Dan quickly clambered out of his bunk, and dressed himself, before he and Marco rushed out of the door towards the mess hall.

When they got in the room was bustling and breakfast was already well underway, Marco quickly left to go sit with Jean, Dan grabbed his breakfast and began to scan the room for a place to sit, He quickly saw a seat at the table closest to him, he noted that at the two people were already at the table, he recognised them as Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, he made his way to the table.

"Uh-Excuse me" his voice came out in a nervous babble "d-do you mind if I sit here"

The stocky blonde turned to face him "Yeah, sure" he said gruffly, before turning back to his friend.

Dan ate in silence, once he had finished he thanked the two for allowing him to sit at their table, they nodded in acknowledgement and Dan left the table. After turning in his plate he made his way outside, The sun was just becoming visible, and lazy orange beams of sunlight began to slowly creep towards him, he stepped down from the porch of the building and put his back to the wall, he then slowly slid down the wall and closed his eyes. He felt the warm rays began to crawl up his face.

"Hey...Dan..."

He felt a foot kick his

"wake up idiot"

Dan's eyes cracked open, before he immediately had to close them again, He then brought his hand up to shield his eye's, before attempting to open them again, the previous warm orange rays, were now a blinding yellow glare

"What" Dan asked grumpily

"Come on"

Dan looked up to see who he was actually talking too, 3 pairs of eyes stared back down at him, Armin, Eren and Mikasa

"It's aptitude testing time" Armin said smiling kindly, offering his hand. Dan accepted the gesture, using Armin's offer to help pull himself up.

"Thanks" Dan smiled back at him

"I probably would have slept through otherwise"

The group made their way towards the testing area, where a few wooden structures with ropes and pulleys were set up, they joined the huddle of trainees that was beginning to form in front of the contraptions

"So, you think there the test" Dan thought out loud

"No, I think they're there for show" Eren replied sarcastically

"You know you don't have to be a" Dan began, but was interrupted by the appearance of Shadis

"ALRIGHT YOU USELESS SACKS OF SHIT" Shadis Yelled

"THESE THINGS HERE ARE WHAT WERE GOING TO TEST YOUR APTITUDE ON, YOU'VE GOT TO STAY UPRIGHT FOR 10 SECONDS MINIMUM, OR YOU'RE OUT, LUCKILY TODAYS A TRAINING DAY, SO YOU MAGOTS CAN PRACTICE A SIMPLE TASK LIKE THIS, YOU WILL BE TESTED TOMORROW, FORM LINES AND BEGIN."

When it finally came to be Dan's turn on one of the testing rig's he was nervous, he strapped himself into it, and one of the other trainees cranked him up. As he slowly rose of the ground he began to wobble, trying to distribute his weight evenly. However the first couple of tries he ended up upside down, around his 3rd or 4th try though, he managed to maintain his balance long enough which seemed to be the average, and he was slowly lowered down again. He began moving through the horde of cadets, looking for a familiar face, and he eventually found Marco, who had also just finished his try.

"So, how did you do?" Marco inquired

"Managed to do it on my first try" Dan said with mock bravado, Marco looked astonished for a second. "I'm fucking with you man, I got it on my fourth, What about you?"

"Around the same"

Their attention was drawn by the sound of snickering and they turned to see a small gathering around one of the rigs, Dan assumed this was the one that Eren currently occupied, judging by the harsh sound of Shadis' voice, and the continuation of the quiet laughter.

"Poor bastard" said a condescending voice behind them, Dan turned to see a boy, about Marco's height, with short brown hair and an almost arrogant grin on his face

"Yesterday the kid was harping on about killing Titans, yet he can't even keep upright, It's pathetic."

Despite the fact that Dan thought Eren was kind of an asshole, this prick was being a bit harsh.

"And who are you then" Dan asked, trying to add a bit of bite to his tone, of course he knew who this guy was, and he knew that early in the story, he was a cocky prick.

"The name's Jean Kirstein, aren't you the guy Shadis punched" Something about that embarrassed Dan.

"Yeah, Daniel Seiler, aren't you the guy he head butted" Jean's eyebrow twitched

"A friend of yours Marco?" Jean asked

'They must already be acquainted...' Dan thought

"Yeah, he's my bunkmate" Marco answered, Dan decided to leave the conversation before he had the chance to lose his temper with Jean, he bid farewell to them both and quickly made his way towards the rear of the group. His mind began to wander as he made his way through the crowd, so much so that he didn't see the person in front of him until he almost fell over them, he quickly stepped back and apologised

"Shit, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going" he began, whilst scanning the person in front of him. She was small, very small, and she was wearing a white hoodie like garment along with her uniform, with mid-length blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, which were furrowed in a terrifying scowl, matched with the thin pursed line that was her mouth, he immediately felt a small wave of fear wash over him.

'Annie Leonhart' He thought 'God she's scary in person ' He immediately stepped to the side and she walked past silently, he could feel the hostile aura radiating of her, and honestly it terrified him.

'Off to a good start today...' he thought, before continuing his path to the back of the group.
