The were at the beach for hours, just swimming and laughing and having a good time. "Hey guys come here." Ymir said who became the planner at this point. "What now." Connie said. "Hush, I think we should head up to the board walk and see what's up there." Ymir said. Yeah, that sounds like fun." Mikasa said. "Yeah I agree with Mikasa, lets go." Armin said. So they all went up. But when they get there they notice a big group of people around a machine. "What's that over there?" Krista asks. "I don't know, some sort of competition maybe?" Jean replies. "I'll ask someone." Eren says. "Excuse me?" Eren said to a short pale girl. "Yeah, what do you need." She replied. She was very short, like krista's height and had jet black hair. "No I was just wondering what the big group of people is about?" Eren asked her. "Oh, well that's the DDR battle machine, it's two DDR machines and whoever gets the most points wins, the reason that there's a big crown is that my boyfriend is the champion and people are trying to beat him." She tells him. "Oh well I actually have a friend who is really good at this kinda stuff, can he try?" Eren asked. "Of course, just wait for him. By the way, my name is Pieck." She said holding out her hand. "Nice to meet you, my names Eren." Eren says shaking her hand.
"Hey guys come here, I have news." Eren says motioning over the group. "So what's going on?" Sasha asks. "It's actually a DDR battle machine, and people are challenging the champion, and I nominated Armin." Eren said with pride. "Really, thanks dude, I got this." Armin said. "You're such a nerd, you know that Armin?" Krista asked him. "And by the way this is Pieck, she is the champion's girlfriend." Eren said. "Hi guys, oh look, he's coming over." Pieck said. They all look over and see a guy coming over. He was as tall as Eren and had red hair that was slicked back. Bertolt makes a sound that was almost a whimper. "I need to go, like now!" Bertolt says as he runs off. "Hey Bertolt what's wrong, come back here!" Ymir says as she chases after him.
"What's up with them?" Connie says. "I don't know, but Bertolt looked worried, I hope he's okay." Krista says. "Alright, so this is Porco." Pieck says. "Hey babe, who are these chumps." Porco said. "Well up yours to buddy." Jean says. "Jean, be nice." Mikasa said. "I was talking with them and one of them wants to challenge you." Pieck says. "Switch one wants to go at it, avatar, horse face, emo, or mop top." Porco says. "Did you, just call me, f%$#ing avatar!" Connie says mad. "Yeah, what's it to you." Porco says. "I'm gonna kill him." Connie says with no hesitation. "No you're not, lets go play a carnival game or something." Sasha says as she walks him off.
"Alright, seriously though, who wants to go at it." Porco says. "Don't act like nothing happened, what's your problem?" Eren asked him. "No big deal, your friends just a whoose, do you want to go at it?" Porco says really cool. "No, that would actually be me." Armin says. "Oh my god, are you okay?" Porco asks. "Umm yeah, why?" Armin asks confused. "It looks like it's past your bedtime sweetie." Pieck said from behind him. "Yeah, we'll find your mom for you, okay?" Porco says and starts to laugh. "While you find my mom I'm going to look for your hairline." Armin replies.
"Well aren't you cool." Porco says. "Well, lets go at DDR, come on man." Armin says. "You really think you can beat me? That's the best joke I've heard all day." Porco says. "How about a bet?" Armin asks. "A bet? What kinda bet?" Porco asks him. "Armin, is this really a good idea?!" Krista said from behind him. "One hundred dollars says I can beat you." Armin says ignoring Krista. "One hundred, you gotta deal." Porco says as he goes towards the machine. "Armin, what was that, you should have just left." Jean said. "Yeah Armin, can you even pay him?" Mikasa says. "Guys calm down, I got this." Armin says.
"Hey mop top, you coming or what?" Porco says next to the machine. "Yeah, hold on." Armin says as he walks over. "You got this Armin, you're the best at this game man." Eren says. Armin walks over and puts a quarter in the machine. "Oh my god." Annie said from behind Eren. Porco took off his jacket to reveal that he is totally ripped, like he looked like the rock. "What is he going to do to Armin if he wins Eren?" Annie says worrily. "I don't know, but the fact that Bertolt ran off makes me worry." Eren replies.
"Bertolt come back here, what are you doing." Ymir says as she chases after Bertolt. "I just need to use the bathroom, okay?" Bertolt says as he runs. "No it's not, come back here!" Ymir says. She finally catches up to him and brings him behind the little bathrooms at the beach. "Now, whats going on?!" Ymir asks him. "Nothing, nothing at all, everything's okay." Bertolt says. "No you're not, I can tell, please tell me." Ymir says with a softer tone. "Okay, okay okay I'll tell you, I know Porco, his dad was in the airforce with my mom. They were very good friends, they actually started to date. So they both took some time off and that's when I met Porco. After a week mom and Mr. Galliard had to go back to there base. But..but." Bertolt stopped talking. "Bertolt whats wrong, you stopped." Ymir asks. "It's just, a..a week after they got b..back to there base my mom went on a ride to another base to pick up something, and, and." Bertolt stopped again. "Bertolt, what's wrong." Ymir asks again. "On her way someone was following her, and and.." Bertolt stopped again. "Bertolt, I can't help unless you tell me!" Ymir says more serious. "OKAY FINE, IT WAS A RUSSIAN SPY AND HE SHOT DOWN HER PLANE AND SHE DIED, THERE WAS BARELY ANYTHING LEFT OF HER OR HER PLANE! Bertolt finally said with tears slowly coming out of his eyes. "Oh Bertolt, I'm so sorr-" Ymir started to say but was interrupted. The reason she didn't notice the spy was because she was looking at a picture of me. Mr. Galliard planned on proposing to her, but when he heard the news he commited suicide, At both of there furnerals Porco didn't talk to me. But before I left with my Me=Ma he said if he ever saw me again he would avenge his father. BECAUSE I'M THE REASON THEY'RE BOTH DEAD." Bertolt finished and tears were streaming down his face, he was breathing heavy and was sweating. "Oh Bertolt, I'm so sorry. Ymir said as she hugged him. "I just can't face him, I just can't, I killed his dad, he hates me." Bertolt said into Ymir's shoulder. "Bert, people don't hold grudges forever, he probably wants to apologize now, come on, let's go with the others." Ymir says as she grabs his hand and they started walking towards the boardwalk.
