Alright, so this has been done to death in other series, and I know that there's two others in RWBY with the adults watching the show, but I thought – how about Team STRQ in their Beacon days watching the future? With added Ozpin and Glynda?

A few headcanons I have about their Team first, which will probably affect the story (take note I started writing before the end of volume 3):

None of the girls are maidens

Summer/Raven and Qrow/Taiyang are partners

Taiyang and Raven hooked up in their last year, and they're in their second year here

Ozpin is immortal

Raven doesn't have those weird portal things we see in the beginning yet (I'll hold back on the 'Raven the big bad' theory for now though)

None of this should affect the story so far – if Raven does end up being evil, then hey, it'll be pre-evil Raven reacting to evil Raven, which will be delicious for angst. Alright, now that we got that outta the way, let's begin.

Professor Ozpin had experienced what many would call 'magic' far too many times in his life. Usually, they were wrong – huntsmen-in-training and warriors from ancient wars assuming that semblances were magic, children who would exclaim it when he would 'find' lien hiding behind their ears. Unless it was regarding the maidens, the discussion of magic was saved for the young and innocent.

Which was why he was surprised to find himself, along with Team STRQ and first-time teacher Glynda, taken from his office high up in the Beacon tower, and into a small room with a scroll project on a wall, and six chairs facing said screen. Summer Rose wondered out loud what kind of semblance brought them there. It wasn't semblance, however. It was some kind of magic.

The twins glanced at each other before setting themselves down on the chairs. Taiyang Xiao Long immediately sat down next to Raven, scooting his chair closer to his. She narrowed her eyes at him, but otherwise did nothing else in protest. Glynda, Ozpin and Summer remained standing.

"What are you guys doing?" Summer asked, frowning in confusion at her team.

"Our legs are tired," Qrow and Raven complained in unison. Glynda shot them a dirty glare.

"Well maybe if you didn't destroy half of the arena you wouldn't feel so sore!" she snapped. Ozpin sighed, placing one hand on the professor's shoulder, the other leaning on his cane.

"Glynda, please," he said calmly. Glynda took a deep breath before sitting down, her arms crossed defiantly. Ozpin smiled warmly down at Summer, gesturing to a seat. "Miss Rose, I'm sure if we all took a seat we can figure out how to return to Beacon."

Summer nodded, seating herself between Glynda and Taiyang, while Ozpin was seated next to Glynda. Taiyang opened his mouth, about to say what was no doubt a pun, when the screen flickered to life. The six stared as words began forming on the screen.

Take note of the future, for you can prevent it.

Qrow read the words out loud before asking, "what does that mean?"

"We… we must be watching the future," Taiyang said.

"Don't be ridiculous." Raven raised her brow. "There's no way – "

The screen fades black, before the words 'Rooster Teeth presents' appear on screen.

"Rooster Teeth?" Ozpin narrowed his eyes.

Qrow smirked. "I think they mean Cock Bi-"

He was cut off by a sudden pain in his stomach. He glared at his twin, who had her fist raised, ready for a second jab. Summer and Taiyang reached over to hold the Branwen back.

"I think you may find it for the best if you would calm down, Miss Branwen," Ozpin stared at the screen. "What we watch may be vital to our future."

Raven reluctantly lowered her hand.

The words scatter like petals in the wind, and a full moon appears on the screen, red petals and snow drifting down. A new series by Monty Oum fades onto the moon, and soon disappears behind a singular red petal.

Ozpin frowned thoughtfully. Oum was a familiar name growing up – a fairy tale forgotten by time. The legend was centuries old. None of the others would have heard of it. Sure enough, Glynda and his students were transpired by the screen and the sorrowful melody that accompanied it.

He silently wondered if Luna and Shawcross had any hand in what they were watching too.

A red-caped girl stands in front of a grave, cape flowing with red petals on a frozen cliff.

Summer sat up straight, staring at the girl's cape. It was almost an exact copy of her own, but ruby red instead of stark white.

"She reminds me of someone," Taiyang commented.

"If only we had another cape-wearing huntress in our midst," Qrow said sarcastically, grinning at Summer.

The red caped girl turns, walking away. The gravestone behind her comes into focus, revealing an image of a rose.

STRQ was suddenly overcome with a sense of dread, but none more so than Summer. There was something about the girl that tugged at her heart.

The girl walks through snowy woods. Flashes of Beowulves run past her, as she strolls silently. She reaches a large clearing, where hoards of Grimm await her.

"Fuck!" Taiyang cried out.

"Language, Mr Xiao Long!" Glynda snapped. The blond brawler ignored her, leaning forward.

