Chapter 12 - Guy's Day Out!

I'm back! Nothing more to say except just enjoy the chapter which I was able to put up for all of you guys following cause I appreciate and love your guys support. Without further ado let's go!

(Opening Theme : Unleash the Power - Finley)

"...Guys, I think...WE NEED A GUYS DAY OUT!"

Ky and Ren looked at Jaune with tilted heads. The magenta eyed teen then blinks. "Uhm, what do you mean by that?"

Jaune frowned at the two of them while he placed a piece of broccoli inside in his mouth. Both teams were currently eating breakfast, but Jaune pulled the guys together onto a separate table.

"Well, if you guys hadn't noticed, out of both of our teams, we're the only guys! Don't you two feel that the proportion of girls to guys makes us feel a bit awkward at times? Like we don't really know what to do when they go out to do stuff?!" Jaune whispered loudly.

"Jaune, you sure you're feeling alright? Is all that training with Pyrrha messing with your head?" Ky raised an eyebrow as he swallowed a pancake whole. Ren nodded in agreement.

Jaune sighed. "N-No! I'm just saying, that as guys, guys, we just never had any proper time to do things that well...guys just do. Like, I don't know, going to arcades or just hanging out in general, you know?"

Ky and Ren looked at each, and began to think.

"I...suppose." Ren admitted. Usually, all their time was used spending with their team, especially with Nora and overlooking her shenanigans. Jaune nodded furiously.

"Yes, yes! That's what I mean! We don't spend any time just having fun together as guys! Come on, why don't we go into the city or something?" He then suggested. Ky and Ren once again look at each other.

"I...suppose?" Ky also said. "But if we're going to do this secret thing, we have to make sure that the girls don't find out."

"Yes. I have no doubt that either Yang or Nora will try to intervene." Ren added on. Jaune smiled, and grabs them closer so that their heads clutch together.

"Okay then, here's the plan..." He started.

From the other table, the girls were chattering as usual, but of course, there were some that had their attention pointing towards the boys' table. Yang and Nora were glancing in their direction as Weiss discussed about some other kind of rambling.

"So, the properties of this kind of Dust allows one to..." She blabbered on towards Ruby as she showed her some pages of notes.

"Heeeey... The guys seem to be discussing something!" Nora gestured to them. The girls stopped talking and started to look over. Yang grinned as she cupped her hands in a mischievous matter.

"Oooh? Let's go see what they're talking about then. They aren't going to plan a little outing without us, are they...?" She snickered as she stealthily started to sneak over to them. Nora does the same.

"U-Uhm, shouldn't we not bother them?" Ruby suggested. Weiss merely rolled her eyes as she tried to get the scythe girl to go back to her lecture.

"Naaaw...! Let's go, Ruby!" Nora grinned as she grabs the girl from her seat. She yelped as she somehow gets quietly dragged close to their table.

Blake narrowed her eyes as she sighed. Going back to her book, she decided not to get involved with this, but her eyes couldn't help but glance every so often as the three girls started to get closer. As Yang and Nora tip toed with Ruby in tow, they started to eavesdrop on their talk.

"So, when the girls go back after they eat, we can go over to that spot and then..." Jaune continued. Ky and Ren would occasionally nod, and Yang and Nora would grin. Ruby wasn't sure this was a good idea, because the first thought that went through her mind was that the guys were planning an outing of some sort.

'Come to think of it, they never really had the opportunity to have some...guy time together? If that's what you call it.' Ruby thought as the idea went through her mind.

As the guys started to end their planning, Yang dragged herself and the other two back to their table in fast fashion. Going back to eating, Ky couldn't help but glance at the other table in suspicion. It was going to be an interesting day, that's for sure...

"I'm still not sure about of this great 'escape plan', Jaune..."

Ren muttered with caution as he and Ky follow the blonde in an 'attempted' snakingly sufficient matter of movement, and by that, by crawling through the bushes and other matters of grasses in the school campus.

