Waking up, Qrow rubbed his eyes. Yawning, he turned over to the sight of Tai's bareback performing a split between two chairs while doing swim like movements with his arms. Getting out of bed, Qrow headed to bathroom. After a shower, he needed to get an ice packet to apply to his groin after that sight of Tai doing his morning routine.

Waking to swooshing sounds, Summer saw the source of the swooshing. Raven swinging her sword counter clockwise then clockwise with each step forward. Reaching the window, Raven sheathed her sword. Turning clockwise, she repeated the same movement.

Getting out of bed, Summer went into bathroom to relieve her bladder and take a shower.

Placing the cups of coco in front of the Branwen Twins, Ozpin started at them. So James was having trouble with these two. Yes, looks can be deceiving. Sitting down, he noticed them still haven't touched their coco.

"It isn't poison."

"That's how one gains trust," said the young lady.

"Miss Branwen, I'm offering a choice Beacon Academy or the mines of Tartarus."

"If that's the case," said the young man, "how about a case of the strongest whiskey and that blonde," pointing to a middle-aged light-blonde with a bun tied in the back while a curl hung down the right side of her face standing beside the door.

Her bright green eyes behind thin ovular glasses stared through Qrow. Her teal earrings that matched the hanging pendant on her collar swung with each step that echoed as she walked towards them.

Slapping her riding crop against the table, "Young man, I'm Glynda Goodwitch, the headmistress of Beacon.

Smiling, "I'll let you use that riding crop to discipline this bad wayward boy."

"Miss Goodwitch."

"Qrow."

"Sis, I'm plan on enjoying myself before hard labor hits this body."

"Ozpin, I'm not letting this punk degrade me with his foul thoughts."

"What to hear in details my thoughts of your flexible after getting your clothes to fly across the room."

Standing in front of Glynda, "Glynda, step out of the room."

Keeping her eyes on Qrow, she stepped out of the room.

Sitting back down, "Listen, Branwen Twins. Four years at Beacon or a lifetime working the mines of Tartarus."

"What else?" asked Raven.

"What else?"

"Yes, there's always a what else."

"If you prove your prowess, I'll lessen the restrictions on your sentence."

"So the blonde isn't part of the deal?" asked Qrow.

"No."

Picking up the cup of coco, "Fine," said Raven blowing onto the coco, "four years at your stupid academy," sipping her coco.

Carrying a bucket of ice, "Hello," brought Qrow's attention onto Summer.

"Hello, beautiful," brought a smile onto Summer's lips.

"Did your mother cry to chase away a star?" she asked.

"What?"

"Raven said your mother cried to chase away a star then you both were born."

"Where did she get that from?"

Shrugging her shoulders, she noticed the bucket of ice.

"What's the ice for?"

"My groan after watching Tai's morning stretch," answered Qrow. "Why are you out here?"

"Your sister's morning routine with her sword."

"Ah. It seems our roommates are exercise obsessed."

"Maybe they need a hobby?"

"Like each other. I've got an idea. A…what's that guy with super strength?"

"Hercules."

"That's it," snapping his fingers, "A Herculean task that would take us both to pull off."

"And what does it involve?"

Whispering into Summer's ear caused her to giggle.

"What a riot," escape from her lips.

Walking the dog with her yoyo, "Hey, silver eyed freak," which she ignored going into the rocking the cradle.

"Don't ignore me," said the bully standing in the path of her yoyo.

With a flick of her wrist she sent the yoyo between the bully's legs.

"Horm, don't you realize she was born an orphan."

"Here I thought her parents died of embarrassment. That's was the most reasonable thing they did besides properly crushing her skull in."

"Kids, leave that orphan alone," brought their attention onto a peacekeeper, "a distressed orphan attract Grimm."

Grabbing the orphan's yoyo, the kids run off causing the orphan to tilt her head to the right. Twisting her body, she burst forward like a little cyclone. Bursting pass them, the sudden shrift of air pressure caused the pack of kids to go into the air then crashing onto the ground. Her yoyo popped free only to broke into half against the pavement. It got smashed by a four wheeled vehicle.

Staring at the pieces in her hands, "Summer Rose," brought her attention onto a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes behind shaded glass spectacles, "I'm Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy and this is," pointing to the light-blonde woman with bright green eyes behind thin ovular glasses standing beside him, "Glynda Goodwitch. I'll replace your yoyo if you're willing to listen to my offer to join Beacon Academy."

