Chapter 1: The Exchange
Chapter Text
“So… What exactly is this?” asks Blake looking curious at the box on top of the table.
Team RWBY and Pyrrha are on the Dust laboratory in Beacon, it was past the class hours, but, they were allowed to use it before dinner time.
“It is a new type of dust I received from the SDC.” Weiss says opening the box. “They discovered it recently and send to me for testing, we would be the first ones to use it after I identify it’s characteristics.” she grins at her friends.
Pyrrha picks up one of the vials inside the box to take a closer look.
“It does have an interesting color. It appears black, but against the light it changes color to green, blue and purple.”
Ruby takes a vial as well and put it against the light.
“Let me see. WOW! It’s pretty… A-A-”
Weiss looks alarmed at her partner.
“Take the vial from her.”
Yang moves to do so, she heard from Jaune what happened in their first day on Beacon.
“ACHOOOO!”
Unfortunately she is not fast enough. Ruby drops the vial that shatters on the floor, the dust activates and a black smoke raises, enveloping all of the room. The girls start to coff, as the smoke change colors from black to green, then blue and finally purple before dissipating.
“RUBY!!!” 'Pyrrha' yells at the red hooded younger girl. “AGAIN! REALLY?”
“Sorry!!” 'Weiss' says.
“Why the heck are you yelling at me, P-Money?” 'Ruby' glares at 'Pyrrha' ignoring 'Weiss'.
“Who are you calling P-Money?” 'Pyrrha' glares back at 'Ruby', before looking confused. “When did you get smaller then me?”
“What are you- WOAH!!! Hold on… Where are my boobs?” 'Ruby' looks desperate at her chest.
“W-What is going on?” 'Blake' says looking at 'Pyrrha'.
'Yang' puts her hands on top of her head feeling around before pouting, taking a lock of hair in her hands and looking at it.
“I believe we have exchanged bodies.”' Yang' says looking serious.
“YOU THINK!!!!” ‘Pyrrha’ yells at ‘Yang’. She looks around, not seeing Pyrrha she draws the conclusion. “I am in Pyrrha’s body, so who is in mine?”
“And who are you exactly?” asks ‘Yang’. At the familiar glare she receives from ‘Pyrrha’ the conclusion is reached. “I see, you are Weiss. I am Blake… and?” she looks at 'Weiss' body.
“Ruby.” is the answer.
“I am Pyrrha.” ‘Blake’ says. “And that leaves…”
“Yeah! I am in Ruby’s body.” Yang answers.
They look at each other before Weiss/Pyrrha glares at Ruby/Weiss.
“WHY? JUST WHY DID YOU DO THAT?”
“It wasn’t on purpose.”
“Calm down, everyone.” Pyrrha/Blake. “We need to figure out a way to turn things back to normal.”
“Maybe it’s just temporary.” Yang/Ruby says hopefully.
“With our luck, I don’t think so.” Blake/Yang grumbles.
Everyone stays silent for a moment.
“We should talk with Headmaster Ozpin.” Ruby says. “Maybe he can help us.”
“Absolutely not.” Weiss glares at Ruby. “We should keep it a secret. I will not have a black mark on my file because of this.”
“You already have a black mark. We all have because of the docks stuff. Well, minus P-Money.” Yang reminds her.
If Blake wasn’t in Yang’s body, her cat ears would be flat on her head now, as she looks embarrassed to the floor.
“I agree with Ruby.” Pyrrha says seriously. “We need help and the Headmaster is our best option.”
“But-” starts Weiss.
“What if we don’t change back by tomorrow and are called to Combat Class?”
Weiss shuts her mouth.
“Speaking of Combat Class. Are our semblances still the same?” Blake asks.
“Let’s see-” Ruby stands up.
“NO! DON’T YOU DARE TRY TO USE YOUR SEMBLANCE WHILE IN MY BODY!” Weiss yells at her.
“Booo. You are no fun.”
Weiss makes a glyph.
“We still have our own semblances. That’s a relieve I guess…” then she groans. “Oh! No.”
Pyrrha nods.
“It could be very bad if we got called in Combat Class.”
“Then let’s talk with Ozpin.” Blake moves to the door.
“And no one else.” Weiss growls at Ruby that pouts. Pyrrha pouts as well.
“I think we should tell Jaune as well.” Ruby says under her breath and Pyrrha nods.
They all go to Ozpin’s tower.
“We need to talk with the Headmaster… pleeeease.” Yang tries to imitate Ruby while talking with the receptionist.
“The Headmaster is currently on a meeting with Professor Goodwitch.” is the answer they receive.
“Excuse me.” Weiss tries now. “It’s important, we really have to talk with him.”
Seeing ‘Pyrrha’ asking this time, the receptionist let’s out a sigh.
“One moment, please.”
Ruby pouts, looking at Pyrrha, that have a smug look on 'Blake’s' face. The ribbon on top of 'her' head flicks a little.
“No fair.”
“He will receive you.” the woman informs them. “You can go up.”
“Thank you.” Weiss goes to the elevator followed by the others.
Leaving the elevator they are received in Ozpin’s office, Professor Goodwitch is there as well, as expected.
“Couldn’t it wait until tomorrow?” Goodwitch asks them with a stern look.
“Now, now Glynda. Team RWBY and Ms. Nikos, what can I do for you, young ladies?” Ozpin greets the students.
“Professor Goodwitch is here too. What now?” Yang whispers.
“It’s better for her to know as well. Less questions asked later.” Blake whispers back.
“Ms. Rose and Ms. Xiao-Long, stop whispering among yourselves and explain already why you interrupted our meeting.” Glynda calls out to them.
‘Weiss’ points at herself, before Ruby remembers that she is not on her body.
“Professor, this is a little hard to explain and quite unbelievable.” Weiss stars the explanation. “To start with, I am not Pyrrha, I am Weiss Schnee. There was an accident with a new type of dust I received from the SDC and we all exchanged bodies.”
Goodwitch and Ozpin exchange looks. Before she glares at Weiss.
“Ms. Nikos, I am really disappointed in you. I expected a prank like this from Ms. Xiao-Long, but never from you.”
“HEY!” ‘Ruby’ complains.
“What is it, Ms. Rose?” Glynda glares at her.
“Just… hey.” she grumbles.
“We can prove it, Professor.” Pyrrha says looking at Weiss and then at Ruby.
Weiss groans.
“Fine. You can do it, Ruby.”
“YAY!” Ruby cheers and grins.
Ozpin and Glynda look at each other again.
“Ms. Schnee is really acting like Ms. Rose. They have really put an effort in this prank.” Ozpin says amused.
When Ruby uses her semblance to speed from one corner of the office to other, there was something different, instead of leaving red rose petals in her path, she left white rose petals. Another difference was that she was wobbling in dizziness.
“Weiss body… not made for this… I think I am gonna throw up.”
Yang quickly runs to Ruby in order to keep her steady.
“Don’t! You! Dare!” Weiss growls at her.
“I-I see.” Ozpin looks wide eyed. “I understand… it’s not a prank. A semblance can’t be imitated. Who is who here… Ms. Schnee?”
“Well I am in Pyrrha’s body as I said earlier, sir. Pyrrha is on Blake’s, Ruby is on mine as you saw, Yang is on Ruby’s and Blake is on Yang’s.”
“Very well. And it was caused by a dust accident?” they all nod. “Do you still have this dust?”
“Yes, sir. Here.” Weiss gives the box to Ozpin. There are four vials still inside.
“I will have the research team take a look at this. For now I believe it would be for the best to keep all of this a secret.” he looks at Glynda, that lets out a sigh.
“While this mess is being sorted out you will not be participating in the Combat Class. Just be there for attendance.”
The girls all let out breaths of relieve.
“Thank you, Professor.” Ruby says after recovering from the dizziness.
“And of course, your sleeping arrangements will remain the same.” Ozpin says, doing every effort to hide his grin.
This gives Weiss pause.
“W-What do you mean?” she asks fearing the answer.
“Ms. Schnee will be sleeping in JNPR room and Ms. Nikos in RWBY room.” Ozpin answer, his grin almost slipping out at the look of horror on both 'Pyrrha' and 'Blake' faces.
‘NOOOOOO!!!! I WILL BE LIVING IN THE SAME ROOM AS THAT DUNCE!!!’ Weiss cry inside her head, while Yang is laughing her ass off at her.
‘Oh No!’ Pyrrha looks worried at Weiss. ‘If she asks Jaune the same questions I asked the other day… What if she falls for him? They could end up together when we change back… I don’t even want to think about it.’ she pales at the possible implications.
“W-Wait. Maybe there is a way for us to force our ways back to our bodies.” Weiss tries to think of something fast to avoid living in the same room as Jaune. “What if we hit our heads against each other?”
“Let me try.” Yang grabs her body and headbutts herself really hard. Almost passing out in the process.
“It didn’t work.” mumbles Blake rubbing ‘Yang’ forehead in pain.
Ozpin chuckles.
“Ms. Schnee, remember, the others must not know about the incident, so be nice to Mr. Arc would you?”
Glynda almost laughs there. Yes, Glynda Goodwitch, the stoic professor of Beacon almost laughed at the situation of Weiss.
“I-I will try.” Weiss says resigned.
“Try?” Glynda raises an eyebrow at Weiss.
“I will be nice to Arc.” she corrects herself.
“No, no, no. Weiss.” Ruby says. “You have to call him Jaune or he will know right away that something is wrong.” she grins at her partner.
“Ugh!” Weiss takes a deep breath. “I will be nice to J-J-Jaune.” she says with gritted teeth.
“Still wrong Weiss.” Now it’s Pyrrha that is joining in the fun. “Just say it naturally. Come on, Jaune.”
“Jaune.” her face looks like she sucked a lemon.
“Not convincing.” Ruby says again.
Weiss glares at her.
“Jaune, Jaune, Jaune. There.”
Ruby and Pyrrha exchange looks.
“Well. Not an award winning performance, but will do.” Ruby shrugs.
“You-” Weiss growls at her partner.
Ozpin claps his hands.
“Enough. It’s dinner time, off you go. And remember, keep what happened a secret.”
“Yes, sir.” the girls answer before leaving the office.
As soon as the girls leave.
Ozpin grin slips out.
“It looks like these next few days will be fun.”
“You are happy at our students misfortune.” Glynda scolds him.
“You are smiling as well.”
Glynda clears her throat trying to hide her smile.
________________________________________________________________________________
In the cafeteria Jaune, Ren and Nora are already sitting at their usual table, waiting for the others to arrive. The girls get there and quickly move to the table. Weiss was about to sit on her usual seat when both Ruby and Pyrrha look at her and she moves to sit beside Jaune.
“Hey, Pyr.” greets Jaune. “I passed by the dust lab earlier to call you girls for dinner but you weren’t there.”
“We were at the Headmaster office.” Ruby answers.
Jaune looks wide eyed at ‘Weiss’ surprised that she is the one answering him. Yang kicks her under the table, making Ruby realize what she did. Her eyes widen and she almost slaps her hands over her mouth. ‘Fudge. Weiss would just ignore him. But he is my bestie… ah! I know.’
“But it’s not like it’s of any business of yours, A-Arc. Hmph!” Ruby looks away from him pouting and almost crying.
“O-Okay?” Jaune looks at ‘Ruby’ that just shrugs. He turns to ‘Pyrrha’. “Did something happen? Is everything alright? Ozpin only call for us if something bad happened.”
“It’s not-” Weiss stops as she feels a chill running up her spine, glancing behind her, she sees Pyrrha glaring from the other side of the table. “It’s nothing to worry about. There is no need for concern… Jaune.”
Jaune raises an eyebrow at the pause before she said his name.
“If you say so.” he decides to drop the matter.
Nora looks suspiciously from her seat.
“You are all acting strange.”
‘Why do you become sharp at the worst possible moments?’ Pyrrha thinks with a groan.
“Yang is too quiet. Blakey is too expressive. Pyr-Pyr is-”
“Look, Nora. They are serving pancakes.” Weiss thinks quickly and points to the buffet.
“Heck YEAH!” Nora runs to get her fill as the girls sigh in relieve and Jaune chuckles.
“Oh! By the way Ruby, are we still on for tonight?”
“What?” Yang is caught off guard by the question. “Errrr…” she looks at Ruby that discreetly nods to her. “Sure, V.B.” Ruby groans at the mistake.
“V.B.?” Jaune asks before glaring at ‘Yang’. “See Yang. That’s what happens when you keep calling me that.”
Blake looks like a deer caught in headlights.
“Ah! Y-Yeah… Sorry?”
Jaune is taken a back, Yang just apologized. He looks between the girls.
‘Okay… something is wrong here. What is going on?’
He sees ‘Weiss’ taking a cookie to eat, only for ‘Pyrrha’ to glare at her, take the cookie away and then ‘Weiss’ pouts.
‘Something is definitely wrong.’
Chapter 2: The Day After
Chapter Text
Yang/Ruby sighs in relieve inside her mind. What Ruby and Jaune had promised each other was to play some games before sleep time, she didn’t know how she would react if it was something else.
‘Then again,’ thinks Yang ‘Jaune is a good guy. A bit of a dork sometimes, but that’s not bad. And playing with him is really fun.’ she grins as her character blocks the attack from Jaune’s character.
In RWBY room, Ruby/Weiss sits on her bed with a pout in ‘Weiss’ face.
“It should be me playing with Jaune, not Yang.”
“It’s feels so strange seeing Weiss saying that.” Blake/Yang comments to Pyrrha/Blake that nods in agreement.
“She is stealing my best friends time with him.” she loudly complains.
“It’s not her fault Ruby.” Pyrrha tries to calm her down.
“I know… It’s mine. I should have been more careful.”
“We are not blaming you.” Blake tries to comfort her.
“Weiss is. She must hate me now.”
“She doesn’t hate you.” Pyrrha assures her.
“I hope so.”
The door of the room opens and Yang comes in.
“Man, that was fun. V.B. is really good.”
“I know he is.” Ruby pouts again.
“How is Weiss? Did she have a nervous breakdown yet?” chuckles Blake.
Yang laughs.
“She is just sitting on the bed reading a book, trying to not attract attention.”
“She is reading a book? Not the comic Jaune let me borrow?” Pyrrha looks worried. “I hope he doesn’t take it the wrong way.”
“Ah! That explains the confused look he had, then he just let it go and started to play.” Yang says now understanding Jaune’s reaction.
“What comic was it?” Ruby asks curious.
“I think it was called The Kidnapped Ice Princess.” Pyrrha answers after thinking a little.
