Chapter 20: Airport
Everyone
Ymir's POV
"Heh, we're here earlier than expected." I say as we walked into the lounge where we were meeting up our group- as they called it, the Blue group. We were the first ones here.
Historia punches me, "Come on, Ymir. Let's wait for the seniors-"
"Waiting for seniors? Please. Anyways, you wanna grab something to eat?"
She nods, "'Yeah. I want some... um... maybe some sandwiches- or a bit of iced coffee."
"Coming up, milady." Since we signed up to be roommates, of course it's gonna a fun time here. Something about those other kids in our group... they sounded familiar... heh, what who am I kidding? Just some random thoughts in my lesbian head. Nothing more...

Hanji's POV
"Now... since all three of us seniors are here-" I started as we were walking to the area for our gate. Levi was standing really close to my right side, while Erwin was staying on my left, slowly catching up.
He rolls his eyes, "And look." Erwin points out to the area, only showing a couple people. "Only a few. What do you expect? They're not gonna be here on time."
Sighing, I went over to the people there. And surprisingly, I saw the same kid from the first day of school... not only he caught my eye... but he looked so similar... his brown hair and green eyes... it's like I had him in one of my projects, but the only time I knew him was when there was that huge fight in the courtyard.
"Well, let's do the best we can do right now, Erwin. Levi, can you please-"
"Get lunch? Hanji, I know you like the back of my hand, okay?" He says, walking over to the nearest food stall that was near.
"Thank you, clean~freak!" I shouted after him as we approached the group. "Now... may I have your attention?" Asking nicely wasn't gonna work now... so, I stared them down, raising my voice, just enough to scare them. "Listen here!"
They all stared at me in confusion, and that boy... the one boy I saw, looked at me. Like I was a nightmare or something. "Y-You..."
"I'm what?"
"I-I had a dream about you..."
Disgusted, I raised my voice even more. "Excuse me?!"
He shrinks back. "No... like my nightmares! P-Please don't cut my limbs off! Please don't!" He cries, moving back into his chair. The girl next to him, which kinda reminds me of Levi, holds her arm, protectively over the boy. "Don't hurt me!"
Chuckling softly, I think I scared him enough... "I'm just here to help take attendance, okay? Now... Eren?"
The boy who shivered when I spoke, raised his hand. "H-Here..."
I smiled, "I'll remember your name... Mikasa?"
"Here." The girl that looked like Levi raised her hand. Huh... they both share last names... Ackerman. Are they related? If so... Levi would've told me in the first place that he had a cousin or someone like her.
"Armin." A boy next to Eren raised his hand. Man, he was so quiet... "Got it... um, Annie?"
"Here." A girl with a cold voice responds to me as she raised her hand. For some reason, I should feel a deep hatred towards her or something... but I didn't have anything.
"Reiner."
"I'm here! I'm with Bertholdt!" Says a boy with a short hair cut, blonde hair and blue eyes. His arm was wrapped protectively around the shy, tall guy. I'm telling you... they must be a couple. But still... I have a deep hatred for them as well... why?
Nodding, I checked both their names off. "Uh, Ymir?"
"Yo." I turn to see a girl, same thing, I hated her...
"Historia?"
"Here!" When I looked at her, it felt that I was looking at a queen... powerful. She must've have that Ymir girl under her hand.
"Jean."
"Here!" Oddly enough, I met him on the first day as well... when they were starting that fight...
"Marco." Heh... those names sounded cool together...
A boy with noticable freckles raised his hand, "Heyo!"
"Sasha?" No one spoke. "Okay then... Connie?" Nothing again.
"Oi, who's missing?" I turned to see Levi giving me coffee. In his other hand, he probably held his usual black tea.
Chuckling, I smiled and answered him. "Aside from Petra and Oluo, Connie and Sasha are missing."
"Tch."
Erwin taps on my shoulder. "We need to inform them soon. We'll departure soon... and if that happens-"
My stares must've been enough to silence him. For a strong guy with powerful, almighty eyebrows, he surrendered to me. "We will deal with that soon. Trust me, we'll be fine."
He grumbles, "Whatever. I'm calling them-"
"Tch, we can cross those four people off the list."
I turned around, seeing Petra and Oluo running over with a redheaded girl and a bald boy, holding hands. A smile grew on my face, "Petra! Oluo! You made it!"
She pants as she collapses onto me. "Hey... Hanji... we're... not late, are we?" She asks as she pants between her words.
Smiling, I helped her to her feet. "You guys are just in time." I say, checking their names off the list. "So, you must be Sasha."
The reddish hair girl nodded, "Yeah, I'm Sasha."
"Connie's my name." The bald boy says, winking at me. Couldn't help but shiver. I didn't like the way how he winks at me... maybe it was because he was a freshmen... or that he has a girlfriend next to him.
Smiling, everyone was here. Miche wasn't part of our group, since he was with Nanaba and Moblit... it wasn't fair, knowing that Erwin gets his own room. But, he was our leader. "Alright. Plane's leaving in... 5 minutes. Let's get ready to go soon."

