Following Traditions of the Ones Before Us

Writing a Letter Home

Dusty's P.O.V.

The day seemed to fly by. Even our assignments. Since we had time to kill, I decided to write a letter to mom. Thought might as well tell her what's happened so far since we started at Beacon. I took out a piece of paper and a pencil. I sat down at one of the desks and started writing.

Dear Mom,

You were right. I am enjoying it here. There are still some of your professors here. Goodwitch, Oobleck, Port... I've been placed with a good team. Team DLTA. With the "D" being first, you might assume who the leader is. Yeah, I was chosen to be the leader. It's almost a replay of when you, mom, Aunt Ruby, and Aunt Weiss were here and placed into a team.

I'm doing well in my classes, even though today was only the second day. Goodwitch mistaken me for you. It was kind of funny if you ask me, but I cleared that up. She asked about you and mom. It wasn't easy to say that mom died. She gave me her condolences. She's a lot nicer now. She actually gave me a smile. I have her combat class second every day. I love it. I'm improving on my fighting skills.

Trevor and I became partners on the day of initiation. I made sure that I was with one of them or cousins. We have amazing teammates. There's Luna Lang and Aulisor Sho. They seem tough and intimidating at first, based on their appearance, but they're really nice. I kicked Aulisor's butt in combat class the first day when Goodwitch was evaluating us. Everyone was surprised, including Goodwitch. He's like a foot taller than me. A fourteen year old girl beats a seventeen year old guy. It was kind of funny but it was still a blast to see what my teammate could do on the battlefield.
