Summary[]
"Ren Plays Tag" consists of two shorts:

- "Ren Plays Tag" - Team JNPR plays a game of tag. When Lie Ren becomes "it", he puts himself through a disciplined martial arts training regime for his comeback. With his preparations finally complete, he tags Nora Valkyrie, but she tags him back immediately.
Transcript[]
In a space of pure whiteness, the giant blocky title and a certain rose emblem drop from the sky to the ground, where the four miniaturized members of Team RWBY pop out from behind it to smile, wave and adopt poses for the audience while an unseen speaker announces the show as: "RWBY CHIBI"!
In Team RWBY's dorm room, Weiss is studying at the table and writing on paper. The door to the room suddenly slams open thanks to Ruby's entrance.
Ruby: (frustrated) I'M BORED!! (calmly) Entertain me.
Weiss: Can't right now. I'm studying.
Ruby makes a small whimpering sound before sulkingly walking past Weiss into the room.
Ruby: (sulking rapidly) Yeah, I, I know you're busy, that makes sense. I don't really have anything else to do, but you, you got stuff to take care of, that's fine.After you're done, uh, would you wanna hang out?
Weiss: I'll be at this all night.
Ruby makes another dejected whimper and walks to the right side of the room. After a moment, she suddenly appears from the left side reading a book on the ground whilst scooting herself into the center of the dorm room.
Ruby: Maybe we can study together?
Weiss: (annoyed) Ruby, I really just need to focus.
Ruby makes yet another sad whimper and scoots out of the scene. She toddles herself to the side of Weiss who continues to ignore her as Ruby makes a sing-song like noise in an attempt to get attention, but Weiss still ignores her. Ruby, finally becoming agitated, jumps on Weiss' table and proceeds to flop like a fish, knocking everything off of the table.
Ruby: YOU MADE ME DO THIS!!
Shortly after Ruby passes out. Weiss just stares in shock and confusion.
Team JNPR is playing a game of tag, and Jaune is currently leaning around a tree looking around his surroundings. Pyrrha suddenly appears getting up onto a bench's backside and rubs Jaune's hair to get his attention. With his eyes locked onto her, Pyrrha pokes Jaune on the nose.
Pyrrha: Tag!
Jaune goes over to a tree which has Nora's leg sticking out of it, in which he swipes at Nora's boot.
Jaune: Tag!
Climbing through the trees, Nora goes to the bench on which Ren is sitting on, who is reading a book. She fist bumps the side of his head, but he appears reactionless.
Nora: Tag, you're it!
Nora falls out of the tree and skips away giggling. After a moment, Ren looks up from his book in surprise.
Ren: I'm... it?
Ren suddenly puts on a headband and proceeds to have a training montage in which he does increasingly difficult push-ups, meditation, gymnastics with Zwei, and levitation with the help of a fan. Afterward, he is seemingly by himself. A peppermint candy flies in towards him, but with closed eyes and chopsticks, he catches and eats the candy before doing the same actions to another candy from the opposite direction. The camera turns to Ruby, who is standing in front of him also wearing a headband.
Ruby: You're ready.
She then takes out a peppermint candy and eats it herself. Cut to Nora, who is skipping cheerfully down a hallway. Ren appears in the open doorway of Team JNPR's dorm room and jumps out before tapping Nora's chin, who has reached him.
Ren: Tag!
Nora: Tag back!
Nora simply headbutts Ren onto the floor and continues hopping down the hallway, using him as support. Ren appears to be knocked out with swirly eyes, but after a moment he wakes back up and makes an angry glance to Nora.