“WHAT?” Ruby and Blake yell at the same time, startling Pyrrha.
“W-What?” she asks confused.
“Was it the full ultimate edition with a hard cover?” Blake asks.
“I-I think so.”
“We need to convince Jaune to let us borrow it.” Ruby says and Blake nods.
“I didn’t know that you like comics, Blake.” Yang looks surprised at her partner in her body.
“Normally I don’t, but this one is a perfect adaptation from the novel and the ultimate edition have comments of the author about the story. I have been trying to find it for years, it’s very rare.”
"Jaune like it very much actually." Pyrrha comments.
“I guess that is why Jaune wanted you to read it. He wanted to share it with you.” Yang says to Pyrrha that smiles.
“I got it. Ruby, you are on Weiss’ body, I bet that if you ask him, he will let you borrow it.” Blake plots.
“On it.” Ruby jumps down from her bed only to be stopped by Pyrrha/Blake, the cat ears in full attention and the golden eyes in a feline glare.
“You will not take advantage of Jaune’s infatuation with Weiss to get what you want from him.” Pyrrha scolds her.
“Fine.” pouts Ruby/Weiss.
Back in JNPR room, Jaune is just finishing putting away the video game. He turns and sees ‘Pyrrha’ still sitting on the bed reading the book.
“Pyr.” he calls but she just continues to read the book. “Pyr?” he tries again and still nothing. “Pyrrha.” he says her name a little louder.
Weiss jumps startled and looks at him.
“What, Aaaaar-Jaune?.” she changes the name she was going to say quickly.
“Are you okay? You have been distracted since you came back from the dust lab.” he asks concerned.
“I am fine. There is no need to worry.”
“Well… okay then. Aren’t you going to take a shower?”
“Oh! Y-Yes, of course. Excuse me.”
Weiss grabs Pyrrha pajamas and enters the bathroom. As soon as the door closes, Jaune looks at Nora and Ren.
“Okay! Tell me it’s not just me.”
“Pyr-Pyr is acting weird.” confirms Nora.
“Team RWBY as well. There is something strange going on.” Ren nods as well.
“Maybe it’s something that happened in Ozpin’s office.” Jaune says thinking a little.
“Or maybe they are having their period all at the same time.” Nora looks at both boys that shudders at the possibility.
“Yeah! Been there… done that.” Jaune says. “Four sisters and my mother, all at the same time.”
Ren and Nora both shiver in fear.
After few minutes ‘Pyrrha’ comes out of the bathroom and goes directly to bed without saying a word. Jaune takes his turn on the shower. He comes out of the bathroom wearing a t-shirt and boxers.
“W-W-What are you wearing?” stammers Weiss seeing him, blushing. The shirt clings to him and doesn’t hide the six pack and the muscles of his arm.
“What?” Jaune asks confused. “You know my onesie is in the laundry.”
“Oh. Ah! Yes… Of course.”
“Are you sure you are alright, Pyr?”
“I am sure. I just need a good night of sleep.”
Jaune exchange looks with Ren and Nora.
“Well, if you say so. Good night, Pyr. Good night guys.”
Jaune turns off the light and moves to his bed.
‘Ohm!’ Thinks Weiss still blushing. ‘Have he been working out? Because he is definitely not scraggly anymore. I guess his clothes hide… all of that and his… posterior… Pyrrha sees that everyday?’
________________________________________________________________________________
“Pyr.” Weiss hears in the fog of sleep, she chooses to ignore it.
“Pyr.” the voice insists and she once again ignore.
“Come on, Pyr.” now the one talking gently shakes her.
“Mmmm… Let me sleep.” she turns to glare at the one shaking her and almost screams when she sees that it’s Jaune, before remembering that she is on Pyrrha’s body.
“Good morning.” he greets her.
“Why are you waking me up?” Weiss looks at the clock on the nightstand. “At six in the morning.” she glares at him.
“It’s time for our morning run.” he tells her. “I am surprised that I had to wake you up, normally it’s the other way around.” he chuckles.
“Ugh!” Weiss rubs ‘Pyrrha’ forehead.
“Didn’t you sleep well?” he asks concerned. “Maybe we should go to the infirmary and have Doctor Tamamo take a look at you.”
This wakes her up completely.
“I am fine. Morning run, sure. It sounds grand.” she tries to imitate Pyrrha while going into bathroom to change.
They both get outside the dormitories and Jaune starts to stretch, after some moves he notices that ‘Pyrrha’ is just looking at him from behind, distracted.
“Aren’t you going to warm up?” he asks confused.
“What?” she takes her eyes off of his butt, startled. “Oh! Sure.” she follows his movements.
“Ready?” he asks and she nods. “Let’s go then.”
They started their morning run and Weiss can’t help but ask.
“Just remind me again, until where do we go on our morning runs?”
“We always start at the dorms and run a lap around Beacon.”
‘Pyrrha’ jaw almost drops.
“When you say ‘around Beacon’ you mean the entire complex?”
“Of course.” he chuckles.
“And we do it everyday?” she asks fearing the answer.
“Yep. Except on the weekends.” he looks at ‘Pyrrha’. “Why are you asking questions you already know the answer?”
“No reason.” she tries to cover it up.
They finish their run and Weiss is surprised that even after running around the entire Academy she doesn’t feel tired.
‘This is Pyrrha’s body for you.’ she thinks impressed, before turning to go back to the dorms.
“Where are you going?” Jaune asks.
“To take a shower in J- our room.” she answers confused.
“We have workout with Nora now.” he points to the gym.
‘Are they crazy? First they run around Beacon and then workout with Nora right after?’
They get inside the gym and Nora is already there waiting for them.
“Morning.” she greets them. “Ready to start?”
“Morning Nora.” Jaune greets back. “Sure.”
“Good morning.” Weiss greets back and is surprised when she looks at one of the weight benches and ‘Yang’ is there.
While Jaune is talking with Nora, Weiss approaches Blake/Yang.
“What are you doing here?” she asks the girl that is not a faunus anymore.
“Yang told me to come. Said that I had to keep appearances.” Blake lifts the weight. “It’s strange, normally I wouldn’t be able to lift this much.”
“I know, I was running around Beacon just now and don’t feel tired at all.”
“Makes you feel jealous, right?”
“No comment.”
“Hey Pyr-Pyr. Aren’t you going to lift some weight?” Nora gets her attention.
“Ah! Sure.” Weiss chooses one of the weight machines at random sits on it, adjusts the weight and starts to work out.
Nora looks at the weights strangely.
“Pyr-Pyr? Why are you lifting half of what you usually do?”
“Err…” Weiss tries to think of an excuse. “I just felt like having a light exercise today.”
“Hmm… If you say so.”
“Unnngghhh!” they hear Jaune grunting while lifting weights on a bench.
“Jaune-Jaune, you are doing great there.” Nora goes to spot for him.
Both Weiss and Blake stop what they are doing to observe Jaune exercise. They don’t take their eyes off of him.
“You are drooling.” Blake comments.
“So are you.” Weiss replies.
“Don’t you hate Jaune?” Blake raises an eyebrow at her.
“Hate is too strong a word. I just find his attempts to court me annoying.” Weiss answers before both turn back to observe.
“That was great Fearless Leader.” Nora praises her team leader.
“Thanks Nora. I’m going back to take a shower.” Jaune wet of sweat gets up and leaves the gym.
Both Weiss and Blake gulp, seeing him like this.
“You are both making it too obvious.” Nora comments grinning.
“W-What are you talking about?” Weiss asks not looking in Nora’s eyes.
“You are always staring at him when you two are here. But today you didn’t even try to hide it.”
‘Pyrrha’ blushes.
“And Yang didn’t make any comments today... Maybe you are interested in him that way.”
“I… I am not. I was just impressed by how much he improved.” Blake answers.
“Hmmm…. You are talking like Blakey.” Nora comments narrowing her eyes at ‘Yang’.
“That is not true. I really was just thinking that V.B. got better.”
Nora still look suspicious at them.
“I have to go take a shower as well.” Weiss quickly leaves.
“What she said.” Blake follows after her.
Nora looks as they leave before shrugging and following after them.
________________________________________________________________________________
The day passed without major events for the five girls, except on Doctor Oobleck class when he asked a question to ‘Yang’ and ‘Ruby’ answered wrongly, but nothing beyond that. They were now having lunch, thankfully they don’t have classes that afternoon and it was a Friday.
Both teams were talking with each other, or better yet, Jaune and Nora were talking and the girls where just giving short answers and comments.
Jaune then look at ‘Weiss’.
‘Here it comes.’ everyone but Ruby thinks.
‘It’s okay. Ruby knows what to do.’ Weiss thinks but looks nervously at her body. ‘You know right… Right?’
“Weiss. Since it’s the weekend, how about we go somewhere? Anywhere you want, your choice.”
‘Weiss’ looks at Jaune without answering.
‘Come on Ruby. Just say no and be done with it.’ Weiss is getting really, really nervous now.
Everyone looks holding their breath.
“Sure! I will go.” Ruby answers smiling at Jaune.
‘WHAT!!!!’ Pyrrha almost faints, Blake’s body starts to shake as she holds back a scream.
‘NOOOOOOOOO! RUBY HOW COULD YOU?’ Weiss screams in her mind as ‘Pyrrha’ jaw drops open in disbelieve at what just happened.
‘Ruby’ is shaking as Yang tries to hold back her laugh.
‘Yang’ just shakes her head knowing that something like this would happen.
Nora and Ren just look astonished at what just happened.
“For real?” Jaune asks in disbelieve. He had just asked out of habit, fully expecting her rejection.
“Yes. I want to get out of Beacon this weekend. I will tell where I want to go later.” Ruby confirms before leaving the table, with Yang following after her.
‘I am going to kill her.’ Both Weiss and Pyrrha think at the same time.
“What just happened? Nora… could you pinch me, it must be a dream.” Jaune request and Nora obeys. “OUCH! Not so hard… okay… I am awake. Alright… what the hell?”
“It seems the impossible just happened.” Ren says from his spot, his eyes still open wide. “Weiss, just accepted your invitation to a date.”
‘I did not.’ Weiss is fuming.
“Yeah. If you heard it too then it means that I have not gone mad.”
“From now on you shall be know as The Man Who Makes the Impossible Possible.” the normally stoic Ren smirks at his friend.
“Please don’t.” groans Jaune.
‘Agreed… Please don’t.’ Both Weiss and Pyrrha think, still glaring at the door that Ruby just used to leave.
Chapter 3: Learning
Chapter Text
“WHAT IN THE BROTHERS NAME WERE YOU THINKING?” Weiss/Pyrrha screams at Ruby/Weiss.
The girls with bodies exchanged where in RWBY room, discussing the fact that Ruby while in Weiss body had accepted to go on a date with Jaune.
“It’s like you are deceiving him, Ruby.” Pyrrha/Blake frowns at her.
“I am not deceiving him.” denies Ruby/Weiss.
“You will cancel this ‘date’ this instant. Or brothers help me I will hit you.” threatens Weiss.
“If you hit me the one who will suffer will be you.” she says smirking at Weiss. “And I want to go have some fun with my best friend in Vale.” Ruby argues back.
“Not with my body.” Weiss glares. “What if that dunce starts to think that I like him?”
“Would it be that bad? Yang/Ruby questions.
“It would.” Weiss says and Pyrrha thinks.
“I don’t see why. He is a nice guy.”
“He is annoying, that’s why.”
“SHUT UP!” Ruby screams at Weiss. Everyone looks at her in surprise and disbelieve.
“W-What did you just say to me?” Weiss looks surprised at Ruby.
“I said shut up.” Ruby got the Schnee glare perfected very quickly. “Stop talking like that about Jaune. You don’t even try to talk with him and just put labels like that, calling him a dunce or a dolt and saying he is annoying. Do you want to know why I am going out with him while in your body? To give him a break for at least one day. Since Initiation he had a hard time in Beacon. Not just because of Cardin’s bulling, but because of us as well.”
“Us? What did I do?” Yang/Ruby asks confused.
“Oh! I can talk about each of you. Let’s start with Weiss, that don’t even need to say anything, we all know why Jaune have a hard time because of her.” Everyone but Weiss/Pyrrha nods.
“HEY!” complains the heiress in the champion body.
“Yang keep calling him Vomit Boy, thinking it’s funny, but do you think it’s funny for him?” Ruby/Weiss continues, ignoring Weiss.
“You are the one that gave the nickname.” Yang/Ruby accuses back.
“Yes, I did and it was wrong of me. That’s why I have stopped using it. But you call him that every time you see him. Remember when some boys called you cow tits back in Patch? How did you like that?”
“I…”
“And every time I am together with him, you keep hovering around us. It just shows that you don’t trust him and he knows it. You say he is a nice guy and even calls him a friend, but doesn’t act like it.”
Yang/Ruby looks down.
“Blake completely ignores his existence.”
“I do… not…” Blake/Yang looks embarrassed.
“Yes, you do. Ever since he helped Velvet, it’s like you feel guilty and jealous because it was Jaune who helped her instead of you. I see you avoid looking at him while we are having lunch or in class and looking away when he looks in your direction. It’s like you hate him.”
“Well… I don’t.” Blake/Yang mumbles.
Pyrrha and Yang both raise an eyebrow at Blake and the cat ears of Pyrrha/Blake twitch a little under the ribbon.
“Pyrrha is not innocent in this either.” the champion in the faunus ninja girl body looks surprised at Ruby/Weiss. “Because he is your partner.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“Ruby is right.” Weiss/Pyrrha surprisingly agrees with Ruby. “Being your partner would put a lot pressure on anyone. And he is not just your partner but also the team leader, the expectations of others could crush him easily if he is not prepared.”
“I-I see.” Pyrrha/Blake looks down, she never expected this, but knows they are right, because she is the Invincible Girl, Jaune is the one under pressure from the rest of the student body, the teachers and even from her fans.
“Nora have some blame as well, she makes trouble all around Beacon and Jaune and Ren are the ones that have to clean up after her. Ren is the only one that don’t cause trouble for him.”
Everyone stays silent and Ruby takes some deep breaths calming herself.
“I-I should go back to JNPR room.” Weiss/Pyrrha says walking towards the door.
“Talk to him.” says Ruby/Weiss. “You are in Pyrrha’s body, so talk and get to know him.” she then looks at Weiss. “I will give you a spoiler. He is the reason I tried really hard to become your friend.”
Weiss goes back to JNPR room, as she enters it, a delicious smell reaches her nostrils.
“What is this?” she asks Nora, that is happily bouncing on a chair by the table. “It smells great.”
