Stepping from the shower, Glynda dried herself off. Wrapping a towel around her chest, she stared at the young girl trying to be a woman in the mirror. Sighing, she stepped from the bathroom.
Staring at the satin dress and her borrowed shirt on her bed, "Which to wear," she thought.
The door interrupted her decision making. Heading for the door, she pressed the intercom button.
"Yes, how can I help you?"
Releasing the button, she waited.
"Lava Peelminer, seamstress."
"Let her in," brought her attention onto the Old Man sitting in his lounge chair, "Miss Goodwitch."
Opening the door, a female silk worm faunas past Glynda.
Looking over Glynda, "Mr. Imbert, is this the young lady needing a new wardrobe?"
"Yes, she does," replied the old man.
"A wardrobe?" said Glynda.
"You can't walk around Remnant in just a satin dress or a borrowed dress shirt unless you want go with bare breasts and ankles all the way."
7:30 am â Breakfast dining hall
"See, I told you," remarked Summer, "The green would get out of her hair."
"You're lucky it didn't stain her red hair," replied Tai.
"And it did wash out," replied Qrow, "Raven isn't the forgiving type," chewing on his breakfast sandwich, "besides why did you take pictures of you and Raven?"
"Blackmail material."
"Blackmail material?"
"Yes, when Raven's head causes her to float off the ground, these pictures will let out that hot air in her balloon."
"Wonderful plan," remarked Tai, "yet you forgot her chest wrap."
"It got caught in time."
"Now if we get caught with a sleeping Raven in class," said Qrow.
"I'm working on that," said Tai chewing on his toast.
"Does your plan," said Summer, "involve Raven drowning in her oatmeal?"
Pulling Raven from drowning in her oatmeal, they dragged her towards the bathroom to clean the oatmeal off her face.

"The General and the Head of Atlas Academy are separate positions. In time of unrest, both positions can be occupied by the same person," noticing Summer trying to keep Raven's head from tipping back, "Miss Branwen, do pilots fall under Navy or Army?"
Leaning close to Raven's mouth, "Pilots fall under the Navy since airships are designed for air and water," answered Summer.
"Miss Rose is there a reason why Miss Branwen couldn't answer that question?"
"Raven bit her tongue," replied Summer.
Revealing her skeptical stare, "She bit her tongue?"
"She bit her tongue this morning. Then she tried using ice cubes and got her tongue stuck on the freezer wall."
"Got her tongue stuck?"
"She couldn't find ice so she tried licking the frost off the freezer surface. Then she burned her tongue free."
"Burned her tongue free?"
"She tried using hot water instead poured hot sauce onto her tongue. She fell backwards and bit her tongue again."
"Surprised she didn't cut her tongue while shaving her tongue free."
"That was her second option."
9:45 am - Bartholomew Oobleck - History
Reading from a revised book of lore, "In beginning was Ymir, the God of Darkness," said Oobleck, "He slept until singing from his brother Lugh, the God of Lightness, woke him up.
"Why for this wake up time by your bad singing?" responded Ymir, "inconsideration of our disunionment?"
"Dear brother," remarked Lugh, "We should have a contest between who can create a better creature."
"You create. I'm going back to sleep."
"Professor Oobleck is a ballad," said Qrow, "or a bad comedy."
"Depends on the storyteller," going back to the book of lore, "Ymir created the night sky."
"Wasn't the night sky already created, Professor Oobleck?" asked Summer.
"Does the sunrise when you wake up, Miss Rose?" returning to his notes, "Lugh created the stars. The stars were not enough. He created Remnant.
Thinking it was too bright, clean, and green. Ymir created the Grimm.
Lugh created the animals. Humans followed. Finally Faunus combining parts of animals and humans."
"About the unicorns?" asked Summer.
"Before Ymir created Grimm, Remnant was still green and more kinds of animals that run around free while Remnant was being born. Even though there was green alligators and long-necked geese some humpty-backed camels, some chimpanzees, some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born the loveliest of all was the unicorn according to the bards. It rained and the unicorns became flying narwhales."
Bam brought the classes' attention onto Raven's head bouncing off the desk top then sliding onto the floor.
11:15 am - Class - Peter Port - Grimm Studies class.
Standing in front of his desk, Port watched his students gather at their desk. Keeping his eyes on Team STRQ, he watched Qrow and Tai placed Raven in her seat.
