…

After saying goodbye I head outside where Odin was waiting beside the boxes I'm supposed to deliver

"Alright boy" I pat his belly

"Arf!" he barks

After a few minutes I managed to fit all the boxes on the large saddle like thing I made for him and soon we were on our way

"Alright, down boy" I say before hopping off his back

"Hey Kara, did you bring the shoes?" I hear Van the newest Survey recruit ask

"Yeah" I hand him a box

I take two boxes before following him inside

"Great. Thanks again for fixing my ODM gear" he says as we carry them inside

"Yeah man, it's no problem" I set the boxes down

"Haha as if!" I hear Hange

"Aye come help us, weirdo" I huff

"Whua?!" She turns around

"Oh… uhh I'm a little busy" she lies before shutting her door

"Kara" I hear captain Erwin

"Oh wassup captain" I huff

"It's Commander now. Now, have you given my offer any thought?" he asks

"Oh… uhh yeah" I say

He had offered to name me squad captain if I join the scouts but I haven't been able to talk it over with Dr. Yeagar yet

"So what are your thoughts?" He asks

"Man I don't know" I sigh "to be honest I like this peace and quiet I'd like to enjoy it a while longer before I get back in the action"

"Ah yes I see" he sighs "well that's alright you've got Krista to worry about I'm sure y-"

"Oh yes you do!" Hange cuts him off

"Hey Kara" she jumps in my face "can I be there to see your first born?!"

"Wh-what?" I back off

"Gosh I wonder what your child will look like!" She shouts "will it have a tail and be covered in fur like daddy? Or like blonde fur like mommy?! Oh man what if it just has a tail and no fur?" She goes on

Krista and I aren't really a thing we've just made sure we're there for eachother since we only know what we had to go through

"W-well guess I should get going" I back out

"Yeah see you around Kara" I shake Erwins hand "remember that offer will always be open for you"

"Right, thanks again" I say before getting out of there with Odin

"Man what a weirdo, huh Odin?" I sigh

"Arf" he barks

"For real she won't shut up" I sigh

After running a few more errands I was heading to inner Wall Maria for our dinner when I ran into Hannes and his chumps

"Give me that shit" I snatch his friends bottle

"Hey, give that back!" He shouts

"No, you're always out here drinking in front of these kids"

It's their fault that idiot kid wants to become a scout

Eren is always talking about how the Garrison are a bunch of cowards and he'd show them up once he becomes a scout

"Easy there Kara we were just having a little fun" Hannes shrugs

"There's a time and place for this, alright? You get it, you're not stupid Hannes" I step up

"Yeah-yeah, I know" he sighs

"Do you? Then tell your goons to get their shit straight before I lay them out"

"Goons?!" His buddy stands up

"You'll lay out what?!" Another gets defensive

"You, bitch!"

"You better watch who you're speaking to, stupid monkey!" He draws his blade

"Monkey?!" I growl

"Easy Kara you know he didn't mean it" Hannes holds his hands out

I kick Hannes aside before his boozed up buddy takes his head off

"Dammit Kara!" Hanes grumbles as he falls on his ass

The chump swings his sword straight down but I step aside and I smash his head with the bottle knocking him on his face

His other buddy charges at me swinging

I step side to side before I grab the back of his head and I smash it into the wooden fence

"Dammit Kara! Now I have to arrest you!" Hannes shouts as he tries waking his buddy

"Kehehe" I giggle "c'mon man you saw, it was self defense" I shrug

"You're always doing this. Always starting something!" Hannes growls

"Maybe next time you should watch your booze." I shrug

"Kara, there you are. We're waiting on you." I hear Erwin

"Take your complaints to the survey corps, Hannes. We'll take care of him"

"Fine whatever, just get the hell out of here!" He growls

"Sure thing, see you around." I wave before joining Erwin

"Instigating again, are you?" He asks

"Just bored I guess" I shrug

"If you're that bored then you should join us. We're going to scout the lands off Karanes district"

"Really? God, that's sounds fun" I sigh

"What's holding you back from joining us, Kara. Don't say Krista, I see you talking to different women every time I bat an eye"

"Hey man, give me a break. Krista is a complicated chick" I sigh

I feel like she'd be more of a long term thing and I don't think I'm ready for that kind of responsibility

"I'm just saying, the more you wait the more 'fun' you'll be missing out on"

"Mannn," I sigh, he's really pushing it this time

Now I'm really itching to go

He stops at a carriage after throwing his things inside

"Fine, how about you sleep on it?" He pulls out a box "This is yours to keep, I had one made for you just in case I manage to change your mind"

