mouth. "Hmm, cherry."
"You thief!"
"Ahahahaha. And what you're going to do kid?" Tia growled and grabbed a red Dust crystal from the pocket on the inside of her costume and ate it, her horns becoming red as well.
Then she flared double fire against Roman and his group. The goons had their hair and hats on fire, and started to run around begging to stop being on fire. Roman stood there trying to figure out what happened. He knew that wasn't special effects as he felt the hit, and clearly his men were on fire. But he still was feeling a heat on the top of his head.
He took his bowler hat and examined it. Yes, on fire.
But he still was feeling heat on the top of his head, which meant.
"Oh great, I'm on fire. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" then he started running around with his goons, and Tia just walked away.
…
At Beacon, everyone was coming to the yards were a huge bonfire was put in the middle, several food carts were spread and a band played in the stage. Jaune and Pyrrha walked hand in hand, their attentions completely focused on each other. Velvet and Coco were wearing space marine costumes, while Yatsu was dressed as the Great Book of Laws of Remnant, and was probably the most creative costume.
He had competition though, as both Oobleck and Port dressed as Ozpin, while Ozpin himself dressed as Glynda, proving he indeed had a sense of humor. Team CRDL all dressed like Roman Torchwick, and walked around in a rather exaggerated fashion, gaining many laughs along the way. Peach was dressed as Sakura from Sakura Cardcaptor, and was having to deal with lots of fangirls trying to hug and pet her.
"Where's Fox?" Blake asked as the group decided to eat something.
"He hates the Festival of Dragons. Something about people thinking his normal looks is a costume and desserts being unnatural. I decided to not question it." Coco said as she grabbed a hot dog.
"Oh well, more food for us." Yang celebrated as she got a corndog.
"You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?" Blake questioned as she had fish and fries.
"Of course I am." Yang winked and gave a loud bite on the corn dog, and several boys around that were watching maliciously cringed as she chewed it happily.
"Good evening." They turned to see Cinder, dressed as Queen of Hearts, approaching with Mercury, dressed as Sephiroth from FFVII.
"Sephiroth! DA! Da dada DADA!" Sun and Yang sang together, prompting everyone but Mercury to giggle and laugh.
"I'll hear this a lot tonight, won't I?"
"Yep." Yang answered while laughing.
"I heard we will have quite the ceremony tonight." Cinder asked, and Pyrrha blushed while Jaune pulled her closer.
"Yeah, more of an engagement ceremony than anything." Jaune answered and would have kissed Pyrrha if their costumes allowed them to.
"Ah, I see. And where's your lovely daughter?"
"I'm here, Cinder-onee-sama." Tia waved as she returned with the rest of the girls, including Penny and Neo dressed as Zorro, with black hair in pig tails and green eyes. Tia recognized her by the smell, but promised the multicolored girl to not tell anyone who she was (especially near Yang). Cinder tried her best to keep her composure near everyone's favorite dragon girl…
And failed miserably.
"I can't believe you can be this cute! This should be a crime!" Cinder yelled as she glomped Tia.
"Let me check the Great Book of Laws!" Yang shouted as she 'opened' Yatsu costume (just the cover moved to reveal a page full of gibberish. "Nope, not a crime. She can be even cuter."
"She gets cuter, and Emmy will have to get a stick." Ruby teased Emerald.
"Emmy?" Half of them questioned.
"Onee-sama?" The other wondered.
"Who's Zorro girl?" Yang asked and Neo made the pose with her sword.
"A friend I met in the city the other day. She's really nice but don't talk much. She said she wanted to be referred as El Zorro." Tia said, and Yang just shrugged, to Neo's relieve. She was there to have fun, not a rematch. "Daddy, mommy, look at how much candy we got!"
"You really got a lot. Why you don't take your friends and drop the bags in our room so we can have fun tonight?" Pyrrha said, and the girl nodded, grabbing Emerald by her hand and guiding her back to their room, make Pyrrha sigh a little but smile.
"Awww, she got a girlfriend already. Children grow up so fast." Yang said, and then she hugged Ruby for the smaller girl chagrin. "Promise me you will stay cute and small and without girlfriends forever!"
"Yang! Stop it! I drink milk!" Ruby protested before running away to leave her own bag on her room.
"Weiss, make her happy."
"I hate you so much!" The heiress stomped off to drop her own bag, followed by Penny and Neo.
"While that was mostly entertaining, Mercury and I will take a look around. Tell Emerald she can enjoy her night." Cinder said as they moved out to the other side of the yard. When they were fair enough to not be heard, Mercury decided to make a question to Cinder.
"So, I was wondering when we would resume our plans."
"What plans?" Cinder questioned, her plans all about forgotten as her mind was filled with images of Tia in cute dresses.
…
The party heated up sooner than later. Part was because too many people thought Yang's costume was an invitation and she answered according: by punching some sense on them and scaring the rest. Nora couldn't wait to try some of her candy, and now was in a sugar rush that they were certain was about to break the rules of space and time. Ren could only run after her.
