Wow. I'd just like to say, thank you all so much for the support so far. It means a lot and I can't wait to write more for everyone. With that said, let's just get back to it, shall we?

As the weeks went by, Oscar's nervousness and excitement grew as he awaited what Beacon would offer.
When the day had finally arrived, he exited the airship, immediately seeing an all too familiar face.
"Ruby." He called out.
"Oscar!" She shouted.
Ruby instantly burst towards him with her semblance, tackling him to the ground, with a smile on her face.
"How've you been, I haven't seen you in awhile?" Ruby asked.
"It's been odd, to say the least." Oscar said.
"How about you?" Oscar asked.
"I've been holding up alright, it's been weird though." Ruby said.
"Yeah, going your whole life, living in a world full of beasts and monsters, then suddenly in the blink of an eye, everything's changed." Oscar said.
"Yeah…but for the better." Ruby said, cheerfully.
Oscar smiled and joined her as they walked through the main courtyard.
"So, where's everyone else?" Oscar asked.
Upon hearing him ask, Ruby's expression changed a bit, looking more saddened.
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" Oscar asked.
"No, it's alright, I'm just still a little upset they decided not to come back." Ruby told him.
"Why not?" Oscar asked, in surprise.
"They technically don't have to attend school now, and since the Grimm were mostly wiped out and barely surviving, they decided to journey out on their own." Ruby told him.
Oscar's focus was set solely on Ruby, sympathizing with her situation.
"With the field experience we had for those years, we probably would've graduated anyway." Ruby said, with a little laugh.
"So, what're they doing?" Oscar asked.
"Blake invited Yang to visit Menagerie with her, something about an arrangement." Ruby told him.
"An arrangement?" Oscar asked.
"Yeah, she said something about making up for lost time and then for some weird reason Yang was blushing the whole time." Ruby said.
Oscar stopped for a moment, but then started to chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Ruby asked.
Oscar regained his composure and cleared his throat.
"N-nothing, Ruby." Oscar said, finding Ruby's innocence amusing.
Ruby looked at him weirdly, but let it go for now.
"As for Weiss, I'm not sure, she said she would stop by to visit though." Ruby said.
"Well, it'll be good to see her again too." Oscar said.
As the two walked on, Oscar noticed something.
"Hey wait, if the others didn't have to attend, that means you don't have to either." Oscar pointed out.
"Yeah, but I chose to, I figured it'd be fun, and with you here it'll be much better than being alone." Ruby said.
Oscar smiled at Ruby's kind words, happy that they were going to be closer and get to know each other better.
However, in a few moments, he would find out it would be much closer than he had anticipated.
Later.
The two had parted ways earlier and found out that students would be attending individually and that no teams would be formed.
This seemed weird to them at first, but they didn't question it.
All the students were informed that they would be given roommates and that classes would start in two days.
All returning huntsman and huntress' were encouraged to help the new students prepare for initiation.
However, the real shock came during the opening announcements.
Jaune, Nora and Ren were all stood on stage, standing beside one another as the new headmaster spoke.
After all was said and done, Oscar had caught up to the three of them.
"Hey, it's so good to see all of you." Oscar said.
"Likewise." Ren said.
"So, what were you guys doing on stage?" Oscar asked.
"They wanted the staff to be at the new headmaster's side when inducting the new students." Jaune said.
"The staff?" Oscar asked.
"That's right, we're your teachers!" Nora said, excitedly.
"W-what?" Oscar stuttered.
"That's right, and you'd better be ready, because my combat class is gonna break you!" Nora shouted, grabbing Oscar by the collar and shaking him.
"Nora, I think he gets it." Ren said.
Nora let him go, grinning with excitement.
"I will be taking over for Dr. Oobleck and be teaching history." Ren told him.
"This will definitely be interesting." Oscar said.
"What about you Jaune?" Oscar asked.
Jaune looked away for a moment, mumbling something.
"What?" Oscar asked.
Jaune looked up and mumbled again, covering his mouth with his hand.
"I'm sorry, what?" Oscar asked again.
"I'm Nora's assistant." Jaune said, disappointedly.
"Why is that bad?" Oscar asked.
"He's just mad he didn't get a job like us, plus, he has to be my punching bag when we do demonstrations." Nora said, with a slightly evil expression.
Oscar winced, as if knowing Jaune's pain.
"Best of luck, Jaune." Oscar said.
The three of them bid him farewell for now, having to meet with the headmaster and Oscar went to find his dorm room.
Oscar had wandered about for a little while, the campus being bigger than he had thought.
Finally, he had found his dorm, using his scroll to unlock the door.
As he entered, he immediately heard the shower going.
"I guess my roommate's already here, I'd better make a good first impression." Oscar thought.
Oscar paced about nervously, stopping as the bathroom door opened.
When he turned to look, his gaze instantly froze in place, staring at the sight before him.
Standing there, right in front of him, was Ruby.
