I'm back!

Sorry it's been so long. Stuff happened.

I wasn't able to get this along with a bunch of other story ideas out of my head.

Oh boy.

edit

I wanted to thank the Guest reviewer for asking an important question that I failed to answer at the bottom. It should be answered now.

It was six in the morning on Saturday and team RWBY were all sleeping peacefully in their dorm. Until...

Their door was kicked off of the hinges and hit the floor with a loud bang. Standing in the now doorless doorway was one panicking Nora in her 'Boop' tee shirt and pink shorts.

"Jaune! Semblance! Fire! Sick! HELP!" The short girl screamed at the now half awake all girl team as they sat up in their beds.

"*Yawn* What's all the commotion about?" Weiss asked tiredly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

Nora couldn't keep still. She kept fidgeting where she stood, eyes darting between each of the girls who were still in their beds. "T-There was a red light, then fire, a pink puff of smoke and then Jaune, he- er..."

Weiss got up from her bed and walked up to the panicking girl. "Calm down, just tell us what happened." The Heiress said, taking hold of Nora's hands in an attempt to calm the girl down.

Instead of calming down and explaining exactly what had happened...

"Come with me!" Nora ordered, grabbing Weiss by the wrist and dragging her out of the room.

The remaining members of RWBY quickly got out of bed and left the room.

"What happened here?" Yang asked as she and the rest of her team entered JNPR's dorm.

It looked like there was a small fire. The second bed on the left was singed along with the curtains, carpet and the wall that was next to the left most bed.

"Never mind that..." Nora pointed to the occupant of the left most bed. "Look!"

Lying unconscious in the bed was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair. She was breathing heavily through her mouth and sweating quite a bit. Something was oddly familiar about her.

"Wait, is that-" Blake began but was interrupted by Nora.

"Yes, it's Jaune you idiots!"

"Nora!" Ren scolded, probably for what she had just said.

"S-Sorry." The orange haired girl apologized.

"What happened?" Yang asked, looking to Ren and Nora for answers.

Ren shook his head. "No idea. Pyrrha is contacting the infirmary." He said, gesturing to Pyrrha who was on the far right side of the room with a scroll held to her ear.

Yang looked back to the unconscious blonde who was apparently Jaune. Lilac colored eyes met beautiful blue ones. The brawler immediately went over and kneeled beside the other blonde's bed.

Jaune looked at Yang with half opened eyes and spoke. "Y-Yang." Her voice was quiet and possibly angelic. What's more is that she had an accent that wasn't there before. A French accent.

Yang could feel her cheeks heat up upon hearing her name. "Jaune, is that you?"

She didn't answer and instead closed her eyes and fell back into unconsciousness.

Yang stood up immediately, tore the blanket off of the sick blonde and picked her up bridal style. "Screw waiting, Angel goes to the infirmary now!" She announced before running out of the room with Jaune in her arms.

The remaining teens soon followed.

Still in their pajamas the seven teens have been waiting for an hour in the hallway just outside of the infirmary. Pyrrha was pacing in front of the door leading to the infirmary while the rest of the teens were sitting on a wooden bench.

"Pyrrha, maybe you should try relaxing." Nora suggested.

The red head stopped and turned to face Nora. "Not until I hear that he's okay." She said, reaching up and touching the teardrop shaped emerald gem that hung on a thin golden chain around her neck.

The other teens stared at her for a moment, noting her worried expression and the necklace.

Before anyone could say anything the door to the infirmary opened. Standing in the doorway was the doctor. He looked to be in his mid-twenties with short blue tinted black hair, faded blue eyes and pale white skin. He wore black circular rimmed glasses, a blue striped dress shirts, black dress pants and matching dress shoes.

Pyrrha was in front of the doctor in an instant. "Is he okay?"

The doctor sighed. "Jaune is... Resting at the moment. He-she... Jaune was running a fever but is doing better now."

Pyrrha let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "May we see him?"

The doctor scratched the back of his head. "Yes, you may see Jaune." He answered, gesturing for Pyrrha and the six others to follow him.

The seven teens stood in one of the infirmary's recovery rooms. Resting in the lone bed was the female Jaune who was looking much better. She wasn't sweating or breathing heavily anymore but sleeping peacefully. She was changed out of her blue onesie and into a blue hospital gown.

Pyrrha was by Jaune's bedside instantly, sitting in a provided chair on the right and taking her leader's now more feminine hand in her own. "Jaune?" She spoke quietly, stroking the blonde's hand gently.

Said blonde slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Pyrrha.