Armin's POV
"Eren... what was that?" I asked as Eren slowly recovered from his living nightmare.
He shook his head, "I remember her from one of my nightmares... I remember being in a cell? To be honest, it looks more like a dungeon. In my dreams, she would carry an one-sided blade. She would smile, saying how it wouldn't hurt- but it did. I felt my arm being chopped off and she observed it."
Cringing at the details of Eren's nightmares... it felt too real to be a nightmare... was it a past memory of his? "Oh..."
"So, seeing her here and threatening me... I'm afraid that she would act like what happens in my nightmares! Can't you see?! I'm terrified of her!"
Mikasa looks at him, her hand on his. "There there..." Somehow, I never heard her voice go down that softly. "I'll make sure that she won't lay a hand on you, understand? I'll kill her-"
"N-Now now, Mikasa. We're not gonna kill her... she has so much power over us."
She then stares me, "Yeah right."
Then, on the P.A. the announcer speaks. "The plane at Gate 241 will now be accepting passengers now. I repeat, the plane at Gate 241 will now be accepting passengers."
Grabbing my small duffel bag, I begged them to come. "Let's go. It's gonna be a long 10 hours there."

Levi's POV
Anything but a plane. I would be fine if we took a boat- but no! The plane was a better idea. I hated the way the plane moves when turbulence happens and all that. Hated the fear that you can crash in the plane.
My hands shivered as we took a seat in our assigned seats. Hanji didn't want to see out the window, so I sat there. Opening it, I saw the bright sun, shining high. I hear her familiar chuckle, "Nervous, are we?"
I turned to face her, she hid her chuckle, but her sparkling eyes gave everything away. "Shut it, four-eyes."
She giggles, dang her giggles makes me feel so good... upon hearing that, all my fears disappeared. "Don't worry, I'm here."
Then, I leaned onto her shoulder, sighing deeply. "You don't mind if I take a nap, do you?"
She chuckles, "I don't mind at all."
"Good. For your information, I don't snore, at all."
"You're cute in every other way."
My head rose from her, "Cute? Hanji, I'm not cute-"
"Ooh, that right... you're a bad boy. You're supposed to be all grumpy and hateful, and-"
Leaning back down, I chuckle softly at her, "I get it. Now please, I need to rest."
My eyes became heavy as I closed them. "Good night, shorty." I didn't have the strength to shout or insult her... so, I left it as it was. Her insulting me as I slept. It was gonna be a long trip there.

Reiner's POV
Sitting on the plane... felt very very weird. I didn't want to be up here, like it was a fear of mine. Couldn't stop shaking, though I never rode on a single plane in my life. I looked over, seeing Bertholdt being the same.
My hand reaches for his, and as usual, he was a bit jumpy. "Heh, calm down, Bert. Jeez, you're a rabbit, jumping at every danger that surrounds you."
He starts to scratch his head, "Heh... I'm no bunny, more like... a giraffe."
"But... you're cute as a bunny, Bert. Heh, Bertie the Bunny."
"Reiner!"
"What? It matches with you so well..."
"Reiner, don't do it." His intense eyes looks at me, and I sighed.
"It was a good nickname while it lasted..." I say, as he falls asleep immediately. Chuckling softly, I only hope that he wouldn't accidentally unbuckle and falls asleep in one of those weird poses that he makes.
Why did I fear going to the island? As we take off... it felt, uneasy, knowing we're going to an island on a plane... why?

Annie's POV
Since I wanted to sit at the window, Armin sat on my right, where the window was on my left. I never been on an airplane, but it sure did scare the heck out of me. I leaned against Armin, looking outside.
"Armin..."
He kisses my cheek, "What's wrong, Annie?"
"I'm... scared..."
He takes my hand, squeezes tightly, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Smiling, I knew I could trust him. "Thank... you..." I felt the jolts as we took off, and I squeezed Armin's hand so hard, I was afraid that I may have hurt him. But he endured it. Man... I'm glad that I have him as my boyfriend...
