Chapter 3: Locker Room
<Y/n POV>
I wake up but no one else is up yet...guess its best to get an early start. Looking up to see violet cuddle up to me along with our pets who were sound asleep.
She was so cute when she was cuddling up to me. I remember all the times back on our home in the forest that we made when we were younger. She would always cuddle up with me whenever it was a stormy night.
I couldn't help but slowly rub her head while she snuggled into my chest and our pets cuddled up with us. After a few moments I started noticing people were slowly trying to get up.
Y/n: "Vi, wake up."
I shake her a bit.
Violet smacks my hand away and buries her face into my chest.
Really? Cmon now.
Y/n: "You gotta get up."
She slowly opens her eyes and leans up and rubs her eyes.
Violet: "I had the weirdest dream... i was fighting my father with 4 other people... a short purple haired girl, a tall black and red haired guy, a tall red and grey haired female and a girl who looked like me just...dark."
I kept my quiet and listen as she explains the dream to me and it was starting to get weird.
Violet: "The city was destroyed and we were fighting on the side of a building in a red void...i dunno its weird."
She wasn't wrong that does sound like a weird dream but sounds more like a nightmares. That to me is what it sounds like.
Y/n: "It's just a dream, anyway get up and get dressed, the initiation is today."
Violet: "Ugh of course it is..."
Y/n: "Don't worry I'm sure you'll do fine."
Violet: Right...
I gently rub her head.
Y/n: "It'll be okay ViVi."
After a few minutes everyone in the ballroom started to wake up and get ready for the day. Our pets also began to wake up and as they began to stretch out their limbs. I had to admit it was kind of cute seeing them stretched out their little limbs.
Y/n: "Come on Vi, let's go get ready for today."
We both stood up from scratch before heading to the locker room to change into our uniforms.
Third Person POV
The opening ends to a character's eyes wearily opening and closing before waking up fully and seeing Nora Valkyrie fill their view.
Nora: "Wake up, lazy butt!"
The girl dashes to the side to 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!
She kept moving in different positions while saying 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. While Ren is cutting up his pancakes without talking.
The girl muffled through her food while still talking.
Nora: "Right! What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together!"
She then slurps up the rest of her pancake like it was nothing.
Nora: "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. She kept talking and it caused him to drop his weapons.
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
Ren: "Come on Nora, let's go."
Nora: "Not together-together... (giggles)"
Ren heads out while a skipping Nora follows, passing by Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long as they are busy readying themselves.
They also passed by the two snow dual as they were preparing themselves and their weapons.
Y/n and Violet didn't say anything as they walked away.
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.
She strokes Crescent Rose as she sighs happily. Violet was secretly watching Ruby from behind the lockers without anyone noticing her.
Yang: "Well, 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."
Ruby: (sighs in frustration) "You sound like Dad!"
She then shoves her weapon into the locker and turns back to her sister acting all tough.
Ruby: "Okay, first of all: What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!"
Yang: "But what about when we form teams?"
Ruby: (suddenly nervous) Um, I don't know, I... I'll just be on your team or something..."
Yang brings her hair around her shoulder and stroking it.
Yang: "Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?"
Ruby: "My dear sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?"
Yang: "What? No! Of course I do! I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help you... break out of your shell!"
Ruby: "What the-?! I don't need to 'break out of my shell'! That's absolutely-"
Jaune: "Ridiculous!"
Jaune suddenly walks in between the sisters, holding a map and looking like a lost puppy. The girls and the snow duel watch as he walks away trying to find his locker. Violet couldn't help but giggle a little bit as she thought it was funny. Y/n didn't even laugh and just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed his gear.
Jaune: "There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?"
Jaune passes Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos as they prepare themselves at their lockers.
Weiss: "So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!"
Pyrrha: "Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may."
Weiss: "Well... I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together."
Pyrrha: "Well, that sounds grand!"
Weiss: "Great!"
The background disappears into a thundercloud as Weiss adopts a scheming pose and manic smile in her head.
Weiss: "This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!"
Unknown to them, Y/n was listening to them not far away, and he was trying so hard to hold in his laughter.
Y/n: "I wonder how long that will last? Especially with a girl like her who's always a dick to everyone around her."
As Y/n continue listening, Jaune comes in between them and interrupting Weiss' evil train of thought.
Jaune: "You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you."
The princess turns around and saw this boy from yesterday.
Weiss: (irritated) "You again?"
Pyrrha: (hurriedly letting herself be seen) Nice to meet you, Jaune!
Jaune: Yeah, yeah. (pushes Pyrrha aside and talks to Weiss, posing slightly) So, Weiss, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day.
Weiss: Oh, you've got to be kidding me!
Jaune: Don't worry! No need to be embarrassed! So, been hearing rumors about teams! I was thinking you and me would make a good one! What do you say?
