*A/N* this chapter has two songs, the first song is just edited but the second song should have been the update but I did not get to finish. So enjoy :)
The next morning, after eating their breakfast. Teams RWBY and NPR continued watching the videos.
"So, who will pick next?" asked Ruby
"Oh! Me! Me! Me!" Nora volunteered
But as she was about to pick Yang intervenes saying,
"Hey! You picked already."
"But I want to pick." argued Nora
Seeing their partners about to argue, Blake and Ren stopped them. Seeing Ren calm Nora down, Pyrrha makes a suggestion.
"What about Ren gets to pick now?" suggested Pyrrha
Noticing that out of all the people in the room Ren was the only one that has not yet pick a song, the others agreed.
Ren stood up and began picking a song, while picking, he notices a folder entitled 'ARC'. Curiously he began to choose, seeing a video titled 'Awake and Alive' he decided to play it.
"What did you pick?" asked Ruby excitedly
"Something titled Awake and Alive." answered Ren
Seeing as the video is about to start the others began paying attention to the video. The first thing that they heard is what seems to be a violin, immediately after that the song starts to pick up showing them that the song is a rock song.
I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
As they hear the lyrics, the viewers grow confused and concerned for the blonde knight. But they can't help feel pumped about the song.
"I don't know what his words meant but I feel pumped." stated Yang as she likes the song.
"It is quite pleasant but I can't help but think the lyrics mean something." Weiss said
Blake can feel that she can relate to the lyrics of the song due to her being a Faunus. She also noticed that the last few lyrics were sung by a girl.
"Who do you guys think sang this with Jaune?" asked Blake curiously.
When Blake asked the question the others became curious of who is Jaune's partner in singing.
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
When they heard the chorus of the song, their confusion grew but continued watching as they feel pumped up due to the song.
I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
While their confusion grew, they become entranced by the song. They were at awe how well Jaune sang the song with the girl. Pyrrha is quite jealous that Jaune is willing to sing with this girl while they only find out that the blonde knight can sing last night.
'Who is that girl?' questioned Pyrrha in thought
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
As they hear the next lyrics, they came to a conclusion that the song was about to end.
In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
As the song began to fade to end, no sound is made. That is until Nora screams,
"THAT WAS AWESOME!"
Even though he enjoyed the song, Ren calms down Nora.
"I agree I quite like the song." Ren stated agreeing with Nora after calming her down.
"I admit I also like the song." stated Weiss surprising the others.
Seeing the surprised looks, she asked
"What?"
"Well Weiss-cream it is surprising that you liked something Vomit boy made." stated Yang gaining a glare from Weiss because of her nickname.
Hearing that, Weiss huffs and said,
"Well Xiao Long. I happen to appreciate music if I heard one. Thank you very much." stated Weiss irritated
While Yang and Weiss are arguing, Ruby brought up a question that was bugging her during the song.
"Who do you guys think the girl that Jaune sang with?" asked Ruby curiously
When they heard the question, everyone quiet down as they are also curious who the blonde knight was singing with.
"There must be a description of who the girl is in Jaune's scroll." said Pyrrha curiously and slightly jealous.
Seeing as the others are curious they began to search the scroll for information. When they found none, they were about to give up. When they were about to stop their search, Ren had an idea of looking at the description of the folder in which he found the song. What he found said,
Songs I made with my sisters.
Seeing this, Ren ushered the others and showed the description.
Pyrrha felt relieved to find that the girl Jaune sang with is his sister. Unknown to her some of the other girls also felt relieved.
"So who's next?" asked Yang
Seeing no one is volunteering Pyrrha stands up and picks a song. As she was picking, the others continue to discuss what their thoughts about the previous song are.
"I know we established that Jaune can sing pretty well from the previous songs, but you got to wonder how Vomit Boy can compose the lyrics to these songs." Stated Yang.
"I know, right?" agreed Ruby.
"It is quite a mystery how the dunce come up with these songs." Said Weiss agreeing with Yang.
"Do you think Fearless Leader will sing to us Renny?" asked Nora excitedly.
"Maybe we can ask him." responded Ren.
Pyrrha who was still picking, found a song titled, "Just the way you are". Curious about the song, she decided to play it. Seeing Pyrrha picked a song, the others settled down to listen to the song. The first thing they saw was a girl listening to an old music player, then a hand took the music player removed the tape that the player contains.
"Well that was rude." Stated Weiss
Then the camera shows that the person who took the player was Jaune. When the girls saw Jaune, they blushed seeing his outfit. Yang being the most vocal stated,
"Damn, look at Vomit Boy. We should take Jaune for shopping some new clothes."
The others agreed to the blonde bombshell.
The video continues to play, showing Jaune took the cassette and unravels the parts (*A/N*I don't know what the part of the cassette that is called. Just watch the music video of just the way you are by Bruno mars on YouTube to know what I am talking about.), then the music starts to play. While the music is playing, the screen shows that Jaune is spelling his name, then changes to the title of the song 'Just the way you are'.
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say
Hearing the first part of the lyrics, Pyrrha blushed. It seems the song that she picked is a love song. She hoped that the song is about her. Unknown to her, some of the girls also blushed.
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change 'cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
As the song progress, Pyrrha's heart beats faster and faster. She seriously hoped that the song was dedicated to her. The others are also at awe at Jaune's talent. The song is well made which made them wonder to whom did Jaune dedicated the song.
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday
Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say
When they heard the next verse of the song, their curiosity of the person that Jaune dedicated the song to increased.
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
The video ended with a portrait of a girl that oddly resembles Pyrrha. Pyrrha, after seeing the portrait blushed profusely to the point her face is almost the same color of her hair. The first to broke of their daze was Ruby,
"That was so beautiful." With a tears on her eyes and a blush on her face.
The others agreed wholeheartedly with the red reaper. Yang seeing an opportunity to tease the red amazon, even if there is a small pang of jealousy she felt when she saw the portrait.
"It seems Vomit Boy is not as dense as he seems to be, am I right P-money?" asked Yang while nudging Pyrrha who blushed more.
"Teasing of Xiao Long aside, I think the song is well made." Stated Weiss.
Blake who was silent the whole time has her thoughts running to different scenarios that she found on her book. Causing her to have a slight nosebleed. Quickly wiping off any traces of blood on her nose, she agreed with Weiss' statement that the song was good.
"I agree with Weiss, the song is beautiful. Even the video is beautiful. Though the ending is quite a surprise." Said Blake.
Nora ever the most energetic of the group exclaimed, "The song was awesome! Do you think Jaune-Jaune knows of Pyrrha's crush on him Renny?"
"I don't know Nora. Maybe we can see a description about the song." Responded Ren.
The others hearing Ren's response, search for the description about the song. After a few minutes of searching, they finally saw the description, it states:
Pyrrha, you may be famous, a 4-time champion or a
Goddess of victory for all I care.
To me, you are just Pyrrha Nikos, my partner and friend and
I like you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE…
