Friendly reminder that Eren and Levi speak Japanese, and not English in this story. I do know Japanese, but not enough to write everything they say in Japanese. So their quotes will be English, but picture them speaking Japanese. Hahah.

Levi's POV.

Never have I ever thought that I could sleep so good, and long. I feel like I've been sleeping for years, the way my back needed a good popping. My neck felt stiff as hell, and I'm surprised I could even move it to the side. But as I moved my neck, I didn't feel the familiar feeling of my pillow or the feeling of my comfortable chair I often fell asleep on. I felt something hard, and crunchy. It almost sounded like leaves.

But why the hell would I be laying on leaves?

But then it struck me. Aren't I dead? Is this what hell feels like, or is this what heaven feels like? I thought people said heaven was supposed to be magical; I'm not feeling anything magical. And isn't hell supposed to be a burning fire pit? It's not even hot, I'm a actually pretty cold.

I didn't feel dead, but I didn't feel all too alive either. I still had my eyes shut, and I was almost a bit afraid to open them. What would I see? Would I see a deep pitch of blackness? Or would I see something beautiful, begging to amaze me? I wasn't exactly wanting to see the latter, so I didn't want to take the chance and seeing that instead of something beautiful. But I couldn't just lay here with my eyes shut, and keep on thinking that I'm dead.

I then began to try my best to pry my eyelids open. It felt like 30 pounds to lift, due to having them close for what seemed like years now. As soon as they opened not even a half an inch, I wanted to claw my eyes out and scream in pain. A bright, blinding light struck my eyes. It felt like my eyes were being stabbed by millions of needles, just begging to blind me.

Was that the sun? No way; the sun has never been that bright. If it wasn't the sun, then what was it? Was it heaven, and supposed to be something pretty? Then why was I feeling so much pain? Maybe I was in hell.

I felt my fingernails dig deep into my palms as I tried once more to open my eyes, but with much pain again. The bright light struck my eyes again, but I tried my best to over come the pain. It's just a little eye pain, I know I have been through much more pain than this.

Finally, my eyes adjusted to the horrible light, and I discovered that it was in fact a sun. It was trying it's very best to shine through the trees and get to me, but alas, no avail. I silently made fun of the sun, as it couldn't get to me and blind me.

I then discovered that I was in a huge area of woods. I could hear the settling sound of flowing water close by, and the nice sound of the wind blowing the leaves on the trees. All of these relaxing sounds would have just about made me lie down and rest again, but I couldn't. I was laying in the middle of the woods, and I could be in much danger right now. It wouldn't take but a second for a Titan to run over and eat me in one snap.

I could feel my heart slightly start to pound in my chest at the thought of a Titan stomping towards me, and attacking behind my back. I knew then that I had to stand up.

I slowly stood up, and finally succeeded. I got to take another quick look around, and saw no sign of a Titan. But that didn't mean they weren't around. I sighed, and looked down at my attire. I was in the survey corps uniform, but no 3DMG gear. I huffed; looks like I have nothing to defend myself with.

I decided to try and get out of the woods. Maybe I could then find out where I really am that way. But just as I started walking, something caught my eye. Or maybe I should say someone.

There was a body laying not too far from me. They were wearing the survey corps uniform as well, but without the gear, too. Their face was covered with the cloak's hood, hiding their face from me. I kneeled beside the body, first checking to see if there was a pulse. Luckily, there was. Slowly, I slid the hood down from the face, and my eyes widened once I saw it was the face of Eren. I thought for damn sure he had died...

"Jaeger." I said sternly, shaking his shoulder. "Idiot, get up."

His eyes began to flutter open, but quickly shut once he saw the sun; just as I had. I decided to kneel in front of him, blocking the sun from his view.

"Open your eyes, Jaeger."

He groaned, scrunching his nose up. "Too bright." I rolled my eyes, raising my hand up and smacking him across the face. He squealed, sitting up quickly, rubbing his cheek. "What was that for?!"

I scoffed and stood up. He shielded his eyes with his hands from the sun, trying to get used to the brightness. "We need to get out of the woods."

"Where are we?" He asked, looking around him.

"Maybe if you got up and walked with me, we'll find out." I said, rolling my eyes.

Eren quickly stood up, standing beside me. "Yes, sir."

We started walking south, hoping this could be a direction where we could quickly get out of the woods. It was all quiet, besides the annoying sounds of leaves and sticks breaking under our boots.

"Corporal, what happened?" Eren asked.

"What do you mean, Jaeger?"

"I don't remember even going into the woods..."

I clenched my teeth, trying to remember what the hell happened as well. From what I remember, everyone died. Everyone as in Eren and I as well. But we obviously weren't dead, which is what I was so confused about.

"I don't know." I answered honestly. I wasn't going to lie to the kid and sugarcoat it. "We may be in big shit, Jaeger."

I saw him hold in his breath, but nodded. "Can I just say, Corporal," he started, glancing at my face. "You look a lot different than what I remember you looking like."

I looked at him, furrowing my eyebrows. "Nonsense. Nothing has changed. Except maybe you're a little more annoying."

"No, I mean it. I don't know, you just look different."

