[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

-Jedi Jaune does some more training! And naturally his friends offer some feedback on his technique. Often in the form of attacking him and trying to kick his ass.

A few ideas for this:

Yang teaches him about ambushes, almost constantly at one point, only to then double ambush him with Ruby when he's concentrating on her.

Weiss introduces Jaune to her family, which may or may not involve a 'friendly hunt' where he's pursued through a maze garden by Weiss, Winter, and potentially Willow, all the while trying to stay either undetected or losing his pursuers in a test of endurance and guile.

Pyrrha talks with her mom about seducing Jaune to the Dark Side. She tries to inform her daughter more about how effective the 'seduce' part can be, but it either goes completely over Pyrrha's head or Jaune is too dense to notice her hilarious attempts.

Jaune starts to get a touch paranoid and starts wearing armor, partially based off a knight and partially off practical additions, primarily high-tech too. Problem for him is, these ladies love a man in uniform, especially in armor that makes him look badass.

Assuming we don't expand the roster of other characters or factions from Star Wars in Remnant…
 
I still say it would be hilarious if Nora and REN were lost Starfleet officers in the middle of this whole mess with Blake being descended from the freman and Coco reporting all of their the the lensmen, maybe CRDL are undercover MI troopers….
 
Coco and Taiyang New
The Beacon courtyard was bustling with the usual mid-afternoon chaos-students rushing between classes, the distant roar of combat drills echoing from the training fields, and the occasional song from the birds in the trees. Taiyang Xiao Long had timed his visit perfectly: right after lunch, when Ruby and Yang were both free. He stood near the fountain, arms open wide as his daughters barreled into him.

"Dad!" Ruby squealed, nearly knocking him over with the force of her hug. "You didn't say you were coming!"

Yang grinned, slinging an arm around his shoulders. "What, you finally get tired of patching up the house after Nora's last visit?"

Taiyang laughed, ruffling Ruby's hair and pulling Yang into a one-armed hug. "Can't a dad just want to check on his girls? Besides, I brought cookies. Your mom's recipe."

Ruby's eyes lit up like silver stars. "You're the best!"

Yang rolled her eyes fondly. "Yeah, yeah. We love you too, old man."

Coco Adel stopped mid-stride nearby, designer sunglasses perched on her nose, beret tilted just so. She'd been heading to the library with Velvet when she spotted the tall, broad-shouldered man with the easy smile and the artfully tussled hair. Her lips curved into a slow, appreciative smirk.

She didn't waste time.

"Coco?" Velvet asked, concerned.

"Not now, Bun-Bun, getting laid," Coco stated, heading forward. Velvet sighed.

"Oh no," she muttered.

"Excuse me," Coco said, voice smooth as silk. She lowered her sunglasses just enough to give Taiyang a deliberate once-over. "Are you single?"

Ruby and Yang froze.

Taiyang blinked, still smiling politely. "Oh, hi there! I'm Taiyang Xiao Long. These are my daughters, Ruby and Yang. And you are…?"

Coco grinned, sliding her sunglasses the rest of the way off and tucking them into her jacket. "Coco Adel. Fashion icon, fashionista, and apparently the only person here with taste." She stepped closer, hips swaying just enough to make it clear this wasn't a casual chat. "And I asked if you're single, Mr. Xiao Long. Because if you are… I'd love to take you out for breakfast. Or dinner. Or both. Your choice."

Ruby's jaw hit the ground. "COCO!"

Yang's hair flickered with the first sparks of her Semblance. "What the hell?! That's our dad!"

Coco didn't even glance at them. Her eyes stayed locked on Taiyang, one manicured hand resting lightly on his forearm. "Still not an answer. So… single?"

Taiyang's smile never wavered. He glanced down at her hand on his arm like it was the most natural thing in the world. "Oh, that's sweet of you to offer, Miss Adel! I'm flattered. And yes, I am. But I've been out of the dating game for a while and I'm a little old for you. I'm just here to visit my girls and make sure they're not causing too much trouble."