Bringing her hands together, her silver eyes sparkled as a big smile formed on her lips.

"Can I have a meteor shower?"

"Let's talk over ice cream."

Clapping and jumping, "I like ice cream."

Walking between Ozpin and Glynda, Summer couldn't contain her joy and her million questions that came a second from her mouth.

Trying to sleep on the airship flying towards Vale proved useless when sitting beside Summer.

"Since this our last weekend as civilians," said Summer opening her scroll, "We need to do some shopping and exploring of Vale."

"Which means stuck four years at Beacon."

"No, we're allowed weekend leave at the end of each quarter depending on how well we're scoring in attendance and performance. In fact, next year, we can customize our uniforms."

"We don't actually have lien to spend."

"We're given a stipend to buy clothes."

Sighing, "I am tired of wearing a borrowed t-shirt to sleep in. Still doesn't solve where we are spending the night at?"

"We're staying at a hostel," said Summer staring her scroll over, "so our living arrangements are settled."

"Hostel?" replied Raven.

"As hunters and huntresses, we use hostels. They are placed in major cities, towns, and villages. As first year academy students, we are allowed to spend the night at them. They also provide food. Once we graduate and are licensed more service the hostels' provide."

"Like what?"

"Armory, getting assignments, and a practice area to train or settle arguments. No killing allowed inside the hostel. If this rule is broken, hostels are closed to the suspended hunter or huntress until the banned is lifted."

"And how you know all this?"

Tapping on her scroll, "Hunters and Huntresses' Guide to Regiment. An guide for hunters and huntresses to navigate and survive in Regiment."

"Attention passengers," blared on the PA, "We're reaching Vale."

Getting up, Raven leaned over a seat to stare out of a window. The sight of Vale was beautiful, however that wasn't what took her breath away. The thing was she leaning over someone's lap. That lap belonged to Taiyang. Instead of looking at Vale, his eyes looked her over. Oh, yes. He shaved his goatee. She noticed his looks improved without that goatee.

Parking his Remnant R75, Taiyang listened to sounds of the fighting from inside the house he shared with his father while his blue eyes studied the blonde with green eyes behind thin ovular glasses with sitting on the porch swing. Following her black boots with bronze heels, her black-brown stockings ended at the helm of her black high waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons. Her white long-sleeved, pleated blouse seemed to enhance her curves. Noticing his blue eyes study her, she pulled out her compact with the mirror and checked if her blouse was unbuttoned.

The fighting stopped. Out stepped a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes behind shaded glass spectacles. His light complexion and sharp facial features didn't hide the bruises that decorated his face.

He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt and long, dark-green pants were torn.

"Ozpin," came from the worried blonde standing up.

Waving her off, "It's alright, Glynda," Ozpin said staring at Taiyang, "Young man your father has something to tell you," resting his body weight on his cane.

Smiling, Taiyang nodded his head and walked into his family's house.

"That young man has his father's stare," said Glynda.

"Question is does he has his parents' skill."

Leaving the skyport, they checked into the Vale hostel. Summer and Raven got a room while Qrow and Taiyang got the room across from them. Tai wore a blue shirt and pants. Qrow had a white shirt and black pants. Summer wore a black shirt with white shorts. Raven had a red shirt and black pants on. Lifting a menu off a table, Qrow read the items.

"Nothing interesting to eat," said Qrow, "Can we use our stipend to pay for food outside of the hostel?"

"Yes," replied Summer, "Just we can't go over our allowed amount. If we do we'll have to pay it back."

"I'm not sitting here," said Raven walking towards the exit.

Exiting the hostel, they saw the busy crowd.

"So what should we do team?" asked Summer.

"Still can't believe you're the team leader," replied Raven.

"Sis, like that matters now," said Qrow, "we're in Vale and broke," noticing Tai walking towards a weapon emporium, "where's he going?"

"Let's find out," remarked Raven.

Entering, they saw Tai's knapsack rested on the counter. Tai's fingers moved up and down rhythmically against the counter.

Appearing from the back, "Stop that stupid rapping," said a lizard faunus staring at Taiyang, "Taiyang, how's that scoundrel of your father doing?"

