These one-shots had initially been written for the first Rosebird Week last August. Due to a lack of inspiration and my real-life interfering, I was unable to finish them during that period. I recently got the motivation to complete them, and I hope to have them done before I return to school. Also, I rewrote some bits to add some new ideas that I came up with, one of them making Summer Rose a Wolf Faunus, but I'll give more information about that at the end of this one-shot. So, please enjoy it!


"Oh, my Gods!" Summer Rose glanced out the vast windows, excitedly watching as the airship that she on approached Beacon Academy, the white-hooded girl's enthusiasm increasing with each passing second. How could she not be excited? Beacon was the best Huntsman Academy in all of Remnant! They only accepted the best of the best, and their graduates often went on to become living legends. Heck, even the professors were often legendary Hunters themselves!

Though her tail was beginning to hurt from trying to wag while being restrained under her skirt, but Summer would just have to bear with it. Despite her discomfort, showing her true nature as a Faunus was out of the question, despite the Headmaster's reassurances. While he was a kind and very open-minded person, Professor Ozpin was human and just didn't understand how much Faunus suffered in a human-dominated world.

"What if I'm not ready?" she whispered to herself. Her mind conjured all sorts of horrible scenarios, from getting expelled to her future teammates learning that she was a Faunus and rejecting her. Unbeknown to Summer, her Aura was reacting to her inner distress, and a small gale blew through the ship. The other future students stared with a mixture of surprise, confusion, and awe as red and white rose petals manifested from the hooded girl's cloak and swirled around her form on the wind.

Summer was unaware of this as she tried to calm down her anxious thoughts and put her worries to rest with some self-reassurance. 'It's fine; everything will be okay. Okay, I never attended a combat school, and my upbringing wasn't exactly normal. Still, my fighting skills were good enough to impress Professor Ozpin into admitting me one year early.' Her expression turned into one of determination. 'And as for my future teammates learning that I'm a Faunus, well, I'll worry about that after the teams are assigned.'

'Besides, Aurore, Ro, Dodger, and Olive also believe in me. I've never let them down before, and I won't start doing it now!'

It was then that Summer noticed that all the other passengers were looking at her direction. Wondering what they were looking at, her eyes widened when she saw the petals fluttering around herself, the wind now being a gentle breeze that matched her calmer emotions. Summer blushed a deep red and pulled up her hood to hide her face. Her mortification increased as most of those watching recovered from their shock and chuckled, except for one tall, muscular blond guy who gave Summer a look of sympathy. Luckily, her embarrassment didn't last long as the ship finally docked, and the students begin to disembark.

Summer makes a quick escape by manipulating the wind to give herself a boost in speed. Unfortunately, since she had her hood up over her head with her eyes focused on the ground to not make eye contact, her field of vision was impaired. Hence, it was no surprise that she did not see the dark-haired girl right in her path.

The white-hooded girl squeaked as she crashed into someone the person fortunately skilled enough to keep themselves from being bowled over, though her face ended up pressed against a pair of soft, firm masses. Before she could try to figure out what these orbs were, Summer felt a hand grasping the back of her cloak and pulling her away, their strength enough to lift her off the ground.

"What are you doing?" The female voice was slightly deep, resounding with strength and annoyance.

Looking up, the first thing that Summer saw were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They were the color of a red sunset and appeared to almost glow in the sunlight, boring into her soul with their piercing gaze. It was another moment before Summer stopped focusing on the eyes to take in the rest of the woman's had a round face with a sharp chin, and a cute nose, her full lips set in an annoyed frown that matched the look of her eyes. Her skin was a light color but not as pale as Summer's, and her long ebony hair tied up in a ponytail, styled in a way that it resembled a raven's plumage. She was very tall with a muscular but curvaceous body, wide hips, and a pair of large breasts (and Summer blushed deeper than before as she quickly realized that was what she had faceplanted). She was wearing a black-and-red outfit with samurai-like armor, a sword hanging from her hip. In short, she was the most beautiful woman that Summer had ever encountered.

"Hey! Are you deaf?"

Jolting, Summer realized that she had forgotten that the dark beauty had asked her a question. "Oh, sorry." She mumbled, but that seemed to make the other woman angrier.

"Sorry? You almost knocked me into the ground, then just stare at me like an idiot, and all you have to say is sorry?"

"Um, well…" Summer wasn't particularly good at talking to new people, and this girl's attitude was making her more nervous, and she blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "I didn't mean to put my face in your boobs!" 'Idiot! Why did I say that?'

The tall, dark beauty looked at Summer like she couldn't believe what has just come out of her mouth. The shock was so great that her grip on the back of Summer's cloak loosed, and the smaller girl was dropped back on the ground, who thankfully didn't fall on her butt. The dark girl just kept staring at Summer with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief.

"Geez Rae, we haven't been here for a day, and you already have girls wanting your goods. I'm so jealous!"

The two women turned to look at the voice's owner, a young man about their age, his hair, eyes, and skin tone the same as the taller girl's. He was wearing a white shirt half tucked in his black slacks, and a ratty, red cape draped over his shoulders. Summer could see that he was also a sword user, the handle of his blade visible over his shoulder. And while his appearance was like the dark woman's, his face was set in a playful, teasing smirk.

