I woke up early in the morning, and for a moment, I felt like I was home.

I was in a bed, close to the ceiling, white sheets making a canopy over me. I could've sworn I was home...

Then, I recalled the events of the previous day.

I peeked over the side of my bed to see the other occupants of the room, all still asleep.

Qrow was sprawled out on his bed, snoring loud enough to be mistaken for an Ursa Major.

Raven was sleeping silently and barely moving.

I hung over the edge of my bed to see Tai curled up and sucking his thumb, holding a yellow teddy-bear.

I rolled my eyes, smiling at the scene.

This was crazy...

I got up and decided to get ready, getting a shower and changing into a Beacon uniform and my red hood, brushing my teeth and hair.

Then, I returned to my dorm to find everyone still asleep. Knowing better than to wake them that early, I decided to find something to do.

I opened a door, finding what was to be expected: a little kitchen. Beacon's cafeteria wasn't open on weekends, and students were expected to purchase and cook their own food for those two days per week and whenever they wanted a little snack.

"Let's see how alike we really are, Mom..." I went to the fridge and opened it. I smiled brightly. "Perfect."

Qrow walked in just as I pulled the first tray of chocolate-chip cookies out of the oven, and I waved.

"Hey!" I grinned. The drowsy teen raised an eyebrow.

"Ruby?"

"Yep! Now that you're awake, I can start making the pancakes!"

"Pancakes?"

"Chocolate-chip ones. My friend, Ren, taught me how to make them." I smiled fondly at the memory. "I learned how to make cookies from Mom's old cook-books. Sit down!"

"Okay." Qrow sat down, yawning. I kept cooking, laying out a stack of pancakes for him. "Not bad, kid."

"I'll take that as a complement." I rolled my eyes, then looked up as Raven and Tai walked in. "Good morning!"

"'Morning." Tai greeted, Raven giving a small nod. "Ooh! Pancakes!" Tai sat down, smiling. Raven rolled her eyes and sat down next to him.

Qrow suddenly appeared between them and pushed their chairs apart, glaring at Tao, then reappeared in his seat.

I laughed, while Raven and Tai raised eyebrows.

"Qrow, what was that?" Raven asked, confused. Qrow made an I'm-watching-you sign at the two.

"Yang." I coughed into my hand. Raven and Tai's eyes widened.

"YOU ARE THE WORST!" Raven shoved her brother off of his chair. I just laughed as the twins started fighting.

After breakfast, I went to go and get something I'd forgotten in the bathroom, only to crash into someone in the hallway.

"Oh! Sorry, Summer!" A hand grabbed mine, and I was pulled to my feet. I looked up, and my eyes widened.

It was Jaune... If Jaune was a badass.

The boy who stood before me had blonde hair and blue eyes, and he wore silver/gold armor that reminded me of Cardin's, only with Jaune's family crest on his chest-plate and a dark blue sash instead of a red one. His weapon (at his belt) was some kind of fire-sword, with a larger version of Croeca Mor's shield on his back.

"It's alright!" I smiled, wracking my brain. What had Jaune called his father (I assumed it was him) in his stories..? "How are you doing, Michael?"

"Michael?" The boy asked. "Since when are you so formal, Sum? We've been friends since we were ten, so I think it's okay for you to call me Mike." We both laughed at that.

"Sorry!" I grinned. Mike rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you're going to start sounding like Achilles... I better go. You know that Thor and Mulan will start fighting, again. Achilles can't keep the peace forever." Mike walked off, leaving me dumbfounded.

"Wait, did he just..?" I shook out of it. "Nah!" I turned around and bumped into someone else. "Oh, you have got to be-"

"Good morning, Summer!" The childhood form of Professor Goodwitch smiled. I noticed a young Doctor Oobleck behind her.

"Um... Hi, G-Glynda." I waved nervously. "Good morning, B-Bart." The two raised eyebrows.

"Are you feeling alright?" Oobleck asked. "You look pale."

"I'm fine, really..." Make an excuse! Make an excuse! "Qrow and Raven are fighting, again. I'm just worried that I've left Tai alone with them for too long." Oobleck made some tsking sounds.

"Poor bastard."

I know, I know. Short chapter. The next one will be longer, I promise. I just wanted to prove that I'm continuing this story. I own nothing! Please read, review, check out my other stories, etc. Thank!