"They're young, Tai," Raven pointed out. "No armour. I could take these on with my hands tied behind my back."

Qrow sighed. "Not everyone is obsessed with fighting like you, Rae."

"Well too bad for them."

Three Grimm rush at once, claws outstretched. The girl disappears in a flash, leaving rose petals behind.

That's Ms Rose's… Ozpin widened his eyes.

The girl ascends to the sky, her hood down. Her hair is a dark red. She spins around and opens her eyes, revealing silver eyes staring down at the Grimm.

Summer gaped at the screen. Save a few minor details, the girl was a mirror image of herself. She struggled to get words out – no one was talking.

"I-I think that's your daughter," Glynda suggested.

Summer swallowed. If that was her daughter, then what kind of world was she living in? And would that make that grave hers?

"Hold up, Goodwitch!" Taiyang shouted, standing up and clenching his fists. "You mean that Summer… that she's…!"

"Everyone dies at some point." Raven narrowed her brows. "It's to be expected in our line of work."

"Raven, now is not the time!" Qrow growled, glaring at his twin. She shot an equally dark stare back.

"I'm just being realistic, moron."

"Ms Rose," Ozpin said, looking at the leader. Summer was trembling in her seat, biting her lip. "Are you feeling alright?"

Summer took a deep breath and nodded. "L-let's just keep watching, guys. Raven, Qrow, calm down."

The twins eyed each other one more time before turning back to the screen.

The girl reaches for a red weapon and shoots down at a Grimm, killing it instantly. The music speeds up as the girl flips over another one and kills it instantly.

Qrow, Summer and Taiyang were grinning from ear to ear as the girl slaughtered Grimm after Grimm. Raven studied the girl's form – there was something about it that was familiar. She had the gracefulness of Summer Rose no doubt, but there was something more to her.

The girl's weapon transforms into a scythe, as she shoots more dust bullets at the monsters.

"She fights like Qrow," Raven whispered.

None of the others heard her, as Qrow himself had chosen to shout out "Fuck yeah!" at that moment. Qrow was well-known in Beacon for being a weapons enthusiast with a soft spot of scythes. The design of the girl's weapon was a gold mine to him.

Summer couldn't shake the feeling of fear for the girl as she began to put herself in more danger. It was just like looking at a mirror – and she hated it.

She spins her scythe around a Grimm's neck, pausing for a moment before smirking and slicing it in half. The onslaught of Beowulves continue as the girl fights back with dust bullets and melee attacks.

"She's impressive," Glynda said. "She could easily get into Beacon."

Qrow turned to the professor and scowled, pointing at himself. "You've known me for a year and you haven't even told me I'm okay."

Glynda ignored him.

One Grimm manages to get a hit on the girl and she slides back, using her scythe to stop her. She assesses the situation before reloading her dust cartridge, the flies towards the Grimm in an array of rose petals and dismembered Beowulf limbs. She hacks and slices at the monsters, too fast for anyone to see.

Raven blinked. For an instance, she swore she had seen something black and red flash across the screen that wasn't the girl.

"This is amazing!" Taiyang exclaimed, laughing. "Beat 'em up, girl!"

The girl stops attacking and poses in front of the moon, while dust bullets fall around her. Her figure fades into a silhouette and is pushed to the far left as four new silhouettes appear – White, Black, Yellow. The words 'RWBY' appear beneath.

"We must be seeing all of these, then," Glynda said. "RWBY. As in ruby red?"

"She's okay," Summer sighed in relief, leaning down on her chair. The rest of her team glanced at her, brows raised.

"So, you do think that she's your daughter, then?" Qrow asked.

Summer paused for a moment before nodding slowly. "I don't know why, but I feel connected to her. It's not that much of a stretch. Besides," she smiled, "I would feel blessed to have such a beautiful daughter."

Taiyang rubbed Summer's hair, grinning. "Well, hopefully the next one won't be so worrisome for you."

"It looks although we don't have that long of a wait," Ozpin stated, staring at the screen.

RWBY – White Trailer

Six hearts pounded in unison with anticipation.

Yes, the trailer chapters are short, but these will get longer once we reach the actual series.

I'm aiming to update the trailers once per week, then once the show starts the chapters will come out fortnightly. When I'm caught up to the show, I'll have them react to the other RWBY related things - the manga and anything else Rooster Teeth whips out for RWBY. Then I'll have a spin off in between where STRQ react to X-Ray and Vav maybe. Wonder if you guys can tell which team is my favourite.

I've written all the trailers except the Yellow one.

Thanks for reading! Leave a review if you want, any favourites and follows are appreciated!
