AN: Hey everybody. No, this isn't some useless author's note. It's an update!
(pause to give you time to ease your excitement and any other feeling)
I know I said its over, but with all the reviews and me rereading Those Days myself for that old spark of comedy for other stories, I kept getting more ideas for this story. So I'm giving three more chapters.
Those Days Xtra: How I Fell For Your Father
Blake sat with her fellow mother Coco as they watched their kids run around the park of Vale. After getting the throne, her husband had remade the country his family had ruled over for centuries into a democratic state. It was nerve racking for the both of them as they tried to do their parts well. Blake in convincing the people of Menagerie that Arcadia saw them as equals, and Jaune in stopping his mother from forming a rebellion. It was hard, but they were able to get their desired results.
After that, the two decided to move back to Vale to be closer with their friends. The cottage was a nice place, but it got lonely after Ren and Nora moved out to raise their son, Lie Chi. Their son, Felix was sad to see a friend go so the parents agreed to move back to Vale.
"Mom, look." The cat faunus' little boy said, holding up an old magazine. "It's you and dad!"
The magazine her son was holding up was an old movie guide. After years she couldn't believe how popular Grimm Eater still was. Even with all the sequels, people would watch the first to get into the whole film.
"That brings back memories." Coco said, leaning over to see the magazine. "That was a fun time. Even if Ren kept scolding us like some diva."
That got a small snort out of Blake. Whenever they messed up one of the fight choreographies, he'd mercilessly tear into them of how it wasn't rocket science.
"Mom?" Lirin said, pointing back to the picture her friend was holding up.
"Yeah sweety." Coco patted her daughter's hair. "Mommy and aunty Blake were in a movie with your daddy and uncle Jaune."
"Cool." Felix said, looking at the picture then back to his mom. "You guys look really young in this picture."
Hrrgk!
That struck both mothers in the heart. They knew it was an innocent statement, but the end result still hurt.
"Well of course we look young in there." Coco tried to justify. "That was when we were still in Beacon Academy. Your dad played the lead role as the soldier on a mission while your mom played the spy who fell in love."
"What did you play mom?" Lirin asked, leaning close in excitement and hopping on her toes. "What? What?"
"Hmph." The cool mother said, standing up to strike a pose and making her sunglasses glint. "I was the Rain. The message from the skies."
"Woah!" Her daughter got on top of the bench to mimic her mom's pose. Coco laughed as she swung her daughter around.
"Your father was quite the actor too." She supplied. "He was Switch Shot Kongou. The rival of the hero."
"Ren really outdid himself with all the sequels." Blake said, remembering the films that followed. "It's a shame Koriarni tried to ruin it with that unauthorized sequel."
"Let's not think about it." Coco stuck a tongue out at the memory. "Still, I think the film was the first time you and Jaune had ever kissed."
"Mom kissed dad in the movie?" Felix patted her mom's lap.
"Yeah, it was the first time we ever made out." She blushed, remembering how everyone was watching them.
"How did you meet dad?" Her son egged on, wanting to know how they got together.
"I met her with your aunt Ruby and Yang." The cat mother patted her son's head as she sat him next to her. "I never even talked to him because at the time, he was in love with your aunt Weiss."
Both children gasped as they listened to the story. Even Coco was leaning back as she listened to the tale of Blake and Jaune.
"But it was ok." She waved a hand. "Because I was in love with someone else at the time."
"Who?" Lirin asked, leaning in to get the name. Coco had to suppress a chuckle from what would come next.
"Your dad." Blake said, pointing to Lirin.
"Hawawawa!" The little flailed in shock. "You used to be in love with my dad?"
"Maybe not love." Blake laughed as Coco pulled her daughter into a noogie. "Your dad and I decide to stay just friends and then your mom snatched him up before any other girl could grab him."
"More like the other way around." Coco smiled after letting go of her daughter. "He wore me down with how sweet he was that I gave it a shot. Never regretted it at all."
"So what happened with dad and aunt Weiss?" Blake's son egged on. "Did he marry her first?"
