(Remnant)

At the training school for huntsmen and huntress in training: Beacon Academy, there are two students training together on the the dorms rooftop. But in the middle of it, their minds are a bit distracted by something they been thinking for quite a while now.

“Why don’t we take a break for a bit Pyrra, I’m sure even strong warriors need some rest before their next big fight in a tournament.” Said Jaune Arc, suggests stopping their training for the night.

“Yes a wise idea to save as much energy as you need to hold your and not stressing yourself too much.” Pyrrha Nikos agreed, despite being strong young warrior she too knows that she has limits.

“Well you are fighting in the one on one match, so I just want make sure that your 100% in both the mind and the body.”

“Thank you Jaune, I’m honor that you caring for my well-being will give me the strength to fight till the bitter end.”

As the two look at each other they suddenly blush, realizing that they quitting turn away feeling embarrass and thinking about what to do now.

“(Aww man, what was that about? I feel like my heart is exploding of Pyrrha whenever I look at her.)” He thought to himself. For a while now Jaune keep having these strange feelings towards Pyrrha and confuse of what to do next? “(Why couldn’t it be easy to just tell how feel and find out if she feels the same way about me?)”

“(I’ve fought in competitions, battle against Grimms, and even been chosen to be the next Fall Maiden, yet why am I afraid of having some feelings for Jaune and if he’s feels for me too?)” Pyrrha thought to herself, wondering to if there’s a chance to tell him how she feels. Even thought she's been some troubling thoughts about becoming a maiden and afraid of changing who she is, not sure if she's up to task at hand.

Both Jaune and Pyrrha have the same thoughts of loving each other and hopefully to find the right time to tell each other their true feelings. But what they don’t know the time of confession will come sooner than expected… in another world.

(Canterlot high: Soccer field)

“Can’t you believe that it’s almost winter break, ooooohh I have so many plans for our big holiday party before we back to our home to spent time with our friends and families.” Said the over exciting Pinkie Pie, getting ready for the holiday and telling her friend about the big party tonight.

“We know Pinkie the school is exciting about this, two whole of no school and just while shuddering some moves on the snowboards.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Not much chores to do around tha barn, which means doing more fun time in tha snow.” Applejack agreed getting ready for the holidays.

“Oh and just wait for new design of the holidays I’m working on, I’ll help you with the animal shelter dear Fluttershy.” Rarity said.

“Thank you, I need to make sure the animals are given to nice homes and families.” Fluttershy said cheerfully.

“I’m glad we don’t have to do anything magic problem or solving things, just relaxing and hanging out with our friends is always the best.” Said Sunset Shimmer.

“Yep nothing like a fun cold time with your friends is any better, right Spike.” Twilight Sparkle said look at her backpack to see if her dog agrees.

“You know it.” Spike the dog said, happily and exciting as well.

“Great all we have to do continue on today until two strangers from somewhere really ultra far away, who are training to become super strong warriors to like vanquish some evil monsters or bad guys to suddenly come here in a flash lightning and find the courage to confess their love to each other, then enjoy the rest of the holiday at the party were having tonight.”

Everyone look at Pinkie Pie with confusing looks and wonder if whatever she says will ever make sense in the future. But they all know that Pinkie is just being Pinkie, though sometimes it makes them worry about their friend.

“Pinkie, you’re just so random.” Rainbow Dash said, not taking of what Pinkie says seriously sometimes.

Pinkie did a big smile, and then the bell rang for their next class will begin soon. Everyone walk to the school, then through the hallway. Expecting everyone they know to be at the party, but there will be a few more guest soon.

(Remnant)

“Ok Jaune, you can do this just go up and tell her how you no matter what happen. Alright I think I’m ready.” Jaune said finish putting on his tuxedo, the one he wore at the beacon dance, and got a box warp in ribbons.

He went to the roof to meet Pyrrha on the roof hoping that he hasn’t kept her waiting for long. As he got up there he sees a beautiful sight, Pyrrha wearing her red dress that she wore the last time looking up to the night sky and the broken moon.

She turns and saw Jaune looking handsome and smile.

“You very look handsome.” She said, blushing of the word she just led out.

“Thanks, hope I haven’t kept you waiting on a beautiful night like yourselves.” He said, also blushing of what he just said.

They walk towards each other and just stare for a few second just as they were about to speak.

A lightning bolt suddenly strikes down to Jaune and Pyrrha, consuming them in a bright light as they scream at the top of their lungs.