"Whoa is this?" I open the box

Hey it is

"Three dimensional gear, this is sick" I examine the tanks

"It's licensed to your name and everything" he adds

"Wait I don't even know how to use it"

"I'm sure you'll figure it out"

"Heh" I smile

"Alright, if you find yourself in any trouble again have them file a report to the Survey Corps, Van is staying behind with his fiancé to care for the horses"

"Fiancé? You're joking right? The kid is only 15"

"Last night during the campfire, I told you to come around"

"You didn't say anything about- Man. I would've dropped by." I strap the box to Odin's side

"It was a surprise to all of us, what can I say?" he shrugs

"Was it?" I nod "I got one question for you though" I say as he got into the carriage

I hop onto the carriage stepping stone just before he'd pull off

"What?" He asks

"Who's that over there?" I ask

He peeks his head out the window just as the chick behind him got into her own carriage

He smiles

"Petra. Petra Rall, an elite fresh out of training" he says

"Elite, huh?" I nod

"She's got that carriage all to herself, she can use some company" he says

"Is that right, old man?" I nod

He wants me this bad, huh

"Why don't you get on your knees and beg already" I pull Odin back

"Never gonna happen" he chuckles as his ride began moving

He sticks his hand out the window and I wave goodbye

I hop onto the box that had my ODM gear and Odin rides near the carriage beside Petra

She was in the midst at pulling her hair into a bun

"Elite fresh outta training, huh?"

She turns around to see who was at her window

"Petra Rall" I smile as I lean onto the carriage

"Oh.. You must be Kara" she checks Odin out behind me

"Yeah, Amaterasu Kara." I shake her soft and fragile hand

"I've heard a lot about you" she smiles

"I'm sure you have"

"So, you're here bothering me. I take it you turned down the Commander's offer?" She asks

"I'm a busy man, gotta a family to care for" I shrug

"That right? You're not scared are you?" She sits her elbow on the window and rests her chin on her hand

"They'll just about call anybody elite nowadays, how 'scary' could it be?"

"Anybody, huh?"

"Yeah, anybody." I smile

"Oh yeah? I knocked my drill Sergeant on his ass"

"Pft* you can't last five minutes with me" I shrug

"Five minutes?" She giggles "that supposed to be impressive?"

"What, you think you can do any better?"

She smiles widely

I look over my shoulder as she backed off the window

After making sure nobody was looking I hop right in

"You only have five minutes?" She asks as I quickly pull my shirt over my head and she began unbuttoning hers

"Ten" I shove my lips onto hers

She grabs the back of my head making sure I don't pull away

The carriage jumps suddenly and pulls us apart

"Get down" I huff

"R-right"

…

-1 hour later-

"Damn it" I hurry for my clothes

I step over Petra who was trembling on the ground and I grab my shirt

I pull my shirt down as I manage to pull my joggers up with my tail

I throw Petra's cloak over her naked body before kissing her goodbye and joining Odin outside

"Hey boy" I pat his back

I let it drag on for too long

"What should we have for dinner?" I ask Odin

"Mmgh" he whines

"Chicken?" I ask "yeah, I want that" I giggle

Man I love chicken

"Hey let's go back to Shiganshina"

Thanks to Odin we managed to do so in just under 10 minutes

We were heading for Karaness, if she lasted another hour or so Erwin would've gotten what he wanted

But no, not today

Now..

There's an old man just past that wall that sells the fattest chickens

"C'mon boy" I pat his side getting him to jog a little faster

Everyone opens way trying not to get stomped on by Odin as we made our way

After another 30 minutes we arrived at the farm

"Hmm those four right there" I point at the four that were happily chasing each other

"Okay" he catches them all with a net

"Alright" I snap their necks before throwing three of them onto Odin's back and feeding the fourth to Odin

"Just give me 40 coins" he says

"40 right?" I ask as I hand him 50, hoping that was enough

"Perfect" he smiles

I hop on Odin

"Thanks" he blows before I go on my way

"Man how tasty, huh?" I giggle excitedly

I'd eat one as it is now

But they taste super good the way Carla cooks them

"C'mon boy" I pat his side and he begins jogging back towards wall Maria before we had to wait in line again

"Alright" they hand my ID back before there was a massive explosion

Everyone around instinctively duck their heads

"Wh-what was-" before the guy could finish there was a huge shockwave accompanied with a loud bang that I could feel in my chest

There was panic shouting and screaming as everyone came flooding into the inner wall

"What is it?!" I shout as Odin carefully pushes through the crowd

"Th-the outer wall… it.. " a soldier who was bleeding from his forehead stops

"Titans have breached Wall Maria"
