"You're going to be the bee's knees!" Yelled a brawling blonde named Yang Xiao Long. Yang and Ruby where currently on an airship heading towards Beacon.
"Huh?" Questioned Gray. Looking around, he noticed an out of this world hair-due that would rival Goku's third super saiyan hair... but with more eyebrows. "No way…" Gray slowly walked over to the sign of flowing yellow hair. Occasionally bumping into bystanders.
"Oof! Oh, Sorry." As he slowly reached the blonde hair, some blonde boy did something to the golden hair and she started to chase a certain red cloak. The two things made Gray's brain click.
Two birds with one stone.
He finally made it to the flowing hair and saw the owner of it.
Ok moment of truth.
He then grabbed the girls shoulder gently, which caused her to turn around with a confusing look. "Who ar- Oh my GOD! GRAY!" Yang proceed to tackle Gray in a hug and gave him her signature bear hug.
"YANG Yang YAnG STOPP! YOU'RE MAKING MY INSIDES OUTSIDES!" Gray yelled. Or at least tried to, his pointless yells were more like struggling gurgles.
Yang let go and started to ask a hundred question at once. "Wheredidyougowhathappenedtoyouyoulokreallyhandsomehooldareyounowmeandrubyreallymissedyoudoyouknowwhatyoudidtorubyshewassoheartbrokenevenafterhermomsdeath-"
"Yang!" Yang quickly closed her mouth. "I know, I really hurt Ruby. I really regret doing that, abandoning her for two years." He tried to get his words together. "And that's why I came to speak with you so I can find her and start to make up lost time with her. I was her best friend, remember?" Gray said. Yang looked up at Gray's black eyes. She then gave him another hug. It was happiness, relief, and sadness all at once. Happiness so she could do this again. Relief for herself and ruby to have their friend back and sadness surly because she and ruby were very worried about him.
"I know, and I'm glad but you-"Yang instantly jumped from one emotion to the next. Punching Gray in the arm.
"Oww. Yang you suck!"
"Bite me!" Yang said before giggling. Gray chuckled as well, still rubbing is now bruised arm. "Well, I'm really happy to see you haven't changed one bit did you?"
"Cleary not Goldilocks."
"Hey, don't call me that."
"Pssh, I bet I can still beat you in a fight."
"Oh yeah?" Yang challenged.
"Maybe." Gray countered. "Ok, probably not."
"Aaannywayyy. We should probably find Ruby."
"Hey, why were you chasing her?" Gray questioned while walking with Yang.
"Um, well some boy got vomit on my shoe."
"It's still on your shoe."
"Grossgrossgrossgrossgross!" Yang yelled repeatedly while chasing Gray.
"Yang I'm going to knock you out in a second if you don't stop!" Gray responded.
15 minutes later
Gray saw Ruby starting at a window, her cape lightly flowing as others walked by. Yang shoved him forward and almost made him trip. Gray looked back and saw nothing but a tumbleweed.
How the hell did that get in here?
Shaking off the thought he walked right next to Ruby. "Sure is a beautiful view isn't it?" He asked.
"Yeah. Really relaxing." Ruby sighed, still staring at the stunning view.
"Makes me think like some sort of artist right?" Gray then puts on a snotty accent of a rich men. "Oh! My word! This view really brings out the city. Hmm, wouldn't you say?" He said annoyingly putting on a monocle and top hat he found from nowhere. Ruby giggles at his remark.
"Very." She then looks over and couldn't believe her eyes. Said eyes started to fill up with tears. "G-g-RAY!" She shouted before tackling him and pushing them on the floor on the airship. Knocking the top hat and monocle off Gray and onto the floor. The little girl squeezed the light skinned boy, thinking if she didn't that he'd go away again. She started to speak up. "W-what a-are you doing here?" She asked.
"Um, three reasons. One: I wanted to. Two: ah, forget about two. And three: I wanted to be a hunter, just like Summer. Plus, I wanted to the test myself and give my little trait some use."
"Gray!" Ruby snaps up from hugging Gray on the floor. "You think some students will be okay with 'that'?" She asked worried. She didn't want to repeat the process for Gray due to his 'trait'.
"Meh, if they don't like it screw them I don't need there approval. I got you and Yang now." Gray responded while smiling. Ruby hugged him again. "And this time I won't leave you again. I'll never leave again."
"D-do you promise?"
"On my life of course." The boy whispered.
"OK!" Ruby shouted upbeat eyes still a bit red from crying.
"Hey guys what did I miss?" Yang said while trying to not sound like she was there the entire time and NOT recording that emotional mess of a conversation.
"You were here the entire time weren't you?" Gray and Ruby questioned in unison while getting up.
