I'll post it someday. maybe not here, but someday. I hope you enjoy!! Here's my story:
“Kurt! Kurt! Hurry up!” I yelled to my older brother while running with a hairbrush sticking out of my hair. I had my red tank top over my black-netted shirt. My brown bag was open with four kittens in it. I had my rolling purple suitcase, with my red duffle bag on top of it. My younger sister, well, actually cousin, Hilai and my real brother Kurt were behind me. We were running to catch our train.
“I’m hurrying! I’m hurrying! Jeez, it’s not my fault we’re late!” Kurt yelled back.
“Umm… yeah, it kind of is. You ARE the one who pushed the snooze button 7 times! You were supposed to wake us up!” I yelled.
“Well, why’d you put me in charge?” he questioned.
“Umm… I don’t know, maybe because you’re the oldest and supposed to be more responsible!” Kurt blushed. Man, I didn’t even have time to buy kitty food… how are we going to feed the kitties? Maybe we can just improvise…
*Phone booth in Market*
“Hello Col. Mustang.” A blonde haired boy said into the phone.
“Hello Edward, where are you?” the Col. Replied.
“Umm… at the market sir, why-?” Edward replied while looking at his younger brother who was packing up supplies for their trip back to Central.
“Why aren’t you on the train yet Edward?” Col. Mustang questioned.
“Well, we knew we didn’t have to be there till two so we decided to stock up on supplies.” Edward replied calmly.
“Ugh… when’s the next train leaving?” the Col. Asked.
“About right now Sir…why?” Edward questioned puzzled.
“I need you to get on that train now!” Col. Mustang replied while hanging up.
“Darnet Mustang!” Edward yelled into the phone as he put the phone back on the hook. “Al! Hey Al! Come on! We got to go!” Ed hollered to his brother, Alphonse.
“Ok big brother, just let me finish paying for the…” Alphonse started.
“No Al! Drop it all! We got to catch the train!!” Ed yelled while running.
“I thought we weren’t leaving till the next train!” Al yelled after him while he started to catch up to Edward.
“Change of plans because of stupid Mustang making us rush around!” Edward yelled flustered. All of a sudden the two brothers and the family of three arrived at the train. I took the hairbrush out of my hair and started stroking my wet hair. The conductor of the train came out to talk to us.
“Good news, the train hasn’t left yet for the five of you, but the bad news is you have to share a booth.” The conductor said. I turned to Kurt, then to Hilai. Hilai was in a deep stare. I looked in the direction she was staring to find she was staring at the short blonde haired kid. I watched her stare; she wouldn’t even blink.
“Umm… Kurt, we’re not going to share. Especially with this twerp.” I mumbled. Hilai went all bug-eyed on me as she gave me the cute-two-year-old-begging-for-a-cookie face to ride with them.
“No Hilai!” I told her. She begged more. I stared at her, then the blonde twerp.
“Well, I didn’t get up for nothing this morning. We can go.” I sighed while looking towards the ground and crossing my arms. Hilai squealed quietly to herself while I rolled my eyes.
“Well, that’s ok, right brother?” the giant man in metal armor turned to his brother.
“Yeah, it’s fine.” The short kid mumbled. I walked in front of him to the stairs going onto the train.
“Well, a shrimp isn’t so bad.” I stated while stepping up on the first step.
“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!” The kid yelled.
“You heard me.” I stated while smirking. I continued walking onto the train, followed by the short kid, the giant metal man, my sister, and my brother. We walked to the 17th booth and I slid open the door. I sat down next to the window and put my stuff on the floor. Hilai and Kurt sat next to me while the two strange brothers sat across from us, facing toward us.
“Hello, me and my brother didn’t get to introduce ourselves. My name’s Alphonse, and this is my older brother, Edward.” The armored man stated with a friendly tone. Ed nodded as in saying hello.
“Hey, I’m Kurt, and these are my younger sisters, Aaretta and Hilai” He replied while pointing to us when he called our names. We both waved with a smile.
