No one Pov

The scene changes again a blonde tackles her sister in a hug aboard the large airship to Beacon, crushing the air out of her.

Blonde: Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!

Ruby: (gasping) Please stop.

Blonde: (releasing her sister) But I'm so proud of you!

Ruby: Really Sis, it was nothing.

Blonde: What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees.

Ruby: I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees.

Blonde: What's with you? Aren't you excited?

Ruby: Of course I'm excited... I just... (sighing) "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything.

Blonde: (going over and giving her sister a one-armed hug) But you are special.

The girls' attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on Vale News Network playing nearby, talking about the robbery and showing Roman's mug shot.

Cyril: The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa.

The mugshot changes to Lisa Lavender, with a photo of animal-eared demonstrators holding signs saying "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" followed by an image of the logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks.

Lisa: Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted...

The news feed is cut off as a hologram of Glynda replaces it.

Glynda: Hello, and welcome to Beacon!

Blonde: Who's that?

Glynda: My name is Glynda Goodwitch.

Blonde: Oh.

Glynda: You are among a privileged few who 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)

Ruby: (among several other cries of surprise) Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here! (Ruby and other students look through the glass walls at the town below) I guess home isn't too far after all!

Y/N: Home will always stay with you deep down.

Ruby: Ahh!

Blonde: Oh? Who are you?

Y/N: I'm Y/N. I didn't mean to scare you Ruby.

Blonde: I'm Yang handsome~ Ruby's older sister~

Ruby: Just don't appear from no where.

Yang: How do you know Ruby?

Y/N: I helped Ruby stop a robbery. Unfortunately Roman Torchwick got away. As I said earlier our thoughts of home are always with us.

Yang: I guess that's true but Beacon's our home, now.

The three hear a passenger groaning and hunched over nearby, running to the back of the ship.
