RWBY x T.A.O.TRQS (Vol. 1)

4. First Step Pt.1

[In the Beacon Ballroom]

Nora's POV

Nora: "Wake up, lazy butt!" (dashes to the side)

Lie Ren gets up with a groan as Nora hounds him.

Nora: (singing) "It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!"

Lie Ren sighs again and the scene changes to him brushing his teeth in the restroom while Nora continues to talk.

Nora: "I can't believe we've been at Beacon for a full twenty-four hours! Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything, I mean, you're the perfect student and I'm... well, I'm me! But it's just crazy, you know?"

The scene changes to the ballroom, where the two are readying themselves. Nora is brushing her hair and still chattering while Ren is tightening the strings on his sleeping bag.

Nora: "We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not "together-together..." Not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome; you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?"

The scene changes again as the two are in the middle of eating their breakfast, Nora having a pancake hanging from her mouth as she is still talking.

Nora: (muffled through her food) "Right! What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together! (slurps up the rest of her pancake) Oohhhh! We should come up with some sort of plan, to make sure we end up on the same team together! What if we bribe the headmaster? No, that won't work. He has the school."

The scene changes again as the two are readying themselves in the locker room, Ren loading StormFlower and Nora still talking.

Nora: "I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! (gasps) A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?"

Ren: (finally replying) "Nora?"

Nora: "Yes, Ren?"

Ren: (sheathing his weapons in his sleeves) "I don't think sloths make a lot of noise."

Nora: (thinks about this for a moment) "That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!"

Ren: (smiling and shutting his locker) "Come on Nora, let's go."

Nora: "Not "together-together..." *giggles*

[In the locker room]

Ruby's POV

Ruby: "Wonder what those two are so worked up about?"

Yang: "Oh, who knows? So, you seem awfully chipper this morning!"

Ruby: "Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." *strokes Crescent Rose as she sighs happily*

T-Burn: *burst through door* "I'm here and not even late!"

Ruby: "Hi T-Burn."

T-Burn: "Hey Ruby."

Swift: "Your 10 minutes late."

T-Burn: *hangs head down* "Really."

Swift: "Yup."

T-Burn: "So, why didn't you wake me up?."

Rick: "I told him not to because you need to learn how to wake yourself up. We are not always gonna be together."

T-Burn: "Ok, I'll try."

Ruby: "Now what were you saying Yang?"

Yang: "Oh yeah, just remember, Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together."
