"OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN!!! WHY DID I OVER SLEPT!! WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE TO BE THE HEAVY SLEEPER IN THE FAMILY!!!" Jaune yelled as he kept running to the air dock.
After being in the police station and gotten offer to go to beacon from Ozpin. Jaune never realize that he didn't had a place to sleep in so he rest at a park bench with his gear on. Waking up he thought it was still early only to look at the park clock to realize the bullhead that heads to beacon leaves in ten minutes.
'THERE IT IS GUESS IT'S NOW OR NEVER!!!' Thinking to himself.
Using every strength to his legs he sprinted at blinding speed making it as if he gone. As the bullhead was,about to close jaune jump and was luckily inside the ship only to roll and hit the wall with the back of his head.
Jaune began holding his head from the pain not noticing footsteps were coming to him.
"Man that was nice jump you nearly miss the flight. Wouldn't want you 'hangin' am I right."
Hearing many of other students groaning from the others and hear another pair of footsteps only this time was more faster than the first.
"Yang that was bad even everyone didn't want to hear it." Recognizing that voice Jaune looks up to see Ruby giving a childish antic. Look to his side he see a the girl she was talking to.
She was wearing a tan jacket with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath shows a yellow crop top with an emblem on the left breast of a heart inflame black with the letter y, and a pair of black mini-shorts.
She also wore a brown belt with a pleated brown piece covering her from hip to hip attached to the rear of the belt, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath shows longer, white, piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side. She also wear brown, knee high boots and orange over the knee socks, with the right sock pushed down to below the knee. A gray bandana is tied around her left knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit. But what his attention was her golden hair that reach her down to her back.
"Ahh C'mon sis you know it was good." giving a little smile as Ruby shook her head.
"No it wasn't." Ruby commented.
"Actually.." Both the girls looks at him giving a nervous smile. "It was rather funny hehe.."
Both gave a surprised look from what Jaune said. As he was getting up felt a grip from his sweater not realizing that Yang just lift him up and still holding on to his sweater.
"Did you just laugh at my joke..?" She ask as she had her head down covering her eyes.
"Uh uhhh" Jaune wasn't sure to answer her. Looking to see Ruby shaking her head side to side.
'Please tell her you didn't..' Ruby pleaded herself as she watch the two til something happen.
"Did.. You.. Laugh.. At.. My Joke..?" Yang asked one more time.
Unsure if he say no Jaune decides to take the risk. " Y-Yes.. I thought your joke was funny. Why, did I say something wro- GAH!!!"
If Jaune thought his luck couldn't be any worse just, now being in a bone crushing hug. Struggling to get out from her grip only to be
squeeze even more from her. Looking down gave his eyes wide open. He see Yang giving a cherish smile and notice a shed tear coming out of her.
"Thank you!! Thank you!! You don't know how much it is for me!! Not once no one laughed from my puns!!"
"Yang!! You're hurting him!!" Ruby shouted. Yang gain some sense and let him go from her death hug leading Jaune to go on his knees and breath heavily.
pant* "I.. Can... Breath... Again..." Jaune kept going till he look back up to see Ruby.
"Hey Ruby did I made it or am I seeing things..?"
"Nope you made it. Oh, Jaune this is my sister Yang Xiao-Long!" She smile as she point at the girl that gave him the death hug.
Getting back up he put his hand.
"Hello my name is Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." He gave a smile as Yang shook his hand.
"So you're the guy my sis kept telling me about." She looked at him from top to bottom. "Gotta say sis you found a keeper."
"Yang!! Stop it beside I just met him Last night." Ruby wave her fist around making her blush to which gave Yang to laugh. As they enjoy one another a projection of someone began to show catching all of their attention.
"Who's she?" Yang asked.
"I'm Professor Goodwitch." She announce as Yang gave a 'oh' to which Jaune and Ruby chuckle. But just as Yang was about to say something hologram Glynda continues to speak.
"We will be arriving at beacon, so be sure to get all of your luggage and belongings." Once she finish the hologram vanish and many of student's including the three looked and see it.
'That's Beacon.. This is the place where many dream to become a hunter. Will I be able to be strong enough to stop the enemy.' Jaune looked at his palm showing the water qualia but clutch his fist so none see it.
"You ok Jaune, you seem serious for some reason." Ruby asked looked at the blind knight.
"Sorry Ruby, just wondering how things gonna go." He gave her a gentle smile to which she pointed at the hatch.
"Well you can't worry in here c'mon everyone's leaving." The two left the bullhead and follow Yang's stepping on Beacon soil for first time.
