Wilma checked the alarm clock above her head. 5.00AM. Good, enough time for her to make pancakes for everyone. She unzipped her sleeping bag carefully so as to not wake Gareth. When it comes to food preparation, it was always a mess if Gareth helped. She scribbled a quick note and placed it on the alarm clock. She checked her Scroll for updates and was glad that it was a day off for the students. She got out her apron from her bag and wore it, covering her singlet and her heart print boxers. Tying her hair up in a rough bun, she was ready. She opened the door gently and left the room. Blake shifted in her sleep.

The smell of pancakes soon wafted into the dorm room of team RWBY. Ruby stirred in her sleep as she started to drool, she murmured and was the first to be awake. "So it was really pancakes! Glad I wasn't dreaming about it!" She gently shook Yang awake and whispered in her ears. "There's pancakes for breakfast." Yang woke up and grinned. Soon, Weiss and Blake woke up too.

"Let's surprise Wilma!"

Four of them crept up on Wilma's sleeping bag, looking at each other slyly and following Ruby's countdown.
"3…2…1! Wake up Wil—!"

Only to find out that Gareth was still sleeping. He growled and closed his eyes but not before opening them up and sniffing the air. He soon chirped happily and hovered in the air. They looked wordlessly at each other before realising that there was a note attached to the alarm clock.

Went to the dorm kitchen to make pancakes, meet me at the common area.

~Wilma

Shrugging their shoulders, they went to the common room, only to see the rest of team JNPR happily eating the pancakes, especially Nora. Wilma was there making small talk, her apron lightly covered with powdered sugar.

"My dreams have finally been realised!"

Len chuckled as Nora added three more pancakes to her plate. They were laughing and making merry.

"Hey guys! I made extra as I heard that Ruby loves sweet things. I also learned that Nora had been craving pancakes as well."

Ruby smiled sheepishly as Yang chuckled. They soon joined the rest.

After a satisfying breakfast, all of them went to get ready for the day. Weiss insisted that they should visit the docks to welcome the students from Vacuo on the behalf of Beacon Academy. "As if, you're just checking out the competition right?" Blake rolled her eyes.

"S-so what if I am? We are still welcoming them aren't we?" Weiss responded, blushing slightly.

Wilma stifled a laugh. As they approached the docks, Ruby noticed that the windows of a nearby Dust shop had been shattered. Two police detectives were at the scene, taking down notes as they interviewed the shopkeeper.

"They only took the Dust and not Lien, which I found very strange."

"Hmm…Interesting sir, I believe the White Fang must have gotten to your shop during the night."

"Large amounts of Dust…Lien left untouched. That's the same thing that happened to that other shop!" Wilma approached the two police detectives and gave them her information.

"The White Fang? Hmph. What a bunch of degenerates!" Weiss mumbled under her breath as she folded her arms. Blake overheard and her ears twitched in anger (thankfully, it was hidden).

"They are just misguided, maybe they just don't understand that what they are doing is wrong?" Blake calmly retorted.

Both of them soon got into a heated argument. Wilma gently pushed them away from each other.

"Ladies, let's not get into a catfight shall we?" She winked at Blake.

Weiss snorted as she explained to Wilma about why she disliked the Faunus so much. Wilma kept quiet, nodding her head as she listened. Just as Weiss was finishing her conversation with Wilma, a figure soon rushed by them, winking at Blake.

"You stow away! Get back here!"

"He looks like a competitor, let's follow him!"

"All right. We'll split up, it'll make things easier." Wilma shouted as she sped off one way, Gareth another and the rest chose their own directions. However, they soon lost the figure. Wilma sighed, and shrugged her shoulders. They would eventually find him if he were actually a participant. She soon bumped into Ruby.

"Hey Ruby, did you see a guy with a tail?"

She shook her head but introduced Wilma to Penny. Wilma acknowledged Penny and introduced herself. The sun was soon setting and the girls decided to go back to the dorms. Weiss made more extreme comments about the mysterious Faunus and infuriated Blake further. Wilma sighed and rubbed her temple in frustration. However, when things seemed to calm down, and Wilma was about to enter the room, Blake rushed out of the room, bumping into Wilma. Wilma got a glimpse of her panicked face and rubbed her sore arm. She was annoyed but nonetheless questioned Weiss. Weiss grumbled under her breath and reluctantly told Wilma that Blake unintentionally revealed herself to be a former member of the White Fang and thus revealing her true self. Nonetheless, Wilma nodded her head and chased after Blake with a speed that was akin to Ruby's semblance.

She soon caught up to Blake and tapped her shoulder lightly as she was removing her ribbon. Blake turned around in surprise, clutching the ribbon in her hands and biting her lips. Her eyes were downcast and was about to run off again. Wilma stopped her and squeezed her shoulder gently, reassuring her that everything would be alright. Blake gently pried her hands off and smiled albeit forced.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I'm managed to hide my true self for a long time, it's not easy but it makes me feel more secure knowing that no one knows about it."

"Don't lie. I can see it written all over your face, well actually, your ears. Besides, I knew you were a Faunus all along." Wilma chuckled. Blake's ears perked up when hearing that.

"R-right. I forgot about that… That's why I hide them. Heh…"

Wilma smiled sadly.

"Too bad it's difficult for me…but I've learnt to embrace them, now that I'm in this world, I don't have to worry too much about it." Wilma perked up as Blake smiled genuinely.

"Say…can I touch them?" Wilma held out a hand tentatively as Blake took a moment to nod. This was a weird request.

"Wow…they are real and soft…" Unbeknownst to Blake, she started to purr under Wilma's caress. She blushed and had her eyes closed as Wilma chuckled.

"Hey ladies~ what's up?"

Blake's ears swivelled to the source of the sound as Wilma looked surprised. As the figure approached, it was the same person that Weiss had been chasing that day!

"You! What are you doing here?! You know how much I had to run around just looking for you?! Hmph…" Wilma's folded her arms as little puffs of smoke exited her nostrils.

"Relax. I'm here right now. I'm not running away. By the way, name's Sun. Sun Wukong. You look better without the bow."

Blake blushed but under the night lit sky, it wasn't as obvious. Wilma smirked.

"Well, looks like a date to me." She playfully nudged Blake who looked annoyed.

"You're coming with me Wilma. Then it won't be a date."

"W-wait! Wouldn't that be a th –!?" Wilma's mouth was quickly covered by Blake's free hand.
