Alright here is chapter two, I got a lot of notifications after I uploaded the first chapter, like wow. Anyway, I just want to point out that since Jaune and papyruses souls were fused at birth they are one entity now, Jaune is the reincarnation of papyrus with access to his powers and parts of his personality from his past life. However, he is still Jaune, sort of like how in the Avatar Aang and Korra are reincarnations of each other but still have access to the same powers, ideals and morals from what I've seen.
And of course, since it's Undertale, his soul is more powerful and has accessed to Papyrus's monster magic that's more powerful now with a human soul. I'll also be giving him his canon semblance since it's a power that comes from his human soul and Papyrus magic is that, Magic, which comes from his monster soul. Which again, are fused! I'm pretty sure Magic is independent from semblances in RWBY. Sorry for the long note, on with chapter 2.

We cut back into both Jaune and ruby running into the auditorium, having managed to make it in time before the opening speech. The two slightly out of breath after their panicked search for the room.
"Hey, Ruby!" The little reaper turned her head to see her sister waving at her. Standing near the stage with extra room around her. "Over here, I saved you a spot!"
The small protégé was going to rush over to her before she stopped, looking back at Jaune for a second before coming to a decision.
"Jaune come with me, I want to introduce you to Yang!" Ruby then grabbed him by the arm before excitedly pulling him towards where her sister was standing. The blonde Knight happily going along with it, allowing her to drag him around, or at least try.
As they got close Yang started looking over the guy her little sis had dragged over. While tall, he didn't really look that impressive to her, he looked more on the scrawny side and had a sort of a geeky vibe going on.
That was good though, that meant he wasn't some creeper trying to make any moves on her sis, that meant she wouldn't have to hurt him (yet). Besides, it only made sense that her adorkable sis would latch onto the first other dorky person she could find. So at least she was finally socializing now.
With that last thought, she smiled at ruby and her new companion. "Oh? And who is this? Didn't expect you to already find yourself a boyfriend so soon sis, you work fast." While she would hurt anyone who tried to date her sis, so soon that didn't mean wouldn't tease her over boys. What? It was practically one of her duties as her older sister.
Ruby's reaction was almost immediate, "No, It's not like that! This is Jaune, we met when he helped me up after you had abandoned me and I explode!" She had shouted that last part as she explained to her sister.
"Come on, it can't have been that bad." Yang had obviously taken the exploding comment to be figurative.
"IT WAS! Literally exploded!" Face now slightly red ruby looked over to Jaune for help. "It's true, I found her on the floor outside next to a crater." The knight added over Ruby's shoulder.
With a nod, the little reaper then focused back on her sister, "Yeah, there was this crabby rich girl who's luggage-" She was cut off when said girl walked up behind her. "YOU!" Startled, ruby instinctively jumped into the arms of her older sister out of fear. "Oh god, it's happening again!" Burying her face into her sister's shoulder the little reaper tried to avoid the ice queen's gaze.
Finally, it dawned on yang that her sister was serious. "…oh god, you actually exploded."
As ruby got out of yang's arms Weiss got into her face, "Your reckless behavior nearly blew us off the cliff!" Deciding to stand up her sister Yang got in between the two. "Look, it looks like you two just got off on the wrong foot, why not start over?"
All too happy to fix her bad first impression ruby offered her hand to the Schnee heiress. "Yeah! Hi, I'm ruby want to be friends?"
Looking at her hand with a look of disdain for a second, Weiss face shifted into a fake smile. "Of Course, We can paint each other's nails and talk about cute boys like Tall blond and scraggly over there." Voice dripping with sarcasm Weiss didn't bother keeping up the fake smile when she pointed her thumb at Jaune.
Not noting the obvious sarcasm in the Ice queen's voice ruby excitedly replied, "Really?!"
Weiss just gave her a deadpan look, "N-" Suddenly the blonde knight cut into the conversation. "Nyeheheh! I see that you too are looking to make friends as well!"
Dramatically pointing his gloved finger at the white-haired girl he continued. "Well never fear! For I the great Jaune will also become your friend." Hands proudly placed on his hips, Jaune stood nest Ruby as his scarf once again fluttered in the non-existent wind inside of the auditorium.
"What?" Weiss could only stare at the new blonde nuisance as he kept rambling.
"You see Ruby and I became friends already earlier today, and since you and her are now friends, I will also become your friend!" Jaune explained his logic, really it was so simple. After all, people always said that anyone who was friends with their friend was a friend of theirs.
Smiling with his eyes closed once again Jaune felt proud of himself and his brilliant logic once again. He had made not one, not two, but possibly three new friends today.
