A/N: Hey guys, this chapter is kind of really sucky. We were just messing around and trying to have fun with our characters, y'know? Better chapters coming soon, I promise!

River, Clara, and Finn entered the cafeteria and quickly found the rest of their teams, who were already sitting. Kiara and Ember were quietly chatting among themselves, Yatsohide was reading a book while eating soup, and Roxanna and Lola were in a seemingly deep discussion.
"Ugg, that's not what I meant and you know it, Roxy." Lola was saying.
"Then what did you mean?" responded Roxanna. "I'm just saying that being bigger than beowolves doesn't make ursae stronger. And don't ever call me Roxy." The redhead scowled at the nickname.
"Then what do you want to be called? Rox? Anna?" Lola inquired.
"Hey, guys! Hi, Ember." Finn announced their presence.
"Finn! There you are!" Ember jumped up and hugged him. Finn froze.
"It's okay, Finn. She does that to everyone, as we have found." River laughed.
"S-sorry!" Ember let go of him, blushed, and led him to the table, where they sat down.
Roxanna and Lola didn't seem to notice what had happened.
"Why can't you just call me by my real name?" An exasperated Roxanna asked.
"But that's no fun." Lola pouted. "Everyone has a nickname! I'm Lo, River is Riv, Kiara is Ki, if we knew a Joseph we'd probably call him Joe, and Finn...Okay Finn doesn't count."
"Hey! I count!" Finn defended.
Lola shook her head. "You can't have a nickname if your name is only one syllable." She turned back to Roxanna. "But everyone one else does!"
"That's no fair!" Finn exclaimed. "Hey, wait. Ember doesn't have a nickname."
Lola blinked and looked at Ember. "You're right. She doesn't"
"Well of course I'm right!" Finn smiled.
"Shut up." Ember, who was sitting next to him, laughed and whacked him in the head.
"Well now we have to find you one!" Lola played with her hair. "Hmm"
"Do you have a nickname?" Kiara asked the faunus girl.
"Um…" Ember hesitated. "Well I have one…"
"Eureka!" Lola cheered. "What is it?"
"Well um…" Ember twisted her tail with her hands. "My trainer is the only one who's ever called me it. B-but we're close and stuff."
"C'mon! You can tell us." Finn urged….
Ember sighed. "U-umm. He calls me Kit."
"That's adorable!" Lola exclaimed.
"Yup! It's perfect." River agreed.
"It's kind of embarrassing." Ember mumbled.
Finn grinned. "Well I think it's super cute. I'm definitely calling you that now!" He leaned in closer to her.
Ember blushed hard. "Nooooo!" She squealed, shoving him away.
Finn pouted. "But I want to!"
"Uug. Please stop, I'm losing my appetite." Roxanna crossed her arms.
Finn and Ember looked up awkwardly. They had completely forgotten that their friends were there.
"Shut up Roxanna! We could have used that as blackmail later!" River said.
"You shut up!" The two girls glared at each other.
"Calm down guys! Why do you hate each other so much?" Clara asked.
River scowled. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe 'cause Goth girl here is a cold-hearted jerk."
"What did you call me?" Roxanna stood up.
"What? You got a problem?" River stood up too.
"Um, guys? Maybe we shouldn't fight in here…" Lola said quietly
"Fine. Let's bring this outside." River half suggested, half demanded.
"Fine. You're gonna get your ass kicked!"
They stormed out of the cafeteria yelling insults at each other the whole way. The teams watched their leaders in worry.
Kiara laid her head in her arms and groaned. This is exactly what she was worried about when she came to Beacon. For every friend you have is another enemy, but nothing is worse than watching two friends become enemies. This is why she didn't try very hard to meet new people.
"Hey pipsqueak! Whatcha crying 'bout?" Kiara raised her head. In front of her were three tall boys and one girl.
"Hey, shut up. Don't talk to my friend like that." Clara had been in a bad mood, but this was the breaking point.