While Summer looked at him with curiosity, 'Rae' appeared to be more exasperated and annoyed than before. "Shut up, Qrow." She glared at him through Qrow seemed unaffected by the burning eyes.

"Aw, come on, sis." teased Qrow. "No need to be embarrassed! You're a good-looking woman, so it's not surprising that people would want a closer look."

"Qrow, I'm serious! If you don't shut up, I'll kill you!" He just chuckled softly with that teasing smirk, not looking worried at his sister's death threat.

Summer let out a giggle as she watched the siblings interact, remembering how Ro and Dodger liked to tease Dawn all the time. Her giggles caught the twins' attention, 'Rae' switching her glare to Summer while Qrow chose to introduce herself.

"Hey," he gave a wave. "Name's Qrow, and I see that you've met my big sister, Raven."

"I'm Summer, nice to meet you both." 'Yay, I'm making friends!'

Qrow nodded. "Likewise," then his smirk widened as he motioned to his still scowling sister. "And Raven feels the same, but she's too shy to say it."

"Augh!" shouted Raven exasperatedly and stomped away as Qrow and Summer laughed.

'Stupid Qrow, can't go one day without getting on my nerves! One day I'll finally lose my patience and kill him for real.' Thought Raven as she stood at the back of the crowd waiting for the opening speech. Everyone gave her a wide margin, most likely intimidated by the angry energy that Raven was emanating. Good, she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone else today.

As she subtly watched the entrance while she quietly seethed, Raven saw her brother and the hooded girl come in. They exchanged a few parting words before the girl headed for a spot closer to the stage while Qrow looked around for a moment until he spotted Raven and headed towards her. Raven glared as he approached, but, as always, it was ineffective. Immunity to Raven's patented death glare was one of the advantages of being related to her.

"Hey, sis," His greeting was met with angry silence. "Don't tell me you're still angry?" Raven's glare intensified. "Come on; it was just some teasing! Your girlfriend thought it was funny."

"She's not my girlfriend!" That managed to break Raven's silence. "Just some clumsy girl that bumped into me because she wasn't paying attention. What is she even doing here? She looks like she's, I don't know, twelve or something."

"She's sixteen."

"Really? She was short for her age then. What else did you two talk about?" By this point, Raven's anger was momentarily put aside as her curiosity was piqued.

"Mostly about our weapons, she is a bit of a nerd about them and was interested in Harbinger. She then showed me her own, and it was impressive." Qrow was himself a weapons enthusiast and crafter, and it was clear that he was happy about meeting someone with similar interests. "She also told that she got early admittance because she impressed the Headmaster."

Raven's eyebrow raised, interested. "Really, what did she do? Defeat a Beringle with her bare hands?"

"Don't know, she said it was personal, but that's beside the point. If she managed to get into Beacon early, then she must have some skills, apparent clumsiness aside."

"Well, whatever we did to get in early doesn't concern us or our mission, so don't get too attached since, if she manages to graduate and become a Huntress, we might one day end up having to kill her."

Qrow's smirk faded into a frown. He hadn't been happy when the Tribe's leader told them to become students to learn how to counteract Hunters and make the Tribe stronger. Neither had Raven for that matter despite her harsh personality and love of fighting. She did not like killing people without a good reason, but going against their leader's orders was suicide, so they resigned herself to completing the mission.

Qrow scoffed. "Whatever, I'm still going to talk to Sum later, and no one from the Tribe is her to keep tabs on us, so what they don't know won't hurt them."

"Ugh, fine!" Raven said exasperatedly, knowing that she couldn't stop him anyway. "Do what you want! Just don't start flirting with her."

"Nah, don't worry about it, she's not my type anyway, even though she is cute." Qrow's smirk was back as well as the teasing. "So, you don't have to worry about me stealing your girlfriend."

"Qrow!"

But before Raven could try to strangle him, Professor Ozpin cleared his throat to indicate that he was about to give his speech. So, Raven just settled for sending burning glares her brother's way, but he only answered each of them with a smirk. Finally, she decided to ignore him, Raven focused on Ozpin's words of 'encouragement,' though she caught sight of a familiar white cloak near the front.

She found herself blushing as she remembered how the girl crashed into her chest but tried to shove these thoughts into a far corner of her mind as they would only distract her from the mission.

Though she admitted to herself (but to no one else, ESPECIALLY not Qrow), those silver eyes were quite beautiful.


Yeah, I had Summer's Semblance be Airbending, and I won't hear any complaints! My first idea was for her Semblance to be Teleportation, but I've seen it used before, and I wanted something unique but still connected to Ruby. Then I read a story in which Summer's Semblance was creating a storm of razor petals to shred her enemies, so that inspired me to make her Semblance be wind manipulation. And I had Summer admitted one year early because I thought that it would be a cool idea. Those comments about Summer having never gone to school are part of the backstory that I gave her for my story, as are the people she mentioned, but I won't go into much detail until I post the story.

Now, about Summer being now a Wolf Faunus, this was an idea that had occurred to me some time ago, and I decided to add it in when I rewrote this. To not give too many spoilers about what I planned for Summer's backstory, I will just say that Summer is a half-blood, cause her mother was human while her father was a Faunus. Ruby is technically a Faunus as well, but she only has 1/4th Faunus blood, so her Faunus traits are subtle. Therefore, she doesn't have a tail and looks human, except that she has fangs, as well as night vision.
