On one faithful day Jaune was solemnly walking in a forest, being careful to not be attacked by the creature of Grimm. While walking he heard a voice, "Hello!" He immediately shrieked like a girl, 'Jaune, it's just me, Pyrrah."Jaune quickly sighed in relief, "Pyrrah, you scared me!" Suddenly he looked a little sad, "But how about if you were one of the creature of Grimm.....What would I have done?" Pyrrah put a hand on his shoulder, "Jaune, i believe in you. You would've defended yourself." Jaune sighed again, "Sometimes I wish I was you... then I would be able to defend myself, and have awesome fighting skills." Pyrrah looked a little shocked, "Really....because sometimes I wish I was you, not having the burden of winning the mistral regional tournament four times in a row, it would be a lot easier." They both shrugged as they walked together, they suddenly came upon this cave.
Jaune slowly walked in as Pyrrah called out, "Jaune! I don't think this is a good idea!" Jaune said, "Come on Pyrrah, it wouldn't hurt to explore." Pyrrah quickly ran in after him, then both of their eyes landed upon this weird object. Jaune asked, "What do you think it is?" Pyrrah warned, "Jaune.... I think we should go now." "Come on Pyrrah, I'm the leader of JNPR, I should know when we're in danger or not." Pyrrah was still skeptical, suddenly Jaune slowly touched the item, and then there was this big flash. "JAUNE!" Pyrrah quickly ran towards him, accidentally also touching the item.
After the flash powered down, Jaune and Pyrrah were still standing there. Jaune looked down at Pyrrah, but his eyes widened. He was looking....... at himself. How was that possible? He brought his own to his face, but it didn't looking like his. He suddenly noticed the weapon he was carrying....this wasn't his, they was Pyrrah's. Then he heard his own voice, "Jaune....I think we switched bodies." Jaune looked down his body, and it did look a lot like Pyrrah's...... AHHH HE SWITCHED BODIES WITH A GIRL!
Jaune panicked, "WHATDOWEDO WHATDOWEDO WHATDOWEDO??!!!" "Jaune come down!" "I'M NOT JAUNE I'M PYRRAH WHAT DO WE DO?!" Pyrrah thought a little, "Didn't we learn about this in class once?" "I don't know, I wasn't paying attention." "Our teacher said, in a mysterious cave, much like this one, then is a certain item which lays in the middle of the cave, much like this one, and if two people who are soulmates touch it, they switch bodies. They only revert back to normal when they both truly understand another." Jaune tried to process what she just said, "So we're.......soulmates?" Pyrrah's eyes suddenly widened when she finally realised what she just said, "U-uh, no time to think about it! Let's just go back to Beacon, and try to act as one another. Maybe then we will finally understand one another." Jaune nodded, then they both walked together to Beacon.
Once they arrived they saw their team mates, Nora and Ren. Nora shouted, "HEY GUYS!!!!!! Gueeswhatguesswhatguesswhatguesswhat?!" Ren sighed, "Nora had coffee again." "OHHHRENYOUJUSTRUINEDTHESURPRISE!" Ren rolled his eyes, Jaune, in Pyrrah's body said, "O-oh cool...." Pyrrah nodded, "Totally..." Ren and Nora looked at the skeptically, then Nora shouted, "I KNOW RIGHT ITS THE BEST. I FEEL SO HYPED!" Ren still looked skeptical why Arkos awkwardly stood there.
Later on at class they were practicing fighting....
The teacher announced, "Alright, next up is....Pyrrah, and Jaune." Oh the irony of this. Jaune meekly put his, or Pyrrah's hand up, "can you choose two different people..?" Everyone was shocked, because this was Pyrrah, THE Pyrrah, and she never backs down from a fight. Pyrrah said, "Yeah, can we fight tomorrow?" This wasn't different because this was Jaune. The teacher sighed, "No. Fight right now, or I will make you both fail this class." The two eye's widened and they quickly grabbed their weapons and got ready to fight. The teacher shouted. "Ok and...START!"
