Team JNPR walks out of their History Class. Pyrrha tells her teammates, "You go on ahead, I'll wait for Juane."

In the classroom, Cardin and Juane sit their. Cardin had his legs propped up, not caring about anything. Juane on the other hand looks away, somewhat ashamed. Oobleck sips his coffee, and remarks, "You two have been struggling in my class since day one. Now, I don't know if it's just a lack of interest, or just your stubborn nature, but whatever it is..." He takes another sips, and he clangs his mug onto his desk. He continued, "It stops now! You've worked hard to gain entrance to this school, and we only accept the best of the best. So, I expect you to act like it."

His words breezed over Cardin, not even worried. Juane looked disappointed, however.

Oobleck continued, "History is important, gentlemen! If you can't learn from it, you are destined to repeat it." He then ordered, "Pages 51 to 91! I want an essay on my desk by next class. Now...run along." Oobleck then zoomed out the door. Followed behind was Cardin and Juane. Juane stopped beside Pyrrha, and Cardin rammed his shoulder into him, knocking him down. Juane groaned with pain. Pyrrha helped him back up. Cardin walked away, smirking. Pyrrha then said, "You know, I will break his legs."

Juane simply sighed, and looked down. Pyrrha thinks for a second, before saying, "I got an idea! Here, come with me!" She then grabs Juane's arm, and practically drags him with her.

Pyrrha takes him to the dormitory roof. The bright moon looms over Beacon Academy, and the city lights light up the horizon. They walked to the edge, and looked off of it. Juane looked to Pyrrha, and said, "Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a hard time right now, but I'm not THAT depressed. I could always be a farmer...or something."

Confused, Pyrrha looked at him, with her head tilted. She then looked down the side of the dormitory building, and realized what he meant. "NOOO!" She exclaimed. She pushed him away from the edge. She explained, "That's not why I brought you up here! Juane, I know you're having a difficult time in class, and you're not the strongest of fighters...so...I want to help you!"

Confused, Juane said, "What?"

Pyrrha continued, "We can train up here after class, where no one can bother us."

Juane then asked, "You think I need help?"

Trying to assure him, she said, "N-no! That is not what I meant."

Juane responded, with a regretful tone, "But you just said it."

Pyrrha continued, "Juane, everyone needs a little push from time to time. It doesn't make you different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon, that speaks volumes of what you're capable of!"

Juane turned, and said, "You're wrong...I don't belong here..."

Surprised at his comment, Pyrrha said, "That's a terrible thing to say, of course you do!"

Juane snapped, and he turned back, and said, "No, I don't!" He sighed, and Pyrrha looked at him, with a confused, yet sad expression. Juane then explained, "I wasn't really accepted into Beacon." Juane then turned back around, and looked off the edge. Pyrrha asked, "What do you mean?"

Juane continued, "I mean I didn't go to Combat School! I didn't pass any tests! I didn't earn my spot at this academy!" He turned back around, and bluntly said, with regret in his face and voice, "I lied. I got my hand on some fake transcripts, and I lied."

Shocked, Pyrrha asked, "But...why?"

Juane continued, "Cause this is always what I've wanted to be! My father, my grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors. They were all heroes! I wanted to be one too...I was just never good enough..."

Pyrrha reached out for him, and remarked, "Then let me help you!"

Juane pulled away, and said, "I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress, I want to be the hero! I'm tired, of being the lovable idiot, stuck in a tree, while his friends fight for their lives, don't you understand?! If I can't do this on my own...then what good am I?"

Pyrrha once again, tried to reach out for him, but Juane pulled back, and said, "Just...leave me alone..."

Pyrrha finally responded, remorsefully, "If that's what you think is best..." She then walked towards the door. She walked through it, and Frost stood their, waiting. Frost said, "I guess it didn't go well...?"

Pyrrha looked away, and shook her head. She then said, "I don't know what to do..."

Frost remarked, "He will find out on his own, that he can't just do this on his own...give him time..."

Pyrrha looked at him, and nodded. She then said, "Alright...I will. Thank you, Frost."

Frost nodded back, and said, "Any time." Pyrrha walked past him. Frost stood by the door. He cracked it, and saw Juane there. Juane started to walk away, but a familiar snicker occurred. Over the edge, Cardin pulled himself up. Frost glared towards him, wondering what he is up to. Cardin finished pulling himself up, and said, "Oh, Juane..."

Juane turned around, shocked. He remarked, "Cardin!"

Cardin continued, "I couldn't help but overhear you two from my dorm room. So, you snuck into Beacon, huh? I gotta say Juane, I've never expected you to be such a rebel."

Juane, at the verge of panicking, told Cardin, "Please, Cardin...do not tell anyone."

Cardin smirked, and said, "Juane...come on! I'd never rat out on a friend like that." He walked over th Juane.

Confused, Juane asked, "A...friend?"

Cardin put his arm around Juane's neck, and pulled him down, into a headlock. Juane was struggling for air. Cardin then said, "Of course. We're friends now, Juaney Boy! And the way I see it, as long as you're there for me when I need you, we'll be friends for a long time..." He pulled his arm closer to his chest, tightening the grip around Juane's neck. He then finally lets him go, and Juane drops to the ground, gasping in air. Cardin got then ordered, "That being said...I really don't have time to do those extra readings Dr. Oobleck gave us today. Think you could take care of that for me, buddy?"

Juane didn't answer back. Cardin sneered, and said, "That's what I thought..." Cardin walked back to the edge of the roof. He started to climb down, but Cardin finally said before climbing down, "And don't worry, Juane. Your secret is safe with me." He then climbed down, and left Juane. Juane stayed on the ground, fearing for what he has gotten himself into. Frost closed the door, and growled. He shook his head in disgust, seeing Cardin blackmail his friend. Frost then sighed, and said in his head, "I better wait to see how this pans out, before I take action..." He then walks back down the stairs, to his dorm.