“Did you forget Pyr-Pyr? It’s Friday, Jaune-Jaune is making dinner.”
Weiss/Pyrrha looks surprised for a moment.
“Oh! Yes, of course.” - ‘So, that’s why they don’t go to the cafeteria on the weekends.’
“It’s ready.” Jaune appears with a large trail full with freshly made waffles.
“Waffles for dinner?” Questions Weiss.
“Yep. You are the one that said that you missed the waffles your mother makes. I know mine will not be as good as hers, but my sisters like when I make them.”
‘He is doing this for Pyrrha, to make her happy. He is dedicating himself not only in his training, but also in the small things for his team.’
She is taken from her musings as a plate with four waffles appears in front of her and four bottles of syrup as well.
“Chocolate, honey, strawberry and… the sap from Forever Fall that I got from Professor Peach.” he grins at her.
“You got it from her?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks surprised.
“Don’t you remember? She gave me a jar after I helped her clean the classroom last week. It was really hard to hide it from a certain someone.” he glares at Nora.
“I say it’s unfair that you hide it from me.” Nora pouts at him.
“What is unfair is that, thanks to you, we had to double the effort to get the sap. And I am allergic to this stuff.”
“Then… why take it in the first place?” Weiss asks confused.
“Because you guys like it.” he grins again.
Despite herself, Weiss/Pyrrha blushes. She takes the bottles and puts some of the syrups on each waffle to have a taste of all of them. Picking up the fork, she takes a bite of the first waffle with honey.
“Hmmmmm!” she lets out an involuntary moan of happiness. - ‘They have been holding out on us. You traitors, have you been eating delicious food like this every weekend while we have to get take out or eat whatever there is in the cafeteria? That is not fair, not fair at all.’
“I am glad you like it.” Jaune smiles at her.
“It is really good.” Ren gives his opinion. “Like everything else you have made so far. You could become a chef if you wanted.”
Jaune laughs embarrassed by the compliments.
“Nah! Being a chef is Violette stuff. It’s not for me. I am better at eating then making food.”
“Violette?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks outloud.
“My sister.” Jaune raises an eyebrow at her. “I told you about her already, about all seven of them actually.”
“SEV- coff-coff. Ah! Violette, of course, I was a little distracted, sorry.” - ‘Seven sisters… that’s… quite the number… now I feel a little sorry for him.’
“Jaune-Jaune food is so good that can really mess with your head, I get that.” Nora nods while taking more waffles from the trail.
After eating Ren and Nora take the dishes to wash. Weiss/Pyrrha waits until the door closes and takes the opportunity to talk with team JNPR leader, just as he came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth.
“Jaune.” - ‘I really am getting used to say his name.’ - “Can we talk?”
“Sure. About what?” he sits on his bed and looks at her.
“About your date with… Weiss.”
“Right.” he looks a little nervous but still smiles. “I still can’t believe she said yes. I asked already waiting for a no. Man, I don’t even know what I should wear tomorrow.”
“I though only girls had this type of problem.” she looks surprised and amused at him.
“I have three older sisters that would kill me if I don’t go on a date at least wearing something presentable.”
Weiss/Pyrrha giggles despite herself. Before looking seriously at him.
“Why are you so persistent in asking her out? You said yourself that you already expect a negative answer. What is that you like about her?”
“You are asking that again?” He raises an eyebrow at her.
‘Pyrrha already did? Why?’
“Humor me.”
“It started when I heard her voice.”
“Her voice? You heard her singing?”
“I told you already that I didn’t know who she was when we first meet. I heard her talking with Ruby and Yang in the day of the Initiation and she called me ‘Tall, blonde and scraggly’.”
‘He heard that?’
“While not exactly a compliment, she noticed me among all the other candidates. But then, I made an ass of myself not just in front of Weiss, but of you too.” he lets out a sigh. “Anyway, after Initiation I just keep paying attention to her and even told my sisters about Weiss, they send me some of her songs… I listened to Mirror Mirror and things started to make sense.”
“What did?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks a little afraid to hear the answer.
“She was lonely.”
She lets out a gasp.
“She wanted friends, people that she could be close without worries. She didn’t want others to see the heiress of the SDC, whatever that means, or the singer, she just want them to see Weiss.”
Weiss/Pyrrha feels tears gathering in her eyes and quickly wipes them before Jaune notices.
“She screams at the girls and at us not because she is angry, but because she is worried.”
“How do you know that?” she asks surprised.
“My sister Rouge does the same.” he chuckles. “I keep asking her out because maybe some day she will understand that I really care about her. And not whatever her name means in this world. And there is a bonus.” he smirks.
“Bonus?”
“She looks really cute when she gets angry with me.” he chuckles.
“C-Cute?” she blushes a little.
“Yeah! The way she puffs her cheeks is really cute. I told you that already.”
Weiss puts her hand on ‘Pyrrha’s’ cheeks… before shaking her head.
“Excuse me for a moment.” she gets up.
“Sure.”
Weiss leaves JNPR room and goes to RWBY room. Getting inside, she sees the girls sitting on the floor playing Remnant The Game. She marches towards Ruby/Weiss and glares at her.
“He told you about those things.”
Ruby/Weiss doesn’t even need to ask. She already knows what she is talking about.
“He did.” she confirms.
Weiss/Pyrrha takes a deep breath and once again glares at Ruby.
“Tomorrow you are going to behave like a high class lady, do you hear me? You will make sure that both of you have a good time without shaming my name.”
“Sure Weiss.” Ruby/Weiss smiles at her.
“Good. Now, get up. We are choosing a dress. You will look my absolute best.”
“Errr… Can’t I just go with the clothes you always wear?” complains Ruby, she hates to try on dresses.
“Absolutely not. I already told you that you will not shame me in front of Jaaa… the Vale citizens.” she quickly corrects herself. “A Schnee is always at her best, no matter the occasion.”
The two girls go over every dress Weiss had brought with her from Atlas, the others say their opinions on each of them. Finally settling on a white dress with a blue sash around the waist.
“Finally over.” Ruby/Weiss sighs in relieve.
“Now, the shoes.” Weiss says.
“WHAT???”
The despair of Ruby is clear, specially when she notices that every single pair of shoes have heels.
“I am not gonna wear these torture devices.”
“Stop your yapping. Just wear this pair of blue ones. They are not that high.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at her.
“Ugh! Fine.” she pouts. “Hmmm… It’s not that bad,”
“I told you. Tomorrow morning I will be coming here to help with your… my hair.”
“Thanks Weiss.” Ruby/Weiss smiles at her partner.
“There is no need to thank me.” Weiss/Pyrrha then turns to Pyrrha/Blake. “Can we talk?”
Pyrrha nods, both leave the room and go to the rooftop of the dormitories. Weiss takes a deep breath.
“I will go directly to the point. You asked Jaune about his infatuation with me, didn’t you? He found it strange when I inquired him about it.”
“I did. I wanted to understand why he would go through the humiliation of being rejected by you over and over again.”
“And he told you… all of that.”
“He was right, wasn’t he?” Pyrrha questions the heiress.
Weiss looks up at the shattered moon.
“I judged him. Something I shouldn’t have done. When Ruby called me out on it this afternoon she just confirmed what I already knew but was too proud to admit. And Jaune… just by observing me and listening to one of my songs he understood what I wanted.”
“And how do you feel about it?” Pyrrha asks a little anxious about the answer.
“I don’t know. I just will follow what Ruby told me, I guess, and try to know him better… the real him, not that stupid, overconfident act he puts up.”
“That was his father’s fault actually.” Pyrrha laughs. “Gave him some advice about girls, saying that all he need is confidence.”
“That’s… a very foolish advice.” Weiss raises ‘Pyrrha’ eyebrows.
“I know, right?”
“By the way… You have been holding out on us. Your team have Jaune cooking for you, we get take out or the leftovers of the cafeteria on the weekends. That is not fair.”
Pyrrha smirks in the same irritating way Blake does.
“The perks of having Jaune as our team leader.” she says smugly. “By the way, Ruby knows. Where do you think she gets those large cookies she eats on the weekends?”
“That little liar said that she got them ordering on Valefood. And there is another thing that you haven’t told us.” Weiss smirks at Pyrrha. “You have been checking out Jaune’s progress in the fitness department.”
Pyrrha blushes hard.
“W-What? I-I-I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Nora told me.”
“I-I… Wait, that means you have been checking him out too.”
Now is Weiss turn to blush.
“W-Well… H-He walked out of the bathroom wearing only a shirt and boxers, I didn’t know where to look.”
“And I bet you decided to look at his butt.” Pyrrha glares at Weiss.
“So what? I know you have been eyeing it as well.” Weiss glares back.
“I can because I helped sculpt that.” Pyrrha argues.
“You sound like a pervert.” Weiss accuses.
“So do you.”
They just glare at each other, before both start to giggle.
“Ah! By the way. Jaune lend to me a comic book called The Kidnapped Ice Princess. To keep appearances you should read it, I heard from both Ruby and Blake that it is a very good story.” Pyrrha tells Weiss.
“Seriously… a comic book?” Weiss raises an eyebrow, before letting out a sigh. “Fine, I will read it. But it better be really good.”
Chapter 4: The Date with the Little White Without a Hood
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
“Let me see you with the blue shirt now.” ‘Pyrrha’ asks of Jaune.
It’s the morning of Sunday and Weiss/Pyrrha is helping Jaune in choosing an attire for his date with… well, in a way, herself.
“So?” Jaune asks, wearing the blue shirt.
“Hmm… You look better with the white shirt and wear a red necktie if you have one.”
“I have a black one.” Jaune says.
“It will have to do.” she sighs. “And wear the black pants and the shoes you showed me.”
“Thanks Pyr.” he smiles at her.
“I-It’s not a problem. You are my partner after all.” she blushes a little.
Jaune picks up his clothes and enters the bathroom to shower. Weiss/Pyrrha take this opportunity to go help Ruby get ready for the date, when she enters the room, Ruby/Weiss is already sitting in front of the mirror, already dressed and waiting for Weiss.
“Morning Weiss.” Greets Ruby/Weiss.
“Good morning.” Weiss/Pyrrha greets back then frowns at her. “You will have to do something about the way you speak or Jaune will know that it is you.” she then takes the hair brush and starts to work.
“For me it’s a little strange to have long hair.” Ruby/Weiss says while Weiss/Pyrrha is working.
“I am sure you will get used to it, maybe even like it enough to let your own hair grow.”
“Hmmm… Maybe.”
“I will let your… my hair in a low ponytail, just tie some ribbons and it’s done.”
Ruby/Weiss stands up from the chair and turns around to see it in the mirror.
“It looks really good on you.” she grins at Weiss/Pyrrha.
“I know it does. OHOHOHOHO!” the heiress in the champion body laughs in a pompous way.
Just as Ruby/Weiss puts her shoes on, there is a knock on the door.
“OHO! Your prince charming have come.” Yang/Ruby goes to open the door. Ruby/Weiss, Weiss/Pyrrha and Pyrrha/Blake blush at the comment while Blake/Yang snickers quietly on her bed.
“Heya! V… Jaune!” Opening the door with a grin, Yang/Ruby jaw drops seeing Jaune dressed in black jeans pants, white shirt and a black necktie, his hair combed back. Inside the room Weiss, Ruby, Pyrrha and Blake are staring and blushing.
“Hi, Ruby. I have come to pick up Weiss.” He grins, in his hands is a bouquet of white lilies.
“Oh! Right.” Yang/Ruby then looks inside to see the blushing mess of the other girls. “Weiss. Jaune is here for you.” she calls out, making Weiss/Pyrrha come out of her stupor and nudge Ruby/Weiss.
“Ah! O-Of course.” Ruby/Weiss goes to the door. “Good morning, Jaune.” she greets a little nervous.
“Good morning, Weiss. You look beautiful.” Jaune smiles happily at being called Jaune instead of Arc by ‘Weiss’. “Here, these are for you.” he gives the bouquet to her. “I saw you looking at the lilies in the garden the other day and you seemed to like them.”
“T-Thank you. They are beautiful.” she takes it blushing and Weiss/Pyrrha comes forward quickly.
“I will put them in the water.” she takes the bouquet. “You can go to your… date without worries.”
“Right… Why are you here, Pyr?” he asks confused.
“She was helping me with my hair.” Ruby/Weiss answers quickly.
“Oh! She helped me choose my clothes too. Shall we go?”
“Sure.” she turns to her body exchanged friends. “Bye!”
As soon as the door closes, Yang/Ruby turns to look at Weiss/Pyrrha that is happily smelling the lilies.
“What did you do with V.B.?”
“What?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks confused. “I just made sure he looked good for a date with… me.”
“Good indeed.” Blake/Yang says licking her lips.
The way she said it attracts the attention of Yang/Ruby.
“I KNEW IT!” she points to Blake/Yang. “You have a crush on V.B.”
“I do not.” the girl that is not a faunus anymore denies blushing.
“The reason you always look away from him is because you are embarrassed.” Yang/Ruby accuses.
“I-It’s not.”
Pyrrha/Blake doesn’t moves her eyes from the door as a small trickle of blood runs down from her nostrils.
“Did you do all that? Even the flowers?” she asks the heiress in her body.
“Actually no… The hair and flowers were his doing alone. He… he knew… how did he know that I like white lilies?”
“Maybe he’s a stalker?” Yang/Ruby says grinning.
“HE IS NOT!” Both Pyrrha and Blake yell at her. They look at each other, before Pyrrha/Blake continues. “He saw you on more than one occasion in the garden while we were going to the library and you were always looking at the lilies.”
“I-I see. That’s very sweet of him.” she blushes again.
________________________________________________________________________________
Ruby/Weiss and Jaune leave the bullhead, the looks they received from the students of Beacon as they passed made her really embarrassed. Of course, the great majority of the looks were of disbelieve that Jaune Arc finally got a date with Weiss Schnee of all people.
“As I promised, we will go anywhere you want to go.” Jaune tells her.
Ruby/Weiss puts her finger on her lips thinking a little. She would like to go to a weapons store, but Jaune would know that something is wrong. Weiss would go to a fancy restaurant or a place where they can dance, but she is not a good dancer. Then she remembers something that both her and Weiss like.
“I am in the mood for a movie today.” She answers him.
Jaune smiles nodding and they walk to the nearest movie theater. Jaune looks at the selection of movies, there is a horror movie, a historical drama movie, an action one and a romance one.
‘I bet she will choose either the drama or the romance one.’ he thinks.
“I want to see that one.” she points to the action movie poster.
“Really?” Jaune looks surprised by her choice. She nods at him. “Then I will go buy the tickets.”
