BenRG, I bloody love your episode idea. "You. Me. Duelling Circle. Now." ''Oh SNAP. ''I've actually been thinking of the significance of the title- the only other character to have an episode named after them was Ruby, which means that Jaune may well be as an important character as Yang, Blake or Weiss. I'd really love to see him being one of the most important aspects to the plot.

Here's my prediction for next episode-

Starts a few days later. To add to Team JNPR and Team RWBY's worry, Jaune has now developed a horrible, grouchy mood and is refusing to eat. He has been constantly worrying about Cardin, and is always seen dodging and diving everywhere in desperation to avoid Team CRDL. His mood has changed because the bullying, predictably, has gotten worse- the team have seen Jaune return to the dormitory with severe nose-bleeds and bruises. During breakfast, he snaps at everyone, and it seems his situation has dampened the spirits of everyone, even Nora, despite her attempts to cheer everyone up. He marches off and spends a few hours alone in his dormitory, as it's a Saturday and it means free time for students. He hears a scream outside the dorm, and quickly opens the door to see Velvet again, sobbing in the hall, as Team CRDL walk down the hall, their backs to them. Jaune quickly comes to Velvet's aid, bringing her into the dorm and trying to calm her down. Both Jaune and Velvet have a heart-to-heart conversation, which gets interrupted by the arrival of Pyrrha, who sees them sitting together and tried to hide her jealousy by quickly grabbing her weapon and leaving. Since Jaune is oblivious to Pyrrha's interest in him, he restarts the conversation with Velvet. Finally, Velvet makes her way to leave, but just before leaving mentions that she would like to see him again. Instantly the next morning, the teams awake to a much happier, joyful Jaune, who is goofing around at the breakfast table to the amusement of everyone except Pyrrha. Even Weiss was managing a smile, but it seems that Pyrrha and Jaune's roles had reversed, and Pyrrha storms off to the confusion of the rest of them. They are also surprised when Jaune abandons them to hang out with Velvet, and they walk out of the food court together, and when they are gone Yang, Ruby and Nora start to gossip avidly, with many "Ooo-ooohs!" and so on. It then cuts back to Jaune and Velvet, who are out in the courtyard talking. Their conversation is interrupted by Team CRDL, as Russel Thrush grabs Velvet's ears and yanks her away from Jaune. Jaune then tries to protect Velvet, shouting insults at him to take the attention away from Velvet. She is swiftly let go of, but there is a black out and the sound of a punch, and it fades away to Jaune, who is wild-eyes and staring at an unconscious Russel. Jaune then takes Velve's hand and they run away from the scene, Team CRDL too busy picking up Russel to chase them before it was too late. They hide behind a corner and Velvet then thanks Jaune for protecting her, and Jaune is rewarded by a kiss on the cheek just as Team RWBY are coming round the corner. When Velvet has skipped off, Yang gets him into a headlock jokingly, and the camera draws back from the five of them, Weiss, Blake and Ruby laughing, to Pyrrha, who was standing further afield. She then runs off with tears in her eyes. Cut to credits, with Velvet's and Jaune's sillouhettes together in mockery of when it was Jaune and Pyrrha's in episode six.

So basically this episode trolls all the PyrrhaxJaune shippers. I still don't know whether I want to ship JaunexVelvet or JaunexPyrrha, but I feel we need to see a more emotional side of both Jaune and Pyrrha, as well as seeing more of Velvet. This also leaves Jaune still needing to sort out his bullying problem, but that can now become a background, or even a season two problem, while much more important stuff is the basis. Maybe Jaune will beat up Cardin in the season finale, I don't know, I just really like this idea of Jaune finding a girl that wasn't famous or anything, and was just like him- seemingly weak and being bullied. And he found her without hitting on her or anything, just brought together by the pain of their bullying. I just thought it seemed so sweet.
