I looked around at our field and everything was normal. Everything was easy. We didn't have to fight for our freedom, our rights to live. Instead, we were just laying out under the stars without a care in the world. I looked next to me at Levi who gave me the softest smile. His hand caressed my face. "Will you marry-" My eyes opened and I looked around at the dusty old building. It was still dark. I let out an annoyed sigh.

"One day babe," I heard Levi say as his hand came up to my cheek caressing it lightly before placing a kiss on my forehead. "It's nice to see how eager you are to spend the rest of your life with me."

"Of course I'm eager. It's the only thing I want more than this war to be over."

"I know, and I'm fighting like hell to make it happen."

"So am I," I said before getting out of bed and changing into some clean clothes, "now if you excuse me it's time to get everyone together to practice the plan for tonight's mission." It was still really early in the morning, but the more practice we can get in before the real mission the better.

We got ready for the long day ahead of us. We headed into the makeshift bathrooms. That Petra, Marco made when we first got here. Erwin helped teleport in some supplies from Auruo's contacts overseas and Petra and Marco made them actually work. I can't even wrap my head around how but man am I sure glad they did.

We finished in the bathroom before heading back to our rooms getting changed into our mission costumes. I was about to head out of the room to gather everyone together when I felt my feet lift off the ground.

"Oh no you don't," Levi sighed before plopping me back down on our bed. "You are putting your wraps and braces on. I am not getting chewed out by mom again," I heard him mumble.

"You're right," I laughed before watching him grab them. I put my arms out and let him wrap them. I winced when he pulled them tight.

"Sorry," he mumbled, loosening them a bit. He finished with the wraps and pulled the braces over velcroing them into place. "Done."

"Thanks babe," I said, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Who do you want to bother first?" he asked. I just gave him a devious smile and he rolled his eyes. "Why did I even bother asking."

We walked to Jean and Marco's room. I knocked on the wall and I heard a quiet "come in."

"Don't look so upset that they're awake," Levi remarked watching me pout a little.

We walked in and saw Marco was sitting up but Jean was still peacefully sleeping. Oh, he's still asleep. Perfect. I thought to Levi who just shook his head.

I gave Marco a nod and he slipped out of the bed and shook his head at me with a smile. "He's going to burn you alive," he whispered.

"It will be worth it," I mumbled back before standing at the end of his bed. "3...2...1," I counted down before bending my knees and jumping as high as I could before landing on him.

"Fucking hell Jeager," Jean groaned hoarsely trying to get air back in his lungs after I knocked it all out of him.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty," I said, giving him a big kiss on the cheek. Instantly I made myself float to the ceiling to make my great escape. I instantly started running to the door. I turned the corner and hid behind the wall letting my feet back down on the floor.

"You're fucking dead," he said throwing the covers off of him and that's when I realized he was only in his boxers. He stumbled out of bed and instantly tripped over some of the blankets. He hit the ground. When I heard the thud I poked my head back in the doorway as I felt the bright ball of heat fly past my head.

"You threw a fireball at me, you prick?" I yelled hiding back behind the wall making sure to stay out of the way in case he decided to do it again.

"You jumped on me!" He yelled back.

"Then I kissed you to make you feel better," I said with a shit-eating grin even though I knew he couldn't see it.

"Eat shit dickwad!"

"You first horse-face!"

"Alright babe," I heard Marco's voice cut through our yelling. "We have to get dressed."

Jean let out a long drawn out sigh, "Fine."

I walked back in and grabbed Levi's hand before giving Jean a smug smile and Marco a thankful nod. We walked out to get everyone else up and ready to practice. We headed to Armin's room next. He was already awake which wasn't much of a surprise he went to bed quite early last night. Dang so much for his wake up surprise.

He was already in the process of getting ready so we headed towards the teachers' rooms to check in with Hanji and Erwin. We went to Hanji first since we knew she was probably still sleeping and needed time to get ready.

We knocked and we heard some words, but none that made sense. We poked our head in her room and saw her still sleeping. "Hanji?" Levi gently whispered.

"I'm awake," she mumbled but when we looked at her she was practically still snoring.

"Are you sure?" He asked. There was no answer this time.

I couldn't help but laugh a little before Levi rolled his eyes and walked up to her. He tapped her on the shoulder and her head shot up and her eyes opened and she looked really out of it.

"What's up?" She asked, taking a deep breath and trying to act more awake than she really was.

"Time to wake up," Levi smiled.

"I am awake," she blinked trying to get her eyes to adjust, "I think," she sat up and let out a yawn.

"We are getting everyone together for mission practice so we need you to get ready and we're going to go wake Erwin," I said and she nodded.

"Alright," she was cut off by another yawn, "I'll get ready."

We left and headed to Erwin's room. He was awake when we knocked. He was sitting up in his bed but he looked like he just woke up.

"Are we doing the thingy with whatstheirface before the thing?" Erwin asked. He definitely wasn't awake yet.

Levi hesitated before giving him an answer wondering if what he asked actually made sense or not, "yes?"

"Okay, I'll get ready you guys run the thingy by whatstheirnames so they can monitor. They also asked whatsherface to help with training," he said letting out a yawn before getting up and stretching.

I just shrugged and headed out of his room. "Was I supposed to understand any of that?" Levi asked.

"Nope. Well let's go find Whatshisname and whatshisname," I laughed as Levi rolled his eyes. I started heading towards the common area since Pixis and Shadis are usually awake by this time. At least that's who I assumed Erwin was talking about. I have no clue what he was trying to say by the end of his rambling, but I'm sure Pixis and Shadis can fill me in.

We saw them talking at the tables that Petra and Levi used their powers to make. They seemed to be discussing something. Pixis looked up and when he saw us walking towards him he gave me a smile and stood up. They walked over to us. "Are you ready to start practice?"

"Yes."

"Alright, could you go make sure Sasha's ready, I spoke with her this morning and she offered to help you guys with your practice. We also have three other volunteers who offered to play the role of the prisoners." Pixis said. Ah, that must have been what Erwin was trying to say.

"Find Sasha and we will meet you at the course," Shadis said and we all went in separate directions.

The course was a section of the building that was underground. It used to be a two-story underground parking garage but it has since changed into a large one-story arena. Petra Levi and I would usually set it up to match the mission layout if we had it, but recently it's just been left as a vague layout with some obstacles around meant to represent buildings, cars, and other things that may be at the mission.

We didn't know much about where we were going aside from it about a mile away from the prison in a closed-off forest area that was pretty isolated from the rest of the town. All we knew is that this place is where they were supposedly switching transport vehicles and we are there to intercept the prisoners.

As we were heading to Sasha and Connie's room we actually ran into her on the way. "Oh, there you guys are. We are supposed to be heading to the course right?"

"Yeah, we were just coming to grab you," I said and she smiled.

"Well, I'm right here so let's go."

We made our way to the basement and everyone was sitting around. Pixis and Shadis had pulled were sitting in the small lookout tower we made so people could monitor the course and help point out things we could improve on.

"Everyone ready?" I got everyone to come in a little closer so I could go over the plan again. Everyone huddled together except for Sasha who prepared to fight against us. She walked farther into the course until she disappeared from sight. I quickly went over the plan before breaking the huddle. "Alright start," I whispered to our group.
