[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

Looks like Yangs weak to Kabedon.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

It took a few days for things to get better. RWBY and JNPR went off into Vale to help with clean up and aid. They even visited the Children's Hospital to see Ginger.

Ginger: "Jaune! Ruby!"

Jaune: "Hey!"

Ruby: "HEYAH!"

Ruby hugs Ginger. Jaune hugs her next.

Ginger: "Thank you for saving me! You're both the coolest!"

Jaune: "Thanks! You were very brave too, you know?"

Ruby: "Yeah! You only threw up once!"

Ginger's mother show up-An attractive older woman with ginger hair.

Ginger's Mom: "Oh thank you, thank you, both of you!" She hugged Ruby... Then hugged Jaune for much longer. "You-You saved my little girl!"

Jaune: "Er, well, it was a team effort ma'am."

Ginger's Mom: "Oh please, I'm-I'm not that old! Ma'am!"

Jaune: "Um, Miss?"

Ginger's Mom: blush "Oh my~..."

Jaune's Brain: Oh shit, it still works on MILFS?!

Ruby, thankfully, was on the case. She pulled Jaune away and pushed him out the door.

Ruby: "We'll see you later Ginger! And her mom!"

Ginger: "Do-Do you think I could be a great Hunter like you two some day?"

Jaune: smiles "Totally..."

Ginger: "HEE!"

Ruby pushed him out. Jaune sighed as they went down a hallway towards a maintenance area.

Jaune: "Thank you... That was getting weird-"

Ruby then shoved him by his shoulders against the wall. She glared up into his eyes.

Ruby: "Jaune..." Her eyes glowed "I've checked around. There's nobody, and I'm wearing a jammer system."

Jaune: "Is that why I've heard a buzzing sound? Is it gonna interfere with the medical equipment-?"

Ruby: "Jaune... I... I need to know about the future."

Jaune's Brain: Oh boy...

Ruby: "I... Look, I'm not great at social stuff but I've seen you look at me. Like you were so sad. And-And you've been my best friend and... And I just... I have to know!"

Jaune: "Ruby. That future isn't going to happen. I will never let it happen. We won't let it happen-!"

Ruby: "But I have to know! I have to... I mean... W-Were you my friend then too?"

Jaune takes her hands between his and looks her right in her silver eyes.

Jaune: "Ruby... There will never be a timeline where we aren't best friends. Where I don't love you."

Ruby: bright red "J-J-JAUNE!"

Jaune: "So we were best friends."

Ruby: "So... What happened? What are you so sad about?"

Jaune: "A LOT of things made me sad about the future, Ruby! There was no limit! Why do you want to know-?"

Ruby: "I-I just want to know! I just..." She closed her eyes "I just... I have to know."

Jaune: "But..."

Ruby: "Please Jaune?"

Jaune: "You won't... You just..."

Ruby: "Did... Did I hurt you? Did I... Did I break your heart? Did I... Did I...?" Her eyes began to fill with tears

Jaune's Brain: Goddamnit... How do I put this and explain it?! The explanation is that the writing was terrible and her character development was reset every damn season until she killed her duplicate and reset her character AGAIN! Come on, think, think...!

Jaune: "... Ruby. You took on everything. You tried to be strong for everyone. You kept going no matter what and... And it weighed on you. It hurt you to keep going. At some point, you couldn't... Couldn't take it anymore. You just weren't able to handle all the pain, the loss, the heartbreak, and you... You..."

Ruby: sniffles "... Did I... Break?"

Jaune: "... Yes. Yes, you did. It's complicated and involves magic stuff but you... Basically killed yourself. Or rather you killed a copy of your darkness and bad memories and reset yourself."

Ruby: confused "... Eh?"

Jaune: "I don't really get it myself... " Mainly because the fucking writers sure as hell didn't... He sighs "Look... The point is? That's not going to happen. Because we're not going to let it happen, okay?"

Ruby: "I... Y-Yeah..."

Jaune hugged her tightly. She hugged him back.

Jaune: wince "I didn't want to tell you because... Because I don't want to hurt you, Ruby. I want to help you. But... Not talking to you in the old timeline is what made things go so wrong and... Sorry... God, I made everything worse..."

Ruby: takes a deep breath "No! No... I... I mean... I'm realizing there's a lot I just don't know about... About so much. I've had to keep a lot inside because... Because I wanted Yang and Dad to be happy. Because I've had to keep the team going. Because... A lot of things."

Jaune: "Then let me make things clear, okay? You can talk to me about anything. Absolutely anything. I will never judge you, Ruby. I won't."

Ruby: "W-Well... Okay. Not now though, I..." shakes her head "I can't do it now."

