Hello everyone! It's time for the debut of Team RWBY!

"C'mon Weiss, hurry up! I really wanna try this place out."

"Calm down Ruby. It's not like they're going to run out of food."

Two Huntress-in-training moved briskly on the sidewalk of the City of Vale's commercial district. The smaller girl with a red hood skips along excitedly, while the girl in white tries to keep up with her.

"Not all of us has a Semblance of speed, you know?" said Weiss.

"But I heard it's their grand opening. They might not have enough tables!" whined Ruby.

"Easy there little sister," a long yellow-haired girl comes up behind the two, along with her black-haired partner. "They're not gonna run out of tables."

"But Yang! What if they do? I reaaaallly wanna try their desserts."

The older sister answered, "Well, we could always come back next time."

"I'm fine with next time," agreed Weiss. "I don't think I like the idea of going someplace crowded right now."

Ruby looked at her partner with disbelief. "But you promised!" she pouted.

"She's right, you know. You did promise her that it would be your treat," said their black-haired and bow wearing companion at Weiss. "Didn't you insist on it, to make up for the way you had acted?"

The Schnee heiress let out a defeated sigh. Saying no to Ruby's pleading face felt like she might as well kick a puppy in the street, and it really wasn't becoming of her to renege on a promise, especially after putting their leader through a tough time because of her being unable to accept the roles they were given. After all, didn't she already decide to be the best person she can be.

"Okay, okay. We're going."

Ruby hugged her partner in triumph. "You won't regret this Weiss. I heard they had really great service there."

'I'm already regretting this…' thought Weiss, uneasy at being hugged by the leader of their team.

After a few minutes, the four students arrive in front of a packed restaurant. There were many different people that were eating and chatting happily, while a select few were busy reading books on their tables.

This place was a recently opened restaurant and café that had a generous amount of books available for their customers to read from, while they enjoy a meal or drink. That was not their only selling point. The elaborate attire of the staff also helped raise the visual appeal of the shop.

"Welcome to Radix Book Café!" greeted a raccoon-eared faunus.

Ruby and her team were mildly surprised to see a faunus dressed in maid clothing greeting them.

"How many people are in your group?" asked the faunus maid.

"Table for four please," said Ruby. There were sparkles in her eyes as she stared at the maid. "That outfit is so cute!"

"Thank you," smiled the faunus, happy to be praised. "It's really quite nice and comfortable to move in, even though it looks very fancy." She made a small twirl to let them see the elaborate uniform.

"For a maid outfit, it certainly does look nice," admitted Weiss, as she carefully eyed the costume. She had seen more than her fair share of maid clothing from her family's own servants, and she could tell that the design and material used were pretty good.

The café had handmade maid and butler costumes used by their serving staff. It helped in giving the place a unique feel along with their numerous selection of books.

"Would the veranda be okay?" asked the maid faunus.

The group nodded their heads in agreement. Their maid guided them to their table and left them menus for them to browse. It had plenty of normal dishes you would find in most other café's and restaurants. But it also seemed to have a few unique dishes here and there.

"Mapo Tofu?" read Weiss out loud.

"I wouldn't recommend that," said a maid with violet hair and eyes. "I think it's really too spicy to eat."

She made modest bow to greet them and said, "My name is Sakura, and I will be taking your orders today."

Team RWBY looked up from their menus to see that their waitress is a beautiful young human woman about their age. She too was wearing a maid outfit similar to the first one. Although, the chest area seemed to be a bit tighter on her.

Yang was intrigued by the warning. "Spicy you say? Sounds like that's right up my alley! One order of Mapo Tofu for me please!"

The maid's smile cringed a little but she still wrote the order down, albeit a bit reluctantly.

"It comes with a glass of milk. If you need more, please don't hesitate to ask," said Sakura to Yang before addressing everyone else. "Is everyone else ready to order or would all of you like a little bit more time?"

"I'll have the grilled cheese sandwich and a soda, please," said Ruby, waving a raised hand in the air.

"Tuna salad for me and a glass of milk," softly answered Blake.

"I'd like to order the Wholetail Scampi and iced tea," said Weiss.

Their waitress quickly wrote down the orders and retrieved their menus. She politely repeated their orders to them for a final check and left them alone soon after.

