Our Wandering trio found their destination, looking at the mass of students, they knew that life started now. The serious atmosphere ended when….
Yang: (waving) Ruby! Bruce! Over here! I saved you two a spot!
Ruby: (to Jaune) Oh! Hey, w-we gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!
She grabs Bruce's hand and speeds over to her sister, dragging the boy around with her speed.
Bruce: EASY! 'so this is how criminals feel. Jeez'
Jaune: Hey, wait! (sighs) Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice group?! (He moves on to reveal Pyrrha standing behind him, hand on her hips as she watches him walk away.)
Yang: (once Ruby and Bruce joins her, she has her arms crossed) How's your first day going, little sister?
Ruby: You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?
Yang: Yikes! Meltdown already?
Bruce: No, she literally exploded a hole in front of the school!
Ruby: And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?
Yang: (smiling broadly) Are you guys being sarcastic?
Ruby: I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!
Weiss: You!
Ruby: (quickly jumping into her new friend's arms) Oh, God, it's happening again!
Weiss: You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!
Yang: Oh, my God, you really exploded...
Ruby: It was an accident. (getting down from a blushing Boy which yang took to notice and bring it up later) It was an accident! (Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled "DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals" to Ruby) What's this?
Weiss: The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field.
Ruby: Uuhhh...?
Bruce: Wait, what are we talking about?
Weiss: You really wanna start making things up to me?
Ruby: Absolutely?
Weiss: (handing the pamphlet to Ruby) Read this, and don't ever speak to me again. And you (pointing at Bruce, who just noticed she was there) Watch who you talk to, and never look at me!
Bruce: Fine by me, precious. (He stated coldly)
Yang: Look, uh, it sounds like you three just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?
Ruby: Yeah! Great idea, sis! (She holds out her hand as she clears her throat) Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna' hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!
Weiss: (seemingly enthusiastic) Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there! (Jaune, in the background, picks up on the mention) Or maybe dark, quiet and angry here! (Bruce seems to start growling)
Ruby: Wow, really?!
Weiss: (dead silence under her glare) No.
Bruce: You know wha….
The group's attention is drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpin is readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him.
Ozpin: I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. (as the students whisper among themselves) You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.
Glynda: (as Ozpin leaves, she steps up to talk) You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed.
Yang: He seemed kind of... off.
Ruby: It's almost like he wasn't even there. What do you think, Bruce?
Bruce was to busy looking at the direction the Headmaster and professor were walking. Ozpin made a slight movement that Bruce recognized.
Jaune: (approaching Weiss from the side) I'm a natural blond, you know!
Weiss puts her hand to her face in exasperation.
The first night at Beacon, students are splayed out in sleeping bags. Ruby, in her pajamas and with a sleeping mask around her head, is writing in a journal when Yang crashes next to her, similarly dressed.
Yang: It's like a big slumber party!
Ruby: (not looking up) I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though.
Yang: I know I do! (purrs as she watches several muscular, shirtless guys... and Jaune, dressed in feetie pajamas, waving to her, which makes her groan before she returns her attention to Ruby) What's that?
Ruby: A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going.
Yang: Aw, that's so cuuuute! (knocked back as a pillow is launched at her face)
Ruby: Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!
Yang: What about Jaune? He's... nice! There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase!
Ruby: (turning on her back) Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero...
Yang: There's no such things as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy! (hit with another pillow, this time looking like a dog, to the face) Look, it's only been one day. Trust me; you've got friends all around you! You just haven't met them yet!
Bruce: You forgot about me?
Ruby: Whu..(She looks at him for the first time tonight, and turned a brand new Red.) Ohh
Yang: My.
Bruce was standing above them in a muscle shirt that showed off his muscles very well. His Buff body was attracting the eyes of many in the room. Some with lust others with hatred, but Bruce didn't notice because… well, you know.
Yang: No one can forget you after seeing that body!(she stands up and slaps his pec, stinging her hand) Mama approves!
Bruce: (Blushing) Uhhh. O-kay? Ruby, are you feeling alright? You look like you are burning up.