Jaune: "No, I get it." pats her on the head "But I swear... We will get through this together. All of us."

Ruby: "... And you? What happened to you?"

Jaune: "... I'm... Not ready to talk about that either."

Ruby: nods "I-I get it... But I'm here for you too."

Jaune: smiles "I know. Thank you, Crater Face."

Ruby: pouts "Ugh... Did you have to ruin it like that, Vomit Boy?"

Jaune: "Pretty much!"

Ruby: "Ugh... You don't have any kids but you make so many Dad jokes!"

Jaune: "So, I'm a bit premature? Like a baby?"

Ruby: "UGGGHHH! You're lucky I love you!"

Jaune: "I know."

Securing Vale, aid missions, and schoolwork dominated Jaune's time. There was a lot to do, and being a team leader meant he had a LOT of work. Being seen as a hero by Vale also didn't help. He went on a good will mission on his own into Vale, something Ozpin personally requested of him. It mostly consisted of going around and shaking hands with a lot of politicians-Including Cardin's dad, Rufus Winchester.

Rufus: "So... You hooked my son up with his fiance, did you?"

Jaune: wince "Um... Yes sir?"

Rufus: "..." laughs "HAHAHA! You thought I was going to be angry, didn't you?"

Jaune: "Er, well-"

Rufus: "I only have issues with the White Fang, son. And I've met her! She's a wonderful girl and while it's early? I know my son will be a good husband and father. So thanks! Looking forward to the wedding!"

Jaune: "Yes sir..."

It took a while... But finally, Jaune was done. He sighed as he walked towards the Bullhead pads in Vale... When an attractive older lady with lavender hair, yellow eyes and in a black suit with purple blouse practically jumps him and shoves a microphone into his face.

Lisa: "Lisa Lavender, VNN! Jaune Arc, have you any comment on the terrorist attack on Vale's gates?"

Jaune: "No."

Lisa: "Is it true you were the one to sound the alarm and got the evacuation started?"

Jaune: "Yes."

Lisa: "How did you know what was going to happen? Do you have a precognitive Semblance?"

Jaune: blandly "I just saw the warning from Professor Oobleck, and since I didn't know he'd sent out the message to every billboard in the city, I decided to be safe than sorry. I just got lucky."

Lisa: "And perhaps the biggest question on the mind of many young ladies in Vale: Are you single?"

Jaune: "No."

Lisa: "Are you taking after your great-grandfather and starting a harem?"

Jaune: "Wha-No!"

Lisa: "Are you sure-?"

Jaune: "Yes!"

Lisa: sultry smile "Sure I couldn't change your mind~?"

Jaune smiles as he steps on the Bullhead. He turns around, still smiling. He leans in closer to Lisa, who leans in too...

Jaune: "Absolutely. Bye!"

He pulls back and slams the door shut in her face. Jaune sighs and rubs his face.

Jaune: "Ugh... Reporters are the worst in any universe..."

He made it to Beacon. He steps off. He gets a call on his Scroll to meet in the ballroom. He blinks, then shrugs.

Jaune: "All right... Hope it's not another meeting with Ozpin, I'm so done..."

He wanders into the ballroom. It's dark. Jaune frowns, rests a hand on his sword... The lights go up.

Everyone: "SURPRISE!"

Jaune starts. His friends, his mom and dad, Arjun and Saia, and even some of his sisters have shown up. There's a large cake on the table, and presents... And a motorcycle.

Jaune: "I... Guys...!"

Yang: "HA! Happy birthday, Stud!" She hugs and kisses him "Mmm~!"

Jaune: "Mwah! Oh... Heh... I actually forgot."

Isabel: "You forgot?!"

Nick: "Poor Jaune!" he hugs him "My poor son! Too much work has destroyed his brains!"

Jaune: "Oof!"

Ruby: "We gotta party right now to save his brains!"

Weiss: "Wait! Ahem... I believe there is a tradition of... Birthday kisses in Vale."

Blake: "Oh?"

Pyrrha: "Y-Yes! I believe so!"

Yang: growls

Nick: "HAHAHA! Easy Yang, easy!"

Ruby: "Yeah!" She kisses Jaune's cheek "See? That's all!"

Yang: "That had better be all-"

Blake kisses Jaune very deeply.

Yang: "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Blake: "Mwah! Sorry." Smirks and dashes away

Yang: "DAMNIT BLAKE!"

Weiss: "Ahem..." She stands on tiptoe and kisses Jaune's cheek "Don't think too much of it!"

Jaune: "Uh... No, I-I'm not."

Pyrrha hesitates... Looks to Yang for permission...

Yang: sighs "... Fine."