And as the night advanced, Pyrrha's nerves started acting again. It wasn't as bad because Jaune was always with her, ensuring her that she didn't wish anything but marries him. It was the honeymoon that was worrying her, as she tried to convince herself she was ready, and she couldn't point what she was afraid of.
That was when she felt Jaune pulling her away from the crowd and into the woods behind the yard. Her heart beat faster as she tried to imagine what he would want with her in a secluded place, and that was when her mind wondered to a very kinky place and she blushed. Would he just skip the ceremony and go direct to the 'marriage' old style part?
I'M NOT READY!
They stopped under a big oak, and Jaune kept staring up, while Pyrrha stared at her feet, wondering what he was waiting for. That was when she heard a weird whistle, and when she stared up she jumped on Jaune's arms as a missile landed on the front of them.
"The hell!?" She shouted, and then blushed as Jaune laughed and hold her bridal style.
"Let's wait for after the ceremony, shall we?" The boy said as he gently put her down, going to the missile and opening a compartment. "Micaela will be happy to know her ballistic system works."
"Wait, your sister?" She asked, and then Jaune kneeled in front of her and offered a beautiful golden ring with blue and red gems on it to her, making her tear up and go speechless.
"Pyrrha Nikos, you have being my partner, best friend and the person I love for so long now, that I can only imagine my life with you. I want to ask if you would marry me?" Jaune said simple, avoiding long speeches. Pyrrha couldn't answer, except by offering her hand so he gently slid the ring on her finger. He got up and removed his helmet and her hat, and they kissed.
Why I was so afraid?
She hugged him tighter, and they kissed for as long as their friends allowed from the trees before they started giggling and cheering. Pyrrha and Jaune just ignored them and kept kissing, at least until it got really heated up and Weiss had to separate them.
…
Tia was having her on dilemma at the moment.
She was trying to decide if she should chomp the head off the guy who was openly flirting with her Emmy. Her parents said she couldn't do it and she was a good girl, but she couldn't help but feel jealousy. Emerald wasn't pleased with the guy flirting either, so when she got the chance she pickpocket the guy and took Tia away with her, the dragonet happy they were holding hands but sad Emerald looked unhappy. They stopped in a calm corner of the Festival and sat to calm down.
"I wish those guys could take a hint." Emerald commented and Tia gave her the drink she was holding, and the thief drank it happily. "Thanks, hun. I just wanted to have fun."
"Sorry…" Tia said a bit dejected, and Emerald realized what was happening and held the dragonet's hands with hers.
"No! It's not you! You have being the best part of my night! I just… I just wish it was just us." Tia blushed hard at the comment, and was wondering what to do.
Until Neo came from behind and pushed Emerald into Tia, and the two girls touched lips.
Both girls stared at each other in surprise, too shocked to react and a little too pleased to separate immediately, but in the end they did, both touching their lips with their fingers while Neo smiled evilly and satisfied before disappearing in the night.
"Now I know why mommy and daddy love to kiss so much." Tia whispered to herself and smiled.
"Pyrrha is murdering me." Emerald murmured, but couldn't hide the fact she also enjoyed the simple kiss.
"Emmy?" Tia asked, and Emerald smiled, making the two girls start giggling.
"Let's keep this a secret, OK?" The thief winked, and Tia winked back.
…
"Ren, I regret everything…" Nora said as she finally crash of sugar overdose and laid down on his lap.
"At least she didn't destroy anything, but I think some third years won't be able to sleep so soon." Weiss commented.
"That is because Ruby kept going behind them and whispering 'soon' behind them as Nora threatened them." Blake explained, but she did have a great time laughing at others misfortune.
"So, hmm, when's that ceremony thing again? I really want to see Jaune and Pyrrha's marriage. I bet a fifty he will trip once." Sun said, and they started betting on how many times Jaune would trip.
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS. THE CEREMONY OF UNIONSHIP WILL START SOON. PLEASE, CAN JAUNE ARC AND PYRRHA NIKOS MEET WITH MS. GOODWITCH AT THE ENTRANCE?
"Ren… THIS. IS. HAPPENING!"
…
And indeed it was.
Glynda, dressed as Saber Lilly from Fate/stay night, conducted the ceremony, as Jaune and Pyrrha walked towards the stage holding hands, while everyone cooed them, making both blushing hard. Jaune didn't trip, but Ren cried like a little girl seeing his best friends marrying. Not that he was the only one as Weiss, Blake and Velvet also was tearing up. Nora, Ruby and Tia were jumping in excitement as the two teenagers stood before the blonde teacher.
"They say loves come from unexpected places. Legend says one day a dragoon knight married a witch, instead of the princess he saved. That's because he realized that the one that always supported him, always was there for him, and was the witch. And in the end that is all a union between two people is about: supporting each other, helping dreams come true and bringing joy to your own lives. Jaune Arc, why do you want to unite with Pyrrha Nikos?"
"I want to be with her because she never gave up on me, because she made me a true warrior and because I love her." Jaune said simple, but his voice filled with devotion towards her.
"Pyrrha Nikos, why you want to unite with Jaune Arc?"