“Wait… you’re his older brother?” Hilai asked in disbelief.
“But… he’s, he’s so much tall-!” I exclaimed.
“I know! I know!” He interrupted. “Don’t call me small!!” I laughed mockingly at his height.
“ So, what’s with the guitars?” Alphonse asked trying to change the subject.
“Oh, well their mine and my sister’s. We have our own band. Well, I guess you could call it a band.” I replied. I picked up the dark purple leather guitar case and opened it and pulled out the mint-tinted guitar with black outline or the electric guitar. I put its purple striped strap around my neck. Hilai picked up her royal blue case and took out her light blue guitar.
“Wow, those are cool!” Edward exclaimed.
“Can you play something for us?” Alphonse asked.
“Sure, why not? Breakaway sis?” I asked. Hilai nodded with a confident smirk.
Hilai: “Na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na.”
Aaretta: “Na na na na na na. Na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na.”
Hilai: “Grew up in a small town. And when the rain would fall down, I’d just stare out my window. Dreaming of a could be. And if I end up happy, I would pray. I would pray. Trying not to reach out. But when I tried to speak out. Felt like no one could hear me. Wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here, so I prayed. I could breakaway…”
Both: “I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly. I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky now. Take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away. Out of the darkness and into the sun. But I won’t forget all the ones that I love now. Take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away.”
Aaretta: “Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.”
Hilai: “Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Aaretta: “Wanna feel the warm breeze, of sleeping near a palm tree. Feel the rush of the ocean. Get on board a fast train. Travel on a jet plain, far away. And Breakaway.”
Both: “I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly. I’ll do what it takes, till I touch the sky now. Take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway. Out of the darkness and into the sun. I won’t forget the ones that I love now. Take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway.”
Hilai: “Buildings with a hundred floors.”
Aaretta: “Swinging around revolving doors.”
Hilai: I don’t know where they’ll take me but…”
Aaretta: “Gotta keep moving on, moving on.”
Both: “Fly away, breakaway. I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly. Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye no. I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway! Out of the darkness and into the sun, I won’t forget the place I come from, now. I gotta take a risk, take a chance….”
Hilai: “And breakaway…”
Aaretta: “Breakaway…”
Both: “Breakaway….”
The two paused and then looked at their audience. They both started to cheer.
“That was amazing!!” Alphonse cheered excitedly.
“Encore, Encore!!” Edward cheered while clapping his hands. Hilai and I both bowed our heads and smiled.
“I’m glad you liked it.” I replied with a smile. Hilai was blushing. She was extraordinarily happy that Ed liked it.
“Aaretta, I have to go to the bathroom! Where is it?” Hilai asked when she was through blushing and gazing.
“Here, I’ll help you find it. We’ll be right back guys.” I said with a friendly smile and we walked out of our booth and shut the door. I walked Hilai down the hallway till we saw the bathroom sign.
“You can go, I know my way back.” Hilai stated.
“You sure?” I asked, knowing Hilai never knows anything.
“Yeah, you just go down the hallway and open the tenth door.” She said.
“Oh…alright…” I said shocked at her remembering. Then I turned around and walked back to our door and walked in. When I sat down. There were numerous meows coming towards my bag. Oh no! They’re going to tell about me having cats! Oh man! I’m screwed!
“Kitties?” Alphonse asked hopefully.
“No! I don’t have any cats!” I protested. Just then, Sheena crawled out of the bag. Crap.
“Yeah you do, Aaretta. See?” Alphonse said while picking up the cat and snuggling it. Then the three other kittens came out.
“Aww! They’re so cute!” Alphonse exclaimed. Edward picked up one of the kittens, Roxxy.
“Yeah they are. Fluffy too.” Ed said with a smile while Roxxy licked his nose.
“Well, they like you!” I giggled as Niki Bailey crawled past my lap and onto Kurt’s and plopped down.
“You have precious cats! Doesn’t she brother?” Alphonse exclaimed.