Pyrrha: beams, and kisses Jaune on the lips "Thank you..."

Jaune: "S-Sure thing...?"

Nora: "WHEE!" lands on Jaune

Jaune: "URK!"

Nora: "Thanks Bro-Bro!" kisses the top of his head

Tangy walks up and pulls Jaune up with a small laugh

Tangy: "Still getting bowled over, huh little bro?"

Jaune: "Hey Tangy. When did you get here?"

Tangy: "Got hired on for extra security. You've been doing... Okay, I suppose. But you could always be better."

Jaune: "I know. Thank you."

Tangy: "Anyway, my gift is the best..." Eyes Yang with a raised eyebrow "Well. Second best. But I think Dad wants you to see his."

Nick: "I DO!" Nick drags Jaune over to the new motorcycle "What do you think? A Fenrir 2010! Small and lighter than mine, but still powerful!"

Jaune: "Wow... R-Really?" Looks at Isabel "You're cool with this mom?"

Isabel: smiles "You are growing up, Jaune. And besides! If you're going to keep being a Huntsman, you're going to need every edge you can get."

Yang: "Ohhh wow... Your parents are the greatest!"

Jaune: "Yeah... yeah, they are." smiles warmly. He sniffles and wipes his eyes.

Lilac: "Oh no! Poor Jaune! You're overwhelmed with emotion and crying!"

Jaune: "What?! N-No! I'm just, I mean..." sighs and smiles "Okay fine. I am."

Yang: "Heh. You could just say it's liquid pride leaving the eyes."

Nick: "Hey! I say that too!"

Ruby: "Hee!" Steals another kiss off Jaune's cheek "Don't cry, Jaune! You haven't even seen my gift!"

Jaune: "I... Thank you!"

So it goes. The gifts are opened, the cake is had, and many fun stories are shared.

Nick: "He tried to pet the Grimm! Right then and there! He said it looked 'sad'!"

Much laughter. Jaune sighs and shrugs.

Jaune: "I was five, dad!"

Isabel: "Yes, and your father was very stupid to show you a captive Grimm, even if it was well outside the walls!"

Nick: "He wanted to see! And anyway, I killed it when it tried to snap at him."

Isabel: sighs "Yes..." fond smile

Jaune: "But yeah... This... This has been great. Thank you everyone. I-I mean it..." grins "I got so busy I just... Forgot. Thank you for not letting me forget."

Isabel: "We would never forget you, Jaune."

Ruby: "Not ever!"

Pyrrha: "Never."

Weiss: "You're far too annoying to forget."

Blake: "I owe you too much." smiles

Ren: "We are best friends."

Nora: "And we're family now!"

Lilac: "Family always."

Yang is quiet, smiling warmly.

Yang: "So... You gonna take me for a ride on your new bike?"

Jaune: "I... Yeah. I think I will."

There is some wolf whistling and catcalls (and several annoyed girls), but Jaune gets on his bike, and Yang gets on back. He drives off, going around the Beacon grounds. The broken moon is shining brightly overhead, along with the stars. They come to a stop at a rocky outcropping with a great view of the city beyond.

Yang: snickers "You really forgot it was your birthday?"

Jaune: sighs "Yeah... Again. It's felt like the weight of the world's been on my shoulders, what with... Everything."

Yang: "Mm..." hugs him "Well... Just don't forget that you're not alone. We're all in this together."

Jaune: smiles and turns to hug her back "I won't... And I'm sorry about the other girls and well-"

Yang: "Nah... I mean, I'm still not happy, but... Well..." smiles and hugs him tightly "... I know you would never stray."

Jaune: "Never." strokes her hair "I'd never abandon you, Yang."

Yang: sucks in a deep breath "... And I'll never abandon you, either. Especially not after..."

Jaune: "What?"

Yang: "... The night after the Breach? My mom stopped by in the Elphaba Gardens. I couldn't sleep, and... I guess I was drawn there. She told me something bad was going to happen... And that she was giving me the chance to come with her. To truly be strong."

Jaune: "... And?"

Yang: "I said no. She then said..." She tightened her grip on him "She said she'd give me another chance... Just one. After that? I'd be too... Too far gone. Too weak."

Jaune's Brain: So that's what that last scene was all about... Monty didn't finish it in our world...

Jaune: "... I'm glad you stayed."

Yang: smiles and nuzzles him "Me too... But that big thing-?"

Jaune: "We'll stop it. I promise."

Yang: nods "I know..."

They look up at the stars together in silence...

Jaune: "So uh... You... Had a gift for me?"

Yang: "..." sexy smile

Jaune's Brain: Oh boy...

Happy Birthday, Jaune!

Isabel and Jaune are chatting a bit over tea and cookies.

