The rooster crowed once, twice, before Jean chucked one of Sasha's homemade rolls at it. Geez, for someone who loved food, she was a terrible cook. That roll had been sitting there all night, since she brought him supper after he vomited out the window…on top of Jaeger's head. That wasn't a pleasant experience for either party. The rooster hadn't helped his headache much, but the nausea had subsided. Throwing on his uniform, he trudged toward the kitchen. Maybe Christa made breakfast today. He wouldn't break his teeth on any more rolls.

To his shock, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. A glorious array of meat and baked goods had Braus stuffing her face and weeping against the table. Everyone else was laughing and tossing food onto their plates. It was the happiest he'd seen them in a long time. Marco looked over and grinned.

"Hey Jean! Come have a seat!" he said, handing him a meat pie. As soon as Jean bit into it, buttery crust and savory meat overloaded his tastebuds. No wonder Braus was crying against the table.

"This….This is amazing!" he exclaimed. "Who made this?!"

Everyone looked around and shrugged. "We're not sure," Arlert explained, "It was all here when we came to breakfast."

However, one person in their party looked extremely guilty. Jean stared at him for a minute or two before he whispered his name. Could it really have been him who made this delicious meal?

"Braun?"

Reiner Braun stood up, face flushed. Everyone, slackjawed, stared at him. Braun, one of the burliest guys in the 104th regiment, made this delicious meal?

Jean was shocked, but it was nothing compared to when Braun opened his mouth and…

Began to sing:

You can bet there's nothing but Titan flesh

When I am in the zone and on a roll

But I've got a confession my own secret obsession

And it's making me lose control-

"I love to bake," he finished.

"And sing too, apparently," Jean said, "Why did you just sing it? You could have just told us."

To his utter amazement (apparently this was a morning of surprises) everyone stared at him.

"Jean, what are you talking about?" Jaeger asked. "Reiner didn't sing anything."

Incredulous, Jean snapped at him. "What are you talking about? He just sang that whole thing? And what "zone" are you talking about anyway?"

Everyone glanced nervously at each other. "Jean, are you okay?" Christa asked. "Maybe you're still not feeling well."

"I'm fine," he growled. Inside though, Jean was panicking just a little bit. He heard about trainees slowly losing it, the stress being too much for them. Maybe that's what was happening to him. "I just need to get some fresh air, is all."

Before anyone could say anything else, he strode off. The quiet stroll made him less tense. Maybe he still wasn't feeling well. That was it. His ears were probably clogged or something. No big deal. He would just go to the infirmary later and have them look at him. Thankfully this was their one free day, and he could just recoup and be ready for tomorrow.

As he turned the corner, he caught a glimpse of Arlert and Leonhardt chatting underneath a willow. For the first time (shocks galore for Jean today) he saw Annie almost smiling. Almost smiling. What kind of weird voodoo was Arlert pulling? As he was talking to Leonhardt, Arlert was flushing, his skin glowing a deeper and deeper red. Jean thought he was about to be sick until he burst out:

"Annie!"

Annie glanced up at him, eyebrow raised in suspicion. "What is it, Arlert?"

Arlert took a deep breath and then—

No. Oh nononononononono.

He began to sing.

"Our planet is poison, the titans, the air

Around and beneath and above you."

Leonhardt stared at him. This time Jean really thought Arlert was going to be sick.

"I'm trying to tell you I love you."

Shocks galore! Jean's and Leonhardt's jaws both dropped to the ground. For the first time, she didn't have that cool, calm demeanor. Her face was pure incredulousness.

"What?" she whispered. Suddenly, unlike anything Jean had ever seen before, Arlert stood up, gazing at Leonhardt. There was a power in his stance that overtook Jean completely. He was sure that if Arlert were to face any Titans now, humanity would tear down the walls in hours.

"The world is at war

Filled with death and disease,

We dance on the edge of destruction.

The world's getting smaller by deadly degrees."

"And this is one messed up seduction."

Now Leonhardt started singing (a lovely soprano, oddly enough). At that point, Jean didn't care. He could handle Braun belting out and baking, he could handle Arlert's odd taste in women and serenading, but Leonhardt was just too much. Screaming out in aggravation, Jean ran away from the now embarrassed Arlert. He ran til his legs couldn't carry him anymore. Somewhere in the woods he didn't know. None of the trees looked familiar to him. He stopped to catch his breath, repeating his mantra 'I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell' over and over and over in his head.

"Mikasa, help us! Please!"

Apparently he wasn't alone. Glancing from behind the tree, he saw Springer, Jaeger, Hoover, Braus, and Mikasa all equipped with 3d maneuvering gear. This was safe. There is no way anyone could sing about a little extra training.

"Mikasa, you're going to be the top of the class," Springer begged, "You've got to teach us how to be as good as you."

Hoover nodded, "I, for one, would like to live as long as possible, and that means being as good as possible."

Mikasa stared at all of them, a blank look on her face. It was strange that some of the best trainees were begging Mikasa for lessons, but she was the best of the best. Plus, depending on where they were going, they would need all the skills they could get. Nevertheless, it was still too odd to Jean.

Finally, Mikasa nodded, a look of scorn overcoming her features. She tossed one of her blades in between Springer and Braus, causing them both to scream and dive away. The sword flew through the air and sunk into the tree behind them. Eyes wide, faces pale, everyone turned to stare at the most feared soldier in the 104th trainee squad.

"Let's get down to business—"

Awwwww, heck no.

"To defeat the titans.

Not Mikasa

Did they send me daughters

When I asked for sons.

Jean could feel himself on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

You're the saddest bunch I ever met.

But you can bet before we're through

Somehow I'll make a man out of you."

And he flew right off that edge into a deep, deep cavern of crazy. The strain was too much for him, and almost immediately he passed out from the sheer shock of Mikasa's singing.

[agonizing commercial break]

"Jean? Jean? Hey, Jean, wake up!"

Jean groaned, eyes fluttering open. "Wh….what happened?" he muttered. A good portion of the 104th trainee squad stood around him. Marco sat next to him, concerned etched on his features.

"You've been asleep all day," Marco said, "Lucky for you this was an off day, otherwise your butt would be in huge trouble." Jean blinked.

"So…no one was singing?" Marco stared at him, puzzled.

"Everyone…was singing. Even Ackerman was singing…"

Marco burst into gales of laughter, gasping at the insulted look on Jean's face.

"Jean," he chuckled, "Man, you must've had some really funky dream. Hurry on downstairs, Reiner's making dinner. Ooohhhh man, Ackerman singing…that's funny," he giggled. "Anyways, I'll meet you downstairs. Just hurry up and come eat."

Relief flooded Jean's features as Marco walked away. A dream? Thank goodness! Although, to be honest, he was hoping that part about Reiner being a great cook wasn't. Throwing on some casual clothes, he didn't even notice Arlert and Leonhardt kissing behind a barely open door, or Annie's soft soprano and Armin's gentle tenor flitting down the hall after him.

"Every moment as long as you're mine

I'll wake up my body and make up for lost time.

Say there's no future for us as a pair

And though I may know, I don't care.

Just for this moment as long as you're mine

Come be how you want to and see how bright we shine

Borrow the moonlight until it is through

And know I'll be here holding you as long as you're mine…"
