Jessica Introduces Jaune to Earth (And Earth Things)
Tacos
Jaune: It’s nice to know food trucks are also a thing on Earth. What are they called again?
Jessica: Carne asada tacos.
Jaune: What does that mean?
Jessica: It basically just means “roasted meat”
Jaune: Alright… How do I eat these?
Jessica: Just fold them, and then you eat them like a hot dog.
Jaune: What’s a hot dog?
Jessica: Oh! Uh, it’s like a- a sausage that’s made from different animals, and then you cook it and put it in a-
Jaune: 🤭 Pfft. Hahaha! I’m sorry, I can’t-
Jessica: … Just eat your tacos. *Jessica tries to hold in her laughter, but can’t* 😄 Hahahahaha!
Jaune: *takes a bite of the taco* Hmm. 
Jessica: So…?
Jaune: 🧐 A little… oily?
Jessica: Here. Try it with all this. *Jessica adds onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime*  
Jaune: *Eats taco again* Ooh.
Jessica: Good right? Here, try these ones. 
*Jessica hands Jaune a different plate of tacos. Jaune eats one.*
Jaune: Mm. It’s chewy-er. What’s in these ones? 
Jessica: These are Tacos de lengua.
Jaune: And what does that mean?
Jessica: *Excited for Jaune’s reaction* 😈 These are made with cow tongue. 
Jaune: 😐… Eh. I’ve eaten weirder.

Jessica: Did you stay up all night watching samurai movies again?
Jaune, crying: Yes.
Jessica: Did he die because he was burdened by the very code he lives for again?
Jaune, voice breaking into a sob: Yes...!
Jessica, hugging him tight and stroking his hair: Wanna watch The Iron Giant?
Jaune, sniffling: Yeah.

On Earth
Jessica: I’m really glad we get to do this. I just… Oh, I can’t believe you’re actually here! That we finally got to meet each other for real, in person!
Jaune: Me too, Jessica. Earth is… so different, but it’s also kind of similar to Remnant in some ways.
Jessica: I know what that’s like. Traveling the galaxy, I get that same feeling whenever I’m on a new planet. 
Jaune: It’s not just that, it’s… I was… in a bad place, both figuratively, and literally. I just think it’s… comforting, knowing that there’s a sense of familiarity.
Jaune found it difficult to open up to his friends about his time in the Ever After. They’d fought side by side through some of the toughest events in recent history for Remnant. But that was just it. It was recent history for Remnant — a lifetime ago for him. 
His lifetime.
He’d spent more time in the Ever After than he had on Remnant. He had his reservations about going to another world again, but seeing other humans - actual people - it put him at ease a bit. 
Jessica takes Jaune’s hand in hers and gives it a firm, but gentle, squeeze. They make eye contact briefly before Jessica looks down somberly.
Jessica: I… know what that’s like, too.
Jaune: Do you want to talk about it?
Jessica: … Maybe another time. Remind me to tell you about something called the Sinestro Corps. But what do you want to do?
Jaune: Well, I am kinda hungry. Maybe you could show me what Earth food is like?
That made Jessica giggle. It’s easy to forget that, to Jaune, Earth is still a completely alien world, even if he is also human.
Jessica: Well, what kind? We’ve got Italian, Mediterranean, Chinese, Indian, Korean Barbecue.
Jaune: Uhh… I didn’t know there were so many options, heh.
Jessica: Earth is a big place. Lotta different cultures and ethnicities with their own foods. So what’ll it be?
Jaune didn’t say anything for a moment. Then an idea came to him.
Jaune: What about yours? I mean, what kind of foods from your culture do you like?
Jessica just smiles, excited to show Jaune what Earth, and now her culture, has to offer
Jessica: Okay, Mexican food it is. C’mon, I wanna know what you think of tacos.