"Well, she was nice," said Yang.

Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"I told you this place had pretty good service," smiled Ruby.

"It's nice to see someplace that actually seems to treat faunus and humans equally," commented Blake. She was busy looking carefully at the staff and noted that they had more than several faunus working diligently. "It's still not uncommon for faunus to be discriminated against, and have a hard time finding decent places to work."

Weiss huffed up a bit. "Maybe if a terrorist group like the White Fang didn't exist, people would be more willing to accept faunus openly into their employment. Certainly, better than being forced into hiring faunus just because they scared that their place might get attacked if they don't." Her face was marred by her distaste at even talking about the organization. "Of course people would find it hard to treat faunus positively because of that."

Blake took great offense at that remark. "Well, maybe if the faunus had actually been treated fairly in the first place then there wouldn't have been a need for a group like the White Fang to appear," she replied hotly.

Weiss was taken slightly taken aback by her teammate's opinion, but she quickly felt annoyed at having someone try and defend a terrorist group. "That still doesn't excuse them for all the damage and violence they've done."

The tension at Team RWBY's table was beginning to rise, as White and Black glared at each other, while arguing. Ruby and Yang could only watch meekly on the sides as their teammates stared each other down, and went back and forth with their arguments.

"What's going on, Yang?" worriedly whispered Ruby to her sister.

"I don't know but I really hope the food comes out soon," Yang whispered back. This atmosphere was really getting quite uncomfortable, and she was really really feeling hungry right now.

And just before the situation was about to reach a melting point, the delicious smell of food permeated the air followed by the voice of their waitress.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I have your orders ready." Sakura had their orders on a cart she wheeled. The steam rising from their freshly cooked food was quite a mouthwatering sight.

Sakura seemed to have noticed something amiss with her customers. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.

Weiss and Blake broke out of their stare down and quickly realized how inappropriate they were acting in public. They decided to forget about their argument for now and focus on their arriving meals.

"No, no. We were just disagreeing on something," waved off Weiss.

"Yeah," agreed Blake. "There's no problem at all." She tried to adjust her posture in her seat to calm herself down.

Sakura still looked a little bit concerned but decided that it would be rude to pry. Instead, she went back to work and placed their orders on their table. Afterwards, she told them to just call her if there was anything else they needed or if they wanted to order their desserts, before excusing herself to serve other customers.

Team RWBY's table turned terribly quiet once their waitress left.

It was not because of the awkward atmosphere from two of their teammate's argument earlier, nor was it from being stunned at the aromatic smell of the wonderful meals on their table. No. The source of the silence came from a certain dish in front of Yang that seemed to be radiating its own different kind of heat that did not seem part of a normally cooked meal. Everyone just stared at it in silence.

"I-Is that supposed to be that… red?" mumbled out Blake. She looked quite concerned looking at it, and backed herself a little bit further away.

"I wonder if it's just the heat, but it kinda looks like it's glowing too," added Weiss. She was staring at the dish curiously. "Did they add Dust to power that thing?"

Ruby looked worriedly at her sister. "Are you really sure you're going to be fine eating that, Yang?"

Yang had a cramped smile on and tried to reassure them. "O-Of course! It's going to take something a lot hotter than this to stop me!" She grabbed the spoon that came with the dish and scooped up a mouthful. The spoonful of Mapo Tofu was quickly gulped down by the yellow-haired girl.

Spoon still in her hand, Yang froze for a few seconds, causing her companions to watch her worriedly.

"See, I told you I'd be fine," she smiled at them before continuing on shoveling the possibly hotter than the sun dish into her mouth.

Her teammates let out a sigh of relief upon hearing her reassurance.

After more than half of the Mapo Tofu was eaten, Weiss noticed that Yang was eating at a rapid pace. "Aren't you eating a little too fast there, Yang?" she asked concernedly.

Ruby and Blake realized that as well, since none of them have even taken a bite out of their own meals yet.

Yang didn't seem to hear what they said and completely ignored them, while she continued on eating away at the Mapo Tofu. Her entire focus was on the dish before her. She was now noticeably sweating and her eyes were watering a little. The red colored eyes she had pretty much told her teammates what kind of state she was in.

