Hm. I actually have no idea what to write. #YOLOSWAG

Bonus Chapter – Fighting for Pancakes

It was a beautiful sunny day. Clouds scattered the sky, rolling and tumbling like balls of woolly flu-

"OMG IT'S SO FLUFFY!" an ecstatic Nora squealed, clutching Ren with one hand and pointing to the sky with another. "You know, it looks like a sloth!"

Ren smiled: his expressions had changed lately… he had simply been a whole lot happier and more open to his now-official-crazy-together-together "girlfriend".

Sometimes when people referred to that, he grimaced. "Girlfriend" wasn't usually a phrase he was used to when with Nora: it had always been "best friends", "childfood friends", "friends for life"…

But he never wanted to change "girlfriend". In fact, he rather enjoyed that Nora was now his girlfriend, his partner, his teammate.

He ruffled her hair playfully and she gave a wide grin in return. "Nora?"

"Yes, Ren?" she replied, looking up to him with interest.

"I still don't think that's what a sloth looks like." At those words she pouted and looked up to the sky, studying the cloudy wisp hanging above them.

"NO! I'VE GOT IT!" she yelled, standing to her feet suddenly and punching her fist into the air victoriously, "IT'S A SLOTH DOING ACROBATICS!"

Ren facepalmed, still with the playful smile on his face. "Nora. Sloths don't do acrobatics. They sleep a lot."

She stared wide-eye at him, and for a few seconds Ren thought he had won the sloth argument, before she returned back to her usual self, booped him on the nose and cried out, "You sleep a lot, silly."

She collapsed back onto the picnic blanket and Ren sat himself down, just as Pyrrha and Jaune strolled towards them, hand in hand.

"AW YOU TWO ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER!" Nora squealed, bobbing up and down, "I NEVER KNEW I WOULD FANGIRL THIS HARD BUT I AM!"

Pyrrha blushed a light shade of pink but Jaune grinned and kissed her lightly on the cheek, making the amazon warrior blush even harder.

"Finally you two are here!" Nora exclaimed, as they sat down on the checked picnic blanket, opening the basket before them, "I would've eaten all the food here, if it weren't for Ren." She casted him an affectionate look, before she gave him a determined one, shouting, "I STILL THINK IT'S A SLOTH."

Ren rolled his eyes in a light-hearted manner and took out the sandwiches they made and packed. Nora took one mouth-watering look at hers before she gulped it down in record time and her face took on a frown.

"Ren?" she pleaded, with the irresistible puppy-dog eyes. Pyrrha and Jaune simply laughed while Ren facepalmed yet again. "Can I have yours?"

"You know, I had a feeling you would do that," Ren replied, once again opening the picnic blanket and taking out another identical sandwich, "So I packed another one for you."

Her eyes widened in surprise. "OHMIGOSH-OHMIGOSH-THANK-YOU-SO-MUCH-REN-I-LOVE-YOU-SO-MUCH-OHMIGOSH-IT'S-ANOTHER-SANDWICH-YAY!" she exclaimed as she took the sandwich and hugged him tightly.

Ren rolled his eyes and plopped her back onto the picnic blanket while they all ate their sandwiches, enjoying their day in the beautiful scenery of the crimson red trees of Forever Fall.

"Does this mean we have no training session this afternoon?" Jaune asked Pyrrha with a hopeful gaze. She laughed and swatted him with a napkin.

"You wish!" she exclaimed in reply, "Oh now that you say that, I'll beat you up harder in the sparring matches and double the Aura exercises."

Jaune stared wide-eye at her as they all laughed. Pyrrha gave a comforting smile before planting a kiss on his cheek, saying, "Just kidding!"

Once everyone was done, they laid down to enjoy the remainder of the day, talking and laughing about their antics.

"We could strap Cardin to helium balloons!" Nora exclaimed, as they tried to look for shapes in the clouds. "Talking of balloons that one looks like one." She squinted at the white clouds and pointed up at them.