The boy in front, who was apparently their leader smirked. "Ooh! So scary! What's a small fry like you gonna do."
"And what're you gonna do?" Ember recognized the smug looking teens. It was team BL(a)CK. They were second-years at Beacon who thought they were better than everyone else.
"Standing up for the cry baby are you? That's sweet." A boy with greasy blonde hair named Larson said sarcastically. "But, if you're asking to be killed you are gonna have to wait in line, sweetheart."
"Don't call me that." Ember growled. She and her friends got up to leave.
"C'mon hottie. I'm just havin' some fun. You understand don't you?" Larson said grinning.
"Don't call her that." Finn said through clenched teeth.
"What's wrong with you? Are you scared?" Chazz, who had a buzzcut and was the smallest of the boys, said snickering at Kiara, who was looking at the ground and trying to avert the whole situation.
"Shut up! Leave her be." yelled Lola.
"Who are you,?" asked Kassandra, the girl of the group.
Lola, who obviously did not pick up on his sarcasm, flipped her social switch on."Oh! Thanks for asking, I am Lola, and this is Yatsohide, Finn, Kiara, Ember, she has a really fluffy tail by the way! And this is Clara! Oh and then there are our leaders Roxy- I mean Roxanna and River, but they went outside. And- "
"Shut up blabbermouth. we don't care!" Lucas yelled
Lola fell silent in shock. "...Um, If you'll excuse us we will be going on our way, thanks!" she said turning around.
The leader said, "You don't think you're getting away that easily do you? 'Cause were not done here."
"Are you asking for a fight?" Yatsohide replied, but it sounded rather wimpy coming from the small, lanky boy.
"That's exactly what I want, you nerd." Chazz said grinning.
"Well, you're not gonna get one here." Lola said, grabbing Yatsohide by the shoulders shoving him towards the nearest exit.
"You scared of a little fight?" Kassandra asked. "Wimps."
"Will you guys just shut up and leave us alone?" Finn asked angrily.
"Of course we will." The girl said sarcastically. She winked at Finn. "Come on boys, let's go." Both groups turned around and started walking away from each other.
"Ugg, what jerks. That was-" There was a 'clang' and Finn crumpled to the ground.
"Finn!" Ember and Lola screamed. They turned to see the girl from the team standing behind them grinning and holding a short club.
"Looks like tiger boy is taking a short cat nap." The girl said, laughing at her own joke.
"Now, thats it!" Clara said taking out her longsword. Her friends also took out their weapons.
The people in the cafeteria were starting to take notice and started murmuring to each other. Some were standing up wondering what was happening and others started filming on their scrolls.
Without a hesitation Ember lunged forward and tried to strike at the girl with her staff. The girl blocked it with her club and rolled to the side.
Lola and Clara charged at two of the others and soon were taking turns slashing and jabbing at the two boys who defended themselves with their own weapons.
Kiara and Yatsohide just stood there not knowing whether to fight or break up the fight that was going on.
The leader of team BLCK looked at the two and decided that they weren't worth the trouble of fighting with so he sat back and watched, smiling.
A few moments later Roxanna and River walked back into the room, River was smiling triumphantly and Roxanna looked like she wanted to kill her.
"Guess who wo- oh…" The two stopped dead in their tracks when they saw what was happening.
Without a hesitation River raised her hand, a shadow grabbed the girl from team BLCK around the neck and lifted her a few feet off the ground. Ember, who had been grappling with the girl, looked over at River and gave her a thumbs-up and a smile.
Roxanna pulled out her Katana and quickly had one of the guys, that Clara and Lola were fighting, on the ground unconscious. Clara and Lola had already taken out the other one.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Roxanna and River both yelled at their teammates and team BLCK's leader.
"First put down my teammate." The leader said pointing at the girl that River still had held up in the air.
River scowled and put her arm down. The girl fell to the ground, gasping for breath. "Now tell us what the heck is going on."
