"Rosie," a woman said, smiling.
She picked me up from my crib, and spun me around. I giggled enjoying the comfort of her presence and touch. She had the same dark red hair as mine. She wore elegant clothing. The woman was absolutely beautiful and flawless.
"Honey, she's beautiful," a man said, now beside the woman.
"Yes she is," the woman smiled.
They were both now looking at me with loving eyes. I felt comfortable around them, I felt protected in their arms.
"Rosie, Rosie!" the man kept saying. Everything started to fade away.
I woke up to Hanji shouting my name.
"Huh..yea.. I'm awake..What happened?"
"Wake up sleepyhead, we're almost there!" She said grinning.
I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes. That dream again..it was the same dream that kept coming back to me. I could never figure out who they were, and what the dream meant. Oh well, it probably doesn't have any meaning, just my brain messing with me. I looked around, Hanji was right. On the horizon, the top of Wall Rose came into view. I remembered back to yesterday. Today was the beginning of a new life, a life without my parents or friends. A life dedicated solely to killing titans, yes that's the life I want to pursue. I'm going to avenge every person who died by the hands of titans, or die trying. Wait- A sudden realization fell upon me. Surely, I couldn't enlist now with my current status. One broken arm and a broken leg, they would never accept me!
"What should I do? Where would I go..?" I whispered, saddened.

Over hearing what Rose said, Hanji felt sorry for the kid. She really didn't have anywhere to go. These are hard times; she would probably die in the refugee camps in her current state. Hanji had to think of something. What could she do? How could she hel-
"Oi kid," Corporal Levi said addressing Rose.
"Huh..Yes Sir?" Rose replied nervously.
"You want to join the Scouting Legion and be like me, right?" He asked with his usual dull voice.
"Yes Sir! But I don-"
"You start your training early, I need a new assistant, and you will stay at the Scouting Legion quarters until your healed enough to enlist." He said cutting her off.
Everyone looked at their Corporal confused. They have never heard of such training. What was the Corporal thinking? No one dared to question the Lance Corporal. He just kept looking forward, not losing any composure. Rose seems to have not notice the weird stares, she was too happy by the request.

"I would be honored!" I shouted, on the verge of joyous tears.
"That's great Rose, we'll be seeing each other more!" Hanji smiled.
I couldn't believe it, I was so happy. I had a place to stay, and I was going to learn more about the Scouting Legion. I was going to see more of Corporal Levi and be of help to him. I just wanted to embrace the Corporal and tell him how much this means to me. I laughed to myself. Embracing the Corporal would probably be the death of me. Wait. Why did he pick me anyways, is he perhaps interested in me? I blushed, maybe the Corporal– Nahh. The Scouting Legion probably does this to everyone interested in joining them; he just hasn't got an assistant yet. Yeah, that's it. No way would someone like Corporal Levi be interested in somebody like me…
The loud sounds of gates filled the air. We were now entering District Trost. I instantly heard cheering. People were gathered all around, to welcome the Scouting Legion back.
"It's Commander Irvin Smith!"
"The Scouting Legion is back! They're so brave"
"Humanity's hope!"
"Look its Corporal Levi!"
Wow, they really are amazing, to be loved and praise from people all around. I wish one day I would receive compliments like this. This was it, the beginning of my new life.
