Hi guys, so sorry for not updating lately. I've been dealing with a major writer's block. A very annoying thing happened to me last night. I was watching an AOT video and I got inspiration for this chapter, but because I was at the waterpark all day, I was too tired to write, because if I did, the chapter probably won't even make sense. So I'm gonna write this now, but I'm not as inspired. Helpppp mehhh. ;-;. Also, I CHANGED THE TIME SKIP IN THE LAST CHAPTER, SO IT WAS A YEAR AND A HALF LATER INSTEAD OF ONE YEAR LATER ANYWHOOOO, Enjoyyyy

(Y/N)'S POV

"Tch, long time no see" I said as I turned around. I saw shocked faces, except for Levi. Hanji ran up to me and hugged me.

"Oh my gosh! I've missed you so much!"

"H-Hanji c-can't breathe"

"Sorry" She let me go she was about to say my name but I covered her mouth and she gave me a confused look.

"Erwin, do you recognize me?" I asked, he nodded. "Do you?" I asked Levi.

"Tch, no." He probably didn't recognize me due to half my voice being muffled by the bandana. I actually felt hurt because I thought that he would be able to recognize me because of how long we have known each other. Even Hanji and Erwin recognized me.  "Why should I, you just look like a random ass brat that kills for no reason". I got so mad I was about to punch him in his face but Hanji stepped in between us. I took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Erwin, Hanji, follow me. Conner, Ez, Katelyn, and Lyla, keep on eye on shorty and don't say a thing about what happened." I shot them a look that gave them the message that I don't want him to know who I am, at least not yet. I headed into my room with Hanji and Erwin. Once we entered the room I closed the door and removed the bandana that was covering the lower half of my face.

"So, Hanji, Eyebrows, listen, I don't want Levi knowing who I am. At least, not just yet." They nodded in agreement. "Now tell me, why are you here"

"We want you to join the Survey Corps....... again" Relied Erwin. "As well as your friends". I was shocked, but I was hesitant to accept. Living here, we were happy. We would manage to survive. But up there, there was a chance of us being killed by titans. But then again, if we remained here, food would probably eventually become a problem, and then one of us would probably become weak and get sick due to the lack of sunlight..........

"Fine, we'll join"

"YAWHOO" Hanji jumped up and hugged me.

"Yeah" I hugged her and I felt a small smile creep onto my face. I placed the bandana back on my face and we headed out to the living room to find the others exactly as we found them.

"Guys, go pack"

"Why?" Katelyn asked

"Because we are joining the scouts"

"Okay, but may I ask why?" Conner asked

"Because, due to food and sickness, we have a better chance of surviving up there" They all nodded and we went off to pack. I was the first to finish packing so I sat down on the couch in the living room with my left leg on my right and my hands spread out on both sides of the couch next to me. Levi was looking at me with his usual stoic expression and I was just glaring daggers at him. My eyes flickered down to where his wedding ring should be, but there was no ring on his finger. I wonder what happened, so I'll just ask Hanji. I got up and headed to the kitchen to find Hanji making out with Erwin. I smirked then lowered my bandana and cleared my throat. They quickly pulled apart from each other and were as red as a tomato.

"Can I speak to Hanji alone?"

"Sure, I'll go speak to Levi". Erwin headed to the living room and I smirked at Hanji as she was still a blushing mess. 

"Listen, I need to talk to you"

"S-sure thing (N/N)"

"What ever happened to Levi and Yukania?"

"Ohhhh, does someone still have feelings for shortyy~"

"What?! No! Of course not. I just noticed he wasn't wearing his wedding ring. Plus why would you even suggest that if you know that he's married"

"That's the thing tiny, they didn't get married, about three days after you left we found out that Yukania was the leader of the gang that killed your family. She was also going to use Levi to do whatever she wanted. Apparently the only reason Levi was going to marry her was because she was the daughter of a friend of his mom. She was also threatening to commit suicide if he didn't marry her. We were going to put her in prison, but someone from another gang managed to kill her." I was shocked by what I had heard.

"Oh, okay." I heard the others calling for us to leave. As we were about to exit the kitchen, I turned my head to the side "Oh, and Hanji, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what I saw. You and Erwin would probably continue later right?" I smirked and raised the bandana to my face as I headed to the living room to see the others waiting on Hanji and I. Hanji came running to me with a face as red as a tomato.

