Wanna be partners?

Should take you about 7 minutes to read.

Part 1
In the morning all the freshmen gathered on the cliff. After Headmaster Ozpin finished talking, students began getting launched into the Emerald Forest.

It was Kalista’s turn. She pulled out Pyro, her pitchfork. And she was launched into the sky. After her it was Calum, then Pallas, after her was Selena, and finally Reena.

They flew through the sky, above the Forest.

Calum landed first. He looked up to see a flash of purple and orange, it was Kalista. He quickly ran off in the direction she was headed. He thought back to his promise to her before they came to Beacon. ‘Don’t worry Lista, I promise I won’t leave you alone, we’ll be on the same team, I’ll make sure of that’ he said to her. Now he was doubting that he could get on the same team as her, after what Ozpin said about eye contact determining everything. He came across a large tree, and stopped, he had lost sight of Kalista, and he hoped she was in the tree. There was a noise coming from the tree.

“Kalista?” he called.

No answer.

“Kalista, is that you?” he called again, and he walked closer.

 “WATCH OUT!” called a voice.

Calum looked up to see a girl fall from the tree, he couldn’t move out of the way in time, and she fell on him, bringing him to the ground.

“Sorry” said the girl who was lying on his back.

“Would you mind, maybe, GETTING OFF ME!?” said Calum.

“Oh! So sorry!” she said and got off him.

He got up and got a good look at the girl. She had short goldish hair that had to long pieces going over her shoulders, her brown eyes matched. She wore a sky blue dress with a VERY deep neck, under that was a purple shirt. The girl was of normal height for a 17 year old girl. There was one feature that caught Calum’s eyes, and that was her chest...but you can’t blame him for that, he was 17 after all, and one day he would regretfully tell his girlfriend his first impression of his partner.

“Hi there! I’m Abigail Smith, but you can just call me Abby,” she suddenly got a look on her face like she was ready to hurt something “actual you had better call me Abby, what’s your name?”

This girl was somewhat scary, she appears to be all sweet and bubbly to start, but without notice, she can become very mean.

“Uh hi Abby. I’m Calum Briggs” he said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So...I guess we’re partners!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah, I guess” and the two of them walked towards where the forest temple was. Calum hoped that there was still a chance that Kalista could be on the same team as him.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">“This is so annoying!” said Dante Roberson as she walked around the forest. She held her axe in her hand, putting marks in trees as she passed to insure she wasn’t going in circles. She landed in the forest about 15 minutes ago, and she still didn’t have a partner, which annoyed her, so much.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Ugh! I thought wearing bright colours would help get people to notice me! Maybe I should have gone with yellow...” she said to herself, rethinking her bright pink outfit.

<p class="MsoNormal">She was about to give up and just stay where she was until someone comes by, but she heard a gunshot. Dante, acting on her instincts, ran towards it.

<p class="MsoNormal">She came across a man fighting a beawolf. The man had sand yellow hair and he was holding two pistols. He wasn’t doing great against it, and it looked like he hurt his leg. Dante ran behind the Grimm, jumped on its backand stabbed it in the back of its head. She got off it as it fell to the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal">She looked at the man and put on her “cute” smile. “Hello, I’m Dante Roberson. Are you alright?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I just twisted my ankle” he said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, let me look at it”

<p class="MsoNormal">The man sat on the ground as Dante looked at his ankle.

<p class="MsoNormal">“My names Nathan Morrow by the way”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hi. You’ll be fine, just, you know don’t go getting launched off any cliffs any time soon!” she said jokingly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’ll be sure not to” he said with a smile.

<p class="MsoNormal">‘Finally! I found a partner, and he’s a cutie! Scour!’ she thought to herself.

Part 2
<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas Mason ran past several groups of people fighting Grimm or just arguing. She had gotten into a few fights with some Grimm, but she got rid of them easily. She was beginning to get tired, so she slowed down to catch her breath, her throat was really dry. ‘Damn it’ she said to herself. She checked her water bottle, empty ‘Of course’ she still had to get to the forest temple and back to the cliff, and had no water. She sat on the ground and fixed her the straps on her boots. She got up and started walking again until she was hit in the forehead with a bottle of water.

<p class="MsoNormal">“HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?” Pallas yelled at the unknown person in an unknown location.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You were thirsty, right?” said a girl somewhere above Pallas.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well yeah. BUT YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING TO THROW IT!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sorry”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where are you?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Right here” said the girl as she jumped down from the tree she was in.

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas looked the girl over. She had long black hair and wore a lot of dark blue and grey, but there was one thing that scared Pallas the most and that was a pair of wolf ears on her head. Pallas didn’t know what to think about this girl, she was raised to hate Faunus, but Pallas had never met one before, so she didn’t think she hated them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I assume you don’t have a partner yet?” asked Pallas.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s right”

<p class="MsoNormal">Both girls stood in silence and looked each other over.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m Pallas Mason, who are you?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Selena Lupa”

<p class="MsoNormal">“The temple is this way” said Pallas pointing to the north.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’ll follow you”

<p class="MsoNormal">Both girls walk in the direction of the temple.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">“Calum! Calum where are you?” yelled Kalista Briggs. She was scared that she hadn’t found him yet. She didn’t know what do if he wasn’t on her team. She continued to walk forward.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kalista!” yelled someone in the distance. It was a male voice.

<p class="MsoNormal">She turned and ran to where the voice was.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Calum!” she yelled as she ran. She came across a man standing next to a fallen down tree. It was her brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">He looked at her and smiled “Lista”

<p class="MsoNormal">She ran up to him and hugged him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I was worried I wouldn’t find you”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who’s this Calum?” said a girl behind Calum.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This is my twin sister, Kalista” he let go of his sister.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, nice to met ya!” said Abby.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kalista, this is Abby, my partner”

<p class="MsoNormal">‘No, no, no! I was too late I couldn’t find him in time!’ she said to herself.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hi, Abby” she said aloud

<p class="MsoNormal">“Lista, have you not found a partner yet?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“No, I was looking for you”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come on, you’ll stay with us, until we come across someone”

<p class="MsoNormal">The three of them walked north towards the temple.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Reena sat on one of the pillars of the temple, waiting for someone to come by that didn’t have a partner. She was beginning to get bored. She watched as many teams received their relics and headed back to the cliff.
