Skyler had expected a lot of things on the day he went to Beacon. He did not expect Ruby Rose coming with him and Yang.

"I can't believe my baby sister's going to Beacon with me!" Yang exclaimed, hugging her sister, "This is the best day ever!!"

"Of all time," Skyler finished with a smirk.

"Please stop..." Ruby groaned.

Yang let go and grinned, "But I'm so proud of you!!"

"Really, sis," Ruby said, "It was nothing."

"I wouldn't call skipping two years 'nothing'," Skyler muttered.

"He's right!" Yang exclaimed, "Everyone at school's gonna think you're the bee's knees!"

"'Bee's knees'?" Skyler said, confused, "Who says that?"

"I don't want to be the 'bee's knees', okay?" Ruby exclaimed, "I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."

"What's with you?" Yang asked, "Aren't you excited?"

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

Yang went over and gave her sister a one-armed hug, "But you are special."

The conversation was interrupted by a news cast, "The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa."

"Thank you Cyril," the reporter, Lisa Lavender, said when the screen changed, "In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-"

The news cut off and was replaced by a hologram of the huntress Skyler saw haul Ruby away, "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"

"Who's that?" Yang asked.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh."

"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy!" Glynda continued, "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."

Her hologram disappeared and everyone looked out the window.

"Oh wow!" Ruby squealed, "You can see Signal from up here! I guess home isn't too far after all."

"Beacon's our home now," Yang said.

Skyler smiled, but the three then turned to see and armored male with blonde hair, holding his hands to his mouth with a sick look on his face. The male turned and ran past them, trying not to puke.

"Well..." Yang smiled awkwardly, "I guess the view isn't for everyone."

"Yeah..." Skyler agreed.

"I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy," Ruby said, before looking down and freaking out, "Oh, gross!! Yang, you have puke on your shoes!!"

Then Yang began freaking out, "Grossgrossgrossgrossgross!!!"

"Get away from me! Get away from me!!"

Once they landed, the blonde boy ran to the nearest trash can and puked his lunch out. Feeling a bit sorry for him, Skyler walked over and patted him on the back.

"Thanks..." the boy groaned.

When Skyler rejoined the girls, he saw Ruby fangirling over everyone's weapons.

"Easy there, little sister," Yang said, "They're just weapons."

"Just weapons?!" Ruby exclaimed, "They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!"

"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"

Ruby transformed her weapon into its scythe form, "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."

"Wow," Skyler said, "You really need to make some new friends."

Yang playfully pushed Ruby's hood over her head, "He's right! You need to make new friends of your own."

"But... why would I need friends if I have you and Skyler?"

"Actually..." Yang grabbed Skyler's arm and took off with a random group of people, "myfriendsarehere. Gottagocatchup. 'Kay, seeya, bye! ComeonSkyler!"

"Wait, what?!" Skyler said before being dragged off, "Yang!!"

"Why did you just get me to run off with you and a random group of strangers and leave your sister to fend for herself?" Skyler asked once Yang stopped.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the distance and Skyler pointed it out, "See?! That could be her!"

"Oh calm down," Yang replied, waving her hand dismissively, "She's fine. She doesn't need my help right now. What could go wrong?"

"Wow..." Skyler face-palmed, "I would call you mean, but then I remembered that one time at that club and that outclasses 'mean'."

"What did I do?"

"Seriously?! You destroyed the entire club!"

"Are you sure that was me? I think I would remember doing something like that."

"You fired your shotgun shell rounds into the bouncer's stomach!!"

"Wow! That sounds dangerous."

"You snapped the female bartender's neck!! You're lucky she survived and we weren't arrested!!"

(A/N: I hope you get the reference!)

"I saw her giving you the 'I want your body' look."

"How do you know what that look looks like? And what does that have to do with anything?"

"............Nothing!!!"

Skyler sighed, "Whatever... Let's just go to wherever we're supposed to go."

As he turned his back, Yang let out a silent sigh of relief. Secret crush on Skyler still intact!
_______________________________
They made their way to the auditorium, where they decided to stay in a spot and wait for Ruby. Then Skyler spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

"Hey Yang," he said, "I'm gonna go over there for a second, okay?"

"Umm, okay?" Yang said, a little confused as Skyler walked off.

Skyler walked over to a guy, who had his back turned, with white hair, brown eyes, red jacket, gray shirt, and black pants.

(A/N: I WONDER WHERE THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS CHARACTER CAME FROM???*sarcasm*)

Skyler grinned and whispered in his ear, "Boo."

The guy jumped in surprise and turned to Skyler. His surprised look turned into a smile.

"Skyler! Hey, man!" he said, "How's it going?"

"I'm been doing fine, Dante," Skyler answered, "Just walked in with Yang. No idea where Ruby went though."

"Wait, Ruby?" Dante asked, "What's she doing here?"

"She said Ozpin let her in early," Skyler shrugged, "No idea why."

"Oh, okay."

As they talked, another person caught Skyler's eye. It was a black haired girl with amber eyes and was wearing a bow. She was leaning against the nearby wall, reading a book. Skyler didn't realize he was staring until Dante snapped his finger in his face.

"Hello?" Dante said, "Remnant to Skyler? You in there?"

Skyler shook his head, "Huh? Oh, uh, yeah."

Dante looked in the direction Skyler was staring, spotted the girl, and smirked at Skyler, "What, five minutes and you already have a crush?"

"What?! No! I don't even know her!"

"That's what they all say," Dante laughed as Skyler glared at him, "Dude, I'm only joking."

Suddenly, there was a tap on a microphone and everyone turned to the stage. There was Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon, at the microphone and Glynda Goodwitch nearby.

"I'll... keep this brief," Ozpin spoke, "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction."

Dante raised an eyebrow, "I wanna say that's a little harsh, but he's not done yet."

"True," Skyler replied, "This is Ozpin we're talking about."

Ozpin continued, "You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

"There it is," Dante said.

Ozpin walked off and Glynda walked up, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."

As students began to move, Skyler turned to see the black haired girl, but she was already gone. Dante caught his disappointed look and smirked.

"What, your crush gone?"

"Dude, shut up."
_______________________________
As Skyler and Dante set up their sleeping bags, Skyler saw Ruby and Yang, the former writing a letter, and the latter looking hungrily at all the shirtless boys. Skyler just rolled his eyes. Nothing ever changes.

See, Skyler actually used to have a crush on Yang, but he had quickly given up. While Yang would flirt, she did the same to pretty much every guy. Really, Skyler considered himself lucky with just the fact that he befriended her.

Then Skyler saw her. Still reading the same book while sitting in a chair in the corner. Her amber eyes were focused intensely on the book... until Yang dragged Ruby over.

'And of course,' Skyler thought with a smile, 'Yang has to get Ruby a new friend. But why her?'

Oh well. At least if Ruby befriends her, Skyler will get a chance to talk to her. Oh man, he was staring again. He and Dante were out as soon as the girl blew out the last candle.
