Today is the day of the expedition. I worriedly walked around Luna with my arm folded and my other arm patting it.
"Ohh God, Luna, today is the expedition. I'm nervous as hell aaaaaa..." I muttered as I walked around Luna.
"Will I be able to save them? Ohhh what about the others? Ness is going to die, Luke was it?- is going to die... countless more soldiers will die..."
I continued to walk around Luna, not noticing how she's starting to get annoyed by my muttering.
Luna lifted her upper body and screamed, she stomped and ran towards me.
My eyes widened and placed my hand in front of me to stop her as I took a few steps back.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Luna! Stop!-" Luna ducked down past my legs and lifted me up.
I screamed as Luna ran on the field, passing the Levi squad who had confused looks on their faces.
"(Y/n)? What are you doing?" I heard Petra yell as Luna continued to run.
I held tight on Luna's body and panicked.
"I-I don't know! Give me a minute!" I yelled as I tried to figure out how to stop Luna.
"L-Luna?! Stop! What are you doing?!" I glanced at my back to look at Luna as she continued to run.
Luna let out a loud snort and shook her head, she slowly stopped and swished tail on my face.
I pushed her tail out of my face and scoffed.
"What was that? Why did you do thaAAT?!-"
Luna started to buck her legs like a fucking bull.
I shouted once again and held on to her tighter.
"AHH LUNA!? STOP! WH-HYY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" I shrieked and closed my eyes.
"Are you trying to tell me something?!"
Luna stopped when I said that and I slowly opened my eyes to look at her.
She let out a nicker and stomped her foot. I let out a sigh and relief and let myself fall on the grass.
I stared at the morning sky as I caught my breath. I glanced at Luna and sat up.
"Okay, instead of trying to tell me, you picked me up and ran around like a maniac!" I fumed and lifted my arms in the air.
"You even- what do you want to tell me?" I said and groaned at Luna.
Luna scoffed and neighed at me. I blinked and squinted my eyes on her with a head tilt.
"You do know I can't understand horse language, right?" I deadpanned at her and she sighed.
I crossed my arms at her and pursed my lips.
Luna looked around and jogged towards some thick wooden sticks that were laying on the ground.
She grabbed one with her mouth and dragged the tip of the wood to the ground.
"Oh great, who are you now? Fucking Toothless?" I sarcastically said and stood up.
"How are you that smart anyway? Not that I'm complaining..." I muttered and walked towards her.

"What is she doing?" Levi hissed under his breath when he saw (Y/n)'s horse running across the field with (Y/n) on her back sitting backwards- more like laying on her stomach.
"Ah, Lance Corporal Levi, Good morning!" Petra greeted him.
"We don't exactly know Captain..." Eld said with a sweat drop.
"Let's just give her and her horse some time. They must be nervous..." Petra said with a nervous laugh.
"Fine. We have a few hours before the expedition. Prepare your horses." Levi commanded.
"Sir!" they said and saluted at him. Eren got out of the stables with his horse.
"Good morning, Lance Corporal Levi!" Eren said and saluted at him.
Levi glanced at him. "We have a few hours before the expedition. Help that shitty brat of yours over there." he said and nodded towards (Y/n), who now has her arms up in the air with an annoyed look.
"Right. Yes sir!" Eren said.
Eren approached the Levi squad and greeted them 'good morning' as they greeted him back.
"So um, what exactly happened?" Eren asked and pointed at his sister.
"We don't exactly know how it started but we saw (Y/n)'s horse run with (Y/n) on her back, sitting backwards." Petra told him.
"I'll go help her." Eren said and jogged towards (Y/n), who is now standing next to Luna.