‘Never expected for her to choose that one.’
‘Oh No! Weiss would never choose that…’ Ruby also realizes her mistake, but then again. ‘Whatever, It’s me that is here to have fun with Jaune, not Weiss.’
Jaune comes back with the tickets and they get in the line for the popcorn.
“I didn’t know you like action movies.” he comments.
“I-I just felt like watching one today.” she explains.
They get to their seats and the movie starts. Jaune notices that she is really invested on the movie, laughing at the silly jokes, getting invested in the action scenes and even rooting for the hero.
‘I am glad she is having fun. But why does she remind me of Ruby?’
As the movie comes to an end. Jaune gets up from his seat, only to have ‘Weiss’ grab the sleeve of his shirt.
“Where are you going? There is the post-credit scenes.”
“Oh! Right.” he sits down again.
After the brief 30 seconds scene that changes all the understanding of the movie, they leave the theater.
“I am a little hungry.” Ruby/Weiss says.
“I know a good place to eat. If that’s okay with you.” he looks a little nervous.
“Sure- I mean… I don’t see the problem if the place is as good as you say.” she fidgets a little.
Jaune guides her to a restaurant not far from the theater.
“Maison d’la Lune?” She reads the big board with the restaurant name.
“I promise, it’s a good restaurant.” they get inside and are guided to a table.
They order their food and that’s another mistake Ruby makes. Weiss normally eats lightly, except when we are talking about sweets, she would have a salad and pasta al dente or the salmon… Ruby, on the other hand, orders a lasagna and a portion of fries that she dips on the sauce to eat, to drink she gets a strawberry soda. Jaune looks a little spooked.
‘What is going on here? That is not what Weiss would normally get.’ Jaune have been eating with Team RWBY for some time now, he got to see their eating habits. ‘Yang would go for the red meat, lots of meat. Blake it’s fish, any kind of fish. Pyr would balance it with a salad and chicken. Nora… pancakes… always pancakes. Now, Ruby she would go for the lasagna and-’
“I saw cookies on the menu, let’s order some.” ‘Weiss’ speaks happily.
‘Yeah… that.’
“Jaune.” she whispers to him catching his attention. “There is a blonde woman watching us from the kitchen’s door. Ah! She just took a picture.”
Jaune let’s out a sigh.
“Just ignore her. She is harmless and the one that made the food. Do you like it?”
“Yes, it’s delicious. She is the chief then?”
“The owner actually.”
“And you know her?” she asks surprised.
“I do… she also happens to be one of my older sisters. I am sorry, if that is bothering you, I will go talk to her.”
“That explains a lot. Don’t worry, I know a thing or two about older sisters.”
“You have an older sister? I didn’t know that.”
“Of course you do, it’s Y-” she pauses and almost slaps herself. “She lives in Atlas. I am sure I told you that already.” she tries to cover up her mistake.
“You didn’t.”
“I see. My mistake.”
Jaune once more is surprised.
‘Weiss is admitting that she made a mistake… Is the world coming to an end? I should check the sky to see if there are any flying cows.’
They leave the restaurant, but not before Jaune makes Violette erase the picture she took of them. Ruby already knows what their next stop will be, The Game Center near the Bullhead Station.
“The Game Center? Are you sure?” Jaune asks once again surprised by her choice.
“Yep!” in her excitement Ruby threw away all caution with her speech pattern, returning to her normal way of speaking. “Don’t you want to?” she gives the puppy eyes.
With her silver eyes and baby face, Jaune would fold after a minute or two… now with Weiss doing it, Jaune fall is almost immediate.
“If that’s what you want.”
“YAY!” she grabs Jaune’s right hand and drags him inside the place.
Ruby/Weiss goes around playing some games, mostly shooting games, like House of the Grimm or Virtual Hunter, Jaune just follows her.
“I though that I would finally get my revenge on you.” Is what ‘Weiss’ says after losing to him in King of Hunters 98. It makes Jaune raise an eyebrow at her.
‘What’s she talking about? I never played against her before. From Team RWBY only Ruby and Yang…’ Jaune eyes widen, ‘The way she is acting and talking… even her eating habits… they are all Ruby’s. Why? What’s going on?’
“Jaune look.” Ruby/Weiss stops in front of the claw machines. “It’s so cute. I am going to get it.”
She is looking at a plushie of a dog with a cloak holding a scythe.
‘That’s really not something that would catch Weiss attention… Ruby on the other hand.’
“Noooooo!” She pouts when the plushie falls from the claw.
“Let me try.” Jaune offers.
“Are you good at it?”
“Every time we go to the game center in Ansel, my little sisters make me catch some plushies for them… they have a big collection now.”
It took three tries but Jaune was not only able to catch the little dog with the scythe but also a fencing fox with a cape, a hat with a thin sword in one of it's little pawns.
“Thank you, Jaune.” she hugs the plushies to her chest. “Are you sure that I can have it?”
“Of course. And you can give the fox to Weiss.”
“She will love it.” Ruby/Weiss assures him, before it dawns on her what he said. “Eh?”
Jaune just keeps looking at her.
“W-What are you talking about you-you-you dolt? Yes! You Dolt.” she tries to cover it up, but the secret was out.
“Save it, Ruby.” he let’s out a sigh. “Let’s sit down and talk, okay?”
Ruby/Weiss looks down and nods. They find a bench in a park nearby.
“Okay.” starts Jaune. “I will say what I think happened and you can correct me if I am wrong.”
She nods again, still not looking at Jaune.
“First, I am not mad at you, I know you must have a reason for not telling me about whatever happened.” he takes a deep breath. “I think something happened two days ago in the dust lab and now you look like Weiss and the others too have changed appearances.”
Ruby/Weiss is impressed by how close to the truth Jaune got in his first try. She wanted to tell him everything, but promised the others that she wouldn’t.
“It… It was a bet.” she tries to cover it up again. “We made a bet that we could act like our partners, that’s why I am acting like Ruby.”
“Right… I see, okay. Then, since you are not Ruby. I can say something that have been in my chest for a long time. Don’t you think Crescent Rose is just a big wheat cutter?”
Ruby/Weiss gasps.
“HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY BABY! TAKE IT BACK!” she yells furious at him. “Ah!”
He just grins at her.
“I got you. I noticed the changes, but didn’t want to say anything. Every day since your meeting with Ozpin, in every meal you try to eat cookies but the others stop you, it’s to not give you away, right?”
“They are mean, just one cookie won’t hurt. I know Weiss likes them too.”
“Can I assume that Weiss is the Ruby I saw these last few days.” he thinks a little. “No, Weiss doesn’t act like that either.”
“I can’t tell you.” she says to him. “I made a promise.”
“And you will keep it. I won’t force you to tell me.”
Ruby/Weiss smiles at him, relieved.
“Well, you were really easy to recognize.” he grins.
“Why?” she pouts at him.
“Because I know you. The way you talk, how you walk always with a little spring in your steps, quite different from Weiss that is always prim and proper. When you smile, you don’t hold back. And you do that cute thing with your nose when you don’t like something.”
‘C-Cute? Me?’ she thinks and was getting really red while Jaune was describing her. “Eh?” is all that comes out of her mouth.
“I think Ruby is cute, since the day we meet on that crater.” he chuckles oblivious of the effect he was having on her.
Ruby already had a crush on him, and now it was becoming something more with each word he said about her.
‘Cute… He thinks I am cute. And he is not using me to get to Yang. I… I…’
She grabs Jaune’s face and kiss him right in the mouth.
Jaune is too surprised to react, he really did not expect that. But in the heat of the moment responds to the kiss.
Suddenly ‘Weiss’ jumps away from him with a surprised look. She looks down at her hands, then at Jaune.
“Y-You… What?” she stammers confused. “I-I have to go.” she runs out of the park in the direction of the bullhead station.
“R-Ruby just kissed me?” Jaune is still stunned looking up at the afternoon sky.
________________________________________________________________________________
In RWBY room, Ruby looks around confused.
“Yang, it’s your turn.” Blake/Yang calls out to her.
The board of Remnant The Game was open in the floor, ‘Pyrrha’, ‘Blake’ and ‘Yang’ were looking at her.
“Errr… I am Ruby. I am back in my body.”
“WHAT?” The other three stand up.
“What did you do?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks eager to know.
“I don’t know… I was out with Jaune and we were having lots fun.” she pauses and the others nod urging for her to continue. “We went to the Game Center.” Weiss/Pyrrha frowns at that, but let it go. “Then he called me Ruby… he knew who I was even while I was in Weiss’ body.” she gives a small smile at that, a smile that the others didn’t quite like. “We went to the park near the Bullhead Station to talk.. and… I… I kissed him.”
“WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTT???????” The other girls scream could be heard from the top of Ozpin’s tower.

Chapter Text
The scene inside Team RWBY room is what one would call chaotic. Pyrrha/Blake was on the floor in shock after hearing that Ruby kissed Jaune while in Weiss body, Blake/Yang was trying and failing in holding back Weiss/Pyrrha that at this moment is furiously shaking Ruby, her face red in anger.
“WHY? WHY? WHY? HOW COULD YOU KISS HIM USING MY BODY?”
“Air… Air…” Ruby gasps her face turning blue.
“You are going to kill her, Weiss.” Blake is finally able to push Weiss away from Ruby that is now taking deep breaths.
“She deserves it. What would you do if she was using your body to kiss your crush?” Weiss says and in the heat of the moment didn’t think before speaking.
Silence falls on room, Pyrrha looks at Weiss with her jaw open, Ruby makes a O with her mouth, as if now things made sense and Blake just lets out a sigh.
“I-I mean… You understand what I meant by that.” Weiss tries to cover it up.
“Well… I would be very disappointed and angry… of course I would be angry… how could she use such a dirty trick…” she glares at Ruby, that takes a step back. “You… DIRTY LITTLE BITCH!!!”
And now is Weiss trying to hold back Blake that is struggling to reach Ruby.
“Calm down everyone.” Pyrrha raises from the floor. “We can discuss about Ruby ki-ki-kissing Jaune later. First we need to know the details about how she got back to her body.”
Weiss and Blake nod at what Pyrrha said.
“Now tells us what happened… traitor.” Pyrrha mutters the last part but all heard it.
“W-Well it all started when he discovered I was not Weiss-” Ruby starts to explain when the door of the room opens.
“You have a lot to explain little lady.” an angry looking “Weiss” enters the room.
“I guess you are Yang.” Blake says.
“You can bet your ass I am.” Yang/Weiss looks again at Ruby. “And you, why did I suddenly found myself kissing Vomit Boy in a park?”
“You didn’t hurt him did you? I was the one that started the kiss.” Ruby looks worried.
“Of course not. With you sitting on his lap and grabbing his face the way you were doing, I didn’t need to be a genius to know what happened.”
Ruby sighs in relieve as the other girls glare at her.
“Sitting on his lap.” growls Weiss/Pyrrha.
“Grabbing his face.” Pyrrha/Blake growls next.
“Is he a good kisser?” Blake/Yang asks.
“Oh! Yeah he is. Very gentle… I prefer a little more rough but it was nice.” Yang/Weiss answers her before shaking her head. “That is not the point. You kissed Jaune using Weiss-Cream body, that is just wrong, Rubes.”
“He knew who I was and I think that is part of the reason that I returned to my body.”
“Explain.” Weiss/Pyrrha sits on a chair paying attention.
“I believe there are two factors that made me return to my body. The first was when he discovered who I was even without me telling him, the second was… was…” Ruby blushes.
“Let me guess, you kissing him.” Weiss/Pyrrha glare intensifies.
“No.” she glares back at Weiss. “The kiss was a result… The second was me being honest… I admitted to myself that I love Jaune and showed it to him.”
Pyrrha/Blake legs give out and she falls butt first on the floor. Weiss/Pyrrha feels something very uncomfortable on her chest, like Ruby was stealing something important from her. Blake/Yang left eyebrow start to tick as she feels irritated. Yang/Weiss looks at her sister unimpressed.
“Well, finally… I was wondering when you were going to tell him.”
“You knew?” Ruby looks embarrassed at her sister.
“Well… you are always trying to get his attention and even show off when he is nearby. So… Yeah I was suspicious that you had a crush on him.”
“The same way you do?” asks Blake/Yang.
“What?” Yang/Weiss looks surprised at Blake.
“Right.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at her. “Nora mentioned it. Yang is always ogling Jaune in the gym,”
Blake/Yang nods grinning at the brawler in the heiress body. Pyrrha/Blake raises from the floor once more and glares at her.
“Well… I mean…”
There is a knock on the door.
“Girls? Is… Weiss back? She left some of her things with me.” they hear the voice of Jaune.
“Saved by the bell.” Blake grins again at Yang before opening the door. “Hey… V.B.!”
Jaune looks at her in silence.
“I guess it’s true, you are not Yang. That V.B. was too forced.”
“And now you decide to stop being dense.” mutters Blake\Yang.
“What?”
“Nothing, come in. I guess you want an explanation.”
“An explanation would be nice.” Jaune gets inside. “But before that.” he looks at Yang/Weiss and blushes a little. “H-Here, you forgot these, Ruby.” he shows the two plushies.
“Actually I am here, Jaune.” Ruby says to him. “I got back to my body.”
“Oh! That is great.” he gives her the plushies. “Now, please, tell me what happened.”
Ruby looks at the others that nod at her and she tells Jaune about the explosion and that Ozpin and Goodwitch knew about what happened.
“So… a dust explosion… and you ask me why I don’t use the stuff.”
Weiss/Pyrrha is about to protest, but Pyrrha/Blake makes a shush gesture and shakes her head. Weiss understands, it would be a give away. So she settles by just glaring at Jaune.
“And who is who here?”
“We can’t tell you.” Ruby says. “I believe that being recognized by someone close when in the body of another is the trigger for us to return to normal.” she chose to leave out the other factor.
Jaune nods.
“I see. Okay… That’s fair.” he looks at Ruby again and the blush returns to both of their faces. “I-I will go back to JNPR room then. Pyr…” he looks at Weiss/Pyrrha. “well… see you later?”
“Y-Yes. I will go back soon.”
Jaune leaves the room.
“Well, he is sensible enough to not mention what happened in the park while in front of others.” Weiss/Pyrrha says.
“Now I am gonna be nervous every time we are alone.” Ruby pouts with her face still red, she looks at the plushies on her arms. “Ah! Here Weiss, this one is for you.” she gives the fox to her partner in Pyrrha’s body.
“For me?” she looks surprised and takes the fencing fox plushie. “It’s so cute, thank you.” she smiles grateful.
