"And, they haven't been found yet?" Professor Ozpin asked, starring out the window.

"Not as yet," Glynda Goodwhich replied, "And they were the only teams not to return from the Emerald Forest yesterday."

"Well, Team Ruby had been known to break the rules, and they're very close with Team Juniper." Ozpin replied, turning to Glynda, "It would not be surprising if they went off to fight something else. After all, it wouldn't be the first time. I'm sure you remember the docks."

"I do remember," Glynda confirmed, "Although, perhaps we should send out a search party."

Ozpin closed his eyes, and took a sip from his mug. "We should wait one more day. Check police reports in the city, and see if there's anywhere else they might turn up."

"Alright." Glynda replied, "Are you sure you don't want to send out a search party?"

"Right now, we shouldn't." Ozpin reiterated, "All that is going on is a simple case of a few missing students. And, I'd like to keep it that way for the time being. If they haven't shown up tomorrow, we'll send out a search party, though we shouldn't make a big issue out of this."

Glynda nodded, and left the room, leaving Ozpin alone with just the loud ticking of the clock.

It felt like hours before the huntresses and huntsmen stopped running. They had no idea where they were, or what they were doing here. "How are we supposed to get back?" Ruby asked, clutching her tired knees.

"I don't know if we can." Phyrra replied.

"Does that mean we're stuck here?" Blake asked.

"We... we can't be!" Jaune said, "We have to get back home!"

"What if we can't?" Ren asked.

"Always the eternal pessimist..." Weiss scoffed.

"Ren isn't a pessimist!" Nora defended, "He's a realist."

"We're all missing the point." Phyrra said, "We need to get back to Remnant."

"But, what if we can't?" Blake asked.

"I... I don't know." Phyrra acknowledged.

"Right now, we need a place to sleep." Ruby suggested, "With everything going on, we need to blend in. Right now, we should find a place to rest for the night, and look for a way home tomorrow."

"But... there may not be a way home?" Weiss asked.

"Now who's the pessimist?" Yang asked, crossing her arms.

"Come one girls, we can't give up hope!" Ruby said, "After all, hope is what keeps us strong! C'mon, let's find a place to sleep, and then start searching tomorrow."

The others nodded slowly, their confidence slowly diminishing.

Twilight Sparkle entered Pinkie Pie's home, still shy. "Um... are you sure you're okay with me staying here for tonight?"

"Of course we are!" Pinkie Pie shouted excitedly, "We wouldn't we be?"

"Well, after what I did tonight..."

"That doesn't matter." Sunset said, "All that matters is who you are now."

"And, there's also a slumber party going on, so maybe we can play a game?" Spike asked, jumping out of Twilight's arms.

Twilight chuckled, "Alright, Spike. Maybe one game."

"I call Mario Kart!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"You're on RD." Applejack challenged.

"This place is a dump." Weiss pointed out, uncomfortably lying down in her bed in the hotel room. Each team had gotten their own room. Unfortunately, the place they had to stay at, was, indeed, a dump.

"Oh, it's not that bad." Yang said.

"The walls are leaking water, Yang's bed is stained with some kind of soda, the springs in my mattress are broken, and Ruby's bed frame is missing a leg." Blake said.

"Yeah, Weiss, you got the best bed." Ruby said, "Why are you complaining?"

"I'm simply stating that we should've gotten better accommodations than this." Weiss explained.

"We couldn't afford anything." Ruby replied, "The money here is different than in Vale."

"If we couldn't afford anything, how did we get this hotel?" Weiss asked. Three pairs of eyes focused on Yang.

"What?" She asked.

"You were the one who got us these rooms." Blake said, "How?"

Yang smiled slyly, "I have my ways."

"Girls, let's just focus on the fact that we have a place to sleep, no matter how much of a dump it is." Ruby said, "Tomorrow, we'll get something to eat, and look for a way home, alright?"

Everyone else nodded, and they shut off the lights.