"No!" Blake said a bit too heatedly before composing herself. "Weiss kept rejecting your dad's attempts. He even serenaded her at our door to go with him to a dance."
At that part, Coco did laugh at the thought of Jaune serenading back then. He wasn't so goofy as he was today, but the thought of his younger self doing that was still hilarious.
"Then one day, he just stopped chasing her." The cat faunus continued. "By then Sun and I decided to stay just friends."
"And then you kissed and became boyfriend girlfriend?" Lirin said in excitement.
"I wish it was that simple." She huffed at the memory. "Pyrrha was also in love with Jaune, so I had to challenge her for his attention."
"Hey, just wondering." Coco butted in. "When did you start talking to Jaune? The others said you two never interacted before, but then one day you two were all social with one another."
"Now that's a day I cant forget." She said, looking to the sky with a smile. "It started-"
"When teams RWBY and my team ditched me in a club called The Aria." A voice that made Blake's knees weak interrupted.
Walking towards them was a blonde man with an eyepatch on his left eye and wearing VPD's uniform. Jaune was offered a cybernetic eye, but he refused it. He chose to keep it as a reminder of the day they all fought for peace.
After moving to Vale, Sun had given Jaune a job as an officer with the rest of team SSSN. With the monkey faunus being in high command, he needed someone who could parkour to take his place on the special rescue team.
"Dad." Felix jumped into his dad's arms.
"You're out early." Coco noted, giving the former ruler a wave. "No bad guys to catch?"
"Just doing a patrol." Jaune sighed in boredom. "Being in special units isn't that fun with all the paperwork. It's a good thing Neptune does it for all of us."
"Story." His son nudged him, hoping for him to continue.
"Right, right." He said, ruffling his head. "So your mom is sad because she and Sun had broken up. And your aunt Yang decided to drag us all to a club called The Aria."
Flashback
"I told you guys, I'm fine." Blake said in a tired and depressed tone. "Just let me go through my stage of grief and acceptance, and I'll be okay."
"Not good enough." Yang pushed, sitting Blake back down and ordering a drink for her. "Yo! A Strawberry Sunrise for me and my friend here."
"I'll take a chocolate strawberry daiquiri." Ruby raised her hand. It was instantly shot down as Yang pulled her to her. "Yang!"
"You're not drinking anything but milk and water." The older sister ordered her.
"But I've got money." She held out her cash.
"You don't even know what a daiquiri is." Yang argued back. Seeing her sister about to cry, she relented as it was causing a scene. "Okay, fine. You can have one drink. Just one. But if you don't finish it, no more."
Over in the corner, Weiss was swirling a drink while having a chat with Ren. The two were discussing about an event that Glynda had informed them in advanced. Ren was hoping to get a camera from Weiss, and was discussing terms and use. Nora was right behind him, spinning in the chair while waiting for her drink. As for Jaune and Pyrrha…
"Um, I guess I'll have a body shot?" The champion ordered, not knowing anything about alcohol or clubs.
The reaction she got from both Jaune and the bartender was priceless as they couldn't believe what they heard. Being the nice partner and leader he was, he decided to enlighten her on what she had asked for.
"Pyr." Leaning in he whispered what her order was into her ear. With each word, her skin had started turning the same shade as her hair.
"O-oh." She shivered, looking to the bartender in shock and apology. "I'd like to change it to a berry colada."
"Better." The female bartender said, going back to fix her order.
After she was gone, Jaune had burst out laughing, getting an angry pout from his partner.
"It's not funny!" She cried, lightly punching him on the shoulder. Even when light, her punches still hurt.
"Why would you order something you didn't know?" He wheezed after he recovered from the blow. He choked on his laughter after the punch.
"Yang told me to order one." Of course it was Yang.
After minutes of waiting for her drink, Jaune felt nature calling and went off to use the bathroom. While he was doing his business, he heard some shouting and a few things falling, followed by some feet stomping. As he got out, he noticed that his friends were gone and the club was a bit messier looking after he had left to whizz. Going up to the bartender, he asked her what had happened.
