Probably not something that is what you want to have on this thread, but I've been entertaining ideas like this for a long while. Long before the most recent turn of unfortunate events kicked off.
I like it a lot! And this is a perfect place for such ideas, though I really wish to see some snippets! I'd love to see some!
As for another idea...

"Summer break summer break summer break!" Ruby cheered, jumping up and down excitedly in her seat at the cafeteria table.
"Yeah, and no where to go," Yang sighed. "We don't have the money to do anything fun."
"We can just stay in Vale and have fun?" Ruby suggested.
"But we're not allowed to stay in the dorms!" Yang groaned. "And we'll just have to stay on Patch!"
Ruby turned to Weiss with a wide smile.
"Weiss! Um... Would you be willing to-?"
"I'm given a very strict allowance and am not allowed to purchase frivolous things," Weiss stated, "And no hotel up to my standards is affordable for the whole of the break."
"What, not enough gold plated toilets?" Blake sniffed.
"I would settle for decent porcelain," Weiss stated. Everyone stared at her.
"I can never tell when she's joking," Yang admitted.
"Nobody can say what you tell are jokes!" Weiss shot back.
Team JNPR sat down at their usual table with RWBY. Ruby pouted at Jaune.
"What are you doing for summer break, Jaune?"
"Oh, uh," Jaune shrugged with a smile, "We're uh... We're going back to Radian to train and relax."
"Your hometown?" Ruby asked eagerly. "Wow! All of you?"
Ren nodded.
"It's nice to be invited to travel somewhere to enjoy yourself, without fear of attack or being kicked out," Ren observed calmly.
"I am happy to be adopted by the Arc Clan!" Nora declared. "I will slay many Grimm for the right to have Nana Arturia knit me sweaters and bake me cookies!"
"She'll do that anyway," Jaune sighed.
"Pyrrha?! You're going out to Radian too?!" Weiss gasped. "Some bumpkin town in the middle of nowhere?!"
"Actually," Pyrrha said with a smile, "It has a first rate research hospital, waterfalls, lovely mountains, and ancient ruins to explore! I-I've never been somewhere like that. Also, Jaune's parents are going to put us up at their farm, as long as we do some chores. I-I've never travelled somewhere on my own for vacation! I think it-it will be fun!"
"Free except for some farm chores?" Yang gasped.
"Research hospital and ancient ruins?" Blake asked, mildly intrigued.
"A farmhouse?" Weiss asked, making a face.
"Yeah!" Nora cheered. "All the bacon, eggs and pancakes we can eat!"
"And I don't have to make them," Ren said dryly.
"For now," Nora grinned.
"Um, and since my dad is the head of the local militia," Jaune went on, "My dad will let us train with them and use their forge. It's about as good as what Beacon has, mostly."
Ruby stared intensely at Jaune, her eyes threatening to bubble up with tears as her cheeks went red. Jaune coughed.
"Uh... You guys want to come too? We've got plenty of room, since half my sisters have moved out-"
"YES!" Ruby cried in glee.
"NO!" Weiss cried in horror.
"Come on, Weisscream!" Yang grinned and winked, "You'll get the chance to see how most people live! It'll be an en-ranching experience!"
"Just the thought of the horrific farm puns you will make is
freezing my soul," Weiss hissed. She stopped, and her cheeks burned bright red. "DAMNIT YOU'VE GOT ME DOING IT!"
"Come on Weiss? Please? It'll be fun, I know it will!" Ruby insisted.
Pyrrha's
stare intensified. Ruby looked pleadingly at Weiss. Yang did the same. Blake blinked slowly and looked over at Jaune.
"Are... Faunus welcome in Radian?"
Jaune beamed.
"Absolutely," Jaune said, "The Sith family are our neighbors, and they're cat-faunus! Though I have fought with their son a few times, he's a good guy, really."
Blake slowly nodded.
"I'm fine with it," she said quietly.
Faced with the overwhelming majority of her friends all shooing her pleading looks... Weiss rolled her eyes heavenward and sighed heavily. She then
turned and scowled over at Jaune.
"You're not using this an excuse to try and hit on me again, are you?"
For the first time since they had met, Jaune looked a bit exasperated with Weiss.
"It was three... Okay, four times," Jaune sighed, "I'm fine just being friends. And I know it's not up to your usual standards but I... You would be more than welcome, promise."
Weiss sighed heavily.
"Fine."
"Just uh, fair warning?" Jaune began. "My parents and family are a little... Eccentric."
Weiss rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure we can handle a few hillbillies and their local customs. What, do you have a jug and washboard band?"
"No," Jaune said quickly, "Not since my uncle switched to jazz."

So... How about a Radian Summer Vacation? How would it go? What hilarious shenanigans will ensue in the Arc Clan's hometown?
