So. I'm honestly surprised that people like this story. I mean it's pretty bad. But I guess seeing how people like it, I might as well keep writing it. So here we go!

Chapter Four: Port, Fights, and Applesauce

It's been two days since Team APLE was accepted into Beacon and Andy was already facing his most difficult challenge ever. Paying attention to one of Professor Port's lectures.

You can just feel the tension between Andy and the lecture resonating can't you?

Well it was during the team's third class when Andy was faced with this challenge yet again. He sat there, struggling with all of his might to stay awake as Professor Port recounted a tale of how he bested a pack of Ursa Majors by using a pineapple and a pair of tweezers. Sitting beside Andy was the rest of his team. First was Leo; his face on the desk, fast asleep, drool slowly trickling from his mouth and onto a notebook. After Leo was Eve; she was playing on her brand new Scroll, a Dust powered touchscreen phone that was issued to all new students by the school. Lastly was Percy; his Scroll on the desk while he wrote down notes in a sort of dazed stupor.

Andy managed to last seventeen minutes into Port's lecture before spacing out and started to think about the day when he was in fifth grade and a Huntress in a white cloak gave his class cookies. He wondered if that was the day he wanted to become a Hunter. Andy continued to space out until the bell rang, signalling the students to go to their next class. As Andy snapped out of his stupor, Port assigned the class some quick homework and said "That it was due by the end of the day."

After a couple more classes, APLE met back up in the cafeteria. Andy looked at his fellow team members and sighed. He never thought he would be the leader of a team of Hunters and Huntress in training. As he looked over his teammates while they ate lunch, Andy wondered why the school made them wear red uniforms. Why couldn't they be green? He loved the color green. Andy really liked uniforms despite the color; the clothes being very comfortable and quiet stylish. He wondered if the clothes were made from some sort of silk or-

"Hey! Remnant to Andy; you awake?" Leo said as he tapped Andy cheek with a spoon. Andy sputtered and sat back as he looked at Leo, who was going back to eating a sandwich by using a spoon.

Andy blinked a couple of times before asking Leo, "Why are you eating a sandwich with a spoon?"

"Cause I can."

"That honestly make no sense Mr. Pussy," Eve said as she ate some fried chicken, looking at her two teammates with what looked like utter boredom.

"Well it's better than being a racist cunt you little-"

"Can we not argue about this? I rather not spoil my appetite anymore with the homework we gotta do for Professor Port," Percy interjected before Leo could finish his insult. "I mean it's pretty obvious that you two got off on rather bad terms but we gotta fix that if we're a team now. Back me up on this Anthony; I really need your support on this."

"Well now that you mention it, I think it is rather stupid. Leo; 'Not every human-'"

"'Is after you. You may find some bad apples but look through the bunch and you'll find the sweetest pair you will ever see.' Nice quote from your dad there Andy."

"But he's right you know! This entire racism thing you keep going on about is stupid. You don't need to bring it up every other time."

"Anthony is right you know Mr. Emo Pussy; no need to cut yourself over what some people think about you."

"Oh really Ms. B-cup? I'm surprised you don't kick some people's' balls around here daily; seeing how you just love to touch them."

"You son of a bitch I'm going to-"

Percy looked at Andy while Eve and Leo continued to yell insults to each other. Percy leaned in close to Andy and said, "What are we going to do about Mr. and Mrs. Team-breaker over there? I got a few ideas but you're the leader so you got anything better?"

Andy narrowed his eyes, in deep thought. "Well, I got one idea but it might be… weird."

"What is it?"

"I was thinking we get a ton of applesauce, put it in a tub, and pour it all over them."

"Ok that is weird," agreed Percy.

"I know right. But I think It'll work because it-"

"I mean applesauce, really? Applesauce is probably the weirdest thing to even pour on someone. I mean chocolate pudding is also weird but it's more common. Water is too stereotypical and shit is just disgusting. Is applesauce even a thing in RWBY? I mean it's possible but everything is just weird because everything is named different. Are apples name apples in this world or are they named differently like 'Redducas' or something else's that's stupid. I mean I get, I really do but all of this different naming stuff is so stupid that it gives me headaches! Also headaches, can our Aura numb it because I have a headache right now and I-"

Andy sighed and went back to eating his food; surrounded by bickering friends and a possibly insane guy. Andy now knew what his second greatest challenge was now; how to survive or leave his team. He bet leaving would be easier.

