"Cousins?" a new recruit asked, looking slightly disappointed.

"Yeah. What's the long face for?" her friend asked.

"I really wanted them to become lovers or something."

"That would never happen even if they weren't related." a veteran soldier chirped, joining the conversation.

"Really, why not?"

"They hated each other at first." the member informed them.

"Did they really?"

"The first time they met, she called him an irksome shortie and then said she was going to kick his ass. To his face." she said.

"Do they still hate each other?"

"Not as much as back then."

"Who are you?"

"Lance Corporal Sasha Braus."

"I'm Jada Amsterdam." the first girl said.

"Lucy Swift." the other one said, "And I guess we're both Cadets."

"So, what branch are you going to join?" Sasha asked.

"We're trying to decide between the Garrison and the Scouting Legion." Jada said.

"I'm supposed to recommend the Scouting Legion to you both, but the choice is yours. Just go with whichever branch you like best." Sasha grinned at them.

"Braus! Get your ass over here before I set it on fire!" a man yelled at her.

"Whoops, that's me. Good luck on choosing the corps to join." Sasha waved as she left.

"I know branch I want to join!" they told each other at the same time, before laughing.


When Sasha looked out into the handful of new recruits from her spot with Squad Levi, she saw two familiar faces among them. She sincerely hoped they wouldn't die on their first expedition, as Cadets Amsterdam and Swift were saluted in as brand new cadets of the Survey Corps.
