Weiss is patiently waiting out the minute left on her holographic clock displayed from her desk in the classroom of Professor Peter Port, whose dialogue is merely background nonsense as Jaune slides up next to Weiss.

Jaune: So, Weiss, y'know, uh, I-I was thinking after this, maybe we could go grab a bite to eat? *Turns to the teacher for a second, then turns back around.* And, uh um, I-I've got two tickets to that new Spruce Willis movie, if you wanna make the trip to Vale. I hear it's awesome. *Pauses as his words have no effect.* Aaaand maybe after that, we could study together? I mean, you're smart and I'm, uh... Y'know.

Finally, the clock in front of Weiss gives a shrill beep as it changes from 3:59 to 4:00, and she dismisses it with a wave of her hand. The professor is temporarily unaware of the alarm.

Port: *Posing as a towering monster about to attack.* And then I— Oh. *Straightens his stance as the students start to leave.* Timed that one wrong, I guess. Well, the stunning conclusion to this story will have to wait. Until next time!

Jaune: *Watching Weiss as she packs up her Scroll.* Weiss? Did you hear me?

Weiss: *Not even looking at Jaune as she walks away.* No, no, no, yes.

Upon hearing this, Jaune groans and does a faceplant into his desk.

Shadow: *pats him on the back* One day my friend...

Shadow begins to leave before Port stops him at the door.

Port: Shadow, I wish to inform you that you have been called by Ozpin to head up to the front of the school.

Shadow: Oh! Um...Thank you Professor Port. I'll make sure to head right over.

Port: I'm sure you'll like what you will see...

Shadow looks at Port as he walks away, having an eyebrow raised in confusion from what Port just said.

Shadow: [What do you exactly mean?]

Shadow heads out of the classroom and heads to the front of the school, where Ozpin awaits him.

Ozpin: Thank you for coming Shadow, you really make quick haste when something like this happens.

Shadow: Anything that is sent to me by you is quite important. So, what's going on?

Ozpin: *point's cane to his right* That is what is going on.

Shadow turns as a vehicle is covered in a white cloth, and a squid Faunus stands next to it, arms behind her back as Shadow smiles and hugs her.

Shadow: Amber!I'm so glad to see you!

Amber: It's good to see you as well, it's been a while.

The two separate from their hug as Shadow looks to the covered vehicle before looking back at Susie.