From what he was told, Nora got super liquor that made her go crazy. After babbling about some nonsense of parallel worlds, she had ran out the bar shouting about conspiracies. His friends had ran out to catch her not knowing what kind of chaos she would reap on the innocent.
"Your drink." The bartender said, handing over Pyrrha's berry colada.
After taking one sip of it, Jaune winced at its taste. Not wanting to be rude to the worker, he nursed it in his hands and swirled it around while waiting for his friends to come back.
While he was looking into the drink as it swirled around, he didn't notice a sweating and tired Blake trudging back in looking very thirsty. Seeing the drink in Jaune's hand she marches off to him and grabs it away to wet her throat.
"Hey!" The blonde said, not appreciating the rude act.
"Ugh." Her face scrunched up from the horrible taste of the drink. "This tastes like shi-"
"Jaune." Both mothers warned him, reminding him the two kids were around.
"Right, sorry." He apologized.
"This tastes like poo." Blake said, taking the ice left inside to rinse her tongue out.
"I've never tasted poo, but I'll take your word for it." Jaune joked, getting a small chuckle out of her.
"Very funny." She coughed, sitting next to him and ordering a rum cola.
"I didn't know you drank." The blonde said, ordering the same. "Then again, I don't know that much about you."
"I can say the same about you." She retorted, placing some lien on the counter. "We've never really talked much so the most I can get out of you is your name."
"Do you even know my last name?" He asked, getting an embarrassed blush out of her.
"I wont dignify that with a response." She turned away. After a few seconds she turned back to him. "It's Jaune Dark, right?"
"So close Belladonna." He gloated, getting a pout out of her. "It's Arc."
Nodding at the new info, she was about to make a comment when their drinks had arrived. Just as she was about to take a sip, she felt him nudge her to get her attention. "What?"
"I was just thinking." He started, getting a raised brow from her. "Since we don't know that much about one another, why not make a game out of it."
"Continue." She said, getting curious.
"So we have our drinks." He pointed to their rum colas. "We say something about ourselves like what we like or hate. If we didn't know it yet, we take a sip."
"So like a reverse I have never." She summed it up.
"Right." He said, raising his glass. "I …like to read comic books."
She didn't take a sip. "Really? How'd you know?"
"It's all I ever see you read in the library, whenever I'm there." She explained. Her smile then turned teasing with a bit of info she knew. "I also know you like to read a few romance manga."
The blush in his face from being found out was priceless in her opinion. "Relax. I think it's nice when a guy can appreciate some romance now and then."
"To be clear, it's romance mixed with other genres." He pouted, still holding a blush.
"Since we're on the topic of literature." She said, swirling her drink. "I'm a fan of romance stories."
She was not expecting for him not to take a sip. "I don't know if you're lying or not."
"I've seen you reading Ninjas of Love in Port's class." He said in a hush tone, getting a panicked look from her. "I've never read it myself, but I'd be pretty dense not to know that it's about ninjas and romance."
Somewhere in the streets, Yang had the urge to laugh out loud despite the cops chasing her and the others.
"So we know a small bit from glimpses." She said, leaning in to throw the big guns. "I like fish, but my favorite would be pink salmon."
"You got me there." He said, taking a sip. Unlike the berry colada, the rum cola was a better taste. "I …hate mango in sushi. Or basically mango in anything that isn't a drink or fruit salad."
She took a sip after nodding in agreement.
"There's a place that puts mango in sushi?" She asked, not wanting to know the taste of something that sweet in one of her favorite foods.
"Yeah." He nodded, not remembering the name. "I thought it was a fresh fish at first, but the sweet taste caught me off guard. I've learnt to watch out for orange colors in my sushi rolls."
"Good advice." She raised a glass in gratitude. "So something on food. …I hate pineapples in pizza."
That was something he instantly sipped in agreement to.
"What is it with restaurants now trying to put fruit in finger food?" He asked, getting a small laugh out of her.
"I draw the line at raisins in a tuna or potato salad, but if I see a tomato in my fruit salad I will walk out." She joked, getting a nod in return.
