Chapter: The First Day of School

Hey Lupus,

Today was my first day at Beacon Academy. And I exploded on the front lawn.

For starters, I'm fine. Absolutely fine. One hundred percent A-Okay.

… You still don't believe me? Well, you wanted to know if anything exciting happened! And, hey! I'm not in the hospital wing! So, yah! There!

But, honestly, the day's felt rather long since I got here. Yang ditched me as soon as we landed. Then I ran into the snow queen, dust went everywhere, and I sneezed and then kaboom!

It wasn't pretty…

;;;

Weiss watches with no amusement as something in the redhead finally snaps. "Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!"

"It's heiress, actually," says a woman off to the side. The two watch as the black haired lady makes her way towards them. A half-look glanced at said heiress. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

Weiss can't stop the large, smug look on her face as she looks from the woman who said her soulmate's words to the little girl. "Finally! Some recognition!"

The black haired woman continues. "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."

Okay. So, not soulmate. Weiss sputters and stalks off, feeling more disappointed than angry. Her soulmate is supposed to be in awe of her. Treat her with respect. Fear her power and ability.

Her soulmate is definitely not some stupid bow-wearing, equality preaching lady with a binding fetish.

Seriously, how can that woman breathe!

;;;

I met some really nice people afterwards, though! Coco and Fox helped me and Jaune find the announcement hall! Coco offered to show us around, and Yang found us and joined in! Yang and Coco are even going to hang out this weekend. They both love shopping at the same stores in Vale, so they really hit it off. Fox is cool, too. He doesn't say much though.

Oh! I met this really cool – a little broody – woman named Blake! She's got her cat ears tucked under her bow, so I can't tell whether they're as cool as your ears. She kind of reminds me of your sister, with the books she reads. A bit too dark and smutty for me.

;;;

"Hel-looooo!"

Blake looks up.

She first registers the girl that exploded that afternoon.

Then she sees the blonde.

Bubbly is a very fitting way to describe her.

Bouncy works too.

And, as much as she tries to not get attached, she lets slip a smile when the blonde turns a full smile on her.

Soulmate indeed.

;;;

Annnnd, that's pretty much my day. Oh! My parents got me a new headset! My last one kind of… uh, how about I tell you that story later? It has to do with why I'm at Beacon instead of Signal. Nothing to worry about.

How is everything in Vacuo? Did you have a great first day? How is your family? What's it been like since the new schedule started?

Write back soon! I'm sending you my Scroll account, so look me up! Having it makes me feel like a real Huntress, hahaha!

Your Pen Pal with an Explosive Personality,

Ruby

A/N: Thanks for reading! Hope people enjoyed this and the next chapter.

Thank you, Azoth, for your review! The short of it is that Askans Guide is a branch of Signal Academy that works on control for those with a Broken Semblance (or Fracture Aura). Danny founded and runs the program, and named it Askans in memory of the nomad that raised her. More will be explained as the story goes on, but feel free to ask any more questions. Thank you again for reviewing, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Thank you, Littlest1, for your review! Yatsuhashi probably had the most unexpected of the team. It won't be the strangest combination, though. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and thank you again for reviewing!

Hope everyone has a great June
