Team RWBY looks at a shattered window down the street and a door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force before walking over to the detective in front, who is writing on his pad.

Ruby: What happened here?

Detective 1: Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle.

The Detective walks over to his partner.

Yang sighs sadly.

Yang: That's terrible.

Detective 2: (to his partner) They left all the money again.

Ruby turns her head when she hears this.

Ruby: Huh?

Detective 1: Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?

Detective 2: I don't know, an army?

Detective 1: You thinking the White Fang?

Detective 2 removes his sunglasses.

Detective 2: Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough.

Weiss: Hmph! The White Fang.

Weiss crossed her arms and pointing her nose in the air with her eyes closed.

Weiss: What an awful bunch of degenerates!

Blake: What's your problem?

Weiss looks at Blake.

Weiss: My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane.

Blake: The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths.

Blake crosses her arms while getting serious.

Blake: They're a collection of misguided Faunus.

Weiss: Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!

Blake: So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!

Ruby: Hmm... Blake's got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy that Habib and I ran into a few months ago... Maybe it was him.

Weiss: That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum.

Blake starts growing.

Weiss: Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal.

Yang: That's not necessarily true...

Sailor 1: Hey, stop that Faunus!

As team RWBY overhears the cry for help and rush over to investigate, a Faunus with a golden monkey tail named Sun Wukong is seen running down the length of the boat and leaping on to the edge as the two sailors are about to apprehend him.

Sun looks back at his pursuers.

Sun: Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!

Sun jumps off and hits the dock running.

Sailor 2: You no-good stowaway!

Sun used his tail to hang on a lamppost while he peels back a banana.

Sun: Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!

Before he eats, one of the detectives down below throws a stone at him to get his attention,

Detective 1: Hey! Get down from there this instant!

Sun drops the banana peel on the detective's face, who growls in return. The monkey-like Faunus twirls up to crouch on the lamppost, laughs in amusement, and proceeds to leap off and run away from the detectives. As he runs past Team RWBY, he winks at an astonished Blake in slow motion before time speeds up again and he continues to be chased by the officers. Yang is watching the Faunus get farther and farther away.

Yang: Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes...

Weiss is holding up a finger.

Weiss: Quick! We have to observe him!

Weiss, Yang, and Ruby give chase. Blake stands still, lost in thought, then comes back to reality and follows her friends. The team rounds the next corner, but then Weiss bumps into someone and trips. She looks up only to see Sun jump on to a building and disappear from her view.

Weiss: No, he got away!

Yang: Uhh... Weiss?

Yang points strangely at the girl underneath her teammate. Weiss finally sees that she fell on a smiling girl, which startles the heiress and she hastily gets up.

Penny is still down on the ground, smiling widely.

Penny: Sal-u-ta-tions!

Ruby: Um... hello.

Yang: Are you... okay?

Penny: I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking.

Team RWBY looks at each other in bewilderment before Yang speaks up again.

Yang: Do you... wanna get up?

Penny thinks about this for a moment.

Penny: Yes!

Penny leaps back on her feet while team RWBY steps back a little.

Penny: My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!

Ruby: Hi Penny. I'm Ruby.

Weiss: I'm Weiss.

Blake: Blake.

Yang: Are you sure you didn't hit your head?

Blake hits Yang's side.

Yang: Oh, I'm Yang.

Penny: It's a pleasure to meet you!

Weiss: You already said that.

Penny pauses again.

Penny: So I did!

Weiss: Well, sorry for running into you!

Team RWBY turns around and start walking away.

Ruby is waving her arm.

Ruby: Take care, friend!

When they get far enough away from a startled Penny.

Yang: She was... weird...

Weiss looked to her right.

Weiss: Now, where did that Faunus riff-raff run off to?

Penny is suddenly in front of a surprised Weiss.

Penny: What did you call me?

As Weiss looks back and forth in shock and Yang looks apologetic.

Yang: Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!

Penny: No, not you.

Penny walks through the group and leans her head down to Ruby.

Penny: You!

Ruby: (startled) Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh...

Penny: You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?

Ruby: Uuuum...

Ruby looks over Penny's shoulder while her teammates motion to deny her.

Ruby: Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?

Ruby's teammates comically faint, but Penny looks overjoyed and laughs.

Penny: Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!

Penny: 'I can't wait to tell Habib that I made a new friend!'

Ruby is groaning to Weiss as she brushes herself off.

Ruby: Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?

Weiss: No - she seems far more coordinated.

Yang: So... what are you doing in Vale?

Penny: I'm here to fight in the tournament.

Weiss: Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?

Penny: (saluting) I'm combat ready!

Weiss: Forgive me, but you hardly look the part.

Blake: Says the girl wearing a dress.

Weiss crossed her arms.

Weiss: It's a combat skirt!

Ruby speeds over to Weiss' side.

Ruby: Yeah!

Weiss holds out her hand and Ruby low-fives it. realization hit Weiss.

Weiss: Wait a minute.

Weiss walks over to Penny and grabs her by the shoulders.

Weiss: If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?

Penny: The who...?

Weiss is holding up a poor drawing of the criminal-in-question.

Weiss: The filthy Faunus from the boat!

Blake: Why do you keep saying that?!

Weiss turned her attention from Penny to Blake.

Weiss: Huh?

Blake is walking over to Weiss, angrily.

Blake: Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person! Plus we're friends with Habib and he is a Faunus!

Penny: 'They know Habib? Wait is he here?'

Weiss: Oh, I'm sorry.

Weiss releases Penny and motions to objects around her.

Weiss: Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost? Habib is different than that criminal!

Blake: Stop it and how is Habib different than the one that you were chasing!

Weiss blushed a little but got rid of it quickly.

Weiss: Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang and that's how Habib is different than that Faunus! He isn't a criminal.

Blake growls while clenching her fist.

Blake: You ignorant little brat!

Weiss looks offended, but when Blake walks away, she follows.

Weiss: How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!

Blake: You are a judgmental little girl.

Weiss: What in the world makes you say that?

Blake: The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be! But when it comes to Habib you don't sort him with a terrorist group and he is a Faunus!

Yang slide up to Ruby while looking uncomfortable.

Yang: Um, I think we should probably go...

Penny popped up behind Ruby while smiling.

Peeny: Where are we going?

Weiss: So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!

Blake: That's not what I meant, and you know it!
