Raven:  You stole an Atlas ship?

Gunslinger: I didn't, it's an old model they discontinued, I just put it back into working condition.

He then presses a button on the control panel on his wrist and the hanger door opens.

Gunslinger: Now come on if your father is as cold-hearted as I remember then Qrow is in trouble.

Raven: Alright, thanks for doing this.

Gunslinger: I am not doing this for you.

Raven: I know but thank you anyway.

Cayde says nothing and just goes to the cockpit and Raven takes the seat beside him, and Cayde prepares for take-off.

Raven was nervous at first but as they rise up to the sky her worries quickly dissipate, and an awkward silence fills the room.

Raven: When did you get the ship?

Gunslinger: ...

Raven: Uh...Do you ever think about our days back at Beacon?

Gunslinger: ...

Raven: Do you remember that time we snuck out past curfew and Goodwitch caught us making out in the Hall?

Gunslinger: We will talk when we get back alright.

Raven: R...right sorry.

Cayde just sighs and looks out the window at the open ocean.

Flashback

Beacon Courtyard

Year 1 Day 0

A young dirty blonde man is staring out into the lake on his way to Beacon Acadamy.

Tai: Hey Rement to Cayde.

Cayde: Huh?

But he is brought back to reality by his best friend

The new batch of first-year students disembark off the bullhead and take their first steps on the Beacon campus, most of the students started to make their own way to the amphitheater, but two blonde students stayed in the courtyard for a little while longer, taking a selfie in front of the fountain to commemorate.

Cayde: Okay you got it?

Tai: Aaaalmooosttt *click* got it!

Cayde is wearing a brown leather jacket with a copper-red shirt underneath and jeans.

Cayde: *Relax* Good thing you're in Beacon because you would make a terrible photographer.

Tai: Hey, my at least my photography is better than your swimming skills.
