*First perosn pov*

"You should be able to do it if you stick to the basics. You needn't try anything fancy." Mikasa advises Eren, who was strapped up. It was after training hours, me, Mikasa, and Armin were helping Eren with his situation. Jean was here too, but he wasn't helping. He was just watching from a nice distance, I guess making sure I don't hurt. Waaaaay to overprotective as you see. Oh! And also my forehead has been healed. It's strange, it shouldn't have healed that fast. What if I'm a titan shifter *le gasp*. Hehe, that'll never happen. "Just don't lean forward or back, and gently put your weight on your waist and hip harness." I add, as I check the pulley thing. "Just relax. You can so this. Even I managed it." Armin reassures. "Okay. I'm sure I can do this this time. Take me up, Armin." Eren said, looking at Armin. "Okay." Armin said. "Whoah, wait! Sorry if I'm belittling your strength Eren, but I don't think you got this quite just yet. I'm going to have to hold your hips as you go up, so you can have the feel of the balance and don't fall right off the bat. Then, I'm going to let go so you can take it from there. I'm sorry if you feel uncomfortable about this, but this is what we have to do to keep you from going to the landfills." I said as I hold his hips as a little blush forms on my face. Mikasa glares at me, but doesn't make a move t do anything. Same with Jean, he glares at Eren but didn't do nothing. "Take him up slowly, Armin. You can do that, right?" I asked him. "I got this." Armin said as he grabs the lever and pulls it. I creaking noise resonates and the ropes tighten as Eren gets lifted off the ground. I tighten my grip on his waist so he doesn't fall and hold him steady. Afer he got a two feet above the ground, Eren told me to let him go. I trusted that he got this and let go. Eren stayed in the air for a couple of second before falling and hitting his head. His eyes roll back into his head, knocked out. "Eren!! Get a hold of yourself!!" I shout as I run to his side. "Eren!!" Mikasa yells as she picks Eren up. Armin let's Eren down while I unhooked him. "Is Eren okay?" Armin yells as he picked Eren up too. There were tears in his eyes. "He's knocked out but he'll live. We need tot take him to the infirmary." I said as I looked at the wound on his head. "No you're not." I heard a voice said as I get picked up and slung over a shoulder. "I'm sure you can take that dork to the infirmary yourselves. I'll be taking Basil." I recognized the voice to be Jean. Jean turns around so I saw the trio walk away. "Jean! What was that for?! Let me down!!" I shout as I pound on his back. "No. You spend so much time with that asshole, leaving me no time with you. Is it a crime to spend time with your sister?" Jean asked me. "That's probably the most cutest thing that ever came out of your mouth." I said and Jean blushes. "S-Shut up... I just care for my sister." Jean said as he puts me down. We walk into the mess hall and grabbed our food. Marco sat across from us. "Hey, I don't think we met formally. My name is Marco Bodt, a friend of your adoptive brother, Jean." Marco said, smiling. "My name is Basillisk Andrea, but please call me Basil." I said smiling back. "Hey, did you guys hear?" Jean asked us. "What?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. "You don't know? The commanders found our supply potatoes with two punctured holes in them. Someone or something is biting them. They weren't eating them, but just biting. They were still good to eat, but still. It's creepy." Marco whispered. "Yeah. I call it Quis est Istic. It's Latin for the potato biter." Jean said. I was struggling so hard not to laugh, I was literally shaking. If you don't remember, there is wifi here for some reason. But, I had to charge my phone to keep it alive. And lucky for me, I was carrying my charger with me when I got sent into this world. So I researched on how to charge my phone without using a power outlet. Apparently, you can use potatoes and there is a bunch here. So I snuck into the pantry at night and plugged my phone into the potatoes, charging the phone. I had to use more than one potato since one potatoes charges only 15%. Most of the potatoes looked like a vampire bit on it and left. "A-Are yo-you s-sure it's n-not s-some ki-kind o-of de-defect when th-the potato was be-be-being g-grown?" I said, struggling not to laugh in between every word. "That many potatoes? I don't think so." Jean said, drinking his water. "Jean, I think we should stop talking about this. Basil is shaking in fear." Marco whispered to Jean. I tried my hardest not to laugh. So hard, I almost puked. I heard the bell rang, signaling us to go to our barracks and sleep. I clean up my half eaten horrible tasting soup and stale bread up. Sasha looked at my food and I sighed. I gave it to her and she squealed in delight. "Thank you thank you thank you!!" Sasha shouts as she scarfs down the food. I walked out and into my room. I take off my clothes and put on my night clothes. I get into my bed and fall asleep.

Time skip~

I watch as all the trainees that failed thr day before get their second chances at being a solider. Some failed and were told to pack their things and go to the landfills, some made it and stayed. But, most of them left. The last one was Eren. Eren walks by me. "Good luck." I whispered to him and he nods. Eren sweats as he gets hooked up. "Eren Jeager. Are you prepared?" Shadis asked Eren calmly. "Yes!" Eren shouts as he nodded his head. "Begin!" Shadis yells and Thomas starts to wind up the pulley. Eren gets lifted off of the ground. Eren shakes a little and he puts his arms out to maintain balance. "YOU DID IT EREN!!!" I shout happily while other people cheered. Jean, who was standing next to me, scowled. Eren shakes a little, smiling. Just then, he fell backwards. "I can still- I can still do it!!" Eren shouts as he tries to pull himself back up. The trainees send him looks of sympathy as the cheers die down. Jean smirks and I elbow him in the gut, earning a satisfying 'ow' from him. "Let him down." Shadis said and Thomas does so. Eren gets unhooked and he falls to his hands and knees. He sits back up, tears in his eyes and utterly broken. "I-I..." Eren stutters. Shadis turns to Thomas. "Wagner, switch belts with Jeager." Shadis commands. "Y-Yessir!!" Thomas said as he does so. Eren was lifted back up in the air. He was shaking little to none. "Your equipment was defective. The fittings on the belt were damaged. I didn't even know that could happen, but I suppose I need to add them to the maintenance list." Shadis said, examining the broken gear. "WOOO!!! YOU DID IT JEAGERBOMBASTIC!!!" I cheer as the trainees whisper amongst themselves on how Eren stayed up on faulty gear. "Th-Then what about my aptitude assessment?" Eren asked Shadis. "No problems. Do your best in training!!" Shadis announces. Eren pumps both fists in the air. Eren looks at Mikasa and me. He looked at me as if were saying 'did you see that?' And Mikasa was 'you don't need to baby me anymore!' I give Eren a thumbs up and he returns the gesture. We smile at each other. You did it Eren... I'm so proud.