"Tinyyy don't say that~" Her face was so funny I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, y-your f-face i-is t-too HAHAHAHAHA" When I finally fanaged to calm down I looked up and they Conner, Ez, Lyla, and Katelyn looking at me with shocked faces. "What?"

"N-nothing, it's just that, since you found us a year ago, you've never laughed. Not even once" said Katelyn

"Oh"

"Also, since you don't want shorty over her to know who you are as yet, what should we call you?" Ez and Lyla said at the same time.

"Just call me Rose"

 I then heard Levi mumbling 'Tiny, a year ago?' To himself and I could tell that he was trying to put every thing together, so before he could give it anymore thought I spoke up. 

"Okay, lets go guys" I picked up my bag and we headed out the door. 

About five minutes of walking had past. But as we were walking I sensed something.

"Everyone duck?!" Everyone got down on their knees with their hands over their head and thats when I heard it. Several gun shots fired through a window from the the building in front of us. After gun fire stopped I got up slowly. 

"Everyone, stay here" but Levi being the stubborn idiot he is got up 

"Tch, I thought I told you to stay there"

"Well, I don't take orders from some random ass brat". I smirked inwardly. Just you wait until you find out who I really am.

"Fine". Just then a man jumped out of the window in front of us along with four men other men. They were all holding two guns each.

"Kenny?" Asked Levi

"So, you're the famous uncle Kenny Ackerman that I've heard so much about" I stated

"Yes I am, and I'm here to kill my nephew here"

"Tch" Levi and I said at the same time the we glared at each other. And I could sware I saw Hanji and the others smirk at me and Levi. I simply rolled my eyes and returned my glare to Kenny. All of them started to shoot at me and Levi and time seemed to slow down a we dodged the bullets. One of the bullets managed to leave a small cut on my face. I managed to hen reach the two men on Kenny's left. They threw some punches and kicks, due to them running out of bullets, but I dodged them. I simply kicked the one to my left in the rib as I slit the throat of the guy to my right. Then the the guy that I had kicked came to me but I stabbed him in the stomach with my knife and then slit his throat so that he could die faster. I looked over to my right to see Levi about to finish off the last guy left, but he failed to notice Kenny approaching him from behin about to stab him.

Something inside me snapped and I sprinted towards them and just as Levi turned around and almost got stabbed, I kicked the knife out of Kenny's had and kicked him to the floor. I headed over to him and placed my right foot on his chest holding him down. 

"You know, I would kill you, but I'll just let Levi do what ever we wants." With that I headed off the the others leaving a shocked Levi behind me.

TWO DAY TIME SKIPPY~

Two days past and everyone was getting along perfectly. I was reunited with everyone and had explained what had happened when Erwin, Hanji, and Levi found me. So now they all call me Rose when shorty is around. Also, turns out that the Female Titan was Annie, the Colossal Titan was Bertholdt, and the Armored Titan was Reiner. But, whatever happened, happened and now they are on our sides. I headed outside for training after lunch. But once I reached there everyone had already got a sparing partner.

"Oi, brat. Get over here. I'm your partner for today". I heard the all too familiar voice say. It wasn't too long that I realized that I still loved him. Why emotions must you be like this. Why. We got in our fighting stances and he threw a punch at me but I dodged it. Then he threw a kick at me and I caught it, twisting it so that he fall to the floor. But he kicked under my feet and managed to get me to fall over. He mounted over me and smirked thinking he won, but he couldn't be more wrong. I smirked at him which he returned with a confused look. I pushed up my ams and twisted my body over.

Now I was on top of him with my left hand pinning his hands above his head and my right hand holding the wooden knife to his neck. He looked so shocked, which made me smirk even more. I decided that this would probably be the a good time to reveal my identity. I kept my smirk on and raised my left hand from his hands and slowly removed the bandana from the bottom half of my face. He looked so shocked.

"Surprise" I said

"I-I can't believe i-it's actually y-you" he said with his voice softer than usual. He sounded happy and his eyes grew softer.

"It's me" I responded shakily, about to cry. I felt so happy for some reason.
