Third pov

Y/n was walking through the red forest of Forever Falls near sundown.

Y/n: This forest is amazing, red leaves, red grass, and a red sky.

Reaching a cliff over looking the blue sea.

Y/n: Wowww...

Back at Beacon Academy, inside team JNPR room. Nora was jumping on her bed, Ren was cleaning his guns, and Pyrrha was sitting near the window, worried about Jaune.

Nora: Why does Jaune always come home late?

Ren: He's become rather scared ever since he startd hanging out with Cardin.

Nora: That's weird... Doesn't he know we have a field trip tomorrow. *spinning on to her back* we need are REST!

Pyrrha: Am sure are leader know exactly what he's doing.

Ren and Nora both looked at each other with a look of uncertainty.

Nora: Yeah I guess so.

Pyrrha: Am going to take a shower.

Time skip

The group stops, and Jaune, grunting and carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, tries to catch up with them and ends up bumping into Cardin. The bully scowls at Jaune, who attempts to feign innocence by whistling tunelessly.

Glynda: *still instructing her group, holding up a full jar of their objective* Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here by 4 o'clock. Have fun!"

While Yang and Ruby smile at one another, Jaune attempts to sneak away from Cardin to his team, but Cardin sees this and grabs Jaune by the back.

Cardin: Come on, buddy - let's go!

Jaune miserably looks up at his team, where Nora and Ren are already walking into the forest's depths and Pyrrha is staring sadly at the scene. Dropping his gaze, Jaune turns and follows CRDL, to the disappointment of a sighing Pyrrha before she continues on.

Time skip

Team CRDL is making themselves as comfortable as possible by leaning on stones, trees, and the ground while Jaune returns to the group with six full jars, setting them down just as he collapses face-down. The surrounding team gets up in response.

Cardin: Hey, great work, Jauney boy! Now that wasn't too hard, was it?

Jaune: *still on the ground, cross-eyed and sounding dizzy* I think I'm allergic to this stuff...

Cardin: Greeeeat, great, great. So, Jaune, I bet you're asking yourself, Why did my buddy Cardin ask me to collect six jars of tree sap when there's only five of us?

Jaune: *nodding, still exhausted* That is one of the many questions I have asked myself today, yes.

Cardin: *as Jaune sits up* Well, come with me, and you'll find out.

Jaune goans and gulps in worry.

Time skip

Now perched on a hilltop overlooking the other students, team CRDL - plus Jaune, squeezed between Cardin and his team - peak their heads over the crest and watch as everyone is retrieving their samples of sap. Ren, kneeling to collect it from a tree, passes a full jar to Nora, who Mmmm's at the gift as Ren trades it for the other jar in her care. He turns back to the tree and starts filling it up while several licking sounds are heard off-screen until the camera pans back to Nora, now with an embarrassed smile covered in red and an empty jar in her hands.

Jaune: *turning to his left* Cardin, wh-what's going on?

Cardin: *staring at the unsuspecting group sharply* Payback.

Jaune: *widens his eyes in understanding* Pyrrha*watches her gather more sap from a tree* Wh-what are you-?

Cardin: That's the guy. Black-haired know-it-all, thinks he's so smart. Alright, boys... *pulls out a buzzing cardboard box with a large "W" written on its sides* Last night, old Jaune here managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, we're gonna put them to work.

Russel grabs Jaune by the shoulder, who barely laughs in nervousness.

Cardin: Now, according to one of the essays you wrote for me last week, these nasty things loooove sweets. I'm thinking it's time we teach him a thing or two.

The members of CRDL get up. Cardin offers his hand to Jaune, only to painfully yank him up on his feet and shove the jar into his grasp.

Cardin: And you're gonna do it.

Jaune: Do what?

Cardin: Hit her with the sap! Either that, or I'll have a chat with Goodwitch, and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon.

Jaune looks down at the jar of sap in his hands and then up at the four grinning teammates waiting to see what happens. Jaune turns towards the group and aims his throw at Pyrrha, trying to steel his nerves and shaking hand to do the deed, but ultimately steels himself for what he's about to do...