(Canterlot High)

Jaune slowly open his eyes to see what just happen and saw Pyrrha unharmed and look at himself to see that he too was unharmed, both are confuse of what was up with the lightning bolt and why are they least not a little crispy.

“What was that all about, the lightning bolt hit us dead on, but somehow were alive. Crazy night huh Pyrrha.” But she didn’t respond as she was looking at something that was strange and odd.

That when she realizes what happen to them and where they are now.

“Jaune, I don’t think were in either Beacon academy or Remnant anymore.” Pyrrha said as she pointed her finger at what she was looking at.

Jaune was confuse of what she meant and thought she was crazy, until he look at what Pyrrha was looking at and became shock of what he seeing right now. In front of them is a large building (not as large as beacon) with a crystal horse statue in the front yard, plus it’s snowing everywhere they see from the ground they stand on to the top of the building.

“Waoh what’s going on, what is this places, how did we get here, why are we even here, and how will get back home?” He panicked as he scratches his head and walking in circles.

But Pyrrha stop him and try to calm him down to think clearly.

“It’s ok, I promise we’ll figure this out together and see if there’s anyone who can help us with our problem.”

As Jaune began to claim himself a loud ring from the building started and young kids, some the same age as Jaune and Pyrrha, walking out of the building passing by the two. They can tell that they are students so meaning the building in front of them is some sort of school, but soon learn that it’s just a normal school, none combat training school at all.

Jaune was about to speak up to ask least one of them to know where they are, a puffy pink hair girl suddenly pop’s up behind them like she just appear out of fin air.

“Hi-ya my name Pinkie Pie are you two new in town, have you just transfer here, maybe that’s why my pinkie sense were going off about some new people here, hey what’s with the fancy get-up, going to a party, or maybe you are on a date together? Oh that is just romantic and sweet.” Pinkie speaks rapidly like she has sugar rush or like a funny cartoon.

The two find this girl weird but a cheerful kind as well though they were having a bit of trouble of understanding her since she talks fast, then a few girls came out of the school and run towards them.

“Excuse us about Pinkie Pie here darlings, she can be a little over the edge when it comes it meeting new people these days, so what brings you Canterlot High?” Rarity said, hoping that they didn’t find Pinkie award.

“Don’t worry we actually have someone exactly like her where were from, maybe even like her twin if not possible.” Said Jaune, remembering one of his teammates being this exciting about anything. The thought of having two Nora's seem a little scary.

“Whoa now that something I like to see for myself, by the way I’m Rainbow Dash and these are my friends; Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and you already met Pinkie Pie.” She said pulling Pinkie to her as her friend smile big.

“Nice to meet you all, the name Jaune Arc, sweet rolls off the tongue, ladies love it.”

“I’m Pyrrha Nikos, it’s alright about your friend, and I can tell that she’s important part of your group same goes to all of you.” She said, suddenly felt a little cold as she rubs her arms together.

“Oh dear you must be chilling out here, well with what your wearing now.” She just into her bag and brought out a big long scarf. “Here it’s my old scarf; I think you’ll need it more than me.”

Pyrrha put the scarf on as she begun to feel a little warm. “Thank you, it is a bit chilly today.”

“Oh I know, why don’t we go to my place and you something comfortable to wear, and then we can talk you two about yourself.”

“Oh on, we really don’t want to trouble you guys so well just be” Jaune was interrupted when Rarity place her fingers on Jaune’s lips.

“I insist darling, it just how generosity I can be.”

Jaune gave it some thoughts and look at Pyrrha who nod meanings she accept Rarity’s offer, which he sees going with this may seem like the choice to go.

“Alright, led the way.”

With that everyone began to walk to where Rarity lives which is also fashion shop where she makes some fabulous dresses . As they got there, they started telling each other about themselves like Canterlot High was visited by princess from a all pony kind world a few times and they girls calling themselves the Rainbooms, because there in a band together, even the time at the Friendship Games. Jaune and Pyrrha then tells them about their life in the world of Remnant, fighting monster call Grimm, going to some fight training school to become huntsmen and huntress to help the world as best as they can.

“Golly your life must be pretty tough f you have ta fend off those Grimms and hardly any time for some normal things.” Applejack said in sad for Jaune and Pyrrha going through such life.

“E-even killing those things may seem to be the only case if they don’t really have souls or heart, like fighting an empty shell of monsters.” Fluttershy scared of the thought if those Grimm came destroying her friends and home.

“Don’t worry for what it’s worth; we’ll fight to the bitter end to protect those we hold dear.” Jaune said, trying to cheer them up.

