Chapter 10: A Start to a School Year
Two weeks had passed since their mission together and Tempest was currently helping her team get ready to go to Beacon. "Wow, these past two weeks have sure gone by fast," Tempest said to Wind as they got ready to head to Beacon.
"I know, it really feels like it's only been a few days," Tempest responded as he got his Scroll and put it away.
"Oh, I should mention that Ozpin sent me a message telling us about our team name," Tempest commented as she put her elbow blades into two sheaths on her back.
"Really? What did he decide to call us?" Wind asked as he grabbed his sword and put it on his back.
"Well, I should say that we don't have a team name that follows the normal thing we would expect," Tempest told Wind.
"So, we don't follow that so called color rule do we?" Wind asked curiously.
"I don't remember that very well, but if I'm correct, that is the rule that says that a team name should be based off a color or something similar," Tempest commented.
"That is correct; although even if there is a team name that goes against that rule, there are always those people who will try to find a way to make it tied to a color," Wind said.
"I've seen some things like that online, but back to the topic at hand. Do you want to hear our team name?" Tempest questioned.
"Sure, I'm curious as to what it is," Wind said.
"Well, our team name is TEPST," Tempest told Wind.
"Ok, now what about our team name?" Wind responded. Tempest was about to respond until she realized the joke and started to laugh.
"Ok, that is actually a pretty good one," Tempest said through her laughter.
"Hey, can't blame a guy for trying to be funny," Wind responded with a big smile on his face.
"You know, I think that's the first time I heard some make a joke about my name," Tempest told Wind.
"Well, I think I should tell you ahead of time that I make a lot of jokes, so be prepared for some bad ones," Wind said with a big smile.
"I'll keep that in mind," Tempest said as she finished laughing.
"You know, I noticed that you seem happier today," Wind commented.
"Well, why wouldn't I be? Today is the day that we are going to Beacon," Tempest said in an upbeat tone.
"I completely understand, but what are you going to do about the house?" Wind asked.
"What do you mean?" Tempest responded.
"Well, since Beacon is close enough to walk to, are you going to stay here at the house or are you going to stay at the dorms of Beacon?" Wind explained.
"I'm going to be staying at Beacon, as much as I would like to stay here, I don't feel like riding my motorcycle to Beacon every day," Tempest told Wind.
"Well, what are going to do with the house?" Wind asked.
"I'm going to be renting it out to someone, though they kind of made the request last minute," Tempest told Wind.
"Huh, I guess that explains why you asked me to come over and help you with various things," Wind said as he looked around the now clean living room.
"Again, I'm sorry about the last minute call, but I kind of needed your help," Tempest apologized in a sincere tone.
"I don't mind it to mind, after all, I got to spend some time with you," Wind said. Tempest simply blushed at that comment and stayed silent in response. "Anyway, I better head back home," Wind said as he walked to the door. As he went up to the door, the doorbell rang.
"That must be the one who asked to rent the house," Tempest said as she walked up behind Wind.
"Do you know their name?" Wind asked curiously.
"I do, but I want it to be a surprise to you with who it is," Tempest told Wind with a smile. Wind said nothing as he moved out of the way.
"Well then, since it's your guest, why don't you open the door?" Wind told Tempest. Tempest simply stepped forward and opened the door to see a very familiar standing there.
"Hello there Tempest, it's good to see you again," the person said as he extended his hand.
"It's a pleasure to see you again General Ironwood," Tempest said as she shook his hand.
"Wait, you're General Ironwood from the Atlas military?" Wind asked out of shock.
"That would be me; you must be one of Tempest's teammates that she was telling me about," Ironwood said in a respectable tone.
"Yes sir, my name is Typhoon," Wind said nervously.
"Nice to meet you Typhoon," Ironwood said.
"General Ironwood is staying in Vale for the semester in order to oversee various things and I offered to let him stay at my house," Tempest explained to Wind.