"What are you trying to draw? Ah- where did you even learn that in the first place?!" I asked and Luna looked at me which looked like a deadpan look.
"What?" I said and raised my hands up like a shrug with my shoulders.
Luna sat and pointed the tip of the wood in the ground a few times, then she pointed at me using her hoof.
"How the hell is this horse-"
"Are you saying that you saw me do that?" I asked and pointed at myself.
Luna nodded and I looked at her dumbfounded.
"Luna just- LUNA JUST NODDED- WHAT?!"
"I... when the hell..?" I muttered.
"Okay so if we can use the forest here or the woods for the escape, we'll go on that. Then...-mutter- -mutter- -mutter- " I told Luna and pointed at my drawing on the floor, using chalk.
"Oh what, that?" I muttered and facepalmed.
Luna stood up again and started to draw, I waited at the side with my arms crossed as I watched her messily draw.
Luna dropped the wood on the side and nodded her head downwards in her drawing.
I sighed through my nose and walked closer in her drawing. As I walked around her drawing, I decided to try something out.
I looked at her and purposely stepped on the line, Luna stomped her feet down the ground and squealed.
My eyes slightly widened and smiled in amusement. I lifted my foot up and she stopped.
I stepped on the line again and she squealed once again.
"Luna's a fucking Toothless kin" I muttered and let out an airy chuckle.
I studied Luna's drawing as I avoided the lines and stopped in the middle.
"A stop sign?" I said and looked at Luna with a questioning gaze.
"What does a hand stop means other than stopping?" I muttered and placed my hand on my chin.
"Wait, what do you want me to stop about?" I asked and walked towards Luna.
"Stop walking?" I asked and I stopped walking. Luna shook her head.
"Stop my hand gestures?" I asked and she shook her head again.
"Stop talking?" I asked. Luna nodded and I blinked a couple times.
"Wha- why? I can't, okay? I'm worried. The expedition is today and I don't have a clear plan. I just have ideas but they are not clean." I said and walked in a circle.
"I don't even know if one of my ideas will work! I'm not sure if everything will go like the anime did. I don't want a lot of soldiers to die in this expedition. I don't want that to happen! But how?! Levi will definitely won't allow me to use my Titan powers to fight Annie head on just like he did on Eren! Worst! What if I failed to save them?! I won't be able to forgive myself! Nightmares will haunt me!" I muttered as I walked in a circle.
"Will I be fast enough? What if my gas ran out before Annie hit them? What if I'm too nervous to move? What if I-" I stopped when I saw Luna charging at me again.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll stop! I'll stop! Just don't do that again!" I shouted and placed my hand in front of me again and she stopped.
Luna sighed and nudged her head in my arm and hair.
"What are you doing..?" I muttered as she continued to do a... cuddle?
"Are you trying to give me a cuddle?" I asked and she nodded as she continued.
I took a deep breath and patted her neck. Luna nudged my arm and I scratched her behind the ear.
"Are you trying to calm me down..?" I slowly asked and she neighed at me as if she was shouting 'finally!'
"Jesus... sorry, Luna. Just worried, you know?" I said and continued to pat her.
"(N/n)!" I heard Eren yell and I looked at him.
"Is everything alright?" Eren asked as he got to us.
"Yeah, I was just... freaking out and Luna tried to calm me down." I said and looked away, embarrassed that my horse comforted me instead of the other way around.
"You should've called me. I'm always here for you, remember?" Eren said, he touched my cheek and made me look at him.
"Yeah- yeah, I know. I just don't want to make you even more nervous." I said and leaned on his touch.
"It's okay. We got this, okay? Together." Eren said and grabbed my hand.
"Hm. Okay, okay. Together." I said and squeezed his hand.

The bell rang loudly, signaling that they would soon open the gate.
"We've lured away all nearby Titans! Thirty seconds until the gate is open!" one Survey Corps soldier yelled.
The Levi squad were formed into a circle formation and (Y/n) and Eren were placed in the middle.
Eren heard children gasping and he glanced at it. He saw two kids peeking on the window of a house, a boy and another boy but younger.
"It's the Survey Corps!" the younger boy said to his brother.
"The marks on their backs is called Wings of Freedom, you know!" The older kid said and looked at the younger.
"Cool!" the younger awed.
"(N/n), look! It's the Survey Corps!" a seven-year-old Eren said to a six-year-old (Y/n). He was carrying (Y/n) in her back as they watched the soldiers line up.
"Their capes looked cooler in person!" (Y/n) muttered and smiled.
Eren looked up at her sister. "That symbol in their capes is called the Wings of Freedom!" he said and pointed at it.
(Y/n) hummed and nodded excitedly. "They're really cool! I can't wait till we wear them one day!" she said.
Eren smiled warmly at the scene as he remembered when he and (Y/n) saw the Survey Corps for the first time.
(Y/n) looked at Eren and saw him smiling, she froze and she silently awed at him.
"I WISH I HAVE A CAMERA RIGHT NOW! THAT SMILE IS SO PRECIOUS!"
Eren glanced at (Y/n) and sent her the same smile. (Y/n) blinked and it calmed her nerves down.
(Y/n) smiled back at him then grinned.
"It's time!" Walbrunn yelled. Eren looked forward and started to get serious.
(Y/n) took a deep breath and also looked forward.
"In mere moments, mankind will advance once again. Show us what you're made of." Walbrunn said and the rest of the Survey Corps cheered and lifted their fists and blades up in determination.
"Open the gate!" The gate slowly lifted up.
"Forward!" Erwin shouted as his horse neighed loudly and ran forward, the rest of the Survey Corps followed him.
"Okay, here we go. Don't die on me Luna, okay girl?" (Y/n) muttered to Luna.
Luna neighed and followed the other horses' run.
"We now begin the 57th expedition! Advance!" Erwin yelled.
