Chapter 6: A STRQ beginning

"And here is your dormitory. We don't have maids here so don't mess it up." Their year tutor left them in front of the door and went to show the last group of students to their dorms. Summer pulled the door open and they all peered in. It was bland to say the least. Red curtains. Four beds. Two windows. Two bathrooms.

"Spacious." Summer shrugged.

"Adequate." Qrow nodded.

"Decent." Tai folded his arms.

"Disappointing." Raven raised an eye brow.

They all walked in, suitcases in tow. They all placed the cases by the door and started to thoroughly inspect the room. Raven went to the windows and looked out. Their dormitory was on a corner. Two good vantage points if any of the tribe decided to pay them a visit. The windows themselves were that in the style of a bay window as per a majority of the windows at the academy. Raven was still mythed at why that weakling 'Summer Rose' was leader of the group. Why not Qrow? He was as much a leader as she was. Raven glared out the window, towards a tree and saw something that shook her to her core. A Rook was hoping from branch to branch whilst staring in the window. The black bird ruffled its feathers and took off east. They couldn't have found them that easily.

"All Right Team STRQ" Summer exclaimed in the centre of the room. The all turned around. "Today is officially our first day in Beacon Academy! But we're team STRQ, we took down two giant King Tijitu, just in our assessment. So as team leader I am proposing we organise our room." Summer bounced on the balls of her feet.

"Redecorate?" Tai questioned.

"Yes!" Summer smiled.

"Now?" Raven queried.

"Well those suitcases aren't going to unpack themselves." Summer rolled her eyes. She went over and handed Tai his suitcase. "Raven, Qrow. Where are your guys' suitcases?" Raven frowned at her.

"We forgot them." Qrow intervened before Raven blew a fuse.

"Oh." Tai shrugged, then smirked. "You know what, I'll go see if they have any spare clothes for you guys and get our uniforms whilst I'm there."

"Good thinking!" Summer smiled. Tai left the dormitory and closed the door behind him. Summer grabbed her suitcase and proceeded to fling it onto a bed. "This bed's mine." She folded her arms in triumph.

"Well this one's mine then." Qrow threw his sword on to the bed on the opposite wall to summers bed.

"You did that on purpose." Raven growled to him.

"What?" Innocently smirked.

"Which ever bed I choose I'm near him."

"Well we are sharing a room so can't really get nearer than that."

"What is your problem with tai anyway?" Summer piped up. "You call him it, try to kill him and ignore him."

"Because he's annoying."

"You mean 'It'." Qrow's last jab at his sister seemed to be the last straw and she punched him in the arm. Which caused him to recoil and slump back onto the edge of his bed. He looked up to Summer. "What, not going to help your partner."

"No, you deserved that." Summer then turned back to unpacking her suitcase.

Tai meandered down the hall. Secretly forming his plan as he went. Perhaps getting to Qrow would win Raven over. First part of his plan get the uniforms. He walked towards the desk which handed out the school uniforms and sold necessities. The que that had accumulated was very off putting. No one would stand it that outrageous line and keep their sanity. Tai grumbled to himself and started making his way to student services. It itself wasn't that far away from the place where they handed out the uniforms. There was only one person in front of him when he made it to the receptionist. Ok so this was the cover up.

"How may I help you?" The lady at the front desk asked Tai. He stepped forward.

"Hello erm my two team mates have lost their luggage and it won't be returned to them. So do you have any spares?" The woman stopped for a second looking up to the corner of her eye.

"Let me go and check I think we have plenty of clothes left over from last year." She left the desk and went through to a closet at the back of the room. People were passing by, no teams were passing by. Everybody in groups of multiples of four. 'Wonder what the others are doing?'

"What sizes are they?" He heard the woman call. Oh. The one thing he didn't ask.

"Erm, I don't know." The woman looked at him.

"You a first year team?"

"Yes ma'am. Team STRQ" she sat down in her wheelie chair and typed in the name of the team.

"Is it Raven and Qrow?" she asked. "Says here they haven't received their luggage." She muttered to herself.

"Yep that's them."

"I'll use the sizes from the school uniforms that need picking up and get some ready for you." She then went off to the back. Again.

"So, you guys said you were from Mistral?" Summer asked.

"Yes." Raven answered.

"My uncle was from Mistral." Summer smiled.

"Ok."

Silence.

"So what's your weapons called?"

"Why?" Raven snapped.

"Mines is Muninn. Scythe, shotgun and sword." He looked to his sister. "Nothing can happen by just telling her your weapon."

"Huginn, my weapons name is Huginn." She looked to Qrow. "Happy?"

"I guess. Could have been nice if you explained what it did."

"You know what would have been nice-" The door was flung open and banged into the desk placed next to the door. Tai entered with two stacks of clothes.

"I'm back!" He exclaimed. He gave Qrow the stack of casual clothes. "These are both of yours new clothes. And here are our new uniforms." He handed Summer hers, Raven hers. Then Qrow's his.

"Why do I have a dress?"

"It's not a dress. It's a kilt."

"A kilt?" Qrow sighed.

"Yes, the school want students to feel equal to each other. So girls get skirts, not a dress by the way, and we get kilts." Qrow looked to Tai's pile.

"So where's your kilt?"

"Oh, oh erm, I've got a skin condition, let my legs see a bit of skin and they burn to a crisp." He chuckled.

"Ok then." Qrow shrugged.

"Well let's get to lesson!" Summer giggled.

They all put their uniforms and made their way to class. They all trudged down the halls towards their next class. Tai and Summer trying to hold in their laughter as they approached the class room. Raven walking straight faced towards class. As other students walked by they started snort in laughter to themselves and turning away to laugh. They rounded the corner to the classroom. Qrow held the door open and entered after the others. They saw Peter and the rest of his team sat in their seats. They all went to sit behind them. Qrow stopped. Tai leaned over to Summer and Raven.

"He's going to be so embarrassed. It'll humiliate him." Tai let out a loud laugh.

"Hey ladies." Qrow placed his leg on the desk in front of Lucy and Bailey, the other two members of team PBBL. He smirked slyly "Like what you see?" The two girls blushed and giggled to themselves. Then Summer burst into hysterics.

"Why is he enjoying this? He's not supposed to enjoy this." Tai grumbled.

"Brother! You bring shame upon our family." Raven bellowed. Summer still manically laughing. Peter and Bart were now to laughing loudly. The other around them quickly adding to the growing chorus of laughter. Qrow made his way to his seat next to Summer and propped his legs up on the desk.

"Y-y-y-you knew all along." Summer gasped between outbursts of laughter. Qrow smirked to Tai.

"I know why you aren't a strategist." Tai was still baffled about how his plan hadn't worked.

"Class is now is session!"

This chapter is totally not a week late, what you on about… yeah it's late. For those of you in higher education you can understand my pain of teachers losing your work... then I lost my motivation to write and I had to kinda force myself to write this. So yeah my reason why this chapter is up late. But technically it's still a Wednesday sssoooooooo.

Yeah next chapter should be up on Wednesday, I have regained my motivation I think but yes! I am setting my sights on next Wednesday :) BTW if you get the weapon references, you know who I'm on about. ;) Sorry for the short chapter couldn't think of what else to put in. I also saw that someone spotted I mistyped peters name, I thought Peter was short for Patrick but that's Paddy XD.

Thanks for your Reviews, favourites and follows means a lot to me n.n