"Hey, we're almost there, alright?!" Jaune barked as he tried to sneak by. Ky puts on an unamused expression as he gestured towards the main gate of Beacon.

"Jaune, I can literally see hundreds of students moving about through the entrance. We could've just blended in with the crowd." He said. Jaune looked back at the two with half open eyes, but finally decided to give up.

"...Eh, fine." He said as he stood up. As Ren and Ky did so as well, the three simply started to blend in on the main road with a bunch of other students heading out into Vale.

While they were doing so, from afar in Team RWBYK'S dorm room, Yang grinned as she looked through a pair of binoculars. The girls of both teams were currently trying to spot the trio from leaving, even with some albeit, less interested members.

"Oh, I see them! They're trying to blend in with the crowd!" Yang yelled out. While Blake and Weiss simply glanced over in a semi-amused fashion, and Ruby in somewhat a nervous reaction, Nora zipped over next to the blonde.

"Ohhhh! Lemme see, lemme see!" She flailed her arms next to the blonde. Yang quickly handed her the device, as well as her spot.

"Oh, you're right! How dumb do they think we are?! Come on, let's go girls!" She then turned around with a large grin. "We're going hunting for fun!"

"Hunting...for...fun? I don't get the concept." Ruby responded with a curious tone. Yang rolled her tongue as she wrapped an arm around her.

"What she means sis, is that we're going to tailgate those guys and see what kinds of juicy things they do around the city! Doesn't that sound exciting?" She revealed. Ruby blinked in confusion as she raised an eyebrow.

"Uhhhh..." She didn't really know how to answer that, soooo... "I guess? Blake, what do you think?"

"M-Me? I...do what you want, I guess." The cat girl answered in a hesitant tone. Yang's smile grew into a mischievous grin as she zipoed behind her and tickled her jaw.

"Oh-ho...? Seems like your older-sister traits are starting to unlock themselves...! Come, let's revel in the enjoyment together, Blake!" She said as though she were trying to recruit her into some kind of cult.

Weiss shook her head through all of this. "Must we make this a big scene? What's so special about tailing the guys around the city?"

"Well, think about it Weiss. Have you ever seen what guys do in their spare time? I doubt you ever had the opportunity to know such things...and what if they happen to be talking about girls and...'unjust' things?" She began to implement some thoughts into the snowflake girl.

"...Unjust thoughts, impure ideas...?" Weiss blinked as a thought bubble popped in her head. Yang nodded.

"Yeah, like..." She then goes up to her and began to whisper into her ear. The ice girl blinked a few times as she listened in, and after frowning a few times, her cheeks busted into rose red.

"WH-WHAT?! Yang, why would you suggest something like that?! Wait, why do you even know about stuff like that?" Weiss suddenly backed up from her whiling barking. Yang grinned.

"Well... Telling from that reaction, you're pretty knowing despite your princess-like style of growing up. I didn't think you would be able to read or see that sort of stuff, Weiss!" She then nudged her.

"...What stuff?" Ruby asked. Blake put a finger on her lips.

"...Hush, my sweet cookie child. What she just said shouldn't be in your mind now." She responded. Ruby frowned, but before she could go further on, Nora and Yang grabs everyone out of the room.

"LET'S GOOOOOOOO!" They both yelled as they sped out. Ruby wondered what she was getting herself into this time...

XXXXXXXX

"...This is gonna be the best trip for all of us guys!"

Now arriving in Vale, Janue led the trio of him, Ren, and Ky. Counted he didn't exactly know what to do actually, he quickly started to gather ideas based on what he saw while they were wandering around. Ren and Ky however could tell how indecisive he was going to be though, because it didn't help that Jaune was practically mesmerized by every little thing he saw.

"Even I wasn't that jumpy when I first arrived in Vale." Ky stated as he and Ren follow the blonde. "Where is Jaune from anyways? Do you know, Ren?"

"I think he mentioned that his family lived around in the Kingdom of Mistral, or at least they go there regularly." Ren shrugged. "He did say that he has seven sisters, so maybe that's why he's amazed by everything."

