"Alright! Let's get this next episode started!"

"Why do you always seem so excited when we start a new episode?" Raider simply turned to Emerald, the one who spoke. "Because I like watching other people's reactions to things. I find it extremely entertaining, now shut up and react!"

*Volume Intro*

Scene: Ruby and Jaune were seen walking into a large mess hall. A bunch of kids were in the crowd, with Yang being the most noticeable because she actually had color. "Ruby! Over here, I saved you a spot!" Yang waved to her sister, getting her attention.

"Oh, hey, I gotta go, see you after the ceremony!" Ruby was off, Jaune trying to get her attention back. "Hey, wait! Ah great, where am I supposed to find another nice quirky girl to talk to?"

"You could look behind you to see a perfectly qualified person to talk to." Jaune grumbled, "I didn't see her then."

As Jaune walks away, Pyrrha is shown. Watching Jaune walk away.

Scene: Yang is standing next to her sister, who is crossing her arms and frowning at Yang. "How's your first day going little sister?" Ruby responds angrily, "You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?"

"Yikes, meltdown already?"

"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school. And there was some fire, and I think some ice." Yang just leans in with a teasing smile, "Are you being sarcastic?"

"Woman! Does that sound like sarcasm to you? If so, you will be given the wrong end of the stick in an argument."

"Alright, I get it. She wasn't being sarcastic, she was being serious."

Ruby scoffed, "I wish, I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage and then she yelled at me and then I sneezed and then I exploded." As she was going on, Weiss was being made known behind her. "And then she yelled again, and I felt really, really bad and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me."

"You!" Weiss yells at Ruby, to which the small girl hops into her sister's arms. "Oh god, it's happening again!"

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff." Yang dawns on the realization. "Oh my God, you really exploded."

Ruby released herself from Yang's arms. "It was an accident, it was an accident!"

Weiss then places a pamphlet in Ruby's face, the title reading 'Dust for Dummies'. "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustainable operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although, not mandatory. The Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide of dust application practice in the field."

"I'm more concerned about how you took the time to memorize all of that." Weiss didn't say anything and continued to stare at the screen.

"My daughter is only guilty of acting according to how a Schnee should." Jacque said, as if nothing was wrong from what they were seeing in front of them.

Ruby voiced her confusion, "Um, what?"

"You really want to start making things up to me?" Ruby answered apprehensively "Absolutely." Weiss shoved the pamphlet in Ruby's arms, "Read this and don't ever speak to me again."

"And just look how much that backfired on you Ice Queen." Weiss grumbled and turned to Yang, "Don't call me that."

"She has a point, now the two of us are BFFs!" Ruby yelled excitedly. "We're not BFFs." Ruby pouted, "Not even just a little bit." She says pinching her index fingers in a close proximity. Weiss looked out in thought before whispering to Ruby. "Smidge, but don't go making a big deal out of it."

Ruby looked like she could explode into squealing, but did her best not to, as Weiss's wishes. And as her smudge bit BFF, she will respect those wishes.

Kali and Blake sent a fond smile to the Schnee heiress. Raider was smiling at the cute scene in front of her. WhiteRose!

"Look, uh, it sounds like you got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?"

"Because Friendship is magic", Raider stupidly waved her hands in the air. The others didn't get the reference.

"Yeah, great idea sis. Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby, want to hang out? We could go shopping for school supplies." Weiss responded with a stupid amount of sarcasm. "Yeah! And we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys like tall, blonde and scraggly over there." Weiss says, pointing her thumb back at Jaune, who only looked at the conversation with confusion.

"Hey, I know Jaune puked on a plane and is a big dork-" "Hey!" "But you don't have to drag him into this!"

Ruby, thinking she's serious, asks excitedly "Wow really?"

Weiss answers with the most deadpan expression, "NO."

Someone coughs into the microphone and all their attention is brought to Ozpin. "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."

This got a tiny chuckle from Salem, and small frowns from Kali and Ghira. "Damn man, tell the people how you really feel."

"Direction, you assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin begins to walk away from the stage and Glynda takes his place. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready, you are dismissed."

The camera goes back to Weiss, Yang and Ruby. Jaune, who was in the background, walks off screen. "He seemed…off." Yang says. "It was almost like he wasn't even there," Ruby continues.

Jaune comes back on screen and directs his statement at Jaune, "I'm a natural blond y'know." Weiss just brings a hand to her face.

Scene: It's night time at Beacon. And all students have their sleeping bags out in the ballroom.

Ruby is in her PJs, writing in her journal, and Yang crashes down next to her. But it looked like that landing would have hurt, "It's like a big slumber party!"

Ruby responds without looking up from her writing, "I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though."

"I know I do," Yang continues with a smirk. The camera shows three shirtless men. One being in a headlock with another and the other showing off his muscles. But Yang's vision is ruined when Jaune comes waltzing with his one piece PJs. Yang's smirk fall's into a cringe.

"You're right, I don't approve of all the boys." Taiyang cuts in with glare. "I don't either," Ghira agrees.

"Dad!" Both of the girls yell. Kali successfully calms her husband down. Tai continues to show his discomfort.

"What's that?" Yang asks when seeing Ruby continue to write. "A letter to the gang back at Signal, I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."

"Aww, that's so cute!" Yang baby's her sister, but Ruby retaliates by throwing a pillow in her sister's face. "Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here."

