Two days had passed and no one else had shown up. Hanji has been a little down lately since we discovered titans didn't exist here. Moblit stood by her side and attempted to comfort her no matter what sort of mood she was in.

I totally ship it.

We treated the titan trio as we would any strangers. One actually broke down crying tears of joy once we told them we were in a completely different world without titans and no one to control them. I've never seen them happier, but it will be hard to forgive them.

Oh, and the house has never been cleaner thanks to a certain Corporal. It's almost as if he has nothing else to do.

I decided we would take a break from watching their anime. Right now, the memories still hurt all of us, but maybe after the wounds of the past have been healed the show would just seem like a bad dream.

Monday rolled around and I had to get ready for school. Yuck.

"What's school?" Eren asked as I packed my backpack and made sure all my homework was there.

"It's like training... But you learn useless stuff. Like math, science, English, and history for example," I responded.

"Do you have to go?" He pouted.

"Yes, Eren. I do," I sighed.

"Can we come with you?" Jean chimed in.

My eyes brightened and I jumped from where I was kneeling on the floor.

"That's a fantastic idea, Horseface! I'll see what I can do to get you all enrolled!"

He glared at the nickname, but seemed genuinely interested.

"Mom!" I called.

"What is it, sweetheart?" My mom said just as she was about to go out the door for work.

"Can we enroll all of them in school? They could be like my own personal bodyguards!"

"That sounds like a great idea, but they don't have parents or legal documents."

"Well, you could act as their adoptive or foster parents and I can forge some documents online."

"Isn't that illegal?"

"Yes. Yes it is."

"Well... Okay. Just don't get the rest of us in trouble."

Yes!!! "Thanks mom." I ran over and hugged her.

Well, let's get them signed up.
