- Ruby!

Over here!

I saved you a spot!

- Hey I gotta go!

I'll see you after the ceremony!

- Hey, wait!

Great.

Where am I supposed to
find another nice,

quirky girl to talk to?

- How's your first day
going, little sister?

- You mean since you ditched
me and I exploded!?

- Yikes.
Meltdown already?

- No, I literally exploded a
hole in front of the school...

There was a fire...

and I think some ice.

- Are you being sarcastic?

- Ugh, I wish!

I tripped over some
crabby girl's luggage!

And then she yelled at me!
And then I sneezed.

And then I exploded!
And then she yelled again!

And I felt really, really bad!

And I just wanted her
to stop yelling me!

- You!

- Oh god, it's happening again!

- You're lucky we weren't blown
off the side of the cliff!

- Oh my god, you
really exploded.

- It was an accident!

It was an accident!

What's this?

- The Schnee Dust Company is not
responsible for any injuries

or damages sustained
while operating

a Schnee Dust Company product.

Although not mandatory, the
Schnee Family highly encourages

their customers to read and
familiarize themselves with this

easy-to-follow guide to Dust
application and practice

in the field.

- Uhhh...

- You really want to start
making things up to me?

- Absolutely!

- Read this and don't
ever speak to me again.

- Look, it sounds like you two
got off on the wrong foot!

Why don't you just start over
and try to be friends, okay?

- Yeah! Great idea, Sis!

Hello, Weiss!
I'm Ruby!

Want to hang out?

We can go shopping
for school supplies!

- Yeah, and we can paint our
nails, and try on clothes,

and talk about cute boys,
like tall, blonde,

and scraggly over there!

- Oh wow, really?

- NO.

- Ahem... I'll keep this brief.

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.

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.

- You will gather in
the ballroom tonight.

Tomorrow your initiation begins.

Be ready.

You are dismissed!

- He seemed kind of off,
almost like he wasn't there.

- I'm a natural blond, you know!

- It's like a big slumber party!

- I don't think dad would
approve of all the boys though.

- I know I do.

What's that?

- A letter to the
g*ng back at Signal.

I promised to tell them
all about Beacon

and how things are going.

- Aww, that's so cuuuuute!

- Shut up!

I didn't get to take my
friends with me to school.

It's weird not
knowing anyone here.

- What about Jaune?

He's nice!

There you go!
Plus one friend!

That's a percent increase!

- I'm pretty sure Weiss
counts as a negative friend.

Back to zero.

- There's no such thing
as negative friends!

You just made one
friend and one enemy!

Look, it's only been one day.

Trust me, you've got
friends all around you.

You just haven't met them yet.

- That girl...

- You know her?

- Not really.

She saw what happened this
morning, but left before

I could say anything.

- Well, now's your chance!

- Hey, wait!

What are you doing?

- Helloooo!

I believe you two
may know each other!

- Aren't you the girl
that exploded.

- Uhh, yeah!
The name's Ruby.

But, you can call me...

actually you can
just call me Ruby.

- Okay.

- What are you doing?

- I don't know, help me.

- So... what's your name?

- Blake.

- Well, Blake, I'm Yang!

Ruby's older sister!

...I like your bow!

- Thanks.

- It goes great with your...

pajamas.

- Right.

- Nice night, don't you think?

- Yes.

It's lovely.

Almost as lovely as this book...

that I will continue to read...

as soon as you leave.

- Yeah, this girl's
a lost cause.

- What's it about?

- Huh?

- Your book.
Does it have a name?

- It's about a man with two
souls, each fighting

for control of his body.

- Oh, yeah...
that's real lovely...

- I love books.

Yang used to read to me
every night before bed.

Stories of heroes
and monsters...

they're one of the reasons
I want to be a Huntress.

- Why is that?

Hoping you'll live
happily ever after?

- I'm hoping we all will.

As a girl, I wanted to be just
like the heroes in the books.

Someone who fought for what was
right, and protected the people

who couldn't protect themselves.

- That's very
ambitious for a child.

Unfortunately, the real world
isn't the same as a fairy tale.

- Well that's why we're here...

to make it better.

- Ohhh, I'm so proud
of my baby sister!

- Cut it out!

- Well, Ruby, Yang...
it's a pleasure to-

- What in the world is
going on over here!?

Don't you realize some of
us are trying to sleep!?

- (both) Oh, not you again!

- Shh! Guys, she's right!
People are trying to sleep!

- Oh, now you're on my side.

- I was always on your side!

- Yeah, what's your problem
with my sister?

She's only trying to be nice!

- She's a hazard to my health!