Isabel: "You are doing pretty well in your classes... Though you did very poorly at the start!"

Jaune: sighs "Yeah, I did. Mainly because someone didn't let me study or train to be a Huntsman!"

Isabel: flush "... Parents do make mistakes... But honestly, could you fault me for wanting to protect my baby boy and want him to be safe and helping the world?"

Jaune: "... Kind of, yeah?"

Isabel: crushed, depressed, super gloomy

Jaune's Brain: Oh shit I said that out loud! "N-No, I mean... Mom, I get why you wanted me to be a doctor and all! But Mom... That's not what I wanted. I wanted to be a hero, like you and Dad! And I know it's gonna suck and I know you want through a lot but... You went through that to save other people. And that's what I want to do, too."

Isabel: "Well... Um... I get that. And... Well... You can handle yourself. Somewhat well..."

Jaune: "I'll get better, I promise. Besides... You can't protect me forever."

Isabel: sighs "That is true. Still... You were so reckless!"

Jaune: "Yeah, I know."

Isabel: sighs "I had hoped you would take more after me, but you took after your father."

Jaune: "Mom, you literally overthrew a government in a violent revolution."

Isabel: blush "W-Well, um... It was the right thing to do?"

Jaune: "Uh huh."

Pyrrha: "AHEM."

Pyrrha, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Nora and Ren are there. Glaring at Isabel.

Isabel: "... Something I can help you with?"

Ruby: "Yeah! You made Jaune want to hurt himself!"

Pyrrha: "You made him contemplate suicide!"

Yang: "He thought he was worthless and had no chance in his life!"

Isabel: "HE WHAT?! YOU WHAT?!"

Jaune: "NO! Nonono, it's fine, it's fine! It uh, it was um-!"

Isabel: hugs him tightly "MY POOR BABY! YOU WERE SUFFERING ALL THIS TIME IN SILENCE AND I FAILED TO NOTICE! I'M SO SORRY, SWEETIE! UWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Jaune's Brain: Me and my big mouth...!

Well Jax and Gill are the Jaune mirror/foil so them being the monsters of Vacuo and Gill being the bigger monster of the 2 while only loving her brother who hates her [thought the books are only semi canon...

Gill being the monstrous sibling that 'loves' her bro Jax, just like AFO does his brother would be interesting. And is the one to put the 'He is destined to be king' into his head cause of his semblance would be interesting

love the idea Jaune no sells Jax semblance cause he either will not betray his friends or just no sells it from the EverAfter BS he's been through

Or alternatively Salem has tried to make them several times, but every time it either didn't work or when one of them was able to mind control infect something, they immediately tries to infect her too, and because they keep the host alive, they're an actual danger to her, so she eventually scrapped the whole project alltogether.

Not sure she'd make Fungi Grimm since I don't think she'd make plant Grimm either and Grimm kinda need to be mobile to be effective. There could always be Grimm parasites that influence or control people but those might be too biologically complex for Salem to make while being able to control them. Grimm tapeworms and the like would be horrifying though with how small they all are.

Small point, but Fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.

Yes, only they are pretty immobile. Have we seen any fungal style Grimm before, or are they exclusively mobile threats? I'd imagine she might have tried them in the past but their infection vectors weren't viable against Hunters/Huntresses with active Aura and the means of distributing them was likely incredibly inefficient or easily countered. A forest made of Grimm plants would be an incredible fortress but unlikely able to do much more than that.

Come to think of it, would she even be able to make or control something that small and in the numbers needed? If so why would she even need Beowolves when Grimm spores or Grimm tapeworms or even Grimm mosquitoes would be able to more effectively kill off humanity?

Jacque schnee is a man of business.
His meals? Business deals.
His vacations? Doesn't take them.
His family? Relationships so fucked he doesn't know how to fix it Assets and wonderful PR.

But even Jacque needs to relax sometimes, after all running the largest company in the world is stressful.
It just so happens that his relaxation is also business.

You Jacque has a secret. He's got a double life. When being him gets too stressful he takes a month or two for a "Business retreat".

Coincidentally down in mantel the owner of a junk yard and pawn shop comes down to visit.

Jolly jacks Junk Junction isn't big, it isn't rolling in profits, hell most months it barely breaks even.

What it is however is the only business in Mantel that can boast a 100% approval rating.

Jolly Jack lives up to his name, always friendly and with a smile hidden behind his fake big bushy beard.

Mantel loves him, they just wish he'd stay around for more than a few months a year but he's apparently got family somewhere that he can't leave for long.

Shame. But they're lucky to have him.

(Willow and the kids are convinced he's cheating. If they knew the truth they'd actually be MORE emotionally devastated.)

