"Ok, I told everyone." Ruby admitted as Zwei barked from his spot between herself and Weiss. Weiss looked up from the dog in the paradise shirt back to her partner. "But come on Weiss," she continued, her voice pleading, "it'll be so much fun if everyone else comes!" She looked back over at the group of future huntsmen and huntresses attempting to make their way through the airport.

"And how am I to be sure of that?" She asked coldly. "Ren is dragging Neptune on the ground, Sun and Jaune are running around with a surfboard and volleyball, Nora is jumping around with a Pirate hat, and Blake looks like she's about to eat someone."

"They're just excited." Ruby smiled, shooing Zwei back into her suitcase.

"Hello again." A voice called from behind Ruby and Weiss. They turned to see Pyrrha walking toward them

"Et tu, Pyrrha?" Weiss asked sadly as Pyrrha came up to her and Ruby. The tall red head looked at Weiss confused and then back to Ruby

"Ruby, didn't you tell her that you invited us?" Pyrrha asked, unaware of how much she tossed her friend under the airship.

"Well, I, um." Ruby stuttered. "Ok I also invited everyone." She said quickly as Weiss' face began to turn pink.

"You did what?" She interrogated, her voice tense. "The reason I'm going on this trip, the reason I didn't invite you, is to get away from … this!" She gestured behind her. Yang was now flirting with a security cop, Blake was staring at a mosaic depicting a giant tropical tuna, and Sun and Neptune were signing autographs for their fangirls.

"But Weiss, we won't bug you!" Ruby insisted. "You'll barely realize we're there."

"Really Ruby?" Weiss doubted. "None of you even have a suitcase."

"What do we need a suitcase for? We always wear the same clothes." Weiss looked down at herself then back to Ruby, trying to figure out the logic behind her statement.

"How about this Weiss," Pyrrha began, "would you rather have us here but potentially out of your way, or have us gone but making it so you want to freeze your scroll?" Weiss paused. Well if you weren't here I could just turn off my scroll. But then again you'd probably all think I've drowned and would have followed me anyway.

"Fine," Weiss said with angry defeat, "but if you are all coming with me then you need to actually follow me. You are all going to get lost and I'm the only one who knows the gate number." Weiss, Ruby, and Pyrrha glanced back at their friends

"No problem Weiss." Pyrrha said with a smile. She then put her fingers between her teeth and let out a shrill whistle, getting everyone's attention. "Fall in!" She commanded, with a dignity that Jaune could only hope to mimic. Everyone trailed back to where the three girls were standing.

"Why did you have to do that, Pyrrha?" Blake complained, rubbing her ears beneath her bow.

"Yeah, I was just about to get that security guard's number." Yang said, crossing her arms over herself.

"Alright everyone, we may be in the airport but we are not on the beach yet." Pyrrha began, pacing in front of her friends like a motherly drill sergeant. "Now go grab your bags and wait until Weiss tells us where we are going."

Everyone looked over to the disgruntled security guard as he stood next to the small mountain of bags and suitcases that was everyone's stuff. Soon the pile was dismantled as everyone grabbed their luggage and filed in behind Weiss as they headed to the proper gate to wait to board.

Once at the gate, they found 10 seats with 5 chairs back to back. Weiss took the seat farthest from the walkway, facing the entryway to get onto the plane. Next came Pyrrha, Jaune, Blake, and Sun. Behind Weiss was Ruby, then Nora, Ren, Yang, and finally Neptune.

"So Weiss," Ruby asked, "How long until we're up in the air?"

"About one and a half hours." Weiss responded calmly, taking out a magazine.

"That long." Ruby squeaked, melting down into her seat.

For a moment, everything was quiet. Yang put her headphones on and started playing music from her scroll. Blake and Pyrrha took out some books. And then the quiet ended.

"I'm bored!" Ruby shouted into Weiss' ear. "Entertain me."

"Ruby!" Weiss called back, then lowering her voice at noticing the faces made by other travelers. "We are at an airport. You should have brought something. If you didn't, you'll just have to entertain yourself." She finished sternly. Ruby only gave her a puppy dog pout. "Ugh," Weiss scoffed breathily, "I swear you are five years old." She turned back around and dramatically opened her magazine again.

"Ren," Nora started, "I'm bored too." She tried to lay her head down on Ren's shoulder until he caught it with his hand.

"You'll find some way to entertain yourself." He responded, not looking at the puppy dog eyes Nora was making. "However if it would not include your weapon making repeated contact with my skull I would greatly appreciate it."

"You did what?" Neptune asked, looking between Nora and Ren.

"I was bored." She answered, as she crossed her arms over herself, thinking that was a good enough answer.

"Assault and theft of pancakes! I don't think we can trust you to come on this trip." Neptune said, standing up.

"Are you sure it was me who stole the pancakes?" Nora responded back, raising an eyebrow. "Because someone would have to be pretty light on their feet to steal them. Perhaps someone who's good on the dance floor."

"So it must have been Jaune!" Neptune quickly said, pointing over to Jaune who was playing on his scroll in an attempt to shift the focus away from himself, a rare occasion for him.

"What! Oh no, not this time." Jaune interjected, standing up. "You might have set me up for appearing to litter but you are not pegging that pancake theft on me!"

