"NO!" Jaune said as he slammed his head on the desk "I'm doomed! This can't be happening!" he slammed his head again.

The door opened as Pyrrha entered the room, she looked down to see Jaune's face on the desk sobbing "Jaune, I've been looking for you!" she said to him "why don't we do some training? I think we should practice on defense"

Jaune looked up at Pyrrha and smiled "h-hey Pyrrha...look, I'm sorry but can we skip training for today? I...I feel a little sick..."

Pyrrha sighed as she shook her head "Jaune, that excuse has been done by you a dozen times now, last time you made that excuse you were trying to run away with Ruby for the midnight release to that stupid video game you like, there's something else going on and I know it, spit it out"

Jaune sighed as he slammed his head again "I have to make my own dust formula for class, the problem is I skipped out on studying the steps and we have to turn in the Dust crystals tomorrow!" he sobbed "just say it Pyrrha, say it right now...I screwed up again..."

Pyrrha lifted Jaune's face as she looked at his eyes "Jaune..." she said as she smiled, she immediately slapped slapped his face, "W-what was that for?" he asked Pyrrha.

"Once again you neglect your studies? Jaune I thought after all that you've learned you would grow the wiser" she said looking disappointed, Jaune sobbed again saying "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Pyrrha sighed as she lifted Jaune off the seat "come on," she said to him.

"W-where are we going?" Jaune asked her.

"We're going to get some Dust crystals," Pyrrha said "we're doing this project, right here and right now, you're not going to sleep until we finish it!"

Weiss was laying on her bed reading her book "huh..." she said to herself "huh...so you can give humans gills...interesting..." she jumped as she heard a knock on the door, she ran up to the door expecting Ruby to be moving box full of cookies to the dorm "you never know when an emergency might happen" she imagined her saying.

As she opened the door she was shocked to find Pyrrha "O-oh! Oh my Pyrrha!" Weiss said shocked, she felt as if she was unprepared "are you here to study? I-I'm sorry I should have been ready, it's just tha-" she stopped right when she saw Jaune peek out from behind her.

Weiss felt coldness in her chest as she felt disappointment "Oh...you need something," she said.

"Jaune was wondering if he could borrow some empty Dust crystals for a project," Pyrrha said to Weiss.

Weiss sighed as she shook her head and looked at Jaune "why am I not surprised that you out of all people would skip out on that project?"

Jaune gave off a shy laugh as he said "you...expected a different outcome?"

"Not really," Weiss said as she opened the door, "come in...I'll see what I can find"

Pyrrha stepped in the dorm as she looked behind and noticed Jaune was standing at the doorway "Jaune, come on" she said.

"I-I can't Pyrrha...I've never really went into a girls room..." he said "my mom said it's rude to barge into a girls room...it's where they keep all their secrets"

"Oh for gods sake..." Weiss said.

"Jaune, you live with me and Nora, what difference does this make?" Pyrrha asked.

"Well..." Jaune said "remember when I told you guys that changing times were going to be separated? And that we're all to have locks on our drawers?"

"Yeah..." Pyrrha recalled "wait...are you that uncomfortable with having living with girls?"

Jaune blushed "yeah well...it's just how I live at home and-"

Pyrrha grabbed Jaune's arm and pulled it into team RWBY's dorm, "OKAY OKAY OKAY!" Jaune started screaming "THIS IS BAD THIS IS-" Weiss than clapped her hand on Jaune's mouth .

"Shut up!" she said "just shut up! God do you really want to alert the whole dormitory?"

Jaune shook his head and gulped.

"Alright, I may have some extra empty crystals, I'll let you have 2 of them with no charge," Weiss said.

"No charge?" Pyrrha asked "you charge people for Dust?"

"It's a small thing to help daddy," Weiss said as she handed the crystals over to Jaune "and here, as a treat I'll give you my dust formula book absolutely free under one condition"

"And what is that?" Jaune asked

"You stay away from me for the rest of the week," Weiss replied "now get out"

The hours passed by at Jaune and Pyrrha implanted formula's into the Dust crystals, "we're almost done Jaune, soon we'll have a simple teleportation Dust crystal" Pyrrha said.

"Right," Jaune said as he mixed in the last formula according to the book "well...here we go," as he poured in the blue potion, a blue light filled the room as Jaune and Pyrrha looked down to see the two new shining blue Dust crystals .

"Alright! That should be good!" Pyrrha said to him "now lets give it a test run!"

"Right..." Jaune said as he grabbed the Dust crystal "...on second thought Pyrrha could you be the one to test it?"

"Huh? Why? It's your project Jaune," she said "it's appropriate for you to test it,"

"I know," Jaune said thinking of a lie "but...wouldn't it be better if you used it? That way I can write notes, I'll use it later when we give it a second run,"

"Makes sense...I suppose" Pyrrha said as Jaune gave her the crystal "alright, my goal is to teleport to the rooftop where we train!" she said to Jaune, he nodded as Pyrrha took a deep breath "well...here we go,"

She shook the crystal as a white light filled the room, Jaune's vision was completely blind as his ears were ringing "oh god..." he said "oh god...am I dead? Is this the end? Oh god...is that you grandma?"

