The buzz of an alarm clock screams in the darkened room as the sounds of groans and tired moans become apparent from the room. A female hand snakes over to the clock to pick it up and look at the time letting out a sigh as they see the time. "Sigh, come on everyone." the girl says as she puts the clock back on the nightstand "It's time to wake up," she says as she hears another growl from the room.

"Five more minutes." a softer voice says from the dark.

"Elizabeth, we clicked the snooze button at least six times by now." the girl says as her figure rises from her bed and moves over to the window blinds.

"But I'm too tired to get up," she said as the girl's figure reached the blinds and took hold of them pulling them open and revealing the light from the sun outside. The sounds of protest immediately came from the room residents as the girl, now revealed to be naked, turned to the rest of her team.

"It's the day of the initiation, new students, new friends, and plenty of opponents," she said as she turned around and sat on the window seal with a smirk. She was then covered by a black clock with a white symbol. She turns to the person who put the cloak on her only to see her brother wearing a hoodie walking to the door with a full mask.

"Please keep in mind other people looking from outside the window," he says as he puts the mask on his face and walks out the room leaving the rest of his team in the room.

"He needs to get more friends." a deep male voice says the covered-up girl nods to him.

"That he does." She says putting her sunglasses on. "But for now we have to get through initiation."

"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me this is the best day ever." a blond girl says as she hugs a red hooded girl as the girl gasps.
"Please stop." the girl says out of breath as the blond finally releases her from the death hug beginning to talk.

"But I'm so proud of you," she says, moving excitedly.

"Really sis it was nothing." the red girl said staying humble.

"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees." the blond says as she tries to cheer up her sister only for her to protest her statement.

"I don't want to be on the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be on any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees," she says as her blond sister looks at her with a questioning look.

"What's with you? Aren't you excited?" she asked, ensuring she was okay with the recent development.

"Of course I'm excited... I just..." she pauses and sighs to collect herself. "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything," she says as she doubts herself. Only for her sister to cheer her up with a one-armed hug.

"But you are special," she says smiling at her sister until they hear a voice come from a holographic screen. The screen showed a mug shot of an orange-haired man with very flamboyant clothes.

"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa." the male voice says as the picture of Roman disappears and is replaced with a mob of people with different animalistic traits. The man at the front holds a sign that says "We are not animals.!" that was followed by a glowing red wolf's head with three red scratches across it.

The white-haired reporter, whose face was next to the aforementioned picture, begins to speak about the story. "Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now been disrupted-" but she was cut off as the feed was cut and replaced by a hologram of a blonde-haired woman with a pencil skirt and a white shirt on appears.

"Hello, and welcome to Bacon," she says with a professional tone.

"Who's that?" Yang asks as she leans over to Ruby.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." the Holographic girl says getting an attainable "oh" from Yang. Goodwitch then continues with the original message. "You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Glinda then flickers and disappears showing the beautiful landscape and scenery. The sounds of surprise and aww sounds throughout the vehicle. Some people walk up to the windows pointing at the land below. Ruby then joins with the rest of the others "Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here!" she says as she looks at a school-like building far down below. "I guess home isn't too far after all!" she says with a slightly saddened but exciting tone. Yang then put her arm around her sister's shoulder and reassured her.

"Beacon's our home, now," she said with a smile. The present moment is cut short as the two of them hear a blonde passenger groan and look to see him hunched over seemingly about to barf. The boy then runs to the back of the ship making noises as he goes. "Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang says with a roll of her eyes.

"It was a nice moment while it lasted," Ruby says as she looks over at her sister

The ship then flies over the large body of water near Beacon.

" I wonder who we're gonna meet!" yang enthusiastically says to her sister

"I just hope they're better than vomit boy," Ruby says with a slightly disgusted voice. Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!" she says.

"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!"

"Get-Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!"