"That's enough, Jaeger. Let's focus on getting out of here." I ordered him. I was getting uncomfortable with the topic of me looking different. Why would I look different? Do I look dead? Because I could understand that, since I remember getting chewed on from a 50 meter Titan. I sure didn't feel dead, though. Actually, I felt more alive than I ever had. I don't have that annoying cramp in my leg that I've had for months now, back when I saved Eren from that stupid, annoying female Titan. He still owes me for that.

"Sir, do you hear that?" He asked suddenly, shaking me from my thoughts.

I had the two of us stop walking. I listened carefully, and heard an annoying buzzing noise coming from at least half a mile away. "Come on."

I had us jog towards the noise, and finally found the end of the woods, but was greeted with something I definitely wasn't expecting.

"What are those?" Eren asked, looking amazed with the view.

I furrowed my eyebrows, and stared at the view. I wasn't sure if it a good view, or a disgusting one. "I have know idea..." There were objects with wheels riding on pavement. They reminded me of carriages that I've ridden in before, but these looked completely different; they were bright colors, and some dull colors and they were quiet, but had an annoying beeping noise coming from them every now and then. They're some odd transportation object. Why aren't they just riding horses? They're so much easier to ride, instead of these creepy looking things. "Some kind of transportation object." I attempted to answer Eren's question. I was asking myself the same thing.

Eren scoffed. "I'd rather ride horses." Me too, Eren. Me too. "What the hell are those big things?"

He was pointing to huge buildings. But they didn't look anything like the buildings we had back in the walls. These buildings were taller, and had multiple windows, and odd designs on them. They were eye catching to say the least, but for me, not in a good way. They were taking up a huge amount of good land. They probably had to take down multiple amounts of trees to make this ugly city.

I shook my head, not liking this. "Nothing good."

"Let's go check it out!" He said excitingly, pulling at my cloak. When I didn't move, he looked back at me and dropped his grip on my cloak. "If that's okay, corporal."

Sighing, I gave in and nodded and started walking to the loud area of the bright city. As much as I liked the woods better, with the pretty autumn leaves, we couldn't stay there forever. Even though there seems to be no sign of Titans anywhere, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

As we got closer, I started to see other people walking on sidewalks. But they looked different. Their hair was styled weird, and they dressed completely different. They looked like freaks. Some of them wore bright, eye annoying colors of clothing, while I saw others wearing all black, with hair about 2 feet tall. Now that's ugly.

As we got to the sidewalk, we decided to just follow them and see where it would take us. After hearing other people talk, I noticed something different. "Jaeger."

"Hmm?" He responded, happily. He looked happy to be in such a weird place.

"They aren't speaking Japanese. They're speaking a different language..."

Eren furrowed his eyebrows, and focused on hearing someone talk. "You're right."

"Where the hell are we." I muttered, not liking this. This doesn't feel right at all.

"Maybe we can find someone who speaks Japanese?" He suggested.

"Do you see anyone who even looks like they speak Japanese? Everyone here looks like freaks." I hissed, looking all over the place, just in case this was a trap. I felt like someone was going to pounce right behind us and catch us by surprise.

"Corporal." Eren said, putting his hands on my shoulders, making me stop moving. "Calm down. Nothing bad is happening. Look, I think I saw something like this in Armin's book. The language, anyway. I think they're speaking English or something."

"English? The fuck is that?" I asked, glaring at some boy as he looked at Eren and I oddly.

"It's a different language. Some people speak differently than Japanese. Now can you do me a huge favor and stop moving and shaking?" He said, looking at me sternly. It was then when I realized I was in fact shaking. I took a deep breath, and slowly started to stop shaking. I needed to step up and get back into control, and be the stronger one out the two of us.

I nodded towards Eren, my way of thanking him. "If they speak... English or whatever, where are the Japanese speakers?"

He shrugged. "Maybe we'll find someone who speaks it. Come on, we can't stand here for ever and expect someone to just step up to us and just start speaking Japanese."

I slowly agreed, and walked with him farther up the sidewalk. Even though I felt everything but comfortable here, everything was neat to look at. Everything just looked different. Though, the annoying sound of the objects on the pavement was agitating and made me want to stop everyone of them from moving.

"Gross, something smells awful." I said, scrunching my nose up.

"It's food." Eren said, pointing to a cart that was on the sidewalk. A tall man was messing around with food.

"That looks like a dick." I muttered, motioning towards the food he was cooking. It was brown and long. I watched as he put it in a long piece of bread, squirting white and red liquid on it. "Oh my god, what is that?"

Eren chuckled, stepping up towards the man. The man smiled at Eren and gave him the breaded dick. I heard the man mutter a word that sounded something like "hot dog." What an odd title. Eren bowed his head towards the man, a way of thanking him. The tall man gave Eren an odd look but shrugged it off. What was so weird about that?

"Taste it." Eren said, after he took a small bite from it. "It's actually really good."

I glared at this... Hot dog, thinking not twice about this, but at least six times. After a minute, and no sign of foam bubbling out from Eren's mouth, I decided it might be safe to eat, and I grabbed it from Eren's hands. I took a bite from it, and chewed it. My eyebrows raised slightly at the taste. After I finished my bite, I answered Eren's impatient look. "Not bad."

