Welcome To Beacon
(Y/n)'s POV
When we get off the giant ship, the guy who vomited from earlier ran ahead of everyone and puked in the trash can right away.
"Well, hearing that was pleasant." I say
"Wooooaaahhh." Ruby and Yang say in sync with each other, at the sight of Beacon Academy.
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this." Yang says
"Oh sis, (Y/n)! That kids got a collapsible staff!" Ruby tells us, suddenly floating like a fairy, with stars in her eyes, then she hangs off of Yang's arm. "And she's got a fire sword!" She tries to float off after the fire sword, but Yang pulls her back by the hood.
"Easy there little sister, they're just weapons." Yang tell Ruby
"Just weapons?!" Ruby yells
"And here it comes..." I say
"They're an extension of ourselves, a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!" Ruby informs us
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asks
"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose, I just, really like seeing new ones!" Ruby tells us, taking out her scythe. "It's like meeting new people, but better."
"Ruby, come on." Yang says, pulling Ruby's hood up. "Why can't you go make friends of your own?"
"Well, why would I need to make friends, when I have you and (Y/n)?" Ruby asks
"Well...actually my friends are here now! (Y/n), watch over her! Gotta go catch up! Kay, see ya bye!" Yang says, running off, spinning Ruby in the process.
"Wait, where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?! Ugh...I don't know what I'm doing..." Ruby finishes, collapsing onto some suitcases.
"What are you doing?!" A girl with gray hair asks.
"Uh, sorry!" Ruby apologizes
"Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?!" The girl asks
"Uhhh..." Ruby picks up a case, to get it snatched right out of her hands.
"Give me that! This is Dust! Mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry!" She yells, taking out a bottle of Dust.
"Uhhh..." Ruby groans again
"What are you?! Brain dead?! Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy!" She starts shaking a bottle of fire dust.
"Oh no..." I say, seeing Ruby about to sneeze.
"Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" She asks
"I say, you better lose the snobby, rich kid act, and get down, before she sneezes!" I say
"What did you just say to me?!" She yells
"I warned you." I tell her, getting down.
"Ahhh-CHOO!" Ruby sneezes, causing an explosion.
The bottle of dust rolls towards another girl with black hair, and a bow, reading a book. The girl bends over and picks it up, looking away from her book for a second.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the thing I was talking about!" The girl yells
"I thought I told you to drop the snobby rich kid act." I say, Ruby tapping her fingers together.
"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby apologizes
"Ugh! You complete dolt! What are you even doing here?! Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?!" She asks
"That's it! I'm done! Say one more mean thing! I dare you!" I yell
"I wasn't talking to you!" The girl yells at me.
"Oh...my...god..." I say, trying my best to not take out my scythe.
"Wel, I-I-" Ruby starts
"This isn't your ordinary combat school! It's not just sparring and practicing you know! We're here to fight monsters you know, so watch where you're going!" The girl yells
"NOPE! What's wrong with you?! She apologized, Princess! Do you get some sick pleasure out of being a jerk to younger kids?! Honestly, what's your excuse for being so mean to a girl two years younger than you?!" I yell
"It's heiress, actually." The girl who picked up the dust tells us, walking over. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
"Finally! Some recognition!" Weiss says, looking back at us.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces, and questionable business partners." The girls says
"Wha- how dare-" Weiss stutters, while Ruby and I are trying to hold back our laughter. "The nerve of y-" She takes the dust back and storms off.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby yells after her
"She does! Not me! So don't expect anything from me!" I yell
"Looks like I'm not the only one having a rough first day..." Ruby says "So, what's y-" When she turns to the other girl, she already started walking away. Then Ruby falls to her knees, and lays on her back.
"Oh, come on Ruby...It's gonna be okay..." I tell her, kneeling down next to her.
"Welcome to Beacon." Ruby says to herself, then someone stands above us.
"Hey." The boy who puked on the ship earlier greeted, holding his hand out to Ruby to help her up. "I'm Jaune."
"Ruby." Ruby introduces herself, grabbing his hand, getting up.
"And you?" He asks me
"(Y/n)." I introduce myself, getting up.
Ruby just laughs a bit. "Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?"
~Time Skip~
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem then people let on!" He explains to us, while the three of us walk near a fountain.
"Look, we're sorry. It's just, Vomit Boy was the first thing we could think of." Ruby says
"Oh yeah?" Jaune asks "What if I call you Crater Face?"
"Look, that explosion was an accident!" Ruby tells him
"What would you call me?" I ask
"U-ummm...I don't know...Hoodie?" Jaune says
"Really? Hoodie?" I ask
"Alright! You and that girl with the black hair were the only ones who didn't do anything!" Jaune says "Anyways, the names Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue. Ladies love it."
"Do they?" Ruby asks
"Th-they will! Well at least I hope they will. My mom always said that-never mind." Jaune says
"Well...I got this thing." Ruby says, pulling out her scythe.
"And I got this." I say, pulling mine out.
"Woah! Are those scythes?" Jaune asks
"It's also a customizable, high-impacted, sniper rifle." Ruby says
"A wha-" Jaune asks
"It's also a gun." Ruby says
"Oh." Jaune says "That's cool!"
"Mine can turn into dual pistols." I say
"So what do you got?" Ruby asks
"Oh, uh...I got this sword." Jaune unsheathes his sword and shows us.
"Ooooo." Ruby acts interested.
"Yea, I've got this shield to!" He pulls out something skinny, and it expands into a shield.
"So what do they do?" Ruby asks, touching his shield, causing it to turn small, then bug, and so forth, as Jaune bobbles it around, until it finally hit the ground.
"Th-the shield gets smaller...so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just...put it away." Jaune explains
"Is that it? Wouldn't it just weigh the same anyways?" I ask
"Yea, it does." Jaune says, looking at the ground.
"Well, heheh, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons." Ruby tells Jaune "I guess I did go a little overboard while designing it."
"Wait...you made that?" Jaune asks
"We both made our weapons." I say
"All students at Signal forge their own weapons." Ruby explains "Did you make yours?"
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune explains
"Sounds like a family heirloom to me." Ruby tells him "Well, I like it. Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days!"
"Yea. The classics" Jaune says
"So, why'd you help us out in the courtyard back there?" Ruby asks
"Eh, why not? Like my mom always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." Jaune says
"That doesn't sound that safe, but you do you." I say
"Hey, where are we going?" Ruby asks
"Oh, I don't know. I was following you." Jaune says "You think there might be a directory, maybe a food court, or some sort of recognizable landmark?" Ruby just laughs "I-is that a no?"
"That's a no." Ruby says
"Follow me." I say, as I lead them the right way.