"Uuuhm… Yang, Maybe you should stop?" pleaded Ruby. Her older sister's behavior was really starting to worry her.

Ruby's concern fell on deaf ears as Yang finally slammed her spoon on the table with a bang after eating the last of the offending meal.

Everyone else was startled by that action and looked at her intently.

Yang had her eyes tightly closed shut and her two hands balled into fists on the table. It looked like she was concentrating really hard on suppressing something.

Finally, after a few moments, she shouted while holding her throat, "GAAAAAHH! I BURN! I BURN! I BUURNNNNN!"

The rest of team RWBY frantically tried to calm their teammate down, as she continued to shout out loudly. They only managed to finally calm her down after they remembered that she was given a glass of milk to go with her meal, to which Yang quickly chugged it down.

Later, Yang was slumped on the table with an empty glass on her hand, sobbing quietly.

"There, there," said Ruby, as she gently rubbed her sister's back trying to comfort her. "It's okay, Yang. At least you won."

Yang pulled her sister tightly into a hug. "I-It was so horrible…," she cried out. "So deliciously horrible… it felt like I was in heaven and hell at the same time. I couldn't stop myself."

A glass of chocolate banana smoothie was put down in front of Yang by their waitress. "I'm really sorry. I already asked my sister not to make it too spicy, but I guess that didn't really help that much," said Sakura, looking a bit distressed at the state of one of their customer was in due to a dish she served.

"You don't have to apologize. It's her own fault since you did warn her after all," commented Weiss, offhandedly while eating. "On a different note, this Scampi is absolutely wonderful!" she exclaimed. "This is even better than what the Chefs we have at home make." The heiress tried to look as dignified as she can while eating, but she already failed to notice a piece of her food in her cheek because she was too focused on devouring her Scampi.

"The food really was good," agreed Blake. She had finished her meal earlier and was already reading a book she had procured from one of the shelves around the café.

"Thank you," said Sakura, happily. "I'll be sure to tell the cooks you enjoyed their meals." She bowed and excused herself once more.

A little bit later, Ruby and her team got desserts. They started to chat about things at Beacon and the start of their path to becoming Huntresses.

"Classes are sooo boring," moaned Ruby. "I thought we'd get to do more combat at Beacon but it's still mostly the same classes I've had at Signal."

Yang chuckled at her sister. She rubbed down her sister's hair and said, "It's not that bad, Ruby. We're still at our first year, and we'll get more combat training as we get closer to the Vytal Festival."

"You do have to admit, Professor Port's class can be a bit too much," commented Blake.

The old Huntsman's class was rarely fully awake due to his constant long winded monologues of his glory days. He discussed more about his history more than what Professor Oobleck taught, and he was supposed to be teaching history.

"So the man likes to talk about his accomplishments a lot. It's not that hard to keep awake in his class," said Weiss.

Yang smirked at her. "So that wasn't you dozing off yesterday in his class?"

"I-I was just resting my eyes. They were getting dry!"

"Uh-huh." Yang didn't believe her.

Weiss really did think Professor Port was a good man and wanted to at least defend him a little. Unfortunately, being a good man didn't make one any less boring when he starts talking like an old man about how it used to be in his day. One can only keep his eyes opened for so long in that class before 15 minutes of continued monotonous talk about brushing one's hair for an award so long ago, will bring them to a heavy sleep.

"Okay," sighed Weiss. "He can be a little too into himself when he gets into it."

"I wonder when are they going to start sending us on missions? I really want to start hunting Grimm again," said Ruby.

In response, Blake opted to put her book down and say, "I heard some of the Professors talking that they might actually start sending us out earlier than they planned. Something about there being an abnormal increase in Grimm activity lately."

Yang munched down the last of her éclair and said, "Oh yeah, I heard about that too. It looks like the Grimm started getting more active ever since we started school. They said a lot of the Grimm had started gathering near the city too."

Weiss scrunched her brows in thought of that. "If that's the case, then isn't it weird that Vale hasn't received any increase in Grimm attacks lately?"

Yang just shrugged. "Beats me."

"Oooh, Oooh!" Ruby was waving her hand like she was in class. "Some of my friends from Signal told me that they heard some people from the city talking about a Huntress beating up most of the Grimm that get too close."

"That could explain it," nodded Weiss in understanding. "I wonder who they sent out?"

