"Annie." Eren said as he saw Annie walked.

"Eren, what?"

"It pretty early for you to be up."

"Yet you are up as well."

"I just woke up early, that's all."

"Same with me."

"So umm..."

"What?"

"I am not good with talking to girls."

"Don't be so nervous."

"Umm..."

"It's hopeless, don't forget to be ready." She walked off to God's know what.

"Weird."

Time rolled around for traning. Eren caught up with Annie and they started and of course, Eren landed flat on his ass.

"Gah!" Eren yelled as he hit the ground. "That hurt Annie!"

"I know." She looked down at him.

"That's a thing called caring for ones health! You're a human, you should know that."

"I don't see why you are being like that, you are stronger than me. Besides...you are a man, aren't you supposed to be gentle with a little lady like me?"

"Yeah very funny, if I'm stronger, then why you are standing and I'm flat on my ass?"

She sighed. "Because the moves I know, now come on."

"Woah woah Annie wait-"

"No breaks!" She kicked his shin then grabbed him around the neck and slammed him to the ground.

"Annie...you're choking me..."

"I know, do you give in?"

"Yes! I give up Annie!"

"Dammit, I don't need you to give up, I need you to learn!"

"Learn what?!" He felt his head filling with blood.

"How to use your strength and talk to woman properly." She let him go and they both looked at each other.

"I get the strength part but about women, why would I need that?"

She sighed. "When you are on the field with your female cadets, you can't be out there nervous to talk to them."

"I'm sure if we are fighting for our lives against Titans I wouldn't be nervous."

"Still, you need to learn to talk to them, try it on me."

(With Annie)

Annie waited patiently as Eren mustered up the courage to talk. "Umm..."

"Well?"

"God this is stupid, I would must rather get dropped on my ass than do this."

"We can get back to that once you learn."

"Give me an example where I would have to use talking to women." He rolled his eyes.

"Say that you like me and want me to make me feel better, what would you say?"

"Oh come on!"

"Do it Eren."

He sighed heavily. "Hey Annie..."

"Yes?"

"Your blonde hair is very pretty..." Annie feel a bit happy for some reason.

"Thank you."

"You have beautiful blue eyes like the sky."

Did her heart skip a beat?" Thanks..."

"And your nose..."

"What about it?" She grew a bit angry, she knew her nose was weird shaped and didn't want people talking about it.

"It's weird and different from anything other person's nose I have seen but...it's pretty to me, it brings out your beauty." Eren smiled.

Annie looked down, she felt her face heat up a bit. "That's good."

"Huh? Why you looking down like that?! Did I say something wrong?!" He stood up and walked over to her.

She grabbed his arm and pulled him, making him fall face first to the ground, then she rammed her knee in his back. "Look at that."

"What the hell Annie?!"

"What did I tell you about dropping your guard?"

"Get off him Annie." Misaka told her, giving her a death glare.

"This is between me and Eren Mikasa."

"Everything involving Eren involves me."

Annie got off Eren and put her hand in her hip. "What are you his girlfriend?"

"Well no...I don't like you hurting him."

"What you gonna do about it Ackerman?"

Mikasa expression grew cold. "I don't care if I have to knock you out."

"So be it then." Annie went into her fighting stance.

"Yo guys looks it happening!" Connie yelled as a crowd gathered around.

"Is this for real?" Jean asked.

"Ready when you are." Mikasa hissed at Annie.

Annie charged at her, throwing a quick left blow. Mikasa dodged and kicked Annie in the stomach but Annie grabbed her foot and pushed her to the ground. Mikasa backflipped and kneed Annie in the ribcage then swung her fist which Annie blocked but even though she blocked, her arm stung. How could she be so strong? "You're good."

"I'm not like everyone else."

"You two!" Eren yelled, causing Mikasa to look over at him.

Annie ceased that moment to grab Mikasa by the neck the same way she did Eren and slammed her to the ground, punching her in the face tons of times. "You and Eren both the same, letting your guard down."

"Grr.." Mikasa growled as she slowly lifted Annie up.

How is she so strong? Annie thought to her self. Annie got off Mikasa, Mikasa jumped to her feet and punched Annie in the cheek, leaving a slight bruise. "Nice hit."

"That's enough you two!" Eren went over and grabbed Mikasa by the shoulders. "What are you doing?!"

"Eren, fighting for-"

"I didn't ask you too!"

"Come on Annie." Bertholdt said as he gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Whatever." Annie wondered why Eren didn't come to her first.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine, that girl is something else."

"Yeah Mikasa is very strong, but I know you can take her."

"Yeah."

"You whooped ass Annie!" Connie yelled as he walked over. "I know Mikasa got a few good hits in but you won that!"

"If you say so..."

"Annie! Good going girl!" Sasha yelled out as a potato fell out her shirt. "No!"

Annie received tons of recognition for the fight, soon later everyone was talking about it in dinner. Mina was gossiping with Sasha and Ymir so Annie sat alone, Mikasa and Armin ate together just Eren wasn't with them.

Where Eren? Annie thought. Wait, why do I care?"

"Annie." Eren said, sitting next to her.

"What?"

"You okay?"

"I'm fine. Go back to Mikasa."

"Don't be like that."

"Whatever."

"Why you say mad?"

"I have no idea what you talking about."

(With Eren)

"You sound mad." Eren could hear it in the tone of her voice.

"Whatever, you should be happy."

"Huh? Why?"

"Three more days then we gonna be out there killing Titans."

"Yeah I guess so."

"And get your hand off my ass, you are mistaken if you think I didn't notice."

Eren looked down and saw the back of his hand was in deed pushing against her bossom. "Oh shit, sorry Annie." He could feel the blood rush to his cheeks.

"Three more days, then you can fufill your dream."

"Yeah...I'll be happy to do it with you guys along side me."

"You want me to kill Titans with you?"

"Of course."

Annie looked down. "Fine."

"Awesome!" He laughed. "You know, you aren't all that bad Annie."

"Thanks."

Eren looked over and saw Bertholdt glaring at him, Eren nervously waved at him. "Annie."

"What?"

"You and Bertholdt, are you two dating?"

"No, why you would you ask that?"

"He glaring at me like he don't want me talking with you."

"He's a childhood friend, probably just protective." Annie sipped her drink. "Go back with Mikasa and Armin."

"What about our sparring?"

"We'll do that, just go."

Eren got up and sat next to Mikasa with Armin across this. "Hey guys."

"It's about time you came over here. What were you talking about with Annie?" Armin asked.

"Nothing important."

"Oh...Mikasa you've been mighty quiet."

Eren looked up and saw her glaring at Annie. "Mikasa."

"Eren?" Mikasa looked at him.

"Don't go fighting like that again."

"Eren.."

"Annie is helping me, don't butt into it."

"Alright." She looked down.

"Good." Eren looked over and saw Annie staring at him, they locked eyes then she looked away.