Jessica Introduces Jaune to Earth (And Earth Things)
Jessica: So…? How was it? 🥰
Jaune: Woah. That was… Wow. 🤤
Jessica: So it was good then? You liked it?😏
Jaune: That was probably the greatest experience of my life. 🥰
Jessica: Good, 'cause there’s more where that came from. 😘
2 ½ hours earlier
Jaune: Alright, so what did you want to show me today?
Jessica: Me?
Jaune: You’re the one from here. You’re the… Earth…ian?
Jessica: Earthling.
Jaune: Yeah, that. So what did you want to do?
Jessica: Okay… Well, what’s something on Remnant that you think Earth does differently?
Jaune: Hmm. Do you guys have movies?
Jessica: We have so many movies. What’s your favorite movie? Maybe we have something similar, or in the same sort of vein as it.
Jaune: Ooh! There’s this one franchise that I really liked.
Jessica: What was it about?
Jaune: It was about a cop who had to thwart all these terrorist plots he stumbled onto.
Jessica: *Thinking really hard* …
Jaune: The star is mostly known for a bunch of bad action movies, so you get what you expect.
Jessica: *Thinking harder* 🤨 What other kinds of movies has he done?
Jaune: Uh, well, he did a couple sci-fi movies too. There was a space movie he did about stopping the world from being destroyed by an asteroid. And there was also one where he was sent back in time to stop a new kind of disease from spreading.
Jessica: *Internally* 🤔 No. It can’t be. There’s no way… Is there? Jaune, what was the name of the franchise you were talking about?
Jaune: Try Hard. Again, it’s mostly a mindless action movie, but I really like it.
Jessica: And, out of curiosity, what was the actor’s name?
Jaune: Spruce Willis. Why?
Jessica: 😶
Jessica: Alright, so movie date at my place then?
Jaune: Okay. So is there something similar to Try Hard on Earth?
Jessica: Ohohoho, I have the perfect movie picked out.
Now
Jaune: More? There’s a second one?
Jessica: See for yourself.
Tumblr media
Jaune: You’re not gonna believe this, but on Remnant, the sequel was called Try Hard 2: Try Harder- er.
Jessica: Wait, really? 🤭

What? She was just showing him Die Hard. What did you think was happening in the beginning? Get your minds out of the gutter!

Horchata
Jessica: Okay, so you like tacos?
Jaune: Yeah, I’d say so. What are these drinks?
Jaune picks up a styrofoam cup. He holds it up to his face and shakes it to hear the ice in the drink.
Jessica: This is called “Horchata” and it’s the best! You’ll love it.
Seeing Jessica’s excitement, he eagerly takes a sip through his straw. As soon as the drink hits his tongue, he stops. Speechless, he just looks back at Jessica, who just smiles at his reaction.
Jessica: I know, right? 😊
Jaune: This is so good.😦
Jessica lets out a small giggle before both she and Jaune take sips from their drinks.
Jessica: My parents used to tell me that when I was little, I’d always ask if there was horchata at every family gathering we went to. They didn’t always serve it, but now you can get it at most Mexican restaurants. 
Jaune: What’s in this?
Jessica: I’m not really sure. 🤔 I know they put some cinnamon, but I think I heard one time that it’s made with ground-up rice. I’ll have to find out later.
Jaune: Do you think you can send me the recipe when you do? I think my team will really like this too.
Jessica: Of course. It’s not every day I get to introduce Mexican food to an entire planet that doesn’t know what Mexican food is. 😊
Previously: Tacos
Next: Yippee-Ki-Yay!

1 Iron Giant movie later
Jaune: JesIcA WhY?!
Jessica: *to herself* I knew I would regret showing you movies from Earth. It’s okay.
Jaune: No iT’s NOt!
Jessica: It’s okay. *kisses Jaune’s forehead* How about we watch a classic from everyone on Earth’s childhood?
Jaune *sniffling*: … Okay.
Hall of Justice
Vixen: Yo, Baz, do you know where Jessica and Jaune a-
Simon and Sara (Jessica’s sister) playing Uno
Simon: Hey, what’s up?
Vixen: Uh, team RWBY just called and asked when we were gonna give Jaune back.
Sara: Jess kicked me out of MY OWN APARTMENT so they could have movie night.
Simon: She said she wanted to show him a bunch of Earth movies. Draw 2.
Sara: FUCK!
Vixen: Aww, that’s so sweet 🥰 What movies is she showing him?
Sara: She said today was gonna be Iron Giant and Bambi.
Simon and Vixen: … 😳
Vixen: … Y’know, sometimes I forget that Jess was once a Yellow Lantern, but then moments like these happen, and I remember why.
Jessica: Did you stay up all night watching samurai movies again?
Jaune, crying: Yes.
Jessica: Did he die because he was burdened by the very code he lives for again?
Jaune, voice breaking into a sob: Yes...!
Jessica, hugging him tight and stroking his hair: Wanna watch The Iron Giant?
Jaune, sniffling: Yeah.
