*Volume Intro*

Scene: The vast expanse of the Emerald Forest is shown, a harps melody is playing in the background. Flying in the air is a small crow, minding its own business, not realizing its own demise was in about three seconds.

"The forest looks so peaceful, when will it be ruined?" Yang asks with a smirk and a roll of the eyes.

Falling from the sky was Ruby, directly hitting the bird, and most likely killed it from the impact. "Birdie no!" The cry came from the redheaded girl. Crescent Rose was in its sniper rifle form, Ruby rapidly firing to lessen the impact. It was then changed to its scythe form to where Ruby grabbed onto a single tree branch and spun around and round.

Next was Weiss, who gives herself a glyph platform to propel off of. Then, with Nora and Ren. Ren latches onto a tree trunk and uses his weapons to smoothly make his way down in a spiral, landing gracefully, brushing off his shoulders. He looks around to see he's lost Nora.

He looks up to see Yang firing herself deeper and deeper into the forest, sounding like she's having the time of her life. "Alioop," her enjoyment is very visible with the enormous grin present.

"Man, it was so fun to do that, I wish we could do it again at some point," Yang says with a smile.

Yang blasts herself through the trees and uses them as leverage to bounce off others, before landing with a front roll. "Nailed it."

Pyrrha is shielding herself from the incoming trees that crash into her. Landing on a branch, her spear is in rifle mode, scoping out the area. She spots Jaune screaming while free falling. Her rifle transforms into her spear and sticks out her thumb, aiming. Her spear blasts off with a bang, and the sound of Jaune being caught as well thanking Pyrrha could be heard. "Thank you!"Pyrrha just apologizes for saving his life. "I'm sorry!"

"What are you apologizing for? You just saved his life!" Yang yells.

"You continue to apologize as if you would offend them somehow." Blake says, not realizing she hit the nail directly on the head. Jaune picks up Pyrrha's hand, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."

Pyrrha gives Jaune a warm and tiny blush from the contact.

The camera shows a random spot in the Emerald Forest, zooming in, before showing Ruby land, take off and continuously repeat in her head to find Yang. "Yang! Yang!"

"Yeah, there's no way I'd be where you're looking, I launched myself a lot farther than that," Yang tells her sister.

"Aww, this is bad, this is really bad. What if I can't find her, what if someone finds her first." Ruby's thoughts continue, above her head are her thoughts created, showing Jaune holding his hand out for her. "There's always Jaune, he's nice, he's funny. I don't think he's very good in a fight though."

"Hey!" Said boy yells. "I mean, is she wrong though?" Raider asked the boy. "I'm getting better, I have a great teacher to help me!" He turns to Pyrrha.

Her vision shows Jaune getting mauled by wolves. "Oh! What about Blake?"

Her ear flicked upon hearing her name.

"So mysterious, so calm, plus she likes books! Then again, I'm not sure I'd be able to hold a conversation with her." She shakes her head and the doodles disappear.

"Do people really think they can't talk to me?" Blake asks. She looks over at her friends, then Yang who gives her an iffy gesture with her hand.

"Ok, who else do I know in this school? There's Yang, Jaune, Blake annnd…." Ruby skids herself to a halt and makes direct eye contact with Weiss. Ruby gives a smile, but Weiss just starts to walk off.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Ruby calls after. But Weiss just keeps on walking. "We're supposed to be teammates," she says, kicking the ground beneath her.

Weiss is shown struggling as she tries to make her way through the brush. She hears mumbling her above her and sees Jaune trying to detach himself from the tree trunk.

"I don't mean to be rude, Jaune. But, one could be partners with Ruby or one could be partners with you," Weiss says, not knowing if she should have those words or not.

Jaune's expression let her know that he wasn't offended, "Don't worry, I understand. This is my past self we're talking about. And let's be honest, I would've been the least…reliable choice."

Jaune nervously waves at her, but she walks back where she came. "By no means does this make us friends," Weiss says, grabbing Ruby by her hood and dragging her along with her. "You came back!" Ruby shouts in delight.

The screen is shown from Jaune's point, "Wait, come back! Who's going to get me down from her?"

"Oh, sorry, I guess I should have done that at least when I was going to go back to Ruby." Again, Jaune told Weiss that there were no hard feelings.

"Jaune", Pyrrha calls down from below. "Do you… have any spots left on your team?" Jaune crosses his arms, "Very funny." As well as a frown, that turned into a warm smile, Pyrrha returning the gesture.

"What's the hurry?" Ruby asks Weiss as they make their way through the forest. "I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow. I swear if I get a bad grade because you're-" She was ultimately cut off, and surprised, when Ruby appeared in front of her in less than a second. And moving her hands as if she were a mare on her hind legs.

"What the-?" Ruby points her thumb at herself with a proud smile, "I'm not slow, see? You don't have to worry about me."

"When did-?"

"Weiss, just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters."

Ruby wraps an arm around Weiss. "You're about to see a whole different side of me today Weiss. And after it's all over you're gonna be 'Wow, that Ruby girl is really, really cool, and I want to be her friend." And without saying a word, Ruby dispersed into petals and disappeared.

The bushes around Weiss begin to rustle.

Ruby and Weiss immediately recognized what was going to happen next while others were confused on why Ruby left so suddenly.

"You may be fast, but you still excel at wasting time!" When Weiss doesn't get a response, her posture falters and she begins to show her nervousness. "Ruby!" Weiss looks forward towards a certain patch of brush, the area around it darkens. As she moves her body, a pair of red eyes are visible behind her. From the brush comes a low growl, the camera circles to show more red eyes.

A large grimm finally makes itself known to Weiss, and the same girl calls out for her new partner again as the grimm screeches at her.

And then the screen goes black.

*Volume Outro*

"That's where it ends? What happened?" Yang asks frantically.

"What happens is that me and Ruby were terrible at communicating with one another in battle," Weiss states and Ruby nods as that was the best way one could put it.
