It became apparent within the first half hour that it would be a long five hour drive.

Krista was an awful driver. On the decently maintained roads of the neighborhood and town, she had ignored a few signs, swerved into the opposite lane twice, and skit to a complete halt to let baby ducks cross with their mother. Not to mention that her handle on the vehicle was just plain uncomfortable. Luckily, Ymir was there to help her.

"I know what we can do to pass the time!" Hange spoke up, about fifteen minutes into the ride. Desperate to take their mind off of the carsickness brewing in their stomach, they looked up at the woman who had taken the liberty to stand up, so they could all hear her.

She took a deep breath, so much her frame expanded slightly. "Ninth-nine bottles of beer on the wall -"

Loudly, Levi groaned and rolled his eyes, shoving his face into his hands. In the meantime, the rest of the bus joined into the song. Maybe we should be spending our extra funds on singing lessons, he thought bitterly, biting his lip. Speaking of which, was any of these expenses being covered by the company's funds? Probably, knowing Eren. Headaches.

The only way he would get through this trip was if he blocked them out. Slumping down in his chair, the boss shuffled through his pockets and found his savior. Levi untangled the earbuds and plugged them into his phone, turning up the music so that it tuned out the gang for the most part. Good enough. He rested his head back and focused on the lyrics…

Around the time that there were seventy eight bottles left, they had all given up. They then turned to planning. Lunch, how could they have forgotten lunch? "We will be in the city in about an hour, so we can stop for lunch then." Armin suggested, pulling out a list of restaurants in the area.

"I have coupons for Burger King!" Marco proclaimed, gripping the sloppily cut papers in his hand and holding them up so they could see. Jean rolled his eyes and sank into his chair, choosing to ignore his friend.

Armin, on the other hand, took the papers from his hand started looking over them. "Awesome, thank you Marco!"

Eren stood up, anger fuming in his green eyes. "Hey, why do we have to eat that shit food?" He demanded, feet placed firmly until Christa drove over a pothole. "Sorry!" she squealed as Jeager fell back into his chair.

"The road gods have spoken." Riener said with a joking smile.

"R-Road gods?" Bertolt echoed, sweating more. Already having to deal with the current amount of gods was terrifying, but now he had to deal with road gods? Riener nudged him, pushing him out of his thoughts. "Calm down, it was a joke." He murmured with a smile.

"So whatever someone decides they want, we can get a free medium fries!" Marco exclaimed with a smile. They then chatted about their lunch plans. Except the typical 'I'm not going to talk to you until I have to' crowd consisting of Mikasa, Annie, and Levi. Strangely, they were all sitting in the general area of each other. Bertolt scooted toward them and sighed. "You guys are quiet. I'm hanging with you guys now."

Levi didn't hear him through the headphones. Mikasa wouldn't look up from her phone. Annie, at least, looked up at him for a second before returning to her book. Bertolt exhaled, leaning his head back on the chair and staring at the ceiling.
