Chapter 4: Meeting New Friends

Sometime after walking around the school, and getting lost, Ruby, Jaune, and Jellal walked into the school's amphitheater and saw that nearly every student that are attending were there. Nearby, Yang spotted the trio and waved at them. "Ruby! Jellal! Over here! I saved you both spots!"

Jellal walked over to her as Ruby turned to Jaune. "Hey, I gotta go. I'll see you after the ceremony!" She then ran to Yang as Jaune tried to stop her. "Hey wait!" He then sighed. "Great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?" As he walked away, a girl with red hair that was in a ponytail wearing gold Greek-styled armor was watching him walk away.

Ruby and Jellal were now standing next to Yang. Suddenly, Natsu appeared out of nowhere and pulled Yang into a hug while Kratos and Rai stood near them. "Hey guys! We found you!" Yang laughed as she pushed him off her.

"Hello there. I remember see you guys on the airship. I'm Yang, Ruby's sister.", she said as she extended her hand.

Natsu smiled as he shook her hand. "What's up? I'm Natsu. The cool one of the group." Rai then shoved him to the side. "Ignore him. He just likes to show off. I'm Raitsumaru, but everyone calls me Rai." Kratos waved at Yang. "Kratos. His brother."

Yang kept her smile and nodded to the trio before turning to her little sister. "How's your first day going, little sister?"Ruby then turned to her with an angry look on her face and her arms crossed. "You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?"

"Yikes. meltdown already?", Yang asked. "No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school. And there was some fire...and I think some ice..." Hearing this, Natsu started laughing. "You exploded? That's awesome! I should of been there!" Yang then smiled at her. "Are you being sarcastic?" Ruby then scoffed, but little did she know that a certain white-haired girl was standing right behind her.

"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 again. And I felt really, really bad and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!" The more she talked about the event that happened in front of the school, the more Weiss became angry. "You!" Ruby screamed and jumped into Natsu's arms.

"Oh god, it's happening again!" Natsu was now laughing while holding her in his arms. "You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!", Weiss said angrily.

Yang was now surprised at what she just said. "Oh my god, you really exploded..." With Natsu setting her down on her feet, Ruby turned to Weiss with a scared look. "It was an accident!" Weiss suddenly held up a Dust pamphlet in front of her. "What's this?"

"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product." But the more she talked about Dust, the more high pitched her voice got, though it only sounded like that in Ruby's head.

"Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust application and practice in the field." Even Natsu was confused as to what she was saying. This girl is hard to understand. Reminds me so much like Lucy and Erza combined.

Ruby stared at the pamphlet before looking up at Weiss. "Uhhh..."

"You really want to start making things up to me?", Weiss asked. "Absolutely.", Ruby replied, though she sounded scared. Weiss then gave her the pamphlet. "Read this and don't ever speak to me again." Yang soon interrupted them as she scratched the back of her hair. "Look, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you just start over and try to be friends, okay?"

Ruby ended up smiling at the idea and turned back to Weiss. "Yeah! Great idea, Sis!" She then extended her hand. "Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby. Want to hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies."

"Yeah!", Weiss mocked, holding up her hands in gestures. "And we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys, like tall, blonde, and...scraggly over there!" She then pointed her thumb at Jaune, who was in the background and was confused. "Hmm?"

Ruby smiled big. "Oh wow! Really?" Weiss then looked angry. "No."

Natsu then leaned over to Yang. "Looks like someone's had a big bowl of grumpy this morning..." Yang laughed after hearing him. Unfortunately, Weiss heard that too. "I heard that!" Natsu and Yang were now laughing out loud, but soon, Ozpin came up stage to give a speech.

"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. 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."

As he walked off stage, Glynda stepped up to the mic. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation will begin. Be ready. You are dismissed."

Yang looked at the others while placing her hands on her waist. "He seemed kind of...off. It's almost like he wasn't even there." Jaune soon approached the group and smiled before pointing his thumb at himself. "I'm a natural blond, you know."

Later that night

Every had gathered in the ballroom like they were told to. Some had already gone to bed while others were still asleep. Ruby was laying on her sleeping bag while writing something in her journal.

Yang laid down right next to her. "It's like a big slumber party!"

"I don't thing Dad would approve of all the boy though.", Ruby replied while still writing. Yang winked. "I know I do."

Some of the guys there were shirtless, but Jaune, who was humming and walking by, was wearing a blue onesie with rabbit ears on the feet.