"What happened?" Pyrrha asked, looking away from her book.

"Oh, well, you see," Jaune stammered, trying not to embarrass himself.

"That was not a set up." Sun interrupted, taking his partner's side. "You clearly littered."

"Wait, how do you know that?" Jaune questioned, pointing a finger at Sun. "You weren't even there!"

"I have friends who know things." Sun responded.

"You mean more faunus low life?" Weiss snapped, unable to take this bickering any longer. "Why don't you all at least take this somewhere else so you can stop bothering the rest of us."

"Who said he was bothering anyone?" Blake asked calmly but stern. "And I thought we were all over that, Weiss?" Weiss' eyes got wide, realizing what she had said in her moment of annoyance.

"Blake, I'm sure she didn't–" Ruby attempted to mediate, but was interrupted by Sun and Neptune.

"Either way, Nora still shouldn't be allowed to board the plane!" Sun shouted.

"Not without confiscating her weapon." Neptune added, attempting to reach for Magnhild.

"Um, Neptune, we all have weapons." Pyrrha attempted to correct him before Nora went off. Unfortunately, the fuse had been lit far too long ago to be stamped out now. Nora lunged at Neptune, eventually drawing in all 10 training hunters and huntresses into a cartoonish cloud of mayhem.

"Hey! Give me my book back!"

"That's not rope Neptune! That's my tail!"

"Ow! Who just bit me?"

"Zwei! Get back in the bag!"

"You're ruining my vacation!"

A shrill whistle caused the motley crew to freeze in place. They all stared at the old security guard, his head shaking in annoyance. They quickly returned to their seats and previous activities. Ruby and Nora decided to play miniature floor hockey with a crumpled paper ball. And it was quiet again, the only sound being an announcement coming over the speakers.

"Attention flyers," the voice said, "we want to be sure that everyone's flying experience is a safe one. So if you notice any suspicious bags or personnel while in the airport, please notify the nearest security guard. Also, for your safety, do not carry or accept to watch over anyone's luggage you do not know. Thank you and safe travels."

"You know Sun." Neptune said. "I feel like I've seen some pretty suspicious characters. How about you?"

"I agree. Like what about that that man who just came by."

"The security guard?" Neptune questioned, confused at where Sun was going with this.

"Are we sure he's a security guard?" Sun asked, thinking back to when they had all first arrived.

"Well, I suppose not sure." Neptune responded. "He does look a lot like that man we bought our bikes and upgrades from."

"And the Simple Wok noodles place."

"And the From Dust to Dawn store."

"You know what." Sun said, putting his knuckle to his chin, contemplating. "I don't think he's who he says he is."

"I have to agree." Neptune said, fully onboard with what Sun was suggesting. "You know what this calls for."

"Junior Detectives!" They announced simultaneously as they whipped out their mustaches.

"I'd say we need to do a little investigating, right, partner?" Neptune asked.

"Way ahead of you." Sun responded. Blake and Weiss both rolled their eyes as the two idiots headed back toward the front of the airport.

"Watcha reading? Yang asked, leaning over Blake.

"Um." Blake said closing her book and looking up at Yang above her.

"Were you gonna say notes from this semester?"

"Yang, we don't have notes for this semester." She responded, not in the mood for Yang's teasing.

"So why are you studying it so hard?" Yang smirked. "I mean, I know how much you like Katana blades, but we are in a public place."

"Yang." Blake warned through gritted teeth. "I am not in the mood."

"Of course you're not!" Yang agreed with a smile. "We'd need some candles, music, and privacy." She finished with a wink.

"Uh, Blake?" Pyrrha drew out.

"For you and the safety of others, don't ask." Blake responded, switching out her book.

"Don't worry, Pyrrha. I'll tell you when you're older." Yang said, putting her headphones back on.

"But we're the same age." Pyrrha replied, confused.

"Attention: Gate E, departing for Haremashita Bīchi, is now ready to board." The gentleman at the gate said over the speakers. "Will all first class and our executive flyers please come forward." Weiss began to stand until someone grasped her wrist.

"Weiss, wait," Ruby began, "Sun and Neptune aren't back. You can't leave without them."

"Ruby they'll be fine." Weiss said as she released herself. "And besides unless you managed to use my account to buy all of your tickets I don't think you're boarding with me."

"Well, actually…" Ruby began until the speaker interrupted her.

"Pardon the interruption, could the Schnee party come forward?" Weiss sighed as she went up to the front desk.

"Hello Ms. Schnee. Is all of your party with you? We are ready to have you board." The gentleman said with a smile.

"Well…" She began.

"What happened to you two?" Weiss turned around to see Sun and Neptune with fresh bandages and bruises on their arms and head.

"Junior detective work miss." Sun responded coolly to Yang, his mustache falling off his face. "But you can rest assured that the security guards here are in fact who they say they are." He said with a weak smile.

"Can we get on the plane now?" Ruby asked from her position on the floor. Weiss turned back to the gentleman.

"Yes." She said. "And you don't by chance have any earplugs, do you?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry miss but we do not."

"Alright." Weiss said, trying to keep her smile. She turned around to grab her bag, looking at the motley crew she was going to be spending the next eight hours with, and no way to escape. "This is going to be a long flight." Weiss groaned, having hoped to get some beauty sleep on the way.