The red head smiled. "That is quite an interesting semblance you have." She commented with a giggle.

Jaune didn't react like Pyrrha was expecting. She didn't laugh with her or blush in embarrassment. No, she instead frowned and pulled her hand out of Pyrrha's grasp.

"Jaune?" She asked, reaching to hold the blonde's hand again only for Jaune to pull it away and breaking eye contact with her.

"I'm sorry." Jaune spoke quietly with Pyrrha clearly hearing her French accent and noting her sad tone.

Now Pyrrha was very concerned. Something was wrong and she wanted to know what. "Jaune-" But, she was interrupted when someone else had entered the room.

"Miss Nikos, may I have a word in private with you and Miss Arc?" Headmaster Ozpin asked, carrying his signature coffee mug and cane.

Pyrrha looked back at Ozpin while the six other teens along with the doctor slowly filed out of the room all the while glancing back with worried expressions. Once they were all out, Ozpin closed the door and approached the two remaining occupants of the room.

The doctor had to leave the six teens to wait just outside of Jaune's recovery room to take care of other injured patients.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Ruby asked anyone who was willing to answer.

"I don't know, it's been like... Ten minutes." Yang answered, checking the clock that hung above the infirmary's exit.

"I hope Jaune's okay." Ruby said, staring at the closed door to Jaune's room. She tilted her head in confusion when she saw pink smoke leaking out from under the door.

The six teens stared at the pink smoke. "Uh, does that mean..." Yang trailed off as she watched the smoke dissipate.

"Shouldn't the fire alarm be going off?" Nora asked, waiting to hear an alarm go off that signaled there was a fire.

A few seconds passed with no one speaking. The only sound was that of the doorknob to Jaune's room being crushed by seemingly nothing.

The teens all stared at the doorknob in shock. They were shocked further when the door slammed open and Pyrrha quickly walked out, her hair hiding her eyes. She made her way to the exit and left the infirmary.

"What happened?" Yang asked for the third time that morning.

"I believe I can answer that." Came a mature feminine voice.

Looking towards the source of the voice the teens saw a woman with long white hair and grey eyes. She wore small circular lensed glasses and a familiar dark green suit with matching pants. She was also carrying a coffee mug and cane.

"Headmaster?" Ruby asked, not believing what she was seeing along with the other teens.

The woman took a sip from her mug before speaking. "Well, it should be Headmistress for now. And before you ask, this isn't my semblance and unfortunately it is not Jaune's either." She answered the last part with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked, concern clear in her voice.

"*Sigh* Would any of you happen to know what these are?" Now Headmistress Ozpin took a sandwich bag of half pink and half blue colored pills out of her pocket.

Five of the teens looked at the bag and then shook their heads while one Heiress' eyes widened in shock. "BenGen!?" Weiss asked.

Ozpin nodded At the Heiress. "Yes, we found this hidden in Jaune's mattress. I'm sorry but once I received word of what happen I sent someone to search your dorm."

The five other teens looked between each other in confusion. "Uh, what's BenGen?" Ruby was the one to ask.

"It's a drug that changes one's gender. A boy to a girl and vice versa." The Headmistress answered.

"So, you and Jaune took this to turn into a girls?" Yang asked.

Ozpin shook her head sadly. "No, she is this sick because of prolonged use of the drug. Jaune has been taking it for months to remain a boy. I however took it for other reasons."

It took a few seconds before anyone spoke.

"W-Wait, so Jaune was a girl this whole time!?" Ren asked, his cheeks a light shade of red. "That means- we've been to the shared showers and..." He trailed off, mumbling something about a beautiful girl seeing 'everything'. He seemed completely out of character for the moment.

"Okay, while Ren freaks out." Yang said, patting Ren on the back. "Why would she do this?"

Ozpin could only shrug her shoulders in response. "She wasn't willing to answer that question."

"Well, maybe if we talked with her..." Ruby said, scratching the back of her head.

The Headmistress stood to the side to allow the teens to enter Jaune's room. "You may try but don't force it out of her. She'll tell once she's ready."

With that the teens filed back into the room (Ren's cheeks were red and he had to be led into the room by Nora).

Jaune was still lying in bed, facing away from the door and looking out the window. She either hadn't noticed them enter or just didn't care since she didn't look at them.

Once they had fully entered the room, Ozpin closed the door to give the teens privacy.

They all stood there for a couple of minutes, not really sure of what to do or say. That is, until...

"H-Hey there, Angel." Yang spoke as she walked up to Jaune's bedside.

Jaune turned her head to face Yang. It looked like she had been crying, a tear still rolling down her right cheek.