"Maybe I could get her autograph?" wondered Ruby

Yang couldn't help but smile at her little sister. "Really, Ruby. You should stop being such a fangirl," she teased. "You're going to become a Huntress yourself, aren't you?"

Ruby frowned at her sister's teasing. "This and that are two different things, Yang." Although, she had to quietly admit to herself that asking all of their Professors for their autograph might have been a tad too much, even if she was ecstatic that they agreed well enough.

"Well, if things keep going the way they are, maybe they won't have to cancel our field trip with Professor Peach to Forever Fall," said Blake.

They had been told in advance by the Professor that depending on just how active the Grimm where in the area, they might have to postpone or completely cancel their trip. The Professor will then just give them written assignments about the effects of the red sap on Rapier Wasps.

"That would really bum out Nora," stated Ruby. "For some reason, she's really excited to go there."

Weiss drank the last of her iced tea before saying haughtily, "Well, field experience is a valuable asset in becoming a Huntress. It really won't do if all our training are limited to the confines of the academy. After all, actual combat is completely different from mock battles."

She looked around to check if everyone else was finished the last of their desserts and drinks before asking, "Everyone done? As much as I enjoyed our little team bonding experience, we really should be getting back. We've still got that assignment Professor Oobleck assigned on faunus and human war reparations."

Everyone nodded their consent.

Weiss looked around for their waitress but couldn't find her, so she just voiced out, "Waitress! Check please!"

A different maid showed in response.

"My apologies," she said, while bowing. "Sakura is currently helping out in kitchen due to the influx of orders."

The maid had long purple hair that reached out almost to her heels. She wore glasses that made her appear like a cool older beauty similar to their Professor Goodwitch. While not unfriendly, her tone of voice was more professional than that of the other maids they met. What was too much, however, was just how beautiful the woman looked. Her beauty seemed so divine and unreal.

"My name is Medusa," said the maid. "I'll be sure to return with your check shortly."

Weiss was momentarily stunned by her appearance before stammering, "N-No problem. We can wait."

Their new maid bowed once more before leaving them to retrieve their check.

"Wow." Yang watched the figure of the maid carefully as she left. "All the girls here are really high-spec. She's really nice too." A mildly lecherous grin appeared on her face.

Weiss looked at her in apprehension. "Is that what you meant when you called Sakura nice too?!"

"What? Can't a girl appreciate another girl's body?" Yang defended.

"No! At least not like the way you're doing it!" replied Weiss, testily.

"C'mon, Weiss. The beauty of the female form is nothing to be shamed about," claimed Yang. Her eyes giving Weiss a once over, looking only a little bit longer on her chest. "I'm sure you're still in your growing phase. You probably won't get as big as me or those two maids, but you'll still be a beauty in your own right."

Weiss saw her looking at her chest and covered it with her hands, while glaring angrily at her. "Don't you dare look at me with those same eyes," she threatened.

Yang only grinned wider at her.

Ruby only looked confusedly at the two. "What are you guys talking about?"

"I think it's best if you just ignored them, Ruby," sighed Blake. "You're still a little too young for that kind of talk."

In a minute, their maid came back with their check, and Weiss promptly paid for all of it. For the quality of food and service, the price was relatively cheap, it wasn't all that different compared to some of the other regular restaurants in Vale.

"I really like that place," said Ruby, while all of them were walking. "We should make it our regular hangout spot when we're off from school."

"I wouldn't say no to that," smiled Yang.

"The food was very good," thought Weiss seriously. "I wonder if my family would be interested in hiring them out."

Ruby frowned at that. "Weiss! Don't think of hogging them all to yourself!"

"It was just a thought," she mumbled meekly.

"They also do have a really nice selection of books to read," added Blake. She had thoughts of maybe going there by herself sometime to find a sequel to a certain book she had. Maybe she could ask them to loan it to her if possible since she doubted the Beacon Academy Library would carry such a book.

"That settles it then!" declared Ruby, enthusiastically. "Radix Book Café is Team RWBY's new hangout in Vale!"

At the end of the day, the staff of Radix Book Café are cleaning up after the store's grand opening. It was quite a busy first day, which proved how promising their new business was going to be. There were many happy customers that were quite satisfied with their food and service. The faunus staff also seemed to easily adapt to their new work as well.

