The serene green of the forest did not match the mood. Aero was running. Howling in the distance spurred him to run faster, the thunderous pounding was gaining, getting louder and louder as he kept going. The growling alerted him just before a dark shape flew into his path, a lone wolf with his teeth bared and the growling continuing. Aero turned and kept running, keeping away from it. Suddenly he stumbled on a root and fell, sliding across the ground. He turned just as the wolf jumped at him and latched onto his arm. Aero screamed as the pain shot through him.

Aero shot up, gasping, sweat dripping from his face as he looked around and realized it was a dropped back down to the seat of the Bullhead that was currently taking him and other first years to Beacon. He shut my eyes, attempting to slow his racing heartbeat. "It was just a nightmare Aero. Only a nightmare." He told himself firmly.

"Hey!" he heard. he open his eyes, seeing a girl in red coming towards him, being dragged by a taller girl in yellow. noticing her attire, he quickly avert his eyes from anywhere dangerous. Instead he opted to raise an eyebrow at them, and pointed at himself. "Me?" He questioned, wary of why they were singling him out. The blond flashed a smile, and looked him up and down. Aero swore he heard her purr. "I'll take that as a yes." He muttered before they got close enough to hear him. "Hello" he greeted them as the got to him. "You okay?" the girl in red piped up, curiosity and concern clear as day on her face. "hmm?" I wondered, then realized the sweat from the nightmare was still there. "Oh yeah I'm fine. Just a nightmare is all." Aero explained, as he wiped off the sweat.

"The name's Aero by the way." He said, 'At least be polite' He thought to himself, amused. "Like with the bow?" the one in red said, confused. Aero couldn't help but chuckle. "Nope. definitely better then a bow. Its more of an "airy" thing you know?" Grinning mischeviously, Aero watched as the one in yellow busted out laughing at his lame attempt of a pun. The little red one sighed. "Didn't catch either of your names." Aero reminded them lightly. Since the yellow one was still laughing, tears running down her face, the red one decided to introduce both. "Sorry, that one is my older sister, Yang. I'm Ruby and i drink milk!" She declared proudly, then her face turned as red as her namesake as she realized at what she said. Before she could run or do anything, Aero patted her head and smiled. "Good. Keep it up, and you will be a strong Huntress. Which I'm sure you already considering how young you look." 'Good going, she's happy about the comment at least' Aero thought to himself, smiling back at the beaming girl.

Suddenly a flash of yellow, and Aero blinked, not expecting Yang to get into his face, then a split second later realized it was her fist coming at his face. Instincts flared and he grabbed the fist coming him, pulling it down and past him. That's where he stopped her at, not even registering the fact that put him and Yang closer then he ever had been with anyone. Staring dead into her red eyes. "So, care to give a hint why you try attacking me?" His tone had a steel edge in it, almost a warning. "Trying to flirt with my sister is not the best way to go bud." She all but spat at Aero, who blinked again and laughed, in her face.
Big mistake. The arm that was still being held, was wrenched out of his grasp, the gauntlet scraping up and cutting his palm, and smashed into his face. Shotgun shell and all. Aero just stood there, a broken jaw and messed up face, still mid laugh. Slowly he reached up ad wrenched his jaw back into place, making both Yang and Ruby cringe at the snap it made. then the holes that the shotgun shells shouldnt have pierced quickly healed, the skin was brand new. "If that's your way of showing people that an already underage girl is off limits, you may as well hit them in the heart. " Aero said, still smiling.
"... Dude that was so metal." Aero heard people behind him whisper. His smile slowly disappeared and a very heavy sigh rumbled out of his chest. "So much for making friends in this place." Aero mumbled, before walking off away from Yang and Ruby. People parted a way out of the crowd that had started to surround the two in their altercation. He meandered, not really having anywhere in mind, just glum in his inability to make friends. Finally sitting down in what was pretty much the back of the Bullhead. Closing his eyes, he lets out another heavy sigh. Having been away from civilization for most of his life, it's no wonder he wasn't good at interacting and easily getting into fights. Opening his eyes, what he wasn't expecting was a pair of silver eyes boring into his. He most definitely didn't yelp. Nope, totally didn't.
He glared at the giggling girl in front of him. Then his expression softened. "I'm sorry for what happened with Yang. I'm not good with the whole making friends thing." Aero said sincerely. She stopped and looked behind her, He looked up and realized she was right there. 'Looks almost like an angel.' He thought to himself, then cut off the thought not wanting to go down that path. Temptation will not hold. He snapped back to reality when Yang walked up to him and stared into his eyes. He felt the temptation come back again, stronger then it ever was with any other girl. Yang wasn't like the others though. She was innocent unlike the others that had chased him for either money or more... adult things. He shook his head and focused, just in time as she started to talk to him. "Hey... I'm sorry for that, all I saw was the way you were looking at Ruby and I kind of freaked..." She trailed off. "It's fine Yang." Aero said, flashing her a smile. It must of been that goofy smirk he sometimes does, cause she started giggling again. Suddenly they heard a dry heave, turned and saw another blond run past them to the trashcan nearby. "Guess some people have it worse then others." Aero remarked. Both girls nodded and shuffled closer to him and away from the vomiting boy.
After Glynda Goodwitch disappeared, Aero was taken in surprise of the view of Vale. "Wow I knew Vale was awesome but this is insane." He said excited, not caring if he broke whatever cool guy facade that some people had of him. he ran to the window, and stared wonderingly at the view. "This place looks better the Mistral does." He declared. A laugh from his other side caused him to turn, and see a red haired beauty who looked like she was from the Amazon. His eyes widen and a grin broke out. "Pyrrha!" She turned in surprise, at hearing an old familiar voice and seeing him wave at her as he ran to her and practically tackled her. "Its been so long!" He laughed openly with relief, and happiness. Pyrrha laughed again, and hugged him back. "It has been a while. Almost 13 years now isn't it?" she said serenely. Aero and Pyrrha were childhood friends before Aero was taken away by scientists who were collecting children who were suppose to become Hunters and didnt pass a test that was used at the start of their birth.

