Chapter 4: Send out the clown!
"Wake up lazy bud."
Two people soon open their eyes, only to see a really hyperactive person jumping around singing "It's morning."
For one, it was a normal morning for him, but for the other, he soon realized that he might have made a mistake with people he should become friends with.
pop.
Popper soon sits upright from his sleeping bag and turns to the energetic girl. And just looks at her with, 'narrow eyes.'
"You better just get used to this, because this is going to be our morning now." Ren soon tells Popper.
Sigh...POP!
"I can't believe we've been at Beacon for a full 24 hours. Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything I mean you're the perfect student and I'm well, I'm me but it's just crazy you know."
In the bathroom we see Ren brushing his teeth while listening to Nora ramble about the morning.
Meanwhile, Popper was putting on some face paint. Making his mouth covered in red while making both sides of his cheeks have little blushes on them with red. Soon he moves up to his eyes and applies some green to go over both his eyes almost making it look like a mask. After he finishes with that he soon grabs a pink color and starts to make a diamond shape to cover both eyes. Now with one finishing touch, he gets a white color and applies it to his mouth making it look like a smile.
POP!
Happy with his result he turns to both of his friends.
Both had mixed reactions to his appearance. One had a face of surprise to say the least, while the other looked happy with his new appearance.
"Wow, now you really look like a clown with your makeup on."
POP!
"We been friends for so long what are the odds we'd still be together? Well not together together. Not that I'm saying you're not handsome you are handsome but that will just be weird. Right?"
As Nora continues her little speech and we see Ren fixing up his sleeping bag. Popper soon puts on a multi-color suit and carefully removes his scarf from around his neck. Making sure no one saw his neck. As he holds his scarf he soon puts it inside his suit and quickly buttons up his dress shirt all the way to the top. then reaching into his sleeve he pulls out another cloth and raps it around his neck.
"Right, what was I thinking but still I hope we end up on the same team together. You too Popper. OH! We should come up with some sort of plan to make sure we end up on the same team together. What if we bribe that master? No that won't work he has a school.
We are soon sitting in the cafeteria eating breakfast. Nora quickly destroys her stacks of pancakes while Ren is simply taking his time with his. While Popper just keeps eating while hearing Nora continue to talk.
'Man can this girl talk.' Popper soon thought to himself.
Soon after they finish their breakfast they start to head to the locker room to get their equipment.
"I know! We'll have some sort of signal like a distress signal. A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest. Can you imitate a sloth?"
"Nora... I don't think sloths make a lot of noise."
...
...
...
POP!
"That's why it's perfect no one will suspect we're working together. But what about you Popper?"
Popper soon pulls out an Airhorn and shows it to her.
"That's perfect!"
"Come on Let's go."
Looking around the room Popper soon spots two people that he hadn't seen since yesterday. Tapping Nora's shoulder he soon points in the direction of two more people.
"Your friends?"
POP!
"Sure we will meet you by the cliff go say hi to them."
With a simple wave, he soon starts to walk to the two sisters.
"What I don't need to break out of my shell that's absolutely... Ridi...Culous..." Ruby said while looking at what was behind her sister.
"What are you looking at sis?"
Ruby just simply points behind her.
Once Yang turns she soon sees Popper walking toward them.
"Who brought the clown."
"Yang be nice."
Waving at the two Popper soon stands right in front of them.
"Hey Popper you look... Intense."
"Yea... You can say you are not clowning around today."
"UGH, Yang please don't."
PFTT!
Both sisters just look at Popper with mixed reactions. One was horrified by what she just heard. While the other one had the biggest smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Popper just had to cover his mouth and turn his face.
"I take it back Ruby, He's a good friend."
"Please don't start Yang."
"Wahhh!"
Soon Jaune was sent to a locker with a spear trapping his hoodie.
Turning back at where he came from, Two people start to walk toward them.
One was Weiss the girl he meet yesterday. He tried to wave at her. But as soon as she saw him. She simply ignores him and walks past him. The other one was a girl with red hair and as soon as she got close to Popper her eyes went wide and tried to ignore him completely.
POP?
"Would all First-year students please report to beacon cliff for initiation. Again all First-year students please report to beacon cliff immediately.
POP!
As Popper turns his head he soon sees Ruby helping Jaune up. With nothing better to do, he goes and helps them out.
"Thanks, Popper."
"Yea, thanks."
POP!
Beacon Cliff had this amazing view. For one the forest below them was beautiful that Popper had to take a picture of it. Second, it was a beautiful day today with the clouds and the sun and the People around him. This was for sure, going to be the beginning of his new life.
Popper soon saw a group of people standing in a row on top of what looks to be trap doors. With no room to wait, he soon steps in one next to Nora and a guy rocking a mohawk.
Soon two adults start to walk to the group of students and start to look at each one.
But the moment they saw Popper, One just simply took a sip out of his cup, while the other narrowed her eyes and checked on something in her hands.
Soon the man started to talk.
"For years you have trained to become warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the emerald forest."
Then the woman started to talk. "Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today."
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well."
For some reason, Popper could hear someone squeak a little each time the man finish talking. Looking around he soon sees Ruby make faces and see Jaune have a worried face.
"See I told you."
Soon Popper realized that he didn't listen to what the man said before but just turn his attention back to Ruby and Jaune. For some reason, Ruby's face changed from a worried one back into a calm one. But Jaune, his whole face had a worried look.
"Are there any questions?"
Popper looked back at the man forgetting to listen to the remainder of his speech.
POP?
Soon he starts to hear people getting launched from the platform that they were standing on and seeing the students fly off.
...
...
...
POP?
Popper soon reaches inside his suit and pulls out an umbrella ready to get launch.
And soon... He was sent flying into the sky toward the Emerald Forest.