In the kitchen, Sakura came up to report the day's work to her sister after making sure that all the cleaning outside was done.

"It looks like today was a success, Neesan."

Rin looked up from washing the utensils at the proud look of her younger sister.

"That's good," she nodded, sagely. "We'll need to able blend in with the masses, if we want to live peacefully here." She took a towel to dry her hands. "How were the customers?"

"Everyone was completely happy with us," answered Sakura. "Although, there was a problem with a customer after eating that Mapo Tofu you made." She looked remorseful at remembering the earlier incident. "I told you it was too spicy to eat, Neesan. I don't think we should really be serving something like that."

Rin reluctantly nodded her head at that. "I-It can't be helped. That rotten priest was the one who taught me how to make it. While I never actually wanted to eat it myself, he always said it was one of the only things in the world that moved his heart, so I thought having it as a special would be okay." Now that she thought about it, something that could actually move that monster's heart would probably have been anything but normal.

Sakura looked around the kitchen anticipating someone else to be there.

"Neesan? Where did Senpai go? Wasn't he just here cooking earlier?"

"Oh, he left a while ago once there were less customers, to help Saber clear out those Grimm at that place called Forever Fall," replied Rin.

Sakura was confused by this. "Isn't that place far away enough from here that those Grimm wouldn't be much of a threat?"

Rin nodded at her in agreement. "Yes, but there's something I want to test in that area, and for that to happen, I need a certain amount of space there to work on without getting harassed by those things." She displayed a mischievous sense of glee that could only appear whenever she thinks of gaining money. "If this works out, we may be able to increase our income as well."

Sakura smiled in unease at thinking about what her older sister has planned.

Inside a large old warehouse somewhere in the City of Vale, a meeting was taking place. Members of the White Fang can be seen briskly working throughout the entire place. They were busy with their preparations and organizing their tasks, as a woman stood impatiently in a corner of the building in front of one of the faunus there.

"Well? Have you found out anything?" she asked, impatiently.

"N-No, Ma'am," muttered the faunus nervously. "We haven't heard from him at all since he disappeared with a bunch of those new recruits to raid some more Dust shops."

Cinder Fall narrowed her eyes dangerously at the faunus in front of her, causing him to stiffen his posture.

"It's been weeks now, and are you telling me you don't have a single clue as to where he might be?"

The faunus hesitated before nodding his head slowly.

Cinder closed her eyes trying to stem her anger. Their plans will need to be delayed and adjusted to accommodate for a missing piece, and this is causing her more grief than she had anticipated.

After saying nothing for almost forever to the nervous faunus, Cinder exhaled and said, "Very well. You're dismissed. Do whatever else it is you do." Turning her back on the faunus and waving him off to look at a map of the city posted on a wall near her.

"So I guess he decided to bail on us, huh?" said a feminine voice.

Cinder turned to find her associate Emerald Sustrai and her partner Mercury Black walking up to her.

"We don't know that," answered Cinder. "Roman maybe a sleazebag but he's not the type who'd bail out on a lucrative business venture like the one we offered him."

Mercury rolled his eyes at that. "That guy only looks out for himself. If he managed to find out more than he was supposed to, I doubt he'd stick around long enough to wait until we've dealt with him."

Cinder frowned at that. She was fairly sure that Roman had no idea on just what their plans were, aside from his current assignment of stealing as much Dust as he can with the White Fang. But if he did manage to figure out the rest of their plans…

"Both of you only need to obey, not to think," she pointed out to them. "I'll smooth things out. Do you understand?"

Both Mercury and Emerald nodded obediently.

Cinder turned away from them and dismissed them. She needed to fix their current predicament first so that the next phases of their plan can proceed without any more hiccups. Worrying about what to do about Roman Torchwick, she can do that later.

A/N:

Really hope I didn't mess up the personalities too much of Team RWBY. If you find anything lacking, do please inform me.

In case anyone's wondering, this is set after The Badge and The Burden.

Next chapter may focus on Team JNPR and possibly Saber, she hasn't really gotten as much screen time as the rest of the Fate cast since her appearance. That really won't do, since she is one of the most fave characters in the series.

As always, please read and review.