Clearing his throat, "A Grimm's age can be determined by size and layers within their bones," said Professor Port holding up a beowulf's skull without eye sockets, "Despite having red glowing eyes," pointing to the smooth surface where eye sockets should be, "it is believed Grimm are blind," placing the skull, "Leading to the belief that they can sense aura," walking behind his desk, "Controlling your emotions will make you invisible," noticing Tai positioning Raven from sliding under her desk, "Semblance dealing with emotions can camouflage their fellow hunters/huntresses," pressing the green button on his desk, "Mr. Xiao Long, understand you know how to hide your aura," standing with his hands behind his back while his desk rose.
Rising, the four rows of the students' desks formed an arena.
Ignoring the stares from the class, "Correct, Professor Port," keeping his hand around Raven's neck.
Initiating the dampers, "Care to demonstrate?"
Waiting for Summer to prop up Raven's head with books, "Sure," replied Tai releasing his grip around Raven's neck.
Tapping on his scroll, Tai headed towards a metal tube. Removing cylinder from the tube, he pulled out a curved blade dagger. Flick of his wrist revealed circular blade of his glazier. Twisting the glazier, he gripped two curved daggers. Stepping onto the platform, he lowered into the area before no one had time to notice the blades were metal.
Pushing a red button that was under the head of the bust, a cage rose from the floor. The cage door dropped. Jumping out was a Hammerhead grimm. Swaying its head searching for its prey allowed Tai to sprint towards the grimm. It turned causing Tai to stare at the center of the grimm's head. The center of the curved pendulum like shaped skull was a blind spot.
Clicking sounds echoed through the classroom trying to search for its prey. Twitching its head side to side in confusion, it sensed its human prey who was swaying in this dance of death trying to stay in its blind spot. Unable to locate its prey with its sensors, it slammed its tail against the arena wall.
The vibration from the tail slamming caused Raven's head to hit the desktop then slide under the desk. Standing behind Raven, Qrow lifted her up. Crawling onto the desk, Summer begun placing books under Raven's chin. Another collision by the Hammerhead's tail caused Summer to fall into the arena.
Reaching for her yoyo, it seemed it fell out of her pocket. Noticing the grimm between her and Tai, she used her speed semblance to zip around the grimm ending up behind Tai.
Running towards the Hammerhead, Tai slid under the Grimm. Piercing its soft underside, his momentum allowed his dagger to slice from the Grimm's chest to its stomach. Collapsing, it dissolved leaving no bones behind. It was a young one.
Looking up, they saw Qrow holding Summer's yoyo.
"Class dismissed," announced Professor Port.
12:30 pm â Lunch dining hall
Making sure the classroom was cleared out, Tai stood on Raven's left while Qrow's was on her right. Putting her arms around their necks, they grabbed her thighs. Lifting her up, they carried her with Summer in the front trying to be cover.
Watching Tai and Qrow carry Raven away, "Did you notice Raven Branwen sleeping in your class?" brought Port's attention onto Glynda standing beside him.
"Those repeated hits by her head against her desk," said Port, "can't be good her thought process."
"Hum," responded Glynda heading towards the teacher's lounge,
Entering, she saw everyone in their regular sitting at the round table. Oobleck on Peach's right Port sat on Oobleck's left getting into their discussion about historical hunts with Mulberry across from them add what type of weapon and tactic was used.
Sitting across from across a polar bear, "Professor Greene," said Glynda sitting beside Peach, "you know the rule about wearing your disguises at the table," staring at the polar bear, "Remove it."
The bear slammed its paw onto Greene's head shattering then dissolving away. Tapping its claws against its chest, the air farted out causing Peach to giggle while everyone else held their laughter.
Rolling her eyes, "Pay attention if Raven Branwen sleeping in your class."
"Ask her brother," said Peach, "since he wants some that booty."
"He's got Summer who he needs to card every time he gets a dirty thought."
"Then ask Tai."
"He's too much like his father."
Dragging Raven into the bathroom, Tai and Qrow stuffed themselves into the stall.
Pressing his back against the right corner at the rear stall, "So this is your plan?" asked Qrow strapping Raven's left ankle to his right ankle, "A three way in the stall with my sister."
Sliding his hand between Raven's legs, "Let's see had to dress your sister," replied Tai resting his chin on Raven's thigh, "Then saved Summer from the Hammerhead," strapping Raven's right ankle to his left ankle.
Sliding Raven between him and Qrow, Tai turned the stall lock getting pinned by the door. Placing Raven's left arm around his neck, Qrow slid counterclockwise out of the stall. Turning, they saw the male hunters staring at them. Securing his hand around Raven's belt, Tai and Qrow walked in sync. Their attempt at simulating Raven walking needed some work.
