Yesterday

Porco was skipping classes as he hang out at the rooftop, sleeping. He's always like that since he's one of kind of people that smart but lazy. While he was resting his mind with the cold breeze of the wind, someone came to him. "Sleeping in the middle of school?" He opened his eyes and see Eren was sitting in front of him. "E-Eren?!"

Eren smiled and waved. "Hi, Porco." he said as Porco trying to calm himself. "What you doing here?" he asked and Eren chuckled.

"Tomorrow, I want to visit the South. Come with me." Eren explained but as Porco was sleeping earlier, his mind is still vauge. So he just agree and Eren went back to his school.

1 hour before, at Porco's house

Ring! Ring! The phone is ringing, waking Porco up. He rub his eyes and answer the call. "Who's this?" he asked. "Yo! It's Eren. Can you get ready?~" It was Eren who was calling. He checked the clock and startled by what it says. "What the heck? It's 5 in the morning. What are you up to?" He was really sleepy and don't have any energy to scold Eren.

"Be ready in 30 minutes. I'm outside your house~" Eren said and he hung up the phone.

"Hello?" Porco got up from his bed and went to the window. He peeked outside and see Eren is waving at him. He sighed and went to take a shower. After he done it, he change and went outside. He sees Eren in a brown jacket with his hair tie. "Yo! Eren." He walked and shooked hand with him. "Let's go."

"What do you mean 'where'? We are going to the South, idiot." said Eren as they just keep walking. Porco at first was suprised but when he recalled the thing he dealed with Eren yesterday, he just follow him. After ten minutes walking, they arrived at the border. But Eren decided to stop there first which concerned Porco to ask. "Why we stopping here?"

Eren looked at him while smiling. "Oh! We just waiting for somebody." Suddenly, a girl figure appeared. "There you are!" he said as he walked to the girl.

"Mikasa, sorry for the trouble." he apologized to her as she handed a bag filled with two food container. Mikasa shooked her head and smiled.

"No, it's okay! It's for you after all." She leaned aside and wave at Porco as he returned the greet.

Mikasa turned back to her boyfriend. "Be careful on the way. Don't come back hurt or I'll hurt you." her statement makes Porco felt chilly. He took a glance at Eren and he's also scared. 'I heard that Mikasa has a weak body, but why she is so intimidating? Even Eren was scared." thought Porco.

"Then, we'll be going." said Eren as he turned around and about to walk but Mikasa tugged his jacket making him stopped. He turned to her and smiled. "Don't have anything?" she asked while looking down. Eren grabbed her head and kissed her forehead. Then, he looked at her eyes. "Take care." he said and Mikasa pouting. "I thought it will landed on the lip." That statement makes Eren laughed. Mikasa looked at him and smiled. "I'll be waiting for it." she said. "Hmph! Then, I'll be hurry back!" said Eren makes the girl blushed. He chuckled and walked away with Porco. Mikasa watched them go through the border and went back home.

"Don't know you can be that sweet." teased Porco makes Eren blushed. "S-shut up!" Porco laughed. Then, they proceed their journey.

At North, the Paradis Field

"Where's Eren and Porco?" asked Reiner. Today, they were meeting for the weekly gathering to give out any reports about the state. But today's, they're gonna discuss about Maria's and Sina's High.

"Oh yeah! Mikasa told me that Eren was going outside the state for a while." replied Armin makes the others shocked. Pieck also remembered that Porco told her about his trip with Eren. "What are they doing over there?" asked Bertholdt. They all confused of what the two thinking. Luckily, Jean break the silence. "Anyway, let's get to the main point. Annie." he said as he looked at Annie who was scouting the two schools. Annie clear her throat and started giving out the reports.

"When you guys fought with the South, it seems like the leader of each school are scheming something." she said.

"What is it?" questioned Falco. Annie shrugged her shoulder. "I don't know. But it seems like it something big." she said and Armin interrupted. "Pieck. Along this two month, do you caught anything strange?" he asked while Pieck rubbing her chin, trying to recall about anything. Then, something came to her mind. "Oh yeah! There's seems like a group of people, hanging out at the border between North and East. They were not the Twin Devils cuz' they don't wear a leather jacket but a black cloak." Pieck said and that makes all of them startled.

"East? You mean Black Bulls?!" Jean said with a high pitch. "Holy shit..." cussed Reiner. They all look serious right now.

Armin looked at Pieck and tell her to continue. "They were not just hanging around. They are waiting." she said make it more suspicious. "Waiting for who?" asked Jean.

"Yelena and Onyankopon." said Pieck.

This is making the situation more heavy. They all were shocked and serious at the same time. "I... didn't see this coming. How could..." stuttered Armin and Reiner slammed the ground. "Let's go to those bastards!" He stand up and ready to finfld those two but Annie tackled him down and locked him. "Relax, big guy." "Let me go! Damnit!" struggled Reiner.

Armin parted the two and calmed them down. "Annie, you shouldn't do that." he said with a normal looks. But in Annie's vision, he looks like a puppy begging. She blushed and looked away. "Then, let me rent you for the whole day." That deal confused Armin. On the other, Jean handled the others. "We should do something but what?" he asked himself makes them all insulted him as an idiot. "We should wait for Eren to come back. We can't just move on our own." said Connie and for the first time, the others complimented him. "Connie's right. We should wait for him." agreed Falco as they all also agree.

"No, we should move it now." objected Annie.

"Yeah, I agree with her." Armin also thought that they should make a move.

"Why?!" asked Reiner. Suddenly, Bertholdt walked to Annie's side. "I also agree with Armin, Reiner." This action irritated him more. "Why should we do it, you twit?!"

"Eren said that we can do whatever we want! He also do a lot of things for us! So why can't we return him the favor, you buffy muscle bastad?!" yelled Bertholdt makes the whole group silence. "To begin with, we were weak. We can't even do anything about the Twin Devils member who run around here while we just sit back and watch it happen. But when he  came, he changed all of it. He changed me, you, everyone! He's the reason we make it this far. He's the reason we gather here. But we don't even do anything. It's all Eren's work not our. Do you think he wants something useless like ourselves?!"

"Didn't he said that we should be free? Do whatever we want? So we should do it!" His speech moved everyone's heart. They never realised of how much their leader have done for them. They all started to tear up.

Armin wiped his tears and put up a serious look. "So what do you say? Yes or not?!" he said couraging them. They all looked at each other and smiled.

"YES!!"
