Author's Note: Since I did not have time this week to post something for my other story and I had a few of these nearly finished on my computer, I decided it might be a good time to post one.

This is just an experiment for filling in gaps between scenes. Some of these scenes may involve fan theories and other may verge on novelization. If you have any scenes you would like to see, I am open to suggestions. However, I doubt I will update this very often since my other story will usually take priority if I am not too busy.

Thanks for reading.

Unseen Scenes:
Accepted into Beacon
Takes place during Vol.1 Ch.1

Yang paced up and down the police station hall. Ruby was only in the dust shop 20 minutes while Yang collected the papers their father needed from his office at Signal. 20 minutes? How had Ruby gotten in trouble in 20 minutes?

When Yang left the shop, Ruby was happily settled in the corner reading weapons magazines. When Yang tried to return, she found the area cordoned off by a flock of police officers. At first, she had panicked, worried about her baby sister's safety, but one of the officers assured her Ruby was safe at the nearest police station.

That was an hour ago. So much for the quick trip to collect her dad's forgotten papers with her little sis tagging along.

The interview room door opened. Finally. A stern woman exited. Since Yang did not recognize her, she quickly shifted her attention to the man stepping into the hall behind her. Professor Ozpin!

Yang gaped as the renowned huntsman gave her a polite nod before walking on down the hall. What was he doing here? Before she could wonder further, Ruby flew out of the interview room, threw her arms around Yang in a massive hug, and shouted, "He says I can start early!"

"Wait, What? Who? Are you okay? What happened?" asked Yang, pushing her sister back at arm's length and looking her up and down to make sure she was not hurt by whatever disaster had befallen the quaint little dust shop. She was bewildered by her sister's excitement in what might otherwise have been a grave situation. Actually, that should not surprise her. Ruby was always excited.

"I'm fine. Professor Ozpin. He says I'm good enough to start early at Beacon. You see there were these guys, and they were trying to rob the dust shop, and well, they were trying to rob me too, but I didn't let them, and I didn't let them rob the shop either 'cause, you know…robbery, bad. But there were these security cameras that caught the whole thing, and Professor Ozpin saw it, and he was impressed, and he said I can start at Beacon early if I want, like this year even, like we can go to Beacon together. Isn't that awesome?!"

Ruby's explanation came out fast all in one breath. It took Yang a few seconds to process the rush of words flying at her. As their meaning started to dawn on her, a small smile spread across her face. "You're serious?! Ruby, that's wonderful."

Ruby jumped up and down excitedly. "I can't wait to tell Dad."

"Early?" Tai frowned down at his younger daughter as she finished repeating her haphazard explanation once again. She was so excited, and he hated that his concerns might drown out the look of joy on his daughter's face. "Ruby, are you sure you're ready."

"Professor Ozpin thinks I am."

"You're a great fighter and all, but you'll still be two years younger than anyone else in your class."

"I…I'll be fine." There was less certainty in Ruby's voice this time. In her excitement, she had not considered the implications of being the youngest student at Beacon.

"Of course you will." Yang was quick to reassure her. "We'll show the world what us sisters can do!"

"Yeah!" Ruby's confidence glowed again with her sister's reassurance, and the two began talking happily about what life at Beacon might be like, speculating about whether or not they would be on the same team.

Tai tried to hide the pained look that flickered across his face at the thought of the pair of siblings on his own team. Qrow and Raven, by Tai's standards, were not conventionally sane. Ruby and Yang would do better. With enough sanity and luck, they would not have to experience a team implosion the way he did.

He caught a snatch of Ruby's conversation saying something about being amazed that Ozpin let her into Beacon so early. The significance of that thought slowly dawned on Tai as his daughters' conversation raced on. He felt a hint of fear. Watching Ruby's silver eyes glimmer with excitement, he realized in that moment exactly why Ozpin offered Ruby a chance to start Beacon early.

In the few brief conversations he had with Qrow over the last few months, Tai could tell something was worrying his drunkard of a brother-in-law. Even without knowing the details of Qrow's missions for Ozpin, the recent frequency of those missions and Qrow's increased moodiness on his returns gave Tai cause to worry. What if their world's precious "Time of Peace" was not as stable as most people wanted to believe? And if peace began to crumble, having a silver-eyed warrior trained and ready would be extremely valuable.

Tai tried not to let his internal scowl of frustration show in his face. Ozpin should have talked to him first before telling Ruby that she could go to Beacon early. He was her father. It should be his decision.

He knew that was not entirely fair. Ozpin thought of the world's safety first. But Tai just wanted to protect his little girl from the destiny that came with those shining eyes, the destiny that had both blessed and cursed her mother. If peace really was crumbling…no. He shook his head to clear the thought of what his girls might have to face if things went that far. They would not, could not, go that far.

Before the girls went up to bed, Yang gave him a good night hug and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll look out for her."

Tai smiled down at her. "I know you will."

He just hoped that would be enough.

Qrow wandered into Ozpin's Office. "Well?"

Ozpin turned away from the clock window. "It's done. Miss Rose will be attending Beacon this semester."

Qrow pulled out his flask and took a long drink, giving himself time to think. "Tai won't be happy."

"It's for the greater good. He will understand."

"I doubt that. Personally, I think she needs all the training she can get. She's good. But if she's going to stay safe, she needs to be better, to keep learning all she can. Our enemies aren't going to pull any punches. If it comes down to it, we may be relying on out little silver-eyed warrior."

Ozpin nodded sadly. "But for all her talent, she's still barely 15-years-old."

Qrow looked down at his flask and simply starred at it. "Believe me, I know."
