Mother:" How about you come for supper with us tonight?"

Emilia & Me:"eh?"

Mother:" why don't you also bring your friends along too?"

Emilia:"MOM, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!"

Mother:"What? I just want to get to know the people that saved my daughters. Anyways, Finn, was it?"

"Yes, Ma'am?"

Mother:" He's got manners too, would you like to come? I'll make the best supper you will ever eat in your life."

"I'll think about it with my friends."

Mother:"Perfect, how old are you son?"

"I'm 17 Ma'am."

Mother:"Wonderful! My daughter is 16.

Emilia:" MOM!!"

"You're 16? You look 14."

Emilia:"Huh!? You look 20! And what's with the clothes! I've never seen this kind of clothes!"

Mother:" Emilia... I didn't know you looked at him that way...*sob"

Emilia:"IM NOT!!"

"Anyways, I think I should get going."

Mother:" the supper will be ready around 7 solar time."

"Solar what? Oh, I get it. We will be there."

Mother:" How many are your friends?"

"We are five together Ma'am."

Mother:" great! The more the merrier! Adieu, go Emilia, get yourself ready! We have 3 hours!"

Emilia:" I'm going mom, stop pushing!"

Mother:" See you in a bit!"

The front door closed... What the hell just happened? I get slapped and then get invited to dinner by the same person... The guys are gonna laugh at me.

"I guess I should tell the guys about this, this has been one heck of a day."

I slumped my shoulders and start walking back to the Jäger.

(5 minutes later)

Marco:" Guys! Finn is back!"

"I'm back."

Arran:"How did it go? Why you look so tired?"

Peter:"Why is your cheek red?"

Lucas:"Finn, don't tell me you tried doing something to her?"

" I did not! Anyways, have y'all eaten?"

All of them shook their heads.

" Well we got invited to dinner, let's find a place where we can clean ourselves up."

Marco:" Just what happened?"

"I'll tell you when we find a place to shower."

After 30 minutes of looking around, we found a small stream that veered off away before getting to town. While we were getting our selves clean and presentable, I told them everything that happened from me getting slapped across the face to us being invited to dinner.

Lucas:" So you weren't trying to do anything to the girl? Here I thought you had grown a little bit in your confidence."

"Do you want to get tackled? Anyways, clean your shoes, you have a reputation of stepping on places that you are not supposed to step on."

Lucas:"Yes mom."

I look at Lucas with an annoyed face and he quickly goes back to what he was doing.

Arran:" This water feels amazing, is it because we haven't showered in days?"

Peter:"Maybe, Hey Finn?"

"What is it?"

Peter:" When is that thing?"

"She said at 7, but I don't know wether to be there by or after."

Arran:"What time is it?"

Marco:" it's... 5:45."

Arran:" We have around 1 hour, what do we do then?"

" I think we should first feed Choco, It wouldn't be polite to bring her."

Marco:" Since we have time, why don't we get something different for her to eat?"

Peter:" Marco is right, she has been eating tasteless MREs ever since we were sent to the Soviet front."

" Alright, we will fetch something from the forest, it's not like we can go to town."

Lucas:" Why not? It's right there.

Marco:" We don't have money, and we don't know what to give them. We need to learn more about this place."

Arran:" I'm done, Peter, when you finish come with me. We going hunting, or at least find meat."

Peter:"Ok."

30 minutes later, both of them came back with what looked like a squirrel. We started a fire and Arran got to skinning the animal, while the squirrel or whatever it was, was being cooked. Choco was crying inside, Lucas brought her out and didn't waste any time eating the thing.

"What time is it Marco?"

Marco:"It's.. 6:50."

"Let's put Choco back inside and let's go"

We drove back near the gate and hid Jäger in some foliage, after making sure nobody could see it or get inside, we then went through the Main Street to Emilia's house. It was a rather unpleasant walk due to people looking at us and whispering to each other about us, to make it worse, Lucas was getting annoyed and was attempting to talk back but we managed to keep him in check.

