Hello everyone,

This will be my first fanfic and I do hope you will like it. This fanfic will focus on the RWBY universe. I find that looking at other stories tends to be good for a story with an idea but no meat or potatoes, and I do believe in giving credit where credit is due, "Grimm Nightmare" by VioletDragonian and The Nightmare Machine from the Star Wars Galaxy of Fear series. Thank you and enjoy.

Setting will be some time after JNPR and RWBY have gone through the season finally and before the "Best Day Ever." Beacon, Cafeteria; just after the last class of the day.

The table consisted of: Jaune, Pyyrha, Ren, and Nora on one side of the table and Weiss, Ruby, Blake and Yang on the parallel side of the table. Weiss was filing her nails, Blake reading something Jaune had suggested (some comic named Xray and Vav) though she seemed to be losing interest fast, and Yang and Nora were eagerly shooting random assortments of fruit and candies into the others mouth. Jaune and Pyyrha were in mid argument about Jaune's new training schedule, with Jaune getting more training with every complaint. Ren, on second glance, Ren honestly looked like he was falling asleep; which, was probably a good thing considering that Jaune and Nora had said that Ren had trouble sleeping and was constantly dozing off in class (yet he still was passing as if he was awake for the entire day).

That left Ruby to her own devices, and at this point it was the internet and Ruby's endless imagination. Even Yang would agree that this could turn real bad, real quick; however, so far Ruby had only seen ads about game systems, new books released and alpha testing for random assortments of devices. Among the new devices was an: automatic weapon loader, an automatic blade polisher and a full dive weapon testing system. Yes she was on a site for Weapons Enthusiasts Every Day (W.E.E.D) that gave all new information on weapon related topics. The new fad being game systems and automatic do-hickies to teach you proper use of said weapon.

The very last page had a weird link to a full dive machine designed for skill building. It advertised for relationship building for close friends, but had a big warning that is was still in alpha testing. It asked for groups to test it with the disclaimer that it was still an alpha and that there was still the chance for slip ups. Ruby's mind began to turn and think of a good group activity to do on tomorrow's free day for Beacon students. Ruby looked at each of the group members and decided it may be a good activity for both teams, and that was that. Ruby's stubbornness was equal to Yang's, so it was now impossible to stop her and she knew it. Yang saw Ruby's smile and neglected the grape that smacked her in the head to an audible…

"Oh No."

Hours later in the RWBY dorm room Ruby looked on her scroll for a way to sign the two teams up for the alpha test. It was this point in time that Jaune's cautious personality had finally gotten rid of his nerves and asked the question everyone had on their mind.

"Uhh, Yang so why did you say 'oh no' at the cafeteria? I was, uhh, wondering why you were suddenly really scared." He finished with a nervous chuckle. The entire group looked at Yang and then followed her gaze to the back of Ruby's head. If all the groups stare were a bullet, not even Torchwick would be able the block the shots or even walk after that volley of fire. Ruby decided to turn around to face the group with a very satisfied smile, one that both seemed happy and devious in the same instant. Wiess, who was finishing Oobleck's homework assignment, let out a similar audible 'oh no' in the Schnee manner,

"Ruby Rose, why do I have a bad feeling about what you are about to say?"

"Well, we get to have a bonding day; all eight of us will be going into town tomorrow."

Thank you for reading my first chapter. This story will be intended to get a hold on peoples likes and dislikes in my writing style.

On a side note I don't own RWBY, Monty is a genius and very creative for giving way to this new universe. All stories I base off in this universe will be my "head cannon" and will jump around depending on my intentions.

I hope you have enjoyed and I will plan to write in a looser schedule and will work to get a chapter out every week or two. Thank you and hope to get good criticism from all types of readers and writers.