Ruby just stood next to Jaune nervously as many of the other students looked at the commotion. Some recognized the weird blonde guy and went back to ignoring him. Yang watched, oddly amused at her sister's weird behavior, she couldn't tell if this guy was serious or just acting to mess with the prissy girl.
Losing her patience, the heiress just made a noise of disgust before promptly turning to leave, causing Ruby to pout silently while Jaune happily waved goodbye at her oblivious to the truth about the situation. "Goodbye new friend! Let us talk again Later!" One guess on which one of them said that.

(Skipping Ozpin's speech)
Jaune was ecstatic, he was doing great, making more friends on his first day of Beacon than he ever did back home! Speaking of which he was going to have his first ever sleepover! Sort of, he'd never really had one, so he wasn't really sure how the worked.
He did know the basic premise though, sleeping in the same room with your friends, sometimes in sleeping bags. Good thing he had prepared just for that!
His sleeping bag still rolled up under his arm Jaune strolled out of the men's room after preparing himself for bed. Quickly spotting Ruby and Yang he went over to them. They were friend's, and friends slept close in sleepovers after all.
The two sisters were in the middle of a sibling fight it seemed as even though they were wrestling the teasing smile Yang's face was enough to tell him it wasn't serious.
Finally noticing him, the two broke up their argument. "Hey Jaune, what's u- What are you wearing?" Yang asked upon seeing Jaune's pajamas. She was able to tell that Jaune was like ruby, dorky and naïve, but even rubes wouldn't wear something as kiddy as that.
You see Jaune was wearing a red, yellow and white onesie that was made to resemble a racers uniform, like one of those Nascar drivers. With the gloves, footies and extra stuffing to give the poor false impression of extra muscle. The onesie resembled a child's Halloween costume more than a set of PJ's.
"Oh, these? They're my Pajama's, my sisters bought them for me." Smiling fondly at the memory of his older siblings buying them for him after he said he wanted a race car. "Anyway, can I set up next to you guys?"
Raising a brow, Yang looks into his eyes for a few seconds, getting a read on him. Satisfied, she gives him a shrug, "Eh, I guess that's fine, don't try anything funny though got it?"
Nodding the blonde knight rolls out his sleeping bag revealing the printed red face of Dustling McKing on the bag, that was designed to resemble the sentient animated racing car. Setting up next to ruby the two socially awkward dorks started an animated conversation, lifting ruby's former bad mood.
Watching this Yang couldn't help the small smile that came to her face, feeling any lingering worries she previously had vanish. This had been what she was hoping for, that ruby would be able to socialize with others like her and make some friends. Coming to a decision Yang decided that she would do her best to make sure that Jaune ended as one of Ruby's teammates.
She had already come to the conclusion that he wouldn't be any danger to her sister's innocence, heck he had the same look of childlike innocence in his eyes that Ruby had. If anything, she might have to look over both of them. Lightly grimacing at the thought having to watch over the two of them all year she shook her head of those last thoughts before focusing back on their conversation.
"I'm telling you, she doesn't want to be friends with us! She probably wants us to stay away from her." Ruby was trying to explain the situation with the Schnee heiress to Jaune.
"Nonsense! I'm sure she's just shy and has trouble communicating with people! I could tell she was like us, she really wants friends as much as we do!" The knight kept trying to tell Ruby, but both refused to accept each other's point of view.
"*Sigh* Never mind, forget about it. Let's do something else." Tired, the young rose wanted to forget about her bad experiences with the Schnee.
"Alright, why don't we introduce ourselves to the others, we'll be classmates and maybe even partners tomorrow, so we should start making friends with them already right?" Ruby's eyes widened in slight panic at Jaune's suggestion.
"A-actually how about instead we-" "Good idea, we can start with that girl over there." Poor reaper didn't get to finish her sentence as her older sister interrupted her, grabbing her by the arm and already dragging her towards a girl in a yukata reading in a corner. Getting up, Jaune followed Yang's lead, walking alongside a struggling Ruby who was trying to dig her heels into the ground.
Looking up from her book Blake could see the group of three making their way towards her. "Yoohoo, helloooo~!" Deciding to focus back on her book Blake could only hope that the blonde girl would take a hint and leave her alone.
"Hi there, names yang, this is my sis Ruby and that's Jaune" Pointing to each of them as she introduced them the two waved at the reading girl, Ruby sending her an apologetic look while Jaune waved excitedly, oblivious to the girl's mood.
"What's your name?" Blake looked at Yang with a bored look. "…Blake." She then went back to her book.
"So… this place is pretty interesting right?" Looking up from her book once again, Blake let a bit of irritation show on her face this time. "It is, almost as interesting as this book. Which I will continue to read once you leave."
Giving up Yang let the friendly smile drop from her face before looking back to Ruby and Jaune. "Yeah this girl is hopeless, let's move on to the next person."
