An*Welcome to chapter 10. To think I have made it this far and I'm not near done. I don't know when I will cut this story off but it won't be soon. Anyway sop story over, good story resuming.

A pie to the face was not how I wanted to start my semester, but here we are. I have know idea who threw the first pie at the white witch but the ensuing food-fight between RWBY and JNPR was as legendary as it was destructive.

When I leaved the quarry this morning I did not expect to be greeted by Lance braiding Medusa's hair while having a conversation about... Men? The fact that the conversation apparently lasted long enough for Lance to braid the considerable length of Medusa's hair was astounding, either that or Lance was some sort of hair braiding master. The look of shock on Medusa's face when I walked in through the door did not distract from the thin ovular glasses she was wearing.

"Hey 'dusa what's with the-" I gestured to my own face to illustrate my point. The blush on her face slowly faded as confusion took over.

"You just walked in on me having the most embarrassing conversation in my entire life and your only concern... is that I'm wearing glasses?" She was visibly confused with a light dusting of a blush still lingering on her cheeks, it was honestly kind of cute.

"Oh, I'm getting to why your asking for advice about men from the largest teddy bear on Remnant instead of say-" I raised a scaled finger to the corner of my mouth in mock-thought-" your twin sisters, another female friend or your partner?" The brightening of the blush was confirmation enough of how embarrassed she was of the topic.

"And Lance, where did you learn how to braid such a large amount of hair?"

To see his shoulders shrug was like watching mountains move.

"My parents thought it would be a handy skill to learn."

"Well, your hair would probably be longer than mine if your body was roughly the same proportion, so yea probably true."

I stood of from the door frame and approached my bed across from where Lance and Medusa were sitting on. "Care to fill me in on your guy trouble?"

"Not really, no."

"Fine, Then care to tell me how long you have been wearing glasses?"

"What's with you and my glasses?"

A shrug "I just haven't seen you wearing glasses before."

"If you have to know I forgot my contacts at home."

"Your dodging the question."

She hardened a little and smacked the mattress in anger.

"Bad eyesight was one of the many birth defects I am cursed with. It turns out that mixing multiple DNA types doesn't always work out. Are you happy now."

I could feel myself deflate. "I actually feel really bad for making you say that. Can I make it up to you in any way?" She laughed a little, but I could see the rims of her glasses moving as she tried to hide her tears.

"We could go raid the cafeteria."

This is was the prompt which led us going to the cafeteria in the first place. We bumped Rán and team S.A.G.E along the way who cordially joined us for breakfast. I noticed how timid Medusa became around Grant while Lance tried to not-so-subtly shove the two closer together.

While Medusa's extremely subtle attempts to get to know Grant through... osmosis I guess, was failing, we arrived at the cafeteria.

After each team member grabbed their respective trays of food, myself offering up my dessert to Medusa as a peace offering, we sat near the doors in order of our team names. I sat across from Stheno, Medusa across from Aurel, Rán across from Grant and Lance across from Euryale. We ate in silence, that is, until the food-fight started. What started as a friendly meal broiled down into all out war between two teams. Thankfully Lance, Grant and Medusa (thanks for ruining the rhythm) used their superior size to meatshield the rest of us as we ran.

We somehow managed to shove the 6"9 faunus, and 6"2' human into our dorm room with 6 girls, of which only one could look them in the eyes without a step-stool, without it looking weird.

Rán and the 'younger-in-looks' two Gorgon sisters sat on her bed at the far-side of the room, Aurel and myself on my bed and our three saviors on Medusa's bed.

"That was an interesting development, but I can verify that none of us are injured." Euryale piped up while picking out some crumbs that landed in her hair. "Although, sister, your heartbeat is quite erratic." Medusa stiffened when Euryale directed her attention to her 'younger-in-seconds' sister, a blush slowly rising to her cheeks when her other sister also narrowed her eyes at Medusa and a wicked grin grew on her oh-so angelic face.

"It would seem our baby sister has feelings for someone." that devilish smirk only grew when the mental messages she received from her sister reached. "And yes you are threatening to petrify me should I tell this person, I'm going to take the high road and respect your wishes."

A quite "Thank you." was muttered from the third bed which was barely heard over the stifled giggles, or in the case of Stheno and Rán, full-blown laughter that filled the room.

"I think we should head back. S.A.G.E, with me." with that Stheno leaped up and directed her team out. When all her teammates disappeared into their dorm Stheno gave a uncharacteristically warm smile.

"You chose well, sister, don't mess it up."

The last thing I heard was the door clicking shut followed by a massive explosion.

Cliffhanger dun dun dun. Thank you for reading as always any criticism is welcome and appreciated.
