*Sigh* sorry I haven't uploaded for a while. I really hate my internet...

Spring once again had her headphones on and her hood up. Her favourite song was playing, it had powerful lyrics about a girl and her mom who died - it reminded her about her sisters and herself, as she looked at Beacon. There was no other way to say it, Beacon was beautiful. Problem was, she had no idea where to go. Damn it, I'll have to talk to someone. She carried on walking when,

"Hey!" She bumped into somebody. She stopped but didn't look up.

"Rude and blind! Where do your problems end?!"

"Hopefully with you." Spring mumbled.

"What did you say?" The obnoxious voice asked.

"I said, hopefully with you!" Spring shouted, throwing her hands in the air. Everyone in the courtyard turned to face them. Spring quickly retreated under her cloak. "Look, I just need to know where the locker room is. I don't need this kind of shit today."

"Wait a minute, Spring is that you?" The girl in black finally looked up.

"Weiss!" She exclaimed with a smile. Spring hadn't seen one of her sisters' two best friends in ages.

"How have you been Birdie?" People looked on in wonder as the Ice Queen herself conversed with somebody, who had bumped into her, pleasantly.

"Good."

Some people thought, 'What kind of magic is this?" others, 'I must be dreaming.' Some of the happier students 'Where does she get shit that good?'

"Sorry about that, not exactly having the best of days myself so far. Are you about to go into the Emerald Forest?" Weiss asked.

"It's ok I understand and yes, I just need to go to the locker room to pick up my stuff and then of I go prancing into the woods. Problem is, when we put our stuff in there we went a different route and with a guide." They walked on a bit.

"Ok," said Weiss. "I'll wait out here. Go get your stuff and I'll take you to the cliffs."

"Thanks Weiss!"

Spring peered over the edge of the cliff at the emerald green forest below. She knew to horrors that lay in front of her and yet – she smiled. She had, practically, been raised by Grimm rather than human or faunus; at least, that's what her Uncle Qrow always said.

"Welcome, children," Professor Ozpin stepped into view of the hunters-in-training, equipped with his usual cup of coffee and cane. "You have worked hard to be standing here today but you will need to overcome one last obstacle – the Emerald Forest. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die." Apparently Ozpin's speech changed slightly every year all except for that last line. Ruby had repeated the speech enough times. Spring zoned out of Glynda Goodwitch's speech. Then the first mechanical clank could be heard and Spring looked around; students started to fly through the air towards the tree canopy. She got into a ready position – as if she was about to start a race – and readied her gauntlets. Her launcher clicked and she was flung towards the sea of green.
