The opening ends to a view of Professor Ozpin watching the students on his Scroll at the Beacon Cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest when Glynda Goodwitch walks up behind him, holding her own tablet.

Glynda: The last pair has been formed, sir. (taps the screen to show the ending scene of "The Emerald Forest") Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy... I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos. (the video changes to Pyrrha and Jaune Arc's trek through the woods)

"Those two pairs seem like they'd be decent enough," Applejack said, thinking good friends make good partners, at least most of the time.

"Jaune doesn't seem that bad," Spike admitted, seeing that the blonde was pretty cool.

"Just a bit of work, and he could be good," Rainbow muttered, seeing that he needed to learn the proper use of his weapon.

Ozpin: Mmmm...

Glynda: I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. (deactivates the tablet, walking back a little) I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes. (turning back to Ozpin) "Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?" (silence) "Professor Ozpin?"

Ozpin doesn't answer, watching his tablet with contemplating interest as it shows the footage of Ruby Rose sitting in the grass and picking stray leaves while her "partner" Weiss Schnee walks in random directions.

"Something's not right," Twilight muttered, thinking about the blonde's words. She felt that Gylnda's observation on Jaune's transcripts was something she should remember for later.

Weiss: (walking right) It's definitely this way. (stops and starts walking left) I mean... this way! It's definitely this way. (stops in front of Ruby) Alright, it's official: We passed it.

"They're lost," Pinkie pointed out helpfully.

"You'd think they would do something other than staying in one spot," Spike wondered while scratching his head.

"Not an idea I would advise with all those Grimm around. They could tire themselves out and get lost in the process," Celestia explained wisely. Everyone thought over her words and agreed that it was a possibly good idea.

Ruby: (stands up, slightly annoyed) Weiss, why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we're going?

Weiss: Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going... to... the forest temple!

"Mind sharing where that is?" Rainbow inquired sarcastically, getting a few eye rolls from her friends.

Ruby: (sighs, frustrated)

Weiss: Oh, stop it! You don't know where we are, either!

Ruby: Well, at least I'm not pretending like I know everything.

"Complaining isn't helping either," Applejack groaned, having dealt with that with her little sister.

"She's most likely restless, with her dreams being within reach," Luna commented.

Weiss: What is that supposed to mean?

Ruby: It means you're a big, stupid jerk and I hate you!

Weiss: (sighs to herself, spinning around and walking in another direction) Just keep moving!

Ruby: (in a faux imitation of Weiss' voice) Oh, just keep moving! Hurry up! Waaaah! Watch where you're going! (in her normal voice) Why are you so bossy?
