Jaune, Yang, Isabel and Nick meet some time afterward in a park on campus. Yang and Jaune are rather mortified. Isabel is a bit uncomfortable.
Nick keeps shooting his son thumbs up when Isabel isn't looking.
Isabel: "Ahem... I am sorry about uh, all that. It was rather thoughtless. I just wanted to make sure you two were being careful. You don't want to start a family before you're ready, after all."
Jaune: "Mom, it's okay. We're being very careful and taking things slow."
Yang: "Y-Yeah..." mutters "Maybe too slow..."
Jaune: flush
Isabel: "Honestly, that's probably for the best. After all, Nick and I have eight children. I think it's safe to say you two should be very careful."
Yang: bright red
Jaune: "Er... Y-Yeah... Eheh..."
Nick: "Yes. I hope you're the one for each other, but if you're not? You don't want to give away your first time to someone you'll just break up with." nods sagely, and takes Isabel's hand "Izzy is the only woman I have ever loved in every definition of the word. When your souls meet with a person who loves you more than anything else in the world? It's... Like magic."
Isabel blushes, deeply pleased.
Isabel: "N-Nick..."
Jaune's Brain: Wow... He really is my father... It's weird but, when I invented this fanon? I just wanted a nuanced take on things. My own take. But it feels so right. Am I the dreamer, or the dream? Either way... I'm glad he's my father. However this happened.
Nick: brightly "Of course, if you two settled down right now, I might have to come out of retirement to train Jaune right! And Adrian could use a cousin for a playmate! And Izzy was back up and fighting in like, a week or two after every pregnancy so it's not big a deal-!"
Isabel: elbows him "NIIIICK!"
Nick: "OW! I'm just saying, Izzy!" pouts "I wanna be cool for my grandkids!"
Jaune: sighs "Yeah, I get that Dad."
Yang: "Heh..." smiles "You're dad a complete dork."
Jaune: "Is that really a surprise?"
Yang: "Not really." leans in closer "Still. It's a nice heads up for when we do go all the way."
Jaune: bright red
Jaune's Brain: WHEN! SHE SAID WHEN! YES! WOO! WOOOOOOOOO!
That said, Jaune had a lot of other things to deal with in preparation for the dance. He and Yang worked to decorate, get a band, set up snacks and the punch, and many other things.
For instance...
Jaune: "Okay, Sun? You're trying WAY too hard."
Sun: "How do you mean?"
Jaune: "You flirt non-stop with Blake constantly. She's got the message. You can't just batter her defenses down, you gotta be more subtle."
Sun: frowns "I dunno Jaune... I mean, she keeps saying she's into you and you'll give in-"
Jaune: "No no no! Ugh. Look. She's my friend. My friend. Period! Which is why I'm gonna help you with her. I mean... Blake thinks like a cat, acts like a cat, and so on, right?"
Sun: "Right..."
Jaune: "The best way to get a cat to want something is to make it look like she might lose it. You need to make her chase you, with me so far?"
Sun: nods "Oh... I see... So, me showing up in her dorm room in just speedos is like... Giving a cat a treat? They still prefer getting their own food?"
Jaune: "... Yes."
Jaune's Brain: I wondered why Blake looked so mortified last Monday...
Jaune: "Anyway... If you go along with my plan, you'll also A: Be making up for something Neptune did, B: Getting Blake interested, and C: Piss of Jacques Schnee AND the White Fang."
Sun: "That's quite the trick, Jaune. How do we pull it off?"
Jaune just smiles.
Cut to the Star Maiden Memorial Garden, where Weiss is waiting. Jaune approaches.
Jaune: "Hey Weiss. Thanks for meeting me on such short notice."
Weiss: "Well, I wouldn't mind a break from planning Velvet's baby shower. It's all so adorable and wonderful and-" She coughs and hides her blush "Ahem. Well, what do you want, Jaune?"
Jaune: "About the Dance. You see-"
Weiss: bright red "O-Oh! Well, um, if you wanted me to go with you... I-I mean, I suppose if you wished and Yang was all right with it, I wouldn't mind it too much! You are a bit of-of a degenerate but honestly in a sort of endearing way if you squint-"
Jaune: "Er, no Weiss. I'm going with Yang."
Weiss... Looks rather sad, but hides it quickly with a blank expression.
Weiss: "O-Oh... I see..."
Jaune: "I mean, I'm very flattered of course. But I love Yang, and neither of you would deserve me if I was the type to cheat."
Weiss: growls "Like Neptune. He flirted with every attractive girl he could on our dates! Right in front of me!"
Jaune's Brain: Well, that's not the story he told me... Geez. I gotta keep him from ending up Ron the Slytherin. One problem at a time, focus!
Jaune: "I see. Well, there's someone here who wants to make up for what he did."
Weiss: raised eyebrow "Oh? You're trying to set me up?"
Jaune: "Yup. He's a good guy, trust me. It's just as friends but it beats going along and being unhappy. Besides... If you go out with him? Your dad will be pissed."
Weiss: "Who is it?"
A pause. Jaune looks at a column.
Sun: "... Oh, that was my cue. Right."
Sun emerges, holding a single yellow flower-Which means "friendship" in the floral language of Atlas. He smiles, walks up to Weiss, and holds it out.
Sun: "Would you like to go to the dance with me, Miss Schnee?"
