"Well, at least we finally got someone to point us the right way" Jaune exclaimed as the three recently-made friends walked down the courtyard and into the Main Hall of Beacon, thanks to the help of one of the teachers of the academy - nimble, overzealous, and clever in nature. Sporting green messy hair, green eyes, pale skin, and smelling of coffee and sweat. Wearing a shaggy white business shirt with a yellow tie with the collar open, black trousers and matching shoes, as well as a pair of spectacles over his eyes. The teacher was fast and hyper as Jaune, Ruby and Noctis had witnessed him running around wildly - papers flying everywhere and coffee spilling from his mug everywhere. Of course, he had stopped to help the lost students, giving them directions which they could barely understood, and just like that, he lickety-split out of there. Noctis remembered the name tag the teacher wore. "Mr. Oobleck, was his name?" He asked. "Yeah, he seemed kinda nice" Ruby answered gleefully. "Yeah, maybe this school won't be all that bad." "Guess so" Jaune remarked as they proceeded to the ceremony room. "Although I think he should stay off the coffee" Noctis clarified, "he probably drinks more of the stuff than Ignis."
"Who?" Jaune asked. "You'll see." The three enter the Main Hall, as hundreds of students were found standing around, chatting, and awaiting Proffessor Ozpin's speech before being dismissed. They stood amazed and dumbfounded at the amazing sight before them as the Main Hall was way bigger and more beautiful than anything they could imagine, maybe even beyond that. 'But Beacon's got nothing on home' Noctis thought - thinking back to the shining Crown City in all of it's glory. They lost their train of thoughts - lost in the amazing sight, until the familiar voice of Ruby's sister called out for her; "Ruby! Over here" she waved for Ruby, "I saved you a spot!" She recognized her sister immediately and had to leave the boys for now. "Oh! That's my sister Yang" Ruby exclaimed, "I'll see you two after the ceremony." She wandered off to her sister, leaving Noctis and Jaune - the prince and knight alone. "Hey Noct!" Noctis heard as he heard Prompto's voice, and saw the Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus standing on the opposite side from Ruby and Yang. "Who're those guys?" Jaune points and asks. "Oh, those are my friends. I'll catch up with you and Ruby later" Noctis said, as he trekked towards his friends and avoiding bumping into people by accident. "Noct! Wait!" Jaune tried to call for him, "Ruby! Uh..." Jaune was found standing alone right now - nobody recognizable or familiar to him as he had no friends or family around. He currently stood in silence and moped, surrounded by a large, and unfitting crowd. "Great, now where am I going to find a nice, quirky girl and cool prince to talk to now?" Jaune questioned as he walked away, but not before catching the attention of a red-headed, and emerald-eyed champion.

Over to Ruby and Yang, the two sisters had met back up and awaited for the headmaster's speech. "So how was your first day at Beacon little sister? Did you and Noctis get together yet?" Yang asked with a wink, disgusting Ruby the slightest to that remark. "Ew! Yang! Gross! I don't want anything to do with boys! And I don't even have an interest in Noctis!" Yang shrugged her shoulders and said "Well, okay, if you say so little sis. But, how was you day anyways?" Ruby glared daggers at her sister as she still held a grudge against her for abandoning her and Noctis. "Oh? You mean after you, Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto took off without us and I exploded" Ruby pouted. "Yikes. Meltdown already? I didn't think you were that mad after I left you behind."
"No! I literally exploded a hole in the front of the school" Ruby corrected Yang, "and there was some fire, and I-I think some ice..."
"Are you being sarcastic?" Yang questioned her sister. "Ugh, I wish!" Ruby exclaimed, unaware of Weiss' presence behind her. "Me and Noct tripped over some crabby rich girl's luggage! Then she yelled at us! And then I sneezed! And then I exploded! And then she yelled at me more! And Noctis and her were having an arguement! And I felt really, really bad, and I wanted her to stop yelling at us." Weiss's glare grew as she heard Ruby talking about her and her 'accident' earlier, as Yang and Ruby were unbeknown that she was there. "YOU!" Weiss finally, angrily called behind the red caped girl, causing her to jump into her sister's arms startled of the sudden outburst. "Oh no, it's happening again" Ruby terrifyingly said. "You were lucky you weren't blown off the side of the cliff! And that the prince was backing you up" Weiss yelled. "My god, you really exploded" Yang confirmed as Ruby stepped out of Yang's arms with pleading puppy-dog eyes for Weiss, hoping to receive forgiveness. "It was an accident! It was an accident!" Weiss had ignored Ruby's apology and pleas, as she reached into her coat pocket and protruded a small pamphlet titled "DUST for Dummies", and held it up to Ruby's face as she was unfamiliar to the pamphlet. "What's this?" "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product" Weiss explained. "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 couldn't follow what the heiress was saying (mostly how it seemed Weiss' voice was speeding up like the someone hit the Fast Forward button of a tape recorder) as she stared blankly at the pamphlet. "Uh..." Was all the red-caped girl could say. "You really want to make thing up for me?" "Absolutely" Ruby answered with a wince; receiving the pamphlet from Weiss before she concluded "read this, and don't ever speak to me again." "Look..." Yang awkwardly scratched the back of her head, "maybe you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you try and start all over again and try to be friends, okay?" Yang suggested with a hopeful smile. "Great idea sis!" Ruby had cleared her throat and had a friendly composure as she raised her hand out for Weiss. "Hello Weiss! I'm Ruby. Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"
"Yeah!" Weiss sarcastically agrees, "and we can paint our nails, and talk about tall, blonde, and scraggly over there!" She points behind her to where Jaune Arc, and Prompto are standing close to each other, catching their attention. "Wow! Really?!" Ruby cheerfully asks. "......No!" Weiss finally snaps.