“Yes like those before us, we will fight the Grimm until there is nothing left forever.” Pyrrha said with a strong smile.

“Well enough about all that Grimm and stuff, why don’t get going to the party at Sugarcub Corner where all our wondercolts friends are and here your new winter Pyrrha, hope you find it dazzling.” Rarity said as she handed the coat to Pyrrha.

She puts it on and it was amazing. The coat of crimson red with some green gems, gold for the neck and waist part. Pyrrha spin once and felt the coat was screaming her name.

“It’s beautiful Rarity thank you, hope I repay you for this one day.”

“Oh on darling it’s on the house, anything for a dear friend is more than rewarding.”

While Pyrrha and Rarity were talking, Jaune gaze upon Pyrrha’s as he thinks that she is becomg more beautiful than ever. He check his pocket to see if he still got he’s present and what luck it’s still with as he sign of relief, then Spike the dog came to Jaune and ask.

“What you got there buddy, something for someone?” he asked about the box Jaune is holding in his hand.

Jaune jump a bit still a little surprise that Spike can talk but at the same time, it seems cool.

“It’s a present for Pyrrha, I plan giving it to her and tell her how I feel maybe at the party.”

“Cool good luck with that, I just hope someone I know would have that kind courage to tell him how she feels.” Spike said, looking at Twilight brushing her hair.

“Thanks I think I’ll need some of that luck.”

Everyone was ready and all went to Sugarcub Corner where the party is at, mostly everyone from Canterlot High are there and enjoying the time of their life with their friends all together. As the Rainbooms and Pyrrha were having fun, Jaune was thinking about telling Pyrrha his feelings and an opportunity came to him.

“Hey Jaune, want to do some singing you know to spice things up.” Asked Flash Sentry, wondering if Jaune wound be interested.

Jaune thought what better way to tell the girl you love than by singing his feelings to her, so he gave Flash a nod and took the microphone as he stood up on one of the tables.

Meanwhile with Pyrrha, she's been standing near a food table with a cup of soda in her hand, looking a little trouble in her mind.

"Pyrrha, are you alright?"

Pyrrha turn to see Twilight with a worry look hopping to see what's wrong.

"I'm sorry, guess I have a lot of things in my mind, including how to get back home for that matter." She said, wondering if they'll ever get home at all.

"That I can tell, but I was wondering if it has anything to do with your feelings for Jaune?" Twilight asked, seeing how both of them have blush and knew they have feelings for each other.

"I am like an open book?" Pyrrha wonder, if she is easy to read by others.

"Yeah to be honest, I know what's that like. I have some feelings for a guy I know, Flash Sentry, he a kind and fun guy to be with." She looks over at Flash standing by the counter, talking to his friends. "The girls even my dog Spike told that I should just talk to him and find out if he feels the same, but I'm afraid if he doesn't, since he had a crush on the pony dimension me." She said, feeling a bit sad.

"Then by all means go for it, no pick up lines, no suave moves, just be yourself. I grantee it'll make both your nights." Pyrrha advice Twilight to have confidants in herself.

Twilight didn't say a word for she nodded with a bright smile and walk towards Flash. She got he's attention as they started talking, then both them smile and hug, meaning that Twilight told her love to Flash and he feels the same way.

Pyrrha was proud of her and now she feels like she needs to do the same to Jaune.

“H-hello everyone can I have you attention please.” Jaune asks as everyone look at him wondering what he wants to say. “Well first off are you all having an awesome time this evening?” Everyone cheer loudly for his answer. “Good because their something I like says that as long as know her, she always been a special girl to me and I hope thus song will show her how I feel.”

Pyrrha eyes widen and shock about what Jaune just said.

“(Could he be talking about?)” She thought to herself.

“Hope you like this Pyrrha Nikos!” He said as the music begun to play and Jaune beginning to sing.

Just as Jaune finish singing everyone begun to cheer loudly to the top of their lungs. Amongst them Pyrrha began to cry tears of joy of the wonderful song she just heard and run Jaune. He got down from the table and got hug by Pyrrha surprise of her reaction, then she whisper in his ear.

“I love you too much too, Jaune Arc.” She said softly.

Jaune took it shock that Pyrrha too has feelings for him and return the hug as they stay there for a moment.

“Aaawwww.” Everyone love sign to the newly couple embossing each other, while Pinkie cry the tear down her face literally like a water fall.

The two broke the hug as Jaune brought the present and show it to her, he open it revealing a red ring inside. Pyrrha gasp of the gift he got for her and put the ring on her index finger. Tear came down of both their eyes and the amazing thing happen.