"Tell me about it. You'd think It would've socially awkward or something when he met Ruby and I," Ky muttered as he waves his hands around joking. The pistol wielding teen smiled as they go on.

As they continued to travel through the entrance of the Commercial District, it was then that Jaune started to look upon a couple of interesting places. Ky remembered that the district contained locations such as Tukson's Book Trade, Goto's Blacksmith, and many other places. There was much that they could do, even with the recent crimes happening from the likes of Roman Torchwick and other criminals.

From afar, as the three continued to randomly explore and sightsee around the city, the girls of Team RWBYK and JNPR peeked out from an alleyway. They all had gotten 'inconspicuous' disguises, even though they probably weren't needed.

"Suspects spotted, chief!" Nora looked afar with her hands acting as binoculars. She wore a detective's uniform, complete with the brown trench coat and hat. "Going up north and continuing onwards toward the heart of the Commercial District!"

"I read you! Let's go, girls~!" Yang sang. The blonde wore a blue, knee-length skirt with black leggings and white shirt with a blue string tie, and brown boots. Her hair was tied into a pony-tail, which pretty much contrasted her wild, outgoing look for a sleek and maidenly one.

Pulling Weiss and Ruby out the corner side, they nearly tripped as they stumbled out. The snow girl wore a simple black blouse with a blue jacket, and a black skirt with grey sneakers. Wearing a black baseball cap with sunglasses, her hair was laid down. She sighed as she snuck over to a corner.

"Tell me why we're doing this again...?" She muttered. Ruby groaned as she walked next to her. The scythe girl wore a red and black jersey, black boy shorts, grey and black boots, and a red muffler alongside a black beanie. Yang practically had to rip off her cloak in order to change her into the new set of clothes.

"Because Yang and Nora wanted to apparently see what guys do when they go out together...?" Blake growled as she tried to untie a ribbon around her neck. Contrary to the other girls, Yang and Nora decided to dress the cat girl in a black sailor girl uniform, with her skirt being long, her hair tied into twin braids, and giving her wiggly glasses.

"I think this kind of thing is pretty fun to do once in a while though, don't you all think?" Pyrrha smiled as she stepped out.

Everyone around couldn't help but stare at her graceful appearance. Wearing a white summer dress and a white t-shirt underneath, she also wore a straw hat. Her hair was tied into a loose plait, giving everyone around her a vague feeling of motherly-ness, or some other similar feeling.

"Pyrrha, you're too innocent..." They all muttered as they go back to looking.

Looking back, they start to see Jaune running towards a movie theater like a child excited to get an ice cream cone. Ky and Ren chuckle sarcastically upon seeing the movie that he wanted to view with them.

"Guys, I've got it! All the best movies out right now are about superheroes. So, I think we should see..."The Huntsman Rises"!" He suggests with his eyes shining like the moon.

Ky glances at the poster, and frowns upon seeing the similarity to a certain comic book hero from the comics he used to read. Ren noticed this, and looks upon it as well.

"Something that reminds of you of something?" He guessed. Ky nodded.

"Dead on. It's literally an alternate version of a comic book hero I used to read. That's soooo strange... Jaune, do ya really want to see this?" He and Ren then turned to look at Jaune, their eyes turned white upon seeing him decked out in fan gear suddenly.

"Of course! I've been waiting for this sequel to come out for years! There's no way I'm missing out on this! Come on, I already got the tickets, let's go, let's goooo!" He yelled enthusiastically, dragging the two across the street and straight into the movie theater entrance.

The girls walked towards the theater after waiting for a several seconds, taking a moment to glance at the movie that Jaune wanted to see. Yang frowned, but Nora seemed to enjoy it immensely.

"Ohhh! A sequel for that movie that came out a few years ago! Let's go see it!" Ruby jumped to the reception, buy tickets for all of the girls. "Come on, Blake, Weiss! I'm sure you two will love it!"

"Yeah, but I'm more of a novel—Waah!" Blake squeaked as she and Weiss get dragged into the doorway.