Nearby, Kratos and Jellal had fallen asleep in their sleeping bags while Natsu and Rai were just horsing around like the idiots they were. "Hahahaha!", Natsu laughed as he pinned Rai to the floor. "Okay, you got me, man!" Laughing, Natsu let him go before walking over to where the sisters were and saw what Ruby was doing. "What'cha doing there?"

"A letter to the gang back at Signal.", Ruby said to him. "I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."

Yang smiled at this. "Aww, that's so cuuute!" Suddenly, Ruby threw her pillow at Yang and it hit her in the face. "Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here."

"What about Jaune? He's...nice. There you go! Plus one friend! That's 100% increase!", Yang told her.

Ruby eventually laid down on her back. "I'm pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero." Natsu then sat down next to her. "What am I? An acorn? I'm your friend and so are my friends."

Yang nodded in agreement. "Look, it's only been one day. Trust me. You got friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet."

As Ruby thought about this, she heard the striking sound of a match and sat up to see Blake sitting in a corner and reading a book. She had lit herself a candle so that she could do some reading. "That girl..."

"You know her?", Yang asked.

"Not really.", Ruby replied. "She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything."

Yang then smirked and stood up, grabbing Ruby and making her stand up as well. "Well, now's your chance!" She started dragging her.

"Wait! What are you doing?!"

Natsu soon started laughing as he stood up with them and followed after them. "Wait for me!"

Blake soon looked up from her book and took sight of the trio walking towards her. "Hellooooo!", Yang cheered. Ruby managed to free herself from her sister's grip. "I believe you two may know each other."

"Aren't you the girl that exploded?", Blake questioned to Ruby. "Uh yeah." She then extended her hand to her. "My name's Ruby." Blake just stared back at her book. "But, you can just call me Crater..." Scratching the back of her head, she sighed. "Actually, you can just call me Ruby..."

Natsu then leaned over to her, trying not to laugh. "Crater?"

"That's half the nickname Jaune gave me..."

Blake continued reading her book. "Okay."

"What are you doing?", Yang whispered to her. "I don't know, help me!", Ruby whispered back.

Yang turned her attention towards Blake while smiling. "So...What's your name?" Blake ended up sighing and looked at her. "Blake." Yang kept her smile and pointed her thumb at herself. "Well, Blake, I'm Yang. Ruby's older sister." Natsu waved his hand at her. "And I'm Natsu. Their new friend."

"I like your bow!", Yang randomly said to her. "Thanks.", Blake replied, though she said it quietly. "It goes great with your...pajamas." Blake only looked back at her book. "Right."

Ruby and Yang chuckled nervously, until Natsu started speaking. "What book are you reading there?" Blake stared up at him. "My book." He nodded. "Yeah."

"Well...It's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body.", she explained to him. Natsu then smiled at her. "Books are awesome. I remember when my father used to read them to me." Blake was now listening to him. "Though, he wasn't my real father, but he was like one to me. And my friend, Lucy, loves writing books. She had been writing some book for a long time and wishes to get it published one day.", Natsu kept saying, chuckling a bit.

"Though sometimes, I would actually burn her books, either by accident or on purpose., he laughed. "And I would end up either scolded or punched by her."

Blake ended up smiling at him. "That's a nice story. Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Natsu smiled even more when she said the words 'fairy tale' and stared at his guild mark that was on his right shoulder. "Fairy Tail..."

Ruby smiled at her. "Well, that's why we're here. To make it better." Yang became excited all of a sudden and pulled Ruby into a hug, lifting her up in the air. "Ohh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Ruby freaked out and started fighting with her, creating a small cloud that engulfed them. "Cut it out!"

Blake stared at it while Natsu stood next to her and laughed. "Well, Ruby, Yang...It's been a pleasure to-"

Suddenly, Weiss came marching towards them while they were still fighting. "What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?!"

"Oh, not you again!", Yang and Weiss shouted in unison when they saw each other. Ruby quickly shhh'd them. "Guys! She's right! People are trying to sleep."

Blake eventually got upset and set her book down before grabbing the candle that was next to her.

"Oh, now you're on my side!", Weiss said while angry. "I was always on your side!"

"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister?!", Yang asked angrily. "She's only trying to be nice!"

"She's a hazard to my health!", Weiss replied.

Before Blake could blow out the candles, Natsu caught sight of the flames and nearly drooled. "Fire!" Jumping towards it, he bit the candles and it became dark in the room.

"Did that guy seriously eat that candle?!", Weiss exclaimed in the dark.
