[My P.O.V.]

"Back at it again with the kick!" Libertus laughed along with the few other Glaives as I lightly bounced on my feet after I roundhouse kicked Nyx to the ground and laughed with them. It's April 4th, the day of my birthday and about three months since being stuck in this world, and less than a month away from the main plotline- just possibly enough time to get to know this world personally and the characters as well. So far, I earned friends with nearly the entire Glaive but there was a few who didn't trust me which I understood. They were like another family, Nyx and I grew to become sibling-like friends- we understood one another like two parts of a whole. Sometimes, Crowe had to drag us out of a fight that would almost end up breaking out because it was us being stubborn as hell because "the sidekick follows the hero" apparently. We could probably be called the Batman and Robin of Eos.

Yes, I did meet the Chocobros- I have been declared as Noctis' "favorite pillow" shortly after a month staying here. Gladio is fucking intimidating! I couldn't even speak when Noctis introduced me to him as I got shy really quick, but it's gone but I still am intimidating by the man. Prompto, dear Six he was the pure definition of cinnamon roll sunshine― nothing held him down. Then there's Mama Bearㅡ I mean, Ignis. Our relationship didn't start off well the moment I refused to eat broccoli. He's still trying to find a way to sneak them in dishes.

"Hey, Axis, what time is it?" I asked as I helped Nyx up and hiked up my pants. "It's almost noon," He answered quietly, picking his fingernails with his dagger before looking up. "Don't you have something with, uh… Leonis?" All the sudden I felt time stop as my eyes widen. "Oh shit…" I thought before pushing past people and grabbed my black leather vest with a black hoodie. "I need to go! Crap, crap, crap!" I shouted before putting my knee length, low-heeled black leather boots on with a hurry before running outside with a quick, "Bye guys!" Oh, Cor was gonna have my ass if I didn't make it in time.


[Nobody's P.O.V.]


RWBY Volume 1 OST: This Will Be The Day


They see you as small and helpless;

They see you as just a child

Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild


The young teen raced past servants and a few members of the Crownsguard, mumbling apologies as she ran. Some replied a "be careful" or even a "welcome" to Vicki as she rushed past people. Her hair had grown two inches longer the past two months, making her hair going from a quarter below shoulder to a little below shoulder blade length as it flowed freely.


Prepare for your greatest moments;

Prepare for your finest hour.

The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower.


"Sorry!" Vicki apologized with a quick bow as she bumped into Gladio's father, Clarus. "Do be careful, Snow." He said with a glare before glancing at the clock.


We are lightning,


"You have two minutes left."


Straying from the thunder,

Miracles of ancient wonder.


"FUCK!"

"Language!" He chastised before watching her run again and sighed before shaking his head. "What a mess." Clarus mumbled before continuing his short walk. "Just like how Regis use to be." He mused to himself.


This will be the day we've waited for.

This will be the day we open up the door.

I don't wanna hear your absolution;

Hope you're ready for a revolution.


Vicki slide down the handle of the long stairs on her bum and hands, greeting people as she slid down before landing with a twist and took a quick break before continuing her run.


Welcome to a world of new solutions.

Welcome to a world of bloody evolution.


"Five…" She counted the seconds left in her head. "Almost there…"


In time, your heart will open minds…


"Three… two…"


A story to be told–


"One!"


That victory is in a simple soul!


The doors to the training room burst open as Vicki made it in a second late, panting a little as she ran all the way to the room. "You're late, Snow." Cor called out with a serious look on his face. The brunette's shoulder slouched in defeat, snickering came from the fellow Crownsguard so-to-be official members as well as the two Chocobros, Noctis and Gladio. "Since you're late, you're going to be the "guinea pig" for an overall review in today's and final lesson." The older male spoke as she sighed and walked a few feet into the small arena. On the other side, Gladio walked and was a few meters from her.


[My P.O.V.]

"Now, defending yourself is an important part of battle as well as strategy and strength. One part of defending yourself is simply by dodging." Cor spoke as he was in the middle of the arena but on the side across from the other Guard members. He then nodded, signaling for us to start and then Gladio ran at me and swung his sword as I spun around him. We did this a few times, sometimes I had to jump back or roll under him to dodge as an example. "Another part of defending can be by blocking the attack itself." He then added after a few examples of dodging.

I smirked before flicking my wrist and summoning Crescent Rose, her scythe blade out as I heard someone mutter, "Show off." My eyes rolled at the comment- I was a bit of a show off anyways. Gladio came at me again before swinging his sword and then I blocked with Crescent's blade which then evolved to a dance of blocking each attack between the two of us before stopping. The review lesson went on for about thirty minutes before finally stopping. "Now that is all, do not forget your lessons as the new members of the Crownsguard. Dismissed." Everyone nodded and saluted to him before we all left the Marshal to himself.

~Later~

"Happy Sweet Sixteen!" Crowe said with everyone else as she pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back. It was a small party consisting of me, Crowe, Nyx, and the Chocobros of course(sadly Libertus wasn't able to go because of a "date"). We were at a little restaurant I found that was an equivalent of a Japanese steak house and sushi bar called "The Leviathan". To be honest, they were the only thing I had friends for. The other "friends" were just people wanting to get closer to Noct to get something out of me for it for having an association with the heir to the throne. Suddenly, a thought held my interest as I frowned. "My family…" I thought as I looked at the teriyaki chicken. "They're probably so worried that Dad must've grown more greys in his hair."

I missed my family a lot… my Mom's cooking, Dad yelling in frustration as he died again in his game, my little sister doing her in the living room and my baby brother laughing as he watched CoD playthroughs on YouTube when someone got frustrated. They probably miss me always being in my room, hearing Linkin Park or Skillet being blasted from my speaker, or me getting excited every time something new came up for one of my favorites video game series or tv shows. Maybe they–

"Hey, you alright?" Noctis poked my cheek with his chopstick before I ate his chicken. He pouted, "That was mine!" It then became a play-fight with chopsticks as Prompto said, "Noct it off you two!" We both glared at him for his pun before stealing some of his sushi. "H-hey guys!" He panicked and tried to get the two pieces back but we already took them. "First come, first serve, Prompt." Noctis responded before picking out his vegetables and putting them on Ignis' plate as said Specs rubbed his temples, clearly down with Noctis' shit. It made me laugh, making me forget a little about the sad thought that came into my mind before glancing up at the full moon.

"Everything was going to be interesting from here on out," I thought with a smile before going back to eating with everyone and laughing and talking. "I'll worry about the Fall later… for now, it's time to enjoy the little moments of happiness we all have before the night has come." Soon, we all were done and started heading back to our respective apartments. I reached my own I shared with Prompto whom didn't mind sharing as he had extra room. "After all…." I placed the new photo of all seven of us in it, smiling and having a good time before glancing up at my reflection.

The girl was no longer skinny, she was lean with small muscles standing 5'7" with brown hair. Her eyes had changed when she entered this world, a small gold ring circling around her pupil before it went to streaks of brown around it, taking up a small quarter of the eye before becoming crystal blue from some mysterious circumstances. Overall, that girl was the me now who has changed. I then glanced at the photo before picking it up again and smiling.

"They'll stand by me."