"Because he saw beyond my name and fame, because he filled my life with happiness, because he gave me all I ever wanted to, I want to unite with him." She answered, her eyes tearing up. Glynda then took both her hat and his helmet off.
"Do you marry out of love?"
"Yes." Both answered with bright smiles on their faces.
"Do you promise to respect and support for as long as this love last?"
"Yes."
"Then as the traditions of old state, I marry you."
And with that, Jaune and Pyrrha kissed and married, and lived happily forever after.
…
…
…
"Now?" Tia asked whispering to Nora as the hammer wielder gave a small pack to the dragonet.
"Now!"
Tia ate a multicolored pack of Dust powder and flew high on the sky, firing a series of multicolored balls of Dust fire, thunder, ice and all kinds of pretty effects, gaining the attention of everyone beneath her. After she used all her Dust infused fire, she landed near her friends with a big smile.
"Nora…" Ren said, but the energetic girl just booped his nose.
"That was a thing. Wait…. Where are the newlyweds?" Yang asked, and in fact both of them disappeared during the 'fireworks'. Yang started smirking.
"Don't you dare say it!" Weiss growled as she covered Tia's ears.
"Yang, no!" Blake begged.
"I swear to heavens I'll smack you!" Ruby growled.
"Oh, I bet there is lots of smacking going right now." Ruby smacked her sister.
…
Pyrrha didn't care anymore.
She was a married woman now, and she just wanted to have Jaune.
They were kissing passionately as she dragged him back to the dorms, just wanting to take the chance and claim what was rightfully hers. She would be lying if she never dreamed about this, and Jaune as well was eager to fill her desires. They stumbled at the door, and she simple used her Semblance to hack the door open. Jaune gently laid her on the bed, and removed the heavy dragoon armor, and she also took her own costume off.
They stared at each other as moonlight filled the room, and she smiled, making him relax.
"So, Ms. Arc Nikos, was our marriage of your liking?" Jaune asked as he lay with her, caressing her body.
"Hmm, I like the sound of that, Arc Nikos. But I hope our next ceremony to beat this one." She answered then kissing him.
"That includes the wedding night?" He asked, and she simple pushed him down and got on top.
"You bet."
…
A few hours later, the group returned to their dorms. Coco and Yatsu, carrying a sleepy Velvet, separated from them first, then Emerald and Neo, with Tia giving her crush a goodnight kiss on the cheek, receiving a few cooing. With that out of the way, Yang rushed as fast as she could to tease Jaune and Pyrrha, while Blake and Weiss tried to hold her back.
"Come on! You know they did it and that you all want to know how it was!" Yang said, her speed not being reduced as she dragged her monochrome friends.
"Come on, Yang! It's their wedding night! Let them have it!" Ruby demanded.
"Besides, Ren and Nora will sleep with us tonight, and we are all tired!" Weiss claimed, really not interested in knowing what happened that night. Soon they stood before the doors to their rooms.
"Well, I won't interrupt them. Blake, are they at it yet?" The catgirl sighed at her partners' antics, but stared at JNPR's door. No sound from there. On the other hand…
…
"That was really good." Pyrrha said with a smile as she rested her naked form on Jaune, kissing his chest a little.
"It was. I never expected you to be so flexible." He answered, and both chuckled a little.
"Well, my partner, my husband really worked hard to make me happy."
"Only the best for you, love. You know, we really need to talk with Nora. I don't even know how and when she nailed that bed on the ceiling." Jaune commented, and Pyrrha looked up to see a bed hanging up them with ropes.
"Jaune… That wasn't Nora. It was Ruby."
"When did she do it? How she entered our dorm?" Jaune wondered.
"Jaune, she didn't rope a bed on our dorm. She roped a bed in her dorm."
"But this is…" Jaune stared to the side to see a improvised bunker bed with stacked books. "…not our room…. Oh no."
"Look, let's get out before they come back! Even because this bed is..."
"MY. BED." Weiss growled as she opened the door and turned the lights on, forcing Jaune and Pyrrha to cover themselves with the sheets. "MY. BED."
"Well, it seems Jaune and Pyrrha…" Yang put her sunglasses. "…wrapped it up. Eh? Right?"
…
After that night, a legend started that a banshee lived in Beacon, and her blood curling screams could be heard even from the city of Vale, as well as the screams of their victims.
…
A.N.: So, I plan to do one last chapter for this story in November. It was really fun to write it up. ^^
Actually, this story would be a Jaune x Yang pairing, with Yang breaking Crocea Mors and freeing a spirit inside it that would call the blondes her parents, but I decided to go with Pyrrha for it because I love Arkos too.
But now I have the idea of doing this story again, but with Yang as the mother of a dragon girl, and will be a little different than this one, since the daughter will have a different personality, and there will be the entire dynamic between them and Jaune.
If you are a fan of Journey into the Stars, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I know how I want to finish that story; need just to get in the right mood for it. Thanks for your patience.
PS: decided to finish this story here. Couldn't find anyway I liked to finish it any other way. Hope you all enjoyed it like this anyway. ^^