Staring at their lack of timing, "Smile!" said Summer clicking the 'Take Photo' button.
"Summer," remarked Tai, "you better hope Raven doesn't find out."
"Shouldn't we getting to class early," remarked Summer.
1:30 pm - Thumbelina Peach - Plant Science.
"Class today. We'll talk about the black and white sap being poisonous. And we'll begin once someone from Team STQR prevent Miss Branwen, their teammate, from drowning in her sap."
Lifting Raven's head up, white sap covered her face.
"That small amount won't kill her," pulling a bottle from her desk, "Here," handing it to Summer, "That will remove the sap," looking at the time, "Need to hurry that's a slow acting poison slower given her aura and class will end by time you get back."
Standing behind Raven, Qrow wrapped his arms around Raven's chest. Gripping Raven's legs, Tai led the way out. Placing the bottle into her pouch, Summer followed them.
Jogging with Tai, "We're not going to make it," said Qrow.
"Then let's use Professor Green's classroom," said Tai heading towards Professor Greene's classroom.
"You two are slow," replied Summer.
"You got a better idea," said Qrow.
"Yes, I'll use White Petals, my semblance, to dash to Professor Greene's classroom with Raven. Clean her face. Be back with time to spare."
"I don'tâĤ"
Getting engulfed by the vortex of White Petals, Summer carried them towards the closed door of Professor Greene's classroom. Reaching the door, Summer unwind her semblance allowing her teammates to slid across the floor.
"I didn't know you could that," said Qrow.
"I didn't know either," said Summer turning the doorknob, "You two didn't give me much of a choice," noticing the empty classroom, "Let's hurry," motioning Tai and Qrow to enter.
Dragging Raven into the classroom, they headed towards Professor Greene's desk. Following, Summer removed the cleaner from her pouch. Circling as Qrow and Tai lifted up Raven, Summer bumped the desk causing Qrow and Tai to drop Raven onto the desk. Sighing, Summer tipped the bottle allowing the cleaner to soak the rag.
Wiping Raven's face, Summer hummed, "My mother, she drowned in the bathtub,
My father, he died from his gin,
My sister choked on her chocolate,
My stars, what a fix I am in."
Stepping back, "Such a princess," staring at Tai, "Like to kiss her awake."
"I like keeping my tongue," studying Raven's face, "She looks done."
Sitting up, "Let's go," said Qrow placing Raven's left arm over his neck.
Lifting Raven off the desk, Qrow and Tai headed towards the door. Rolling her eyes, Summer activated White Petals engulfing her teammates again. Realizing the door was closed, she changed her trajectory. Stopping caused they slam against the wall. Trying to catch Raven, Tai's fingers gripped her blouse causing her blouse to unbutton.
Trying to catch Raven, Summer's face pressed against Raven's chest wrap. Stumbling, they slammed against a bookcase causing a domino effect of bookcases falling. Crashing stopped allowing their ears to locate Summer. Lifting up a bookcase, they watched the wailing arms and legs of Summer under Raven.
Lifting Raven up, their ears caught "Almost died by cleavage," gasped Summer.
Staring at each other, then their ears detected more mumbling. Finding the source, they lifted a bookcase up out fell Professor Green.
"Know how long it took me to get that disguise ready," noticing her trashed classroom, "Who's going to clean this up?"
"They are," brought their attention onto a smirking Gylnda Goodwitch, "Is that not right, Team STRQ?" slapping Disciplinarian against the palm of her left hand.
Turning his attention to Tai, "Don't ask Tai," replied Qrow, "Don't ask."
4 pm - Class - Harold Mulberry - Weapon Crafting and Upkeep.
Studying his class, Mulberry's eyes focused on a cloth belt around Raven's neck. Stepping few inches to the left allowed him to notice it was tied to the back of Raven's chair keeping her back straight with her chin up.
Sighing, "So far you learned to maintain your weapons," said Professor Harold Mulberry, "your main weapon you need to maintain is your mind. You need to reminder the six dimensions to semblance use," studying for his students' reaction, "Length, width, height, volume, distance, time example Professor Gylnda Goodwitch's semblance, Telekinesis allows her to move and control objects. She uses five dimensions; length, width, height, volume, distance. Those that create portals to instantly cover vast distances use all six dimensions," focusing on Raven, "Miss Branwen understand you developed a portal semblance. Care to demonstrate?" watching Tai dragging Raven towards him.
