A/N: I wrote this throughout the month, one chapter a day, but decided not to post it until now in case I was unable to finish it. A few chapters are really short because I did not have much free time several days this month. Some chapters will focus on only a few characters, while others will include a lot of characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin, or any references to anything else.
Day 1: Isabel
Isabel smiled as she woke up and saw snow falling outside her window. She hopped out of bed and ran to the window, excitement filling her as the thought of playing in the snow entered her mind. She grabbed her jacket and mittens before racing out of her room to locate some of her friends. When she found Levi and Farlan in the Mess Hall, eating breakfast, she immediately began trying to convince them to have a snowball fight.
"No." Levi stated, not interested in being pelted with snow so early in the morning.
"Aww, come on! Please?" Isabel pouted.
"No." repeated Levi.
Isabel huffed before sitting beside Farlan. "It's snowing! It's the perfect time for a snowball fight!"
"Maybe later." Levi suggested, hoping she'd forget all about it.
"Soooo... in a few hours?" Isabel questioned. "Will it still be snowing then?"
Farlan sighed. "Isabel, just come up with a different idea."
Isabel frowned thoughtfully. Just when Levi was beginning to hope she had given up and would not bother him with any more crazy schemes, her eyes lit up. "I got it! We'll get the Christmas tree!"
"'We'll'?" Levi asked.
"Yep! Someone has to carry it back here!" Isabel said happily.
"Can't someone else-"
"No!" Isabel cut him off. "You're coming, Levi. You too, Farlan." With that, she began dragging both of them out of the Mess Hall. Eventually they gave up and decided to go along with it. After all, how long could it take?
Two hours later, Isabel was still searching for the 'perfect' tree.
"Isabel," Farlan said, "How about this one?"
"It's too tall, unfortunately. It won't fit through the door." Isabel stated before rushing over to another group of trees.
Levi sighed. "We should have just agreed to the snowball fight."
"Yeah. She would have gotten tired of it by now." Farlan agreed.
"I found it~!" Isabel sang as she ran back over to them. "Come on, slowpokes! Someone has to carry it back."
"No." Levi deadpanned when Isabel looked at him.
Undaunted, she turned to Farlan. "Please?"
Farlan did not want to carry the heavy looking tree all the way back. However, he just couldn't say no, and besides, he'd already spent two hours freezing. If he didn't agree, she'd probably go back to the snowball fight idea. "Fine."
The walk back was a bit slower, since Farlan was carrying the heavy tree, but Isabel was cheerful the entire time. Throughout the trip she hummed and occasionally ran ahead before rejoining her friends a few minutes later. When they eventually reached their destination, Farlan was exhausted and Levi appeared annoyed at the trail of pine needles falling off of the tree.
"Tell me we aren't taking this inside. It'll make such a mess-" Levi began.
"Come on," Isabel pleaded, "Please?"
Levi sighed but agreed, and soon the trio was attempting to push the tree through the door - it was slightly wider than the doorway - and eventually succeeded. While Isabel cheered and started to set the tree up, Farlan and Levi began cleaning up the trail of pine needles.
