Chapter 3
The next day Stella, Preston, Hanji, Levi, Erwin, Eren, Petra, Mike, Armin, and Mikasa were in Levi's office trying to learn facts about the unusual couple.
"Okay before we answer any of your questions, what has been the most recent 'fight' the survey corps has been in?" Preston says putting his hand over his girlfriends mouth while stopping her from saying what she knows.
"We have just re-conquered Wall Rose and the 104th has joined our ranks," Erwin said sitting in Corporal Levi's chair at the desk.
"Okay we aren't that far in which means we need to be careful not to change anything even if we really want to ," Preston says quietly to Stella as he looks at her with a stern look. "I mean it."
"Okay okay, I won't do anything that would change the future," Stella says raising her hands. "Though I would love to see your titans!"
Preston smacks his forehead while Levi and Eren groaned but a excited glint appears in Hanji's eyes. "I would love to show you," Hanji says leading her out with Preston following behind with all the rest.
"If your girlfriend knows about how much Hanji can talk from our 'show' you say. Why ask her?" Armin asks while walking beside Preston.
"Oh trust me, they talk about the same amount maybe Stella will bore Hanji this time," Preston says shaking his head at the thought of his girlfriend out talking Hanji.
"I doubt that," Levi says walking behind them with Erwin beside him.
"You honestly don't know my girlfriend," Preston says sighing loudly making Armin look at him with a pitiful smile.
"We don't know either of you," Mikasa responds out of no where for the first time making Preston jump and look at her, as she walks next to Eren, nervously.
"How are you scared of her but not Corporal Levi?" Armin asks from beside him but all he does is shake his head.
"Omg omg I've never seen a real titan up close! I mean I have," Stella says then stops looking back at her boyfriend then turns back to Hanji. "But I haven't, they are so big! What would happen if I poke it?" Stella gets ready to touch it's neck but Preston quickly walks over and picks her by throwing her over his shoulder.
"Don't, you know exactly what would happen," Preston say while setting her down a few feet away.
"Party Pooper," Stella grumbles to herself while he chuckles.
"I like you," Hanji says pointing at Stella with a smile. "You are a very curious person, we have a lot in common."
"You have no idea," Preston grumbles quietly so no one hears it but Stella does and she punches his arm. Everyone looks at her strangely but she just smiles back at them.
Stella turns to the other survey corps and points to a few. "You are Mike and you are Petra correct, I can't remember everyone from the show," Stella says trying to be as little sarcastic as possible.
Mike just nods his head and Petra smiles saying, "Correct, it's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," Stella says faking a smile as Preston turns her away from team Levi quickly before she says something she'll regret.
"I don't like her," She whispers to her boyfriend but Corporal Levi, who's not that far away, is able to hear them.
"Stop, she's nice leave it alone," Preston protests as he smiles at Hanji so it looks like he's listening to her long speech about how she tests the titans.
"But she tries to take away Uncle Levi and she threatens Eren," Stella whines causing Preston to place his hand over his girlfriends mouth.
"Don't let anyone hear you. And I know you're angry I wasn't happy when I saw it either but that doesn't mean you can change anything. I've told you this already, and we can't warn them of what is to come because that would ruin everything that happens," Preston lectures her on what not to do while she rolls her eyes.
"Yes I know, certain people may live who were to have died and others may die who shouldn't have," Stella says sighing and shaking her head.
"Okay everyone get cleaning!" Levi yells once everyone heads inside. Everyone whines and complains but he doesn't listen. "If you don't clean I will force to myself." This got everyone else up and moving to clean the building.
"So, what should we do now?" Stella asks Preston as the start heading out of the room.
"You clean," Levi says walking up behind then handing Preston a broom and Stella a bucket full of water with a sponge in it. She starts whining about having to clean since they don't live there, which makes Preston laugh. "As long as you're under this roof and staying here you have to clean as well."
After hours of cleaning and a short, angry Levi it became dark outside. Everyone starts getting ready to sleep while Stella and Preston head out to the same area they were at the night before. They quickly start a fire and sit down enjoying a little quiet even if it was going to be short lived.
Behind them Hanji begins to drag Levi with her to go and listen to what they are talking about tonight. "Glasses, what are we doing outside?" Levi asks as she forces him behind the same bush from the night before. He looks over to see the couple just sitting there. "What are those brats doing out here, it is time for them to get to bed!" Levi says about to go and yell at them for being up but Hanji stops him.
"Just listen," Is all Hanji says making Levi sigh and listen.
"Okay I am going to rant, well kinda," Stella says abruptly while standing up which causes her boyfriend to laugh.
"Okay I'm listening," Preston says looking at her with loving eyes making Levi roll his.
"Hanji...is exactly the same," Stella says while laughing making Hanji look at her intuitively. "I mean I knew she ranted and talked on and on about random things but I have never heard her talk that much. She knows so much about so many things I'm kinda jealous really. I'm not too good at school though sports are pretty easy I would say."
"Hey don't beat yourself up, you're amazing," Preston says summoning her to walk to him and she obliged. She sighs loudly sitting in his lap and hugging him around his neck.
"I miss mom, dad, and Ben," Stella says sadly resting her head on Preston's shoulder.
"Then why don't we go home? It's not like we came here with a real purpose other than just coming here," Preston says hugging her tightly.
"I mean I want to stay here a while longer and we can't really leave," Stella says looking away from her boyfriend.
Stella sighs before continuing, "Well, after our last jump from where I had to save you the watch shut off. I mean I was able to turn it on but the teleporting property of the watch won't work," Stella says making Preston gasp while Hanji covers her mouth with her hand.
'Those poor kids are stuck here now," Hanji thinks staring at the couple.
"So all it does now is tell time from our world," Stella says laying her face in the crook of Preston's neck and softly crying. Then out of no where a voice fills the silence around them.
"Ryan, move I am talking first! Sonny Veronica Jackson! Where are you?" The voice rings out making Stella laugh through her tears looking at the watch.
"Right here, mom," Stella says smiling with tears still rolling down her face.
