Ruby Rose sneezed loudly.
"That's the third time in the last five minutes." Yang commented, looking up at her little sister who was sitting in one of the academy's large oaks. The group had finished their morning classes and decided to get a little sunshine on the lawn before their afternoon classes.
"This is from you always staying up so late!" Pale Weiss chided. "You're catching a cold."
"No, I'm not." Ruby said stubbornly. "I'm fine."
Blake didn't even look up from her book. "Maybe someone's thinking about you."
"hehe." Yang giggled. "Bet it's Jaune."
Ruby jumped down and rolled her silver eyes at her sister. "Oh, stop it, Yang."
"It could happen." Yang said.
"What could happen?" The group looked over to see Jaune walking towards them with Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora.
"Hey guys!" Nora greeted in her loud, happy voice. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing!" Ruby said hurriedly before Yang could allude to anything romantic. "Just talking!"
Pyrrha smiled. "Alright. Oh, I wanted to ask, did any of you finish Professor Ooblecks essay on the founders of Beacon?"
Blake shook her head. "Not yet. It's not due till Tuesday, right?"
"Yes, but I wanted to get a head start on it."
Ruby frowned as Jaune asked, "We have a report due?"
Wiess rolled her eyes. "Of course, don't you remember-"
A loud crash interrupted her and both team RWBY and team JNPR looked around in surprise. "That sounded like it came from over there." Lie Ren quickly said.
The two groups swiftly made their way to where shards of glass littered the pavement in front of Beacon. Goodwitch and Ozpin were already on the scene.
Ruby approached them. "What happened?"
Goodwitch answered. "Someone broke into the school."
"Why would someone break into a school?" Yang asked.
"I know!" Jaune exclaimed. "I'm usually trying to break out."
Ozpin gave the group a steady look. "They took video files from the Emerald Forest initiation and appear to have copied the student files as well."
"Student files?" Weiss asked.
"Yes, we have files on every student who is currently attending school here at Beacon, including the eight of you."
"Why would they take those? And who would do that?" Pyrrha asked.
Ozpin looked off into the distance. "I don't know."
Somehow, Ruby didn't think he wasn't telling the whole truth. He probably knew who did it, but why they would take those files was another question entirely.
