It's time for Ruby and Oscar's new year at Beacon to begin and what better way to start off, than with a Yang?

Ruby and Oscar had woken up early, already accustomed to doing so.
"We still have a couple hours until we have to get ready." Ruby said.
"Yeah, still, I bet there's some food that they already put out in the dining hall, I'll head down and see if I can pick some up." Oscar offered.
"Thanks." Ruby said.
Oscar shivered from the morning cold, putting on his jacket before heading out.
As Ruby changed the water in the vase for the rose, she heard a ringing, her scroll notifying her that she was receiving a video call.
Ruby smiled, excited to hear from her sister.
Ruby leapt onto her bed, pressing accept on the digital screen.
Yang's face appeared on screen a second later.
"Hey, how's my sister doing on her first day?" Yang asked.
"I've been doing alright, I just woke up so, I don't really know how the classes are yet." Ruby said.
"Well, I'm sure Ren and Nora will be awesome." Yang told her.
"How did you know?" Ruby asked.
"They called us as soon as they got the jobs, Nora practically broke the speakers with how excited she was." Yang said.
Ruby giggled a bit at that.
"So, I heard that teams aren't a thing anymore but everyone still got roommates, who'd you get stuck with?" Yang asked.
"Are they nice or do I have to come down there and have a few words with them?" Yang asked, going into protective mode as she activated the gauntlet on her arm.
Ruby rolled her eyes at Yang.
"Don't worry, it's alright, I was lucky, if I ended up with some total stranger I probably would've ended up kind of a mess." Ruby said.
"Wait, it's someone you know?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, Oscar." Ruby said.
At that moment, the look on Yang's face was priceless.
It was like joy, anger, worry, confusion and amusement, all in one.
"Oh, that's great." Yang said, forcing the words out a bit.
After that, Ruby and Yang chatted away.
Yang told Ruby about how her and Blake were doing, how amazing Menagerie was and how great it was to settle down for a little while.
"Speaking of Blake, there's something I have to ask you." Ruby said.
Yang looked at her, curious by Ruby's sudden mood change.
"Sure, go ahead." Yang said.
As Ruby was about to speak, the door opened, Oscar walking in with a tray full of food.
"Hey, sorry it took me so long, I guess I'm still not used to this place." Oscar said.
"It's alright." Ruby said.
"Hey, Oscar, say hi to Yang." Ruby said, turning the screen so Yang could face him.
"Hey, long time no see." Yang said.
"Yeah, how've you been?" Oscar asked.
"Never better." Yang said.
"Hey, Oscar, I'm gonna go get washed up, then we can have breakfast." Ruby told him.
"It was nice seeing you Yang, talk to you later." Ruby said.
But as Ruby was about to end the call, Yang spoke up.
"Wait, Ruby." Yang said.
"Leave the call on, I want to talk to Oscar for a minute." Yang said.
"Okay." Ruby said, shrugging it off and not thinking much of it.
Ruby left, going into the bathroom, leaving Oscar to speak to Yang.
"What's up?" Oscar asked.
Yang just looked at him for a moment, Oscar almost thinking that the screen froze.
Finally, Yang spoke again.
"So, you and Ruby are living together." Yang said.
"What's been going on?" Yang asked.
Oscar started to grow a little nervous.
"Nothing." Oscar blurted out.
"That doesn't sound like nothing." Yang said.
"Nothing happened, I just found out Ruby was my roommate by surprise, we found out what classes we have together, I took her out to Vale and I bought her a flower and some cookies, that's all that happened." Oscar said, defensively.
"So you took her out into town and bought her sweets and flowers, if I didn't know any better, that sounds like a date, or at least you asking her out on one." Yang teased him.
Oscar started blushing, denying it to Yang.
Yang just chuckled in amusement, his reaction to her was just perfect.
"Look, it's alright, I know you and I know you won't do anything to hurt Ruby, I trust you." Yang reassured him.
Oscar smiled slightly, knowing Yang meant it.
"Just don't go too far, I'm not ready to be an aunt yet." Yang teased him again.
Oscar almost fell backwards when he heard that, blushing even more when Ruby walked out a second later.
"Hey, it's all yours." Ruby said.
"Thanks." Oscar said.
"So Ruby, Oscar tells me that you two found out you were roommates by surprise, I bet that went well." Yang said, in a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah, Oscar walking in on me was kind of embarrassing, but it all worked out so far." Ruby told her.
Oscar flinched in horror, mentally begging that Ruby not mention it again.
"What do you mean, walked in on?" Yang asked.
"Oh, I'd just gotten out of the shower when Oscar got to the room, I walked out while he was here, so yeah, that was a little awkward, Oscar didn't tell you?" Ruby mentioned.
"No, he seemed to leave out that little detail." Yang said, gritting her teeth, her hair starting to heat up.
"Okay, sorry Yang but we've gotta go, bye!" Oscar shouted, diving for the end call button.
As Yang disappeared from the screen, Oscar groaned, planting his face into the bed.
"What was that about?" Ruby asked.
"Nothing." Oscar said.
