[Ruby's/ Readers POV]

In the morning I brushed my very tangled long hair, brushed my teeth, and put on some casual cloths then went down stairs, only to find everyone crowded around a table, when suddenly I heard a familiar voice

"Look! Ruby's awake!" It shouts when suddenly a little girl with curly blonde hair runs up to me and hugs me, I smile

"Hi Cassey. Its good to see you again." I greet all smiles

"If your wondering how she got here, you can look at us for that." I look back up and see Zane, Lin, Cassey's twin brother, and the balance brothers (A/n: yeah I know that name is cheesy but if you have a better name I could use than comment and give me a name.)

"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" I ask

"We wanted to check out where our friend lives, so we know she'll be safe." Answered Leon one of the balance brothers

"Yeah right you expect me to believe that? Heh." I laugh they all look at me confused

"What do you mean?" Lin asked, but before I could answer Armin cut in

"Well, we have an expedition coming up in a couple of days and its in wall Maria, plus she joined the survey corps." My circus all looked at me wide eyed with horror

"What? You didn't think tell us about this?" Lin snapped

"Well I was going to, but then some certain people charged in when they had good reason too." I defend glaring at the rest

"Yeah, but still.... you'd die out there." Zane said, I was slightly offended by that comment

"Why do think I'm gonna die, is it because I'm small?" I ask, but before Zane can fire back, I see Lin smile slyly

"No, its because he loves you." She teased, Zane's cheeks tinted red
"Lin!!!" He yelled, but Lin wasn't done

"Yeah he has since we were kids actually." She continued

Zane's cheeks turned a deeper red "Lin shut up!" He yelled, but Lin kept on pushing it

"And when I told him what you told me on the tight rope he couldn't have been more relieved, heh." She laughed, now my cheeks were tinted a slight shade of pink but I hid it well unlike Zane who's cheeks were now a dark crimson color

"What exactly were you guys talking about on the tight rope?" Hanji asked with a devious smile, but before she could answer I quickly cover Lin's mouth

"Lin I swear to god, you tell any of them or anyone else I will tell them about the Incident." I snap, she looks at me with horror

"Yo....you wouldn't." She stammers

"Try me." I say stepping away from her

"What's the Incident?" Hanji asked, I look at Lin

"It depends, you still telling Lin?" I question, Lin shakes her head

"No." She gets out

"Then sorry Hanji I can't tell you." I say looking at Lin, Hanji looked down disappointed

"Hey can you by chance do any of your old tricks?" Jean asks, my cheeks tint red but I quickly hide it and glare at Jean

"No." I answer

"Aww why not?" Jean whined, though there was smirk on his face

"Well for starters.... One we don't have a tight rope and two I don't really want to any of my old tricks." I explained

"But why?" He asked

"Cause I just don't OK!." I almost shout, when Lin get a wide grin on her face

"Oh, I get it, she's afraid that were gonna make her do the old a cappella tricks." She points out, she figured me out. Every one in the room but my fellow circus friend looked at each other with confusion.

"What's 'A cappella'?" Eren asked, I turned away

"A cappella means (With reference to choral music) with out instrumental accompaniment." I explain everyone looks at me weirdly

"What does that mean?" Jean asked

"It means, in simple terms, its making music but with out using instruments, you just use your voices to make the music." I explained simply, everyone nodded

"How can you do that?" Armin asks, but before I can answer

"Why don't you show us." Jean teases, I spin around to face him

"Sorry to disappoint but I haven't sung in 5 years so uh.... No." I reply, Jean opens his mouth to say, but beat him to it "Now if you don't mind I'm going to go eat something." As I begin to walk away, I hear the balance brothers and Zane start to sing

(OK to know what song to listen to the song above or if you don't like this version look up the original version by PTX)

[Levi's POV]

She smiled and rolled her eyes as she to joined in, we all stood there in shock as we heard all five of them use their voices to created a beautiful song, but you could barely hear Ruby's voice in the mix
