The new 104th chapter 11
"Do you have the list?" Connie asked as he and Sasha wandered the isles of the large general market.
"Of course I have the list," Sasha said as she patted at her Jeans and jacket pockets searching for the small list of supplies
"Did you really lose it!" Connie said as he stopped pushing the shopping cart
"No!" Sasha said as she began turning out her pockets "it's here somewhere"
"You had one job, just one job!" Connie said pinching the brow of his nose "what are we gonna do now?"
"We'll wing it," Sasha said giving up on finding the list
"Wing it!?" Connie said, "what happened to no 'funny business'?"
"Look man I…" Sasha began until she heard someone calling her and Connie's name
Spinning around Sasha and Connie saw Mikasa with a shopping cart "Sasha, Connie" Mikasa said, "how are you?"
"Fine" Sasha said, "what about you?"
"Eh, not too bad, what about you Connie?" Mikasa asked
"Fine, just great," Connie said frustrated as he continued to search his pockets
Confused Mikasa shot a glance at Sasha who said "don't mind him, he's just a little grumpy"
"Oh nothing, just Sasha's dad is gonna pop a cap in my ass if we don't come back without what he asked for," Connie said giving up on the search
"Like I said he prefers the bow," Sasha said
"That's not much better," Connie said
"Look you just need to think positive" Sasha said
"Positive!? how the hell am I…" Connie said but stopped as he and Sasha both heard Mikasa giggling uncontrollably
"Did I miss something?" Sasha asked Connie as Mikasa began to clutch her side in a painful laugh
"what are you laughing at?" Connie asked
"Ya, what's wrong?" Sasha said shaking the trembling Mikasa
"It...it's … jus...just… your shoe" Mikasa managed to wheeze out
"My shoe?" Sasha asked confused as she took a look at her old black and white sneakers "what am I looking for…" suddenly she stopped as she saw on the corner of her right heel a long piece of paper, quickly grabbing it she that it was the shopping list. "Hey, Connie check it out it's the shopping list!"
"You mean to tell me you had that stuck to your shoe this whole time!?" Connie said "and you didn't even notice"
Shrugging Sasha said "guess not" as she began prancing away
Between the occasional giggle, Mikasa said "ya. Your doomed" as she patted Connie on the shoulder and followed Sasha.
Catching up with the two women Connie heard Sasha say "so Mikasa what are you up to?"
"A bit of shopping is all" Mikasa said "what about you two"
"Sasha's dad sent us to gather some stuff for Dauper," Connie said
"He's considering hiring Connie as my personal assistant" Sasha said sticking her head up as to receive praise
"More like babysitter," Connie said poking her in the ribs
"So your dad is giving you the cafe?" Mikasa asked
"Ya he's found a little place in Trost to make the shop," Sasha said "and so I'm gonna be in charge of the shop here"
"Well that's great Sasha, so now what?" Mikasa asked
"Papa's gotta finish remodeling the new place but as of this morning I am now in charge," Sasha said proudly
"Don't get too confident?" Connie said flicking her in the head "we still need to get all the stuff before you can officially take over"
"Yea," Sasha said where Connie flicked her "papa decided to give us one last test"
"you want some help?" Mikasa said
"Oh Mikasa, you angel on earth!" Sasha said hugging her "alright let's go!"
"What about the third floor of the PA building?" Armin said, "there should be a room we could practice in there, right?"
"No I think the drama department uses these rooms for section rehearsals," Annie said, "what about in the MTF building?"
"Definitely not, the medical students don't even have enough room for themselves" Armin pointed out "let alone us too"
"Maybe we should talk to erwi…" Annie began to say before Armin's phone began to buzz
Looking at it quickly armin said "Mikasa's helping Sasha and Connie, she said we could head home"
"well then let's go home, this cold is no good" Annie said rubbing her arms
As Eren sat at the kitchen table almost done with the last problem he suddenly heard a loud
rapping at the front door and muttering, getting up he opened the door to find Jean and Marco.
"Where's the boss!?" Jean said
"Nice to see you too," Eren said, "she's not home, why?"
"We need to talk to her, we found a new gig," Marco said
"Might as well come in?" Eren said moving out of the doorway "she should be home soon"
Moving to the table Eren closed his textbook
"Early studying?" Marco said looking at the cover of the thick book
"I wish," Eren said "Armin's been trying to get me to retake the placement test so I can start in a higher class"
"And how's that working out for yea?" Jean said dryly
"As well as you would think," Eren said glaring at Jean as he brought a pot of warm coffee and three cups "so what's this gig you've got?"
"No money" Marco started "but a good way to get our name out there"
"Yea, what do we have to do?" Eren asked
"See that's the hard part we need to compete with other band's from around the area," Jean said
"And that could be a problem in its own," Marco said "we have no clue how good those other bands are"
"How long do we have?" Eren said as he took a swig of his coffee
"We have till December, but we need to submit a sample first and that's in November," Marco said
"I say it's worth a shot," Jean said, "I mean what do we have to lose?"
Nodding his head in agreement Eren said "alright I'm in, but we'll see what the boss says when she gets back"
"I'm sure she'll agree," Jean said
"Why's that?" Eren asked
"Supposably Hitch has a new group she's rolling with and they've already submitted their application.
