I know that its really late to say this but I'm going to do it anyway.

Happy New year, everyone!

Here's the first chapter of the year, please enjoy.

"I don't get it" Noren said "You knew that we were going to board a ship. How could you forget your medicine?"

"For the last time Nen. I was in a hurry and I just forget it in my room"

After a quick visit to the infarmary, Jenny was feeling better but Noren had been bothering her with the same question for the last ten minutes.

Raven and Mia were talking with each other about how most of the students, by just looking at them, already knew who their parents were. On their way to the infarmary more than one person quickly identified Jenny as Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos' daugther. There were people talking about Mia and Summer´s resemble with Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose. When someone asked Noren if he was related to Lie Ren or Nora Valkyrie he quickly said that they were his parents and when Raven heard a pair of guys talking about her resemble with Blake Belladonna she told them that she was one of her mothers.

That had been a little awkward for Raven, Summer and Jenny but Mia and Noren really liked to know that they parents where famous in the school.

"I knew that mom and dad were famous around here but I never expected them to be that famous" Mia said to her twin.

"Same but I must admit it, is nice to know that mama and dad are knowed and respected here" Raven turned to see Summer "Still no signal of her"

"No" Summer said "She still have some time before the speech start. I hope she can make it"

No one had seen Silver since they landed although they had been the ones who planed leaving her alone, want it or no Silver needed to interact with more people, but now Summer was feeling bad with herself for having left her sister alone. Silver knew her way arround the school, it was very unlikely for her to get lost. Suddenly some people began to murmur about how a little girl who looked like Weiss Schnee had entered to the auditorium, it was obvious that they were talking about Silver.

In a matter of seconds Summer found her little sister hugging her and then Silver happily told them how she had helped someone. She quickly complained about the fact that they had leave her alone, though. Silver forgave Jenny because she really needed to go to the infarmary. The students keep talking with each other until a blonde woman appeared in front of them and asked them to be quiet.

"Nice to meet you all, my name is Glynda Goodwitch, I used to be a teacher but right now you can say that I'm some sort of sub-headmister. The headmaster was supposed to give you this speech but he had a last-minute reunion with someone, please excuse him. Leave me be first member of the school staff to congratulate you. Today is the day in which all of you are taking the first step to become huntsman and huntresses and with that said, I need to give some announcements.

"It will sound a bit uncomfortable but all of you will sleep here today, tomorrow I want you in the cliff near the Emerald Forret at ten o'clock, if you don't know how to get there please feel free to ask a teacher. We have assigned each and every one of you a locker, after dinner please leave your things and weapons in there.

"As everyone should know, the Vytal Tournament won't take place until next year. If any of you are wondering why, due certain circumstances of the past the tournament had to be postponed for a whole year. That disorganized things a little and it took some time to reorganize everything. We're going to have a "Welcome dance" for you in two months, though"

Glynda began to look around, obviously, there were a lot of new faces, a lot of boys, a lot of girls, a lot of potential, a lot future huntsman and huntresses. She continued to see the new students until she found what she was looking for. It had been years but she had not been able to forget those faces, those four faces that had helped to create that peacefull future, she smiled at them, a little smile that was hard to notice.

"I can't wait to see what you achieve in the next four years"

After that she asked the students to follow her to the mess hall to have dinner. Jenny and Noren began to talk about how Glynda had been a teacher when their parents studied there and where amazed of how she had hardly aged. Summer, Silver, Raven and Mia decided to stay a little behind. They turned to see each other with the same question in their heads.

Did Glynda smiled at them?

The look on her face when she saw them….she looked glad.

Well, she was there when their parents were students maybe she was just happy to be able to be there for the next generation. At least that was what the girls decided to thought.

"Left, left, left. Okay, now right. Wait! A little step foward, now right….wait it was left"

Noren was standing on Mia's shoulder and she was grabing her friend´s legs to make sure he did not fall. Summer, Raven and Jenny were trying to ignore them. Silver was telling Mia to be careful and the rest of the students were amazed of how easly Mia could carry Noren.

After dinner all the students returned to the auditórium and after receiving pillows and blankets all of them decided to found a place to sleep.

