One Punch Micky: Eyyyy that's great! I hope I'll surprise you in every chapter!

It was the first time Historia took a train alone in this giant city she lives in. She felt really anxious on what to do, how to behave, and where to go. She couldn't even remember the name of Eren's village!

The Blonde walked around shyly, avoiding people's eyes. She felt so anxious.

I have to calm down, she thought as she stopped by the public bathrooms, locking herself in to regain her composure. She panted softly, holding onto the key necklace around her neck. She looked down on it, thoughtful. What would Eren do…?

Historia took out the paper he left the other day, reading it to give her some strength. 'Be Eren in Historia's skin.'

She could already picture Eren being his usual clumsy self, walking around and tripping, asking people where to go, be loud, eventually.

Historia smiled to herself, holding onto the key tightly, and pressing the paper against her chest dearly.

Feeling the courage to face the world once more, Historia left the bathroom with confidence, and went to look for Eren's village.

She looked upon her phone for a bar/café named ' Coordinated café' in a village with the remaining of a fort. She looked around for someone to ask when…

'SHIGANSHINA GROUP TOUR THIS WAY!'

A dark haired woman with glasses was waving a dark green flag around, looking very excited. A few people followed her, among them a small dark haired man with a grumpy look.

Historia's eyes widened when she realized how familiar the name 'Shiganshina' sounded. She wandered shyly over to the woman.

"Uhm, hello," she said lowly. "Is… Shiganshina a small village, by the Mountains, with remaining of a fort?"

The woman perked up to that, a joyful glint in her brown eyes. "Ohhhh we have an expert here! Yes yes it is! Do you have a ticket?"

"Oh," Historia's shoulders slumped. "No…"

"No ticket, no tour," the small man replied sternly. Okay, Historia just decided that she was a bit afraid of that man now.

"Pshhhh Levi don't be such a mood ruiner," the woman huffed, nudging the man playfully, which caused him to send her a warning glare. "We're not much, I guess we can take a small illegal passenger. Iiiiif," she grinned to Historia. "She gives us valid reasons to join us."

Historia perked up, trying to gather her courage to sound as convincing as she could. "I really, really need to go there not only to discover the village further, and change my life, but I… I also really need to find someone there."

Levi rolled his eyes to that. "We're not going play match-maker he-"

"AHHHHHHH THAT IS SO ROMANTIC!" The woman squealed out, moving over to Historia with bright eyes. "Two distant lovers waiting to be reunited in a village of history, thou is fate's desire! You're IN!"

Historia beamed to that, although she did blush a little to the 'lovers' part. "T-Thank you so much ma'am! I still have a bit of money to pay for the tour!"

"No problem sweetie," The woman chuckled,r eaching out to pat Historia's shoulder. "What's your name?"

"Historia."

"Nice to meet you, Historia. Name's Hanji."

Since Shinganshima was pretty small and far away from civilization, Historia and the group had to take a bus after the train. She didn't feel exhausted, not one bit, she felt so excited, and was already making up various scenarios in her head. Would Eren be happy to see her? Does he also feel like the phenomena including them wasn't a coincidence? Was he thinking about her too?

The Blonde's heart kept skipping beats to the thought of finding a smiling Eren in front of her, meet him in real life and perhaps stay close to him with this new life she chose.

"Next stop: Shiganshina"

Historia almost gasped out loud when the driver announced their next stop, her face growing warm, and her heart beating faster than before.

To distract herself, she stood up to move towards Levi and Hanji, who were sitting more towards the front. Hanji was curled up against the window, sleeping, and snoring like a hibernating bear. Levi on the other hand, was sitting on the other side of the aisle, reading a book silently. Historia moved over to him, shyly.

"M-May I?" she squeaked out, gesturing to the free seat next to him.

Levi raised a brow but nodded, before looking back to his book. Historia sat down, shifting.

"I have a question… Is there a particular reason this tour is taking place?"

