The scenes opens to a character's eyes wearily opening and closing before waking up fully and seeing a ginger fill their view.

Ginger: Wake up, lazy butt! (dashes to the side)

The camera shifts to show a make with black hair and a magenta strip get up with a groan as the ginger hounds him.

Ginger: (singing) It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!

The male sighs again and the scene changes to him brushing his teeth in the restroom while the ginger continues to talk.

Ginger: I can't believe we've been at Beacon for a full twenty-four hours! Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything, I mean, you're the perfect student and I'm... well, I'm me! But it's just crazy, you know?

The scene changes to the ballroom, where the two are readying themselves. The Ginger is brushing her hair and still chattering while the male is tightening the strings on his sleeping bag.

Ginger: We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not "together-together..." Not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome; you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?

The scene changes again as the two are in the middle of eating their breakfast, the gingr having a pancake hanging from her mouth as she is still talking.

Ginger: (muffled through her food) Right! What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together! (slurps up the rest of her pancake) Oohhhh! We should come up with some sort of plan, to make sure we end up on the same team together! What if we bribe the headmaster? No, that won't work. He has the school.

The scene changes again as the two are readying themselves in the locker room, the male loading his guns and the ginger still talking.

Ginger: I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! (gasps) A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?

Male: (finally replying) Nora?

Nora: Yes, Ren?

Ren: (sheathing his weapons in his sleeves) I don't think sloths make a lot of noise.

Nora: (thinks about this for a moment) That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!

Ren: (smiling and shutting his locker) Come on Nora, let's go.

Nora: Not "together-together..." (giggles)

Ren heads out while a skipping Nora follows, passing Ruby and Yang as they are busy readying themselves.

Ruby: Wonder what those two are so worked up about?

Yang: Oh, who knows? So, you seem awfully chipper this morning!

Ruby: Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking. (strokes Crescent Rose as she sighs happily) 'And maybe show off my new semblance.'

Yang: Well, remember, Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together.

Ruby: (sighs in frustration) You sound like Dad! (shoves her weapon into the locker) Okay, first of all: What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly: I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!

Yang: But what about when we form teams?

Ruby: (suddenly nervous) Um, I don't know, I... I'll just be on your team or something...
