It was early in the morning. The cadets of the 104th trainig corps were stationed at an outpost, including you and Selena. You were all either chatting or playing chess.

You were sitting in the corner of the room at a table, with Selena. You two were looking at Sasha and waiting for her to say that she can hear something large approaching.

"Um, why are you two staring at me?" Sasha asked confused. Everyone who was sitting at her tabe turned to you.

"We were just thinking about something..." Selena said still focused on Sasha.

"Does it have to do something with me?" She touched her face for some reason, like something was on it.

"Can you hear anything, Sasha? Something large? Heavy? Loud?" You said, focused on her as well.

"No? Why would I-" Her eyes widened. "I actually can hear something."

Everyone looked at her strangely.

"Great! Das the titans, less go!" Selena said getting up.

Suddenly Nanabo and others burst into the room reporting that titans are approaching their outpost.

"But how did you even know-?" Sasha turned to you but had no time to finish.

Everyone rushed outside, jumped on their horses and left. Same as in the anime, Miche ordered you to split in groups and inform the nearby villages, while he stayed there and distracted the titans, then died after seeing the Beast titan.

Meanwhile, everyone believes that Wall Rose has been breached and that is the cause of titans inside the walls, while the remaining Scout Regiment members head out to deal with oncoming titans.

You and Selena were in Connie's group and therefore visiting his village. You were approaching his house when you all stopped.
Connie looked in shock and disbelief at the titan stuck in his house.

"His mama do be ugly af." You whispered to Selena and she laughed a little.

"Why are we like this?" She rhetorically asked.

"Like what?"

"So evil."

"Who knows?"

Connie stepped off his horse and got a little closer to his house. He found a photo of his family on the ground.

"Yo, Connie!" You said and he turned around. "That titan kinda looks like your mom."

"Huh? Wait how do you know how my mother looks?" He asked.

"You're literally holding the picture." You answered. "Anyway," You put a hand on his shoulder. "Do you think it could be your mom?"

"What are you even saying?"

"Well if Eren and Annie can transform, why wouldn't your mom and other people be able to? But maybe against her will?..." You said almost darkly.

He looked at you for a while. ".....How did you know the titans were about to approach our outpost earlier today?" He was very suspicious of you two, and who wouldn't be?

You looked at an invisible watch on your hand." Oh look what time it is! Let's go drink some water, Selena!" Then you looked at connie and winked, "Remember to stay hydrated!"

He looked at you while you were leaving for your horses. He didn't know what to think of you. In his eyes you were weird and suspicious, yet you were his friends, so he just decided to get over it.

"There's nothing here! Let's move out!" You heared someone say then you left the village.

-----

Now was the time to split into two groups and see where the breach happened. You and Selena of course knew there was no breach so you stayed behind everyone.

You were riding for about 3 hours now and were exhausted. You looked at Selena and told her: "I'm hungry."
She opened her bag and took out some snickers.

"Where'd you get 'em?" You asked confused.

"I alwas carry food with me." She answered.

"That's understandable."

"......Yo, look at that!" Selena said after a while, pointing to her right.

"What?" Reiner and Connie were in front of you so they heared her.

"A tree!" She said and you all looked at her like 'really'.

You then turned to Reiner and Connie. "She's bored and a little hungry. She usually gets like this when that's the case." You said to them while Selena was singing, dancing and making weird noises in the background.

-----

You finally reunited with the other group and the Leaders started talking about something. Then, as predicted, you were about to stay the night in the unknown abandoned castle.

This is gonna be fun!