"That is correct, although I will say that I'm sorry about the last-minute notice," Ironwood told Tempest.
"Its fine, but I'm curious as to why it was last minute," Tempest inquired.
"Well, let's just say some things happened and I kind of had to call at the last minute," Ironwood explained.
"I imagine that the things that happened are confidential?" Tempest and Wind asked at the same time. After they said that, the two looked at each other and both blushed a little.
"Exactly," Ironwood said, a small smile forming on his face.
"Out of curiosity, do you need help getting settled in?" Tempest asked, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.
"No, I can handle it myself, you two need to get ready for Beacon today right," Ironwood said.
"Oh right, I actually need to take off now," Wind said.
"Well then, I won't keep either of you waiting, you both better get going to do whatever you two need to do," Ironwood told the two as he walked into the house.
"Ok, see you later Ironwood," Tempest said as she and Wind left the house, Tempest closing the door behind them. When they got outside, Tempest noticed that Wind was giving her a strange look. "I'll explain how I know him later," Tempest told Wind.
"Good, because I'm confused on how you know him," Wind commented as they walked away from the house.
"So, are you going back to Phaze's house?" Tempest asked.
"Yep, I'll see you at Beacon Tempest," Wind said as he went in ahead of Tempest. Tempest waved goodbye to her friend and then just stood there. After a few seconds, her motorcycle came up next to her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Tempest," a robotic voice said from the bike.
"It's no problem Zephyr, I was just saying goodbye to Wind," Tempest told her bike.
"Ah, how is it going with him?" Zephyr asked.
"Well, he's nice and I think he's kind of handsome," Tempest said, blushing as she got on Zephyr.
"Good for you, you actually found someone that likes you," Zephyr said in a happy tone.
"Quiet," Tempest said out of embarrassment as she put on the helmet.
"So, to Beacon?" Zephyr asked her rider.
"You got it," Tempest said in an energetic tone. With that line, the two took off toward Beacon.
After about 10 minutes of riding, Tempest was starting to approach Beacon. When she looked to her left, she saw Sunset walking on the side walk. "Hey Zephyr, mind if I stop next to Sunset?" Tempest asked.
"Go ahead, I'll go silent while you talk to her," Zephyr responded. When Zephyr said that, Tempest simply rode up next to Sunset and stopped just behind her.
"Hey Sunset, you on the way to Beacon?" Tempest asked as she took off her helmet.
"I am, you riding to Beacon?" Sunset responded.
"Well, I actually was until I saw you. Do you mind if I ride along side you?" Tempest said.
"I don't mind, I would actually prefer the company," Sunset told Tempest. Tempest simply nodded as she slowly rode alongside Sunset.
"So, how has your day been so far?" Tempest asked over the low sound of the engine.
"It's been good, anything happen to you recently?" Sunset responded.
"Well, I've rented out my house to someone. I imagine that Storm did the same?" Tempest told Twilight.
"Palom and Porom told me they actually the ones who rented Storm's house," sunset commented, remembering her earlier conversation.
"Really, I'm happy for them," Tempest said in a happy tone. The two then had a moment of awkward silence as they thought of things to talk about. "Hey Sunset, why did you know so much about him?" Tempest asked, breaking the silence.
"About who?" Sunset responded.
"About Adam Taurus," Tempest said in a serious tone. Sunset eyes then widened at that response then she immediately calmed down.
"Well, of course you know, I told you yesterday," Sunset said
"I figured know that, but I guess I shouldn't argue with your Sunset," Tempest said as she stopped her bike. Sunset then immediately breathed a sigh of relief before Tempest spoke again. "Or perhaps I should call you General Flare of the High Council," Tempest said in a calm tone. Sunset then quickly grabbed one of the blades from her waist, which Tempest assumed was another form of her weapon, and pointed it at Tempest.
"How did you know that?" Sunset said in a very aggressive tone.