After lunch and the last couple of classes of the day, Andy went to Ozpin's office. As Andy entered Ozpin's office, Andy gasped at cogs and wheels all around him.

Ozpin looked up from his scroll, to look at the noise, and noticed Andy just standing in the middle of his office. Ozpin laid down his scroll and picked up his coffee mug. "Ah, Mr. Verde. What are you doing in my office?"

"Professor, I want to switch teams."

"Why's that Mr. Verde?"

"You put me, an absent-minded guy who's highest grade in the education system was a B, as the leader of a team filled with insensitive, racist, and possibly insane people."

Ozpin stood up, grabbing his cane and taking a sip from his coffee. He looked at Andy, still poker face, and said "Mr. Verde; like I said to one troubled student, I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them. Do you?"

"I do."

"Well, you're just not seeing the clear picture then."

"Really? What's the picture suppose to be?"

"Why would I put an absent minded person on a team filled with a potentially overpowered Faunus with some hidden issues, a rather complexing girl with a habit of kicking people in their groin region, and… Percy. I chose you because you have the potential to help your team become great Hunters and Huntress. Out of everyone on your team; you know your weaknesses. I've seen it in your eyes."

Andy looked at Ozpin, dazed at Ozpin's logic and goals for him. Andy mutely nodded at Ozpin and left his office. As Andy left, Ozpin returned back to his desk and allowed himself a little smile; thinking back on what he said about leadership while talking with that Ruby Rose. "Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you are not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?"

"It looks like things are shaping up to being an... interesting year."

Andy returned to his dorm and walked back to his team's room. Even before the hallway, he could hear muffled shouting and screams coming from through the walls. Students belonging to the neighboring dorm rooms to Team APLE were standing in front of the door of Team APLE's room, looking at the door with mixed expressions of laughter and cringe. Andy brushed past the crowd as he opened the door and swiftly closed it. In the middle of the room were Leo and Eve, in each others' faces, hurling insults and spit at one another. In the corner near a bookshelf and a desk was Percy who was in the fetal position, rocking back and forth while muttering something about "Take it away Penny. Let's hear your solo."

"Ok! Everyone shut up!" Andy said as he slammed his foot down, emitting a loud bang that echoed all across the room. Eve and Leo stopped and looked at Andy with confusion all over their faces and Percy with hope on his face. Andy crossed his arms and leaned back, his shoulder touching rack where he, Eve, and Percy hanged their weapons. "I'm done with all of this useless fighting. Leo, I know that racism against Faunus kind is bad and I know how racism affected your life and your father's. I know because I was there. I saw it all happen. But it doesn't mean that you can let it affect how you interact with people, especially Eve. Eve I don't know why you anger Leo over his Faunus heritage. I don't know if you have a tragic backstory concerning Faunuses or it's just because you can racist; you need to stop and just get use and along with Leo and the rest of your team. I don't care if you two say sorry to each other or not, both of you better stop fighting and deal with each other. Got it?"

Leo and Eve looked at Andy with pure wonder on their faces. They slowly nodded as Andy finished his scolding and looked at each other. Leo tapped his foot and played with his limiter bracelets, not meeting Eve's face as he said, "I'm sorry for everything I've done to you Eve. I wasn't acting right."

"I'm sorry to Leo. I didn't mean to be a racist asshole. Hope we can get along," Eve said as she looked down at the ground, unconsciously twiddling her fingers. Andy smiled at the two. It may have been only a start but he was glad that everything was ok now.

"Hey guys. I love the fuzzy feelings going around but you do realize that we still haven't done that homework for Professor Port's class and we only got like ten minutes to do it and turn it in before it's late."

Andy looked at Percy and, a smile on his face. It looks like Andy is now facing his third greatest challenge; homework.
