You wave at her and strode to her car.

"Y/n?" Sasha called.

"Sasha? Annie?" You say. "I didn't know you knew Mikasa."

I was afraid for nothing. You thought to yourself. it was a relief to see you didn't need to do any introduction.

"You know each other?" Mikasa asked.

"Yeah, we first met when Levi took me to see his office." You explain.

"Jean called her hot." Sasha blurted. "Annie knocked him out, literally like for 2 minutes."

Mikasa sighed. "Leave it to Jean to be an idiot." She then turned to Annie. "I'll make sure to be there next time, so I can hit him."

"He'd probably enjoy it." Annie sneered. Mikasa and Sasha laugh.

"He's just lucky to be alive, imagine if Mr. Ackerman heard that," Sasha stated.

You, Mikasa, and Annie wait for Sasha, who was waiting for her order at the food court. You all had only been walking for maybe 10 minutes before Sasha spotted a food court and ran.

"I don't understand, we ate before we left how could she be that hungry?" Annie questions.

That hungry? What does she mean? You look behind to see Sasha carrying 5 pretzels while grinning.

"Sasha, what?" You ask or try to at least. Sasha hands each of you a pretzel and keeps 2 for herself.

"Oh, thanks." You say taking a bite out of the large pretzel. It was soft and delicious.

"How about this Y/n?" Mikasa asks. She held up a beautiful dark blue dress. You, Mikasa, Sasha, and Annie, were picking out dresses for Kenny's retirement party.

"It's gorgeous." You reply. She smiles and holds the dress up to Annie.  She gasps. "Annie you have to try this one."

Annie looked at the dress before taking it from Mikasa.

"Alright, I'll try it on." She sighed. While Annie went to find the dressing rooms, your attention turned to Mikasa.  She had a red in one hand and a black dress in another. She was looking at each quizzically.

Sasha was too busy munching on her last pretzel to be looking for dresses."Sasha, have you found any dress you like?" You ask.

"Any what?" She said still eating a pretzel. You smile at her, while Mikasa handed her an orange dress. "Orange?" She whined. "Mikasa-"

"I didn't see you pick out anything so I did it for you," Mikasa explained.

"But Mika-"

"You're welcome." Mikasa interrupted, pushing her towards the dressing rooms. You laugh but immediately stop when Mikasa throws a dress on your face. "Thought you were safe, huh."

"For a little while yes." You sigh. She pushes you in the direction of the dressing rooms. "Do not forget, we still have to 'expand your closet'."

You groan, why do I forget about little things like that.

"Annie you look stunning!" Mikasa exclaims. "I knew blue was your color."

You heard Mikasa compliment Annie from outside the dressing room.

When putting on the dress she gave you, noticing it was a bit tight in certain areas and shorter than you would like. But you encourage yourself to try new things.

You came out of the room and went to where you heard Mikasa raving at Annie's dress.

You didn't hear Sasha come out behind you. "Y/n, you look absolutely amazing."

Mikasa and Annie turn to you, Mikasa's eyes widened. Shock plastered on their faces.

It was a little embarrassing to have them all staring at you like this. "Well is it ok?" You ask.

"You are buying that dress, no excuses," Mikasa exclaimed. "Shorty's gonna lose his shit."
She mumbled the last part.

Wanting to take the attention off of you, you turn to Sasha. "Wow Sasha, look at you, Mikasa was right to pick out this dress." She really did, the dress accentuated her perfectly.

She pouts, "Yeah, I guess."

"Tsk whatever, you know I have fantastic taste, and that you look stunning in that dress," Mikasa concluded.

"Isn't Nicolo's favorite color Orange?" Mikasa asks, turning to Sasha and then Annie. At the mention of the man's name, Sasha's cheeks flush into a light pink.

Annie smiles and folds her arms. "I thought it was Connie's." She teases. "My mistake."

At the mention of his name Sasha's cheeks flushed into a bright red. "Guys stop."

Mikasa and Annie laugh.

----------------------------------------------------------

The customers in front of you finish and leave with their bags. The girls follow behind you, as you walk up to the counter and hand him the dresses.

He scans them. While he does that Mikasa fishes for her wallet inside her purse. "Your total is 8, 494.56." He states.

Where did the cents come from?

Annie pulls out her card, but Mikasa stops her.

"I'll pay, don't worry," Mikasa says, ready to pull her card.

"Are you sure?" She asks. "You paid last time."

"Of course!" She assures. "It's fine-

"Actually, I'll pay." You announce.

"What I can't allow you to do that." She explains, still fishing for her card. Mikasa isn't taking no for an answer.

"I don't have all day." The clerk sneers. He mutters to himself so low that only Sasha hears him. She shoots him a glare, he doesn't notice.

"I don't mind really." You assure her and take out your credit card. Since You got fired from your job, you hadn't had any steady income for almost 2 weeks now.

But besides college fees and car fees, and moving in with Levi, you haven't had to pay for rent, even though you wouldn't mind, meaning the money you saved up to buy an apartment wasn't needed anymore.

The man takes your card while staring at you.

Do you have a starring problem? You say to yourself.

"Ah, your Mr. Ackerman's wife." He clarifies. "You look so familiar, that's why."

"Fiance," You sigh. "We're still getting things ready."

I forgot people associate me with something else now. It's nice that it is more positive. You say to yourself while smiling.

"Maxing out his credit card too, I see."He mutters.
