Hello to my potential readers, After looking at some of the reviews of chapter one, I am going to try to act upon them and improve, first things first though, Thanks to EvaWinters for her lovely review and encouragement, Also thanks to Doom Marine 54 for his review, and finally thanks to all those so far who have taken the time to read, Nineteen individuals have looked at it since creation, and that just make me feel happy, so thank you and enjoy chapter two.

Dan stared at the speaker, a young boy probably around twelve or thirteen, with blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. His mind was racing. 'Did he say Armin? No that can't be right, could it?' Dan began to answer "Yeah." came a high squeaky voice he stopped, who the hell said that, he looked up towards the other two, both pulling up their friend by each arm. On the right was the brunette boy, with green eyes and a scowl on his face. Dan turned towards the other, a girl, with long midnight black hair and dark red scarf, she expression was, well he couldn't tell, the best word he could come up with was neutral. He finally turned back to the blonde who was now on his feet, then it hit him. It was him, he was the one who just spoke, he opened his mouth to speak again.

"I'm fine thanks."

Shit, it was him. He scrambled to his feet, looking again at the trio, the top of his head came up to the blonde's eye level. He noticed a window on his left and looked towards it, it only took a few seconds for him to realise; his face was rounder, his hair reached the bottom of his face on either side, and his eyes looked bigger than usual. It reminded him of the picture his mum used to bring out to embarrass him when friends were over, when secondary school had begun, and he was going through his gothy faze. At least he wasn't wearing the fucking black leather long coat. He stopped for a moment, what was he wearing? It wasn't his shirt and jeans, that was for certain. His shirt was blue, but it looked like one that you see the tour guides at history walks wearing. The same could be said for his trousers, which were brown in colour and held up by suspenders.

"My names Armin," the words snapped him out of his thoughts, "nice to meet you"

Dan looked at the outstretched hand, before looking back at the boy who was once again smiling at him, Dan shook his hand .

" I'm Daniel, It's nice to meet you too" he paused "sorry for walking out in front of you, I should have been more careful…"

Next Eren introduced himself, It was still dawning on Dan, but he knew who they were, the realization was slow, his mind struggling to comprehend the situation, but he was beginning to understand where he was. Eren's introduction was short, and a little rude "Yeah, I'm Eren" he gestured to the girl "this is Mikasa" Dan nodded at her, he didn't know why, but it seemed like the right thing to do. "We would stay and chat" Eren continued, impatiently "but we've got somewhere to be." And with that Eren began to walk quickly in the direction that had been previously travelling, Mikasa quickly followed behind him, and Armin bid him a goodbye "It was nice to meet you", he said before running to catch up with the other's

"Come on" he heard Eren yell to Armin "Otherwise were gonna' miss recruitment."

For some reason that clicked the final piece into place "Is this, Trost?" he said looking around quickly, and that meant that, he was in... No he couldn't be.

"I'm coming" he heard Armin shout back

Dan began to run after them, he had made a decision, he was going to try and stick with these guy's at least until he had more time to think, at least that way he knew what was coming.

"WAIT!" he shouted after them. They stopped, Eren looking pissed off.

"What?" he said, venom oozing from the word.

"I'm going to sign up too" he said, breathing heavier and faster than before, he had not sprinted in a very long time, as such the action had took his body by surprise.

Eren's face became a bit less agitated, "Well, It's gonna be hell if that tires you out" he said plainly, "Come on then, let's go."

Soon they arrived at the place where they signed up, it was a large square with a fountain in the middle, just in front of the fountain a table had been set up, at which sat three members of the garrison, in front of whom was a stack of papers which the potential recruit had to sign before they climbed into the back of carts, which Dan assumed took them towards the Training Camp. What was he thinking, He couldn't even run a couple of metres without being winded, how the hell was he going to survive a training program, not to mention that if he did he would have to face.' he felt the colour drain from his face, luckily no one was currently paying any heed to him, the trio were too busy talking amongst themselves. He continued his train of thought, if he did manage to survive the training, he knew he would have to face the titans, there was no way of avoiding that, they scared him enough in fiction. Giant humanoids, who ate people for no explainable reason other than enjoyment. He felt sick. What would his mum say, he stopped altogether, mum, in all that was going on, he forgot that he wasn't from here, why was he here, then he remembered the van, his right side ached with a dull pain, she would have seen his body, his bones broken, the life gone from his eyes, she would be crying. How fucking selfish could he be, here he was worried about titans, and right now his mother would be crying uncontrollably. he felt tears forming in his eyes.

"Dan, are you ok" he looked up at the voice, it was Armin, Eren and Mikasa were also staring.

"You scared or something" he Eren sneered. He had forgot how much of a dick Eren was at this point

"N-No" Dan lied, quickly bringing up his arm to wipe the tears from his eyes, he needed to think up a reason without sounding like a wimp, his mind raced through combinations of words until a sentence lined up like the wheels on a fruit machine

"My dad was in the survey corps, I was just thinking how proud he would be of me at the moment" he spoke through a quivery voice, only half lying, his dad had died in military service when he was very little, and he was certain his dad would be proud of him, as he had always believed those who were strong enough, should protect those who couldn't protect themselves, that thought passing through his mind gave him strength and he felt the fear begin to fade, the sadness stayed though.

Eren seemed to understand what he meant, and looked apologetic towards him "ah, I'm sorry" he stuttered, "I had no idea"

Armin smiled kindly "I'm sure he would be very proud of you."

Eventually it was there turn to sign up at the table, the trio went first, and after they finished filling in the documents. Climbed into the back of the carriage. Dan went to sign his paper, but a garrison member used her arm to bar his way

"hang on, you've got to wait for the next carriage"

Dan looked to see Armin waving at him "We'll see you there!" He also saw Eren smiling at him, Dan returned the wave and smile. A few minutes later the next carriage arrived, and Dan was allowed to proceed, he began to sign his paper, it didn't require all that much information, Full name, date of birth, and details of next of kin. He began to sign the paper 'Daniel' he decided to fake the last name, he never really liked his own one, he thought for a second before signing 'Seiler' it was the name of his old German teacher, it meant something along the line of 'roper'. Next was date of birth, his looked around desperately and caught sight of Eren's paper, on it he had written 'March 30th 835' , using that as a year indicator he wrote 'November 12th 834'. finally was the easiest part, in next of kin he wrote 'None', before passing his paper to the garrison member. who after briefly scanning at it, looked at him with a hint of sympathy, then gestured towards the cart.
