A/N: Really need to think and come up with ideas with my other story, so I just came up with this as a side story. Based off another fic I found a really long time ago but can't find again.

Dove's teammates were all glaring at him, he wanted to ask why but the words didn't seem to appear. They looked so much bigger and taller than they always looked and... different? He couldn't figure out why but they all looked strangely different. They then started shouting at him, it was so deafening to hear them yell but then he made sense of what they were saying. "Why do you discriminate us so much Dove?" said a newly faunas transformed Sky. "We didn't do anything wrong to you Dove, and now we're all dead!" said a faunas Russell. "But now you'll join us you fucking jerk, how does it feel to be a big bully thats now dead?" said a faunas Cardin, that swung a larger version of his mace at Dove, ending his life.

Dove jolted up as he awakened. Sitting up on his bed, sweating and breathing heavy. He looked at his team, luckily they were still asleep and not shouting or trying to kill him. Dove then started think of his dream and what he saw. Why were his team mates faunas? Why were they mad at him? What did they mean "we"?

He was in the dorm's bathroom washing water on his face and looking at himself in the mirror. He started to reflect on why a nightmare like that occurred, He never truly hated the faunas. It's just that with Cardin being the team leader and school bully, he didn't have a say. He didn't have a choice but to join with the team and their bullying, Dove remembered the fake laughing he'd done when Cardin started his teasing with Velvet and how sad he felt when she ran off crying, because of him, it was because of him and his team she was so sad.

He quietly left his dorm and just wanted to go for a walk and think things through, he wasn't sleepy anymore so might as well he thought. He kept walking through Beacon academy until he was in the area where all the first year students had their big sleepover. He saw a corridor to the left he didn't notice before, above the doorway a sign read 'Beacon gardens.' He started walking there, interested in looking at some plants to kill some time. He explored for a couple minutes looking at a couple cacti until he heard a noise, not the basic noises of the walls or the bugs living on the plants but a noise from a person. Dove realized he wasn't alone in this garden, so he slowly discovered new areas to identify the source. As he looked around he saw a figure of someone one their knees, pouring something over the plants. He hid behind a rather large plant pot and spied on the person. At a new angle he saw, this person was pouring water on the plants, he also noticed there were carrot plants near her. Her, something Dove saw when he studied her figure and shape, it was really dark in the room where he had barely any light to see but the heat lamps did give support. Soon the girl finished pouring and stood up to go see some other plants, until she heard someone sniffle.

"Who-whos there?" she asked in the darkness. Dove already knew who the person was just by hearing the voice and accent, it was Velvet. 'Oh crap, of all people it's her?' He remembered how he was just thinking of her until it hit him. She knew he was there. 'What do I do?' he thought. Dove started to panic, then he froze when he heard "You, behind the pot. I know you're there, what do you want?" Dove knew he was pretty much screwed and slowly stood up, revealing himself. 'Do I bully her? I mean I usually do it, but... my teams not here' Dove mentally slapped himself. 'What kind of thought is that you idiot? You never wanted to bully anyone!' As he stood he heard her gasp. 'No, it's one of them! Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me I was just watering plants! I'm innocent here!'

But she was surprised as his only reaction was saying "Uh.. hey?" "Hi Dove." She returned. She was hesitant to ask "You're not like, going to hurt me right?" She was already planning an escape if the answer was yes. Dove was really struck by this, as he wasn't feeling like a bully or hurting someone at this time of day. "No of course not,just had a bad dream and wondered around for a bit until I found myself here. Why are you here?" he asked. "I always come here early to tend to my plants I've been growing for a while, I just don't have enough time during the day to do it." Dove leaned to his side a bit and glanced at what was in the pots. "Well, they're really pretty." He muttered without thinking, but as he realized what he said they both froze and looked at the ground. "Th-thank you" Velvet said. "So you've been growing these for how long?" Dove asked, trying to clear the awkward atmosphere. "Since I found out this place had a garden, so about a year and a half." She replied, relieved she wasn't going to get bullied.

Soon the conversation that took place lasted longer than they both planned and they saw they were getting closer to one another. The fearful feelings Velvet carried when she saw Cardin's teammate were vanishing and Dove felt like she wasn't afraid of him any more. Out of nowhere they don't remember when it happened, but the talk of plants had lead to personal related stories of their past. They discussed what each of their semblances were, how their weapons were designed, why they wanted to become hunters, funny family stories, and any negative tension between both of them was long gone. They were both sitting criss-cross across from each other when Dove looked to the left through a window, he saw that the sun was just starting to rise above the horizon. "We should get back to our beds, our teams will find out we were gone and we should get some sleep." Said Velvet. 'I'd love to get in your bed..' Thought Dove 'Wait, what did I just think to myself?!' "Dove? Dove, you alright" asked Velvet, she saw he was blushing slightly. "Uh.. yeah, yeah just thinking. So.. I'll see you later?" He said. "Sure, later is fine." Velvet said shyly. Without thinking, she leaned over a pulled him into a hug that caught him off guard. Blushing as red as the tomatoes in this garden, he lightly returned the hug, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in. Dove could feel her rabbit ears on his face, they tickled his cheeks. After the hug felt like it lasted longer than it needed to be, the released each other and stared at their feet, afraid to look at each other's eyes. "So.. see you later?" asked/said Dove. "Yea-yes sure, until next time I guess." Velvet said blushing. Bothe teens turned around and went back to their respective dorm rooms, feeling quite happy after the events that just took place.