"Now now; I was just saying that because I knew you were in the High Counsel," Tempest said calmly. Sunset was about to respond when she remembered where they were and put her weapon back on her waist.
"We'll talk about this later," Sunset said in a very annoyed tone before walking off towards Beacon. Tempest stayed silent as she followed Sunset, a small smile forming on Tempest's face. After a few minutes of walking/riding, the two were at the entrance of Beacon. As they approached, they saw Ozpin standing by the main entrance.
"Ah, there you two are," Ozpin said as they approached.
"You were waiting for us?" Sunset said in a calmer tone.
"I was, because I wanted to tell you both something," Ozpin told the two.
"What did you want to tell us?" Tempest asked as she got off her bike and turned it off.
"Well, a few things in fact. First off, I wanted to tell you Tempest that we actually have a place where you can keep your bike here on the grounds and I'll be happy to take it over there," Ozpin told Tempest.
"Really? Thank you headmaster, I would appreciate it if you did." Tempest said.
"It's not a problem; I just wanted to let you know. The second thing I wanted to let you both know is that we had a bit of an issue involving each of your team's respective rooms," Ozpin said.
"Let me guess, there wasn't enough rooms available?" Sunset guessed.
"Exactly, so, I've decided to give you both a shared room that we have for situations like this. I take you both are ok with this?" Ozpin explained. Tempest and Sunset looked at each other before silently coming to an agreement.
"We don't have any problems with that at all Mr. Ozpin," Sunset said.
"Ok, then here a copy of the key to your room for each of you," Ozpin said as he gave them both a key.
"Ok, so I imagine that you have one last thing to tell us about?" Tempest asked as she put her key away.
"Of course, and that would be to introduce you to your tour guide," Ozpin said.
"Tour guide?" Sunset and Tempest responded at the same time.
"Yes, I figured that since both of you just now attending Beacon, I would give you and your teams a tour of the place myself. Unfortunately, something came up and I had to get you a student who was here last semester to show you around, but they are someone that I honestly trust" Ozpin explained. As Sunset and Tempest were wondering who could be their guide, they saw a familiar girl running towards then entrance.
"Sorry, I'm late; I had a bit of trouble with my team," Ruby told Ozpin, panting from the running she did.
"Its fine Miss Rose, I completely understand. Anyway, I believe you know why I called you here?" Ozpin said.
"Yes, you wanted me to walk the leaders of two new teams around the school," Ruby responded.
"I'm glad that you remembered that. Well, I would like you to meet the leaders, whom I believe that you have meet before," Ozpin said, a slight smile forming on his face. Ruby took a look at the two girls and immediately smiled.
"Hey, you were the ones I saw last week right?" Ruby asked with a smile on her face.
"That is right; though I don't think that we introduced ourselves to you that day," Tempest said in a cheerful tone.
"I don't think either of you did introduce yourselves, but I guess we can use today to do that," Ruby said in a similar tone to Tempest's.
"Well then, now that I've seen that Ruby got here, I must be off," Ozpin said as he got Tempest bike and walked off. Ruby, Sunset and Tempest all waved goodbye to Ozpin as he walked off.
"You know, Ozpin seems like a dependable headmaster," Sunset commented.
"I can agree with that, although no one can quite tell what is going on in that mind of his. It's like he has his own plan and isn't telling it to anyone," Ruby responded.
"Anyway, I believe I'll start with the introductions. You can call me Tempest," Tempest told Ruby.
"Sunset Shimmer, but you can call me Sunset," Sunset said, a small smile forming on her face.
"Nice to meet you both," Ruby said.
"So, you want to take us on that tour Ozpin was telling us about?" Tempest questioned.
"Of course," Ruby said with a smile before turning around and walking towards Beacon. Sunset and Tempest simply followed Ruby without another word said between the two of them.
After about an hour of walking around Beacon; Ruby, Sunset, and Tempest arrived at the fountain plaza at the back of the school. "So, this is the last place you wanted to show us?" Tempest asked as she looked around.