"I thought you were an expert," Levi replied a bit sarcastically, before looking back to Historia. "Today's the celebration of the fort's gods. The village believes that around dusk, when the Sun goes down behind the mountains, the gods rejoice into a celebration of union. Some believe that it messed up timelines and fates. People pray to the remaining of the fort and celebrate."

"Ohhh," Historia's eyes widened to that. "That… Sounds magical."

"Some say it is…"

Once they reached the destination, Historia walked out of the Bus slowly, feeling her legs tremble a little from all the excitement she was feeling. When she was out, she took a deep breath of that non-polluted air, and smiled as her bright blue eyes scanned the surroundings.

She recognized the Marketplace, the School… Everything! And up these hills... Armin's farm. Maybe once she found Eren, they could all go there!

I'm really here! Historia thought with a bright smile, feeling happy tears gathering in her eyes. But she didn't dwell too much on them. She needed to find Eren.

"Alright alright!" Hanji hummed, getting her small flag back. "We'll head to the old Castle."

"Uhm, Miss Hanji?"

Historia moved over to the woman shyly. "May I… Join you there later?"

Hanji just grinned with excitement, knowing what this was all about and nodded. "Go get him girl. Just make sure to meet up back to the train around 6pm."

Historia nodded with a thankful smile, and then walked off to the marketplace.

"Hi Eren! It's me! Historia! Oh-" Historia groaned to herself as she prepared herself for the fateful meeting. "Oh, Eren? You? Here? Crazy! No that's stupid."

While she was walking, she didn't realize that her legs automatically brought her to the café, and to Historia's big surprise, she saw how full the Café was, full of other tourists. She just HAD to pick the busiest day in the year.

Grasping all of her courage, she entered the café, hoping to have at least a seat at the bar.

"Table for one, Miss?"

A familiar voice caught her attention, and she turned around to see Jean smiling at her politely. Historia's lips curled into a bright smile, happy to see Mister Horseface.

"Yes, please."

"Follow me."

Jean lead her to a single table by the window. It was pretty small, and by the wall too, really designed for lonely people.

"Here you go, miss," Jean smiled, handing her the card for the drinks. "Would you like to eat too?"

"I'm not sure. I'll tell you."

"No worries. I'll check back later."

"Okay. Thank you Jean."

Jean blinked as Historia chirped out his name innocently. Okay so a beautiful foreign girl knew his name. That was flattering.

A little distraught, he went back to work, leaving Historia all happy and excited. Her bright blue eyes scanned the scene eagerly, trying to find Eren among all those servers.

But then Jean came back, and she ordered the famous 'Attack on Macchiato'. But right when Jean was about to leave, she asked:

"Uhm, is Eren here today?"

Jean's eye twitched a little when she mentioned the brunet. How did that beautiful girl know the annoying Jaegerbomb?

"No… Why?"

"Oh," Historia's shoulders slumped in disappointment. "Does he have a shift tonight?"

Jean looked utterly confused.

"What shift?"

"Well," Historia blinked. "Here?"

"Jaeger doesn't work here," Jean raised a brow, trying to not sound annoyed.

Historia's eyes widened to that. Eren didn't work here? But he did just a few days ago! And why was Jean so bitter with him? She thought they were on better terms now.

The blonde spent the rest of the afternoon wondering what in the gods' names happened here while she was gone. Everything seemed so... Different.

She left the Café with a sigh, trying to figure out what to do next. Where could Eren be? Should she go to the House? To Armin's?

The sound of music playing at the marketplace caught her attention. A group of teens were playing on a stage by the square, and to her great shock… She recognized a few faces.

On the stage, she recognized Connie playing the guitar, and… Was that Mikasa singing? She sounded so peaceful and calm, her voice was soothing and beautiful.

Historia moved over to the stage, digging her way through the crowd of people to get closer and have a better look. She stopped when she bumped into someone, gasping in shock and embarrassment.

"S-Sorry!"

"No worries."

The male replied casually before looking back to the performance, but Historia stood there, frozen in shock. That guy she bumped into… Was Eren!

