'Myosotis' ch. 6 'My Dearest Friend'

"So your heading back to mistral?" Asked Nora hugging her teammate Pyrrha.

"Just for a little while Nora, it will be alright!" Pyrrha said trying to fight out of the valkyries vice grip as Ren came and pried Nora off her.

"But..but what will fearless leader do he'll be all alone until we all come back!" Nora complained and Pyrrha laughed.

"I'm sure Jaune will be fine" she said before looking out the window of the dorm room too see Jaune chasing Ruby around the main grounds, both were laughing and enjoying themselves.

"So when do you head out?" Asked Ren having now restrained his girlfriend in a hug as Pyrrha teared her gaze from the window back to Ren.

"Tonight" was all she said before resuming her packing.

Ren looked at her for a minute before tugging Nora away to let the invincible girl to her devices and closed the door.

As the door closed Pyrrha let out a large sigh and looked out the window once more; Jaune and Ruby, no longer chasing each other, both on the grass laying down. Ruby with her head nestled in the crook of Jaunes neck. Both holding each other hands, eyes closed and with a smile on their face.

A sad smile made it's way to Pyrrha face.

*couple hours later*

"L-l-et go Nora!" Laughed Pyrrha as Nora hugged the girl in a constrictor grip "it's just for a couple months!" She told her which only made Nora squeeze more.

" Nora let's go, we're gonna miss our flight" Ren stated and Nora just pouted before reluctantly letting go, which in turn made Pyrrha gasp a bit for air.

"You'll call and text me until we all get back together?" Nora said and Pyrrha nodded before looking around not seeing Jaune anywhere.

" You've seen Jaune anywhere?" Pyrrha asked and Ren and Nora shook their heads.

"The dolt from your team was saying goodbye to the dolt on our team. Ruby, Yang and Blake are going back to Patch for break" Came the voice of Weiss as she walked by with her tremendous luggage. She was heading back to Atlas to spend time with her family. Pyrrha down trodden just gave an "oh".

*Beep Beep*

That was Pyrrha scroll going off as she looked down and it indicated her transportation to a bullhead was ready.

"We'll thats my call, I'll keep in touch with you every day" She said as he picked up her luggage and waved to the other two members of her team, Nora waving enthusiastically with tears in her eyes.

The walk through the halls to Beacons gate was long and silent. A lot of thoughts to process.

She kept remembering how happy Ruby looked as Jaune and her ran around the court yard. How happy Jaune looked too. He had that smile on his face like he was the happiest man on earth. That same smile when...he was with her.

"We Loved Once and True"

Pyrrha said as she reached the gates of Beacon looking at the car that was waiting their for her. A butler was outside holding the passenger door open.

"Hello Ms. Nikos it's so wonderful to see you again, your mother and father are greatly waiting to see you" spoke the butler warmly and Pyrrha smiled.

"Its good to see you Mr. Clarence" she said as she gave him a hug before he took her stuff to which he began loading up the trunk.

"Come we must depart now if we are to make our way to the port in time" he said closing the trunk and Pyrrha sighed before looking back to the gates and at Beacon.

She started entering the backseat and was about to close the door-

"Hey!"

A voice rang out which caught Pyrrha attention as she looked back st the location of the voice.

Their stood Jaune Arc. A smile on his face as he stood at the gates of Beacon.

"Thought you could just leave without saying goodbye?"

Pyrrha smiled and got out the car before running up to Jaune tackling him into a hug.

"Hello Mr. Arc good to see you again" said Mr. Clarence with a nod to which Jaune nodded in return.

"Good to see you to old friend" he said before turning back to the girl hugging him.

"So heading off to home huh? Tell the folks I said hello for me okay?" He said to her and Pyrrha just nodded.

"What about you? gonna be okay here by yourself Jaune, I thought Ruby would stay with you?" Pyrrha asked letting go of the hug and Jaune laughed.

