In the morning, Ruby's eyes were fluttering as the sun hit her. She was about to get up but she felt a hand on her chest. Ruby pulled the blanket and revealed: It was Rex!

Ruby: (blushing deeply) AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ruby kicked Rex off her bed and fell on the floor headfirst.

Rex: Ow! What the heck, Ruby?

Blake: (starting to wake up) Would you please stop yelling?

Weiss: (starting to wake up as well) It's 7 in the morning.

Ruby: I'm sorry, but Rex, what are you doing in my bed?!

Rex: (groans) What are you talking about? I just needed to find a place to sleep, so I'd figure your bed is the best way to go.

Ruby: Yeah, but sleeping in my bed without permission!?

Yang: Wait, you two were sleeping together? That's so cute!

Ruby: (Blushing) It's not like that, Yang! You're not helping!

Rex: While you guys just getting up, I'm gonna hit the showers. And Yang.

Yang: What?

Rex: No peeking!

Yang: Aww!!

He went into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Blake: So, Ruby, did you and Rex didn't do anything weird, did you?

Ruby: No! When I woke up, his hand was actually on my... (Blushing) On my chest.

Weiss: So he was doing something weird!

Ruby: No, you've got it all wrong!

Yang: That little pervert!

Ruby: It's not like that, really! I swear, he would never do anything to me.

Blake: She's telling the truth.

Blake hears something in the bathroom where Rex is.

Blake: Do I hear music?

Weiss: Blake, not you too!

Blake: No, it's something else! Just listen.

The girls except Weiss poked their ears in the bathroom door hearing Rex singing.

(Start at 0:12)

Rex:
Come in, my friend, welcome to the party
But only if you're one of our kind

The adventure of our life is now starting
Robotnik's empire running out of time

We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound

While Rex was singing in the shower, the girls listened how good he sounds.

Hiding in the heart of the city
We plot and plan Robotnik's overthrow

It's a dirty job and no, it's not pretty
Always on the run, always laying low

We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound

Never know where we'll be found
We're the Sonic Underground

Ruby: (starry eyes) He sounded amazing!

Blake: I didn't even know he could sing.

Yang: I think he has a lot more talent than just fighting.

Weiss: He... actually sounds not that bad.

They heard the shower got turned off and quickly back away from the door. Rex came out of the bathroom fully dressed and saw team RWBY staring at him.

Rex: Uh, can I help you?

Ruby: Rex, you were singing!

Rex: Huh?

Yang: Dude, why didn't you tell us that you can sing?

Rex: Oh, you guys must've heard me.

Blake: Yes, we did. You know, you should sing to us more often.

Rex: You really think so?

Ruby: We know so!

Weiss: Since when can you sing?

Rex: In the Venti family, singing is our key to make people or something feel better. But, I'm not the only one who can sing.

Ruby: Who else?

Rex: It's me, sis, and Luke.

Blake: Wait, Luke can sing, too?

Rex: Yeah, we were gonna be singing buddies.

Yang: That sounds cool!

Rex: Come on, we have Ms. Goodwitch's battle class at 8:30.

(In the auditorium)

Jaune looks at Cardin, who laughs at his opponent's tiredness,

and Jaune gathers his strength to charge forward and swing his blade at Cardin, only for him to jump out of the way. Jaune looks back, surprised, as The Executioner sends Jaune's shield and himself flying back. Now only armed with his sword, Jaune continued to try and attack, but is blocked by the mace's hilt.

Their weapons locked, Cardin forces himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.

Cardin: This is the part where you lose.

Jaune: Over my dead-!

Jaune is cut short as Cardin knees him in the gut, making Jaune drop his sword and fall to the ground in pain.

Rin: Ooohhh!!!

Rex: Dang!

Luke: Cheap shot!

Cardin raises his mace and is about to slam it down on a worried Jaune just when the buzzer rings, the lights come back on, and Glynda's voice causes him to stop.

