12 (11) Friendship over a fight?

Waking up to the sun rising over the walls, Aria got up and changed into a simple shirt and semi-short skirt. She next walked into the next room to wake up the 3 who were still sleeping. Slamming her fist into the wall, a slight crack appeared, but wasn't noticeable. Mikasa, Armin and Eren heard it and opened their eyes.

Mikasa was the first one to get up while the 2 boys were lazy and didn't get up. "Oi, you 2. We have to be by the training camp by noon, were already late of you don't get up." Mikasa chimed in and dragged Eren up while Armin rubbed his eyes and slowly looked around.

...

Running though the town, the 4 of them found the carriage that was going to take them to the barracks. There were already hundreds of people there waiting to get on. Looking around, many people seemed excited or shacking from nervousness. Aria also noticed 2 people in the first carriage. A blonde boy who seemed quite muscular and a tall lanky person sitting next to him. "Isn't that Reiner and Bertholdt, however i don't see Annie." While she was staring, a blonde girl walked passed and entered the carriage in front of her. Seeing Annie, she got excited and followed.

Seeing no space by Eren, she quickly sat down next to Annie. silence was all that followed. Still with a straight face, she looked over to Annie and tried to start a conversation. "Hi, Im Aria Westwood. Whats yours?"

Annie slowly turned her head and said "Annie Leonhart" without saying anything else, she turned back and sat in silence. 'Well, that went well' Sighing, Aria turned back and begun thinking about the next few years training. 'I wonder how the ODM gear works, fighting against Titans while flying through the sky. Well, ill find out sooner or later.'

After arriving, they were sent to register their names collect their new uniforms and get changed. In the female changing room, Aria saw Christa (Historia), Yimir, Annie, Mikasa and sasha. All of them were changing, this didn't escape the eyes of Aria, Secretly watching everything. She was having a great time, watching them get changed and trying to fit in their new uniform.

'A sight to behold'

...

After a few days of introductions, they finally started training. The chief instructor, Keith Shadis ordered the 104th training corps to start running around the surrounding forest. This lasted everyday for the rest of the training camp. The next thing they started on was combat on the ground. Training with wooden knifes wasn't that interesting, however it help with her Karate.

This time, Aria was against jean. She looked at him and waited. He took the knife and looked at her. "I don't know, i don't think i can do this to a cute girl." he blushed a little while saying that, however Aria wasn't impressed. She angrily looked at him and said "Idiot, just do it"

"What did you say?" After the comment he rushed up and stabbed towards her. After a few months of practising Traditional Karate, she had gained enough understanding to take out anyone in the walls. She side stepped and grabbed Jeans knife arm, pushing of her back leg, Aria made Jean lose is balance and lean back. She then put her leg behind him so he couldn't recover. After falling on to the floor, he got up and looked towards Aria while rubbing the back of his head. "That's cheating, we were meant to follow the chief instructor."

Aria snorted and said "It worked, right?" Coincidentally, Annie had been watching and got excited for some reason. She walked over with a knife and threw it towards Aria with some might.

"Think fast" Hearing this and her sixth sense going off behind her, swung round and elegantly caught the knife.

"What was that for?" Aria pouted while looking over to Annie. The boys who saw the reaction couldn't help but think 'cute'

"Just Attack me" Hearing this from Annie, Aria sighed and walked up while spinning the knife in her hand. Suddenly, she stabbed towards her.

Annie's eyes opened wide, she lowered her stance and ducked under the stab and shot forward. She interlocked her arms over Arias shoulders and leaned forward, tipping the balancing point and making her fall over. Anime held out her had towards Aria who was on the ground. Aria grabbed it and sprung up.

Handing the knife to Annie she said "your go" She nodded and stepped back. Aria stretched her arms and got into position. Lowering her stance, putting her arms up and looked at Annie.

Annie launched forward and stabbed towards the heart. Aria dodged and grabbed Annie's arm and flipped her to the ground, leaving her no time to counter.

On the ground, Annie looked up towards the sky deeply thinking. Until Arias face came into view, she snapped out of it and grabbed Arias hand to be pulled up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean too throw you to the ground that hard" Aria quickly Apologised. "No need, I did the same" Annie looked at Aria with less anger and a bit more joy. "We're did you learn that" Aria heard this and quickly replied "It was actually taught by my mother."

"Your mom?"

"Believe it or not, it was passed down though her family and eventually down to me." Annie nodded and looked nostolgic. "What about you?" Aria returned.

"My father taught me"

While the 2 spoke, many eyes were on them. Most of the people in the camp were boys so they stared at the two beauties. Although some of them were watching for the technique, even they couldn't help themselves.

Out of the crowd came a older looking boy who had brown hair and blue eyes. While Aria and Annie were speaking, he walked up behind and wrapped his arms around the both of them.

"Hey you two, why don't you follow me afterwards and have a good time." Aria was the first to turn. Seeing the boy, she shot a disgusted look at him turned to face Annie. She nodded and looked at him wordlessly. Turning back to Aria, she nodded. They both suddenly twisted their body's and whipped their legs up to the side of the boys head. Both landing either side of the head, he instantly lost consciousness and fell straight to the floor. The surrounding group looked in horror as they though that they were lucky that they didn't try to start a conversation with them.

The two of them looked at each other and started to laugh. Seeing genuine laughter come out of Annie was unexpected. 'She actually looks really pretty while laughing' Arias face goes slightly red as she stared at Annie.
