Ruby stands at the counter in From Dust Till Dawn as Latias hugs her father. "You have fun now you hear? You don't need to be worrying about this old fool." Latias breaks away pouting. "I'll be fine. I ran this business before I adopted you so I'm sure I can do it again. Besides it's not truly goodbye. I'll always be right here... or at the noodles stand." Latias giggles sadly at her fathers joke.

Latias grabs her green backpack and waves. "Good luck out there. Stay out of trouble!" Latias smiles as she walks out with Ruby following.

"Your father's really nice." Ruby states. In response Latias nods. A little while later Ruby and Latias approach the transport to Beacon waiting just outside were two people. Both were blonds. The guy has two small strands of hair sticking out from the top and blue eyes. His facial hair consists of a soul patch and small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo of his emblem, which resembles a heart.

He wears brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, a red bandana on his left arm and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve cut off. Next to him is a fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and bright golden hair that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She wears a tan jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with her emblem on the left breast in black.

She also wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath this is a long, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A gray bandanna is tied around her left knee. With all of that she wears an orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves to complete her outfit.

Ruby's eyes light up upon seeing them. "Dad! Sis!"

"Hey kiddo!" Her father laughs. He then noticed Latias and his smile widens with pride. Thank the gods that Ruby was able to bring a friend. "Who's your friend?"

"Oh!" Ruby jumps in excitement. Latias giggles silently at the scene in front of her. "This is Latias." Ruby introduces.

"You mean the girl from the Dust shop?" Ruby's sister asks with a smile.

"Yup. Oh and before you say anything. Yes she is mute." Both Ruby's father and sister look slightly shocked at the news but their smiles return almost instantly.

"Oh I'm so proud of my baby sister!" The sister cheers crushing Ruby in a hug.

"Yang knock it off!"

The father chuckles as the girls start to brawl. He walks over to Latias and offers a handshake. "It's nice to meet you. My names Taiyang. I can't thank you enough for being friends with Ruby. She's always had an issue of making friends before, so this as you can imagine is a nice change of pace." Latias nods with a smile accepting the handshake.

A few moments later the trio said, or in Latias' case waved their goodbyes to Taiyang. Once they were boarded Latias catches a glimpse of the news on a holo tv, and decides to watch it. Ruby and Yang notice this quickly.

"Hey? You ok?" Ruby asks. She's interrupted by the News reporter beginning to talk.

"It seems that Vale is getting scarier out there lately as long known serial killer, the self named Lost Soul struck again last night. Luckily the Victims who's names have been withheld for privacy were able to defend themselves long enough for Beacon Professor Glenda Goodwitch to come to their aid." Ruby and Latias share a knowing look. "The attacker then disappeared and has once again slipped away from local authorities. At the same time last night notibal theif Roman Torchwick is suspected to have been the cause for a local Dust shop Robbery and continues to evade the authorities as well. Back to you Lisa."

"In other news, the Faunus Civil Rights protests turned dark yesterday when members of the

White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now..." The feed shuts off as the woman, Glenda Goodwitch, Ruby and Latias met last night appears as a hologram.

"Hello and welcome to Beacon Academy."
