I woke the next morning to Ruby blowing a whistle. The shrill noise reverberated in my ear drums. I stayed laying down.

"Gooooood morning team REWBY!" Ruby yelled

"What in the world is wrong with you?" Weiss complained

"Now that you're awake, we can official begin our first order of business."

"Um, Ruby, Elaine is still asleep..." Yang pointed out. I rolled my eyes, even though they were closed.

"Oh. WAKE UP, ELAINE!!!" Ruby yelled.

"Please spare my eardrums." I mumbled. Ruby then dragged me out of bed and forced me to stand beside her.

"Okay! Now that BOTH of your leaders are awake, we can start decorating!"

"What?" Weiss asked

"We still have to unpack." Blake commented as he bag opened and its contents spilled onto the floor. "And clean." Ruby blew on her whistle again.

"That's it!" I snatched her whistle and squeezed it in my fist until it cracked in two. "Problem solved."

"H-how could you?"

"I snatched it. Okay, everyone, start unpacking, Weiss and I need to change. I headed into the bathroom and pulled on the school uniform. It wasn't my style, and most definitely wasn't my color. I sighed. I walked out of the bathroom, leaving the door open for Weiss. I walked over to my collection of bags. I began piling out my stuff. I walked over to Blake and began to pile some of my books on the shelves. Then, I pulled out a small sheet of cloth. On it, was a spinning wheel, yet a drop of blood was falling from the needle. This was a design I had made for my emblem when I was very young, before everything that happened. I took out a pin and pushed it through the cloth, sticking it to the wall. Afterward, I took my daggers and placed them on a holder I had brought, which I also stuck to the wall. In the end, there was nowhere near enough room for our beds to fit.

"This isn't going to work.' Weiss observed.

"It is a bit cramped."

"Maybe we should ditch some stuff?"

"Or we could ditch the beds. And replace them with bunk beds!" I smiled. I could get behind that Idea! I looked toward my bed. I knew since we had five beds one would probably still be on the floor, but I wasn't about to let that happen. I got out some rope, and began to hoist my bed into the air, and eventually I was able to hang it from the center of the ceiling and leave the rope hanging down.

"Um, that sounds incredibly dangerous." Weiss cautioned

"And super awesome!" Yang cheered

"It does seem efficient..." Blake agreed

"Well, we should put it to a vote!"

"Weiss, you're way out voted on this one." I said while hanging upside down by my legs.
