Hey everybody, It's-a me, Meme-io! So, I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who likes this story. As always, I own nothing except for my own characters.
[THIRD PERSON]
Night had fallen at the castle, and most (if not all) of the students were getting ready to sleep in the ballroom. Ruby, however, was writing a letter. Suddenly, Yang fell to the ground next to her, and said, "It's like a big slumber party!"
"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though." as Ruby said this, Yang was already looking around, eyeing up the males, like pieces of meat.
"I know I do." purred Yang. Then she saw Jaune walking around in a blue onesie. He stopped in the middle of her vision, and she looked a bit disgusted. "Eugh. What's that?" she asked, trying to get her mind off of the weird display.
"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon, and how things are going." Ruby was feeling a bit homesick now. 'What would they say about me now, living at Beacon?' she pondered.
"Aww, that's so cute!" Yang teased her.
Unfortunately for her, Ruby threw a pillow at her head. "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. Or that other guy, uh, Craig, was it? There you go, plus two friends! That's a 200 percent increase!" Yang was trying to put a positive spin on her situation.
"Pretty sure Weiss counts as a 'negative friend'. Back to one." Ruby was still pessimistic about what happened earlier that day.
"There's no such thing as 'negative friends', You just made two friends and one enemy!" as Yang said that, she got assaulted by another pillow. 'Where does she keep these?!' she thought. "Look, it's only been one day. Trust me, you've got friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet."
Then, the sisters heard the sound of a match being lit. They noticed a black-haired girl wearing an all black robe with white edges. "That girl…"
"You know her?" asked Yang.
"Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything."
"Well, now's your chance!" Yang grabbed Ruby by the arm, and dragged her to the spot the black-haired girl was reading.

"Ooh boy, this is gonna get loud." I said, turning to Gris.
"Wha- how would you know?" he asked.
"For one thing, Blondie over there looks like she doesn't really know the concept of an 'inside voice'. Two, did you see that Weiss girl earlier today? There's no way she would resist trying to tear Ruby a structurally superfluous new behind." (1)
"Should we do something?" he questioned.
"Hang on, I think I have an idea…" I said.
As the conversation between the trio continued, I silently set up shop. I summoned a lemonade stand-esque table with the words 'Noise reducing headphones, just 10 lien!' and waited. Sure enough, after a little while, the white-haired girl showed up and started verbally attacking Ruby.
"What in the world is going on over here!? Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!?" she shouted.
Around that time was when I started getting customers. Pretty soon, a bit of a line formed. Surprisingly, Gris was my first customer. He said, "Are you sure that imagination is your Semblance? Because right now, it's looking a bit more like prediction."
"A business man's gotta know his stuff, right?" I answered.
"Yeesh… fine, I'll take a pair."
"Thank you for your purchase, valued customer!" as he handed me the money, I conjured a pair of noise reducing headphones.
Jaune was my second customer. "Thanks, dude. That will definitely help."
"No problem, pal. Oh, little tip for next time, don't wear a blue onesie if something like this ever happens again, and you want to make a good first impression for the ladies." I said. Unfortunately for him, he put the headphones on before I could say anything.
The next two customers were two I didn't recognize. They both looked very tired. One had a lot of curly hair, (and I mean a LOT) and the other had a streak of her hair dyed blonde in the front, while the rest was brunette. They both just paid for their headphones, and left.
Eventually the fight died down, and the business along with it. I went to sleep with my bag now around 200 lien heavier.
Well, there we go! Another chapter down the drain. You may be thinking, "uploading two times in one day? (Or however long it takes me to finish this chapter) Absurd!" but I got hit by a wave of inspiration. I was originally planning on having Craig conjuring a huge speaker, and having a very loud Sr. Pelo scream break up the fight, but then I thought, "What would you do, as somebody who could literally make anything? Make money off of it, of course!" and so, the idea of the headphone stand was born.
