A Pre-RWBY fanfic
This is amazing. Seventeen-year-old Peter Port couldn't have been more excited to be attending Beacon Academy. He'd worked hard to get in and wanted nothing more in life than to become a renowned hunter like his father.
In his awe of the school Peter wasn't watching where he was going and soon crashed into another student.
"I'm so sorry!"
Peter fumbled over his words as he helped the young woman he'd accidently knocked over up.
Way to go Pete. Your first day and you're already screwing things up.
"It's alright," the young girl said, brushing off her skirt. She stuck her gloved hand out to Peter. "My name is Ria."
"Peter. Peter Port," Peter said returning the handshake.
"Peter," Ria repeated.
Peter blushed at the sound of Ria's voice saying his name. He took a moment to look at just how beautiful his new acquaintance was. Her skin was a pale peach, like his own. She had long white-blonde hair that fell just above her waist. Her eyes, which were a lovely sky blue, were made even more vibrant by the lavender scarf tied in a bow around her head.
Suddenly Peter realized he was still holding Ria's hand and shook himself out of his daze.
"Is this your first day too." Ria asked.
"Yeah," Peter admitted with a nervous chuckle. "I'm a little nervous."
"I couldn't tell," Ria said. She smiled at Peter. "Come on. We'll do some exploring together.
After spending the day talking with each other Peter and Ria discovered they had things in common, most notably their sense of dark humor. In the following days when it came time to be separated into teams they were relieved to be with each other. They formed the PERL, like pearl, with two other male students Eris and Lake.
