Day 25: Survey Corps
Everyone was sitting at a large table generally used for strategy-forming meetings, but which was currently covered in a spread of delicious looking foods, which Petra and Sasha had just carried over from the kitchen. The pair was bringing the last few dishes over at the moment, and then the meal would begin. The meal, of course, being Christmas dinner.
"Okay, that's everything! Dig in, guys!" Sasha announced cheerfully as she placed a salad on the last open space on the table. Not even an inch of the tablecloth Krista had sewn for the occasion was visible between the bowls and plates of food. As soon as she spoke, everyone began grabbing bowls of food and adding portions of their contents to their plates.
"Hey, pass the potatoes, please," Armin whispered to Connie, who was currently in possession of the bowl of potatoes. Armin was sure once Sasha go ahold of them, there would not be any potatoes left for anyone else.
"Did someone say potatoes? Where'd they go?" Sasha looked around frantically for her favorite food. Once Armin took a potato from the bowl, he passed it to the distraught brunette, who brightened considerably as she poured the majority of the remaining potatoes onto her plate.
The other food was passed around until everyone's plate was full. As though planned, everyone began eating at the exact same moment, and for awhile the only sound to be heard was that of chewing and food being cut up. Soon enough, however, small conversations broke out and eventually Sasha was the only one still eating. Finally, even she was finished and joined a coversation between some of her squadmates.
A loud noise abruptly ended all conversations, and the bright light accompanying it caused a few more paranoid members to duck under the table, fearing they were being attacked. It was around then that Moblit noticed Hanji was missing. When a second and then a third explosion occurred, everyone ran to a window and looked outside. There seemed to be a fireworks display happening, so they headed outside to watch. Hanji was already there, apparently having ran outside as soon as the first firework went off.
Several more fireworks followed, with the final ones forming two words in the sky: Merry Christmas.
