With the mission over, and Jaune recovered from the fight, the time has come for the two teams to head back to Beacon.

They waited in the area they arrived in for the Bullhead to pick them up.

"Ohhh, I can't wait to be back! Crescent Rose needs a tune up, which means another visit to the campus forge!" Ruby said excited to tinker with her weapon.

"Heh, not after we report our mission to Ozpin you don't Crater Face." Jaune said, causing Ruby to pout.

As they waited, they heard a twig snap, causing them to get up and ready to fight the source of the noise.

To their surprise, both Juliette and Nicholas were standing by the edge of the clearing.

"Ummm... What're you doing here?" Jaune asked, a little cautious.

Nicholas looked to the side, but Juliette smacked him in the back if the head, reminding him of why they were there.

"Jaune, I would like to have a word with you." Nicholas said.

Jaune sheathed his sword and everyone lowered their weapons, then walked over towards the two.

They watched as Jaune sheathed his sword, which caused the others to lower their weapons, but they were hesitant as Jaune walked towards them.

He stopped in front of the adults and they discussed among themselves.

"What do you think they want?" Ruby asked.

"Who knows but we can't let our guard down." Pyrrha said.

A few second pass and they were surprised to see Juliette grab Nicholas by the ear and tugged on it like he was a small child.

This elicited a few chuckles from the group.

"Well, if Juliette is treating Nicholas like that, then maybe it has something to do with apologizing." Weiss said.

"Why do you think that?" Ren asked.

"Well, I spoke with Juliette last night, she said she was only following a family rule when disowning Jaune, but Nicholas was antagonistic to Jaune on his own accord, which got her to decide that ahe needed a word with Nicholas. So I assume she's making him apologize for how he's been treating Jaune."

They watched the group talk for a little while longer, before they shared a hug and Jaune parted from the two as they went back home.

As he got together with his group, the sound of a Bullhead engine could be heard, meaning their ride was soon to arrive.

Midway through the ride, Nora spoke up.

"So, fearless leader, what did those two want with you?" She asked bluntly.

"Oh! Right. Well, it was more of my mom making dad apologize for being extremely rude." Jaune said, but the fact that he referred to them as "Mom" and "Dad" didn't fly right by them.

"Wait, why did you call them that?" Ruby asked.

"Ah, I guess I should explain more."

Back when Jaune was with Juliette and Nicholas

"So, any reason in particular you wanted me?" Jaune asked, raising a questionative brow.

Juliette looked at Nicholas with a similar expression, who just turned his head to the side, trying to avoid the situation.

"Why you..." Juliette grumbled, then proceeded to grab Nicholas in the ear like a child and pull it, making him face Jaune again.

"I believe you had something to say to him, don't you?" She said with a tone that threatened Nicholas' very being.

Letting out a sigh, he finally spoke.

"Jaune, I have to say I have made mistakes in the past. Some small while others large. One of the biggest mistakes I've made was going to Beacon and disowning you."

Jaune's eyes widened at the mention of that.

"What?"

"I won't lie, what I did was foolish. I was focused on old traditions I didn't think about what I was doing nor did I think about the consequences. I left you without a weapon, and training. And here you are now, stronger than ever. Jaune, you are a true Arc, you are no longer disowned, you are part of this family."

Jaune was shocked, his father was apologizing and now he was being brought back into the family he loved.

He did what he thought was best.

He hugged the both of his parents, with tears streaming down his face.

"Thank you..." He said quietly as his parents patted his back.

The separated after some time.

"Now then, it's time for us to go. I would offer you Crocea Mors, but I think Rubrum Glacies is more suitable for you." Nicholas said.

"Goodbye Jaune, make us proud at Beacon okay?" Juliette said.

"Of course! Bye guys! Love you!" He said with a wave as he turned back to his friends.

"We love you!" Juliette replied before turning back to the way they came from.

"And that's what happened." Jaune said as he finished telling the events.

"This is awesome! You're an Arc again" Ruby exclaimed.

"No more Jaune mysterio!" Nora said.

"I'm glad you made up with your family." Weiss said.

"If it weren't for you, I don't think any of this would be happened Weiss" Jaune said, giving her a smile, to which she replied with one of her own.

The Bullhead landed at Beacon, and everyone quickly exited, leaving Jaune and Weiss alone where they landed.

"Y'know, you have done a lot for me Weiss." Jaune said suddenly, making Weiss look at Jaune.

"You brought me from a weak, weaponless dunce, to a strong hunter, in training of course, and you talked to my mom which lead to me becoming part of my family again. So all I can do, is say thank you." He said, giving Weiss a hug, to which she hugged him back.

Once they parted, she spoke up.

"'Well, you better start showing your appreciation, because you owe me." She said sternly, pointing a finger at him.

"Of course." He said with a chuckle.

"Then you better start now, lean forward." He did as she told and when he was level with Weiss, he didn't expect her to grab his chin, turn his head to the side and plant a kiss on his cheek.

He was shocked, and looked at Weiss who already turned around, in an attempt to hide her cheeks that were turning red.

"You owe me a date, this weekend. No exceptions." She said as she walked away.

Jaune stood up straight and put his hand on his cheek.

"I'm really in for it now aren't I? Oh well. Things couldn't be better." He said as he walked back to the dorms.

The End