"Nope! I told her to go spend time with her family, she was very adamant at first to staying with me" He chuckled remembering his fiance puffed up face ; arms crossed at him for telling her to go visit her family for the break.

"But...i told her that; her mother just came back into her life after so long that she should be spending as much time with her as possible and with a little kisses she agreed" he spoke ending in a cough.

"Getting sick?" Pyrrha joked to which Jaune waved his hand at her.

"I'll live"

"You didn't answer my question" Pyrrha said to Jaune to which he 'hmmm' a bit " I'll be fine, Ruby said she'd call me every day; same with Nora, we can all group call and chat every day until break ends!" Jaune said to which Pyrrha nodded.

"Miss Nikos we have to leave, sorry Mr. Arc" said the butler and Jaune laughed.

"Better get going"

And Pyrrha sighed before walking back to the car but looked back hesitantly at Jaune.

"Jaune...I.....Thank you" she said to him and Jaune looked at her in confusion.

"For what?"

"Everything...I know I wasn't the best girlfriend but-" She started but Jaune raised his hand and stopped her.

"Listen Pyr we may not have worked out but it's the past I don't hold no ill will to you" he said before pointing at her

"You are one of my dearest friends in the world and ain't nothing gonna change that" He said with a big smile and Pyrrha eyes glistened as he walked up to her before stretching out his fist.

Pyrrha smiled back and met his fist half way.

"Enjoy your time with your family Pyr I'll be here when ya get back Arc Promise!" He said putting his right hand to his heart.

"we all, team RWBY and JNPR will have one big family reunion!" He said enthusiastically as she laughed and nodded before getting into the backseat and closing the door.

The cars engine came to life and Pyrrha looked at Jaune from the window, his smile still present as he began waving at her.

She waved back as the car moved forward distancing herself from Jaune until he was little more the a dot.

" Don't worry Miss Niko it's just a 2 month break you'll see him again" Mr. Clarence chuckled and Pyrrha smiled.

Yes.

He was her dearest friend too.

They would all enjoy their last year at Beacon together; RWBY & JNPR.

"Pyrrha?...Pyrrha!"

*Real world: Mistral at the Nikos Estate present time*

Pyrrha snapped out of her trance and looked around to see the concerned faces of her mother and father.

"Sorry sorry I was just remembering something was all" still the concerned was present as her mother came up to her and gently touched her cheek.

"Sweetie...your crying" she stated to Pyrrha shock as she touched her other cheek and true to her statement tear we're present.

"Forgive me..I..-" "Its okay Pyrrha" said her father warmly and Pyrrha eyes began to water again before sobs escaped her her mother and father hugged her as they tried to help console their daughter.

"He-he-he" Pyrrha hiccuped as she just continued to cry and her parents just continued hugging her. Even after a full year. Their daughter was still hurting. Finally after a few minutes their daughter had calmed down.

"Thanks mom...dad" she mumbled as she separated herself from them. Wiping the tears from her eyes. Her parents just smiled at her before they here the beeping of a scroll. It was Pyrrhas.

She looked at it.

Yang Xiao Long was calling.

"Y-yang? This is a bit sudden whats-" Pyrrha went silent as she listened to Yang. "Okay I'll be their as quick as I can" she hung up before getting up from her seat. Her parents looked at her in confusion.

"Ruby might be introuble" "Miss rose? You mean Mr. Arc's fiance?"her parents asked and Pyrrha nodded.

"I'm off to Beacon to go help find her" she said in a tone that left no room for negotiations.

Her parents smiled and nodded.

"Take our private bullhead we will have Mr. Clarence take you" They said and Pyrrha hugged her parents thanking them for understanding and ran out the room to get ready.

The image of Ruby and Jaune resting together peacefully in the courtyard came back to mind.

She wouldn't fail Ruby this time.

She wouldn't fail her best friend again.

"Hold on Ruby please"

Back to Ruby from here on out.