"I thought she forgot about that horrible movie... The last time we went to the theaters, she got so hooked onto it, she came back every day, even skipping through school for a week...!" Yang winced from the horrible memories.

Nora slapped her back though as she dragged Pyrrha with her. "Oh come on, silly! Heroes are what we as Huntresses star to become! It's a like a dream come true, and with a happy ending to boot!"

Yang slouched over in disbelief, but sighed as she shrugged, entering the movie theater shortly after. She really was starting to regret on making a plan to spy on the guys now...

2 hours later...

"OH. MY. GOD! That was soooo epic! Remember that scene where he jumps off from the rooftop and blocks all of those bullets, and he's like 'I'm here to serve...!'! Ooooh I'm just getting goosebumps all over again! I'm gonna buy the digital copy so that I can watch it over and over again!" Jaune spoke so fast that Ren and Ky thought Professor Oobleck had taken over his body for a second.

"Yes, it was...interesting." Ren struggled to answer. "He truly was heroic..."

"Oh yeah," Ky said with a playful eyeroll. The best hero I've ever seen..." He lay an arm across his forehead in a dramatic voice. "...And just before he passed on, they made this beautiful eye contact, there's no judgment there. She knew he was already judging himself. But no, She didn't want to add to that burden. So She just shot him this understanding nod. And as the light leaves his eyes, he dies, in her arms, and she realized, all too late, that he truly was the leader we needed all along... Ennnnd scene."

"Hey that was emotional scene!" Jaune shot out.

"Yeah, so emotional that you burst out in tears," Ky snorted.

"I sweating from my eyes!" 

"Yeah, that's called crying, buddy."

Jaune ignores Ky's remark, but as he starts to walk, his stomach begins to growl violently. Upon hearing it, the guys, as well as the girls' stomachs start to do so as well. Everyone looks down at their waist, sweat dropping.

"...So, should we get something to eat?" Jaune suggests. Ren smiles as he pumps his chest.

"...I know just the place. Follow me, gentlemen." He ordered as he began to zoom off. Jaune and Ky glanced at each other with confused looks, but the growling of their stomachs encourage them to quickly gave chase to the teen. From afar, the girls began to do so as well.

After running for a minute or so at top speed, Ren stood politely in front of a small restaurant. It had a large red donning with big yellow words reading out "STRIVING!".

"I present to you, the family restaurant known as Striving!" He gestured over with a smile unlike any Ben and Jaune had seen before. "Come now, let us enter!"

"Uh, alri—" Before the blunette could finish that sentence, Ren dragged them into the place by their arms. The blonde and blue haired boys yelped as a puff of smoke replaced them.

Nora slowly strides out from the corner, drooling immensely after she and everyone else waited for a few minutes. The girls hesitated to come near her as she turned around.

"Ren, you fool... I'M! SO! HUNGRY! LET'S EAT!" She brought out Magnhild somehow from under her hat, smacking everyone into the store with a powerful swing.

As everyone crashed in, the hammer girl zipped as well, immediately getting a table for all six of them, but not before planning to get a seat that hid them from Ren and the other two. Ruby's eyes spun around as she tried to look at her menu, with Blake actually drooling a bit upon seeing several seafood entries, particularly fish. Yang and Nora merely sip on cups of soda as they continued to spy.

"Teehee, this is very lovely." Giggling, Pyrrha calls a waitress over as Yang tried to peek out using her binoculars.

"What are they doing, captain?!" Nora called out.

"Captain?"

"Just let it go, Blake."

Weiss decided to not bother interfering with the girls' shenanigans, as the force known as hunger was blinding her thoughts for the moment. She needed something to fill her, and something fast, so she had no time to lily-gag around like taking the time to eavesdrop on them.

Over at Ren's table, the trio looked at the menus. He had already told him about his recommendations, but at this point, practically everything looked good to the guys. Ordering at least 5 dishes, mostly due to Ky's ferocious stomach and appetite, the girls started to do so as well once they called over their waitress once more.

