The scene opened to a shot of Beacon Academy's courtyard at dusk, with Weiss and Ruby running up the main avenue towards the docking bays.

Ruby: *runs to catch up with Weiss* Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?

Weiss: *stops and smiles at the sight of..* Winter.

The camera then cuts behind Ruby and Weiss watching Winter Schnee, escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's as she exited her airship.

Ruby: Wait... Your sister?

Weiss: *cups mouth* Winter! 

The two then ran up to the elder Schnee as she turned to see them.

Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... *suddenly curtsies* Your presence honors us.

Winter: *looks around as she approaches them* Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.

Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.

Weiss punched Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her older sister.

Weiss: So, what are you doing here?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Of course. *nods and smiles in understanding*

Ruby: *looks pensively around in the silence* Well... this is nice... I think.

Weiss: *excited* You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! *discreetly whispers* Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-

Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.

Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!

Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter.

Weiss: *puzzled* But, we won!

Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed. *turns to her security* Leave us. 

The AK-200s obeyed, walking two steps backwards into formation as she sighed and smiled a little more warmly at Weiss.

Winter: How have you been?

Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm-

The camera cuts to Winter's hand as she slapped Weiss, leaving a massive bump on her head.

Winter: Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?

Weiss: Well, there's Ruby.

Ruby: *giggles as she pushes the lump back into Weiss' head* Heh, boob.

Winter: I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.

Ruby: Uh... Thank you!

Winter: Greetings, Ruby Rose. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister.

Ruby: Oh! Uh, yes, of course! *attempts to salute and curtsy* The honor is in my... court! 

She nearly lost her balance with this gesture, waving her arms until she could get back up.