"What happened to breaking his legs, Nora?" Pyrrha laughed, "And besides, I think it looks like a lollipop."

"It looks like your hammer to me, Nora," Jaune commented, staring at the shape before shuddering, "Boy, I don't want to mess with you again." They all laughed at the time Jaune had accidentally eaten all the pancakes available and Nora came swinging her Magnhild at him. He winced as he recalled the painful memories, before grinning and laughing with the rest of them.

They all finished their sandwiches (with Nora already devouring her second one ages ago) and continued to chat. Ren finally stuck his hand inside the basket yet again, and took out a huge stack of 12 pancakes, drizzled (more like drowned) in glorious maple syrup.

Nora gasped in excitement, and it took all of Pyrrha's professional strength to stop her from rushing over and eating it.

"But I want to eat them nowwwwwwww," she pouted, still struggling as the amazing warrior put firm hands on her shoulders, "They're Ren's pancakes! They're the best!"

Pyrrha laughed, sitting down next to Nora as Ren made final completions to the dessert, "Yes, they are… Hm, I think I'll have the first bite!"

"No, I think I will," Jaune grinned, eyeing the pancakes with mischief, "If I'm going to fight for them, I will." Pyrrha raised her eyebrows at him, and he realised what situation he was in.

"Uhhhh-"

RAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Nora gasped in shock as they heard the all-familiar sound of… the Grimm creatures.

"Lucky thing we brought our weapons!" Pyrrha exclaimed, Milo and Akouo at the ready. Jaune unsheathed Crocea Mors, while Nora grabbed her hammer and Ren finished hurryingly putting the pancakes in, holding his hands in a ready stance.

"Awwww!" Nora cried, swinging her hammer, "Now we really have to fight for the pancakes!" They all knew that the sweet scent of the maple syrup had attracted the beasts. There were in fact two Ursai: both of which were Ursa Major.

"Crap," Jaune cursed, frightened as he stared at the monsters, who roared again. Pyrrha widened her eyes as she put the pieces together.

"It's mating season!" she cried, as the pair of Ursai slowly approached them, "They'll be more aggressive and protective because of their young!"

Ren facepalmed with this, before Jaune made the first move, sprinting at the Ursa Major on the left. Pyrrha followed quickly, taking several lashes on the creature, which gave a roar at the pain.

Nora had meanwhile boosted herself across the small clearing, flew up into the air with Magnild poised, and crashed onto the other Ursa Major with her hammer. Ren moved in on the offense assault, dodging the Ursa Major's deadly swipes.

Jaune blocked a rapid hand movement from the creature with his shield, before swiping at it with his sword. It made continuous attacks at Jaune, and while Pyrrha was watching she realised he was still holding his shield too low. Using her Semblence, she adjusted the shield again as it deflected another hit, and winced at how close it had been.

On the floor, Jaune thought that the Ursa Major would take advantage of his lowering Aura, but instead it turned to an unfocussed Pyrrha, who was knocked into the air and into the red trees metres away. "Pyrrha!" he cried, dodging another attack and trying to run towards her, "Hold on!" He managed to evade the creature, before running deeper into the crimson forest. The Ursa Major realised a few seconds later, and hurried off to find its prey.

"Ren!" shouted Nora, warning him as he managed to deflect a swipe just in time. Nora was using the grenade launcher attack on the Ursa Major's back, but it gave a sudden roar and moved to the left, trying to avoid another of Ren's attacks. Nora didn't brace herself, and knocked into one of the bony plates, bruising her before she accidentally rolled onto one of the smaller, sharper spikes.

She gave a loud gasp of pain, and released her grip, sending her falling onto the red ground.

"Nora!" Ren cried out in shock, the usually-stoic boy now gripped with a flurry of emotions. He turned back to the beast, which paused in confusion at the boy's concern. Ren let the anger build up inside of him, and channelled it into his Aura.