It really was him! She recognized his short brown hair, his tanned skin, and those bright teal eyes. It was him. It really was. Strange. She pictured him a little bit taller.

Historia could feel her heart beat faster than ever as her eyes were transfixed on Eren, her expression flushed and her cheeks red. Now was the time.

"… Eren?" She called out softly, a small smile on her face.

Eren turned back to her, blinking with confusion. "Hm?"

"Uhm," Historia smiled nervously, pointing to herself. "It's me… Haha."

Eren stayed silent, eyeing her with an even more confused look on his face.

"… Who're you?"

Historia's eyes widened to his words, and she could feel her hopes and heart break into pieces to those words who changed everything in a matter of seconds.

Her expression dropped, and she stood frozen for a while before looking down, trying her best not to burst into tears. Why didn't Eren remember her? Was this really just a dream? What was happening?

"I... I'm sorry I-"

She couldn't finish her sentence, an eager teen rushed behind her, pushing her in the process. She thus landed involuntarily in Eren's arms as he managed to catch her in time. This caused her to become even more nervous. She looked back up to Eren, who had his lips moving and was looking down at her with a bit of worry. Was he talking? Historia couldn't focus right now.. She suddenly felt so heavy and confused.

But he IS Eren, Historia thought with determination as she eyed the boy holding her. How comes he… He doesn't remember?

The Blonde gulped, feeling her eyes water up with tears. She pulled back from Eren, looking down.

I'm so stupid. Why did I imagine that I deserved something great and better? He doesn't remember me… He doesn't care about me.

"I'm sorry," she breathed out, quickly moving from Eren and the crowd, tears starting to stream down her face. Eren watched her curiously, eyes following her rushed departure.

Weird girl, he thought, blinking as he turned back to watch the concert. But now he couldn't help but think about that beautiful Blonde…

Historia rushed to the train station to rejoin her group, whipping her tears away. Upon seeing how sad she was, Hanji felt sorry that her 'fateful lover reunion' didn't go well and hugged her, patting her tiny head. They all waited then patiently for the train with a few other tourists, which caused this small train station to look like a huge ant nest, all forming a giant crowd , and once again, Historia was squeezed in it.

Her heart broken, and feeling dejected that her start in new life failed, she didn't even notice the train arriving. As the group started to move to get inside, she found herself pushed by this wave of people, and accepted it, feeling too numb to fight.

Until…

"HEY! BLONDE GIRL!"

Some life immediately came back on her face as she recognized Eren's voice calling through the crowd, and she looked up. There he was… Running through the station and to the crowd. He was really here! He was looking for her!

Once he reached the crowd, he looked up, spotting Historia and called out: "WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

Historia's eyes widened in shock, but also relief. She gasped when the group just kept pushing forward, causing her to nearly walk backwards inside the train. So without thinking properly, she took her necklace and called out: "HISTORIA!"

Gathering all her strength, she took the necklace, and threw it above the crowd, directly to Eren. "MY NAME… IS HISTORIA!"

Just before she was pushed inside the wagon, she saw how Eren successfully caught her necklace, and was looking at her with a puzzled, yet also sad expression.

Historia rushed to the nearest window and looked outside to watch Eren looking through the windows, hoping to find Historia. Once the two were face to face, with just a glass separating them, Historia cracked a small smile, silent tears rolling down her cheeks as she eyed Eren with utter fondness. The brunet looked at her with some worry, and confusion. He didn't know what in the name of the gods he was doing here, or what this girl mean to him, but he felt so glad he got to have her necklace, and… She seemed to know him, very well. He didn't know why though.

He offered her a faint smile, and before the train drove off, he carefully hung the necklace around his neck, which made Historia release a breathy chuckle. He had her fateful thread, and she knew he was going to take great care of it.

I would never give it to anyone else, she thought, watching from the window how Eren was getting smaller and smaller as the train drove off. She then sunk in a seat, released a heavy sigh and letting happy tears fall from her eyes. This wasn't the reunion she expected but… Eren had her key necklace, her fate, and that's what mattered to her.