"Uh, maybe?" Yang responded terribly.
"You guys are still the same aren't you?" Gray asked happily while throwing his arm around Ruby.
"Of course!" Ruby and Yang responded simultaneously.
Behind them a video broadcast was currently going on so far the only thing they were able to hear was:"… Torchwick." Then the news was shut off briefly switching to another broadcast for Beacon. "Hello and welcome to Beacon everyone." The woman on the screen spoke.
"Who's that?" Yang asked.
"I'm Glynda Goodwitch." The woman stated.
"Oh." Yang responded. The Goodwitch lady started to go on about some stuff that didn't really peak Gray's interests.
"Oh wow!" Ruby said clearly excited and rushed to the window. "Look! You can see Signal from up here." She spoke as Gray and Yang walk up the window as well. "I guess home isn't too far away after all."
"Beacon's our home now." Yang responded.
"Took the words right out my mouth." Gray snickered. .
Beacon Academy
"Ugh I thought that flight would never end." Yang groaned, clearly bored and exhausted.
"I know." Gray agreed. However, the ride was worth it because now they were standing in the center of Beacon Academy. Yang and Ruby stared up in amazement of the architecture of Beacon.
"Wow what a sight!" Exclamed Yang. The buildings looked absolutely stunning! Everything from the walls, to the concrete that they were standing on was beautiful.
"Meh." The resident boy shrugged. Building were just buildings in his eyes.
"Meh? Meh?! GRAY?! This place is amazing! The whole academy looks fantastic!" Yelled the brawling blonde.
"Architecture bores me."
"You bore me."
Meanwhile in the world of Ruby...
Ruby was in complete heaven. So many different weapons, so many different designs, so many different friends for Crescent Rose!
OH MYYYY GOD!
"Ruby hey, hello? Remnant to Ruby?" Gray tried to get her attention but to no avail. He then took a deep breath and yelled something gibberish.
"AHHH!" Gray got a result now.
"Good, stop staring at weapons and try to make some friends." Yang explained. Ruby pouted and activated Crescent Rose.
"I don't need to I have Crescent Rose. Plus I have you guys."
"Yeah... about that I need to meet up with a few friendsthatareherekaybye!" Yang rushed out and literally rushed off leaving Ruby dazed and confused while Gray watched and tried to answer her questions.
"Wait! Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing." She managed to rush out of her mouth at a million miles an hour, just before crashing into something.
"Ruby! Are you ok?!" Exclaimed Gray while rushing to the red clad girl. Helping her get up, the two are greeted, well yelled at someone else.
"What are you doing!?" The white haired girl screamed.
"Sorry!" Ruby quickly replied.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?!" This white person was oddly rude, Gray didn't really appreciate some stranger yelling at Ruby.
"Uh-" Ruby tried to pick up one of the many cases that fell before it being snatched from her.
"Give me that! This is DUST! And the very best at that!" The woman shook a vial of red Dust around to prove her point, but all it did was confuse the little girl even more.
"Uhhhh…"
"What are you braindead? Dust-" The girl then proceeded to do an entire rant/lesson on Dust not noticing the cloak wearing girl start to freak out.
"Uh, Uh, AhCHOOOO!"
BOOM!
After the explosion, it was Gray's turn to scream uncontrollably. "MY GOD I CAN'T HEAR AHH!" While Gray was freaking out the "Dust Lady" as Ruby called her in her head, resumed yelling at Ruby.
"You DOLT WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE?! AREN'T YOU A LITTLE YOUNG TO BE A BEACON?!" The Dust Lady screamed.
"Well I-I-I"
"This isn't your ordinary combat school you know. It isn't just sparring and practicing. We are here to fight monsters, so watch where you're going!"
"Hey I said I was sorry princess!"
"It's heiress actually." A new voice joined this intriguing discussion. The voice came from another girl however here colors where the complete opposite of the Dust Lady. Plus she had a cute cat ears bows on her head.
"Weiss Schnee. Heiress of the Schnee Company. One of the largest energy propellant company's in the world." The Cat Ear Lady said while giving the vial of red Dust to no longer the Dust lady, but Weiss Schnee. Weiss grunted in satisfaction that someone noticed how successful her family's company is. "The same company that infamous for its controversial laboring forces and questionable business partners." Cat Ears added in.
"Wha- how dare you!" Weiss stumbled. Angry at the truth speaker she stomped off.
"Whew. Hey thankksss?" Ruby thanked. But no one was there except a tumble weed.
What is that doing her at an academy? Beacon at that!
Ruby thought. "Hey! Gray!" Ruby spat trying to get Gray's attention.