“Thank Jaune. He got it knowing that it was me in your body and told me to give it to you.”
“I see.” she looks a little troubled. “I shall thank him properly as soon as I return to my body.”
Pyrrha/Blake is silent before she looks at Ruby.
“You kissed Jaune in the park near the Bullhead Station, right?”
“That’s right. Why?”
“That place have a large influx of people, including students of Beacon, specially on weekends, doesn’t it?” Pyrrha looks at Weiss.
“It does…” Weiss/Pyrrha eyes widen. “Oh! No.”
________________________________________________________________________________
The next day both teams are in the cafeteria eating breakfast. Many guys that pass by their table look at Jaune and gives him a nod of respect, Cardin even gives a thumbs up.
“What is going on?” Nora asks confused. “Did they finally understand how awesome Fearless Leader is?”
“I don’t think that is case Nora.” Ren tells her, “I heard some rumors.”
“W-What rumors?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks fearing the answer.
“That Jaune and Weiss are dating. Some students saw them kissing in a park yesterday.”
Jaune almost chokes on his cereal, Weiss/Pyrrha glares at Ruby that drops her cookie, Pyrrha/Blake looks at Yang/Weiss and signs for her to say something.
“Er…I… Y-You shouldn’t believe in gossip Ren. It’s not like I want to date Jaune or anything.” she gives a bad performance as the tsundere heiress.
Ren raises an eyebrow at Yang/Weiss.
“If it was just one person that claimed that they saw you, I wouldn’t believe. But at least five witnesses from our class confirm that it happened.”
“F-Five?” Weiss/Pyrrha slaps her forehead.
“Hey! Arc.” they hear a familiar voice calling for them.
The knight turns and sees Coco approaching, grinning at him.
“Good morning, Coco.” he greets her.
“Good indeed, you dog, you.” she slaps his back. “Finally did it. Huh?”
“I-”
“And it’s all over the gossip tabloids now.”
“WHAT?” both Jaune and Weiss/Pyrrha scream.
Coco shows them her scroll.
“Who is the mysterious boy that stole the SDC princess heart?” Jaune read out loud, there is a picture, but thankfully, Jaune’s face doesn’t show. “There is no proof that it’s me on that picture.” he argues.
“T-That is right.” confirms Weiss/Pyrrha.
“You say that, but a lot of students saw you and Schnee leaving Beacon together and were being quite cozy with each other.”
Weiss/Pyrrha turns pale.
“What is wrong?” Ruby asks concerned.
“This is a problem… a big problem.” she whispers to Ruby. “My father will definitely hear about this or worse… my sister.”
“Why is your sister worse?” Pyrrha/Blake asks curious.
“While my father would just call me to hear an explanation, my sister could come here to know Jaune.”
“Overprotective sister?” Ruby says glaring at Yang/Weiss that looks away.
“When it comes to these kind of things, very much so.” confirms Weiss.
Jaune’s scroll rings, he looks at the caller ID.
“Jeanne?”
The girls from team RWBY look at each before they look at Pyrrha/Blake.
“One of his younger sisters.” she whispers to them.
“Who is the cute girl that you are kissing in that picture?” they hear the excited voice of the girl.
“Good morning to you too, Jeanne.” he glares at her. “How about an ‘I miss you, Jaune.’ or ‘How are you doing, Jaune?’”
“Yeah! Yeah! So, who is she? The article says that she is the SDC princess… what’s SDC?”
Weiss/Pyrrha was about to say something, but Jaune was quicker.
“She is not of your business. If she wants me to tell others about her, then I will tell you.” he scolds his sister.
“Not fair.” Jeanne pouts. “After what you did with Duncan I have the right to know.”
“Duncan is an asshole that deserved what he got. I was in my big brother rights to do what I did. And it was approved by mom, dad, Joan and Vi.”
“Mom didn’t approve.”
“But she didn’t disapprove either.” he argues back. “Look, I will call you later, okay? I have to finish breakfast before going to class.”
“Fine. Bye. Love you, jerk.”
“Love you too.”
Everyone at the table and Coco looks at him as he finishes he call.
“W-What?”
“What did you do with this Duncan?” Yang/Weiss asks for future references.
“Nothing permanent.” is the answer she receives as Jaune grins.
“Very well.” Weiss/Pyrrha tries another approach. “And what did he do to receive said… punishment.”
“He was a jerk that didn’t have any respect for the girls he was dating, I mean what would you call a guy that was dating a girl and at the same time was flirting with any other girl that was around?”
“What a poop head.” Ruby says frowning.
“Scum.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at the table.
“He should drop dead.” Blake/Yang nods.
“I would have a thing or two to say to him.” Yang/Weiss eyes flash red a second, thankfully no one noticed.
“…” Pyrrha/Blake just stays quiet… but the thoughts going around in her head were very violent, the ribbon on top of her head move a little.
In Heaven Academy a certain Neptune Vasilias had a sudden sneezing fit and felt a shiver running up his spine as he is preparing himself to go to Beacon Academy for the Vytal Festival.
“What’s wrong?” asks Scarlet.
“I just started to have second thoughts about going to Vale.”
________________________________________________________________________________
After classes Team RWBY and Pyrrha go to Ozpin’s office to tell him about Ruby returning to her body.
“Curious. All it took was for Mr. Arc to recognize you for the change to occur?” Glynda that was also there asks the young girl.
“Well…” Ruby blushes. “That and…” she looks away, but Yang elbows her and nods in Ozpin direction. “I had to be honest with my feelings for him.”
“I see. Then Mr. Arc know about the incident.” Ozpin crosses his arms.
“He does. And is willing to help us.” Pyrrha/Blake confirms.
“Does he know who is who between you all?” Glynda asks.
“No, we didn’t tell him and Jaune understands why.” Weiss/Pyrrha answers.
Glynda and Ozpin exchange looks. Weiss really improved her relationship with Jaune in such a short time.
“Very well. Maybe Mr. Arc will be who we need to solve this problem. You may go now.”
As the girls leave, Glynda grins at Ozpin and extends her hand.
“Pay up. I told you Ms. Rose had a crush on him.”
Grumbling Ozpin gives a hundred lien to Glynda, that laughs at her victory.
________________________________________________________________________________
Weiss/Pyrrha is on the training room watching Ren and Jaune sparring in hand-to-hand combat. Ren had more experience, is a skilled martial artist and is quicker than Jaune. But Jaune had more stamina and is physically stronger. While it was obvious that Ren was going to win, Jaune didn’t make it easy for him, even catching him by surprise with a well placed punch that turned into a sequence of hits, that Ren was only able to break off thanks to Jaune hesitation.
‘He really improved greatly.’ she thinks.
“You are staring again.” Nora voice comes from her side.
“I-I wasn’t.” she stammers blushing, looking at the grinning auburn haired girl, but notices Yang/Weiss calling her over from the door of the training room.
“Excuse me for a moment, Nora. Y-Weiss is calling for me.”
She moves quickly to the door.
“We have a problem.” Yang tells her. “Your sister called. Ruby answered and said you where on the training room and forgot your scroll in our room, but she will call again tonight. I think she saw the gossip tabloid. What do we do?”
Weiss pales hearing that.
“I-I think that I will pass out.”

Chapter Text
Jaune and Ren had just finished their spar, they go get their water bottles, and Jaune notices that ‘Pyrrha’ is not there.
“Where is Pyrrha?”
“Weissy called her, then she came back got her stuff and left. Said she had some personal emergency.” Nora explains to him.
“I see.” Jaune looks in the door direction. ‘First that stuff between “Weiss” and me in the CCTNet happened and now Weiss, that I know is not really Weiss, come calling for Pyrrha… that I know is not really Pyrrha.’ the dots start to link on his head. ‘She asked all those questions before my date with Ruby, that at the time was in Weiss body, and was in RWBY room helping Ruby getting ready.’ his eyes widen. “Oh! Gods.” he says out loud making Ren and Nora look at him.
“What is it Jaune-Jaune?” Nora asks concerned by the look on his face.
“You look concerned, even spooked, I would say.” Ren says next.
“Ah! It’s nothing, don’t worry. I will go take a shower.” he grabs his stuff and leaves. ‘If she was Weiss all along… then I told her everything. Well, almost everything…’ his face gets red just thinking about that possibility. ‘ARRRGGH!!! I hate dust, I seriously hate it.’
“What is wrong with him?” Nora looks confused.
“Maybe he noticed that Pyrrha likes him and is afraid that she will hurt Weiss, now that those rumors started going around.” Ren looks at Nora, they stay silent for few seconds.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! NICE ONE!” Nora burst out laughing.
“I aim to please.” Ren grins at her.
“I love Jaune-Jaune, but he is just so dumb when it comes to this stuff.”
________________________________________________________________________________
In RWBY room things were just as chaotic as Jaune’s mind at the moment.
“Okay, what do we do? She will be calling soon.” Yang/Weiss is having a melt down, since she will be the one talking with Winter.
“First, no puns, she will know right away that something is wrong.” Weiss/Pyrrha paces around the room. “You can speak normally with her, just, don’t use slang or bad words.”
“You rich people are really no fun.” Yang/Weiss complains.
“We are polite, that is what.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at her.
“More like stuck up.” Ruby murmurs from her bed.
“What was that?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks in a warning tone.
“Nothing!” squeaks out Ruby.
“Knowing her, she will start with a normal pleasant conversation, asking the basics, like how am I, what have I been doing recently… that is a trap.” Weiss explains.
“A trap?” Blake/Yang looks up from her book.
Weiss/Pyrrha nods.
“She wants you to lower your guard and then she will ask about Jaune and that is when you will have to tell her that nothing is going on between us.”
“Weiss… They have pictures and witnesses, you can’t just deny things like that… why not tell her that it’s was a prank or a dare.” Pyrrha/Blake tries to think of some excuse.
Weiss/Pyrrha shakes her head.
“Winter won’t believe it and she will get really mad at me… I mean… kissing someone that have a crush on you just because of a dare or as a prank is cruel.”
“You are right. I am sorry.” Pyrrha/Blake apologizes, inside she is happy knowing that Weiss won’t do such a thing with Jaune.
“But you would kiss him for real.” Yang/Weiss suddenly says.
There is silence in the room.
“Keep in mind that Winter will want to confirm some things about Jaune.” Weiss continues to explain, ignoring Yang.
‘She is not denying it.’ the other four occupants of the room think.
“What kind of things?” Ruby asks.
“W-Well… I might have been a little harsh in what I have written about him in my letters to Winter.” Weiss/Pyrrha scratches her left cheek.
“What did you tell her?” Pyrrha/Blake glares at Weiss.
“M-Maybe… just maybe… I told her that he was annoying, stupid, a dolt and a dunce.”
The other four girls glare at her.
“I don’t think like that anymore. I was wrong about him, but my sister don’t know that.” she left out the fact that she also called him cute in her letters.
“That talk with your sister will be really fun.” Yang/Weiss says sarcastically while she facepalms.
“What if your sister wants to talk with Jaune?” Ruby asks.
Everyone freezes hearing that.
“That… didn’t cross my mind.” Weiss/Pyrrha looks really worried now. “It could become really problematic… After all, he almost blurted out that Blake is a faunus in the library, he could end up talking about our situation.”
Weiss/Pyrrha scroll rings, she nervously look at the caller ID.
“It’s Winter.” she tells the others. “Here.”
Yang/Weiss takes the scroll, gulps and answers it.
“H-Hello.”
“Weiss, it’s good to finally talk with you. I take that your partner gave you my message.”
“She did. It’s rare for you to call.” Yang/Weiss says and looks up seeing Weiss/Pyrrha waving her hands.
“Rare? We talk at least once a week.” Winter says with a raised eyebrow. Weiss/Pyrrha glares at Yang/Weiss.
“I meant to say that I wish we could talk more often.” Yang nervously comes up with an excuse.
“That’s very sweet of you, sister. I wish the same.” Everyone breaths out in relieve. “If my job takes me near Vale, we should meet, drink coffee and eat some cake.” Winter smiles at ‘Weiss’.
“That would be wonderful, sister.” Yang sees Weiss/Pyrrha nodding in approval of her acting.
“And of course, you should bring your new boyfriend. I really would like to meet him.” the smile is still on her face, but they could feel the pressure emanating from her.
“W-What are you talking about?” Yang starts to sweat.
“I saw the tabloids, Weiss.” Winter smile disappears and she looks serious.
“Look, Jaune and me-”
“Jaune?” Winter says, Weiss/Pyrrha facepalms. “That boy you would often talk about in your letters? That was him?” The others all turn to look at Weiss/Pyrrha that is now blushing with a mortified look.
“I don’t talk about him that often, do I?” Yang/Weiss resists the urge to grin as she tries to get information to embarrass Weiss.
“Well, in every letter you send to me there is an entire page just talking about him, most of it is complaining about him being annoying, among other things, but he is the one you talk about the most.” Winter gives a small smirk. “I really believed you had a crush on him, since you even call him cute sometimes. It seems that I was right.”
Yang/Weiss sees Weiss/Pyrrha almost passing out of embarrassment.
“I was wrong about him.” Yang says making Weiss/Pyrrha look at her. “He is really nice, hard working and funny too.” she is sincere, talking about her own view of Jaune.
“Does he value you for you?” Winter questions.
“He listens when I talk or complain and don’t say anything until I ask. He was really persistent in asking me out, but there was nothing bad behind it. And even now he is a little clueless about what the SDC is.” Yang/Weiss says smiling, Weiss/Pyrrha just keeps looking without reaction, Yang vision of Jaune is much like her own after what she learned.
‘Every thing she said is true, he listens when I am complaining about something and he asking me on dates wasn’t as troublesome as I made it look.’ Weiss reflects as her sister talks with the teammate in her body.
Winter nods in understanding.
“Very well. I would like to talk with him.”
“Winter, I don’t-” starts Yang/Weiss.
“Weiss, you either call him over or I will discover his scroll number and you know what will happen.” threatens Winter.
Yang/Weiss looks up at Weiss/Pyrrha that nods with a fearful look on her face.
“I will be right back.” Yang/Weiss gives the scroll to Weiss/Pyrrha and leaves the room.
“And while she is gone.” Winter says with a glare. “All of you come forward.”
Everyone gulps before getting in front of the scroll.
“My sister teammates and Pyrrha Nikos, I presume?”
They all nod.
“Tell me more about this… Jaune.” she says taking out a pen and a notepad.
In JNPR room, Jaune is laying on his bed reading the latest edition of X-Ray & Vav, when someone knocks on the door.