DON'T – punch – YOU – punch – DARE – punch – HURT – punch – NORA! he screamed in his head, and with one last final hand movement, he channelled a massive amount of Aura into his action and the creature screamed with another roar, dropping dead onto the leafy floor.

Jaune kept calling her name as he ran through the forest, with the Ursa Major on his heels. A weak moan from his left grasped his attention and he turned to the Ursa Major. Come on Jaune, you can do this, he thought to himself, You've killed one before.

Pyrrha stared at him through the thin trees, watching the fight half-consciously as her ankle throbbed horribly. Jaune was out to kill it, she knew it. Taking one final stance, he swiped his blade at the creature's throat, but missed, and the Ursa Major countered with its own attack. Jaune wasn't ready for it though, and Pyrrha's eyes widened as she watched the blow coming, sure and fatal. She gasped, and using the very little Aura she had, held out her hand in front of her, which glowed a black light. The shield he was holding moved of its own accord, and blocked the deadly hit, before he swiped one last time at the monster's throat, decapitating it completely.

Pyrrha gave one last weak smile, before her hand dropped and she collapsed into oblivion.

"We've got a new story to tell now!" a voice exclaimed. Pyrrha slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them, staring up into deep, sapphire eyes. Jaune.

"Hello, Princess Pumpkin!" Nora cried out, before wincing in pain again, "You finally woke up!" Ren calmed her down, placing her hand on her shoulder. "Nora, you shouldn't get yourself too excited yet," he scolded her, letting her lean on him, "You still have to heal."

"What happened?" Pyrrha asked groggily, sitting up from Jaune's lap, which she was resting on.

"I got stabbed by a spike on the Ursa Major!" Nora squealed happily, as though it was good news, "But Ren used his fancy Aura stuff and helped me heal it quicker. At least it stopped bleeding now. There was sooooooo much blood. I hate blood! Remember that one time we were in first grade, Ren and we…"

"Nora," Ren shushed, cupping her mouth with his hand, "Get some rest."

"Aw!" Nora pouted again, "We still haven't eaten the pancakes!" They all laughed at this, forgetting the pancakes in their intense battle against the creatures of Grimm. Ren sighed, before pulling out the dozen pancake stack, sharing three pancakes for each person.

"How are you?" Jaune asked with concern, as he stroked her crimson, flowing hair. She cringed as the pain in her ankle returned.

"I think my ankle is twisted," Pyrrha replied, massaging it carefully to inspect the area, "Probably some ligaments got damaged too, but I think I'll be okay."

Jaune squeezed her hand and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek, before they returned to eating their pancakes and listening to Nora's tales, despite Ren's constant reprimanding of her resting.

When they had finally finished, and the day was coming to an end, they packed up and started to go back.

"Jaune, I think I need a bit of help. Can you support me?" Pyrrha winced, trying to get up using the aid of his hand. He sighed, before scooping his hands under her legs and neck, and picking her up in a fluid movement. "Jaune!" she protested, squirming as he chuckled, "Get me down! Jaune Arc!"

She giggled as he grunted under her sturdy weight but continued to carry her bridal-style beside Ren and Nora… the latter of which was piggybacking on Ren, who was also carrying the basket, hanging on one of his arms.

"I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE! I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!" Nora exclaimed, as she admired the scenery, "Oh what stories we have! Having a great picnic, before fighting the Grimm for pancakes! Awesome!"

"Great pancakes, by the way," Pyrrha thanked the lotus warrior with a smile, who accepted it with grace. They talked, smiled and laughed as they gradually made their way back to Beacon after a long, amazing and interesting day.

Well… That was a thing! O.o Sorry if that fight scene was pretty repetitive and bad: pretty much my first one, actually. I might make another bonus chapter… or maybe even a sequel, but it really depends on you guys! Please review/follow/fav! Even if I'm not going to working on extra chapters, I'm starting up new stories so it won't be a big deal! Going to be busy soon so hopefully I might start on a new story before then! Thanks so much, hope you enjoyed: Broken Moon!

Stay Sweet,