"See? No danger here, sir." Eren said, looking smug. He finished off the hot dog.

Rolling my eyes, I continued to walk down the side walk. A girl with black, short hair was walking towards us, in front of us. "Hey, she looks like she could speak Japanese." I said, motioning towards the tall woman.

"I'll try." Eren said, stoping the lady with a smile. "Anata ga Nihongo o hanasu nodesu ka？" He asked if she spoke Japanese, and her eyes lit up, and she nodded.

Eren looked back at me and smirked. I rolled my eyes. He now thinks he's cool shit because he found someone. The three of us decided to go in a building and talk. I heard the lady saying this place was called Starbucks, and they were famous for selling coffee.

We sat down at a booth, Eren beside me and the girl in front of me. I had a cup of what she called Mocha Cappuccino in front of me, waiting to be sipped at. I was more of a tea guy...

"This is going to sound weird, but where are we?" I asked the girl. She smiled sweetly. She folded her hands together on the table.

"America. You're in Indianapolis in Indiana." She answered. "Never been to America before, I assume?"

I shook my head, looking at my cup of coffee. The steam was coming from the small hole in the cap, and it felt great on my freezing face. What was so special about Indiana? Looks like it's nothing but hills, fields and tall buildings.

"We don't know how we got here." Eren put in, sipping at his Carmel latte. "We woke up in the woods."

She looked at Eren for a moment, thinking of a response. Maybe she didn't believe Eren? "How old are you two? Neither of you look a day over 16 or so." Eren nodded and smiled.

Wait, 16? I knew Eren was a young kid, but this girl said both of us. I've always had people say I looked young for 34 years old, but not as young as 16. I gave Eren a look from the side of my eyes, and raised an eyebrow. He gave me a look, as if telling me not to say anything. Normally, I would have pushed him to the side and get to the point, but something told me not to do that. And I didn't, and I kept my mouth closed, and waited for the girl to continue.

"Did you two drink a lot last night or something?" She whispered, and that's when I got pissed off.

"Do we look like we could just go into the woods and get so drunk, we don't even know what country we're in?" I asked, raising an eyebrow towards her.

She raised her hands up in defense. "It's a possibility that, that could be the case. Now days, I've seen people get so drunk they don't even remember who they are, and ended up spending the night in a house that didn't even belong to them, claiming that it's their house."

Was alcohol that strong? I haven't had a glass of alcohol in forever, yet it never even effected me that much.

"Who are you?" I finally asked, folding my arms across my chest.

"My name is Kira." She answered, smiling. "What's your names?"

"Eren Jaeger." Eren replied.

She looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"Levi." I muttered. "Just Levi."

She clapped her hands suddenly, making me jump. Why was this girl so happy all the time? "Well then Eren, and Just Levi! Looks like we're going to be great friends. Would you guys like my phone number?"

Eren and I stared at Kira for the longest moment, not even knowing how to reply to such a question. What the flying hell is a phone number?

"What?" Eren asked, dryly chuckling.

"Phone number...?" She said, confused. "You've never heard of a phone number?" Eren and I shook our heads and she sighed. "Oh well. You guys seem like you need somewhere to stay. Why don't you two come stay at my place? I have a guest room that has never even once had one guest stay in! Come on!" She exclaimed, happily as she threw our coffee cups into the waste basket. Eren and I slowly stood up from the seat, cautiously following behind Kira.

She suddenly stopped as she looked back at up. "Actually, question. What are you two wearing?" She giggled, looking at our attire.

I furrowed my eyebrows, getting annoyed with that damn giggle of hers. "What are you wearing?" I shot back. She was wearing a bright blue sweater, a short black skirt, with stockings that had a creepy cat on them below the knee, and wearing black combat boots. What kind of style is that?

She rolled her eyes. "Clothes. You guys look like you're wearing a dress with that huge coat thing on. And what's those straps for? Some kind of kink you two have?" She laughed, gesturing towards the leather harness Eren and I wore. Why was this such a weird style for these people to see? They're the ones that look like freaks. They're showing off way too much skin.

"Our survey corps uniform." Eren answered, opening his cloak a bit to let her see the tan jacket and the green shirt he wore. He showed her the two wings, and pointed towards them. "That's the Wings Of Freedom. Ever heard of it...?" He wondered, and made a confused face when she muttered a no. "Well that's a first." He muttered.

"Wait." I said suddenly, two and two coming together in my mind. "What year is this?"

Kira smirked, laughing. "It's 2015, silly." And with that, she turned around and accidentally knocked a coffee down from a guy who holding the cup. She quickly helped clean it up.

My eyes widened as far as they could possibly go, and I turned to Eren who wore a similar expression. We both had the same response. "What the fuck..."

Oh my god you guys, I'm so excited for this story. You have no idea. I wrote this so quickly because I was having such an amazing time writing this. I think this is the first story I've had this much fun with.

Also, I chose for them to be in Indiana, because I live there and I know the most about the state haha.

I hope you all like this idea, and the story. Thank you for reading!