Ruby: Huh? Ohh ahh, y-yeah. I am fine.
Bruce: Alright. Well, have you two met that girl over there.
The two sisters notice a candle being lighted nearby, and Blake Belladonna is seen leaning against a wall, reading her book.
Ruby: That girl...
Yang: You know her?
Ruby: Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything.
Yang: Well, now's your chance! (grabs Ruby's arm and lifts her up)
Ruby: Wait! What are you doing?!
Blake looks over her book to see Ruby unsuccessfully struggling against Yang's grip as she leads her sister over to Blake's spot with Bruce not too far behind.
Yang: (singing) Hel-looooo! I believe you two may know each other?
Blake: Aren't you... that girl that exploded?
Ruby: Uh, yeah! My name's Ruby! But you can just call me Crater... (smiles, embarrassed) Actually, you can just call me Ruby.
Bruce snorts at this, but is punched in the arm by Yang, making him look in the other direction.
Blake: (back in her book) Okay.
Yang: (whispering to Ruby) What are you doing?
Ruby: (whispering back) I don't know - help me! (goes back to smiling)
Bruce: (whispering to Yang) start some small talk.
Yang: So... What's your name?
Blake: (sighing as she's distracted yet again) Blake.
Yang: Well, Blake, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister. And this is Bruce! I like your bow!
Blake: (irritated) Thanks!
Yang: It goes great with your... pajamas!
Blake: Right...
Yang: (as Ruby laughs uncomfortably) Nice night, don't you think?
Blake: Yes - it's lovely! Almost as lovely as this book! (Ruby and Yang stand there) That I will continue to read. (Ruby and Yang continue standing) As soon as you leave!
Bruce: Aaaand, it's awkward.
Yang: (to Ruby) Yeah, this girl's a lost cause.
Ruby: (to Blake) What's it about?
Blake: (surprised) Huh?
Ruby: Your book. Does it have a name?
Blake: Well... i-it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body.
Yang: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah... That's real lovely!
Bruce: Shut up, It sounds like a good read.
Ruby: I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters... They're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress!
Blake: (laughing a little) And why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?
Bruce: (mumbling to himself) Another reason to do what I do.
Ruby: Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!
Blake: That's... very ambitious for a child. (her smile turns into a frown) Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.
Ruby: Well, that's why we're here! To make it better.
Bruce: Please, whatever happens, keep that innocence.
Yang: Oh, I am so proud of my baby sister! (hugs Ruby into the air)
Ruby: (kicking out) Cut it out! (the forced sisterly bonding evolves into a dust cloud of fighting limbs and flying stars)
Bruce: Calm down! ( he gets dragged into the fight, increasing the size of the smoke)
Blake: (laughing slightly) Well, Ruby, Bruce, Yang, it's a pleasure to ha-
Weiss: (storming onto the scene in her own pajamas as Ruby traps Yang's leg, and yang holds Bruce in a chock hold, as Bruce holds one of Ruby's arms behind her back) What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?
Bruce: Says the girl who is yelling.
Weiss and Yang: (at the sight of each other) Oh, not you again!
Ruby: Shh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!
Weiss: Oh, now you're on my side!
Ruby: I was always on your side!
Yang: Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!
Weiss: She's a hazard to my health!
Bruce: That's it. I am going to sleep (walking away)
Blake, who rolls her eyes at the fight, simply closes her book, reaches over to grab her candle, and blows it out, somehow turning off all of the lights in the room
2 hours later
In the middle of the night in Bruce's pocket, a bat-wave wakes him up (listen to this video for 6 second) He wakes up and tapes the screen.
Screen: Robbery at Schnee dust company, Faunus spotted.
Bruce: No rest for the wicked. Bat-Plane , pick up, Beacon academy, alert Ozpin.
He gets up and makes his way to the roof, what he didn't notice was our favorite Faunus's eyes looking at him as he retreats through the door. Her eyes wide as she remembers where she remembers that look from.