Yang smiled and made an attempt to wipe away the tear only for her hand to be slapped away by Jaune. "Leave me alone, imbécile." Jaune ordered in that fairly cute French accent.

"Her voice is angelic with a cute accent on top. Damn." Yang thought to herself, her cheeks getting progressively redder.

"Maybe I should talk to her." Ruby suggested as she gently pulled Yang back to be with the rest of their group. The blonde sister didn't resist and just nodded at her sister in agreement.

Ruby then sat in the chair that Pyrrha used before. The young teen pulled out a red handkerchief. "May I?" She asked.

Jaune nodded and Ruby gently wiped away any remaining tears on the Blonde's face. "I'm sorry." Jaune spoke quietly, looking at Ruby and then at Yang.

"It's okay. If you want to talk then we're here for you." Ruby said with a smile, attempting to place her handkerchief into Jaune's right hand only to find that she was already holding something. It was the necklace that Pyrrha was wearing earlier but the chain was now broken.

"Thank you." Jaune thanked with a forced smile.

Ruby frowned at this.

The group stayed with Jaune for the next couple of hours. All the while keeping their conversations as close to normal as possible. As much as they wanted to know why Jaune did what she did, they also didn't want to pry.

The door opened and three more people entered the room. The now Headmistress Ozpin, professor Goodwitch and a sullen looking Pyrrha who was still in her pajamas.

"Hello miss Arc." Ozpin greeted. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay, I think." Jaune who was now sitting up with help from the bed she was in answered, trying to not look at Pyrrha.

The sullen red head sighed before going over to Jaune's bed and sitting on the edge opposite of where Ruby sat in her chair. "Jaune, please look at me."

She hesitated for a second but complied, slowly turning her head to look at Pyrrha.

"I'm sorry for what I did but you must understand, I don't want us to keep secrets from each other anymore. I mean, what if all of this had happened while we were on a mission?"

Jaune looked away. She was right, what if this happened during a mission or something? "I could have gotten someone killed." Jaune thought to herself.

Pyrrha noticed Jaune's saddened expression once the blonde looked away. She was having none of that. Pyrrha cupped her partner's cheeks, forcing the blonde to look her in the eyes. "Jaune, you are still very important to me and probably everyone in this room. So please, can you tell us why you did all of this?"

"... O-Okay. You all deserve to know." Jaune agreed and Pyrrha released her partner.

The rest of the group soon gathered closer around Jaune's bed. They were all fairly eager to hear her reason to do what she did.

"I was never meant to attend Beacon. The transcripts that I used to get in were mostly based off of my twin brother's. The only part that was mine was the name."

"Did something happen to your brother?" Weiss asked.

Jaune nodded. "Oui, Jane died a year before I came here. Our parents were both devastated and embarrassed by it. But mostly embarrassed."

"Embarrassed?" Blake asked.

"*Sigh* Oui, pecked to death by a murder of Nevermores. Dad was pissed. 'He didn't even submit his application to Beacon yet.' Dad screamed when he came home with the body."

"That's terrible. I'm sorry." Ruby apologized.

"It's fine. We weren't that close anyway."

"I'm going to assume that your father wanted to pass the family heirloom on to someone worthy. Did he not consider you or any of your sisters... You know?" Weiss asked.

Jaune smiled and laughed bitterly while shaking her head. "Ha! Are you kidding? My eldest sister was the only one who had any kind of training. Even then it wasn't enough for dear old dad. So non, I'm afraid that none of us were 'worthy'. Even if any of us were well trained it wouldn't have mattered. Dad was only willing to pass on that damned sword to his son."

The other occupants of the room shared glances with each other. Before Yang spoke up. "So... Why are you here?"

Jaune's smile faded. "A couple of months after Jane passed, my dad discovered BenGen. He took one of the pills and found that it actually worked. He thought it was perfect. Get one of your daughters to take the pill and they could father the next generation of Arcs. He chose me because I'm... You know... Gay or as he and mom would say 'a dyke'."

Jaune stopped, noting the look of disgust on everyone's face.

"I'm not sure if I would like your parents." Pyrrha commented.

"Oui, you wouldn't." Jaune continued. "So, my dad unfortunately didn't know about the pill's adverse side effect. It makes you sterile. Oh, he was pissed off because he was an imbécile and took one of the pills to see if they worked."

"Wait, doesn't that mean-" Ruby started but was cut off by Jaune.

"Oui, I can't have kids either now."

Everyone was silent for a moment as they notices Jaune's sullen expression.