Minutes later
"I have …seven shistersh." Jaune slurred, blurring on the edge of tipsy and cognizant. By now he had six empty cups on his side.
"Damn." Blake hiccupped, taking a sip. On her side she had four empty cups. "I taught… I shot… I thought you had four."
"Nope!" The blonde laughed. "Sheven. And there all order then me."
"Yer dad needsh to learn how to pull out." The cat poked his nose before slamming her fist on the counter top. "Ahm firm Menagerie!"
"Good fer you." Jaune cheered, taking a sip even though she had said it twice now. "Um… I'm a natural blonde."
"For reals?" By now they were just spouting stuff out and drinking. "I hate break ups."
"Who doesn't?" At that statement, both laughed and clung onto each other. "You know? Yer alright. I like ya Blake."
"Yer good too Jaune." She admitted the same. As she tried to push off him, she felt the muscles under his shirt. "Ooh. Someone's working out."
"Thanks." He patted her head. "And you smell nice."
After both of them had taking one last chug, their heads had met the counter with light snoring.
End flashback
"Of course, we weren't instantly clinging to each other by then." The blonde ended, wrapping an arm around his wife. "It took me forever to fall for you."
"And it took a Grimm wave to get a real kiss out of you." She shot back, nuzzling into his neck.
Seeing the two kids looking at them with eyes wide, they regaled of the day Jaune lost his eye, Blake killed her nightmares, and how Salem the witch had died. Coco commented how it was almost similar to Grimm Eater except with some of the roles reversed in a few places.
"By the way. If we were that drunk, how come you remember all that?" The cat mother asked her husband after all was said.
"The bartender recorded the whole thing." Her husband explained, getting an affronted look in return. "She used it as a way to remind people to drink responsibly."
"What about the movie?" Felix nudged his parents.
"What movie?" Jaune asked, getting the magazine shoved in his face. "Hey! It's our old movie. …Wow, we really grew up."
"In a good way." He added quickly, seeing the two mothers glaring at him. "I think Ren has the full set in his home."
"You know, it's been a while since we all got together for a movie night." Coco added, taking her shades off to look at her scroll. "Why don't we call up the others and set a date to have a movie day?"
"I'm in." The blonde pumped a fist in the air. "I'll tell Sun about it when I head into the office."
"Thanks." As Jaune walked off after giving his wife a quick peck and his son a hug, it was just the two mothers and their kids once more. "So you hate pineapples in pizza?"
"If I wanted to have a sweet pizza, I'd pour sugar on it." The cat mother huffed.
"But mom. You said not to be picky with food." Felix pushed on his mother's leg. The teasing smile Coco was giving made the guilt heavy. Luckily, Blake knew how to justify herself.
"I said it's bad to be picky with good food." She stressed on good.
"I guess I know what to order on movie day." Coco teased.
"Good luck eating it all then." Blake waved a hand. "I'll be bringing my mango-less sushi, thank you."
"Now you're just being mean." The brunette mother pouted.
"Is a pizza still a pizza if cut in squares?" The cat faunus rebutted back. That question earned a gasp from the two children and Coco.
"You fiend." Coco whispered before shaking off the cold. "Fine, no pineapple pizza. Just regular pimento and pepperoni."
"Seafood please." Blake's son asked, nuzzling his head on Coco's lap.
"Stuffed crust too." Lirin did the same on the other. It was a cute combo attack on both sides. Coco could not say no.
"So you know how Jaune and I started talking." Blake said after laughing silently. "How about you and Sun?"
"Now that's a nice story." Coco said after shooing the kids away to the playground. "See, it all started at a leader's meet…"
END
AN: And that's the first extra done. The next is Arkos, so no need to get salty Arkos fans. And since it's the holiday month, it's going to be a thanksgiving and Christmas chapter.
Truthfully I'm not so much a fan of any fruit mixed with meat. It just feels unnatural to me. Some of you like it, but it's just something I cant enjoy. Just like those amateurs who prepare my shawarma. You know what I mean. (They wrap the paper in the pita wrap. How cruel.)
