"Oh, I can't believe that my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" Yang exclaimed happily as she hugs Ruby tightly.

Right now, the girls and Damian, along with a few other freshmen are on an airship that is taking them straight to Beacon.

"Please stop." Ruby groaned.

Yang immediately lets her go and lightly hops on her feet. "But I'm so proud of you!" she exclaimed with a beaming smile.

"Really, sis, it was nothing." Ruby stated.

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

"I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay?" Ruby said as he anxiety over the entire situation finally kicking in. "I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal girl with normal knees." Ruby stated.

Damian scoffs at the very notion of the huntress being 'normal'. And went over to his beloved and said, "Normal?" he said sarcastically.

He then gives her an impish smirk. "Beloved you do realize that there's nothing normal about you especially when you take in both your heritage and lifestyle?" he stated.

Ruby glares at her boyfriend. "Shut up." She hissed.

"He has a point and what's with you? Aren't you excited?" Yang questioned.

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

Yang shakes her head as she walks closer to her sister and slings her arm around her shoulder. "But you are special." She stated.

But then their attentions are drawn to the sound of newscast playing on the holographic TV.

Which talked about the attempted robbery organized by Roman Torchwick and then about members of the white fang causing trouble again.

But before the newswomen could finish the screen is turned off and then replaced with a holographic image of Glynda Goodwitch.

"Hello, and Welcome to Beacon!" she stated.

"Who's that?" Yang questioned.

Ruby and Damian looked at for a moment like she was crazy, seriously? She does not know the face of one of the most famous Huntresses in the world!?

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh."

"You are among a privilege 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."

And with that the transmission ends and the hologram disappears.

But when it did many of the passengers could see the tops of buildings outside the windows.

"Wow." Ruby muttered as she runs over to the window to look outside.

"Look, you can see Signal from up here!" Ruby stated.

She smiles fondly, "I guess home isn't too far after all."

"Maybe. But Beacon is our home now beloved." Damian said as he grabs her by the hand.

Ruby looks at her boyfriend with a fond smile, "Yeah, You're right."

But their happy moment was ruined when they heard someone making a gagging sound.