Ignoring her, Ruby takes a step forward, standing in front of the mysterious girl. "What's it about?"
Caught off guard for a second Blake switches her focus to the young girl. "Hm?"
"Your book, what's it about?" Asking again the young rose gave Blake a friendly smile. After a moment of silence, Blake looked from her book then to Ruby again. "…It's about a man with two souls, each one fighting for control over the other."
"Why?" This time both girls were surprised by the sudden question, turning towards Jaune who up till now had been silent. "Why would the two souls be fighting if they're the same person?"
Thinking over the question a bit, she held up her book to show the title to the blonde knight, which read The tale of Doctor Jekyll and . "It's more complicated than that, the two souls only share a body but that's it. Their ideology's, morals and personalities are vastly different, almost to the point of being polar opposites, this generates conflict between them over even the simplest decisions."
Scratching the side of his head in confusion the blonde knight had a hard time imagining a situation like that. "Man, I can't even think of how that would be like. So It's like a hero and a villain trapped in a room or a ship together, right? Man, that would be horrible, I don't want to be forced be part of anything I don't want to do."
Finally letting out a smile Blake gave him a small nod. "It is, that's why I love reading it so much, the two souls are two different people but in a way, they also represent two sides of the same person."
Deciding to cut back into the conversation the young prodigy of the group caught the attention of the two again. "I love books, stories about Heroes and Huntsman saving the day and stopping disaster's."
One brow raised Blake contemplated such a naïve opinion. "Hoping for a happy ending?"
"I'm hoping we all will." Spreading her arms ruby gestured all around her. "That's why we're here right? To make the world a better place."
Moving to stand by her side Jaune pumped his fist, "Yeah!"
"That's certainly an innocent outlook on life." Despite her words, Blake still couldn't help but smile at the idea.
"awe!" this was the reaction of Yang hearing Ruby's words. This led to the two sisters fighting again as Yang started to pinch Ruby's cheeks. "Yang, Knock it off!"
"Excuse me!" The sisters were interrupted as the Schnee heiress appeared again. "What's with all this racket, some of us are trying to sleep you know." Hands placed on her hips ice queen scowled at the sisters.
"FRIEND!" With a wide grin on his face and arms up in the air the blonde knight greeted the heiress. Breaking eye contact from the sisters Weiss spared him a deadpan glare. "No."
Deciding to take the initiative ruby stepped up to handle the situation.
"Hey! He's just trying to be nice!" Honestly, she acted like he had ruined her favorite dress or something.
"Well if he wants to be nice to me then he can do me a favor by staying away from me and taking you with him." At this Yang lost her patience with the heiress.
"What's your problem with Jaune and my sister!?" Balking dramatically Weiss gestured towards Ruby. "My problem!? My problem is that SHE is a danger to my health, and HE is an annoyance!" At this, she shifts her finger from pointing at Ruby to Jaune.
"She already said it was an accident, and he was just trying to be nice!" Getting the heiress's face Yang and Weiss began to argue.
"Oh no, this is my fault isn't it?" Feeling guilty at seeing her sister having to stand up for her and for having someone already hate her on her first day. Eyes downcast, her thoughts were interrupted by the weight of a hand plopping on her shoulder.
Looking over her shoulder the little reaper could see the hand was Jaune. Giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze Jaune gave her the best smile he could. "It's fine Ruby. Don't worry, by tomorrow they'll both have calmed down and we can get off to a better start." With that the gave her a wink and a thumbs up before heading over to his sleeping bag.
Thinking over his words for a moment ruby decided that he had a point. With one last worried glance towards the arguing pair, Ruby made her way to her own sleeping bag.
This left Blake with the Yang and Weiss still arguing near her corner. With a sigh, the Ninja girl decided to blow out the wax candle she had been using. This caused the room to darken, with the last source of life being snuffed out.
The first day at beacon over Jaune let himself doze off as he let sleep take him.

Again, sorry it took so long to update. Also, I just want to address a few more things, specifically what the ship will be. I think it's a little too early for anyone to crush on each other, (unless your Pyrrha) so I will hold off on it for now. This will not be a harem story, but there will be multiple girls interested in him, but not a lot though.
In the future, I might set up a poll if I haven't decided on my own who to ship Jaune with. If that Happens, I will provide a list of girls you all can vote on. Be warned, your favorite girl might not be on the list because I already decided Jaune and her will be just friends.
On the bright side however, I will set up a different poll right now. You all can decide whether or not I should bring another Undertale character into the story and even which one. Vote in the poll I set up If I should do it or not and what character you want. Will it be Sans? Chara? Undyne? You all can vote and depending on who wins I'll add them later on the story. Could take a few chapters though so please have patience.
