"The world is full of monsters with friendly faces and angels with full scars."

Y/N P.O.V.

Weiss is patiently waiting out the minute left on her holographic clock displayed from her desk in the classroom of Professor Port, whose dialogue is merely nonsense, as Jaune slides up next to Weiss.

"So, Weiss, y'know, uh, I-I was thinking after this, maybe we could go grab a bite to eat? And, uh um, I-I've got two tickets to that new Spruce Willis movie, if you wanna make the trip to Vale. I hear it's awesome. Aaaand maybe after that, we could study together? I mean, you're smart and I'm, uh... y'know."

Finally, the clock in front of Weiss gives a shrill beep as it changes from 3:59 to 4:00, and she dismisses it with a wave of her hand. The professor is temporarily unaware of the alarm.

"And then I- Oh. Timed that one wrong, I guess. Well, the stunning conclusion to this story will have to wait. Until next time!"

Jaune watches Weiss leave as she picks up her Scroll.

"Weiss? Did you hear me?"

Weiss doesn't even pay mind to Jaune as she walks away.

"No, no, no, yes."

Upon hearing this, Jaune groans and does a faceplant into his desk.

As the rest of Team RWBY and I walk out of class behind him, Yang ruffles Jaune's hair without even looking.

"One day."

============================================================

Ruby's hands strap the red laces of her shoes. Weiss's hand gripping the handle of Myrtenaster strapped to her side. Yang's Celica over her left forearm as she slides the chamber. Blake is tightening the black ribbons around her arms. I put on my hat and place Starlight and its quiver on my back and Rising Tides on my hip. Neo places her parasol over her shoulder.

Blake approaches her bunk as she tightens her wrap.

"I thought that class would never end."

Ruby speaks from her hanging bed, "Alright, guys, today's the day! The investigation begins!"

She happily leaps off her mattress and onto the floor, arms raised excitedly. She almost lands on Weiss, who is on the bottom bunk.

"I'm glad to see we're taking this so seriously." Yang gestures to Weiss.

"Hey, we've got a plan! That's... moderately serious." Ruby nods.

"Right! Everyone remember their roles?" Weiss nods and steps to Ruby's side.

"You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem." Blake looks to the rest of us.

"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning. Y/N, can you come with me?"

I nod and smile.

"Of course." Yang smiles.

"I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale. Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard. Neo, would you like to come with just in case you know him?"

Neo nods and Ruby jumps up.

"Great! We'll meet up tonight near Yang and Neo to go over what we found. Let's do this!"

We hear a "Yeah!" and we go to the window as Sun as hangs upside-down by his tail in our open window. All of us are taken aback as Blake is surprised and alarmed.