"Yep, this is actually where a lot of students come to relax when the school day is over or whenever they have free time," Ruby explained. As Sunset and Tempest looked around, the noticed a group of four students talking amongst each other.
"Hey Ruby, do you know those students?" Sunset asked, motioning in the direction of the students. As Ruby looked at the group, a big smile appeared on her face.
"Of course I do, they're actually good friends of mine. Come on, I want you to meet them," Ruby said as she walked ahead of them. Tempest walked forward to join Ruby, but was stopped by Sunset.
"We need to talk," Sunset told Tempest in a serious tone.
"Still a bit mad about that comment from earlier? Well don't worry, we will a chance to talk. But before we talk, I want you to think about this. How would I know about the High Council?" Tempest responded before going ahead to join Ruby. Sunset just stood there for a moment before taking note of the last sentence that Tempest said and went off to join Ruby and Tempest.
"Hey Ruby, you showing two new students around?" one of the students asked.
"Yep, these are Sunset and Tempest. Sunset and Tempest, I would like you to meet team JNPR," Ruby responded, Sunset and Tempest waving hello at the students.
"Well, nice to meet you both, my name is Pyrrha Nikos," Pyrrha said in a kind tone.
"Jaune Arc, it's nice to meet you all," Jaune said nervously.
"My name is Lie Ren, it is a pleasure," Ren said in his calm tone.
"Hey, where did Nora go?" Ruby asked noticing the energetic girl was missing.
"Did somebody call for me?" Nora responded from between Sunset and Tempest. The two girls just looked at each other silently before stepping away from Nora.
"Is she always like this?" Sunset asked Ren curiously.
"You learn to deal with it," Ren said in a neutral tone. Sunset then heard a noise and looked over to see Nora looking at Tempest.
"Hey, it may seem rude, but do you mind if I ask a private question?" Nora asked in an energetic tone.
"Um, I don't mind, but if it's private can we go a bit away?" Tempest responded nervously.
"Sure," Nora said before grabbing Tempest's arm and dragging her a bit away from the others.
"So, what did you want to ask me about?" Tempest asked as she rubbed her arm.
"Well, I wanted to ask something about your family," Nora told Tempest. Tempest then immediately froze after she heard what Nora said.
"Does she know?" Tempest thought fearfully. After staying silent for a few seconds, Tempest managed to get out an answer. "Go ahead," Tempest said in a calm voice.
"Ok, now this may seem a bit private, but I'm going to ask it anyway," Nora said in a serious tone. Tempest just stayed silent and let Nora ask the question. "Is one of your parents dead?" Nora asked in a slightly nervous tone. Tempest then stayed silent for a moment before responded.
"My mom is dead, why do you ask?" Tempest said in a shaky voice.
"Because I wanted to ask you a favor," Nora responded in the same tone she was using earlier.
"What is it?" Tempest asked instinctively, remembering a situation similar to this.
"One of Ruby's teammates is going to be receiving some bad news about her family soon and I want you to look after her," Nora said, a frown appearing on her face. Tempest was about to ask who when she remembered a very important fact.
"I'll do it," Tempest said softly, holding back some tears. Tempest then forgot about the sadness and was then hugged tightly by Nora.
"Thank you so much," Nora said as she continued hugging Tempest.
"Nora… can't breathe…" Tempest said as she felt the air being squeezed out of her. Nora then let her go with a slight blush of embarrassment forming on her face. "Wow, are stronger than you look," Tempest said as she got air back into her lungs.
"Thanks for the compliment," Nora said with a smile on her face.
"Should we go back to the others?" Tempest asked.
"Sure," Nora said before grabbing Tempest's arm and dragging her once again. In a few seconds, the two arrived back with the others. "We're back," Nora said in a very energetic tone.
"Hey, we we're just talking to Sunset for a bit. What did you two talk about?" Ren responded.