In the beginning they had been talking about what they would learn in the next four years, Silver was complaining about leaving Petal Dance in the locker, talking with her about random things quickly made her forget that. Eventually they began to talk about their parents and decided to call them to tell them that their first day at the school had been good but there were not signal in their Scrolls and, of course, Mia and Nen would not give up that easly.

And that is how we get to the current situation.

"Mia, please stop" Raven said to her twin "You and Nen could break a bone"

"That won't happen to us!" they cry.

"Yeah, sure" Jenny said sarcastically and turned to see Summer after that "I remember Aunt Nora said that the signal here was really bad, I thought that she was joking"

"If you ask me, the leak of signa lis actually a good think, we're going to form teams tomorro. If there were signal, then, most of the people here will be playing in their Scrolls instead of talk with each other"

Hearing the word "teams" made Silver's body tense, she had been able to hold a conversation with Ulysses but doing that again with another person was to much for her. There were a lot of bad case scenarios in her little head right now. What if her partner did not like her? What if her future team did not like her? As long as she had her sister, her cousins and her two friends, Silver did not need more friends but if she was going to work as a hunter she needed to be more social. She knows that but still…

Summer, Raven and Jenny quickly noticed Silver's state and they cold not blame her. She was shy, very shy, and she needed to talk with new people the next day, tomorrow was going to be a very rough day for Silver. Summer began to pat her sister's head, she would like to be her partner or at least be on the same team but that was something that she could not control or decide. Raven and Jenny were giving her some words of support, they were thinking the same as Summer, Silver had always been the little baby sister of the group and the idea of leaving her alone with people that they did not know was not very comfortable. And for Silver, she was more than sure that she would not be able to sleep that night.

Although she was busy helping Noren trying to get some signal Mia was able to notice how worried Silver was. Raven was her twin, Nen was her best friend and, althought they were younger, Mia hardly saw Summer and Jenny as little sisters. As one of the many "Big sister" figures that Silver had, she needed to do something. Mia could help her to make two or three friends, there were a lot of people talking in groups but Mia would like to found someone who was alone.

Mia began to look around and if her memory was not failing her, Silver had told them that she had been able to talk with someone. Ulysses or something like that, black-hair and green eyes, Mia quickly began to look for him but, alas, there were a lot of black hair people. Several minutes passed until Mia was able to found someone who was alone, it was a girl, she was sitting in a corner reading a book. Great, Silver could make a new friend now

"Hey Nen" Mia said, he did not look at her but made a noise indicating that he was listening "Sorry but I'm leaving you, my lil' cousin needs me"

"Don't worry, I can do this on my own. Now, go and help Silver!"

"Yes, Sir!"

In less than one minute, Silver was "kidnapped" by Mia. The only think that Mia told her was the she will help her to make some friends. Silver began to feel nervous when she noticed how they were approaching a girl with gray hair and a black wool cap. Silver grabbed Mia's arm and told her that the girl was reading and that they would only bother her but Mia told her to leave everything in her hands. With Silver some centimeter behind her Mia approached the girl.

"Hello!" Mia said "My name is Mia and she's my cousin Silver, nice to meet you"

The girl did not even turn to see her but Mia keep talking.

"Hey, I like your wool cap, it goes with your hair"

Again, she did not get any answer. Once again Silver told her that maybe they were just bothering her and insisted on leaving her alone but Mia was not going to give up so easily. She approached the girl, and making sure that Silver was not listening, she told her the next.

"Listen, my cousin is pretty shy and she is very worried about tomorrow. Can you talk with her and make her gain some confidence, please?"

"Are you going to stop bothering me if I do that?"

Hearing that girl talk all of sudden surprised Mia but she nodded. The gray-haired girl sighed, closed her book and then she turn to see Silver and eventually Mia too. The girl had blue eyes and a scar under her right eye.

"Egrid Ramgiar" she said "That's my name"

"N-nice to meet you Egrid. I-I'm Silver"

"I already knew that"

Silver's face turned red and Mia quickly decided to improvise, she asked Egrid about the book that she had been reading.

Egrid told them that the book was about a boy and a girl who died the same day and at the same time, one year after the incident they are given the opportunity to revive but just one of them can be revived. The story premise was basically made the reader think about what was more important, your own life or someone else's. Mia said that she had read the book a pretty long time ago and it had been a very good read, she was not a person who liked to give spoilers, so, she did not talk much about her opinion of the story.