Let's just say THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. Jaune was a total pro, well he looked like it. He dodged all of Pyrrah's attacks, and swiftly attacked, with so much skill. And he was just using a sword and shield. While Pyrrah....oh poor Pyrrah. She kept on getting hit, and she didn't even look like she knew how to fight. And he semblance was out of control, anything metallic was starting to float. After a few minutes, the clear winner was Jaune. Everyone was shocked, even the teacher. Suddenly there was a huge applause.
Everyone was walking back to their rooms, Nora shouted, "JAUNE THAT WAS AMAZING!!!" Pyrrah chuckled, "Hehe thanks." While Jaune was walking, he noticed some people snickering, probably because the lame Jaune beat the amazing Pyrrah. Jaune thought a little, 'maybe this was what Pyrrah meant, when she said she had a burden." On the other hand Pyrrah was being congratulated by everyone, they all looked a little shocked, she thought, 'people look really surprised, maybe this is why he wants to be me...
Ren was already knew what was happening since he laid eyes on them. They switched bodies. Now he just hoped they try and understand each other before it's too late.
Suddenly two girls came out of nowhere walking thorough campus, they called their team BD. Because one of them was called Becca, and the other was called Daisy. Simple as that. Becca asked, "So wanna make Arkos happen?" Daisy smiled, "YASSS!!!" They went up to JNPR's room and knocked. The door was opened by Nora, 'HIIIIII POEPLE I DON'T KNOWWWW!!!!" "I'm Becca, and she's Daisy." Nora nodded, "WHAT BRINGS YOU HEREEE!!!!" Daisy said, "We're here to see them." She pointed to Arkos. They slowly walked up to team BD, and they walked to the roof.
Pyrrah asked, "What do you strangers want?" Becca said, "Pyrrah, no need to be defensive?" Pyrrah said, 'W-what do you mean..... I'm..... Jaune!" "And I'm Pyrrah!" Becca and Daisy rolled their eyes, Daisy said, "You can't fool us, we know a LOT of things..." Pyrrah and Jaune gave up, Jaune asked, "So what do you want?" Becca said, "We want Arkos to happen. For that to happen, we need to you to understand each other so then you can switch back." Pyrrah said, "We already understand each other." Becca said, "Just spend a whole day in each other's shoes, then you'll get what we mean.
It was the next day. Jaune and Pyrrah have been lucky enough that neither of them had to go to the bathroom....yet. As JNPR were walking to class Weiss came up to Pyrrah and said, "Hey Pyrrah! What happened to you yesterday....you lost really badly. And against JAUNE!" Jaune felt a little offended, then Weiss went up to Pyrrah, who was still him, "So uh Jaune.....wanna be partners for the project in class!" Pyrrah was about to say no thank but then Jaune said, "Of course i- I mean Jaune would! Right Jaune...." Pyrrah looked at him and said, "Uh....sure." Weiss evilly smiled to herself as she walked off back to RWBY. Team BD were spying, "Daisy, we wanted Arkos to happen! Not Jaune and Weiss!" "Yeah yeah, I'm getting to it."
As the day went on, people have been treating him badly because of how he, as Pyrrah lost, it was a lot worse than how he gets treated when he was Jaune, because....he didn't have any reputation to uphold, he kinda ruined Pyrrah's. While Pyrrah, people kept on asking how she beat Pyrrah, it showed how people thought of Jaune badly. From a far Team BD were still spying, Daisy said, "You see Becca, They're understanding each other, soon enough Arkos will happen. "YESSSS!"
At the end of the day, on the roof, "Wow Pyrrah..... I didn't know how hard it was to be you..." "Pyrrah looked at him, "Hard it was to be me! How about you! People kept on tripping me!" Jaune chuckled, "Yeah you'll get used to that." Suddenly a light flashed around them, after a few seonds it disappeared. Jaune looked at Pyrrah, he was looking at Pyrrah...HE WAS LOOKING AT HER!!!! "Jaune, we're back to normal!" Jaune quickly hugged her, it took Pyrrah by surprise, but she accepted it. Then they let go, and went back to their room, acting like nothing happened.
Becca asked, "Daisy, you're not gonna make them kiss?" Daisy looked at her, "That would've mad the story cliche. Otherwise I want them to react to something.
In JNPR's room, two voices shouted, "WAIT WE'RE SOUL MATES???!!!"
