It was that time of the school year again at Beacon Academy where the student library had never been busier. With the end of the year fast approaching, as many young Huntsman and Huntresses as the hall could accomodate were studying for the upcoming exams, either sitting at desks or computer terminals. The only two that weren't turned to face us as the camera panned over to them.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Lie Ren of Team JNPR, from the popular web-series, 'RWBY'." Ren greeted as he introduced himself.

"And I am Pyrrha Nikos from the same team and show." Pyrrha waived as she stood next to him.

"For many of you reading this, it may be coming up on that time of year again." Ren began to explain. "These next few weeks is when many high-school and college students begin taking their final exam of the year."

"That's right, Ren." Pyrrha nodded. "This can tend to be a stressful time for many who need to spend all the time they can allow to make sure they are prepared for these final tests." To make an example out of her point, she moved to the side to reveal the table she and her stoic comrade were standing in front of. On it, surrounded by textbooks and piles of notebook paper scribbled all over with notes, Jaune and Nora were busy cramming for their respective tests they had to take very soon. Nora was going over notes, trying to decipher what was stuff she actually noted down from her classroom doodles and games of Hangman with Ruby, while Jaune seemed to have his eyes glued to a textbook called "Dust Applications 101".

"Which, Pyrrha, is why we're here to give you all some tips on how to keep in top condition to prepare for these tests." Ren added, walking over to Jaune and removing his textbook to reveal the X-Ray and Vav comic he had underneath it. "First off, remove all distractions."

"What? How did you know I was reading that?" Jaune complained, upset he was caught.

"Jaune, you don't even use Dust in combat." the ninja pointed out, reading the book's title.

"Hah! He's gotcha there, Jauney!" Nora laughed, only for her humor to be defused as Pyrrha looked over the notes she was reading, only to find a page covered in hearts with the words "ReNora 4-ever" being doodled with the pencil in her hand. "I-I can explain!"

"Sure you two can." Pyrrha chuckled as she rolled her eyes.

"Pyrrha, trust me." Jaune said in his defense. "We want to pass these finals, but there's so much work we need to put in for it! We don't even know where to begin!"

"Lucky for you, Jaune, we're here to help you two with that." Ren smiled.

"One way to make this a bit more enjoyable is by making a game out of it." Pyrrha suggested as she stood in the hall between her team and RWBY's dorms, both with the doors wide open. In RWBY's room, the four girls sat around Yang as she read off a series of trivia questions pertaining to their studies with a series of snacks each team member enjoyed. For every question Ruby, Weiss, and Blake got right, they would either get a strawberry cream cookie, a milano, or fish-flavored biscuit respectively.

"Okay, this one's for you Ruby. Which Huntsman team was the first to infuse dust with one of their teammates' weapons?"

"Oh, I should know this...IVRY?" Ruby guessed with hopeful eyes.

"Ooooh, so close, but no, Sis." Yang sighed as her sister pouted. "Blake, Weiss? Any steals?"

"I believe it was Oxanna Krahsny or Team ORCD, right?" Weiss guessed.

"Bingo, Ice Queen!" Yang cheered as she tossed a milano cookie to the heiress, much to the dismay of Ruby. Just before she could take a bite, Blake caught her hand just out of reach of her mouth.

"Actually, you're both wrong in a way." Blake interjected. "You got the team right, Weiss, but not the member. It was Ross Corva, who lined his morningstar spikes with fire dust to turn it into an actual fireball."

Yang furrowed her brow as she turned to a book by her side, flipping through the pages and reading a passage that made her eyes widen. "Golly, Blake, you're right! My mistake!" Yang said in surprise as she ripped the milano from Weiss' hand and gifted Blake a biscuit, leaving Ruby and Weiss looking on sadly and jealously as Blake enjoyed her third treat in a row. "Don't get so down, you two. We've still got alot more to go!"

Pyrrha smiled as she turned to her room, hoping to see if Jaune and Nora decided to follow in their rival's footsteps, only to be shocked to find a much more barbaric test going on. Jaune was being held shirtless, hands tied to a hook hanging from the ceiling, and standing in a large tub of water on the floor filled up to his shins as Nora kept her hands on a car battery, absorbing electricty. The spartan could only put two and two together before rushing in. "Wha-Nora! What is all this!"

"Not now, P-Money! Jaune's trying to focus on the answer!" Nora scolded. "Now, Jaune, what was the name of the first female Atlesian General to be appointed to the rank?"

"Pyrrha, please help me." Jaune begged, ignoring the question.