"I'll get the Cheese Gratin, the Tea Cup Parfait as well... Oh, also the Beowulf stew and the Thunder Soup!" Ky pointed to several menu choices. The waitress that served them sweat dropped at the number of orders.

"I'll get a simple beef stew." Jaune chuckled awkwardly. He was hungry, but he wasn't that hungry. Ren decided to get an order of their seafood paella, which came as a sense of relief once she finished recording their orders.

"Very well. Thank you for ordering." She bowed slightly, before taking the order to the kitchen.

"Ugh... I can't wait...!" Ky wiped his mouth as he leaned back in his seat. "Even Twilight Town's restaurants aren't this bad...and that's saying something!"

As Ky mentioned that, Ren and Jaune glanced over at him. "What's Twilight Town?" The blonde asked curiously.

"Hmm? Oh, it's the place where I spent most of my time growing up and training with Aptus before coming to Beacon. It's a amazing yet quiet quiet city in endless sunset," Ky said as looked up at the ceiling with a soft smile. "As the name implies, when the sun is positioned in the sky in the mid noon, it shows off a beautiful red sunset that can be seen for miles. At night, the stars can be seen clearly too. It's also a place those who lost to their homes or are orphans."

Jaune smiled. "Sounds like a really great place to check out."

"It is, though I'd say one of the best things about it is the 'Struggle' Tournament!"

"What is this 'Struggle' Tournament?" Ren asked interest.

The 'Struggle' Tournament is a all around popular sport played throughout Twilight Town. It consists of two players who battle with foam weapons in order to knock "Struggle Orbs" off of each other. The winner is the player with the most Orbs at the end of sixty seconds. It's A single-elimination tournament is held in the town every summer, the prize of which is the Four-Crystal Trophy, and a chance at a match against the reigning champion for an additional prize."

"Awesome!" Jaune said in awe. "Have you ever won it?"

"Meh, about three or two," Ky shrugged. "Aptus won some too, so we're kinda tied for the moment."

Over from Ruby's table, the muffler girl was practically keeling over from hearing Ky talking about his new home, especially this 'Struggle' event. She desperately wanted to join the conversation, and was almost successful, despite both Yang and Nora pulling her down.

"Pyrrha, restrain her please!" Yang whispered loudly. Pyrrha sighed, and reluctantly puts the muffler girl into a headlock.

"Gwah...!" Ruby whined. "I wanna hear more about that 'Struggle' tournament though!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Ruby, tournaments can't be so important that you forget to eat!" Weiss hissed. "Have some self-restraint for crying out loud!"

As Pyrrha maintained her hold for the duration of their wait, it was then that both teams got their food. And although it was a lot that they got, especially with Nora ordering even more than Ky, four more dishes to be exact, to their surprise, it didn't even take them half an hour to devour all the masses of stomach fuel.

"...I can't believe you finished 5 whole dishes in 20 minutes." Jaune looked at the empty dishes with astonished eyes. Ky had literally licked them clean.

Ren merely shrugged as he finished his dish. "I've seen worse. There was this one time that Nora was food deprived for two days. She ate out an entire restaurant as a result."

"R-Really...? That's a bit scary to be honest."

"Don't worry. That's why whenever I cook, I make large portions." Ren smiled. "Do you want to try my pancakes? They're the things that I make too many of, even for Nora."

"Can we?!" Ky immediately shot up and zipped in front of his face.

"S-Surely."

"Oooh, I can't wait...!" He rubbed his hands in joy. Ren chuckled, and Jaune smiled as he stood up.

"Looks like everyone's all happy now! Alright, let's continue our awesome Guy's Outing!" He chuckled as he paid for the food. "It's on me!"

As their waitress thanked them for their patronage, it was then that Nora and the gang's heads popped out from their seats. Nora frowned as she took a gigantic chunk of steak and swallowed it whole.

