The Grimm Huntress

The Shining Beacon Pt. 2

Eclipse, Ruby, and Jaune entered Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. Ruby and Eclipse look over when they hear Yang's voice.

"Guys! Over here! I saved you a spot!

"Oh! Hey, w-we've gotta go! We'll see you after the ceremony!"

"See you dork." Eclipse saluted and sauntered off.

"Hey, wait!" He sighed. "Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?!"

Yang, once the other two join her, arms crossed asked,"How's your first day going, little siblings?"

Eclipse sighed and just gave up on arguing.

"You mean since you ditched us and I exploded?"

"Yikes! Meltdown already?" Yang asked, thinking that that was the worst thing that could happen.

"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?" Ruby explained to her sister.

"There was definitely ice," Eclipse said with her face mask still on. "I should know; you sneezed it in my face. Which is disgusting by the way, cover your mouth next time."

Yang smiled broadly. "Are you two being sarcastic?"

"I wish!" Ruby scoffed. "I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!"

"You!" Weiss yelled.

Ruby quickly jumped into her sister's arms. "Oh, God, it's happening again!"

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"

"Oh my God, you really exploded," Yang deadpanned then mumbled, "No wonder Eclipse has her face mask on again."

"It was an accident," Ruby said to Weiss, getting down. "It was an accident!"

Weiss held up a pamphlet titled 'DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals' to Ruby. "What's this?"

Weiss started listing off policies to a clueless and horrified Ruby, "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while 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 to Dust applications and practices in the field."

"Uuhhh...?"

"You really wanna start making things up to me?" Weiss asked Ruby.

"Absolutely?"

Weiss, handing the pamphlet to Ruby, said immediately after, "Read this, and don't ever speak to me again."

"Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot," Yang said trying to help. Eclipse didn't bother and had zoned out immediately when the yelling started again. "Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?"

Ruby put the pamphlet away and tried being her enthusiastic self again. "Yeah! Great idea, sis!" She held out her hand as she cleared her throat. "Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"

Weiss faked being enthusiastic. "Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!"

"Hm?"

"Wow, really?!" Ruby exclaimed.

"No." Weiss glared.
