Hey guys! Am I early? Late? I have no idea but here's this, so read on!

Astro whimpered, pacing at the door. Reginale fluttered over to the demon, leading Armin. Armin's wings were larger and less transparent, showing more of a true design. He had blue markings over his body and his hair was tipped a vibrant blue, seeming to almost sparkle. His ears pointed and faded into the same blue on his hair and his eyes were a bit more round, seeming slightly bigger.

"Miss Eren?" Armin asked, hovering over to Astro who pleaded him with his eyes. Armin shook his head softly and Astro whimpered, pawing at the bottom of the door. Mikasa walked in, her wings larger, her eyes sharper with a burning red iris and her nails a bit sharper. Her tail whipped behind her as Fally flew in, over to Reginale and Astro, who looked in need of some comforting.

"It's okay Astro. It's only for today." Mikasa said as Armin sat on the floor, feet tucked under his thighs and he stroked Astro's ears. The demon whimpered, burying his head into Armin's stomach. Armin and Mikasa all struggled to comfort him for a while until he had finally fallen asleep, pressed against the door.

"What are we going to do?" Armin asked, sighing as he leaned back against the couch, pulling his knees up to his chest. Mikasa shrugged as she wrapped her wings weakly around herself. Armin sighed again, wrapping his arms around his knees and burying his face into the space between his knees and chest. It was the same every full moon. Eren would be taken somewhere and Astro was dropped off with Armin and Mikasa and he wouldn't leave his spot by the door.

But this time they knew why Eren was taken away. Or they at least thought so.

"It's got to be something with the whole half life deal." Connie said thoughtfully as he tapped his wand against his chin.

"Duh." Jean said, crossing his arms. He flicked his horse tail, scowling down at Connie who scowled back. Marco whimpered, being a overly sized brown wolf with even darker, nearly black, speckles like his many freckles.

"Any more food?" Sasha poked her head out of the kitchen, her cheeks stuffed with bread and other foods. Armin shook her head and she sighed sadly, pushing a whole potato into her mouth. She fluttered into the living room and sat next to Connie, huddling all of Armin's food into her lap.

"Hanji said she and the others would be stopping by for a bit." Armin commented as Astro whined at the door, barking. Armin sighed, then someone knocked at the door.

"It's open!" Armin called. The door opened and Hanji and everyone else walked around the corner, Astro sticking close to Levi's side. "Like my outfit?" Hanji asked, twirling around in the dark robe she was wearing then tipping her large witch hat.

"I want a wizard outfit!" Connie cried, jumping up and pouting slightly. Jean pushed him back down into his seat. Petra was in the same form as Armin, but instead of blue, she got a brilliant orange. Erwin had the legs of a goat and two horns curling out of his head.

"I never expected that one." Connie snickered, looking at Erwin. Erwin only rolled his eyes, walking in and sitting on the couch awkwardly. "A Satyrs. Did not see that coming." Connie laughed once more.

"I know right? He seems like he would be part... Lion?" Jean shrugged. Erwin only crossed his legs, ignoring them.

"So, where's Eren?" Hanji asked, bouncing into the room. Everyone stiffened at the question, but Levi was the first to speak up.

"He's got some things going on. He won't be here today." Levi said, walking in and sitting down in a chair.

"How do you know?" Mikasa asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Because he told me. Last night." Levi said with a smirk, raising two thin eyebrows at her. She seemed to growl, moving to get up but Armin held her down.

"Let's not fight, yeah?" Armin offered, seeming a bit timid but demanding at the same time. Mikasa sighed, sitting back in her seat and settling for glaring at the demon across from her. "So, what do you all want to do?" Armin asked, noting that Astro seemed more calm next to Levi.

"Ooh! We should watch a movie!!" Hanji squealed, jumping up and throwing her hands in the air. They all debated between horror and comedy, settling on romance, and chose a movie. Once it was in, they all settled back and watched it. Most of the girls (minus MIkasa) aww'd at the cute parts while most of the guys (minus Armin and Maco) pulled disgusted faces at the ever so cheesy romance that had chosen.

"That was absolute crap!" Connie called once the movie was over. Petra and Hanji hissed at him to shut up as the credits and the ending song rolled. They both sang along, singing loudly and making Armin join them, to the end songs. "That was absolute crap!" Connie yelled once more once they had all stopped singing and the movie was fully over.

"Oh shut it, that was adorable." Petra pouted. Hanji hugged her as Connie rolled his eyes. Levi got up and put in an action movie and they all spent the day watching movies. They had stayed up into the wee hours of the morning and were about to sleep until Astro started barking wildly at the door, pawing at it and trying to get out.

What's going on? Why is Astro freaking out again? I guess you'll have to wait a while. But anyways, I hope you guys liked it and much Ereri love to you all and I love you guys!