"Crap, they're getting' away! After them!" Nora quickly devoured the rest of everyone's food and slams the amount of Lien from her pocket onto the table. She and Yang dash out of the place, followed by Ruby and Weiss.

As Blake slowly walked out and bowed, Pyrrha giggled as she followed the bookworm. "This is becoming quite the lovely trip!"

A Few Hours Later...

"AAAAH! COME ON, LET ME WIN AT LEAST ONCE!"

"Oh, don't worry... YOU'LL STILL BE REMEMBERED FOR PUTTING UP A FIGHT, MAGGOT! 

"NO! PLEASE! MERCY! I YIELD! I YIELD!"

"DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR!!!"

"NNNNNNOOOOO!"

Jaune whined as he smacked his down on an arcade machine. "How are you so good at this?! I've been a master of this series ever since I was little!"

"Perhaps Ky really is the 'King of Fun'. "

"Ha, Told ya so! Besides, this is nothing compared to playing Super Dragon Crystal with Ruby!" Ky grinned as he and Jaune got ready for another round.

The arcade game they were playing resembled that of a ninety's 2D fighting game. Ky was used to playing this, as he played games with Aptus, which bored an odd similarity in gameplay. The characters themselves were self-imaginary depictions of Grimm, Huntsmen and Huntresses, as well as some other arbitrary beings. Jaune had even tricked Ky into picking one of the worst characters ever, a person who looked buff, but had a terrible move set, and had a 50% fail rate when activating his ultimate move.

However, he had still proven to be triumphant, a fact that Ky took gladly as he continued to use the horrible character to humiliate the blonde, much to his chagrin. After about five more rounds of agonizing defeat, Jaune dropped the floor and huddled.

"...How did he succeed in defeating me with the worst character, five times in a row...! MASTER, teach me your ways!" He then snapped, grabbing Ky's shoulders.

"Well, first of all, all you're doing is spamming the control board. You didn't even pull off your character's ultimate once. You should start by looking at the manual first, Jaune." Ky folded his arms as he gave him a smug smile.

The blonde deflated, shoulders slumping forward as Ren caught him. "You ok?"

"I wanna go home now..." Jaune cried as he and Ren started to walk out. "I'll get my revenge... One of these days at least! BUNNY FOO-FOO WILL RAIN TRIUMPHANT!"

"Yeah, go figure." Ky shrugged while maintaining his smug grin, exiting the arcade. Although, from another part of the arcade...

"Okay, next time I get a chance, I'm challenging him to a match. I need a new sparring partner, since Ruby pretty much sucks at it." Yang spoke out as she peeked out from behind another arcade machine.

While Ruby pouted at her insult, Nora sighed. "I'm getting hungry again..."

"Looks like this spying mission wasn't so efficient." Weiss sarcastically said. "All they did was fool around!"

"It was kinda fun to see how they act around each other, compared to how to they usually act around with us girls though!" Pyrrha wiggled her fingers as she responded.

"Well, I guess... They're much more restrained, or calm when they're with us, now that you mentioned it..." Ruby scratched her cheek.

"Then that just means the guys are conscious about us as the opposite sex! Don't you see, Ruby? They see us as women!" Yang grinned. "Same could be said for how Ky see you!"

"W-What!?" Ruby squeaked as her cheeks burned red.

"Yang! Don't corrupt her innocent mind!" Weiss covered Ruby's ears. 

"...Maybe Jaune's finally starting to become aware...?" Pyrrha mumbled, no one hearing her thoughts.

Blake rolled her eyes. "...I guess that's the end of the little event then."

"WHATEVER! LET'S GO HOME, I'M HUNGRY!" Nora yelled as she began to stomp her way out of the arcade. The other girls froze upon feeling the ground shake from her, and quietly started to tremble as they followed the hammer girl back to Beacon.

Guess the entire journey of spying turned out to be worthless in the end. Or maybe not...?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddddddd done! Sorry if this chapter is shorter compared to the others, but I've been focusing on preparing for Blake's arc. Let me know what you guys thought about this chapter by review or PM me.
