Chapter 1: Meeting
"That's a stupid book, nerd!" A group of bullies were surrounding Armin, who was trembling in fear.
Sakura couldn't simply just watch as these bullies pushed him around. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. "Stop! Don't hurt him! He's my friend!" The bullies, recognizing her, backed off immediately. They knew that if they hurt her, not only would they be hated by everyone else, but Eren would also get angry and hurt them.
Sakura was successfully able to rescue Armin. She gazed at him worriedly. "I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried about you!" She was on the verge of tears.
She broke into tears of relief when Armin hugged her. "Thank you for saving me," he cried with tears of gratitude.
"You're welcome," she replied with a gentle smile. "It's because you're my precious friend."
Sakura, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin started chatting about their future. They really wanted to see the sea beyond the walls. They dreamed about the seashells they could gather. Their wonderful reverie was broken by the sudden screaming.
"What is that thing?" a woman screamed in fear.
Sakura finally saw the thing the woman was referring to. It was a scary colossal giant. The giant then kicked down the wall. She looked back at her friends. Armin was cowering in fear. Eren and Mikasa looked startled.
"It's okay, don't worry! We will be safe! I will protect you no matter what. I won't let anything happen to my beloved friends."
As a group, they ran back to their house only to see the giant eat Eren's mom. Frightened, they froze in fear. Sakura knew that if she didn't do anything, her friends would be in grave danger. On alert, she called for help. Mr. Hannes heard the cry for help and showed up to rescue them.
As Hannes carries them to safety, Sakura overheard Eren vote revenge.
In a boat, Mikasa told them, "good thing you called for help. Thanks for saving us."
Sakura, however, was more concerned about Eren. "Eren, no, you can't seek revenge! Your anger will only make things worse!"
"You don't understand! They killed my mother!"
Sakura stared sadly at Eren. She was sad because she could not talk him out of his anger. She knew that his anger could only lead to his own destruction.
Sakura, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin were gathered outside the military recruitment.
A loud voice sounding Sakura's recruitment boomed, "Sakura Alice Mirai, please come forward."
She stepped forward. Behind her, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin smiled at her encouragingly. She smiled back and then faced forward.
The enlister have gave her her uniform. "Training is at 5 AM sharp every morning. You cannot be late!"
"Yes, sir! I am Sakura Alice Mirai from Shiganshina District. I am ready. I will not let you down," she promised.
Then Eren, Mikasa, and Armin stepped behind her. They, too, had been enlisted. "I'm so glad we can be able to fight together!" she beamed.
Then Sakura turned and saw a lonely girl standing monotonously, alone by herself in solitude. The girl's long blonde hair was tied up in high pigtails (A/N: Like Utau from Shugo Chara!) Her grey eyes were downcast as she stared at the ground pensively, as if deep in thought. She was wearing a grey buttoned-up dress shirt with a black ribbon around her collar. Her skirt was black with a white hem. It reached just above her knees. She was also wearing black mid-calf boots with three-inch heels. She left Eren, Mikasa, and Armin's side to comfort the lonely-looking girl.
"Hello, my name is Sakura Alice Mirai, but you can just call me Sakura! Nice to meet you! You looked sad so I came to join you."
The girl did not reply. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to startle you! I just want to be friends!"
"Don't talk to me," her reply was curt, and she had a scowl on her face. "Stay away from me." She walked away from Sakura.
"Hey, Sakura, what are you doing over there?" Armin's voice called to her from the distance.
"Oh, it was nothing!" Sakura smiled and then walked back to her group of friends. She glanced back at the lonely girl, who was approached by a male who looked like her. The male was also blond with grey eyes. His medium-length blond hair was tied back in a ponytail. His hair shone like spun golden flax, illuminated by the sunlight that struck his hair at just the perfect angle. They must be twins, Sakura realized. He was wearing a white dress shirt with the first two buttons unbuttoned. He had a grey scarf hanging loosely around his neck that matched his eyes. His pants highlighted his long legs. Even though his sister was wearing three-inch heeled boots, she still barely came up to his chin. Sakura noticed many girls staring at him from the distance.
She was astonished when he suddenly without warning turned around and winked at her. Next to her, Eren's posture stiffened.