Minutes later the white disappeared from Jaune's eyes as he adjusted his eyes, he could faintly see his dorm room as his hearing become more clear "...aune...Jau...Jaune?...Jaune?" he heard as he shook his head fiercely "Pyrrha?" he said "are you around?"

"Jaune," Pyrrha said "I'm right here"

Jaune looked down to see Pyrrha on the ground, a blanket over her legs as he looked around the dorm to find it in a mild mess "oh man..." Jaune said again "well...at least we didn't burn down anything...are you alright Pyrrha?"

"Yeah..." she said "but Jaune...something's not right...I-I can't feel my legs"

"You...can't feel your legs?" Jaune asked "why? I mean...I know the Dust didn't work but I didn't think it would end you up like that...did something fall on you?"

"I-I don't think so..." Pyrrha said "here, help me up please"

Jaune bent down and removed the blanket from Pyrrha, in that moment his skin turned pale as he opened his mouth to scream...but nothing would come out.

Pyrrha's legs were gone, and in it's place was a tail, a fish's one at that, it was long and as red as Pyrrha's hair.

"What is it Jaune? What's the matter?" Pyrrha asked.

"Pyrrha..." Jaune said "do me a favor and don't look down"

"Jaune, now you're being silly," Pyrrha said "I don't know what you're talking abo-" as she looked down at her missing legs to see her new tail, this was the first time Jaune had ever seen fear in Pyrrha's eyes "w-wh-WHAT?" she yelled, she grabbed the end of her tail in disbelief, she felt it's scaly and slimy feel as she let go, it made a wet slap on the floor.

"This can't be real...I mean? What happened to me? What am I?" Pyrrha began to panic, "How am I going to compete like this! How am I going to eat? How am I going to go to class!" as she began sobbing.

"H-hey Pyrrha don't cry," Jaune said as he grabbed her shoulder "you're like one of those...mermaids in those stories my mom read to me when I was a kid".

"Don't cry? Jaune! Look at me! Look at what I've become! Do you think I wanna be a mermaid?" as she lifted her tail in front of him "Jaune, you better fix me right now! Do you realize how much trouble we can get in for this?"

Jaune than imagined the professors yelling at him for this, this could cause him to be expelled, groups could take Pyrrha away from Beacon and treat her like a guinea pig pig for their experiments. He wouldn't allow his teammate and his friend to be treated like that "I swear to you Pyrrha, I'll figure this out!" he said as he stood up "first we need to figure out why this happened, why did our Dust do this to you?"

He frantically flipped through the pages of the book, finding anything they screwed up on "I...I don't get it," Jaune said "we did everything by the book! How could we-" he closed the book as he noticed the cover: "learning aquatic semblance and aura" "you have to be joking..." he said

"What is it?" Pyrrha asked "did we skip a step? Did we mix something wrong?"

"No," Jaune said "Weiss gave us the wrong book,"

"How? Why? You know what? It doesn't matter," Pyrrha said in anger "Jaune we have to find a way to get my legs back! Go get Weiss and ask her how to fix this!"

"R-right!" Jaune said as he jumped back on his feet "I'll get Weiss-"

"Jaune, wait!" Pyrrha said, Jaune looked back at her and saw that she was panting "Jaune...I...I can't breathe...I feel like...like I'm going to suffocate!"

"AHHH!" Jaune screamed in frustration as he threw the book on the desk and bent down to grab Pyrrha, he lifted her off the ground as he felt her scaly tail, "slimy...slimy...slimy" he said as he kicked the bathroom door open.

"Alright...uhhh...fish...bathtub...water...perfect!" he said as he dropped Pyrrha in the bathtub.

"Ow!" she yelled as her head hit the wall "Jaune! Be careful!"

"S-s-sorry!" Jaune said as he closed the drain and turned on the bath, the water came flowing in as Pyrrha gave a sigh of relief.

"Much better..." she said as she smiled.

Jaune sat on the toilet and sighed "what am I gonna do?" he said to himself.

Pyrrha slapped her tail on the edge of the bathtub, "hey, don't blame yourself Jaune," she said "Weiss slammed that book in your hands, if anything it's her fault"

"I know...I know...I just...AHH" he screamed "this can't be happening! It's like I'm caught in some sci-fi show or fairy tail or something!"

"Jaune, calm down," Pyrrha said "you can solve this, I know you can, first you have to get Weiss, I'm sure she knows something"

"Right!" Jaune said as he jumped back up "I can do this! I can fix this..." he said as he looked at Pyrrha's tail and nodded "I can...totally fix this...no problem..." as he ran out of the room.