“Yes?” he calls out raising from the bed.
“It’s Y-Weiss… I need to talk with you.”
He opens the door and indeed ‘Weiss’ is there looking a little nervous.
“Hey… Weiss… or whoever you are.”
“Right… you know I am not her. The thing is, Weiss’ sister, Winter, saw the tabloids and called… now she wants to talk with you.”
Jaune lets out a sigh.
“I kind of expected something like that to happen. Let’s go.”
He followed Yang back to RWBY room. As they open the door, Ruby is talking with Winter.
“And he got her a stuffed toy. Even when out with his friends he thinks of her.”
“I see.” Winter says and writes something on her notepad.
“We are back.” says Yang/Weiss.
“Let me talk with him… I would like to ask for all of the others but Weiss to leave.” Winter says.
The others look at each other and obey. Weiss/Pyrrha looks at Yang/Weiss that nods at her. Jaune sits down beside Yang/Weiss.
“So, you are Jaune Arc. As you may know I am Weiss sister, Winter Schnee.”
“A pleasure. What can I do for you?”
“I will go direct to the point. Our father heard about your little affair as have many of the high society of Atlas. So I have to ask, what are your intentions with my sister?”
“My intentions? I just don’t want Weiss to feel lonely anymore.” he says honestly. Then he looks in Winter eyes. “Besides, I know you don’t give a crap about what your father or those high society guys think, you just want to protect Weiss.”
Winter smirks.
“And what makes you say that?”
“I’m an older brother myself. And not long ago, I did the same thing you are doing right now to a jerk trying to go out with my sister. Before I chased him away.”
“What did he do?”
“Was flirting with other girls right in the open while trying to date my sister.”
“A scumbag. And what did you do with him?”
“Do know those movies that show knights in a joust tournament?” Winter nods. “Well, I chased after him, mounted on a horse and holding a baseball bat, even with aura it hurts a lot to be hit by it.” Jaune grins.
‘Nice one, V.B.’ thinks Yang impressed. ‘So that’s what happened with that Duncan guy.’ she holds back the urge to laugh ‘I should be taking notes, could use bumblebee instead of a horse.’
Holding back is something that Winter doesn’t do, almost falling from her chair as she laughs.
“That is a good one you have there, Weiss.” she says laughing. “Very well, I approve. But I will be keeping an eye on you.”
“Fair enough.” Jaune says.
“Just out of curiosity. You mentioned sisters. How many do you have?”
“Seven. Three older and four younger.”
“That’s… quite the number.” Winter says impressed.
‘You can say that again.’ Yang/Weiss looks impressed at Jaune.
“I hear that a lot.” he smirks taking out his scroll and showing Winter a picture.
Winter takes a look, but her eyes fix on the two little girls on Jaune’s lap.
“Can I adopt those two sitting on your lap?”
“Sorry, that is not possible.” Jaune laughs. “Blanche and Noir are the cutest of the bunch. They just turned four last month. But, I will make a deal, if you ever meet I can make them call you Sister Winter.”
‘They really are cute. Not that I would trade Ruby for them… maybe.’ thinks Yang seeing the picture.
“You got yourself a deal, Mr. Arc.” Winter have a very faint blush on her face from imagining the little girls calling her that. “Well, I have some work to finish. I will be talking with you later, Weiss.”
“Goodbye, sister.”
Winter hangs up and both Jaune and Yang/Weiss let out a breath of relieve.
“You guys can come in.” she calls out.
The others get inside the room.
“How did it go?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks concerned.
“We had a normal talk, older sibling to older sibling. Nothing to worry about.” Jaune stands up. “I will be in JNPR room, got in a really good part of this month X-Ray & Vav.” he leaves the room.
The others look at each other.
“He talks like reading a comic book is like reading the Master of the Amulets trilogy.” Blake/Yang narrows her eyes looking at the door.
“Better comic books than those smut books you read.” Weiss/Pyrrha says receiving a glare from the faunus girl in Yang’s body.
“I keep telling you that those are art.”
“Whatever.” Weiss/Pyrrha turns to Yang/Weiss. “Did you tell her that I am not dating Jaune?”
Yang/Weiss freezes.
“Well… not exactly. She still thinks that you are dating… and she approves of V.B.” she pocks her fingers together like Ruby does sometimes. “Congratulations?”
“Youuuuuuu….” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at her.
“I got distracted, okay? Just ask him to show the pictures of his little sisters, you will understand.”
“They are really adorable. It can be distracting.” Pyrrha/Blake agrees.
“UGH!” Weiss/Pyrrha groans frustrated. “They better be really cute or I won’t forgive you.”
“Those things that you said about Jaune.” Ruby asks suddenly. “Where did they come from?”
Yang/Weiss face gets red.
“Well… I… Just… I mean, he is a nice guy and-”
“Just admit that you like him already.” Blake/Yang shots a glare in Yang/Weiss direction.
“Ugh… Fine! I like V.B., okay. He is nice to Ruby, really funny to tease, laughs at my jokes and when he talks to me, he looks into my eyes, not my boobs. He really respects and is not afraid of me.” She then glares back at Blake/Yang. “And you? Be a little brave, you scared cat, and tell us the truth.”
“I… don’t know what you are talking about.” Blake looks away from the owner of the body she’s in.
“The hell you don’t.” growls Yang/Weiss. “I saw you stalking him ever since that mess with the bunny girl from CFVY.”
“You saw me?” she asks surprised. “Ah!” the other girls all glare at her. “I-I mean, I wasn’t…” she lets out a sigh. “So what? I like him as well. He doesn’t care if I am a faunus and is a nice guy… a much better person than my last boyfriend. He also don’t criticize my tastes in literature.”
“Wait… that means that all of us like Jaune?” Ruby asks looking at the others.
“I-I don’t like him.” Weiss/Pyrrha denies blushing hard.
“Bullshit.” Yang/Weiss says, the other four nod agreeing with her. “Winter practically rubbed the proof on our faces. And P-Cat, don’t even try to deny.”
“I wasn’t going to.” Pyrrha/Blake says, the cat ears flat against her head.
“Jaune is just too dense to not notice.” Weiss/Pyrrha says shaking her head.
They all look at each other and the same though run through the mind of four of them.
‘I have four rivals.’
‘I have to ask if I can borrow this month issue of X-Ray & Vav later.’ is the thought of the fifth one.

Chapter Text
After Winter’s call, Weiss/Pyrrha goes back to JNPR room. She sees Jaune laying down on his bed reading a comic book. She swallows her pride and approaches him.
“Jaune, do you mind if I ask something of you?”
“Of course, Not Pyrrha.” he grins at her.
“Very funny.” Weiss/Pyrrha says dryly, glaring at him. “Could you show me the picture of your sisters?”
“I can… but why?”
“It’s just… W-Weiss said that your youngest sisters are really cute… I got curious.” she explains a little embarrassed.
Jaune picks up his scroll and shows her the same picture he showed Winter and Yang/Weiss.
“They… they… THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!!!! Look at them… this one have blonde hair and black tips on it, she looks so shy trying to hide her face in your hoodie. And the white haired one, she almost could be…” she stops talking for two reasons. The first was that she was about to say that Blanche could be her little sister with her appearance. The second reason was the look Jaune was giving her. “Err… I mean… I am sorry, I got a little excited.”
Jaune chuckles.
“Don’t worry, I know how cute Blanche and Noir are. Your sister said she wanted to adopt them.”
“Winter likes cute things just like I do…” Weiss/Pyrrha pauses, looks at Jaune, that’s giving her that infuriating grin again. “What gave it away?”
“Well… The questions you asked the other day, you helping Ruby getting ready for our date while she was in your body, you taking her cookies when she tried to eat them, your glare just now, that one I know very well. I was almost sure, so to confirm, I set a trap… and you fell for it.” He scratches the back of his head. “Sorry about that by the way.”
“There is no need to apologize.” she lets out a sigh. “That’s how you discovered that Ruby was in my body?”
“It was similar.” Jaune nods. “She tried to play it like it was a dare and she was you trying to imitate her for the day, but when I said that Crescent Rose was nothing more than a wheat cutter, she snapped.”
________________________________________________________________________________
In RWBY room, Ruby suddenly looks at door of the room and growls.
“What is wrong, Rubes?” Yang/Weiss asks her sister.
“Someone just insulted my baby. I can feel it.”
________________________________________________________________________________
“I see.” Weiss sits on Pyrrha’s bed. “Those things you said about me the other day. Did you mean it?”
“Every single word. I never lied to you, Weiss.” he says sincerely. “I just… sorry, that day in the locker room before Initiation, I acted like an ass.”
“I am sorry as well.” she says surprising Jaune. “I judged you wrongly… it’s a habit that I need to overcome… judging people. When you live in Atlas it’s quite difficult not to.”
Jaune smiles at her.
“You said that you like cute things.”
“Of course I do, those who say they don’t are liars or just plain evil.” she takes a look at the photo again. “I have an annoying little brother that barely talks to me and when he does, it’s to mock me. I just wish I could have little sisters as cute as them.” she pauses, thinks a little. ‘Maybe, that is possible.’ in her head she gives an evil grin.
______________________________________________________________________________
The next day.
The girls with bodies exchanged, plus Ruby, are sitting on their usual table in the cafeteria having afternoon tea or coffee in Weiss/Pyrrha case.
“For more that it annoys me, I have to accept that in the eyes of outsiders I am “dating” Jaune.” the look on Weiss/Pyrrha face does not match what is coming out of her mouth. The other four girls glare at her.
“Really? Because you look quite happy Ice-Money.” says Yang/Weiss snarling at her.
“Non-sense. I am not happy that others think that.” She looks away from Yang/Weiss. “As if normally I would date that dunce.”
“That is great, Weiss, I was worried that you liked Jaune, but since you don’t, I can ask Jaune if we could go out this next weekend.” Ruby says grinning.
“Wha… I-I do-don’t… I-” Weiss/Pyrrha starts to sweat a little.
“You already had your turn, sis.” Yang/Weiss smirks. “Now that I am in Weiss-Cream body, I should give it a shot in a date with V.B.”
“You are not going to use my body like that.” growls Weiss/Pyrrha. “And Jaune knows that I am on Pyrrha’s body.”
“You told him?” Pyrrha/Blake asks concerned.
“No, he discovered by himself.” Weiss/Pyrrha let’s out a sigh. “He is a lot smarter then he pretends to be, got me distracted and set up a trap… didn’t even see it coming.”
“He is a master strategist after all.” Pyrrha/Blake says, proud of her partner.
“He showed you the photo of his little sisters didn’t he?” Yang/Weiss asks and Weiss/Pyrrha nods.
“The cutest trap was laid before me… and I jumped right into it.”
“It’s kinda hard not to, they are just adorable.” Yang/Weiss nods in agreement. “What do you think, Blake?” she turns to look at her partner residing on her body… that is not there. “Where did she go? Damn… Even in my body she is sneaky.”
“Knowing her, she must be in the library.” Weiss/Pyrrha says and Ruby nods.
“Wait, it’s three in the afternoon of a Tuesday.” Pyrrha/Blake says.
“It is, and?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks.
“Jaune must be helping Professor Peach today.”
The other three girls look confused at her.
“He usually helps her with the heavy lifting, and that means…”
“OOOOOHHHHH!!!” The others understand immediately.
“You don’t think she is there watching, do you?” Ruby asks.
“Well… I don’t think she would spy on V.B. just to get a glimpse of his ass.” Yang/Weiss says but still looks worried.
“Taking the books she reads in consideration, I do believe she would.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at the chair that Blake/Yang was sitting minutes ago.
“Okay…” Yang/Weiss pauses. “She definitely is stalking V.B.”
They all rush out of the cafeteria to look for Blake/Yang.
Meanwhile in Professor Peach office, Jaune is helping by organizing the big jars on the top shelf of the cabinet.
“Thank you, Jaune. You have been a big help.” the short woman thanks her student.
“It is not a problem Ms. Peach. Happy to help and the least I could to thank you. The tea herbs you suggested to give my little sister really helped with her anxiety, my parents are really grateful as well.”
“Is she better now?”
“She is, according to my mom, Rouge is more calm and stopped crying at night.”
“I am really glad. When did her anxiety problems started?”
“After I came to Beacon.”
“She was very attached to you, wasn’t she?” the short woman grins at him.
“Yeah… a bit too much.” Jaune lets out a sigh, before spotting blonde hair in the middle of the bushes outside the window. He goes to the window opening it. “Yang? What are you doing?”
The blonde girl jumps up in surprise.
“Oh! He-Hey Jaune. Fancy meeting you here.” Blake/Yang greets him. ‘Should have know, it’s hard to hide in the middle of the blushes in Yang’s body, her blonde hair stands out too much.’
“Ms. Xiao Long.” calls out Professor Peach. “Instead of spying from the window, come inside and help him.”
“B-But I-” Blake/Yang starts, but stops seeing the glare of the short woman. “Yes, ma’am.”
She comes through the window and starts handing the jars to Jaune that is up on the stairs putting them on the shelves. After some minutes, the job is done.
“Thank you both.” The teacher smiles at them.
“No problem Professor. Same time next week?” Jaune asks.
“I will let you know if I need help.” she takes out, two candy bars. “Here.” she hands it to them.
They leave Professor Peach office.
“So,” Jaune starts, “What did you want to talk with me?”
“W-What are you talking about?” Blake/Yang looks startled at him. “I was there to talk with Professor Peach…” she stops, seeing the look on Jaune’s face. “Yeah… hard to believe that one.”
“Let’s sit down somewhere.”
They go to the garden and sit on one of the benches there.
“Well?” he asks.
“Well, what? There is nothing to talk about.” Blake/Yang looks away from him.
“Then you were just spying on me?” Jaune asks a little spooked. “You are a stalker? Wow! I have a stalker.”
“I am not a stalker.” she glares at Jaune.
“Then what were you doing?” he glares back.
They keep glaring at each before, Blake/Yang pouts.
“You are mean.”
“I am not mean. You are not making sense. I just don’t understand what is going on in your head right now.”
“I am confused, okay.” she almost shouts. “I came to Beacon to become a huntress and try to do something good, then I changed bodies with Yang and now my feelings are all over the place because I like someone that, thank Ohm, is the complete opposite of my ex-boyfriend that turned out to be a psychopath and an abusive jerk, and the idiot I like is so dense that a brick wall is nothing in comparison.”
Jaune looks at her wide eyed and she blushes hard at having just confessed to the dense guy she likes.
“Well… Feeling better now?” the dense idiot asks rubbing the back of his head. “That sure was bottled up in there.”