Yes, it is!

Also, some prompts before I go to bed:

-Jaune wants to change himself so he's not just the loser who got stuck in a tree. Pyrrha's training has helped, but she's holding back. So Jaune asks Yang for help. Which she obliges. They bond through the training, enough that Yang starts to see something new in Vomit Boy...

-Ruby asks Jaune to go with Yang on her jaunts so she's less reckless. Jaune... Does not have a good time. But he does manage to impress Yang enough to listen to him. And make out with him, but hey.

-Jaune is aware of Pyrrha's crush on him. He has seven sisters, it would be difficult for him to miss it. But he's not sure he can actually tell Pyrrha he knows but doesn't feel the same way. He doesn't want to ruin their relationship. So he needs to date someone else! If he's taken, she'll let him go... Right?

-Ruby ropes Jaune into being her guinea pig for her new weapons. Jaune... Is not happy.

-Jaune sees Yang pulling some pranks... And his inner Evil Sibling is awakened once again. He thought he'd put it away, but now? He's gonna let loose and have fun. And now Yang is afraid she's awakened a monster. A prank monster.

-Cardin is trying to make things up to Velvet. Really! Truly! And they are getting closer. There's just one issue... He hates carrots. Seriously, he hates them. He assumes she loves them so he tries to eat them for her... Only it turns out she hates them too.

Cardin: "... Marry me."

Velvet: "Eh?!"

-Nora decides that if Pyrrha's not gonna make a move on Jaune, she'll arrange for various girls to end up in romantic comedy situations with him to get Pyrrha moving! Cupid Nora is on the case! Jaune will seem like such a massive babe magnet that Pyrrha will HAVE to make a move on him! It's FOOLPROOF!

-Nora finds out Jaune is the Huntsman. And she's totally fine with keeping it secret... If she and Ren can become superheroes too! What could possibly go wrong?

-Blake learns Jaune dated a hot catgirl Faunus back in Radian... And yet he's never so much as made a pass at her? Or paid her a compliment? Or drooled over her like Sun? What gives?!

-Weiss learns that Jaune's been hiding his legacy and heritage from everyone. In truth, it's because of his pride: He wants to make this on his own and forge his own legend. However, Weiss mistakenly believes he was planted in Beacon by his family to get closer to her. Well, two can play at this game!

Understand this is the first time I've written dialog, so bear with me as it's a little rough. It's even rougher than most since I don't have an editor so this is all just me. However, while I would normally say go easy on me, I need to get better at this kind of thing; so long as it's not mean spirited, tear this "One-shot" to shreds. Without further ado I give you:

Canon RWBY meets "In The Family Way" RWBY

Somewhere in the Commercial District of Vale

A bright flash of light emerges from an empty alley, in its wake is a disoriented OG Team RWBY, having just traveled dimensions once more.

"Eugh, I don't think I'll ever get used to that," Blake says, leaning into the alley wall and trying her best not to empty her stomach from the smell of the dumpster nearby.

"Tell me about it. Any idea where we're now?" Weiss responds, equally repulsed by where they've arrived.

"Pretty sure we're in Vale," Yang explains, pointing off to Beacon Castle in the distance. "Guess your minds still a bit mushy after all that flirting you did with cowboy Jaune eh Ice Queen?"

"Why you! How Dare! Urgh!," Weiss stumbles out, embarrassed by the notion that she a Schnee would stoop to such levels of depravity…though he did look quite mature, she thinks to herself before quickly parishing the thought. Unfortunately, not quick enough if Yang's knowing grin is anything to go by. "Oh just you wait Xiao-Long, in one of these realities is going to an Arc that gets you as flustered as me!"

"First off, good on you for finally being honest with yourself, and secondly, in your dreams ice queen. I'll admit that Raptor Jaune was pretty cool, and Cowboy Jaune was fairly handsome, but most of the other Jaunes we've met have been normal as far as our Jaune goes. So no, I don't think you'll be seeing me getting flustered by a Jaune anytime soon."

"Carefully what you wish for Yang," Blake sarcastically retorts.

Before Yang can retort, they are interrupted by an ecstatic Ruby holding up her scroll.

"Okay, Team RWBY thanks to your glorious leader having planned ahead in the previous reality, I have just finished successfully hacking into this world's version of my scroll. With that information we can use it to find this world's version of us, get them up to speed on what's happening, hopefully prevent any future catastrophes, and be one step closer to finding our Jaune!"

"When did you have the time to do this?" says a confused Weiss.

"A couple realities ago, when I linked up with Penny, she suggested that this would be the most efficient way of going about things going forward. I didn't use it until now because we weren't ever near a powerful enough CCT connection for it to work properly."