Pyrrha: (getting Jaune's attention) Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each, so-"
Jaune: You don't say. (advances on his new target) Well, hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team.
Weiss: (separating the two) "Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"
Jaune: "Not in the slightest, snow angel."
Weiss: "This is Pyrrha."
Pyrrha: "Hello again!"
Weiss: "Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum!"
Jaune: "Never heard of it."
Weiss: (scoffs) "She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!"
Jaune: "The what?"
She then got very annoyed and began waving her arms rapidly in anger.
Weiss: "She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!"
Jaune: (gasping suddenly) That's you?!
As the design of the cereal box in question is seen with Pyrrha's smiling face on it.
Jaune: "But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!"
The young redhead blushes before looking away.
Pyrrha: "Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you."
Y/n&Violet: "She's not wrong."
Weiss: (appearing as the box design crumbles behind them) So, after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?
Jaune: "I guess not... Sorry..."
Slowly hanging his head in shame but what Pyrrha said next was very shocking.
Pyrrha: "Actually, Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader!"
Jaune: (immediately brightening back up) "D'oh, stop it!"
Weiss: "Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!"
Y/n's Mind: "Bitch Please!"
Jaune: "Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for Team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?"
Y/n&Violet: "Don't do it!"
Weiss: "All right, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help, please?!"
Jaune looks back just in time to see Miló strike him, sending the would-be leader flying off the screen.
Pyrrha: "I'm sorry!"
An announcement plays on the intercom system. In which just got everyone's attention in the locker room.
Glynda: "Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."
Weiss passes Jaune as he hangs from the wall of a locker on her way out. Pyrrha follows her, grabbing her spear and dropping Jaune to the ground.
Pyrrha: "It was nice meeting you!"
The man slumping against the locker as she walked away.
Jaune: "Likewise..."
There's no twins saw what happened and Y/n just shook his head with disappointment as he watches the two girls leave.
Violet: "That just happened."
Y/n: "Yep..."
The two snow dual walks up to Jaune as he lays on the floor. Ruby and yang approached next to them.
Yang: "Having some trouble there, lady-killer?"
Jaune: "I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?"
He accepts Ruby's offered hand and uses her to lift himself back up.
Yang: "Snow Angel" probably wasn't the best start.
Y/n: "And she's too much of a bitch to even date."
Violet: "Yea."
Ruby: "Come on, Jaune, let's go."
Y/n: "And word of advice mate. Don't try to start with someone like her."
Y/n and Violet walk out of the locker room with Yang following them. Then Ruby leads Jaune out of the locker room by supporting him and his damaged self-esteem."
The scene opens to the Beacon Cliff, overlooking a forest, where several students some old, some new, and some unseen are standing on silver tiles in front of a mug-holding Professor Ozpin and Glynda with her tablet.
Ozpin: "For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
Glynda: "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams.' Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given." teammates... today.
Ruby: "What? Ohhh..."
Ozpin: "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well."
Ruby: (groaning)
Ozpin: "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
The shocked expression mirrors her world cracking like glass and falling apart.
Ruby: "Whaaaat?!"
Y/n: "I had a feeling but I'm still going to be on the same team with my sister."
Nora: (to Ren) See? I told you-!"
Ozpin: "After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die."
Jaune laughs nervously and then gulps loudly.
Ozpin: "You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"
Jaune: (raising his hand) Yeah, um, sir?"
Ozpin: "Good! Now, take your positions."
Y/n: "This is going to be interesting."
Both Y/n and Violet walk up to their tile and got into a stance.
Everyone strikes a pose on their tile. Nora crouches low, Ren wields his weapons, Yang raises her fists, Ruby readies her body, and Jaune is still raising his hand.
Jaune: "Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question. (he misses the tile under Weiss rising up into a springboard, rocketing into the air and over the forest, as the platforms activate down the line) So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?
Ozpin: "No. You will be falling."
Jaune: (missing more students being thrown) Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?
Ozpin: "No. You will be using your own landing strategy."
He is still not seeing an excited Nora and Ren getting launched.
Jaune: "Uh-huh... Yeah."
Y/n gets launched in the air and glides through the sky. His sister violet was sent flying next and she began to fly through the sky.
At her turn, Yang winks at her younger sister, puts on a pair of aviators, and flies off with a "Woo-hoooooooo!" a second before Ruby joins her.
Jaune: "So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!..."
He asks this part just when he finally has to get hurled with the cloud of students now making their way down into the forest below under the eyes of the teachers. Ozpin, for his part, simply takes a sip of his coffee.
The to watch as the students get thrown off into the air and into the emerald forest.
Glynda: "Are you sure it was a good idea to have those snow killers here?"
Ozpin: "Don't worry they're not as bad as you think."
The professor drinks his coffee as he watches the students.
