If you've got an idea for a drabble; feel free to fire me a PM / review or even answer on my ask blog on Tumblr (ask-manda-of-the-6)!

I'm kinda running out of ideas... :P

Drabble location in R.W.B.Y. timeline: Between Volume 1, Episode 8: Players and Pieces and Episode 9: The Badge and the Burden Part 1

Basic Scenario: After their grueling initiation, the members of the newly formed Team JNPR get to know each other while putting their shared dorm room in order.

*BOOP*

"Oh boy," the blond-haired boy -Jaune was it?- groaned as they made their way down the hallway, "I sure hope we don't have to do that again."

"That was just the beginning, silly!" Nora good-naturedly, although a bit too forcefully, clapped Jaune on the back and nearly sent him sprawling, "We've got loads of Grimm to beat up before we're through, right Ren?"

He nodded, carrying his backpack on one shoulder and glancing at the other girl on their team, Pyrrha. The bronze-clad warrior smiled gently in response.

"Huh." Jaune stopped suddenly, "I swear I remember passing by that painting before..." he pointed to a rendering of the picturesque forest, Forever Fall.

Ren stifled a groan, barely a few hours as a team and their leader was already getting them lost.

"Let me see the map," Pyrrha strode forward, looking over Jaune's shoulder at his scroll. "Well, um- perhaps if we go this way."

"Uh oh!" Nora swung her duffel bag, "Guess we're lost." She smirked, "Too bad we don't have any trees to hug while we stay in one place." She unexpectedly latched onto him, "You're green enough to be a tree, Ren!"

"Nora..." Ren felt the heat rising to his face as he tried to breathe properly.

Jaune and Pyrrha had abandoned the map and were watching them closely.

"Then again!" Nora had already hopped off of him without noticing anything, "they always say that adventures are started when you get lost!" She punched the air, "we're to be daring explorers, raising new trails!"

"Blazing." He corrected.

"That too!" Nora continued. "But don't worry, 'cause Ren and I have a super-secret sloth call that we can teach you in case we get separated-"

Ren pulled out his scroll while Nora babbled on. He pinpointed the location of their dorm room; they had just taken a wrong turn at the last T-junction.

Shaking his head, he turned around and started off in the right direction. He was too tired from his aura usage during Initiation to be wasting time wandering the corridors.

"Well, it looks like Ren's our designated navigator!" Nora turned on her heel and hurried after him.

It took Pyrrha and Jaune a moment to process all that had happened before they followed.

*BOOP*

A couple of correct turns -and a few attempts at getting the door open- later, Team JNPR had finally arrived at their dormitory.

"Hurraaaaaay!" Nora opened her arms and leaped onto the nearest bed, "Home Sweet Home!" She looked upside-down up at her teammates, "at least for the next four years."

Ren flopped onto the bed next to Nora's, debating whether he should take a much desired nap.

Nora giggled, "Wakey wakey, sleepyhead!" She hopped off of her bed and landed next to him, "we've still got to unpack." She poked his side.

"So Nora," Jaune had set his bag down on one of the remaining beds, "Exactly how long have you and Ren known each other?"

Nora rolled right-side up, "Like since forever!" She smiled, "I can't even remember a time when we weren't together..." She caught herself, "Um- But not like together-together." She giggled.

"Riiiight." Ren could hear the skepticism in Jaune's voice.

Ren was used to people mistaking him and Nora as being boyfriend and girlfriend; particularly with how affectionate Nora could be.

"What about you two?" Nora pushed against the mattress, propping her head up on her hands, "How long have you know each other?"

"Actually," Pyrrha glanced at Jaune, "we had just met earlier today."

"Well, you make a pretty good match-up," Nora blurted, "I mean- as partners." She began babbling, "you know, like fighting partners..." she giggled nervously, "Like me and Ren!"

"I've still definitely got a long way to go." Jaune groaned.

"We've still got four years worth of training before we're officially Huntsmen and Huntresses," Pyrrha stated, "I'm sure you'll be able to develop your skills, Jaune; all of us will."

"I guess..." Jaune sighed.

Ren raised an eyebrow at Jaune's pessimism.

Was it simply nervousness from being assigned the leadership role of their team? Did he just get this way because he was still tired from the Initiation? Or was there something else that was responsible for his feelings of unpreparedness?

Ren was distracted from his thoughts by Nora idly playing with his ponytail while humming softly.

"Oh, by the way, Jaune," Pyrrha had nearly finished unpacking her clothing, "I noticed a picture on your scroll when we were looking at the map."

"You mean this?" Jaune held up the device, showing off a large group photo, "that's my family: see there are my parents," he pointed out, "and my seven sisters."

"My goodness!" Pyrrha smiled, "Seven?"

"Wow!" Ren could hear the jaw-drop in Nora's voice. "That's a huuuuuuge family! You must go through a lot of pancakes."

Ren smirked, leave it to Nora to bring the conversation back to pancakes...

"Yeah, it's pretty big." Jaune rubbed the back of his neck.

"What about you Pyrrha?" Nora asked, "What's your family like?"

"Well it's not quite as large," Pyrrha stated, "but my mother just loves telling stories."

Jaune gasped, interrupting the redhead from continuing, "Is that the latest issue of X-Ray and Vav?" he pointed at a comic book in Pyrrha's hand.

"It is..." Pyrrha flushed but showed it off, "you're a fan, Jaune?"

"Of course!" Jaune pulled out an X-Ray and Vav poster from his backpack, "since Issue One was released!"

Ren could hear Nora's poorly-stifled giggle close by while their two teammates geeked-out over the comic series. He looked up from his pillow and saw Nora's face only inches from his.

"This is going be the greatest!" She whispered with a smile.

The pink-clad ball of energy bounced off of his bed, landing back-first on her claimed bed with a laugh.

Ren couldn't help but smile, rolling onto his back and allowing himself to close his eyes.

At the very least -with these teammates- he was sure that the years would be... interesting.