Coco's grin sharpened. She leaned in a fraction closer, voice dropping to a playful purr. "Trouble's my middle name, handsome. And you look like you could handle a little. That jacket's vintage Mistral leather, isn't it? Very rugged. Very… capable. Much like the owner."

Yang made a strangled noise. "COCO, I SWEAR TO GOD-!"

Ruby was hiding behind her dad now, peeking out with mortified silver eyes. "Dad! She's flirting with you! Say something!"

Taiyang chuckled. "Flirting? Aw, that's nice of her. Kids these days are so friendly." He patted Coco's hand gently. "You've got good fashion sense yourself, Miss Adel. That beret really brings out your eyes. My wife used to wear something similar."

Coco's eyebrows rose. "Wife?"

"Late wife," Taiyang clarified easily, still smiling. "It's been a while. But thank you for the compliment. Means a lot coming from someone with your… style."

Coco's grin returned, twice as bright. "Late wife, huh? Tragic. My condolences. But that just means you're available for a charming, successful, incredibly stylish woman to sweep you off your feet." She gave his arm a light squeeze. "Tell me, Taiyang-can I call you Tai?-what are you doing tonight? I know this little café in Vale that serves the best strawberry shortcake. My treat."

Yang looked ready to combust. "Dad! She's hitting on you! In front of us! Make her stop!"

Taiyang finally seemed to register the tension. He glanced between his outraged daughters and the very forward fashionista, then let out a warm, laugh. "Well, I appreciate the offer, Miss Adel. Really, I do. But I'm just here to spend time with my girls today. Maybe another time?"

Coco pouted dramatically, but her eyes sparkled with amusement. "Another time, then. I'll hold you to that." She slipped a small card into his jacket pocket with practiced ease. "My number. In case you change your mind about breakfast. Or dinner. Or both."

She winked at Ruby and Yang. "Ladies. Always a pleasure."

Then she sauntered off, hips swaying as she made her way back to the mortified Velvet.

The moment she was out of earshot, Yang exploded.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

Ruby nodded furiously, face still red. "She asked if you were single! In front of us! Dad, she was flirting so hard I thought my eyes were going to melt!"

Taiyang scratched the back of his neck, looking genuinely confused. "Flirting? She seemed nice. Complimented my jacket. That's all."

Yang threw her hands up. "She slipped her number into your pocket, Dad! That's not 'nice.' That's hunting!"

Ruby nodded again. "Yeah! I mean, we don't need an evil stepmom!"

Taiyang chuckled and pulled them both into a hug. "Relax, you two. I'm not going anywhere. Besides…" He glanced at the card Coco had given him. "I've got my hands full with two very protective daughters already. No room for anyone else right now."

Yang grumbled but leaned into the hug. "You'd better not call her."

"I won't!" Taiyang insisted.

Ruby peeked up at him. "Promise?"

"Promise," Taiyang said.

"So, throw away the card?" Ruby prompted. Taiyang hummed.

"Well, it would be rude to throw it away in front of her, don't you think?" He tucked it into his jacket pocket.

Coco, with Velvet, grinned.

"Ohhh yeah, he's hooked. And now I'm gonna reel him in~."

Velvet sighed.

"Not again," she muttered.

Jaune Arc, Single Father 38 New
The CFVY dorm common room had been transformed into a miniature fashion studio.

Coco Adel stood in the center like a queen surveying her kingdom, sunglasses perched on her head and a measuring tape draped around her neck. Scattered across the couches were bolts of fabric, ribbons, and half-finished outfits in every pastel color imaginable. Mia stood on a small stool in front of her, dressed in a frilly pink-and-white sundress Coco had quickly altered to fit her perfectly.

"Turn for me, darling," Coco instructed with a bright smile. "Shoulders back, chin up. Confidence, Mia. If you want something, you have to ask for it like you deserve it."