Opening his knapsack, "As well as one can get, Granville" dumping the bones of the Grimm onto the counter, "Like a price for these."

Examining the bones, "Uresi and Beowulf," staring at Tai, "Five hundred total."

"Eight hundred or I'll double it."

"You're a scoundrel like your father."

"And I know how much you charge."

Taking the bones, Granville paid Tai.

Seeing the other three, "Buying or gawking?"

"Leaving," said Raven pushing Summer and Qrow outside.

Placing the lien into his bag, "Granville, need an order done," handing a piece of paper to Granville.

Reading the paper, "This will take time."

"That's fine," heading towards the door, "By that time, I should have the lien to pay you."

Stepping outside, he saw his teammates.

"So that's why you kept the bones," remarked Raven.

Pulling the lien from his bag, "Had to solve our shortage of funds," replied Taiyang dividing the lien among his teammates.

Receiving his share, "You're full of surprises, Tai," said Qrow.

"Don't call me Tai," he said staring at Summer, "Where first, leader?"

"Know a good noodle bar?" she asked.

Smiling, "Yes, I do."

Leading his teammates to a street-side noodle bar named A Simple Wok, they sat on the barstool. Tai sat on the right of Raven while Qrow sat on the left of Summer. An old man placed a bowl of noodles in front of them after checking their lien is good.

Enjoying her fifth bowl of noodles, "We're taking refresher courses," said Summer wiping her mouth, "during our first year."

"That explains this," said Raven pointing to her wooden sword, "Why does a blacksmith need Grimm bones?" using her fork to stuff more noodles into her mouth.

"Mixing crushed Grimm bones with metal, makes it stronger," said Tai stuffing noodles into his mouth with his chopsticks.

"First item of the day," said Qrow, "is clothes for us."

"Actually, I brought my own," remarked Tai, "Guess, you three are cloth shopping," paying their noodle bill.

"Cool!" said Summer dragging Raven into lingerie store.

"Does even she notice where she heading towards?" asked Qrow.

"I doubt it," answered Tai following Qrow into a men's store.

Sighing, Raven stared at the lingerie. Who was she impressing? She wasn't going to be someone's mistress or she wasn't searching for a rich husband.

"Think, Qrow would like this," remarked Summer holding up a see through corset.

"Summer, after a few days meeting Qrow already you're planning a wedding."

"Isn't that what a girl does?"

"You should plan for a funeral."

"Is he sick? Need to plan the wedding quickly."

Rolling her eyes, Raven went back to searching the right underwear to turn Tai's head. Why did that enter her head?

After buying clothes, they saw the guys.

"Won't believe want I brought," said Summer.

"A skirt that can show off my legs," replied Qrow.

"Yeah," said Raven, "it shows off your butthead every well."

"Look a Sweettooth!" remarked Summer.

"I don't do sweets," replied Raven.

"Sis, live a little."

"No," crossing her arms.

"Then keep an eye on the purchases," said Tai walking towards the Sweettooth.

Sitting on a bench surrounded by their purchases, Raven opened her scroll. Finding the Guide to Remnant, she noticed the scale on lien.

White lien = $1.00

Blue lien = $5.00

Green = $10.00

Yellow = $50

Red = $100

Black = $500

Boredom really gripping her, she looked up the scale on time.

Twenty eight days equal a quarter which is based on the phases of the moon.

New moon = first quarter

First crescent = second quarter

Full moon = Third quarter

Last crescent = fourth quarter

Four quarters equal a season. Four seasons equal a year. Each season named after a maiden.

Winter = Four quarters

Spring = Four quarters

Summer = Four quarters

Fall = Four quarters

"Getting a refresher over time," brought her attention onto Tai eating something from a white bag.

"What are you eating?"

"Spice drop," popping another into his mouth, "Try one."

"I don't do sweets."

"Just try one."

"Fine."

Grabbing one, she popped it into her mouth. Chewing, she slowly groaned.

Staring at the bag, "Can I try another?"

Smiling, "Yes."

She grabbed five this time. Into her mouth, they went. Tapping her fingers against her scroll, she looked around trying not to look at Tai and that white bag.

"Here," placing the bag into her hands, "I brought an extra bag," grabbing some of the bags, "They went to the hostel."

Following Tai, Raven put more spice drops into her mouth.