"Anyway." Jaune continued. "Dad still wanted his son to attend Beacon. So he did what any 'sane' father would do. He gave me a supply of BenGen, Jane's armor and clothing, the family heirloom and some forged transcripts. Said that I would be going to Beacon in place of Jane."

"Why? You've had no prior training. What was your dad expecting?" Weiss asked, unable to imagine his reasoning.

"No one but our family knew what happened to Jane. Dad sent me off to Beacon fully expecting me to either fail initiation or..."

"Or?" Pyrrha inquired.

"... Or I would die during initiation. He considered these to be less embarrassing for him."

Everyone stared at Jaune with shocked expressions.

"What the hell is wrong with your parents and why did you go through with this?" Yang asked, her face showing concern and a bit of anger.

Jaune shrugged her shoulders. "At the time I didn't know what my dad expected to happen. I thought it would make him happy if I did this. Maybe he would bother to love me..." The blonde started to tear up as she spoke.

Pyrrha quickly pulled Jaune into a hug in an attempt to comfort her partner.

"S-Sorry." Jaune apologized, her chin resting on Pyrrha's left shoulder.

"It's okay. I think that's enough for now." Pyrrha said, rubbing Jaune's back.

Pyrrha could feel Jaune nod in agreement.

The two partners pulled away from each other with Jaune wiping away any tears. "Thank you."

Pyrrha smiled warmly at her partner. "Is there anything you need?"

Jaune frowned slightly, taking Pyrrha's hand and placing something in it. "I still want you to have this."

Pyrrha looked down to see the necklace she had been wearing earlier. She looked back to Jaune. "Jaune, I can't return your lo-"

"I know, but I want you to have it as a gift from a... A friend." Jaune cut off her partner.

"... Okay, thank you." Pyrrha thanked with a sad smile as she used her semblance to fix the broken chain and hooked it back around her neck.

Jaune smiled back at her partner. Neither noticed Yang approach from the right.

"Ahem." The brawler cleared her throat.

"Hm?" Jaune turned to Yang and was immediately wrapped in a hug by the other Blonde.

"It's okay Jaune, I'm here for you." Yang said, making Jaune's chin rest on her right shoulder.

"Y-Yang, you're hair!" Yang's hair was tickling Jaune's nose.

"Wow, Yang's really trying to get in there." Nora commented while she and everyone else witnessed the display.

Ruby leaned over and tapped her sister on the shoulder. "Uh, I think she's going to sneeze." She warned.

"Oh, I got this!" Yang released Jaune from her hug and handed the other Blonde the red handkerchief that she just stole from her sister.

"Hey!" Ruby whined.

It was probably a bad idea to use a handkerchief however. Why? Well, it's not because the piece of cloth would be covered in snot or whatever. No, it's because when she sneezed... It was fire. Jaune sneezed fire and burnt the poor nose cloth to ash.

Everybody's eyes widened in shock.

Jaune looked down at what once was Ruby's handkerchief with wide eyes and then at the red reaper herself. "I am so sorry."

It may have gone unnoticed by the students but not the two more experienced hunters in the room. For a brief second before Jaune sneezed there was a flash of red around her eyes.

While everyone else was distracted by Jaune sneezing fire, Ozpin gestured for Glynda to follow her out of the room. They quietly left, closing the door on their way.

Ozpin made sure there was no one around before she spoke. "Contact James and tell him to call off the search. I think we may have just found our new Summer Maiden."

Now, there are some questions that went unanswered in this chapter and I couldn't really fit them into the chapter to answer them so I'll do that down here.

Q: Why was the brother named Jane.

A: Their father's answer. "Ever heard of the song 'A Boy named Sue'?" (Their father thought giving his son a girl's name would make him become tougher/stronger growing up. It worked.)

And the answer to why Jaune was named Jaune? That was their mother's idea.

Q: What's the pairing this time?
A: OTP! OTP! OTP! (Translation: You'll find out.)

Q: Why does Jaune have a French accent now?
A: BenGen changes a person into the opposite gender. It also alters the person's voice. In Jaune's case she was given a more masculine voice which also took away her French accent (somehow). It just happens to some people.

Q: Why is Jaune saying "Oui" instead of "yes/yeah/yep" like she did as a guy?
A: Something to do with BenGen. (But mostly because I wanted it this way).

Q: What does Jaune look like now, exactly?"
A: Uh... She is very attractive. As in, men and women will be easily distracted by her.

Q: Will Jaune have a different personality now?"
A: You'll see in probably the next chapter. I will say she had missed being able to act like herself.
