This is giving me such heavy Joan/Coco vibes with Joan being the Christine and Coco hamming it up as the Phantom. Would definitely like to see a little story of them performing this on stage in front of the school (which thinking about it, it'd be ironic if Joan has an exponentially better singing voice after transitioning compared to her male form). Sorry for the rant
(A/N - I'm not sure what "story/series" this was suggested for... so here's a stand alone. Hope you enjoy! I couldn't use the above version so I found it on YouTube.)
Jaune was fresh off another failed attempt at trying to woe Weiss, but this attempt was the most desperate and humiliating. A romantic serenade was... according to his father a shoe-in to win a lady's heart. Only one problem... Jaune couldn't play a guitar nor sing his way out of a wet paper-bag.
Jaune: Why do I even try?
Jaune wandered out to the courtyard, his newly purchased cheap guitar dragging on the ground. Turning to his right he made his way along the edge of Beacon towards the cliffs overlooking the Emerald Forest. Walking right past and underneath the third floor chemistry and dust lab.
In side the lab Russel and Dove considered what to do with the goop they had created and been told firmly by Doctor Oobleck to dispose of.
Dr. Oobleck: This is a mockery and desecration of Chemical Dust theory and practice! Dispose of it and try again... AND FOLLOW THE EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS!
With the Doctor's words ringing in their ears the pair of despondent young huntsmen-in-training considered their disposal options. They of course chose the open window. The window Jaune was currently just walking past. The sludge like neon pinkish green goo was tossed out the window... and coated the unsuspecting and depressed Jaune from head to toe.
Ethereal Voice of Mama Arc: Language Jaune!
Jaune: Blech! It go in my mouth! Yuck! Gross!
High above on the third floor Russel and Dove return to their course work, totally ignorant of what they had just done... and let's be honest if they did see Jaune currently coated in their creation... they would laugh about it.
Jaune: I guess I'll go take a shower.
Thirty minutes later, Coco Adel the fashionista of Beacon was walking the corridor's of Beacon totally engrossed in how and who she was going to rope into performing with her at the upcoming... meaning tonight's Beacon Talent Show. I high pitched shriek of terror echoed through all of Beacon causing Coco to chamber her handbag and charge forward.
Coco: That came from the communal showers!
Coco closed the distance rapidly, and was just in time to see a utter sexpot of a long haired blond racing from the men's locker, wrapped in a massive fluffy towel. Her enchanting face a mask of utter terror, shock and confusion.
Jaune: What the fuck? How in the fuck?
Ethereal Voice of Mama Arc: Language Jaune!
Coco skidded to a stop, her heart suddenly beating rapidly not from exertion, but attraction.
Jaune: Why? Why? How? How in the f... fudge?
Coco returned her hand bag to her shoulder and sauntered forward an amorous smile on her face.
Jaune: Ah! Coco? Coco! you have to help me!
Coco: How can I help you my darling enchantress? Anything with in my abilities is yours... especially me.
Coco: You'll catch a cold if you stand about here in just a towel. Come with me, I'll get you something perfect to wear!
Forty minutes later found the newly feminine Jaune dressed too the nines in an elegant, and very stylish golden bronze evening style gown with four inch kitten heels, a plunging neck line and an open back.
Coco: Gods I want to have your babies!
Coco: Come on we have to show you off. Let's go, the talent show starts soon, and you're going to be the star of the show!
Jaune: Wait! Talent show? I can't...
Coco: Of course you can babe. Oh, I should have asked this earlier, before the whole stripping and dressing you... what's your name my sweetest angel?
Jaune: Er... it's... Jaune?
Coco: Huh. Strange name for a beauty like you, but parent's can be weird with names. Though I know I've heard that name before.
Latching onto Jaune's wrist Coco proceeded to haul the reluctant Jaune off and towards the auditorium. Twenty minutes later, Jaune near on having a complete panic attack was waiting in the wings, to step on stage with Coco who was now decked out in a very revealing version of the Phantom of the Opera's costume.
Jaune: I can't do this. I can't sing... you have to let me go and find someone like Doctor Oobleck!
Coco: I don't get why, but after we perform, I'll help you find anyone or anything you want my sweet-pea.
Jaune: Coco I'm not... EEP!
The crowd murmured as Coco dragged Jaune onto the stage. No one knew who the blond angel was, but they all thought they could see a resemblance with a very well known goofy blond leader.
Jaune: I can't sing, Coco. We're going to be completely embarrassed!
Coco didn't react, as she began to dramatically move about Jaune in a rather overly and comically sexual-ish way. Jaune for his/her part was rooted to the stage. As the first notes of the music filtered through the sound system, Jaune closed his/her eyes and holding back tears of fear opened her mouth. She had no recourse, and hoped if her voice murdered Coco's musical choice she would be able to actually try and get help to revert back...
The auditorium fell completely silent. Coco froze in mid motion as the melodic voice of a heavenly host filled the air. No one bared breath. Jaune in utter shock at what he/she was doing stumbled for a second over the lyrics but easily caught his/herself. The music flowed through her. The power of her own voice spurring her on.
The standing ovation upon the completion of the song, broke Jaune and as Coco held her tightly, the crowd continued to applaud and cheer for an encore.
/==/ Five Years Later /==/
Coco: ... and that's how I found my soul mate, and my love learned she was meant for more than being a huntsmen... or rather a huntress.
Jade Adel-Arc (adopted 13 year old daughter): So mom used to be... a guy? That seems rather... improbable?
Coco: Yes, but don't try and think about it too much. J(a)une is much happier now, and so am I.
Jade: Is that why I find Grandpa-Arc crying sometimes?
Coco: unfortunately yes, honey. He's still has some stuff to work out.
Jade: Can we go for ice-cream after the show?
Coco: Of course sweetie. Now let's enjoy your mom's show.
Jade cuddled into her mom's side as her pirate costumed Mother stepped out onto the stage to thunderous applause.