Glynda: Cardin, that's enough! (he relents and walks away as she comes onto the stage, tapping her tablet)

Glynda: Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match.

(while Jaune still lays on the floor in defeat and Pyrrha looks sad, Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team)

Glynda: Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?

Cardin: Speak for yourself...

Glynda: (to the seated and standing students, such as: Yang, punching the air in anticipation; Weiss, shaking her fists with an excited smile; and Ruby, shaking her entire body with enthusiastic energy while squealing softly) Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!

The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly.

Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame.

Rex: Hey. You ok, Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: I wish I could say the same to Jaune.

Rex: I think he might need some help.

Nora: So! There we were, in the middle of the night...

Ren (off screen): It was day.

Nora: (to Blake, paying no attention as she is lost in her book, and Yang, who is hanging on her every word with her hands cupping her face) We were surrounded by Ursai...

Ren: (holding a coffee cup) They were Beowolves.

Nora: Dozens of them! (she screams this as she stands at the table of both Team REBL, RWBY, and JNPR, where Weiss is ignoring Nora and filing her nails, Ruby and Pyrrha are listening politely, Elena was brushing her indigo hair, and Jaune is messing with his food)

Ren: Two of 'em.

Nora: (while Ruby and Pyrrha now look at a distant Jaune with concern) But they were no match... And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!

Elena: Um, was that really true?

Ren: (sighs) She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now.

Luke: Yeah, I think she made it up.

Pyrrha: (looking at her leader) Jaune? Are you okay?

Jaune: (snapping out of it, turning back toward them) Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?

Ruby: It's just that you seem a little...

Rex: You seem completely out of the blue. You sure you're alright, man?

Jaune: (as the others stop their distractions and stare at him) Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!

Briana: I can tell a fake smile when I see one.

Team CRDL, standing around a girl with brown rabbit ears jutting from her hair as Cardin laughs at her and Sky holds up his hands to his head in a mock interpretation of her unusual features.

Pyrrha: Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!

Jaune: Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!

Ruby: He's a bully.

Rex: He's a jerk.

Jaune: (scoffs) Oh, please! Name one time he's 'bullied' me.

Rin: Okay, what about the time he knocked the books off your hands?

Jaune is seen on the way to class as Cardin is going the other way down the hall. When the two pass, Cardin knocks his arm into Jaune and makes him drop his book, then continuing on his way with his hands out as if daring anyone to challenge him.

Jaune: Ah, come on!

Jaune: (Off-screen) That was an accident.

Briana: (Off-screen) The time he activated your shield and made you get stuck at the door?

Jaune and Cardin are about to pass through a doorway, but Cardin clicks on Jaune's sheath and extends it into its shield form as he's going out, causing him to run into his own defense and have it block the exit.

Jaune: (grunts in frustration as he tries to lift his shield back out) Come on...!

Jaune: (Off-screen) Maybe it activated by itself.

Glynda is in the locker room with several students, gesturing at the devices.

Glynda: Each of you will be assigned one rocket-propelled locker to store your weapons and extra armor. Additionally, your locker can be sent to a custom location based on a six-digit code.

Rex: (Off-screen) About the time he shoved you into a locker and blasted you out of the school?

Hearing this, Cardin looks at Jaune standing between him and the only open locker in the room and the cliché plays itself out as Cardin quickly pushes a shocked Jaune into the small dark space and closes the door on him, pressing random buttons on the pad right after that.

Jaune: What?! No, wait, wait! You've gotta get me out of here! Please! Don't! Don't! Don't do it!

It's too late to protest when the locker scrunches down and launches up with a burst of blue fire coming from its base. Cardin watches as the locker slowly soars across the sky. After seeing his cliches, Rex ran outside and followed the locker Jaune was in.

Jaune: (still heard from within the locker) Ahhh, coooome oooooooon...!

The others are totally focused on him now.

Jaune: (attempts to laugh it off) I didn't land far from the school!

Rex: Dude, I literally had to get out of the forest!

Pyrrha: Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.

