The bright, yellow rays of the sun slowly began peeking their way into the windows of team JNPR's room. Jaune slowly opened his eyes, awoken by the dazzling light, and sat up in bed. Looking around him, he saw Ren and Nora still sound asleep, but Pyrrha gone yet again. Stretching, he slid out of bed and reached for his uniform hanging directly next to his bed, carefully ironed for the day's classes. He stripped off his pajamas and dressed, then promptly left the room to find Pyrrha.

"Good morning, Jaune," said Pyrrha as she heard Jaune ascending to the roof. Her leader emerged from the doorway looking worried, undoubtedly due to the previous night's events. Pyrrha wore a similar uniform to that of Jaune: a dark blue blazer, but with a plaid red skirt and dark stockings. As usual, her bright red hair was tied in a loose ponytail spouting from the upper back of her head.

Jaune offered a hand to Pyrrha, who took it and stood to face Jaune. "I've been thinking about what you said last night," he told her. Clasping his hands over hers, he continued, "Pyrrha, you are the best friend I have at this school. You know all my secrets, and now I know all of yours. And more than my best friend, you are my partner. We are a team, united as one in this crazy hell of a time."

Pyrrha looked up at Jaune and allowed a grin to creep across her face. "You mean you're going to help?"

Jaune, making a slight lean towards Pyrrha, finally let out, "Of course." Pyrrha nearly tackled him with a crushing bear hug, tears running down her face. Jaune, not expecting her sudden action, returned the embrace, wrapping his arms around her.

Pyrrha broke away from the embrace after a few more seconds and wiped the back of her hand across her streaky cheeks. "Thank you, Jaune. You don't know how much this means to me." She quickly leaned in and touched his lips to her own. The pair turned an equally vivid shade of red.

"Come on, Pyrrha," Jaune invited. "Let's go back inside." He led Pyrrha to the stairwell, closing the heavy metal door behind them. Jaune peeked into their room; Nora and Ren were gone, evidently to breakfast in the dining hall based on the fact that both their uniforms were gone from their racks.

"Might as well catch up with everyone," Pyrrha said, placing her hands on her narrow hips.

"I suppose so," Jaune agreed. He took one last look at the room before accompanying Pyrrha to the dining hall to meet with Ren, Nora, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang.