"Well, to be completely honest, I would rather keep that private," Tempest said as she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly. Everyone else just nodded in understanding to what Tempest said.
"Well, it was nice talking to you, but Tempest and I have to go see if our respective teammates are here," Sunset said.
"Oh, that's right. We kind of did completely forget about them," Tempest said, remembering that they didn't wait for their teammates.
"I'll come with, I need to see how my team is doing," Ruby commented.
"Ok then, I guess we'll see you later," Jaune said. With that, Ruby, Sunset, and Tempest said good-bye to team JNPR and headed back into the school.
"You know, I'm curious who your teammates are Ruby," Sunset commented.
"Do you want to go meet them?" Ruby asked in a happy tone.
"Sure, I'm curious as to who they are as well," Tempest commented while Sunset nodded in agreement.
"Awesome, just follow me," Ruby said before heading into the school quickly. Sunset and Tempest followed soon after while Tempest had a thought in her head.
"If the teammate that Nora was talking about is who I think it is, then I promise that I'll take care of them," Tempest thought.
After following Ruby for a few minutes, the three of them arrived at the dorms. "So, this is where your team is staying?" Sunset asked.
"Yep, if you two can wait out here, then I can see who is here at the moment," Ruby said as she grabbed the handle.
"I don't mind waiting, what about you Sunset?" Tempest responded.
"I'm in a similar mindset," Sunset said.
"Great, I'll be right back," Ruby said before opening the door, heading inside the room, and closing the door behind her.
"So, what type of people do you think will be on Ruby's team?" Sunset asked Tempest.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that I know what their team is called," Tempest told Sunset.
"I think I might know as well, but I would suggest that we let Ruby tell us," Sunset responded. After she said that, Tempest immediately remembered something and moved slightly away from Sunset. "Did I do something wrong?" Sunset asked curiously.
"No, but I need to write a note in private," Tempest said as she got out a piece of paper and a pencil. Sunset just nodded as Tempest wrote down what she needed to. As Tempest was writing, Sunset notice a group of three people walking down the hallway away from them.
"Must be more new students," Sunset thought. As they turned the corner, she caught a glimpse of one of their faces and her breath caught in her thought. "What is she doing here?" Sunset thought as the three students disappeared around the corner.
"Ok, I'm done writing the note," Tempest said, breaking Sunset out of her trance. Sunset just nodded as the door opened.
"So, only one of my teammates is here, but I still want to introduce you," Ruby said in a slightly disappointed tone. Sunset and Tempest then walked to the open door and entered the room. When they entered the room, they saw a teenage girl in a white dress and knee high boots sitting on one of the beds.
"Are there the two you wanted to introduce to me?" the girl asked.
"Yep, I'm sorry about bothering you, but I only did it because they asked," Ruby said in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine, not like I was doing anything anyway," the girl said before getting up off the bed. When Tempest saw the girl's face, she instantly remembered a picture that her father had sent her.
"So, this is how she looks like now," Tempest thought to herself.
"Well then, my name is Weiss Schnee, a pleasure to meet you both," Weiss said politely, bowing slightly.
"A pleasure to meet you Weiss, my name is Sunset Shimmer and my friend here is Tempest," Sunset introduced, noticing that Tempest was a little out of it.
"I see your friend is a bit of a thinker," Weiss commented. Sunset just responded by nudging Tempest and that seemed to break her out of her trance
"Sorry about that, but I just wanted to ask something. You're the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company right?" Tempest asked curiously.
"That is correct, I see that you've heard of me," Weiss said, a small smile forming on her face. As Weiss said that, Sunset simply looked at Ruby and sly motioned towards the door, which Ruby understood.
"Of course I have, I honestly like what your company does," Tempest said in a happy tone.
"Really? Well do you mind if we talk by ourselves in that case?" Weiss asked Tempest.
"I don't mind at all," Tempest said before walking over to Weiss.