Mia twirled once, the dress flaring prettily. "Like this?"

"Exactly like that!" Coco clapped her hands. "Now, say it with me: 'I want the blue ribbons because they match my eyes and I am adorable.'"

Mia puffed out her little chest. "I want the blue ribbons because they match my eyes and I am adorable!"

Coco beamed. "Perfect! You're a natural, darling. The boys will be falling at your feet in no time."

Velvet, who had been quietly reading in the corner, looked up with a tired sigh. "Coco, she's four."

"And already more stylish than half the first-years," Coco countered with a wink. "Now, next outfit!"

"Can I wear the pink one again?" Mia asked. Coco hummed.

"No, no, too much pink is dangerous!"

By the time Jaune arrived to pick Mia up, the little girl had modeled four different dresses, a tiny leather jacket, and a sparkly tutu. Coco was in the middle of pinning a new bow into Mia's hair when the door opened.

"Papa!" Mia shouted, hopping off the stool and running straight to him.

Jaune caught her with a laugh, lifting her up. "Hey, kitten. Did you have fun?"

Mia nodded enthusiastically, then pointed a tiny finger right at his chest.

"Papa! I want a baby brother! Or sister! I deserve it because I'm adorable!"

Coco smirked in pride. Velvet facepalmed. Fox and Yatsuhashi continued to do homework in the other part of the common room, hoping to avoid drawing attention.

Jaune blinked, then chuckled. "Well… I'll work on that, kitten."

Mia's ears flattened in determination. "Work harder!"

Coco slid her sunglasses down her nose, a wicked grin spreading across her face. "Oh my. Well, Jaune darling, if you're having trouble with that particular project… I happen to know several girls who would be delighted to help you become a father again. In fact, I think I should take it upon myself to play matchmaker!"

Jaune's face immediately turned red. "Er-no, that's really not necessary-"

Coco ignored him completely, turning toward her teammate. "Velvet! What do you think? You've always said Jaune has a nice smile. And given his family's reputation for strong, healthy children, you'd probably end up with a whole bushel of adorable babies!"

Velvet's ears shot straight up, her face going bright scarlet. "C-COCO!"

"What?" Coco asked innocently. "It's true! Nothing's happening with Winchester, you think he's hot, he clearly needs help in the romance department, and I get to play fairy godmother. Everybody wins!"

Jaune was already backing toward the door, Mia still in his arms. "Ummm… Oh hey! Is that my scroll ringing? Yeah, I gotta go. Important… scroll… thing."

"I don't hear the Scroll ringing-" Mia tried, but too late: Jaune practically fled the room, the door clicking shut behind him.

Coco smirked, crossing her arms with satisfaction. "Challenge accepted."

She turned to Velvet, who was still sputtering. "VELVET! We're breaking out the sexy bunny costume!"

Velvet's voice cracked. "Not that one!"

Coco's grin only widened. "YES THAT ONE!"

From the far corner of the room, Fox and Yatsuhashi looked at eachother.

Fox sighed without opening his eyes. "You think she's going to drag us into this?"

Yatsuhashi's deep voice rumbled. "Probably. We should try to escape while we still can."

Fox was already standing. "Already on it."

The two of them slipped towards the window as quietly as possible. Velvet looked at them as Coco continued to plot, her expression aghast. Fox and Yatsuhashi shook their heads, both making the most stoic pleading faces possible.

"Um... Shouldn't Fox and Yatsuhashi help out too?" Velvet demanded.

Coco slowly turned her head and grinned devilishly at the two young men. Fox gaped. Yatsushi looked wounded.

"Why, Velvet?" Yatsuhashi pleaded. Velvet flushed.

"S-Sorry but... You left me to her ten times already! It's not fair!"

"Oh don't worry, darling," Coco said, patting Velvet's hand soothingly, "They were going to help anyway. There was no need for you to rat them out."

"Crap," Yatsuhashi and Fox moaned.