"What?!" The boy yelled still dear from the detention of his friend.
"GRAY!"
"HUH?!" Not in the mood to deal with these shenanigans Ruby quickly slapped Gray. "One thanks and two you didn't have to pimp slap me." He cried putting on a hurt face and rubbing his now red cheek.
"Sorry. But you couldn't hear!" She apologized.
"Hey." Yet another voice has shown up. This time it was the guy that apparently threw up on the ship. "I'm Jaune. Did you just blow up?"
"Ruby. And yeah. This big guy is-"
"Gray." He answered for her. Jaune was kind of on edge standing next to Gray mainly because he's 6'2 and his toned body. Plus, Gray's eyes gave him the hibiegibies. "Aren't you that guy that guy that threw up on the ship?"
Later that day
"Hey all I'm saying that motion sickness is a bigger problem than people think."
"Sorry but crater Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Explained Ruby.
"Oh, yeah what if I called you Crater Face?" Gray stifled a laugh at this remark. Ruby gave him an adorable/menacing stare, only to raise his hands in defeat.
"Well that explosion was an accident." She mumbled.
"Oh, well the name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue. Ladies tend to love it."
"Do they?" The resident light skinned boy asked with interest.
"Th-They will! Or, at least I hope they do. My mom always say tha-Nevermind." Jaune's stumbling caused Gray to burst into a fit of laughter.
"Gray, my mom used to do that all the time, so I don't want to hear it!" Smiled Ruby.
"Sorry." Gray apologized while wiping a tear away from his eye. "But that's way funnier."
"Soooooo, I got this." Ruby said, trying to change the subject and whipping out Crescent Rose.
"Whoa! Is that a scythe?" Jaune questioned nervously, slightly hiding behind Gray.
"Yup, it's also a bolt action high impact sniper rifle."
"Huh?"
"It shoots bullets." Gray clarified.
"OH. What about you Gray?" Asked Jaune again.
"Well my weapon consists of four things. One: Two type of shotgun pump action and semi auto." Ruby started to drool as Gray listed of different things of his weapon. "Two: A scythe." A water fall started to form from Ruby's mouth. "Three: The scythe's blade and be detached for another weapon." A lake of drool was made by Ruby. "And four: I can have the blades tip hit the pole of the scythe and make a one-sided axe." Gray finished with his explanation forgot a few things. "Oh! The name is Spine as you can tell with the various spine-like bones throughout it."
"Wow" Both Ruby and Jaune spoke in amazement.
"So what do you got Jaune?" Gray asked.
"Um, well I got this sword and the sheathe turns into a shield." The blonde sighed, rather bored with his choice of weaponry.
"Ooooh." Moaned Ruby. "Well, I guess you could say that I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to weapons. You could say I went a bit overboard with this."
"Are you kidding me Gray had BONES ON HIS WEAPON! Plus, He's got four modes for it."
"Hey where are we going?" Gray sighs and points the way to where they should be. "Thanks Gray." R and J thanked.
Later that day again (2 minutes)
The Trio known as The Gray Rose Arc, had made it to their destination. "Gray! Ruby! I saved you guys a spot!" Hollered Yang as she pointed to her very distinct hair.
"Welp. See ya later Jaune. Come on Little Rose." Gray patted Ruby's head as he walked to her older sister.
"I'm not littl-" Ruby tried to retort.
"YES YOU ARE!"
"See ya Jaune, nice meeting you!" Ruby waved as she ran to catch up with Gray, before hugging his arm. "Well, where am I going to find a nice quirky girl to talk to?" Jaune groaned as he walked off.
"How's your first day treating ya' little sis?" Yang grinned, she kinda knew the answer already. Spending the day with Gray basically.
"First of all: You abandoned me. Second of all: My first day has been terrible since I exploded because you abandoned me. And Third of all: YOU ABANDONED ME!" Well, Yang was sure Gray was with her through those endeavors.
"Jeez meltdown already?"
"No, she literally blew up like half the front of the school."
"Not half. An uh, small uh, chunk. And there was some fire and a girl who's really mean to me started yelling at me a whole bunch and I really wanted her to sto-"
"YOU!" Weiss yelled, realizing Ruby was in fact, Ruby Rose.
"OH GOD IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!" Ruby exclaimed before leaping into Gary's arms bridal style before putting up her hood, and hiding in Gray shoulder.
"You're lucky we didn't get blown offside the cliff!"
"Oh my god you really exploded." Yang doubted it but, in fact it was true.