Ruby bashfully shrugs while Weiss gives an exasperated sigh.

"So what did you find out?" asks a curious Blake.

"Oh!" says Ruby as she pulls out her scroll again. "It says here that I have a pretty packed schedule today. Something about grocery shopping for Yang while she's at the doctor's. I guess this world's Yang is sick with something though it looks like a routine check-up given how I've labeled it. Other than that, based on the texts, our others are all over the place today."

"With our others spread out to Breaker knows where, it will be tremendously difficult to find and explain our situation to ourselves before the portal inevitably opens up and we need to leave again," states a concerned Weiss.

"Cool, so all we gotta do is split up and look around," pipes up Yand before snickering, "I guess you could say that's one way to find ourselves."

"UGH!" groans the rest of Team RWBY.

"Yang's awful puns aside, I don't think splitting up would be the best idea, there's no telling how different this world is to our original for all we know, despite what it says on Ruby's scroll, we could be wanted criminals," says Weiss after getting over terrible jokes.

Yang scoffs, "You got a better idea Weissy, cause it's not like we're just gonna conveniently bump into one of ourselves right off the street."

Before Weiss can retort, they hear a squeak from Ruby, and as they turn to look at her, become shocked by what they see. Ruby, wanting to get out of the smelly alley, bumps into a familiar-looking Blonde Swordsman of theirs.

"Not one word," says a disgruntled Yang to a smug looking Weiss.

Back with Ruby and the now identified Jaune of this reality, we see him apologize for bumping into her, not noticing at first that this is Ruby.

"Oh! I am so sorry I didn't see you there. Kinda got lost in thought for a second," Jaune says abashedly while rubbing the back of his neck, "Here let me help you…Ruby?"

"Oh ah hey Jaune fancy meeting you here now huh," Ruby says awkwardly.

"Yeah, fancy meeting you here too, but aren't you supposed to be with Nora and Ren making sure they don't go overboard when buying this week's groceries?" questions Jaune, "Did you finish early? Cause if you've got nothing planned for right now, I could always use a hand for some of the stuff on my list, and besides it's been a while since just the two of us hung out with me being busy these past couple of months and all."

"Yup, that sounds great Jaune, but before that I've got something I need to tell you, just promise not to freak out, okay," pleads a nervous Ruby as she gestures to the rest of OG Team RWBY.

"Why would I…Oh hey guys what are you all … doing … here?" Jaune begins to trail off after seeing a very different Yang before him.

"What's wrong, Vomit Boy? I know I'm quite stunning, but even this is a bit much." teases OG Yang.

Jaune remains silent despite OG Yang's teasing as OG Yang and the rest of OG Team RWBY become increasingly more worried for their friend's well-being as he stands near motionless before them. However, before they try to shake Jaune out of his stupor, he slowly and apprehensively approaches OG Yang. OG Team RWBY remains where they are, curious as to what this world's Jaune does next, but ready if he does anything untoward to their teammate. Jaune having reached OG Yang hesistantly places a gentle hand on her stomach and starts tapping on it with his palm as if testing for something that he knows should be there but isn't. After having confirmed that what he is seeing or in this instance not seeing is true, Jaune slowly backs away and his hands start to shake, his breath quickening, and eyes darting quickly along his surroundings fully taking in his friends appearances for the first time.

"You know, you really should buy a girl dinner first before you start to get handsy with her," Yang says, breaking the silence before pointing to her stomach, "But I've got a gut feeling that something more is going on here. So tell me what's going on Jaune cause you're starting to scare me a little."

This seems to break Jaune out of his funk, "OH! Oh! Ohhhhh! Uhhhhh!" Looks at OG Yang and the rest of OG Team RWBY staring back at him expectantly, "excuse-moi une minute."

OG Team RWBY watches Jaune walk away for a second and start fiddling with his scroll. After a moment or two, it picks up and from behind Jaune they can hear other Yang's voice on the other end of the call, but not so much what she's saying.

"Hey Honey, It's me…Yeah…No no it's nothing serious just curious is all if you're still at your check-up?... Uh huh…Yeah, I had a feeling listen it's nothing you need to worry about right now, but if and when you have the time, could you and Pyrrha gather the rest of our teams and meet me in Ozpin's office? Again, nothing major, but I just feel it would be best to explain everything once everyone is together, you understand right?" Jaune says to Yang over the phone, "Ah huh…Yeah…I-I'll meet you there…I love you too, see you soon."

"Be honest with me, is this a Nora drank coffee kinda bad or a Nora we're out of Pancakes kind of bad?," Jaune says as he turns back to OG Team RWBY, "Or is it even worse, a Yang got a haircut kind of bad? Breaker help us if it's all three."