Weiss: "I... Um, well..." scowls "You're usually all over Blake."
Sun: "Yeah, but if she's not interested, why go to the dance alone?" shrugs "Besides, Neptune really screwed up. He thought you didn't want anything serious. He's uh... He's got some growing up to do. As team leader, I should try to make things right. I just want to go to the dance and show you a fun time, that's all."
Weiss frowned deeply.
Weiss: "You're not just trying to make her jealous are you?"
Sun: "I mean... Um... A little?" He winces "But I also think you're really cool. And pretty."
Weiss: "..." sighs "I... I really want to be the better person. Honestly. And... As much fun as it might be... I-I think I'll just go alone. But... I'll save a dance for you?"
Sun: "Oh..." sighs and smiles "Sure. I get it." He hands the flower over to Weiss. "Keep it. Flowers aren't my thing anyway. Later." He heads off, leaving Weiss and Jaune alone
Weiss: "... Did you think this up?"
Jaune: wince "... Yes. I did. Ya know... I just thought that maybe-"
Weiss: sighs "I... Appreciate the thought, Jaune, but... My heart's not that strong. And... You're the last person who should be doing this."
Jaune: "Huh? Why?"
Weiss: groans "You are a complete dolt, aren't you?!" She stormed off
Jaune's Brain: Ugh. Great going, genius. Well... Could have been worse. Maybe I'll just stop trying to matchmake for a while. I clearly just got lucky with Cardin and Velvet...
After that, Jaune decided against any more matchmaking. It just wasn't going to end well. He couldn't get a Nat 20 every time, after all.
So he helped Yang and Ruby with setting up the decor for the dance in the Grand Ballroom. Hanging streamers, setting up the lights, and the bandstand...
Jaune: "Okay... We didn't get the Achieve Men,
thank God, but we got a nice Fuujin band on their Valean tour to perform."
Yang: "A heavy metal maid band?"
Jaune:
grins and shrugs "They're pretty awesome to listen to, gimmick aside. Also, nice color choices!"
Yang: "Thanks! I did actually learn some charm school stuff from Sister Lucy on Patch."
Jaune: "Wow... What's she like?"
Yang: "She's pretty awesome for an old lady. She helped Ruby and I with our homework when Dad couldn't do it, taught us cooking, cleaning, knitting, all sorts of things. She helped Uncle Qrow get Dad back into shape too... Mostly by yelling at him and waving her cane."
Jaune: "Heh... She sounds incredible."
Yang: "You wanna meet her? I mean... I did meet your parents."
Jaune: "I'm uh... I mean, sure. Shouldn't I meet your dad first?"
Yang: "I thought we were taking it slow? You wanna start picking out rings, VB?"
winks "I could give you a ring right now~."
Jaune: "I-You-But-!"
Yang giggled. Jaune sighed.
Jaune: "Geez..."
Yang: "Gotta keep you on your toes, VB."
She nuzzled him "Mmm..."
Jaune: "Thanks. I just... I mean... How do you feel about this? I feel like I'm making a lot of decisions here and maybe I'm not listening to you as much as I should."
Yang: "You act like this stern alpha male in battle but now you're asking about my feelings?"
Jaune: "Says the biker chick who knows how to make amazing pancakes and has an apron that says-"
Yang punches him lightly in the side with red cheeks. Jaune snickers.
Jaune: "Owww...! What? It's cute!"
Yang: "Just-Not so loud, okay?"
Jaune: "Why? I like that you don't fit into any one box."
Yang: "Y-yeah, well... I like that about you, too."
Smiles and nuzzles him "Hmmm... I mean... I'll admit I kind of... Worry... About you getting stolen away."
Jaune: "Yang-"
Yang: "But the fact you actually care about me so much and aren't just rushing to... To the good parts? That means everything."
Jaune:
genuinely confused "These are the good parts, Yang."
Yang:
bright red "..." She kissed him deeply and wrapped her arms around him "Mmmm~..."
Jaune: "Mmph?! Mmmm...!"
Jaune's Brain:
Holy shit this is amazing I love this so much...! MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE-HOLY SHIT!
Glynda: "AHEM."
The two blonds separate, blushing brightly.
Glynda: "I believe you two have work to do? Which doesn't involve making out?"
Yang: "C-Come on, Professor! We were just uh... Getting in the spirit of things!"
Jaune: "T-Totally!"
Glynda: "That requires your tongues to be in eachother's mouths?"
Yang: "...
Yes."
Glynda: "Please Miss Xiao-Long... Wait for that until your senior year at least?"
Glares at Jaune "Even your parents were able to graduate before full consummation."
Jaune: "Shows what you know. My oldest sister Saphron was born exactly nine months after the liberation of Pandu. So she was at the graduation ceremony too."
Glynda: "And if you want to see your own graduation ceremony, you'll both get back to work!"
Yang and Jaune: "Yes ma'am!"
They do get back to work. Jaune is under a LOT of scrunity by Goodwitch... While Yang watches him with a dreamy look in her eyes.
She recalls a fairy tale Sister Lucy and her mother read her... About a Knight and a Princess.
"Take my hand," said the knight to the princess, "for the world is a big and scary place. I will protect you from all danger, and you will protect me when I fall. And we will walk this world, hand in hand, together."
It was just a childhood story and so much in her life made her doubt it... But when she was with Jaune? She wanted to believe.
