(Girl) Wake up lazy bud!

(Boy) *sighs*

(Girl) It's morning. It's morning.
It's morning. It's moooorning!

I can't believe we've been
at Beacon for a full 24 hours!

Not that I thought we'd
get kicked out or anything.

I mean, you're the perfect
student and I'm, well, I'm me.!

But it's just crazy, you know?
We've been friends for soooooo long.

What are the odds that
we'd still be together?

Well, not together" together. Not that
I'm not saying you're not handsome!

You are handsome, but
that'd just be weird... Right?

Right. What was I thinking?

But still, I hope we end up
on a same team together.

*slurps pancake* Ooh! We should
come up with some sort of plan!

To make sure we end up
on the same team together!

What if we bribe the headmaster?
No, that won't work, he has the school.

I know! We'll have some sort
of signal! Like a distress signal!

*gasps A secret signal so we
can find each other in the forest!

Can you imitate a sloth?

(Boy) Nora...
(Nora) Yes, Ren?

(Ren) I don't think sloths
make a lot of noise.

(Nora)... That's why it's perfect! No
one will suspect we're working together.

(Ren)
- Come on, Nora. Let's go.

(Nora)-But not "together"
together. "Giggles

(Ruby) - Wonder what those
two were so worked up about.

(Yang) - Oh, who knows... So! You
seem awfully chipper this morning.

(Ruby) - Yep! No more awkward
small talk or 'getting to know you stuff.

Today I get to let my
sweetheart do the talking.

(Yang)- Well, remember Ruby, you're
not the only one going though initiation.

If you want to grow up, you're going to have
to meet new people and learn to work together."

(Ruby) - Ugh, you
sound like dad!

Okay, first of all what does meeting
people have to do with fighting?

And secondly, I don't need
people to help me grow up.

I drink milk!

(Yang) - But what about
when we form teams?

(Ruby) - Uhm, I don't know, I-I'll
just be on your team or something...

(Yang) - Maybe you should try
being on someone else's team?

(Ruby) - My dearest sister Yang, are you implying
that you do not wish to be on the same team as me!?

(Yang) - W-what!? No! Of
course I do, I just thought...

(Yang)-I don't know, maybe it would
help you break out of your shell!

(Ruby) - What the!? I don't need to
break out of my shell. that's absolutely-

(Jaune)-Ridiculous! There's no way I
put my gear in locker 636 yesterday!?

I would've remembered
having to count that high!

Ugh, why does this
have to happen today!?

(Weiss) So. Pyrrha, have you given any
thought to whose team you would like to be on?

I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such
a strong, well known individual, such as yourself.

(Pyrrha) - Hmm...
I'm not quite sure.

I was planning on letting
the chips fall where they may.

(Weiss) - Well, I was thinking maybe
we could be on a team together.

(Pyrrha) - Well
that sounds grand!

(Weiss)
- Great!

(Weiss) "to herself" This will be perfect! The smartest
girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class.

Together we will be unstoppable!

I can see it now: We'll be popular, we'll
be celebrities, we'll get perfect grades!

Nothing could come
between us now!

(Jaune) - You know what else is
great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you.

(Weiss)
- You again?

(Pyrrha) - Nice to
meet you, Jaune!

(Jaune)- Yeah, yeah. So. Weiss! Couldn't help
but overhear your fondness of me the other day.

(Weiss) - Oh, you've
got to be kidding me.

(Jaune) - Don't worry, no
need to be embarrassed!

So, been hearin' rumors about teams! I was
thinking you and me would make a good one.

What do you say?

(Pyrrha) - Actually, I think the teams
are comprised of 4 students each, so-

(Jaune) - You don't say. Well, hot-stuff, play your cards
right and maybe you could join up with the winning team.

(Weiss) - Jaune, is it? Do you have
any idea who you are talking to?

(Jaune) - Not in the
slightest, Snow Angel.

(Weiss)
- This is Pyrrha.

(Pyrrha)
- Hello again!

(Weiss) - Pyrrha graduated
top of her class at Sanctum.

(Jaune)
- Never heard of it.

(Weiss) - Ah! She's won the Mistral Regional
Tournament 4 years in a row... A new record!

(Jaune)
- The what?

(Weiss) - She's on the front of every
Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!

(Jaune) - *gasp* That's you? They only do
that for star athletes and cartoon characters!

(Pyrrha)- Yeah, it was pretty cool.
Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you.

(Weiss) - So, after hearing all of this, do you really
think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?

(Jaune)
- I guess not... Sorry.

(Pyrrha) - Actually Jaune, I
think you'd make a great leader.

(Jaune)
- D'oh, stop it!

(Weiss) - Seriously, please stop it. This
kind of behavior should not be encouraged!

(Jaune) - Sounds like Pyrrha's on board
for team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick.

Now I'm not supposed to do this,
but, maybe I could pull some strings.

Find a place for you.
What do you say?

(Weiss)- Alright, that's a bit too
close! Pyrrha, a little help please!?

*Pyrrha throws her spear
at Jaune* (Jaune) Ahhh!

(Pyrrha)
- I'm sorry!

(Glynda)- Would all first year students
please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?

Again, all first year students
report to Beacon Cliff immediately.

(Pyrrha) - It was
nice meeting you!

(Jaune)
- *sighs* Likewise.

(Yang) - Havin' some
trouble there, Ladykiller?

(Jaune) - I don't understand... My dad
said all women look for is confidence.

Where did I go wrong!?

(Yang) - "Snow Angel"
probably wasn't the best start.

(Ruby) - Come
on, Jaune. Let's go.

(Ozpin) For years you have
trained to become warriors.

And today, your abilities will be
evaluated in the Emerald Forest.

(Glynda) Now, I'm sure many of you have
heard rumors about the assignment of teams.

Well, allow us to put an
end to your confusion.

Each of you will be
given teammates... Today.

(Ruby) What? Aw.. "scared noise

(Ozpin) These teammates will be with you
for the rest of your time here at Beacon.

So it is in your best interest to be paired
with someone with whom you can work well.

(Ruby) *scared noise

(Ozpin) - That being said, the first person you make eye contact
with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years.

(Ruby)
- What?!?

(Nora) See? I told you!

(Ozpin) After you've partnered up, make
your way to the northern end of the forest.

You will meet
opposition along the way.

Do not hesitate to destroy
everything in your path, or you will die.

(Jaune) *nervous laughter, gulp*

(Ozpin) You will be monitored an
graded for the duration of your initiation.

But our instructors
will not intervene.

(Ozpin) You will find an abandoned temple at
the end of the path containing several relics.

Each pair must choose one,
and return to the top of the cliff.

We will regard that item, as well as
your standing, and grade you appropriately.

Are there any questions?

(Jaune) Yeah, um, sir-

(Ozpin) Good! Now,
take your positions.

(Jaune) Uh, sir? I've got, um,
a question. "Weiss catapults*

(Jaune) Other students catapult" So, this
landing strategy thing, uh, w-what is it?

(Jaune) You're, like,
dropping us off or something?

(Ozpin) No. You will be falling.

*Russel catapults*

(Jaune) *More students catapult Oh, I see.
So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?

(Nora) Woohoo!

(Ozpin) No. You will be using
your own landing strategy.

(Jaune) Uhhuh... Yeah.
"Cardin catapults*

(Jaune) So, um, what exactly
is a landing strateGYYYYY

(Ozpin) *sipping