"More like a X-ray and Vav issue #123 kind of bad," Ruby responds.

"Oh, so it's a Pyrrha lost the last chocolate pudding cup to someone else kind of bad? Got it," Jaune says back, worry etched into his face, "Well, no time like the present, let's get you all to Ozpin, see if he can't clear all this up." Jaune pulls out his scroll and says, "I'm just gonna make a few more calls to ensure everything is set up for when we get to his office. Quick question, have you guys met my parents yet? Their visiting, so they'll likely be there."

The conversation trails off as Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss discuss the specifics of the upcoming meeting while heading toward the bull-head docks. Blake is hanging back with Yang wanting to check up on her as she's been unnaturally quiet since Jaune's scroll call.

"Yang, you okay?" Blake asks concernedly.

"Huh Wha? Nah I'm good… How are you? That was some pretty weird stuff back there after all," Yang responds, trying and failing miserably to hide her attempts at changing the subject.

Blake looking unamusedly at Yang says, "Really? That's how you're gonna change the subject?"

"Yeah, I'll admit not my best work, but can you blame me? You heard what other Jaune said back there. It's one thing to hear from the other versions of me that they carry somewhat of a torch for him. It's another thing to see a version of me in a relationship with him. I mean, we barely even talked much in our world, all this is pretty surreal, it makes you think what if?" Yangs says despondently.

"Yeah I sorta get what you mean. Infinite universes and infinite possibilities mean that there's bound to be some of them where they end up like this for just about any of us. I'll admit it can all be a little overwhelming at times. Wondering about how things might have gone." Blake says back.

"How do you deal with it?" Yangs asks.

"I don't. Yang, if there's one thing I've learned after all this time, it's that living in the past and wondering what you should have done doesn't help you much in the present. Introspection is nice once-in-a-while, but if you're constantly judging things about yourself you'll lose sight of who you are now. Could you and Jaune have been a thing in our world? I don't know, but you can't change what is, only what will be." Blake replies to a still distressed Yang, "Listen, if you're that worried about it, try talking to Ruby or Weiss, or even this world's Jaune, expand your perspective, maybe that'll help."

"Gee aren't you a bucket full of wisdom?" Yang says sarcastically.

"Hehe, now you see why I became a Huntress not a therapist." Blake jokes back.

This world's Jaune and OG Team RWBY eventually make their way to Beacon proper and ascend to Ozpin's office, meeting with the Headmaster, the Vice Headmistress, and two people who introduce themselves as Jaune's parents. They explain the situation, giving as much info as possible to the nature of Salem in their world, how things went, why they ended up here, and so on. While this happens, Yang takes Blake's advice and asks Jaune if they could talk away from everyone. Jaune, though reluctant at first, wanting to hear all that Ruby was talking about, agrees once he sees the seriousness in Yang's eyes and moves aside with her.

"So… you wanted to talk?" Jaune says, steeling himself for conversation ahead.

"Huh, still getting used to these versions of you," Yang nervously responds under her breath.

Jaune thinks for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck, before saying, "Listen if this is about what you heard me say to your alternate over the scroll earlier…"

"No, no, it's fine I just wasn't expecting that is all," Yang quickly interrupts, "I mean we barely even talked back in my reality so it's just a little you know."

"Really? Not even a little?" Jaune says despondently.

Seeing Jaune's noticeable distress, Yang quickly says, "I mean it's not like we weren't friends or anything… we were just… um." Her face did little to help dig herself out of the hole she's placed herself in.

Both are quiet for a minute before Jaune asks, "So are motorcycles still your thing or …?"

There's a pause from Yang before she starts laughing, and not long after Jaune starts laughing too, "Wow, you are just that awkward in every dimension huh Vomit-boy?" Yangs asks, a slight smile in her grin.

"Hehe, wouldn't be me if I wasn't, ain't that right Spitfire?" Jaune responds, a bright smile etched onto his face.

Upon hearing that nickname Yang flushes a bit, turning away slightly, hoping that this coupled with the slight redness to her face from laughing earlier is enough to cover it up.

Jaune seeing this flushes a bit himself, turning away slightly to give her the courtesy of the idea that he doesn't notice her flushing before becoming serious once more and saying, "Look, I understand all this is very confusing and overwhelming for you, but I just want to assure you that I'm not expecting anything."

"Wait, what?" Yang asks, confused.

