Hello friends! I don't own Shingeki no Kyojin or any of the songs listed here. Thanks!

DANCE LESSONS

"I'm going to invite my friend over using the phone," Sonia told Armin and Eren. She put in the number in and put in on speaker. She was amused over the anticipation on their faces. "Hello?" Her best friend, Kathrine, finally said. Both Eren and Armin's eyes widened in complete amazement. "Hey babe!" Did she just call her babe? They both thought. "I have some people I want you to meet. Can you come over?" "Sure! I'll be over in five. Cya!" The call ended. "In this time, girls call their friends 'babe'. We're not together or anything." They nodded in understatement. "Eren," Armin said, "We're not really dressed for this era. Let's take of our belts and gear." Armin and Eren started removing the belts that laced their chests. Even after removing the straps, their shirts were still very old fashioned. "Stay here, I think I have some old hoodies."

When Sonia returned, she held two jackets. "These'll be loose, but they'll have to do." "Thanks," they both muttered in unison, both absent-mindedly pulling off their shirts. Sonia felt her face heat up. For such young kids, they sure were in shape. After they were once again dressed and seated, Sonia asked, "How old are you two?" "We're both 15, but will be 16 soon." Eren answered. Well, that's a relief, she thought to herself. "I'm 16, too." There was a brief but very awkward silence after that. She broke it with, "Why are you two so quiet? I've done almost all the talking since you got here!" Armin and Eren glanced at each other. "Well, it was kind of the year 850 about an hour a go, but now, it's 2014. We're still a bit shaken-" The doorbell cut Eren off. "What was that?" Armin asked. "The doorbell. You ring it to announce your arrival." She sprang up to answer the door.

"Hey, girl!" Kathrine squealed excitedly. "Where are these new friends of yours?" Sonia tugged Kathrine over to Armin and Eren. "Kathrine, this is Armin and Eren. Guys, this is Kathrine." Armin smiled at her. "Hello, Kathrine," He said, standing up to shake her hand. She ignored his hand completely. "Oh my God, you look like He-Man!" She screamed, pulling him into an embrace. Armin's face stained red, and he looked at Eren, as if to say, 'Help me!' Eren shrugged, an amused glint in his eye. She released a stunned Armin. "Hey, Sonia, turn on some music!" She sing-songed. Sonia grinned. "Armin and Eren are not really accustomed to modern music. Do you want to teach them about it?" Armin and Eren instantly looked at each other, a bit of a scared look on both of their faces. Kathrine grinned evilly, pulling off her jacket. "Shall we?"

Sonia shoved her iPhone in the dock, scrolling through her iTunes library to find a song. She settled on 'Talk Dirty' by Jason Derulo. The catchy tune filled the room, and Kathrine squealed in excitement. "Our song!" They started dancing. They were both horrible dancers, but it was fun. Both Eren and Armin had very uneasy looks towards the suggestive lyrics. Sonia loved the song, but she couldn't wait for the rapping part. This is going to be hilarious! She thought to herself.

Dos Cadenas, close to genius

Sold out arenas, you can suck my penis

Their heads perked up and their eyes widened.

Gilbert Arenas, guns on deck

Chest to chest, tongue on neck

International oral sex

They started to blush, and they stared at each other. Their eyes said, 'Are you hearing this?!"

Bought a jet, what do you expect?

Her pussy's so good I bought her a pet

Anyway, every day I'm trying to get to it

Their faces were a scarlet shade of red.

When the song ended, both of the boys looked impossibly embarrassed. Eren sighed, thankful it was over. "Oh my God, guys! Get up and dance with us!" Kathrine commanded. Together, they shook their head 'no', too afraid of the raunchy words. "Whatever. Sonny, turn on Pompeii," She sighed, rolling her eyes. Complying, Sonia turned on the song. She had always loved the lyrics.

And the walls keep tumbling down in the city that we love, great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

Somehow, the song reminded Eren of something. He tried to ignore the painful feeling tugging at him, but he couldn't shake it. What is this reminding me of? He wondered.

But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?

And suddenly, it was That Day. He was suddenly looking at an exited Armin with that forbidden book of the outside treasures. "And there are huge bodies of water that cover most of this planet called oceans, made completely of salt water!" Eren, who was mildly interested up to that point, no longer believed of the outside world. "No way! Salt is insanely valuable. The traders would've used it all up by now." Armin grew even more exited. "They can't use it all, it's that big!" His memories skipping ahead, he remembered the Colossal Titan kicking down the gate, when the world he knew until then ruined. He remembered his mother crushed under his childhood house, the house that once made him feel safe. The house had betrayed him. He remembered watching his mother helplessly thrashing in the smiling Titan's grip. He didn't want to remember anymore, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

"Hey, Eren..." Armin began, breaking his thoughts. "You're thinking about it. You're thinking about That Day, aren't you?" Eren gave a small nod. Recently, he had been able is suppress the horrific memories that the fall of Wall Maria branded into his mind, but the words that he had heard made them all flood back. "Hey, Sonia?" Armin started softly, "You wouldn't mind changing the music, would you? It brings up bad memories for us." Nodding, Sonia pulled the phone off of the jack. She hoped she hadn't brought up a sensitive subject. "Hey, Kath, It's already midnight. Are you staying over?" Kathrine shrugged. "Sure, I don't care." She walked towards the bedroom. "You two can stay on the sofas. Bathroom's over there." As Sonia walked to her room, she turned back towards them. "Oh, and by the way, we're going shopping tomorrow," She told them with a smug grin.

Settling on the couches, Armin and Eren were finally able to discuss the matter at hand. "Armin, I don't want to be here anymore, it's too much! You're the smart one, how do we get back?" Armin scowled at Eren's complaint. "Eren, I may be smart, but I'm not Hanji. She's the one who sent us here, so she can take us back. However, I did have an idea, but it's silly..." Eren nodded vigorously is encouragement, willing to try anything to get back. "Remember how we got here? We crashed. Maybe that's how we'll get back." Eren gave Armin a sour look, as if to say, 'Seriously, man?' "Yeah, it's a dumb idea. Sorry, I'll think of something else." Eren raised his hand to hush his friend. "No, it's worth a shot. Anyways, it's all we've got. It's best we sleep now. Night, Armin." He gave a sleepy grunt in response. "I never thought I'd be so urgent to get back to those damned Titans and Corporal shorty," Eren slurred in a tired voice to nobody in particular.
