Team RWBY are entering their dorm room.
Yang: Ugh, we should have never let him play!
Ruby: You're just mad cuz' the new guy beat you! See, if you had just attacked when I told you none of this would have happened.
As they enter, Blake approaches the door to leave.
Weiss: Stop.
Weiss points at Blake. Blake's hand retracts from the door knob.
Weiss: Lately you've been quiet, antisocial and moody!
Yang: Uh, have you met Blake?
Weiss: Which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong!
Weiss flips through the air as six copies of her emblem fly through the air.
Weiss: So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?
Weiss points her finger at Blake again.
Weiss is shown to be balancing precariously on a chair's back feet. She quickly puts the chair away and returns to stand near the girls.
Blake: I just, I don't understand how everyone can be so calm.
Ruby is approaching Blake.
Ruby: You're still thinking about Torchwick?
Blake: Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!
Yang: Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsmen, I'm sure they can handle it.
Blake: Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do!
Weiss: Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, almost stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells!
Ruby: Uh, who?
Weiss: But let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!
Ruby: Well yeah, but...
Weiss: We're not ready!
Blake: And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day.
Blake is pointing toward the door.
Blake: They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!
Ruby raises her hand and does other random gestures, while looking manic.
Ruby: Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye.
Yang pumps her fist enthusiastically and points at Blake.
Yang: Yes! I love it when you're feisty!
Weiss: Well, I suppose it could be fun.
Ruby: None of you said aye!
Blake: Alright then, we're in this together!
Ruby: (gesturing) Let's hatch a plan!
Yang: ("Double-guns" at Ruby.) Yeah!
Ruby gasps as she freaks out.
Ruby: I left my board game at the library!
Weiss places her hand to her head.
Weiss: We're doomed.
Ruby is running out of the room and down the hallway.
Ruby: I'll be right back!
The sound of collision is heard as Ruby seems to slam into someone.
Ruby: Oo-oof! Oh g-!
Ruby looks up.
Ruby: Sorry. Are you okay?
Emerald: I'm fine.
Emerald offers her hand.
Emerald: Just watch where you're going.
Ruby is shown to be slouched on the ground as she takes Emerald's hand. Mercury stands beside them.
Ruby: Oh, right, sorry.
Ruby continues to speak as Emerald helps her to her feet.
Ruby: Um, I'm Ruby! Are you new?
Emerald steps aside to reveal Cinder as she approaches.
Cinder: Visiting from Haven, actually.
Emerald turns to look at Cinder.
Ruby stares for a moment and Cinder stares back.
Ruby: Ooh! You're here for the festival! But exchange students have their own dormitory.
Mercury: I guess we just got turned around.
Ruby: Hey, don't worry, it happens all the time.
Mercury and Emerald walk past Ruby.
Ruby: Uh, your building is just east of here.
Cinder: Thanks.
Cinder walks past Ruby, gesturing in acknowledgement.
Cinder: Maybe we'll see you around.
Ruby: Yeah, maybe!
Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder start walking away.
Ruby: Oh, uh, and welcome to Beacon!
The next day Weiss is patiently waiting out the minute left on her holographic clock displayed from her desk in the classroom of Professor Peter Port, whose dialogue is merely background nonsense as Jaune slides up next to Weiss.
Jaune: So, Weiss, y'know, uh, I-I was thinking after this, maybe we could go grab a bite to eat?
Jaune turns to the teacher for a second, then turns back around.
Jaune: And, uh um, I-I've got two tickets to that new Spruce Willis movie, if you wanna make the trip to Vale. I hear it's awesome.
Jaune pauses as his words have no effect.
Jaune: Aaaand maybe after that, we could study together? I mean, you're smart and I'm, uh... Y'know.
Finally, the clock in front of Weiss gives a shrill beep as it changes from 3:59 to 4:00, and she dismisses it with a wave of her hand. The professor is temporarily unaware of the alarm.
Port is posing as a towering monster about to attack.
Port: And then I— Oh.
Port straightens his stance as the students start to leave.
Port: Timed that one wrong, I guess. Well, the stunning conclusion to this story will have to wait. Until next time!
Jaune is watching Weiss as she packs up her scroll.
Jaune: Weiss? Did you hear me?
Weiss is not even looking at Jaune as she walks away.
Weiss: No, no, no, yes.
Upon hearing this, Jaune groans and does a faceplant into his desk. As the rest of team RWBY walks out of class behind him, Yang ruffles Jaune's hair without even looking.
Yang: One day.
A few hours later team RWBY are in their dorm. Ruby straps the red laces on her shoes, Weiss is gripping the handle of Myrtenaster that is strapped to her side, Yang has Ember Celica over her left forearm as she slides the chamber, and Blake is tightening the black ribbons around her arms. Team RWBY are now wearing new outfits. Blake is approaching her bunk as she tightens her wraps.
Blake: I thought that class would never end.
Ruby: Alright, guys, today's the day! The investigation begins!
Ruby happily leaps off her mattress and onto the floor, arms raised excitedly. Ruby almost lands on Weiss, who is on the bottom bunk.
Weiss: (sarcastically) I'm glad to see we're taking this so seriously.
Yang: Hey, we've got a plan! That's... moderately serious.
Ruby: Right!
Ruby looks around at her teammates.
Ruby: Everyone remember their roles?
Weiss stands up.
Weiss: You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other dust robberies or inconsistencies. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem.
Blake: The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning.
Yang: I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale. Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard...
Ruby: Great! We'll meet up tonight near Yang to go over what we found.
Ruby is pumping her fist.
Ruby: Let's do this!
Sun: Yeah!
Sun is hanging upside-down by his tail in their open window. The whole team is shocked. Blake is surprised and alarmed.
Blake: Sun!
Yang: How did you get up there?
Sun: Ah, it's easy; I do it all the time.
Weiss: You do what?!
Sun: I climb trees all the time!
Without reacting to Weiss' scowl, Sun flips into the dorm room.
Sun: So, are we finally getting back at that Torchwick guy?
Blake is stepping forward.
Blake: We are going to investigate the situation... as a team.
Ruby: Sorry, Sun. We don't want to get friends involved if we don't have to.
Sun: Psh! That's dumb! We should always get friends involved! That's why I brought Neptune!
Sun is gesturing out the window. The girls lean out the window on top of one another cartoon-style to see the aforementioned teammate of Sun's standing outside, cool as can be.
Neptune: 'Sup?
Ruby: How did you even get up here?
Neptune: I have my ways.
Neptune: (nervously) Seriously, though, can I come in? We're like, really high up right now.
Inside the dorm room, the group is standing in a circle as Ruby lays down the new plan.
Ruby: Alright, I'll go with Weiss. Sun, you can go with Blake. And Neptune, you can go with Yang since she doesn't have a partner. Everyone good?
Unknowing to team RWBY, Sun, and Neptune someone was walking by when she heard their plan.
Cara: 'I got to Warn Mando and Habib . If I remember correctly Mando told me that Roman is on a mission for Auradon.'
Cara starts walking to her dorm.