"WRONG! It was General Erika Blancford!" Nora snapped as she plunged her hand into the pool, using her semblance to send a jolt of electricity through the water and electrocute her team leader, simultaneously making him scream in shock, literally.

Across the hall, one could hear Ruby say "Hey, did somebody hear a girl screaming?"

"Well, I can see that worked about as well as expected..." Ren sighed, after listening to Jaune's retelling of their first attempt to make studying a little less tedious.

"Oh, come on, Ren!" Nora whined. "We were just getting into the Lightning Round!"

"Nora, your idea for the lightning round was moving the tub into the thunderstorm outside and having Jaune hold a metal rod over his head." Ren deadpanned.

"Thank you, by the way, for pulling the plug on that." Jaune gratefully nodded, still jittery from the ordeal.

"No need for that. You'll both be happy to know this plan's much less painful." Ren waived it off as they walked down the corridor of the lecture halls towards one of their classrooms. "Some teachers will have special study sessions to review subjects you either are having trouble on or missed."

"So you got us one with Professor Oobleck?" Jaune asked, stopping as they started to pass by his class.

"No, sadly." Ren shook his head. "Professor Oobleck's only offered his to upperclassmen teams."

"Then who's working with the younger class?" Nora asked.

"That would be I, Miss Valkyrie!" Both students twirled to look behind them and find Professor Peter Port beaming behind them, and also his mustache. "Now, we musn't dilly-dally! You both are in for a treat! I haven't had my students come for my eight-hour review session since you were both still in kindergarten!"

"Eight...hours?" Jaune asked. He could barely stay awake for the original hour long class he had with the eccentric gentleman. Eight hours would be more torture than Nora's studying game.

"Don't worry, Mister Arc. We'll break for dinner at about the six hour mark." Port reassured him as he took the young man by the arm and walked into his classroom, Nora right behind him with a more positive outlook on the subject of being locked in a room with Professor Port for a third of a day. "Now, have I ever told you students about the time I fought off a Cancer with my bare hands?"

Jaune slumped into his room, completely exhausted from forcing himself to stay awake after listening to Port ramble on about his adventures for what felt like forever. "Never...Again..." Jaune sighed as he dropped himself onto his bed.

"That bad, hmm?" Pyrrha asked, looking up from one of her leader's comics she developed a liking for thanks to him.

"So...much...cramming...of knowledge..." Nora whined as she followed Jaune in and flopped onto her bed in a similar fashion as the blonde.

"It sounds like you two've been working hard." Ren commented.

"You don't know the half of what we went through with Port..." Jaune replied.

"I thought it'd just be a study session." Nora continued. "He actually pulled in real Cancers and Beowolves for us to fight!"

"Then it sounds like you tow need something to unwind with." Ren suggested.

"B-But, Ren, in here? With Jaune and Pyrrha watching?" Nora asked, waiting for her stoic best friend to realize what he just said.

"Wha-Nora! I didn't mean that!" he defended before muttering "Later." under his breath.

"What Ren means is there's a stressbuster party Team CFVY's throwing in the student lounge." Pyrrha answered. "Most schools around this time have events such as this one to give students a chance to have a break from their studies and final projects and relax and have fun."

"Sounds fine by me." Jaune shrugged, smiling a bit. "You up for it, Nora?"

"PARTY TIME!" Nora suddenly cheered, revitalized at the opportunity to have some fun for the first time since finals week had started. With her bolting out the door, the rest of her team soon followed afterwards.

After a few hours of dancing, laughing, and drinking punch that for once, wasn't spiked by Coco, the party ended with Goodwitch's arrival to enforce student curfew. Team JNPR went to bed relaxed and tired, ready to take on their exams in the morning. They awoke the next day, quickly getting washed and dressed, visiting the cafeteria with RWBY to get a healthy breakfast, and then went to their respective testing rooms.

"So we hope some of these tips will help you pass your finals." Pyrrha smiled. "Sorry for the abrupt ending, but ours are about to begin!"

"Pyrrha, before we end this, I have one more tip." Ren interjected.

"Oh, and what might that be?" Pyrrha asked.

"Don't forget to study instead of just handing out studying tips for finals." he deadpanned. "I learned that the hard way."

"Oh, dear..." Pyrrha suddenly began silently lamenting. She had been helping Jaune and Nora prepare to study for their finals so much, she and Ren completely forgot to take care of theirs! Maybe there would still be some time to do some last second cramming, she thought as she whipped out her text book-

"Miss Nikos..." Professor Goodwitch interruped. "Please put your book away. It's time to begin your exam."

No such luck.
