Ruby and Jaune enter Beacon Academy's massive auditorium, filled to the brim with incoming students. Ruby looks over when she hears Yang's voice.

"Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!"

Ruby turns to her new friend. "Oh! Hey, I-I gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!" She then walks away to join

"Hey, wait!" *sighs* "Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?!" he moves on to reveal unaware that another beautiful girl was standing behind, watching him the whole time.

We now return to Yang and Ruby.

"How's your first day going, little sister?" Yang asks with her arms crossed.

"You mean since you ditched me and I exploded??" Ruby corrected.

"Yikes! Meltdown already?"

"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?"

Yang broadly grins. "Are you being sarcastic?"

Ruby scoffs, "I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, because she was just so pretty and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!"

As Ruby continued to vent she is completely unaware that the drama Queen was standing right beside her

"You!"A startled Ruby quickly jumps into her sister's arms "Oh, God, it's happening again!"

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"

Yang was deadpanned upon realizing she was telling the truth. "Oh my God, you really exploded."

"It was an accident. I swear I didn't mean to!" Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals to Ruby. "What's this?"

Weiss started listing off policies to a clueless and horrified Ruby.

"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product..."

Once again, Ruby stopped paying attention and focused on just how beautiful she was. Her minty breath, her beautiful blue eyes, her smooth skin. She was just perfect. That's the only way she could describe her. Sure she was quite the bitch but surely she could do something about it.

Ruby suddenly snaps back into reality. "Uuhhh...?"

"You really wanna start making things up to me?"

"Absolutely?"

Weiss hands the pamphlet to Ruby. "Read this, and don't ever speak to me again." Ruby gasps softly and Yang sees this so she steps in to try and defuse the situation.

"Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?"

"Yeah! Great idea, sis!" She holds out her hand and clears her throat. "Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"

"Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!" Weiss responds with sarcasm.

Jaune hears this and pops his head up.

Ruby gasps in delight, convinced she still had a chance "Wow, really?!"

Weiss however crushes those dreams with dead silence under her glare. "No."

The girls' attention is drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpin is readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him.

"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

As Ozpin steps away Glynda steps up to the stage.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."

"He seemed kind of... off."

Ruby sighs, "Let's just go."

Jaune suddenly approaches Weiss from the side. "I'm a natural blond, you know!"

Weiss puts her hand to her face in exasperation.

The first night at Beacon, students are splayed out in sleeping bags. Ruby, in her pajamas and with a sleeping mask around her head, is writing in a journal when Yang crashes next to her, similarly dressed.

"It's like a big slumber party!"

"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though." Ruby comments without looking up.

"I know I do!" Yang purrs as she watches several muscular, shirtless guys... and Jaune, dressed in feetie pajamas, waving to her, which makes her groan before she returns her attention to Ruby. "What's that?"

"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."

"Aw, that's so cuuuute!" She's knocked back when a pillow is launched at her face in response.

"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!"

"What about Jaune? He's... nice! There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase!"

Ruby rolls on her back. "Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero..."

"There's no such things as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy!" Ruby growls and throws another pillow her way. This one was looked like a dog. "It's only been one day. Trust me; you've got friends all around you! You just haven't met them yet!"

The two sisters notice a candle being lit nearby, and a mysterious girl dressed in all black is seen leaning against a wall, reading her book.

"That girl..."

"You know her?"

"Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything."

"Well, now's your chance!" Yang grabs Ruby's arm and pulls her up.

"Wait! What are you doing?!"

Blake looks over her book to see Ruby unsuccessfully struggling against Yang's superior grip as she leads her sister over to Blake's spot before letting go.

"Hel-looooo! I believe you two may know each other?"

"Aren't you... that girl that exploded?"

"Uh, yeah! My name's Ruby! But you can just call me Crater... Actually, you can just call me Ruby. She smiles in embarrassment

Okay...

"What are you doing?" Yang whispers to Ruby

"I don't know - help me!" She whispers back

"So... What's your name?" Yang asks

A distracted Blake sighs. "Blake."

"Well, Blake, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister! I like your bow!"

"Thanks!" She says clearly irritated

"It goes great with your... pajamas!"

"Right..."

Ruby laughs uncomfortably, "Nice night, don't you think?" Yang follows up

Yes - it's lovely! Almost as lovely as this book...! That I will continue to read... As soon as you leave!"

Yang turns back to Ruby. "Yeah, this girl's a lost cause."

Ruby turns to Blake. "What's it about?"

"Huh?"

"Your book. Does it have a name?"

"Well... i-it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body."

"Oh, yeah... That's real lovely!" Yang comments with sarcasm.

"I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters... They're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress!"

Blake laughs a little "And why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?"

"Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!"

"That's... very ambitious for a child." Her smile turns into a frown. "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

"Well, that's why we're here! To make it better.

"Oh, I am so proud of my baby sister!" Yang hugs Ruby into the air crushing her in her arms.

Ruby begins struggling "Cut it out!" The forced sisterly bonding evolves into a dust cloud of fighting limbs and flying stars.

Blake once again laughs a little "Well, Ruby, Yang, it's a pleasure to ha-"

Weiss suddenly storms to the storming onto the scene in her own nightgown as Ruby traps Yang's leg. "What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?"

Weiss and Yang shout in unison Oh, not you again!

"Shh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!l

"Oh, now you're on my side!"

"I was always on your side!"

"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!"

"She's a hazard to my health!"

Blake, who rolls her eyes at the fight, simply closes her book, reaches over to grab her candle, and blows it out.

As Ruby made her her to her sleeping bag she just couldn't get Weiss off her mind. Seeing her with her hair down like that... she was just... breathtaking! But how could she ever come back from this. Weiss hates her and it's clear she's not gonna get over what happened anytime soon. These thoughts danced around in her head as she slowly fell asleep.

(Hey all, Faint here! Thanks for reading this chapter of RWBY Rewritten! Unfortunately I haven't been doing too well as of lately so I haven't found the time to really write anything. Hopefully the next chapter won't take as long. But whatever the case may be, its good to be back and I can't wait to dive deeper into this series.)