“A-Actually. Yes, I feel better.”
“Can I call you Blake now or just keep calling you Yang?”
Blake/Yang looks surprised at him.
“Did you discover by my outburst just now?”
“That too. You were just too quiet during lunch time these last few days, Yang, quiet during lunch? Come on.” Blake giggles when he says that. “And Yang don’t hide in bushes either, she would just come inside and start to talk to me. Also, you haven’t called me V.B. even once.”
“That is what I was missing.” mumbles Blake/Yang. “Jaune, can I ask you something?” she now asks out loud.
“Sure.”
“Why did you help Velvet when Cardin was bullying her?”
He looks confused at her.
“Because it was the right thing to do.” is the answer.
“But she is a faunus.”
“Doesn’t matter. She needed help so I helped. It just happened that she is a faunus.” his answer is sincere.
“A-And would you date a faunus girl?”
“I would.” again a quick and sincere answer.
“Why? I-I mean, they have animal traits.” she fidgets a little.
“I think most of the time it’s cute?”
“C-Cute?” she blushes again.
“Yeah. Your ears and Velvet’s are really cute, Doctor Tamamo’s too.”
Her blush intensifies.
“T-Thank you.” She bumps “her” head on his shoulder and rubs on him a little.
“That guy that you like, I bet he would be really happy to have you as his girlfriend.”
She looks at him in the eyes.
“Y-You think so?”
“Of course I do. I know that I would.”
“I-I see. Then perhaps I should do more than tell him, I will show him.” she smiles at Jaune.
“Cool.” he smiles just before Blake/Yang kisses him in the mouth.
He is surprised, but gets even more so, when she gives a gasp, then grabs his face and tries to shove her tongue on his mouth.
“AH!!!” They hear the voice of the other girls.
Suddenly ‘Yang’ let go of him, look into his eyes, blushes really hard and then shoves him away,
“I’M SORRY!” she screams with tears in her eyes as she runs away.
A little dizzy Jaune looks over to see Ruby pointing at where he was with ‘Yang’, while ‘Weiss’ and ‘Pyrrha’ are glaring and ‘Blake’ looks confused.
“Dammit, she is running away. Come back here, Blake.” Yang/Weiss shouts.
“What?” Blake says.
The other three turn to look at her.
“Blake?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks.
“Y-Yeah.” she shakes her head. “Wow, that is strange, I was over there a second ago and now I am back on my body.” her ribbon moves a little. “It’s good to have my ears back.” she smiles.
“As good as making out with Jaune just now?” Yang/Weiss glares. “Using my body.”
Blake takes a step back as the others glare at her.
“Make out? I just gave him a peck on the lips.” Blake says, “And then I was back here.”
“Wait.” Weiss/Pyrrha looks in the direction ‘Yang’ had run. “If you are back in your body… then the one kissing Jaune was Pyrrha.”
“And she ran away.” Ruby growls. “Let’s get her.” she shouts, and uses her semblance to go after Pyrrha/Yang, followed by Weiss/Pyrrha.
“You guys go after her, I need to talk with Blake.” Yang/Weiss turns her glare to where the faunus girl is… or where she was supposed to be, the brawler in the heiress body could see Blake running in the distance. “GET BACK HERE BLAKE!”
Jaune is still on the ground just recovering from being shoved aside. Ren and Nora see him there and come running to him. Ren helps him get up and Jaune stares at the bench.
“Jaune-Jaune what’s wrong?” Nora asks concerned. “Are you hurt? Why where you on the ground? Was it Cardin again? I will break his legs.” she growls.
“What?” Jaune comes out of his dazzled state. “Oh! No it wasn’t Cardin.” he answers her but looks again at the bench.
“Why are you looking so intensely at that bench?” Ren asks.
“Just thinking that maybe I should buy one of these or visit the garden and Vale parks more often.”
Nora looks confused at Jaune before turning to Ren that shrugs, just as confused as her.

Chapter Text
Pyrrha/Yang is sitting on a chair, a light is in front of her, blinding her from seeing who else was in the room.
“We caught you in the act.” she hears the voice of Ruby. “Confess.”
“Is this really necessary?” Pyrrha hears her own voice asking, meaning Weiss was there as well.
“Shh!” Ruby shushes Weiss. “You were making out with Jaune in that bench before you pushed him in order to escape us.”
“Blake was the one kissing him.” Pyrrha says. “Could you put this light away?”
“The faunus girl will be interrogated later.”
They hear some commotion outside the room.
“Blake get back here.” The voice of ‘Weiss’ could be heard. “Aha! Gotcha.”
“HIIIIIISS!”
“OUCH! Hey, that hurts! And don’t you dare throw that pouf at me.” The door of the common room opens. “Hey! Don’t hide behind Jaune… and stop rubbing yourself on him… Are you purring?”
“After Yang catches her.” continues Ruby. “And Blake told us that she only gave him a peck on the lips. While you…”
Pyrrha/Yang couldn’t see, but she was sure Ruby was really red.
“Anyway. What do you have to say for yourself?” Ruby goes back to questioning her.
Pyrrha that at the moment was very annoyed, uses her semblance to turn the light and point it at Ruby.
“MY EYES! MY EYES!!!!” Ruby falls back.
Pyrrha/Yang rises from the chair and gets close to Ruby.
“You want to know what I have to say, right?” she glares at the red hooded girl. “Of course I kissed him with all I had. Do you have any idea how long I waited for that? It was months. Months trying to gather the courage to do it, but he is so dense that he didn’t notice that there was a girl in love with him in the same room he sleeps. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to see the guy you like pining for a girl that didn’t appreciate him?”
“I-I am sorry.” Weiss/Pyrrha says embarrassed and a little scared of the look Pyrrha is giving her.
“And now we have exchanged bodies and the same girl he likes is now in my body, living in the same room that he his. So yeah! I made out with him and I won’t be criticized by the girl that kissed him before me. Am I clear?” she glares at Ruby.
“Y-Yes…” answers Ruby.
“Excuse me then.” Pyrrha/Yang leaves the room only for her annoyance to come back as she sees what is happening in the common room.
Yang/Weiss is trying to pull Blake away from Jaune, the faunus cat girl is currently latched to him, her arms around his chest and legs warped around his waist.
“Let go of him.” Yang/Weiss growls as she pulls the cat faunus girl.
“NYOOOO!” Blake wails as she tightens her hold on the blonde knight.
The pushing and pulling makes both Jaune and Yang/Weiss lose their balance, they fall in tangled mess, that somehow ends up with Jaune on floor, his head in between Yang/Weiss legs, thankfully her skirt didn’t flip up, and Blake sitting on top of his waist.
“It’s good that no one saw this…” Yang/Weiss laughs before seeing Pyrrha/Yang glaring at them. “EEP!” she squeaks out.
The champion in the brawler body lets out a sigh and leaves the room, maybe destroying some training drones would help with her frustrations.
“She looked really mad.” Yang/Weiss says. Jaune and Blake nod, agreeing with her.
________________________________________________________________________________
The next day while both teams were eating lunch. Jaune looked really troubled by something, and the fact that Blake insisted on sitting beside him and sometimes rubs herself on his arm doesn’t help.
“What is wrong, Jaune?” Ruby asks concerned.
“It’s just, since this morning the guys from our class keep giving me strange looks.”
“Strange how?” asks Ren.
“Like I did something amazing and unexpected.”
“Looks of jealousy?” Pyrrha/Yang asks.
“Yeah! Something like that. And the girls look at me in disgust. Like I kicked a puppy or killed a bird.”
Two girls pass by the table, see Jaune, frown and mutter something, that from what they could hear, sounded like ‘Creep’ and ‘Scum’.
“What could have caused such reaction?” Weiss/Pyrrha pounders on the possible answer.
“I have no idea.” Jaune says just as Cardin walks by the table looks at Jaune and smirks.
“Jauney, you are the man.” he then keeps walking as the rest of team CRDL gives nods of respect to Jaune.
“Why? Why am I the man?” Jaune almost bangs his head on the table.
“Jaune, Dude.” they hear the voice of Sun.
“Hey, Sun.” greets Jaune. “What’s up?”
“I should be the one asking that.” the monkey faunus grabs a chair and sits with them..
“What do you mean?” Blake asks still glued to Jaune’s left arm.
“Didn’t you hear the news around Beacon?” Sun gets closer to whisper. “Last weekend Jaune was seen kissing Weiss in a park on Vale.”
“We already know that Sun.” Pyrrha/Yang says a little annoyed and glaring at Ruby.
“Oh?” he smirks at her. “And just yesterday they saw you kissing him, Yang. And by what they said you were making out with him on a bench in the gardens. It goes further saying that it almost got rated R.”
Pyrrha/Yang blushes and freezes on her spot.
“And today, Blake is glued to him like that.” he points to the cat faunus girl that is almost purring.
“You have got to be kidding me.” Jaune facepalms.
“So, the rumor says that Jaune is a playboy that is three timing We-me?” Yang/Weiss asks.
“Yep. The girls say that he is cheating on you with Yang and Blake, while the guys say that… Well, better leave that one out, let’s just say that to them, he is a hero.” Sun looks away.
“I didn’t know you were like that, Jaune-Jaune.” Nora looks a little disgusted and moves away from Jaune.
“I am not cheating on anyone, Nora.” Jaune defends himself.
“I believe you.” Ren says, but the look he is giving Jaune says otherwise.
“The way you are looking at me says that you don’t.” Jaune glares at Ren.
Weiss/Pyrrha slams her hand on the table.
“Jaune is not cheating on anyone.” she confirms what he said. “Right, Weiss?” she looks at Yang/Weiss that nods.
“Poor, Pyr-Pyr.” Nora says. “She wants so hard to believe in him.”
Weiss/Pyrrha glares at Nora and then looks at Yang/Weiss again.
“You shouldn’t believe in what the rumors say.” she begins. “He was with me yesterday afternoon.”
“But someone saw-” Sun says.
“Lies.” Yang/Weiss denies quickly.
“O-Okay… But what about Blake rubbing on him like that.” the monkey faunus points to Jaune that have his head on the table and Blake keeps rubbing her head on his back and purring.
“That is because…” Yang/Weiss doesn’t know what to say.
“She is on heat.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at Blake.
“WHAT?” Blake jumps on her seat and glares at Weiss/Pyrrha.
“And Jaune is the male she is closest with. So he agreed to help her through it. As you can see, it comes and goes.”
“Yeah!” Sun confirms. “Some faunus girls do have that, I guess Blake is one of them.” he nods in understanding.
‘For real?’ the other girls on the table think and look at Blake, that have a mortified look on her face.
“And did you two… you know?” Sun asks the blonde knight.
“NO!” Blake and Jaune shout at him, both glaring.
“Okay! Okay! Sheesh, I was just asking.”
________________________________________________________________________________
After lunch the girls, except Weiss/Pyrrha, where once more on RWBY room.
“Why isn’t Weiss here?” Yang/Weiss asks the others.
“She is with Team JNPR in the training room, to keep appearances.” Pyrrha/Yang answers.
Ruby sits on a chair.
“Well, with Blake is two done and three to go.”
“I am surprised that P-Money didn’t return to her body with the way she was kissing Lover Boy.” Yang/Weiss grins at Pyrrha/Yang that blushes.
“Lover Boy?” asks Blake.
“Well… after kissing him, it just doesn’t feel right to call him Vomit Boy anymore.” Yang/Weiss scratches the back of her head looking away.
“Yang makes a good point for once.” Ruby says.
“Hey!” Yang/Weiss glares at Ruby.
“Why didn’t you return as well?” the red hooded girl asks ignoring Yang.
“I guess that is because Jaune didn’t know that it was me kissing him.”
The others nod.
“Then it’s confirmed, we have to be honest with ourselves and be recognized by the one we have feelings for.” Blake sits on her bed thinking.
“So you finally admitted to yourself that you like Jaune.” Yang/Weiss crosses her arms.
“I did… and to him as well.” Blake blushes while saying that.
“What?” Pyrrha/Yang turns to Blake.
“Look, we talked and I said that I liked someone that was really dense, then he said that I should tell the person I liked and that anyone would be really happy to have me as their girlfriend including himself, so, I said that I won’t just tell, but show it as well… and I kissed him.”
“That is… very sweet actually.” Yang/Weiss says a little embarrassed.
“But then I came back to my body and Pyrrha ruined it all by trying to shove her tongue down Jaune’s throat.” Blake smirks at Pyrrha/Yang.
“Shut up, Blake.” growls Pyrrha/Yang.
“How did he figured it out that it was you?” Ruby asks.
“Well, he said that it was strange that Yang was too quiet during lunch and dinner.”
“Eh?” Yang/Weiss frowns at Blake.
“And that she wouldn’t be spying on him from the window but would just enter the room and be pestering him for attention.”
“HE SAID WHAT???” Yang/Weiss eyes glow red.
“Yang, calm down. You know that Jaune would not say that. Blake is just messing with you.” Ruby says and Blake just look innocent from the bed.
“But that wouldn’t be enough for him to know that you were Blake in Yang’s body… ah!” Pyrrha/Yang then remembers. “He knows Weiss is in my body, so it was fifty percent chance for him to figure out who was in Yang’s body.”
“Exactly.” says Blake. “And I was frustrated and ended up venting out in front of him, that gave some hints about who I was.”
Ruby’s scroll rings.
“It’s Weiss.” she says before answering it.
“Ruby, we have a problem.” Weiss/Pyrrha tells them and it seems like she is running.
“What’s wrong?” the RWBY team leader asks her partner in the champion body.
“Some girls from our class and even some students from the second year, tried to ambush Jaune as we were leaving the training room.”
“Gods. Is he alright?” Pyrrha/Yang asks concerned.
“He is fine and I am too, by the way, thank you for asking.” Weiss/Pyrrha glares at them. “Nora and Ren are holding them off while we escape.”
“And where are you going?” Ruby asks.
“I really don’t know, but we can’t stay in Beacon right now, maybe a hotel.” Weiss/Pyrrha looks to the side and then disappears from the screen, Jaune’s face replaces “hers”.
“Ruby, we will be staying at my sister’s apartment.”
“Sister?” Ruby asks confused.
“The one from the restaurant, remember?”
“AH! Purple, right?”
Jaune eyebrow twitches in annoyance.
“Violette, Ruby. Her name is Violette.”
“Y-Yeah, right. Sorry.” Ruby blushes.
“We will try to be back by tomorrow morning.” Weiss/Pyrrha face appears again. “Hopefully things will have settled down by then.”