"MMas MMM Mccident" Was all you could really hear from Ruby due to her face cowering in Gray's shoulder. Weiss then pulled out a piece of paper which read: "Dust for Dummies". "What's this?" Was the question that Gray HAD TO ASK. He had to ask that question before a storm of words flew on his face. Weiss started a whole monologue about Schnee this and Schnee that. Around the end of the monologue Gray started to go nuts. "Uh-uhu-u-u-u-u-h-um."
"Gray? You stroking out?" The sisterly blonde asked, waving her hand in front of the unstable boy's face.
"Ugh-u-u-h."
"Anyways Ruby, why don't you guys start over, huh?" Yang spoke up, not caring for the malfunctioning Gray.
"Mmood Mmidea Yang!" Ruby revealed her face from the now brain damaged boy.
"Hi, I'm Ruby Rose nice to meet you! Wanna hang out?" Ruby rushed out. Reaching out her hand to Weiss while still in the bridal position in Gray arms.
"Yeah and we can go the mall, and try out cute clothes and talk about cute boys! Like tall, blonde and scraggly over there." The girl spoke in a mocking voice the Gray really wouldn't appreciate when speaking to Ruby. As well as pointing being her at Jaune.
"Really?"
"No." Was the short and brief response. Finally Ozpin came up the stage a now started his monologue.
"Ahem. I'll try make this brief. You have traveled here today in search of vital knowledge. To hone you craft and acquire new skills, and when finished you dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But when I look amongst you all I see is wasted energy. In need of purpose, direction, in need of assistance. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but time at this school will tell the knowledge will only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." With that he walked off, and Glynda took the stage.
"You will all be sleeping in the ballroom tonight and tomorrow you're initiation will begin dismissed." With that everyone began to leave.
"That was odd. Ozpin seemed like he wasn't even there." Jaune walked up to Weiss.
"I'm a natural blonde you know." This caused Weiss and Gray to facepalm.
Ballroom
Ruby was writing a letter to her friends back at Signal. Just finishing up, the girl heard the steps of her big sister. "It's like a big slumber party!"
"Dad wouldn't approve of all the boys though."
"I know I do." Yang purrs while looking at said boys. Then noticing Jaune walking in a blue onesie. As well as Gray, but he was in the middle. He was shirtless which showed off his toned upper body and was wearing a cute set of pajama pants with cute Ursa heads on it. Gray wasn't the shining definition of ripped nor was he scrawny. He was in the middle compared to the other boys who inhabited the ballroom.
Yang looked around and saw a group of girls looking directly at Gray, blushing and jaws dropped, they mostly stared at his dark brown face and very few stared at his pants in a certain region, some girls had no class. She saw most of the guys where clearly jealous. "Looks like your friend wins the sexy competition." Yang whistles. "You better hurry Rubes, before he gets taken." Ruby face blushes so hard it rivaled he own cloak.
"S-shut up. I just reunited with him!" She says and throws a pillow at Yang's face. Ruby looks up and see Gray looking down at her.
"Hey did I miss anything? Whys Yang making out with a pillow?" Ruby then blushes again.
Gray doesn't look that bad.
Ruby then leaps up and notices a certain cat-ear-wearing person. "That girl!"
"You know her?" Yang wondered after peeling off the pillow.
"Yeah she helped me with the Dust lady."
"Um…"
"She means Weiss." Gray explained.
"Oh."
"Fine, then Little Rose go speak to her." Gray commanded while picking Ruby up with Yang following. After reaching the girl, Gray placed her down in front of the reading girl.
"Helloooo~." Yang and Gray sang. "I believe you three know each other?" Yang continued.
"Aren't you that girl that exploded?" Asked the cat ear wearing lady. Her voice was so calm.
"Uh, um,ah." Ruby stumbled before Gray slapped her in the back. "AH-I'm Ruby Rose but you could just call me crater- no you could just call me Ruby."
The lady clearly uninterested in the Fiery Gray Rose trio responded with a very bored sounding: "Ok."
"Uh, what's you book about? By the way I'm Gray. That adorable awkward one is Ruby as she said, and the blonde buffoon is Yang."
"Hey!" Yang said clearly offended. "Wait. What's buffoon?"
"Blake." Giggled the woman. She liked Gray. "Well the book is abou-" While Blake had gone into the realm of book summaries and Ruby and Yang arguing about Ruby dating Gray, a certain hot head that's father owned one of the best dust companies walked over and did her thing… Yell.
"WHAT IS GOING ON OVER HERE?! SOME people are trying to sleep!" Now it was Ruby and Weiss turn to argue.
"Well, Blake the book sound lovely but we should probably go to sleep. Night." Gray winked, walking off to his make-shift bed.
"Good night Gray, it's been a pleasure." Concluded Blake and blew out the candle a signal for: "go to sleep" for the others.
