It was morning, around 7:30 AM. The sun beamed into the bedroom, lighting it up well. On the bed, slept two figures.

Eren stirred softly, opening his eyes halfway at first. He then blinked, the first thing he saw was complete red.

"What the...?", he blinked, but then realized it was Mikasa's scarf.

Mikasa held his head extremely close to her chest, fast asleep. She held him like a teddy bear. The two were 9 years old, although were both about to turn 10. Mikasa's birthday this month, and Eren's in March.

"Mikasa...! Hey Mikasa!", Eren yelled, smothered. Mikasa didn't answer, as she only cuddled him closer.

"Mikasa...! Come on, wake up!", Eren said a bit louder. Mikasa stirred then, her eyes opening slowly.

"What is it Eren...?", she asked, finally letting go. Eren gasped for air, sitting up.

"Finally...", he sighed.

Mikasa blinked cutely, not getting it. "Come on we need to get ready for school", Eren said as he climbed out of bed. Mikasa nodded. They got dressed, and hurried downstairs.

"We're heading out!", Eren said. "Have a great time at school you two", smiled Carla.

"We will", Mikasa said, as she and Eren hurried out.

Mikasa wore her scarf, it was a cold February day. Mikasa's birthday was only a week away. It was on February 10th.

A whole year had went by since Mikasa's parents died. She had been living with the Jaegers for a whole year now. After a year, while Mikasa was still very clingy to Eren, her nightmares were less, and she was slowly but surely getting better.

"It still feels like December!", Eren admitted. Mikasa moved closer to him for warmth. Eren blushed a bit, but let her.

They walked down town to get to school. They passed a couple shops, where Mikasa suddenly stopped.

"Mikasa?", asked Eren seeing her. She was starring intently in one of the shop windows. Eren blinked, and went over.

"What's up?", he asked, he looked in and suddenly jumped back.

"WHOA!", he yelled, seeing a huge inflatable Orca whale pool toy sitting in the window. It was the size of both Eren and Mikasa put together.

"Who makes a pool toy that big?!", he gawked.

"It's cute...", Mikasa admitted, not taking her eyes off of it. "Huh? Really? You like whales Mikasa?", asked Eren, not knowing.

"Dolphins. Orcas are actually dolphins. I really like them alot", corrected Mikasa.

"Really? I heard they were violent predators though, and could even kill a shark", Eren stated.

"That's true, but they are also extremely social creatures, who stay a close family forever", Mikasa replied.

Eren grinned, she was always very smart "So...you really like it?", he asked. Mikasa nodded, a look of eagerness in her eyes.

"Hold on a sec, okay?", said Eren then. Mikasa blinked, but she nodded. Eren entered the store. It was a store that sold rare items.
