First Person, Shao Ip.
Ruby, Jaune, and I were entering Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. Ruby then looks over when she hears Yang's voice.

Yang: (waving) Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!

Ruby: *to Jaune and I* Oh! Hey, I-I gotta go! I'll see you two after the ceremony! *leaves*

Me: *waves* Alright, see ya Ruby.

Jaune: Hey, wait! *sighs* Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?!

Jaune moves on to reveal Pyrrha standing behind him, hand on her hips as she watches him walk away. I turn behind myself and sees the red haired girl.

Ip: *mentally* Strong build, lean physique, cute look... *blushes but shakes his head* Agh! Never mind that! She would be perfect for the assassins.

Third Person
Ruby came over to Yang and crossed her arms as she pouts.

Yang: How's your first day going, little sister?

Ruby: You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?

Yang: Yikes! Meltdown already?

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

Yang: *smiling broadly* Are you being sarcastic?

Ruby: *scoffs as the camera pans around to reveal Weiss right next to her* I wish! 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!

Weiss: You!

Ruby: *quickly jumping into her sister's arms* Oh, God, it's happening again!

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

Yang: *deadpan* Oh my God, you really exploded.

Ruby: It was an accident. *getting down; to Weiss* It was an accident! *Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled "DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals" to Ruby* What's this?

Weiss: *listing off policies to a clueless and horrified Ruby, going faster and higher pitched with each word* 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.

Ruby: Uuhhh...?

Weiss: You really wanna start making things up to me?

Ruby: Absolutely?

Ruby: Absolutely?

Weiss: *handing the pamphlet to Ruby* Read this, and don't ever speak to me again.

Yang: Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?

Ruby: *putting the pamphlet away* Yeah! Great idea, sis! *holding out her hand as she clears her throat* Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!

Weiss: *seemingly enthusiastic* Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!

Jaune: Hm?

Ruby: Wow, really?!

Weiss: *dead silence under her glare* No.
