Shadow stood in the Shuttle headed toward Beacon, watching the clouds rush by, and the sea showing a glimmer like a jewel's shine. His Rebel's Dagger was sheathed and on his hip, but covered by his black coat that nearly touched the floor. The only way to see the dagger was to stand in front of him, but just to see the hilt of the dagger. His mask covered his eyes, but his green eyes were visible as it had eye-holes it the mask. He shook his head thinking of how much he had to do to get here, he didn't really want to think about it. He pulled out his scroll and begun looking for music to listen to. While looking, he was bumped from behind which made him look to see who it was. The girl seemed roughly young, maybe 15 at least for how she looked.
Red Cloak Girl: Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you, I...I was looking for someone.
Shadow slightly smiled at this girls inoccent apology.
Shadow: No worries. This shuttle is quite crowded so I wouldn't expect much. Speaking of which, who are you looking for?
The girl looked down for a second before looking back at Shadow.
Red Cloak Girl: I'm looking for my sister, she's supposed to be on this shuttle, but I can't seem to find her.
Shadow: Do you mind if I help you look for your sister?
Red Cloak Girl: Oh! Yes! That would be so helpful, thank you so much!
Shadow: Before we begin, May I ask for your name?
Ruby: Oh, my name is Ruby, Ruby Rose.
Shadow: Nice to meet you, name's Shadow Strife.
Shadow reached out his hand for hand shake, which Ruby gladly accepted and shook Shadow's hand.
Ruby: Thank you Shadow, I'll make it up to you someday!
The search for Ruby's sister lasted about fifteen minutes, Ruby describing what her sister looked like so Shadow could find her quicker. While they did bump a few people they did eventually find Ruby's sister, who was definitely older than Ruby, maybe by two years.
Ruby: Yang! I finally found you, man it took me forever.
Yang: Ruby! Oh my goshhhh, my little sisters going to Beacon with me! I'm so proud of you!
Yang hugs Ruby tightly, while Shadow chuckles a bit while this is happening.
Ruby: (Slightly in pain from the tight hug) Ok..hehehe...you can stop now.
Yang: Oh sorry! (Let's go of Ruby) My bad, I'm just so proud of you for getting here!
Yang looked behind Ruby to see Shadow just watching the events unfold between sisters.
Yang: Well Sis, seems you already found a friend...(She winks at Ruby and Shadow)
Ruby: (Blushing and a bit angered) It's not like that Yang! I just accidentally bumped into him and he helped me find you!
Shadow: I take it that your Ruby's older sister, name's Shadow Strife, pleasure to meet you.
Yang: Name's Yang Xio Long, Older sister to Ruby. Thanks for helping Ruby find me, so I guess we're friends now.
Shadow shrugged while nodding agreeably. After that a hologram showed up, showing a teacher of some kind to give a lecture.
Teacher: Hello, and welcome to Beacon.
Yang: Who's that?
Glynda: My name is Glynda Goodwitch
Yang: Oh.
Glynda: You are among a privilege few to 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. (Disappears)
Everyone started turning to the windows of the shuttle, with the city of Vale and Becon Academy in view. Ruby and Yang even go to the windows to look.
Ruby: Wow! You can see Signal from up here!
Shadow soon joins them, taking a look out to enjoy the view of Vale.
Ruby: Guess home isn't so far away after all.
Yang: (Put's hand on Ruby's shoulder) Becon's our home now.
As they say that, a young blond boy is looking quite queasy, and started making a move to a trash can nearby, on the verge of vomiting.
Shadow: Guess the views not for everyone...*sigh*
Ruby: Well, it was fun while it lasted. Wonder who were gonna meet!
Yang: Hopefully someone better then Vomit Boy.
Ruby: (Notice's a bit of puke on Yang's shoe) Oh, Yang, gross, you have puke on you shoe!
Yang start's freaking out a bit, Shadow just stays back to avoid this conflict.
(Note: [] represents a thought that the characters are having.
Shadow: [Well, This will be quite...fun.]
