A Few Months Earlier..





Connie pulled the cap off the black Sharpie and looked for the earliest unmarked day. Once he found it he quickly wrote a big X on it and put the Sharpie away. Looking back at the calender, Connie realized what day it was.

        "It's Halloween!" Connie shouted excitedly with a big grin on his face. Eren, who was near by and had heard the shout walked over to Connie.

        "It's what?" He asked, not have hearing Connie clearly earlier. 

        "Halloween," Connie said again, "you know, where you dress up and stuff." 

        "I'm pretty sure he knows what Halloween is, Connie," Sasha laughed while she walked over to them. Connie rolled his eyes.

        "I was just making sure!"

        "Halloween has always been Connie's favorite holiday," Sasha explained to Eren. Eren nodded, understanding. After all, everyone has a favorite holiday. 

        "I can't help it," Connie whined, "Halloween is just so.. fun!"

        "Someone say Halloween?" 

        Everyone looked over and saw [Name]'s head peeking over a corner. Strands over her [h/c] hair were carelessly thrown on her face, but she didn't seem to mind it. Her [e/c] orbs were bright with amusement and there was even a small grin on her face. 

        Connie nodded excitedly. "Halloween is today!"

        [Name]'s face broke out into a smile and she quickly hopped out from behind the wall. "We should celebrate! It's not like we have anything better to do, stuck in this mall and all."

        "Celebrating Halloween is pointless," said the one and only Cold King. Everyone's faces paled except Connie's, who still had the Halloween spirit. 

        "No it's not," Connie shot back. 

        "There's zombies surrounding the mall, it's basically been Halloween since this shit started."

        "Well.. yeah, I guess. But still!" Connie sighed, placing a hand to his forehead and closing his eyes, "you wouldn't understand."

        Levi remained quiet for a few moments then shrugged. "Probably not." 

        "Levi.. have you ever celebrated Halloween at all?" [Name] questioned, curiosity getting the best of her. 

        "No."

        Connie's jaw dropped and his eyes widened in disbelief. "What?! How couldn't you?! Halloween's like the best holiday ever!" Connie went on and on about how "amazingly awesome" Halloween is while Levi just stood there uninterested. 

        "You get to scare people and--"

        "You seriously never celebrated Halloween?" Sasha asked, interrupting Connie's Halloween speech.

        "I didn't have a normal childhood," Levi shrugged.

        "Obviously," Eren mumbled quiet enough no one heard. 

        "Then that just means we have to give you a little bit of Halloween spirit!" [Name] exclaimed with a grin. Levi frowned. "No."

        "Why not?!" Connie groaned.

        "I don't need any of your 'Halloween spirit,'" Levi grunted then walked away, obviously annoyed by the situation. [Name] frowned as he turned right and out of their sight. 

        "We're going to throw a party," Connie announced.

        "We are?" Eren asked, unsure.

        "Yep. We're going to show that jerk what Halloween's all about," Connie explained then went to get started. Sasha, Eren, and [Name] all watched him walk away, or well, skip away.

        "He's way to into this," [Name] breathed.

        "Maybe just a little bit too much," Eren agreed.

        Sasha groaned and face palmed. "Every fucking year."







"A little bit to the right," Eren ordered. [Name] moved the decoration slightly to the right.

        "There. Is that better?" She asked. 

        "What are you guys doing?" Jean asked, Marco, Armin, and Mikasa standing right behind him with matching confused faces. Sasha smiled and held up two balloons; orange and black.

        "Throwing a Halloween party. Duh."

        "Halloween?" Armin asked.

        Connie snapped around, "Where you dress up and get--"

        "We know what Halloween is," Mikasa interrupted. Connie's face dropped with a frown and he turned back around to putting up decorations, mumbling things under his breath. 

        "I'm just wondering why," Armin explained with furrowed eyebrows.

        "Connie wants to show Levi the 'Halloween spirit,'" [Name] explained. 

        "Why?" Jean asked. 

        "Because he's never celebrated it before," Sasha blurted.

        "I'm actually not surprised," Marco shrugged, "he doesn't exactly seem like that type of person."

        Eren flicked one of the plastic skeletons that hung from the wall. "He said he didn't have a normal childhood."

      "It's sad, really," [Name] mumbled.

        "And that is the exact reason why we're doing this," Connie encouraged. "Mind helping?"

        The group of four all glanced at each other then shrugged. "Sure," Jean agreed.







Music blasted through the mall's walls, sounding muffled to where Levi could only hear the song's beat. Levi frowned and stood up, walking towards where the music's source was. As he neared closer, the music got louder and clearer. The song was This is Halloween, he only recognized it from his old friend Hanji forcing him to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas with her back in college. 

        Levi stood in front of a store. The display windows were covered with black paper and the entrance was covered with skinny strands of orange and black papers that went all the way down to where they touched the floor. The music was perfectly clear now, and loud. Levi rolled his eyes and stepped through the strands of hanging paper, but only to be screamed at.

        "Happy Halloween!"

        As quickly as the words entered his brain, someone was behind him and putting a long, black cape on him. "I knew the Dracula look would be perfect!" [Name] giggled as she watched Levi's deadpanned expression. 

        Connie was dressed as Jason, Sasha as a banana, Eren as Spider-man, Marco as a Cowboy, Mikasa as Murder Alice in Wonderland, Jean as Batman, Armin as Captain America, and [Name] as Cat-woman. 

        Levi couldn't help but stare at [Name] for a little longer. She was in leather after all.

        "Fine, but only for a little bit," Levi mumbled. But everyone heard it, and when they did, they couldn't help but cheer. Levi couldn't help but smile a little bit.
