"Wake up, lazy butts!" Nora yells and dashes to the side

Lie Ren gets up with a groan and he notices Rayelle was sleeping on his chest and he blushes, "Five more minutes." Rayelle said

Nora hounds them."It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!"

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

"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 and Rayelle are the perfect students and I'm... well, I'm me! But it's just crazy, you know?" Nora yelled

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

"The three of us have 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 and Ellie's not pretty, but you both are cute, 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 the three of us end up on the same team together!" She 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, Rayelle loading her weapon, and Nora is still talking.

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

"Nora?" Ren said

"Yes, Ren?" Nora asked

Ren sheaths 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 the three of us are working together!"

Rayelle smiles and shuts her locker, "Come on Nora, let's go."

"Not "together-together..." Nora giggles

Ren and Rayelle out while a skipping Nora follows, passing Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long as they are busy readying themselves.

"Wonder what those three are so worked up about?" Ruby asked

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

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

"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." Yang said

Ruby sighs in frustration, "You sound like Dad!" She shoves her weapon into the locker, "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!"

"But what about when we form teams?" Yang asked

Ruby suddenly becomes 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, "Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?"

"My dear sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?" Ruby asked
