Sgt. Ludwig slashed his whip with intense force.
"Let's get down to business." He walked down the line of army forces, examining each soldier. He stopped when he notices a girl in the middle of the line of men. "Did they really send me daughters?" he hissed, glaring at you, "I asked for sons." He finished his examination of the line. "You bunch are sad" he shaked his head in disapproval. "When we are through, you'll all be men."
He slashed his whip again; then he pointed at a scrawny pale guy. "Y-yes Ludwig?" Ludwig glared at him "That's Sgt. Ludwig to you!" he growled. The Sgt. turned around, with his back facing toward all of you "A spineless and pathetic lot" he shook his head again, "You are all in for it."
The scrawny guy who was just picked on by the Sgt. leaned toward you and cupped his mouth to your ear
"Vee, this guy is crazy! By the way my name is Feliciano"
"Kesesese! Of course he is! that's my brother you know" You and Feliciano turned your heads to the raspy albino. Before you questioned him he interrupted you. "Call me Gilbert." Before you knew it, the whole line introduced themselves to you. The really tall one was Ivan, the one with glasses was Alfred and the asian was Kiku.
"All of you! I did not allow you to talk!" Sgt. Ludwig howled. You all straightened up right away. You stared at the Sgt. 'he's pretty hot...' you thought to yourself 'even when he is angry.' "15 laps!" he ordered the soldiers. You all dashed quickly, not wanted to angry him anymore than you did. 5th lap in you started to stumble, sweat dropped down your forehead and you breathed heavily. "I'm never gonna catch my breath" the american gasped. "Say goodbye to those who knew me!" the albino groaned. "I'm fool who cut gym in school! the italian whimpered. "This guy's got 'em scared to death!" Kiku looked back at the slower soldiers behind him, including you. You turned to see Sgt. Ludwig staring at all of you, you could see by his expression that he wasn't happy. You jerked up once you noticed he was staring directly at you. Yes, you started to have a little crush on him "Hope he doesn't see
right through me..." A loud splash interrupted your thoughts. You saw that Ivan tripped into the river you were running by "I really wish I knew how to swim!" he splashed around.
Once you all finished the laps, you collapsed on the ground, catching up to the others. The Sgt. stood impatiently "You all must be swift as the coursing river" he lectured, "with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire and mysterious as the dark side of the moon." His deep blue eyes locked with your eyes "You're unsuited for
the rage of war. Pack up, go home, you're through." With that, he walked away. Your newly made friends looked at you in dismay. You slowly got up, with your head dropping, you walked away also.
'I'm not going to give up' you thought to yourself 'I did not go through all this training just to be kicked out!' The next day, you appeared in training right before they started doing laps again. Before Ludwig sent them off, he noticed you in the group, his expression showed confusion. He ignored you and then you all off. You finished first in your group, and gasped for breath while you rested your hands on your knees. Ludwig walked up to you with a blank face until the rest appeared. "Take the rest of the day off" he ordered. Relief spread through the faces of your friends as they happily trotted off. This time the Sgt. stood right in front of you, you looked up and saw a smile appear on his face. "I knew you could do it." He leaned down and pressed his lips against yours.