Egrid said that Mia did not look like a reading-type person but Mia just laughed because that was no the first time that she heard something like that. Egrid turned to see Silver, after all, the whole reason of why she was talking with them was because of the reddish-white haired girl. Silver looked thoughtful.

"My life of someone else's…" she said "Isn't that a way too psychological question? I mean, a lot of people would say that someone else's live is more important but if they are put in the same situation as the main characters of the book they would quickly say that their lives are more important. That actually makes you think about people's true nature"

"And that's what the author was trying to achive with the story" Egrid said with a smile on her face "What you say when that question is given to you is not exactly what you would do if you were in the main characters' situation"

"I see! The author decided to put the characters throught a psychological journey in order to show their true nature"

"The fact that you manage to deduce that without reading the book is impressive"

Mia was really happy and proud with herself, she had helped her cousin to make a new friend, kind of. It seemed like Egrid saw something behind them becuase she asked "Do you her?" but before Mia or Silver could turn around, they heard Raven's voice. She was telling them that Noren had managed to get some signal and that he wanted to take a photo of everyone to send it to his parents.

"Oh, yeah!" Silver said and turned Egrid "Egrid, she is Raven, my older cousin. Raven, she is Egrid"

"Nice to meet you and also…" Raven put her left hand on her sister's head, after that she forced Mia to bend her head down, that was hoe she usually force Mia to apologize "If my little sister was bothering you in some sort of way, please forgive her"

"Sis, stop! I wasn't botering her!"

"Sisters? Like, blood-sisters? "Egrid said.

No one could blame her for what she had said, after all despite being sister Raven and Mia do not look alike. Mia hair was black while Raven was blonde, Mia had purple eyes while Raven's eyes were red, they did no have similar features and the more important difference, Raven had cat-ears and Mia did not. But in the twins' defense, Summer and Silver also have the same problem, aside for the little red parts on Silver's hair, the Rose-Schnee sisters did not look alike either.

"We're twins" Mia said to Egrid "Fraternal twins actually, you know 'Cus we don't look alike and before you ask, yes. We're half-faunus, Raven got the ears and I got the ability to see in the dark"

"Makes sense" Egrid said, she took her book to continue with her reading "Hey, wasn't your friend waiting you to take picture?"

Mia and Silver looked at each other and remembered how bad Nen's patience was, they took Raven by her arms and said "Bye" to Egrid. Raven was able to noticed how Egrid looked calm after they left, she thought that the girl really liked to be alone but maybe she just wanted to finish her book, who knows.

"Hey, Raven" Silver said "Where's Nen?"

Their friend was nowhere to be found. Raven sighed and pointed to Summer and Jenny, they were looking at the ceiling and when Silver and Mia decided to do the same…..they found Nen hanging from a chandelier.

They did not know how he got there without help and they definitely did not want to know.

In the beginning Summer and Jenny beg him to get down but he refused to do it since he had finally get signal to take and send a picture together with a message. Raven decided to go for Mia and Silver, take the picture and get Nen dowm from theere. The wanted to made that as quickly as posible because they could feel how everyone was looking at them, Nen really knows how to draw attention.

"Hey, Nen!" Summer cry "Please tell us that you know how to get down!"

"Don't worry!" he said and turned to see Mia "I trust you to catch me!"

Mia answer was "Sure!" The rest of the group was not going to complain about Noren's "brillant" idea to get down because well…that would not be the first time thet Nen and Mia do something like that. Noren asked them to pose for his Scroll camera, he take the picture and then he send it to his parents with the next message.

We had an awesome first day. We can't wait to meet our partners and teams tomorrow, wish us luck!

Also, please send this to my aunts and uncle.

The next morning, when the group of friends checked their parents' response, everyone had wished them luck and the following question.

What was Nen doing when he took the picture?

The first day of the children at Beacon was certanly a day to be remembered.

And with this the first day at Beacon story is over, also, Jenny, Noren, Ulysses and Egrid's character profile are up. Check them out if you want, I'm thinking about making another Beacon related chapter, the full story of the kids forming their teams, but I'm still thinking about foing that because I want to write another "Nanny Roman" chapter, I'll think carefully about it.

Anyway, I hope everyone had enjoyed, leave a review, fav or follow and see you next time.

Atte. Kaze.