Jaune gently takes her hand in his, "I'm saying that I know that you're not my Yang, that you've lived an entirely different life from her and that your relationship with your world's version of me is just as different. So I'm not going to ask you, pressure you, or even force you to be with that version of me just because you're with me here in this world. How you wish to spend your life is entirely up you whether you decide to spend it with me as a lover, a friend, something more, or just nothing at all I would accept it because at the end of the day your happiness is all that matters to me," he let's go of her hand and begins to nervously rub the back of his neck, "That being said, if I could ask anything of you it would be to at least be there for me, I know it's a bit hypocritical of me to ask that of you after everything I just said, but… everyone deserves to have someone like you in their lives."

Yang scoffs dismissively at the idea that somebody like her is exactly what everyone needs in their lives, "Yeah, sure they do, and what could someone like me possibly give them."

Jaune smiles, "Your caring nature, your assurance that you would never abandon them, your fierce protectiveness of the things you hold dear, and, though everyone would want me to say otherwise, your sense of humor."

Yang, taken aback by Jaune's statement, can only say, "You like my puns?"

Jaunes rolls his eyes and thinks, " Of course that's what you latch onto," before responding, "They're hit or miss most of the time, but they're not all bad. However, you do tend to go overboard with a couple of them. Honestly, I think people groan so much at them because you keep using the same ones over and over again, but that's just my opinion."

"Huh, I'll take that into consideration," Yang says contently, "Thanks by the way."

"Oh, for what?" Jaune asks, confused.

"Why, for speaking with me about this, Sir Jaune the Dense," Yang responds teasingly in a voice that sounds all too similar to Weiss's, "Hehe, that being said, there's still one more thing I gotta ask you."

After doing his best to stifle his laughter, Jaune responds, "Anything."

"Why were you touching my stomach earlier? What is the Yang of this reality that much more on the pudgy side of things than me?" Yang asks jokingly.

Jaune tenses for a minute before responding nervously, "Ah… I knew I forgot something, no, the you of this reality is not fat she's just…well you're probably about to see in just a minute."

Before Yang can respond, she hears a choir of voices growing louder nearby. Turning toward the sound, she sees the elevator doors open as the rest of this world's Team RWBY and JNPR arrive in Ozpin's office.

"HEY THERE FEARLESS LEADER, WHOSE LEGS ARE WE BREAKING!" Nora yells excitedly.

"Nora, no, we're not breaking any legs today," pleads a tired Ren.

"I agree with Ren we should wait until Jaune explains the situation before rushing into such things," advises an anxious Pyrrha.

"Well whatever it is it better be worth it, I had to reschedule an appointment for this!" interjects an irate Weiss.

"That's what you're worried about?" Blake responds judgingly.

"Oh please Kit-Kat you're just mad we interrupted your 'private' reading time," Yang teasingly retorts.

"Jaune, we got your message, what's going on?" asks a concerned Ruby.

As they all step out of the elevator, Jaune points to OG Yang and the rest of her team. This elicits several reactions from everyone, but none so great as OG Yang when she sees herself.

"AM I PRE-!" Yang exclaims before being interrupted by Jaune.

"Pretty beautifully plump with our children, yes, you are!" Jaune says in both an excited yet equally nervous tone, "So as you can see, this you is not fat she's just got a bun or two in the oven."

"I'M HAVING TWINS!" OG Yang screams.

Yang deadpans to Jaune then looks back to her other self saying, "Ignore my husband, he just can't wait to have another batch, but no it's not twins it's just the one though we're hoping to have more in the future so twins aren't entirely out the picture yet."

"I'M MARRIED!" OG Yang yells, becoming even more distressed.

"Yes, I mean, no, I mean…look we haven't done an official wedding yet we're waiting until after the baby is born to go through with it," Yang tries to explain.

OG Yang barely hears this having fully shut down before finally collapsing unconscious to the floor.

"Nice one honey," Jaune remarks jokingly.

"Oh please, this is your fault for not warning her!" retorts an irate Yang.

Understand this is the first time I've written dialog, so bear with me as it's a little rough. It's even rougher than most since I don't have an editor so this is all just me. However, while I would normally say go easy on me, I need to get better at this kind of thing; so long as it's not mean spirited, tear this "One-shot" to shreds. Without further ado I give you:

- - -

"Oh please, this is your fault for not warning her!" retorts an irate Yang.

Click to shrink...

It is a bit rough, true. But it's also well constructed and I liked the character moments. I also appreciate you not making Bumblebee a thing. My own personal views aside, I think Monty Oum's desire that they be sisters should be respected and them being friends is more interesting and realistic than them being lovers.

I also like that you had Yang confide in Blake about this. It did feel very natural. And her conversation with Jaune was also very nice.

And finally, I would like to see more of this if you could write it? I am going to write another chapter of In the Family Way and it might be nice.

It might also be nice if Isabel Arc were to give Yang some advice, on love and life.
