 I admired the tattoo for a little bit because, well, it was beautiful, before realizing that people would ask about it. I crawled out from under the covers on my bed and over to my back pack. For some reason, I had a feeling that there could possibly be something helpful in it. I zipped open the bag and put my hand into the bag. I rummaged through the bag until I felt something very familiar. I grabbed it and pulled it out of my bag. I then smiled when I saw exactly what I needed. Black, finger less gloves that I got for throwing rifles in guard.

Okay, time for some explaining. You see, there's a team sport called winter/color guard where I come from. In this sport, girls (or guys) will spin and throw flags and weapons while dancing. I'm, of course, in my schools winter guard team. I don't spin rifle (yet) but I still have one. I also have the gloves people buy with the rifle or saber (Don't you dare call them swords) so that they don't get as hurt while spinning it. Anyways, back to the story.

I put on the gloves and smiled. They almost covered the entire tattoo. I zipped the bag and then got out of bed. Suddenly, I realized something that I should have asked Petra in that dream.

'Dang it,' I thought,' I should have asked Petra about why my bag will randomly have something I need at the exact time I need them. Oh well, I'll just call it my magic bag.'

I walked over to where my uniform is, only to hear the door to the room open. I looked over to see Historia coming into the room. She was in full uniform as well as her cape. When she noticed me standing near my uniform, she smiled.

"Oh, Hato," she said," Good morning."

"Oh, uh, you too," I said," What are you doing up so early?"

"Oh, um," she said," My squad did some training really early this morning."

I looked at her like she was lying, because I knew she was. She looked at me with a nervous smile. I then shrugged and turned around.

"If you say so," I said.

I then heard running coming from the hall ways. Me and Historia turned our heads just in time to see Hanji slide to a stop in front of the door.

"GOOD MORNING!" she yelled.

I covered my ears, making sure they didn't bleed.

"You too," I said.

"GUESS WHAT!" yelled Hanji, not even paying attention to the fact that my ears were nearly bleeding.

"What?" I asked while taking my hands away from my ears.

"EVERYBODY HAS A FREE DAY!" she yelled a little quieter.

I looked at her surprised, then at Historia. She just smiled at me sweetly.

"I was about to tell you that," she said a bit nervous.

I shrugged it off and went to where I had my free clothes were. I grabbed then, went into the bathroom, changed, and left. When I left the bathroom, I noticed Historia leaving with my uniform.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Oh, well, your uniform was a little dirty after yesterday, so I thought I would wash them for you," she said sweetly.

"Oh, thanks!" I said while rubbing the back of my neck.

Historia smiled and left the room. When she did, I sighed.

'That girl's a freaking ANGEL,' I thought.

I grabbed the hat from my counter and put it on. I then walked out of the room and towards the exit. When I got to the exit, I slowly opened the door. I walked out the door and stood there. Out side the door was a giant field with a few trees and flowers dotted here and there. I smiled and closed my eyes, letting the gentle breeze blow me into my day dreams. Oh, by the way, I day dream a lot.

I dreamed of me in a Lucky Star uniform standing on a cliff that was above the ocean. I was admiring the view of the view of the ocean, when I heard someone calling my name. In my dream, I turned around to see a girl with red hair in two ponytails and a survey corps uniform standing a few meters away. I tried to look closer, but was immediately taken out of my dream and back to reality by someone calling my name.

I turned around to see Chelsea running up to me in a white shirt and black skirt. She was smiling gently as always and was carrying a few books in her hand.

"Hi Hato!" she said.

I sighed and smiled.

"Hi Chelsea," I replied.

She finally stopped when she was right next to me.

"Isn't it great!" she proclaimed," We get a free day on such a beautiful day. And it's the day after we promised to meet on a free day!"

"It wasn't really a promise," I mumbled.

"What was that?" she asked.

"Nothing," I said.

She looked out at the field and smiled.

"By the way," I started as we started walking out into the field," Where is Anthony?"

"Hm, why you ask? Are you interested in him or something?"

"No," I replied," I'm just curious. You said that he only talks to you and Erwin, Hanji, and Levi so I thought he would probably be with you."

"Well," said Chelsea," He's doing something for Levi right now."

"Oh, I guess that makes sense," I said.

We continued walking in silence until we got to a hill in the field. It was about a third of a mile from HQ, so it was pretty silent. There was also a very big tree on the hill, so we decided to relax there. Chelsea put her books down next to the tree and sat down. I sat down next to her and looked at the sky.

"It's really nice out today," I said.

Chelsea looked at the sky and smiled. I smiled and looked down at her books. They were pretty big books, in my opinion. I looked at the titles, making my eyes widen. I grabbed the top book, causing Chelsea look at me with a panicked look on her face.

"Hey Chelsea," I said.

"Uh, what is it?" she stuttered.

I looked at her and smiled.

"I didn't know you liked Another," I said.

Her eyes then widened.

"I also read the other titles. They seem pretty interesting," I said," I have one question though. Where did you get Shakespeare?"

Her eyes suddenly widened. She then grabbed the book from my hand and sighed.

"How did you know what I was reading?" she asked quietly.

I cocked my head before realizing what she meant.

"Simple," I said," I'm American."

Her eyes widened.

"You too huh?" she said.

I looked at her confused. She sighed and looked up at the sky.

"Hato, I have something that has been on me and Anthony's mind for a while that I'm about to tell you. Promise me you don't tell anyone," she said.

I nodded my head. She was about to speak again, until I smelled something really rotten. I put my finger over her mouth, making her go quiet. She looked at me confused as I looked around. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around, only to get hit in the back of the neck, causing me to black out. Man, I really need to stop getting knocked out when something really important is about to happen.