They kiss.

Everyone cheered even louder than before. The kiss those two felt were like fireworks going off all over the planet all at once, they broke the kiss glaring at each other knowing that this was a start of something beyond amazing.

“Alright everyone let’s kick this party up a few notch for the new couple.” Rainbow Dash screams getting everyone to party hard like they never party before.

A few hours have past and some people begun to leave for home to get ready for winter break, some stay to clean up the party before leaving. Jaune and Pyrrha are outside looking up the sky that snows are still falling.

“Best. Night. Ever.” Jaune said, holding Pyrrha in his arms.

“Yes, even though we’ll find trouble of getting back home, I’m glad you’re with me through the end.” She said, holding his hands.

Just when things were getting peaceful. A lightning bolt strike at Jaune and Pyrrha consuming them in a bright light, just like what happen before. The Rainbooms and Spike ran out to see what happen; to see the ground Jaune and Pyrrha were standing on is now burn mark.

“Whoa nelly where are Jaune and Pyrrha and what’s with the lightning all the sudden.” Applejack said worried for her two new friends.

“Hold girls, remember what they said of how they got here; they said they got hit by a lightning bolt and the next thing they know, they appear in front of Canterlot High.” Twiligh said, theorizing of what happen to them.

“Right that means they could probably be in their world as we speak.” Sunset agreeing with Twilight.

“Oh did it have to be so soon, I was really having fun with them.” Pinkie said with a furrowing face and her hair became flat down.

“I wouldn’t worry too much; I believe we’ll see them again with their friends along.” Sunset said, cheering up Pinkie.

Pinkie smile big again and her hair became puffer again, exciting for the day they will see Jaune and Pyrrha with more friends to meet from their world. So with that everyone went to their own home to get ready for the winter break and a cheerful Christmas as well.

(Remnant)

Jaune and Pyrrha look around as the light simmer down seeing that their own the roof of the dorm, meanings their back home on Remnant.

“Were home right back where we left.” Jaune said as he sees everything is as they left.

“I hope we weren’t gone long for our friends to worry about us.” Pyrrha asks if their friends knew they were gone for a bit.

“Hey you two where have you been, did you notice the lightning that just stroke.” A voice yelled.

They turn to see two of their teammates Nora and Ren walking towards them.

“Crazy huh I mean the lightning bolt came in from out of nowhere like no clouds at all, then ‘ZIP’ it hit the roof where you two are standing…?” Nora stop talking as she just notice that Jaune and Pyrrha were wearing some fancy get-up, including the red coat Pyrrha is wearing. “Whoa Pyrrha, where you get the coat it looks like it costs a fortune for something like that.” She asks curiously.

“Oh well you see me and Jaune were” As Pyrrha was about say tell them. Nora steps in.

“You two came here to try confessing your feelings to each other but suddenly the mysterious lightning bolt came down and you both thought that you could have died instead you were sent to other world by/for unknown reason why, then you ended up at a weird but normal school where you two met some nice friends who had some weird and magical adventures of their own. Next you went to one of those friends place which is also a fashion shop where she makes some new clothing, then went to a party enjoying the time of your life as Jaune sang a lovely telling Pyrrha he loves her and seal the deal between you two with a kiss, making two officially boyfriend and girlfriend, then the party was beginning to end as you two outside cuddle each other. Suddenly ‘BAM’ another lightning bolt hit you then the next thing you know back where left safe and sound.” Nora finishes with a big smile.

The three except Ren gasp of what Nora just said like she knew what happen the whole time as they were about ask how she knew all that, Ren stopped them from asking.

“Better not to even asks, Nora has these things she likes to call ‘the Nora sense’ so better to leave it as ‘Nora just being Nora’ ok.” Ren said calmly telling his teammates to not think too much about all this.

Jaune and Pyrrha were still puzzle with Nora but decided to take Ren’s advice and just accept that Nora is just being Nora.

“Right so let’s all go inside it’s getting after all and Pyrrha needs to get ready for her own match.” Jaune suggested.

Everyone nodded and walk back to their room. Jaune and Pyrrha kiss one more time for the night and follow the others, both having the same thoughts of hopefully going to Canterlot High again someday, only the next time they’ll bring their friends to meet the friends like the Rainbooms they met. Until then the two lovers will enjoy life to the fullest and wait for that day to come. Even though they still have no clue about the mystery lightning bolt or why it sent them to that world, they need not to worry because both Jaune and Pyrrha knows that their love is stronger than anything the world can throw whatever they got at them.

The End
