(24) Clothing is essential

The rest of the patrol went well, not much went happened except breaking up a few fights and helping a few people. the rest was just aimlessly walking around and trying not to get harassed by the public people. It didn't end well for them.

When they returned, they reported each incident and what they did. Each incident they reported in which they got harassed, the officer could really do anything about it so he left it. Both of the beat up the people responsible so they didn't argue. The afternoon came round and the 2 of them had nothing to do anymore, the morning patrol was all they had to do. They came back to their dorm and sat with each other thinking about what to do.

Aria smiled and accessed the shop. 'Access clothing' she asked Illustris.

'Confirmed, what would you like?' She replied

'Female clothing' Aria said. A large section of clothing appeared. Dating from the 21st century too older clothing dating back 200 years. all the clothing was amazing. She picked a few for Annie while she was at it. The clothing sets consisted of a few jumpers that she liked wearing, White and black was a theme she liked.

'hmm, ive never seen her wear a skirt. lets get one. the skirt was coloured black with a large red stripe on the side. She nodded then paid for it. Another thing she didn't know is how to earn money. Illustris suddenly interrupted. 'You are able to Earn money soon, from now on killing each Titan will get you 100 coins. There also missions that the system will give you when the time is right.'

Aria nodded and looked and Annie who was playing with a small butterfly knife. "Were did you get that from?" Aria asked. Annie looked over and smiled "I kindly took it from one of the perverts we encountered in the street" She laughed and took something out of her Spacial Ring.

The item she gained was a special ring of holding, she first looked at it and found it was the same as Annie's ring. It had a small blade which could extent so she could cut her self to transform. Instead of being silver in colour it was similar to Arias ring. Looking towards Annie, she called out "Annie i have something for you"

Annie turns around to see Aria holding something. Looking at it her eyes light up. She rushes up and looks at the ring more closely, seeing the small blade she looks up in surprise. "How did you get one like that?" Aria smiles "Secret, also its a special one that i was going to wait but i decided to give it to you right now"

Annie looked down at her silver ring that she had and took it off. However, she couldn't throw it away because it was a memento from her father. isdead, she took a bit of string and tied it around her neck. Seeing this, Aria couldn't help but think about her own parents once again.

Aria gave her the ring and put it on her ring finger. Holding her hand up, he flicked her wrist and the small blade extended out. Nodding she looked back at her one and only. "Theres one more thing about this ring that i want you to use." She then lifted her own arm and said "The energy you have been gathering, use that and focus it on the ring. Think about seeing whats inside" Annie was confused by this and did what she was told.

Using Elemental energy, she opened the spacial ring. "What is this!" What she just saw was a a 100 cubed metre space inside this small ring. Aria giggles at the reaction and says "Its a ring that you can store stuff in, the one i have is the same" She then proceeds to lift up her hand and take out the Katana she had stored in there. Seeing the black sheath with red outlines was probably the reason why she named it <Twilight>. The handle was also black with red accents, which made it look like a dark night with a blood red moon.

After getting it out, she unsheathed it and looked at its edge. "So much better that those stupid blades we get from the ODM gear" Annie also looked at it and seemed to like it. Aria turned to her and said "I've put a little something in there for you, go check it out" She nods then looks through what she had gotten. Lots of cloths were at the bottom and was filling quite a large chunk of area.

"Is this really all for me?" She asked, unsure of why she had so much clothing.

"yea, but first, i haven't seen you in a skirt yet so try one on." Aria said. Annie agreed and found a suitable one. While she liked dressing in pants and other clothing, she didn't hate more girly stuff like skirts. She saw a black a red skirt and picked it. A white jumper was also chosen.

The cloths suddenly appeared in her hand. "I'll get used to it" she reminded herself. She got changed and stood in front of a mirror. Seeing herself for the first time in a skirt, she was pretty shy. She tried to pull the skirt down but a hand stopped her. Aria quickly wrapped her arms around Annie and stared at her. "So beautiful"

Red spread across Annie's face while she struggled to get out of Arias grasp. "You're not going anywhere. The game has only just begun" Hours past while 2 girls were choosing outfits, Aria just could help herself and joined in part way. By nightfall, the two of them were tired out and went to bed.

...

In a office, Commander Erwin was drawing up plans for the next expedition. This would be only a test for Eren to get him to Shiganshina. This was also to try and find some people who had invaded the walls with their power to shift into Titans. Although this will be a secondary objective because they still don't know if the people who did it are here.