“And we will see what we can do from here.”
Weiss/Pyrrha and Jaune take the bullhead to Vale and as soon as they leave the craft, Jaune runs to the closest garbage bin and throws up. The heiress in the champion body looks in disgust, before she lets out a sigh, remembering that it’s something that he can’t control. She approaches him and rubs his back.
“Thanks, Weiss.”
“It’s not a problem.”
Jaune guides Weiss to Maison d’la Lune, one of the waiters recognizes Jaune and let them enter the kitchen.
“Petit Jaune.” greets the blond, violet eyed woman, hugging Jaune.
“Hey, Vi.”
“Who is this?” his sister asks looking at Weiss/Pyrrha.
“This is We-Pyrrha. My partner.” Jaune almost slips. “Pyrrha, this is my sister, Violette.”
“A pleasure to meet you.” Weiss/Pyrrha nods her head.
“For me as well.” Violette smiles at her. “What brings you two to my kitchen?”
“Vi, could we stay at your apartment? Something happened in Beacon and we can’t go back there tonight.”
Violette smiles at him.
“Of course you can.” She goes to the locker room and comes back with the key card for the apartment. “I will bring dinner later. So…” she glances at Weiss/Pyrrha. “Behave.”
Weiss/Pyrrha blushes.
“Thank you, sis.” Jaune hugs her again and she gives him a kiss on the cheek.
They move quickly to his sister apartment, that is not far from the restaurant. Jaune goes to the bathroom sink and quickly washes his mouth to get rid of the bad taste from vomiting earlier.
“You can take a shower if you want.” he tells Weiss/Pyrrha.
“I don’t have a change of clothes.” she replies.
“Violette and Pyrrha are about the same height. Underwear aside, you can borrow some clothes from her.”
“I… Okay, then. And you?”
“I leave some clothes of mine here for when I come in the weekends. I will shower after you.”
Weiss nods and chooses a white blouse and purple skirt to wear before entering the bathroom. While showering she thinks that maybe, just maybe, temporarily exchanging bodies with her friends wasn't such a bad thing.
Chapter 9: When it Rains it Pours
Chapter Text
“Come on, Valkyrie. We just want to… talk with Arc.” a second year tries to convince Nora to let them inside the training room.
“And what do you wish to talk about with our leader?” Ren is ready to use his semblance just in case.
“There are some questions that we want answers, and he is the one that have them.” a girl from their class says.
“Why don’t you make a list and we will give it to him.” Nora tells them.
Another girl from their class comes running from behind the training room.
“Guys! I just saw Arc and Nikos going to the Bullhead landing pad.”
The second year that had spoken earlier, glares at Nora and Ren.
“Stalling for time?”
“You are soooo smart.” Nora grins at him.
“Let’s go after them.” one of the girls turns to follow Jaune and Weiss/Pyrrha, only to come face to face with Professor Goodwitch.
“What is the meaning of this?” she asks glaring at the students.
“Professor Goodwitch, we just want for Arc to clarify some things for us.” the second year student tries to justify himself.
“You just want him to tell you how he got a kiss from both Weissy and Yang.” Nora glares.
“T-That is not true.” he and other male students there deny.
“And you girls?” Glynda turns her glare to the first year girls.
“He is a philanderer and scumbag, we want to put him on his place.”
“And you think you have the right to do that?” Glynda glare intensifies. “Have you asked the girls in question if they want him punished?”
“W-We just feel that his presence would be toxic in our class if he continues with this behavior.”
“Bullshit!” exclaims Nora. “You are jealous because Jaune-Jaune is not interested in you.”
“WHAT?” The girl yells at Nora.
“You just want to take out on him the fact that you don’t have a boyfriend.” Nora continues.
“I-I came here to become a huntress, not to find a boyfriend.”
“I see.” Nora smirks ignoring her. “So you wanted Jaune-Jaune attention or maybe you like Weissy or Yang and is trying to take revenge on him, because both of them like him and not you.”
The girl gapes at Nora.
“I-I would never do something like that. Besides, I am straight.”
“Yeah! Right.” Nora scoffs at her.
“Enough!” Goodwitch stops both girls and then looks at the other students around her. “You will stop this non-sense right now or I shall start delivering punishments for all of you.”
“Professor!” team "RWBY” comes running in their direction.
“Ah! Good. Perhaps you girls could shed some light on this matter. Explain what happened between you and Mr. Arc.”
“Of course.” Ruby looks at Yang/Weiss that nods.
“I know that many of you saw me kissing Jaune in the park.” she tries to imitate Weiss. “That kiss was a thank you for being a good friend and an apologize for treating him the way I did.”
“So you are not dating?” one of the male second year students asks. “Then maybe we can-”
“No.” Yang/Weiss rejects immediately glaring at him. "And I didn't say that I wasn't dating him." she continues.
The guy deflates.
“And Xiao-Long?” Another male student asks. “Why did she kiss Arc?”
“That… That was a dare.” Pyrrha/Yang answers. “We were playing Truth or Dare and Blake made a dare that I should kiss Jaune.”
“At the time of the kiss, Blake was trying to hold down Weiss from using her glyphs on Yang and Jaune had no intention to kiss her.”
“And Blake? Why was she-”
“That’s enough.” Goodwitch interrupts. “Disband right now,”
The other students quickly leave the area fearing punishment.
“And the four of you.” Glynda glares at team “RWBY”. “My office.”
________________________________________________________________________________
“Man…” Yang/Weiss groans. “Professor Goodwitch was pissed.”
Team “RWBY” is returning to their room after a long lecture from Glynda Goodwitch.
“I don’t know…” Blake thinks a little sitting on her bed. “To me, she looked more concerned than mad.”
“To me as well. She seemed concerned for Jaune’s safety.” Pyrrha/Yang ponders a little.
“Hmmm…” Ruby sits on the chair at the desk. “I wonder why.”
Ruby scroll rings.
“It’s Weiss.” she answers it. “Hey Weiss, are you guys safe?”
“We are both fine.” she answers. “Violette was very kind to let us stay at her apartment.”
“Where is Jaune?” Pyrrha/Yang asks the heiress on her body.
“In the shower. He was a gentleman and let me use it first.”
“And those clothes? Did you two have a shopping date while on the run?” Yang/Weiss grins at her.
Weiss/Pyrrha glares at her.
“I borrowed them from Jaune’s sister. I just hope she won’t mind.”
“I am certain she won’t.” Pyrrha/Yang assures her. “Professor Goodwitch kind of got things sorted out with the other students, you can come back tomorrow.”
“I see. That is a relieve.” Weiss/Pyrrha looks in the direction of the door. “I have to go. Violette is at the door.”
“Good night, Weiss.” the girls wish her and she does the same.
________________________________________________________________________________
Weiss/Pyrrha opens the door for Violette.
“Thank you, Pyrrha. How is everything?” the Arc sister asks her as she put her purse and bags she is carrying on the table.
“We are fine. Thank you for letting us stay here. I hope you don’t mind, Jaune said I could borrow some clothes from you.” she points to the purple skirt and white blouse she is wearing.
“Of course you can borrow them. Did you put your underwear on the washing machine?”
“Oh no! I don’t have a spare set.”
“All the more reason to wash yours.” insists Violette. “Just wear one of Jaune’s boxers for today, I’m not going to lend you my panties.” she giggles.
“H-His boxers?” stammers Weiss/Pyrrha. “T-That- I could never- It’s improper.”
“He doesn’t need to know.” Violette smirks at her. “Come with me.”
Jaune comes out of the bathroom dressed in the spare clothes he leave at Violette’s apartment. He sees Weiss/Pyrrha, sitting on the couch. The girl blushes for some reason as soon as she sees him.
“Y-Your sister is in the kitchen. She is warming up the food she brought from her restaurant.”
“Oh! That’s great.” he looks more closely at her. “Are you alright? You look a little flushed?”
“I-I am fine. Thank you for your concern.”
“If you say so.” he shrugs and sits beside her, turning on the TV.
‘This is going to be a long night.’ Weiss thinks, trying her best to not look at Jaune.
________________________________________________________________________________
Later that night in RWBY room, the girls are getting ready to sleep, when Ruby’s scroll rings again.
“Must be Weiss.” she says to her teammates and Pyrrha/Yang. She answers without looking at the callers ID.
“Ruby Rose.” they hear the voice of Winter Schnee.
“M-Ms. Winter?” she squeaks out. “W-Why are you calling me? Wait… how did you get my number?”
“Weiss is not answering my calls, so I did some digging and found your number, as her partner you would know what is going on.”
“Oh! Right…” She looks at Yang/Weiss that widens her eyes seeing the look Ruby is giving her and shakes her head in negative. “She is right here, I will let you talk with her.”
Yang/Weiss glares at Ruby before taking the scroll.
“H-Hello Winter.” Yang/Weiss greets her teammate sister, that raises her left eyebrow at the greeting.
“Good evening, Weiss. Why aren’t you answering my calls? I have been calling you all afternoon.”
“That is because…” she tries to think of an excuse, when she sees Ruby and Blake gesturing to Blake’s scroll and Ruby is making a motion of her stomping on it. “I dropped my scroll and stomped on it?”
Ruby, Blake and Pyrrha/Yang facepalm.
“What?” Winter looks wide eyed at her. “Why would you do that?”
“Ah! No, I meant to say that my scroll broke. And tomorrow I will have a new one.”
“Are you having trouble with your boyfriend?” Winter asks suspicious.
“No! No! Not at all.” Yang/Weiss immediately reply. “He is nothing but nice and understanding.”
“Understanding? About what?”
“A-About…” she tries to think of something quick. “About the fact that taking my position we can’t rush things in our relationship.”
The other girls gape at what she just said. Winter narrows her eyes at Yang/Weiss.
“Did he try to force himself on you?”
“NO!” Yang/Weiss yells at Winter. “He would never do that.”
The two just stay silent and looking at each other.
“Very well.”
Yang/Weiss lets out a sigh of relieve.
“I want to meet Jaune in person.”
Her relieve is short lived.
“W-Why?”
“To make sure that he is treating you properly.” Winter gives an evil smile. “See you soon.”
“W-Wait.” but it’s too late, Winter hags up. Yang/Weiss looks at the others. “Well… It could have been worse.”
________________________________________________________________________________
The next day at the Bullhead Port in Atlas, Winter is in the waiting area. As this is a personal trip that doesn’t involve the Atlas Military and there are no trips of the Military scheduled for Vale, she needs to take a civilian flight. As she is thinking about her sister and her supposed boyfriend, a tall, blonde, beautiful young woman in her early twenties sits beside her. She is dressed in black pants and boots and a white shirt with a black blouse over it, she have really long hair in a braid and deep blue eyes.
“Excuse me.” the woman says after sitting.
Winter nods at her. Taking a brief look at her posture.
‘Her back is rigid, like she can jump into action at any moment. Maybe a police officer or a member of the military, no… she is a huntress.’
“You are a huntress aren’t you?” the blonde woman suddenly asks her.
Winter looks surprised.
“I noticed that you were analyzing me. And I did the same with you. It’s only fair after all.” she grins.
“I am sorry.” Apologizes Winter. “I didn’t meant to be rude.”
“There is no need for that.” the woman giggles. “So, was I right, a huntress?”
“Specialist actually.” corrects Winter.
“Ah! That is what you call the hunters that work for the Atlas military, correct?”
“That is correct.” confirms Winter. “You are a huntress as well, I assume and not from Atlas.”
“You are right, I am from Vale. Was in Argus visiting my sister when I got called for a job in Mantle. Now, I am going back to Vale to see my little brother and meet his new girlfriend.”
“What a coincidence.” Winter looks surprised at her. “I am going to Vale to meet my little sister’s boyfriend.”
“Oh! I am Joan Arc, and you?” the now identified Joan extends her hand to Winter.
“Winter Schnee.” she takes the hand of Joan in a handshake. “Wait… Arc?”
“Schnee?” Joan looks surprised for a moment before grinning.
‘This is going to be fun.’ They both think.
________________________________________________________________________________
In the morning Jaune and Weiss/Pyrrha are going back to Beacon, when they suddenly feel shivers running up their spines.
“W-Weiss, why do I have a feeling that things are about to get more complicated?” rubbing his arms.
“I-I just felt the same.” Weiss/Pyrrha looks around. “For now lets just get back to the dorms.”
They get inside JNPR room, as Jaune is changing clothes in the bathroom, someone knocks on the door.
“Yes?” Weiss/Pyrrha asks opening the door.
“Weiss.” Ruby enters the room. “We have a problem.”
“What did you do now?” the heiress in the champion body lets out a sigh.
“What? Why do you just assume I did anything?” Ruby pouts.
“You exploded when we first meet, that mess with the Nevermore in Initiation, the docks incident, just to name a few. And we exchanging bodies was your last accomplishment.” Weiss/Pyrrha counts on her fingers.
“The docks was Blake’s fault and you know it.” Ruby glares at her. “Beside it’s not that. Winter called and you have been ignoring her calls.”
“Of course I have. I can’t answer her calls while in Pyrrha’s body.” she then looks startled at Ruby. “How do you know she have been calling me?”
“Because she called me. And guess what, thanks to Yang’s performance, she is coming here to meet Jaune in person.”
Weiss/Pyrrha jaw drops.
“Oh no! No, no, no, no!” She massages her temples in despair. “This is bad, really bad, absurdly bad.”
“What is going on?” Jaune asks as he comes out of the bathroom and sees the look of despair in Weiss/Pyrrha face.
“Winter… My sister is coming to visit and she wants to meet you.”
“Oh! Yeah! That is bad.” he rubs the back of his head nervous.
Nora comes running through the door almost trampling Ruby in the process.
“Sorry Ruby.” She calls out. “Jaune-Jaune you are back.”
“Hey Nora.” he greets her with little enthusiasm.
“What is wrong Fearless Leader? Tummy hurts?” she asks concerned.
Jaune chuckles at her.
“Nothing like that. Don’t worry.” he pats her head.
“I have something that will cheer you up.” Nora takes out a letter. “It’s from one of your sisters.”
Jaune smiles, takes the letter and reads it, his eyes widen as he keeps reading. He then folds the letter, walks to the wall and bangs his head on it.
“JAUNE!” the three girls hold him before he hurts himself.
“What are you doing, you dunce?” Weiss/Pyrrha calls him like that not caring that Nora is there.
“Things just got worse.” he says. “My oldest sister, Joan, is coming to Beacon.”
Weiss/Pyrrha pales hearing that.
“And she wants to meet Weiss.”
Now they knew what those chills they felt in the morning were all about.