Aero pulled back and gave her a once over. "Man I heard people gushing over you everywhere but that doesn't tell me half of what I'm seeing! I can see why guys are falling over you." Aero laughed at Pyrrha's red face. "We have a lot to catch up on." Aero finally noticed the fuming, shorter girl in white. "Later, first introduce me to your frosty friend over here." Aero said, smiling at her. she "hmmphed" and turned away from him. "Of course." Pyrrha's face showed her distaste at having the girl be called her friend. "This is Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Co." Weiss glared at Aero, but before she could try to threaten him with anything, he grinned, looked at Yang and said "Well it looks like Schnee needs to cool off." and Yang almost died. She fell to the floor laughing her ass off. If Weiss was steaming before, she was practically burning now with anger. "Pyrrha!" Weiss said sharply. Aero simply turned to avoid Milo from pinning him to the wall, and easily grabbing it from the air and returned it to Pyrrha, bowing. "I believe this is yours?" He said courteously. Pyrrha grinned back, and curtsied. "Thank you, dear Aero." Her eyes sparkling.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking and boy do I have some news for you. We will be arriving at Beacon Academy in a couple minutes so please sit down, and enjoy the rest of the trip." The pilot's voice boomed over the P.A. system. Everyone shuffled to a seat, Aero was set between Pyrrha and Yang. He reached up absentmindedly to the handle that was used to hold them when they land. He felt something different then the handle, he looked to his left (left handed pwns) and saw Yang look at him at the same time. he looked up and realized his hand was over Yang, turned redder then Ruby's cape, and switched to the other handle on his right side, not able to look Yang in the face, and didnt see Yang's face turn red as well. Ruby did though, and nudged Yang whispering "you've got a crush." grinning at her.

Aero couldn't help but be awed and excited at seeing Beacon. He wasted no time urging Yang and Ruby to hurry, as they got to the front of Beacon. When Yang made a non-committal grunt, he practically dragged her along with Ruby off the Bullhead to the gates before stopping and all of their mouths dropped at the beautiful sight. "Dude I may just stay at the fountain, this is tight." Aero remarked. "Screw that I want to see what the gym offers!" Yang yelled, running forward, now literally dragging Aero by the hand. It didn't take Aero long to get his footing back and running with her laughing. Ruby ran around them, excited and giggling at the two who looked almost like high school lovers, running with their hands like that. Suddenly Ruby collide with something, knocking the wind out of her as she fell, while a bunch of luggage did too. "What are you doing?!" was all she heard as she sat up, still dazed and saw a girl in a white combat skirt and pure white hair. "Oh uhh sorryyy!" Ruby almost wailed. "Sorry? do you have any idea of the damage you could have cause!" Aero noticed this and let go of Yang's hand to help Ruby up, heard the end and decided to butt it. "Excuse me princess, she's just a little bit clumsy. You'll have to forg-" The girl in white interrupted him, fuming. "Princess?! I'll have you know I am Weiss Schnee of the Schnee Dust Corporation!" As she blabbed on and on about Dust and such, Aero leaned over to Ruby and whispered "Man I wonder what she's got stuck up her nose." Poor Ruby couldn't help but snort, which got Weiss attention and she started to yell at her again about the damage she caused and swinging around one of the Dust containers, which was leaking. Aero was just wondering what other way it could be ignited when he suddenly heard a sneeze and a huge explosion next to him. He looked over and was shocked to see a hole next to him. "Ruby?!" Aero called, almost panicking that Yang was going to kill him if her sister blew up on his watch. A squeak answered him. Aero sighed in relief and slid in the hole, to see both Weiss and RUby covered in soot, Weiss still in the postion of shaking the container, now empty, before she realized what happened. She stomped off, before leaving RUby and Aero to look at each other. Aero couldn't keep a straight face and busted out laughing at Ruby's expression of shock, before offering his hand. Ruby pouted but still took his offered hand. "Jerk." She said. "I couldn't help it Ruby, that was awesome!" Aero replied, tears still streaking down his face. "Hey guys!" a random voice said behind them, they turned just to see a guy wearing a hoodie and jeans slip and roll past them, slamming into the other side. Both Ruby and Aero looked at each other before busting out laughing again. Ruby walked over to the guy, and offered her hand as Aero did. The guy took her hand sheepishly. Aero suddenly recognized him. "Hey you're the one who threw up on the ship!" Aero said before slapping a hand over his mouth, metally cursing himself. "Yeah that's me." He said, visibly slouching before standing up straight and smiling. "THe name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it!" Jaune proclaimed confidently. Ruby snorted. "Do they really?" She asked. "W-well they will." He stuttered. Aero smiled. More socially awkward people. Sweet! Aero thought. Aero then realized its been a while that they've been here. "Come on guys we gotta get follow the students!" Aero yelled before climbing back up the slope. Jaune and Ruby realized what he was talking about and scurried after Aero.
