Like assuming that Jaunedice pt.2 will be about Jaune getting back at Cardin by beating him with some hidden power or he meets Velvet and a new ships is born. Or Sun being a White Fang member sent to bring Blake back or terminate her. Of course, that would seem to indicate that her team is not going to be so loving and accepting, since it seems everyone thinks her team will be as taken with bunny girl as the rest of us. The teams were basically formed at random, so it is hard to say what will happen with any grouping. A Faunus joining up with people who are bigoted or cold towards the Faunus is quite plausible. One other thing is that we don't know for sure that Velvet's team is a first-year team like RWBY. During that special RWBY livestream during Volume 1 they said we may have already seen a second-year and he said Velvet's team has seen "many battles", which could mean they have been together longer than a few months.

That would make the whole thing even more interesting. It would basically mean that Velvet has spent over a year in a state of perpetual isolation within her team, only being respected as a fellow huntress rather than as a person. As a result, the involvement of the first-years in her situation is what prompts a breakthrough moment. Such a scenario would keep along with the idea of Ruby's class being a special one that shakes up the established order for the better.