"Me and Ruby will be outside if you need us," Sunset said, a bit annoyed at Tempest being a very quick talker.
"Ok," Tempest simply said. Sunset and Ruby then left the room, leaving Tempest and Weiss alone.
"So, I guess I should ask this first; do you honestly like my company?" Weiss asked.
"Why do you ask that?" Tempest responded.
"Well, I just feel like you wanted to talk with me alone and you just said that so we could have the room to ourselves," Weiss said. Tempest just smiled at that comment.
"You're really quick to catch on you know. You are, in a sense, right and wrong in your assumption," Tempest told Weiss as she took a seat in a nearby chair.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Weiss questioned.
"Well, I did want to speak to you privately, so I figured saying something that might catch your interest would do the trick. However, I honestly do look up to the Schnee Dust Company like I said earlier," Tempest explained. Weiss stayed silent as she took in all of that information.
"So, what do you like my company?" Weiss asked. Tempest stayed silent as she thought about what to say.
"I like that they provide Remnant with the Dust it needs to survive. I also like the fact that the owner's daughter chose to come to Beacon and train to be a Huntress rather than stay up at Atlas," Tempest said, Weiss blushing a little at that last part.
"Well, what do you not like about it?" Weiss asked.
"Is it ok if I can be completely honest, even if you might not like what I say?" Tempest responded. Weiss thought about that and just shrugged. "Ok, if I have to say something I don't like, it would be your father," Tempest said.
"You know what; I'm not even offended by that. We share the same opinion of him," Weiss told Tempest.
"You really don't like your father?" Tempest asked out of semi-shock.
"Well, I love him like any daughter would, but I absolutely despise what he has done for the company," Weiss told.
"Hey, if I could ask, what is your family like?" Tempest asked nervously.
"I don't mind you asking and I don't mind telling you about my family if you tell me a little about you," Weiss responded.
"I can do that, but I won't say anything personal if that's alright with you," Tempest said.
"That's fine," Weiss said.
"Ok, well than I guess I should start off that I don't remember much of my past. From what my parents told me, there was a lab accident of sorts when I was about five. I don't remember much before then, but what I do remember is that I was part of a family with two other sisters. However, something happened to me after the incident and I had to be hidden away from my family, though I have kept in touch with my father." After Tempest finished and Weiss was talking all of that information in, Weiss realized something.
"Something happened to your mother?" Weiss asked in a carful voice. Tempest just looked down at the floor in response. "I understand, I won't push the topic further," Weiss said.
"Thank you," Tempest said, her voice holding a tone of sorrow.
"Well, do you want to hear about my family right now or do you want to wait after a while?" Weiss asked. Tempest thought about that for a moment before making a decision.
"I think that would be a good idea," Tempest said as she got up.
"So, do you want to meet again in a few days?" Weiss asked.
"Sure, I can do that," Tempest said, her cheery tone coming back to her.
"Where do you think a good place to meet at?" Weiss asked.
"Well, how about we go somewhere private? I have something that I want to show you and it's not something I want to make everyone know," Tempest responded. Weiss thought about that for a moment and remembered a perfect place.
"That's fine with me," Weiss said.
"Ok, so I guess I should be going now," Tempest said as she got up and walked over to the door. Tempest was about to open the door when she heard Weiss walk up behind her. "Yes?" Tempest asked.
"Here, I want you to take this," Weiss said, holding out a piece of paper. Tempest took the paper and examined it.
"What's this?" Tempest asked.
"It's my Scroll information, I figure that you would need it," Weiss said, a small blush forming on her face.
"Thanks, I appreciate it," Tempest told Weiss before opening the door. When she walked outside the room, she saw Ruby standing just next to the door and Sunset leaning against the wall opposite the room.
"You two are finished?" Sunset asked.
"Yep, we just finished up," Tempest said as she walked next to Sunset. Sunset looked at Tempest quickly and then back at Ruby and Weiss.