"Wow.." Was all Jaune could say looking at the academy.But despite looking at the academy architectures what he see gave him wide eyes. To his side he see was a chibi Ruby floating between him and Yang, having stars in her eyes. Not from the academy but the other students weapons.
Just as the chibi girl were about to sprint to the students Yang grabbed her by her hood resulting her back to normal.
"Woah there sis.. Can't just sprint around wild you need to make friends." The brawler announce.
"But why would I need friends I have you and Jaune with me." Ruby said as she point at him.
"Actually sis.. I have some friends I want to see.. Sooo cya!" And with that the brawler bolted leaving a surprise conductor and speechless reaper behind.
"Well.. That was something c'mon let's go to the auditorium." He said awkwardly to which she follows. Both began talking of something random til Ruby bumped into a crate load of dust leafing one of the dust tubes to fall out of it.
"Do you mind. You in the way." The unknown voice said having annoyed tone. Both unsure where it came from til the voice reveal to be a another girl. The girl skin was pale white having pale blue eyes featuring a scar straight down her left eye. Her clothes was somewhat similar to Ruby's with the exception of being pure white that fades to blue and more a dress as well wearing a bolero. She a approach the two hearing heels hitting the ground until she stop and look at the two.
"You in the way so move." She demanded.
"Sorry it was an accident.." She panic til she spotted the dust tube. "Ohh!! You drop this." She gave only for the girl to snatch it from her.
"Give me that! Due you know how hard it is to receive dust in this state?" She question.
"No clue but I don't rely on it." Jaune answer causing the pale girl to look at him instead.
"Look here you, dust isn't easy to find nor manufactured..." As she was explaining it to him. The girl in white was waving the dust tube in front of Ruby, making the reaper to huff some of it in. Whatever the pale girl was about to say to Jaune became a halt.
"ACHOOO!!" Ruby sneezes causing the dust the girl had turning into a small bomb. Jaune shielded himself by covering his face with his arms. The blast wasn't big but made a little dust cloud. All three were coughing a bit but thankfully the smoke of dust vanish.
"Sorry" Ruby said having some sorrow in her words.
"You do you know who you think I am." The girl ask to which neither the knew only to hear footstep.
"She Weiss Schnee, heir to the largest dust company in all Remnant." Another girl announce only this this time Jaune knew who it was. Turning his head to see it was Blake walking towards them reading a book.
"Thank you. At least someone knows who I am." Weiss said as she smile for someone who knew them.
"And also the same company who forcefully put fanuses in camps to get dust for them." After saying that Weiss smile became furious look.
"How dare you-!!" Ruby and Jaune began to chuckle of her reaction. Not saying anything else she stomp with her things and left. Jaune finish and looks at Blake.
"It's good to see you Blake. I was worried about ya. But I guess you were able to be in Beacon, huh?" He assured as well question but she nodded.
"Yes, I'm surprise you got into as well. But I'm glad that just mean there someone I can trust." She gave him a genuine smile as he nodded. Ruby looked at Blake than Jaune for few seconds.
"So Jaune who's your friend?" Ruby ask catching the knight attention.
"Oh! Right Ruby you never met her. This is Bkake Belladonna. Blake this is my new friend Ruby Rose, we just met today at the bullhead." He gesture to both the girls a greeted one another.
"I should be heading to the auditorium now you two coming." Blake ask to which both nodded and followed her. Without a moment to lose they made it to the auditorium and see many students sitting down.
"Ruby! Over here I say you a seat!" Yang shouted catching the little reaper attention.
"That's my sis over there you guys. Cya Jaune, Blake!" Ruby began running toward her sister as the two wave her goodbye.
"I should be heading to my seat too. Hope I see you later Jaune." Blake decide to leave giving a wave. "Bye Blake!" He called out, he looked to see if there any chair but to his luck none had so he decide to stand by the entrance door. He looked and see Ozpin standing and began tapping on a mic getting all the students attention.
"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge--to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." After hearing the headmaster speech Jaune felt odd of his words. However his attention change as he felt a tap on the shoulder.
"Miss Goodwitch is their a problem." Jaune ask to which she use her crop and show a luggage with family arc symbol.
"The headmaster called in your family that you might be attending in Beacon. They requested us to get your clothing and give it to you." Glynda announce. Jaune gave wide eyes that his parents gave him some his clothing. But he remember that he need to talk to them about him running away.
"Thank you.. Miss Goodwitch is there a place I can contact them? I want to chat with them and say I'm for making them worry." He ask to which Glynda nodded and instructed him to the library which bare the system to call people from far regions. But she told him to do it after the initiation to he agreed.