"We're here."

I knocked on the door, but when I did, I heard something inside break and heard panicked yelling.

Lucas:" what the hell is going on in there?"

Arran:"Beats me."

A little after, the mother opened the door.

Mother:" Hello, are these your friends?"

"Yes,Ma'am."

Mother:"Come in come in, Emilia is almost ready. Go ahead and sit at the table, my husband won't take long till he gets here. In fact he should almost be here."

The door opened behind us, and a rather brawny tall man walked in.

Father:"Who in the world are you people? Why are you in my house?"

Mother:" Don't mind them sweetheart, I invited them for dinner."

Father:"Why though? We don't usually invite people."

Mother:" While Emilia was getting the weekly herbs, she was attacked by terrahounds and these gentlemen saved here and Nana."

The Father's eyes grew wide with shock and looked to us.

Father:"My, where are my manners? Come in, my house is your house. How old are you son?

Mother:"He's 17 Will, he has very good manners too."

Will:"My goodness, what is it that this boy doesn't have?"

Lucas:" He doesn't have confidence with girls."

I elbow Lucas in the gut and he almost falls to the floor.

"Where can we put our hats Ma'am?

Will:" I'll take them, whoa! What are these made out of? The fabric is not too soft nor hard and the craftsmanship is impressive! Are you nobles?"

Peter:" Nobles? No, we aren't nobles. "

Mother:" You're not nobles? But how come you have such clothes and shoes?"

Marco:" This is standard issued uniforms, we are former soldiers."

Will:" Wait, don't tell me you are traitors."

Arran:"No, We're not, it's just some complications happened that we had no control over."

They both look at us in confusion, we need to change the topic quick.

"What do you work as sir?"

Will:"Me? I'm the civil guard chief."

Marco:" You're in charge of keeping the city safe?"

Will:"Yes , you see this city isn't called Waltzington for nothing. It is located in an important highway that connects every city, if it were to fall, this country would be doomed."

Mother:"Enough chatter, food is ready. Emilia take this to the table."

Emilia:" On it."

When she came out, she was wearing a rather flashy dress, but modest. It went right with her eyes that were bright with a hue of orange.

Lucas:"(Finn, why are you staring at her?)"German

"(I wasn't)"

Marco:"(Why do you make it so obvious?)"

Arran:"(You're pitiful,Finn)"

"(I wasn't!)"

After a little bit, we sat down and started eating. It was quite delicious, we were served something that tasted like deer. The vegetables were steamed, and the drinks tasted like apple. We introduced ourselves, the parent's names were Wilhelm and Klara. They asked us about how all of us met, we gave them an over simplified and altered version of how we met. It went on like that for 30 more minutes until we realized that half of the ones in the table were struggling to keep their heads up and Nana was long gone. We decided to return back to the Jäger, the made our goodbyes and left. When we got back everyone crashed in their seats.

Marco:" I feel like I'm gonna explode."

Lucas:"She really wanted us to eat everything."

Arran:"And we did."

Peter:"We haven't eaten that much since the honor ceremony."

"New orders, everyone go to sleep."

All:"Verstanden."

We all crashed into a deep sleep we didn't want to wake up from.

(3 Kilometers south of Waltzington)

(A place along the Valkarian empire and United Federation border)

Soldier:"General, the troops are ready."

General Kraos:" Good, we shall cut communications within those federalist, we shall attack Waltzington tomorrow night."

Soldier:"Yes General."

General Kraos:" Oh, and don't forget our secret weapon."

Soldier:"Understood."

General Kraos:" It's time we remove the Federation from the map."

Hi! Enjoying the story? If so please give me feed back. It will help me improve this story, I have helicopter parents so I almost lost my phone (again). I told her I was just writing, and she let me go and it's the first time I got out of it snot free. This is the end of chapter 4, thank you for coping with my terrible narrative skills. Thank you!
