A/N: Thank you for reviewing my story everyone :3 I really love reading every single one of them, they make me so happy ^^
I DO NOT OWN SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN!
The doorbell chimed. Eagerly, Alice raced to the door. Her dark blue eyes sparkled with excitement. She wore a white summer dress and her wavy brunette hair was tied up in two loose braided pig tails. She stayed up past her bedtime for days just to plan everything for today.
"Hurry mama!" She said as she rushed her mother to open the door.
Her mother skittle out of the kitchen.
"Coming, dear."
She unlocked the heavy wooden door and with a smile on her face she greeted her visitors. The little girl peeped from behind and her eyes scanned through. Her eyes met with Eren's, she smiled at him and she returned it with another.
"Mama, can Eren and I go out to the garden to play?" She couldn't hold in her excitement.
"Of course!" She laughed, she never saw her so impatient before.
Happily she grabbed Eren by the wrist and ran to the garden.
"So what do you want to play today?" Eren asked.
"I know! Let's play tea party!"
"No way! I'm not playing that! That's a girl's game."
"Fine, then what do you want to play?" Alice pouted.
"What about tag?
"I guess that's alright."
"Then tag it is."
"In that case… TAG YOU'RE IT!" Alice tapped him on the shoulder before running off.
"Hey! No fair!" Eren whined as he chased after her.
She giggled when she saw Eren stumble while trying to catch her. The game continued and the children's laughter filled the area. As time passed, slowly, their laughter turned into pants. The two laid on the ground as they tried to catch their breath. After playing tag for the past 10 minutes, they were both exhausted since each of them had to be 'it' at least 30 times as they were only playing with each other, they didn't get much distance between them and the word 'tag' was heard every few seconds. Playing tag with only two people ceased to be much harder than they had imagined.
"Hey, we should stop. It's getting really boring." Eren turned to Alice who was lying next to him
"Yeah, you're right." She hoists herself up in a sitting position. "So what do you want to play next?"
"I don't know. Any ideas? Other than tea-party."
Just as she was about to say anything Eren interrupted her.
"Or dress up or dolls."
"You're no fun." She mumbled. "Fine how about save the damsel?"
"Fine… at least its better than tea-party. In that case, you should go find somewhere to stand."
"Why?"
"We're playing save the damsel, right?
"Yeah."
"So."
"So?"
"So! Go stand somewhere so I can save you!"
"Why?"
"Because you're the princess!"
"I don't want to be the princess! You be the princess!"
"I'm a boy, I can't be the princess! You're a girl, don't normally girls want to be the princess?"
"But I don't want to! I want to be the prince!"
"Fine we'll both be the prince."
"But we can only have one prince."
"Then I'll be the knight in shining armor!"
"Then who will be the princess?"
"You're rabbit can be the princess."
'But Usa-chan is a boy."
"So am I! Besides it's white."
"Fine… wait here. I'll go get everything set up." She said as she disappeared into the house.
Eren sat there and began wondering if she was really the same Alice he met 2 months ago, the same shy and unsociable Alice. Recently she began to open up more and became more talkative, not that he minded. After all it was better than having a one-sided conversation with an awkward silence when he couldn't think of what else to say.
"Alright, I'm back! Come on, Sir Eren! We must save the princess from the ferocious beast before it's too late. Here catch, gear up!" She commanded as she threw his weapon to him which was a rolled up newspaper. She attached hers to her waist, it was held up with a string.
"Now get on the trusty stead." She said as she smacked the stuff animal.
"B-but…" Eren hesitated. "But it's a sheep."
"You have to use your imagination."
"But it's a sheep no matter how you look at it."
"It's a horse Eren!"
"It's a sheep!"
"No, it's not! It's our trusty stead!"
"Sheep!"
"Fine! It's our trusty sheep! Now get on it before the princess gets eaten."
"Now why are you up front?" Eren complained.
"Well, can you ride a horse?"
"No…"
"Exactly!"
When did she become so bossy?
She pretend to nudge the sides of the plush toy and the two began to gallop away to their journey on their trusty sheep.
"Halt! There it is! The evil dragon has appeared." She said as she points to another stuff toy.
"It's a dog." Eren interrupts.
"It's a dragon if I say so!" She insisted.
She pulls out her 'sword' and began charging at it.
"Attack!" She screams in a war like cry.
Eren pulled his out too and the two began their 'attack' on the 'ferocious dragon'. Finally, after the 'long' hard battle the dragon was defeated (they knocked it over).
"Now that we've defeated it, we have to save the princess."
"Back on the sheep!" Eren ordered.
The two (three if you count the steed… I-I mean sheep) made their way to the patio and in the center stood a tall white round table, on it was a white stuffed rabbit wearing a pink henin hat on its head.
"Isn't it a little too high?" Eren asked. He wondered how she even managed to place it up there.
"It's alright." She gets off the stuffed sheep. "Have no fear princess! I, Prince Alice and Knight Eren are here to save you! Let's go Eren." She giggled as she ran up to the table. "Here, lift me." She said as she ushered him to get down.
"Why can't we use the chairs?" Eren asked.
"Don't be silly Eren. Heroes don't use chairs."
"Fine." Eren sighed. He got on all fours; Alice took a step on his back. Eren grunted.
"Sorry." Alice whispered to him.
She took a while to balance; she takes hold of the table to stabilize herself. She tiptoes to get a better reach for their 'damsel'.
"Almost there!" She stretched her arms. "I got it!"
Eren groaned again and the both of them fell on top of each other.
"Ouch." They moaned.
"You alright?" Alice who was on top of Eren asked (no obscene intentions was intended).
"Yeah."
"Sorry." She got off of him.
"It's alright."
"I'm tired."
"Me too."
"Let's go rest at the gazebo over there."
"Yeah."
"I wonder where those two went." Luce said.
"I'm sure they're here somewhere."
"Yeah. Oh! Look!"
She pointed out the two children resting with their heads on top of each other's. Both of them sleeping soundly.
"They look like little angles." Luce exclaimed.
"They must have tuckered themselves off."
"Yes. It'll be a shame to wake them up."
"Let's leave them be for a while."
"Yes. Let's have some tea while we wait."
"I'd love that."
The two adults walked away continuing their chatter in the house. A little smile appeared on Alice's face, that day she dreamt of many adventures and of course by her side was none other than…"
A/N: I don't think you can consider this as a cliff hanger since it's pretty obvious who it is. :3 Alice is pretty open to Eren so now she's showing her true sadist nature XD Do you guys prefer this Alice or the shy Alice more?
P.S. The next chapter will be the last chapter of the Eren and Alice arc. Do you guys think I should extend it more or should I just skip to the next arc? Please tell me what you think . (I think we all know what the next arc is -winkwink-)