"Why are you here and don't get philosophical?"
Holding up his left arm allowed Mulberry to see the handcuff around his left wrist
"Mr. Xiao Long," said Professor Mulberry, "Is there a reason why Miss Branwen is handcuffed to you?"
"Tried to pick the lock," Tai, "lost the pick," looking Raven over, "and it's where my hands can't go legally and without permission."
"Is that true, Miss Branwen?"
She shook her head up and down with the aid of Tai's hand around her neck.
"Why can't she speak?"
"She burned her tongue free while licking the frost off the freezer surface."
Blinking his eyes, Mulberry shook his head.
"Well, there goes that class plan," tapping the hilt of Balbur, his battleax/rifle combo weapon, "Any ideas, Mr. Xiao Long?"
Smirking, Tai shrugged his shoulders then whipped Raven towards Mulberry knocking him onto his back. Rolling onto his feet, Mulberry swung his weapon at Tai. Using the chain to block Mulberry's swing, Tai twirled Raven around Mulberry wrapping the chain him. Keeping his left hand free, Mulberry did a handstand catching Raven's neck between his feet. Clockwise twist swept Raven off her feet. Sliding, Tai caused Mulberry to leap avoiding the chain of handcuff from tripping him.
Catching Raven, Tai threw her at the leaping Mulberry. Turning, he caught Raven only to see Tai sailing towards them. Tossing her back at Tai, he caught her sword belt. Aiming her feet at Mulberry's midsection, Tai thrusted Raven towards Mulberry. Blocking, Mulberry twirled along Raven's legs. Blocking Mulberry's slash, Tai slammed Raven's back into Mulberry's chest then tilted her upwards hitting under Mulberry's chin. Staggering Mulberry allowed Tai to remove Raven's sword belt. Wrapping her belt their waist, Tai wrapped his belt under his shoulders and Raven's. With Raven secured to his back, Tai went into his unorthodox stance.
Watching Tai adjusting his stance with the extra weight of the sleeping Raven, "She should've learned Sleeping Fist," remarked Mulberry.
"She didn't think it was her style."
The bell rung.
"Class dismissed," announced Mulberry putting Baldur up.
5 pm Hallway.
Placing Raven's sword belt around her waist, Tai and Qrow placed her between them. Gripping her sword belt, their feet kicked Raven's feet forward.
"Mr. Xiao Long," brought their attention onto Gylnda.
"Summer," said Tai switching places with Summer.
Watching Summer's knees buckled from Raven's weight, "Mr. Xiao Long, what's wrong with Miss Branwen? Don't lie. You're not as charming or a better liar then your father."
"It seems she didn't get enough sleep and I don't know why she's still asleep. If she doesn't wake up, we'll take her to the healer."
"Fine. How's your right leg?"
"Properly better than your left arm."
6 pm â Tai and Qrow's Room
(Raven's wakes up finding her teammates playing video games. She's dressed in her shirt and boxers. Thinking they're avoiding class, she heads to class not releasing it's 6:00 in the evening.
She returns to play against the winner.)
Waking up, "Why am I in Qrow's bed?" asked Raven staring her teammates playing video games.
"You wouldn't wake up," replied Summer leaning to the left.
Noticing she's wearing her school uniform, "Who dressed me?"
"Summer," said Tai button smashing, "she won the coin flip."
"You're lying. She only have the strength to lift me when she gets excited and what time is it?"
Watching Summer's Yo-yo fighter pinning Tai's Pit Fighter against the right side of the screen, "Six o'clock, sis," replied Qrow.
"We're going to be late," getting out of Qrow's bed, "Like you three care about something more than playing video games," opening the bedroom door, "Don't blame me if you fail," exiting the room.
"How long before she releases it is six clock in the afternoon?" asked Summer.
"Depends on how many rounds we play before she returns," answered Tai.
Twenty seven rounds later. The door swung open.
Sitting beside Tai, "Shut up," said Raven noticing Tai and Qrow on the controllers, "Whose turn?"
"Yours," replied Tai handing her the game controller, "If you want to play?" watching Raven select the Ice Ninja, "Why don't you select the Military Chick?"
"Why am I not surprise you want me to use the big boobed character?"
"She got the best combo set."
"And the biggest chest."
Leaning closer to Raven's face, "Try some variety."
"You're not that cute."
"Fatality!" brought Raven's attention onto Qrow's Grim Reaper killing her Ice Ninja.
"Qrow!" hitting Qrow's head with her controller.