"We were just having a bit of fun when your teams attacked us." The girl said angrily.
"NO! You frickin knocked out Finn!" Ember yelled back.
"They what!?" The two leaders said at the same time. Looking around they spotted Finn sitting up and rubbing his head.
"I'm ok.." He whimpered. He slowly pushed himself off the floor.
The door to the cafeteria swung open and Qrow walked in. "Would someone like to tell me what just happened in here?" He asked angrily.
All of the kids that were filming the fight quickly put their scrolls away. Roxanna and River turned to their teams and motioned for them to put their weapons away.
"Braxton why don't you tell me?" Qrow said turning to team BLCK's leader.
"We were just having a conversation when these maniacs attacked us." Braxton said pointing to the two other teams.
"Liar!" Lola yelled at the top of her lungs. "You were picking on Kiara! And then when we turned around, your idiot of a teammate knocked Finn out!"
"Yeah, but as far as I can tell your teams knocked out two of my teammates and hung one by the neck in mid air!" Braxton yelled back at her.
"That was self defense!" Clara said.
"QUIET!" Qrow yelled. The hall went silent. "I saw several of you filming when I came in. One of you give me your scroll so I can see."
A tall boy with red hair silently walked up to the headmaster and handed him his scroll with the footage from the previous fifteen minutes playing on it. Qrow watched the video as the three teams stood awkwardly.
After a few moments he spoke, "You're all right in a way. I want to see all three of your teams in my office."
"What? But we did nothing wrong!" Lola complained.
"Shush, Lo. We did retaliate when they attacked." Roxanna said glaring at team BLCK.
They got team BLCK up and made sure they were fine before they started to follow Qrow to his office.
"I can't go to jail! I won't survive! I'll die!" Lola squeaked. "No! I-I'll work out. I'll get super strong. My voice will get very low." She lowered the tone of her voice. And her eyes narrowed. "I'll run the place."
"Lola!" Roxanna whisper-yelled.
"Yes?" Lola responded in her fake deep voice.
"Shutup!"
They reached Qrow's office where he led them inside and sat down in his chair.
"How did you know that there was a fight going on in there?" Yatsohide asked Qrow.
"At first I went in there so that I could discipline your team leaders, River and Roxanna. I saw the two of them fighting in the front field." Qrow said giving the two girls disapproving looks.
"River used her semblance to chain Roxanna in a tree upside down, until Roxanna relented.
"So after they went inside I followed them in and found the fight between all of your teams going on."
"Team RECK is the one that started it! And then team RYFL joined in." Braxton complained.
"No, you started it by provoking their teams, and then you attacked. They only retaliated because you knocked out one of their teammates. But since you all joined the fight you will all be punished for it." Qrow turned to River and smiled. "Do you remember the story I told you last night?"
River rolled her eyes. "You mean the pointless one about P.E. class?"
"Yes. That one. You are all going to have to run the same obstacle course without failure." Qrow said with a huge grin.
River's friends all looked at her confused.
"Umm.. What obstacle course?" Clara asked frowning.
R…..E…..C…..K
"This is the obstacle course." Qrow said pointing to a large field with ditches, ropes and other obstacles in it.
"I can get how you failed that class." River said.
Qrow glared at her. "You can't leave until you run through the obstacle course without failing." He said.
Everyone groaned.
"Then go to the rest of your classes. If you took too long on the obstacle course, run by the class that you missed, inform the teacher about what happened, and get your homework from it." with that Qrow walked away.
"I guess we should get started..." Lola said after a few moments of silence.
"Sure.." Everyone agreed.
In all, it took them about twenty minutes to finish the whole thing.
"That...was... exhausting…." Ember managed in between breaths.
"We still have to go do homework." Yatsohide pointed out, being the studious pupil he was.
"This is sure to go down in the history of worst first day's ever!" Lola exclaimed.
