The opening ends to the window overlooking Beacon Academy from the new room of Team RWBY, panning over to Weiss Schnee sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning, while Ruby Rose, dressed in her strangely colored school uniform, creeps up on her side and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed. In a neighboring room, Team RD had heard them as well, with Donald falling out of his bed and Rody poking his head out of the bathroom, toothbrush in mouth.

Rody: (taking tooth brush out of his mouth) What's that about?

Donald: Don't know, but I'm up now.

He then goes over to their closet and gets out the uniforms that are required by the students to wear. Donnie didn't mind it, but Rody was irritated that he had to wear a tie, or as he calls them "The Chokers of Fashion", but at the very least he didn't have to wear shoes and he designed a shawl that matched the uniform, so Donnie was grateful he didn't have to show his face. After getting cleaned up and cleaning their room a little, they set off to their first class, still hearing commotions from team RWBY's room.

Donald: They know that first classes start at 9 right?

Rody: I'm sure they didn't forget, they'll be fiiinne!

Team RWBY's Room

Ruby: Good morning, team RWBY!

Weiss: (from the floor) What in the world is wrong with you?

Ruby: (ignoring the question) Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business.

Weiss: (getting up and brushing herself off) Excuse me?

Yang Xiao Long: (holding a collection of objects - pillows, pamphlets, a candle-holder - in her arms, also dressed alongside Blake Belladonna) Decorating!

Weiss: What?!

Blake: (lifting her suitcase) We still have to unpack. (the suitcase opens, spilling its contents) Aaaand clean.

Weiss does not look enthusiastic, especially when Ruby knocks her back again with the blow of her whistle.

Ruby: Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission! (raises her fist into the air) Banzai!

Ruby with Blake and Yang: (doing the same at her sides) Banzai! (they turn at an angle as Weiss lays on the floor and upbeat montage music starts playing)

Yang places a poster of six guys in various poses named "THE ACHIEVE MEN" on her part of the room. Weiss positions the painting of the Forever Fall forest to perfection and walks away. Blake is busy putting away her books on the shelves, picking up a copy of Ninjas of Love and widening her eyes as she warily looks around before putting it back. Ruby positions Crescent Rose at an exact angle against the curtains so she can perfectly slash a diagonal portion off. A quick zoom around the room (and the repaired curtains) ends with the girls admiring their handiwork... with one problem. The beds are cramped together in the center of the floor.

Weiss: This isn't going to work.

Blake: It is a bit cramped.

Yang: Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff...

Ruby: Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!

Weiss: Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous.

Yang: And super-awesome!

Blake: It does seem efficient.

Weiss: Well, we should put it to a vote!