Nora: Ooooh! (gets up from the table and presents her diabolical plan with a not-entirely-sane grin) We'll break his legs!

Briana: (Volunteer) I'll hold him down!

Jaune: Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone.

They all look over as the laughing grows louder, mixed in with cries of pain from the rabbit girl when one of her ears are tugged on by Cardin.

Bunny girl: Ow! That hurts! (stops struggling and grimaces as she says:) Please, stop...

Cardin: (continues laughing as he turns to his cronies) I told you it was real!

Russel: (still guffawing with his teammates) What a freak!

Rin: This guy makes me so mad, I just wanna punch him in the face.

Luke: (Grunts) This guy really chaps my hide.

Pyrrha: Atrocious. I can't stand people like him.

Blake: (staring daggers) He's not the only one...

Yang: (sadly, leaning her head on her hand) It must be hard to be a Faunus.

Ruby: Yeah, right, Rex? Rex?

He was completely missing where he was sitting next to Ruby.

Briana: Uh, Rubes? (Points over there) He's over there.

Ruby: Oh, no.

Luke: What's he doing? He's a dead man!

Cardin was still pulling that rabbit girl's ear and Rex stood next to him.

Rex: Hey!

Cardin: Well, look who it is. The little hero who wants to meet his damsel in distress.

CRDL laughs at him

Rex: Laugh all you want, Winchester, but you better let go of her right now.

Cardin: And what if I don't?

Rex: Prepare to face your punishment.

Cardin: (Sarcastically) Ooh, I'm so scared. You can't win, kid.

Rex: Funny, but I can do this!

Rex splashes a cup of water at Cardin's face making him let go of the Rabbit girl's ear and makes him stand up.

Cardin: Ugh! That's it, kid! You're dead!

He grabbed Rex's jacket and made him get ready to punch him, but little did he know.

Rex kicked him in his nuts and made Cardin squeal like a boarbatusk.

Everyone in the cafeteria:

Rex: Who's next?

Russel, Dove, and Sky covered up their manhoods and shook their heads.

Glynda: Mr. Venti! Team CRDL!

Rex: Oh, no...

Glynda: Explain yourselves why you are all fighting?!

Cardin: (Groans and gets back up) He just came in and jumped on us.

Rex: No, that's not true. You see, Ms. Goodwitch, Team CRDL here were messing around with this cute rabbit faunus by pulling her ear.

Glynda: (to the Rabbit faunus) Is this true?

Rabbit girl: It is. I was just minding my own business, but then suddenly, they were picking on me.

Glynda: Very well, I appreciate your understanding, Mr. Venti, but as for you, Mr. Winchester, you and your team are getting 3 hours detention.

Cardin: (To Rex) I'm gonna get you back for this, boy.

Rex: Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Cardin and his team left the cafeteria. Rex felt a tap on his shoulder.

Rabbit girl: Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for standing up to me.

Rex: It was no problem, really. Oh, I never got your name.

Velvet: It's Velvet.

Rex: I'm Rex. Do your ears hurt?

Velvet: Only a little bit.

Rex touched her rabbit ears so suddenly, it made Velvet blush.

Rex: I'm just glad that you're okay, Velvet. I need to get back on my team. See ya, Velv!

Velvet: (blushes a little) See you later, Rex.

Briana: That was... the greatest fight I've ever seen!

Luke: Dude, you took that meathead Cardin so hard! That was crazy!

Yang: Let's not forget that he kicked him in his middle! That cracked me up!

Weiss: Rex, that was a little reckless thing you did, but I do appreciate your actions.

Rex: Hey, it was the least I could do.

Blake: So, Rex, why did you help?

Rex: Huh?

Blake: Why did you help that girl?

Rex: I don't know, I just... I really love faunuses. So what if they are good or bad.

Rin: Well, somebody got a little crush.

Rex: Sis! Again!?

Rin: I mean, you did help Velvet.

Rex: I only help people when they're needed.

Having gotten up from the table, Jaune looks back at his friends and sighs to himself before moving on with his tray table.
