I was still hoping that last night was all a dream. Being transported to the future is the most outrageous thing I've heard, aside from this piece of clothing that, that boy Lucas was making me wear. After a lot of deliberation last night with myself, I decided that maybe I should trust that boy a little so I removed my gear and slip on this "pajama". and now here I am on this huge bed with soft pillows all around me and it's morning.
I got out of the bed and I went out of the room and walk my way into the spacious hallways. I am going to find that boy and ask him question maybe now after some rest he might have answers as to why we were brought in this time.
"Good morning sir." A woman wearing black and white uniform approached me wearing a smile on her face.
I just stared at her
"Would you like something to eat? or perhaps some tea?"
Tea? did she say tea? excitement burst inside me, but I try to conceal it with my usual monotone voice and bored facial expression. I didn't say anything but I just followed her, I guess she got my hint so she lead me to the courtyard. There were tables set with tea and biscuits.

*Maybe what he said about the Titans and walls were true. The place seems so peaceful.* I thought to myself.
She made me sit down and she arrange the cups and saucers in front of me.
"This tea is one of the finest black tea in the world, it's called Da-Hong Pao, it has a sweet aroma and a peaty and earthy taste." she explained as she pours me tea " and this is, pastel de nata or egg tart, it's one of this house specialty. Please enjoy." and then she leave.
I take a sip of the tea and she is not wrong, it is indeed very warming. *I wonder where are the others? are they still asleep?*
"Captain!" someone called from my back, I turned around and I saw that boy Lucas with Sasha, Connie and Jean and they're all laughing. Looks like they woke up great.
"Captain, Lucas was just showing us this little box, with moving things inside! what is it called again?" Connie ask Lucas
"it's an iPad." he replied
"Oh right, an iPad captain! look, look." Connie showed me the box that they were talking about. *interesting*
"By the way ah, captain Levi, the others are already awake and are waiting for us in the back garden, we will be having breakfast in there, you can just leave those in there the maids will clean it up." he said
*leave this precious thing here? no way* So what I did was I brought my cup and the tea pot with me, as I tail them going to the back garden.
(At the Garden)
"Captain! Good morning!" Armin greeted me cheerly as he jog his way towards me, he is holding something in his hand, it looks like a stick but with a round net-like thing, I don't know what it is. "Commander Erwin is there by the lake." He said as he gestured towards the lake not that far from where we are standing.
After talking with me he went back to Historia and they continued playing with that stick-thing. Sasha, Jean and Connie are with Lucas and they're still busy playing with the box with moving things inside *what's it called again? an eye patch? iPa? iPad?* and the others are in their own worlds enjoying this rare chance to enjoy ourselves without having to deal with raging Titans ready to kill us at any moment.
Third Person's POV:
Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, except for Mikasa who is still so stiff and haven't adjusted to this bizarre happenings. She tried to enjoy the cup of cocoa that was given to her by the maids but her minds keeps wandering from places to places. Eren who is sitting beside her nudge her gently on the side to get her attention.
"You okay?" he asked as he takes a sip of his cocoa, Mikasa's grip to her cup tightens and she let out a heavy sigh "I am okay." she replied "Uhm, but you don't seem okay." he added, it took a while before Mikasa again replied. "It's just that I just realised some things, if we are currently living in this future, does that mean we were able to finally win over the titans?" she paused "The boy said in this future there are no walls and no Titans, so does that mean we were able to solve the problem?"
"I guess so." Eren replied
"But what if, as we are living this present, there in the past, they are still fighting against the Titans? what if the Titans are still destroying the city and they've already reach the inner walls? What if-"
"Even if it does, can we do something about it? Do we know how to go back in time?" she was cut off by Eren's question "I know what happened is still a big question, but we can't do anything about it, everyone here, even that boy Lucas didn't know why or how we get in here, so the best thing we can do now is just to live in the moment until we figure things out." Mikasa seems to be awaken by his answer, her stiff demeanour lightened and she relaxed her back against the chair. "Yes, yes indeed you're right." she replied.
Meanwhile, Commander Erwin is at the side of the lake, enjoying the colourful flowers lining the side of the lakes, the wood ducks that are freely swimming and the willow branches swaying with the wind.
He pick a handful of stones and throw them one by one in the lake. As the stone skips the water in creates a ripple around it and memories of his childhood come flooding in.
*Just like how we used to do it in the river father.* he thought to himself
He keeps on throwing stones one after another until he is only left with one, he held the stone close to his heart and with one swift motion toss it to the lake.
"I miss you father."
