Author's note: Sorry about the length (or lack thereof) of the last chapter. From now on, unless the poll goes against this, I will try for 1000-1500 words per chapter. Also, still don't own the rights to RWBY, as much as I would like to.

Lloyd and I entered what seemed to be some sort of foyer. Man, that thing was massive. And also jam packed with other first years, all talking to each other loud enough to be heard over the thousands of other people. A perfect place to eavesdrop... If I was going to. "Hey, Lloyd, do you have any group to hang out with, or something?"

"Gwyn, no offence, but why would I hang out with you if I had a pre-existing group?"

"Good point." We continued to chat idly, and that was when I saw her. Blonde hair, down to the small of her back, with strawberry blonde tips. She was wearing a brown vest that stopped in the middle of her waist, with what appeared to be a sunset coloured shirt underneath. Looking down, she was wearing baggy brown pants that were tightened mid-calf by what appeared to be shoelaces, and she also wore orange sneakers. Her back was to us, and without even seeing her face, I was already enamoured.

"Amber! Hey, Amber! Hello~?" I turned as I heard my name. It was my friend Ashley Sable "Did you not sleep or something?" She teased as she poked my nose. Standing at five foot two, she was significantly shorter than me, as I was five foot ten. Some of the other girls bugged me about being taller, but once I was in combat training school, my height proved advantageous, as I could build more muscle mass than the other, smaller girls.

"No, I slept just fine, just thinking about how weird Professor Ozpin's speech was. I don't think it was even motivational at all."

"I don't think it was supposed to be. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you some creep over there is checking you out" She stated, pointing past me. I turned quickly, to see a guy, slightly taller than me, look flustered, and turn quickly to his friend. It was always funny to do this to guys. His hair was buzzed short on the sides and back, and was just long enough on the top have a muss at the front. He was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt than ended three quarters down his arms with a chain mail shirt underneath, as well as a dark grey breastplate. He also had trousers and what appeared to be pair of white sneakers. Style was really not this guys strong suit, but i guess he was kinda cute, in a "puppy you found on the street covered in mud and dirt" way.

"Ashley, do you know who he is?" I asked, curious.

"Well, some creep. I dunno anything beyond that." Ashley and I spoke idly, with her often going on and on for several minutes at a time. It was okay, because I wasn't feeling to talkative for some reason.

We wandered and talked for several hours, until it started getting dark. Ashley yawned, and suggested we go to the ballroom, which was where we were sleeping until we were assigned dorm rooms. I changed into my pyjamas, and went towards where Ashley put our bed rolls. It was a strategic choice of placement for her, because it gave us a great view of all of the shirtless guys. We both looked at them, quietly scoring them. Then, Ashley nudged me, and subtly pointed towards a guy, who I recognized as the guy who was checking me out earlier. "So, I take back what I said about him being a creep. Mee-ow! With that body, he could totally check me out"

"Ashley! Just because he's attractive-"

"Very very attractive!"

"Yeah, just because of that, doesn't mean he's not a creep!" I rebutted, but she was already getting up, and walking towards him. I scrambled up, and followed her.

"Dude," Lloyd nudged me, "Hot babes, six o'clock"

I turned, and there she was. The beauty from earlier. Somehow, even more beautiful than I even imagined. My mouth dried up, and I could feel myself begin to sweat. Her friend came up to me, and leaned on the wall behind me, "Hi. My friend and I here just wanted to ask you about... uhm.. "

"The rumours of teams!" The beauty interjected

"Yeah, teams" Her slightly less beautiful friend agreed "And we thought that you-"

"The both of us?" Lloyd asked, nervously. So, it turned out he was just as bad I thought he would be at talking to girls. Usually, I could be a silver tongued devil with anyone, but something about her made my mouth dry up and my brain go dumb. I hoped she was not in any of my important classes.

The girl leaning toward me, turned and saw Lloyd. "Ehh. I guess. Anyway, hot stuff" She turned back to me "What's your name?" She asked, almost seductively

"Uh, Gwyn" I choked out, embarrassingly.

"Gwyn? Sounds like a girl's name!" she laughed. With that, she blew any chances she had with me. I may not have many weak points, but that one pissed me off.

"Well, then I guess you wouldn't want a dude with a girly name on your team. Goodbye" I ducked under her arm, spitting that last word with finality, and walked over to Lloyd. "Lets go put our beds down somewhere" I looked back at the girl, who looked bamboozled, "else."

"But dude, her friend, wasn't that..?" Lloyd asked, referring to the one who said very little during that conversation.

"Yeah. I guess whatever, if she keeps friends like that, she can't be very good herself." we didn't say anything else, and went to sleep.

Several hours later

"-No. You will be using your own landing strategy." Was the last thing I heard from professor Ozpin, before I was launched, quite violently, into the forest. I knew a grappling hook was a great idea! I flew through he air, unwrapping the rope from around my waist, tumbling. I almost missed my chance to hook, and only managed to do so through pure luck, as i had dropped the grapnel itself, which hooked onto a branch. I managed to land on the ground with minimal injury, only getting a few bruises. Okay, the first thing I had to do was find Lloyd, and hope to god that Ashley was not going to be anywhere near me. That's when I heard someone screaming something at me, and I turned around just in time to see a girl slamming into me.