"Ruby, that's every new school you go to. There's going to be hundreds to thousands of people you don't know. And you'll find friends, I mean, look at the team you have now. It took me till middle school to find my kind of friends, and only one from elementary school I still talk to."

"What about Jaune? He's nice?" She says as if it's a question.

"I mean, you didn't know him from when he tried to flirt with Weiss. So, I can understand why you would be a little apprehensive about him."

"There you go! Plus one friend, that's a 100% increase." It was then Ruby moved, turning from her stomach to her back with her arms pillowing her head. "Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend, back to zero."

"There's no such thing as negative friends. You just made one friend and one enemy." Of course, this got Yang another pillow to the face.

"Look, it's only been one day, trust me you got friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet." The glow of a flame catches the girl's attention. The two sit up to see Blake, reading.

"That girl…"

"You know her?"

"Not really, she saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything." Yang then grabs Ruby's arm, "Welp, now's your chance." Ruby calls out in protest. "Wait, what are you doing?"

The screen changes to show Blake looking up from her book, wondering what the noise was. Only looking to see Yang dragging a grumpy Ruby over to her. "Hel~oooo!"

Raider micicked on screen Yang, laughing at the scene.

Ruby finally freed herself from her sister, but Yang didn't pay any heed. "I believe you two may know each other?" Blake responds questioningly, "Aren't you that girl who exploded?"

"It's been less than a day and you're already being known for something." Ruby pouts and crosses her arms, "Even if that something is a thing I don't like to be known about."

"Uh, yeah. My name is Ruby, but you can just call me crater- actually you could just call me Ruby."

Facepalms are spread all throughout the room.

Blake doesn't look up from her book, "Ok." Realizing this wasn't worth any of her time. Yang 'whispers' to her sister, being completely heard by Blake. "What are you doing?" "I don't know, help me." The two turn back to Blake with big creepy smiles. "So, what's your name?"

Blake sighs and gives Yang a single glance, "Blake." "Well Blake, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister, I like your bow." Blake's voice sounds like it came out as a hiss, "Thanks." Yang just keeps talking, sounding more awkward each second, "It goes great with your Pajamas."

"Right…" Yang and Ruby return nervous glances with each other. "Nice night, don't you think?" Blake at that moment, has enough of the two. "Yes, it's lovely, almost as lovely as this book."

…

"That I will continue to read."

…

"As soon as you leave."

"Funny thing about this scene, the two of you can't take a hint until it's said bluntly in your face."

"Yeah, we can really see the signs in a third person perspective. Sorry if we were that much of a bother Blakey." The faunus sighed, "It's in the past now. And I'm glad I met you two." Yang unexpectedly brings the girl into a hug, "Aww, under that quiet facade you do care about us!" Blake blushed at the surprising contact from the girl.

"Yeah, this girl's a lost cause." Ruby ignored her sister, "What's it about?" Blake looks surprised. "Your book, does it have a name?"

"Well, it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body."

Yang looks uninterested, "Oh yeah, that's real lovely."

"Man, I wish I realized that callback and foreshadowing sooner." Raider whispered, Blake looking at Raider with a look.

"I love books, Yang used to read me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters, they're one of the reasons I want to be a huntress." Blake gave a small chuckle, "Why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?"

"Well, I'm hoping we all will."

"Sorry to break it to ya, but that's just not how the world works. Many people wish it wasn't but it is. There will always be fighting, arguments, and death. Just things we all have to deal with." The voice of Roman came from the back.

"As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves."

Blake finally begins to set her book down, "That's very ambitious for a child, unfortunately the real world isn't the same as a fairytale."

"Well, that's why we're here, to make it better." Yang coos in admiration, and brings her into a large hug, "I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Ruby yells at Yang to cut it out. She punches Yang in the face before the two get themselves into a cartoonish scruffle.

"Ah, sibling fights, one of the most memorable things you could do. You could shaking each other's hand one second and go at each other's throats the next. Now, that's a real childhood requirement."

"It's requirement for siblings to fight like that all the time!?"

Raider waves a hand, "Well, duh! Your siblinghood was bland and boring if you didn't go through that phase."

Both Winter, Whitley and Weiss shared a glance with each other. "Or your family had no qualls with each other, that could be a thing, but physical fights with your sibling is a real memory."

"Well, Ruby, Yang, it's a pleasure to-" Blake was cut off by Weiss, and that was when the two girls stopped, Ruby holding onto Yang's foot. "What in the world is going on over here? Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?" Yang and Weiss make eye contact and yell at the same time, "Oh no, not you again!"

Ruby shushes them both, "Guys she's right, people are trying to sleep."

"Oh, now you're on my side."

Blake realizing she wasn't going to get any reading done, puts down her book.

"I was always on your side!"

"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister, she's just being nice!"

Weiss screams back, She's a hazard to my health!"

Blake grabs the candelabra, and blows out the flames. And the screen goes black.

*Outro Music*

"Alright, what did you guys think?"

"Ice Queen strikes again?"

"That is enough targeting my sister Qrow!"

"Yeah, that is getting seriously annoying, and unless you want to deal with a protective older sister, I suggest you shut the hell up dude. Wait," the shine of a small container catches Raider's attention. "Are you drunk? Is that why you keep ganging up on Weiss?!"

Everyone looks at Qrow, "Qrow!" Raider rushes over to Qrow and searches his pockets, only to find his canteen. "How the hell did you find this?"

Raider steals the container to go place in a spot he won't find it. This chapter ends with Qrow complaining and asking for it back, to which Raider tells him 'no'.
