Dylan leads us through the trees until branches considerably interlock.

"Okay, I've never actually done this before, leading." the blond runs his hands through his hair.

"Oh well, we trust you. You've used this stuff more than we have." Durc smiles.

"The more we stand around the less time we have." Alexis muses.

"But if these things were the real deal they would move and you could be hit. I think we should be prepred for this." Gwen interjects.

"I agree with Gwen." I state.

"This reminds me of that scene where everybody just followed Jean." Ty' laughs.

"Well then let's just follow someone." Dylan suggests.

"Some leader." Cherry scoffs.

"Look!" Alissa beams.

"Follow them." Dylan whispers, lightly shoving me off the branch. I close my eyes and steer, hoping I don't hit anything.

"Durc, you too. It's like the Jean thing!" Ty' encourages.

"Oi, Annie Coy, look!" I hear the voice of my German friend, Durc Wolfgang.

"Hello Durc, I'm slightly preoccupied by being afraid to look."

"She's got control!" Dylan gasps.

"UP!" Alexis shouts. I pull my whole body up and soar upward. I open my eyes.

"THEY DO MOVE!" Gwen gasps.

"Annie Coy, you're doing amazingly, you killed a real one, this should be cake!" I am encouraged. I look and yelp, I'm high up.

"Take the plunge Annie Coy or I will." Durc prompts.

"You do it, I'm scared." I admit,

"Ha! Look! A lovers tiff!" Cyril from the USA laughs. "Oh shit! Hi guys!"

"Hi Cyril." I smile.

"OH SHIT!" Durc dives at the nape and hacks at it.

"You need a clean cut Durc Wolfgang." I swoop down and take out a piece.

"MOVE!" Alexis shouts. We jump and fire, rejoining Dylan and the main group on the tree branches. I stagger, feling woozy.

"You're okay Annie. Thank you. I just thought since we've got less experience with these things you should do it."

"It's not like it's a real titan Dylan." Ty' assures. "Let's move on."

"Right." he nods.

"What sort of formation?" Gwen asks.

"I suggest two seperate arrowheads of three." Durc pipes up. "Titans like to eat people, they go for large groups. Splinterring is a good idea."

"Okay Durc, you can have two of our commerades while Annie leads the next lot." Dylan decides.

"Tch, coward."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!! I'M NOT A COWARD ALEXIS THAT'S NO FAIR!" Dylan flails his arms around. He's in the middle of a sulk worthy of Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club.

"Someone's due on their man period." Gwen states.

"I'll take Gwen and Alexis, Annie Coy, you're in charge of Tamaki and Ty'." I guess Durc too got the Ouran reference.

"Dude, you watched Ouran?" Ty's eyes widen as if they're about to fall from their socets.

"Bye Durc Wolfgang!" I wave, hating that now I'm to be in the position of power.