"So, I guess we'll see you both later?" Sunset asked awkwardly.
"We definitely will, but if you ever want to meet up, let me know," Ruby said.
"How would we do that?" Tempest asked.
"Well, me or Weiss could give you our Scroll information," Ruby commented, Weiss blushing a little at that comment.
"Is something wrong Weiss?" Sunset asked, noticing her blush. Weiss just stayed silent and looked at the ground.
"Well, I might have already given Tempest my information," Weiss replied quietly. Tempest was then confused about why Weiss was embarrassed before realizing it herself and blushing a lot.
"Oh, so did you talk about interesting stuff?" Ruby asked.
"What do you mean by that?!" Tempest and Weiss responded in unison. Sunset just smiled at that while Tempest and Weiss just blush just grew more.
"I'm just asking what you talked about," Ruby said innocently.
"She is such an innocent mind," Sunset thought, looking at Ruby.
"Well, Sunset and I had better get going. We have to find our teams after all," Tempest said quickly, obviously not wanting to make the conversation last longer.
"Ok, see you both later," Ruby said in an upbeat tone before she and Weiss headed back into the room.
"They seem nice," Sunset commented as she and Tempest walked down the hallway to their rooms.
"I can tell," Tempest said quietly.
"Just so you know, I won't judge if you tell me you're a lesbian," Sunset whispered. Tempest just blushed at that comment as they walked down the hall in silence. After a while, they saw their teammates in front of a set of two doors.
"There you two are, I was wondering if you two were even here," Storm said.
"When did you all get here?" Tempest asked happily, the blush on her face a lot less noticeable.
"We all actually got to Beacon around the same time and we were given a tour around the school by two girls," Wind began to explain.
"They were very nice and happy to lead some new students around," Phaze continued.
"Eventually, they showed us to the dorms and even showed us to this door, though I'm not sure why," Nova finished
"Well, I guess before we continue on, I should comment that all of us are going to share a room," Sunset told the group. The all just stayed silent as the thought about to respond to that until the click of a lock broke that silence.
"The key worked," Tempest said as she opened the double doors. When the doors opened, they revealed a very big room that was the size of about three regular door rooms and had a second floor. On the right wall of the ground floor were four beds with a few storage chests next to each of them. There was also a gaming area in the far right corner, a dining area with kitchen in the left corner, a living area with a TV and a few couches along the left wall, a big window along the back wall, and a spiral staircase in the center of the room. Everyone went into the room and was amazed by the architecture.
"Hey Tempest, are you sure this is the right room?" Sunset asked as she looked around the room.
"I'm sure it is because I looked at the room name on the door and it's the same one we have on our keys," Tempest told Sunset. Sunset looked at the door and saw that it read 'Special Room 01', which was the same as on her copy of the room key.
"Well, I can see that Ozpin has us spoiled," Sunset said.
"I noticed. So, what do you think of this place?" Tempest asked.
"In all honesty, I think it's perfect for us," Sunset told Tempest, a big smile on her face. Tempest was about to say something else when Shade came up to them.
"So, I just checked out the second floor and it has four normal beds along with a futon," Shade told the two. Sunset thought about that and then looked at Tempest.
"So, I imagine your team will be upstairs and my team will be downstairs?" Sunset questioned.
"For right now, let's not worry about that. I just want to get settled in and rest for right now," Tempest told Sunset. Sunset was about to say something in response, but suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.
"You know what, I think that would be good," Sunset said. Tempest smiled and patted her on the back.
"Later on, we talk about that thing we talked about earlier before we got here," Tempest told Sunset. Sunset just looked at Tempest as she realized what she was referring to. "For now, let's got settled in," Tempest told Sunset before walking away with Shade. Sunset just stood there as she went to a bed and sat on it.
"Something tells me that this is going to be a very interesting year," Sunset thought as she decided to get settled in.