“Yeah Al.” Ed replied. All of a sudden I heard my name being called.
“Aaretta! Aaretta!! HELP! Help!!” The voice screamed in horror. At that moment I put all the cats back in my bag right before Hilai swung open the door to our booth. She had a terrified expression on her face.
“Hilai, Hilai what’s wrong?!” I asked in a worried manner.
“There’s, There’s something horribly disgusting in the bathroom!!” Hilai whimpered.
“What is it? A murderer? A robber? A stalker?” I asked concerned.
“No…. it’s… it’s…A SPIDER!!” she shrieked in terror. I knew she was terrified of spiders, but this was overreaction. Sometimes it was just annoying. “Kill it! Kill it!!” she yelled.
“Fine, where is it?” I sighed.
“Follow me!” she said hopping up and down and leading me to the bathroom. While we were gone, the three guys stared at each other.
“So, she’s afraid of spiders, is that right?” Alphonse asked in his innocent sounding voice.
“Yeah, ever since she was a kid. It’s sad, but everyone’s afraid of something.” Kurt replied.
“You’re right.” Edward replied with a smirk. All of a sudden there was a shriek from one of the far hallways of the train.
“Aaretta! Aaretta! Slash it! Slash it! Eek!! Swing at it! Swing at it!” Hilai yelled in fear while she stayed on top of my shoulders. Aaretta had out her double-sided axe trying to smash the thumb-sized spider. While Hilai was on her back, her hands were covering her eyes.
“I would only if I could see where I was swinging!! Hilai quit covering my eyes!” I screamed back. With one swing I cut the spider in two while it’s legs squirmed.
“EWWWW!!!!” Hilai shrieked.
“Oh get over it!” I yelled. Back. “And get off of me!” Hilai climbed off of me. After she got off I put my hands in the air and my axe turned into a whirl of wind and disappeared.
“Sorry, but you know how scary spiders are Aaretta!” Hilai replied.
“It’s ok sis, let’s just go back.” I sighed and put my arm around her and walked her back to our booth.
“What, was that?” Edward asked disturbed when we walked in.
“The killing of a spider.” I replied. I ignored his confused look and sat back down.
“So, what leads you guys to Central?” Alphonse asked.
“Well, we’re just leaving home.” Kurt replied.
“Oh, we did that a long while ago.” Edward replied.
“We also came to learn alchemy!” Hilai exclaimed proudly. Kurt and I were aiming on keeping that a secret, but I guess that plan failed. Edward and Alphonse looked speechless, like Hilai just spoke a forbidden word.
“Do you even know anything about alchemy? Or even what it is?” I asked. They both looked at me with a weird visage. Not exactly looking at e like I’m crazy, but it was an odd look.
“Alchemy… Yeah…” Edward mumbled scratching the tip of his nose and looking out the window.
“You wouldn’t… know much about it… would you?” I asked almost disappointed. I wanted help learning alchemy, and I had no idea how easy or hard it would be to find someone who actually practiced or even know a thing about alchemy.
“Actually, me and my brother know a lot about alchemy.” Alphonse replied. It got quiet. I was ecstatic, even if my visage didn’t show it or not.
“You…KNOW ABOUT ALCHEMY!!??” I squealed. I couldn’t help myself. Kurt looked at me as if telling me to call down.
“Yeah…” Ed chuckled. I put my hands over my mouth while my eyes glistened. Hilai smiled happily. I was over joyed. So was my brother and sister.
“How well do you know alchemy??” Kurt asked.
“Not to brag… but I believe we’re pretty good.” Edward bragged.
“Oh really?” I asked doubtfully as if challenging to prove himself. Hilai looked at him dreamily. I rolled my eyes at her sillyness. How can someone like a short and short tempered tard like that? Well, Hilai I guess…
“At the right time I’ll show you how good we are.” Edward smirked.
“We? So, both of you know alchemy?” Hilai asked.
“Yes, we do.” Alphonse replied. I was impressed that they both knew alchemy, and they sounded like they were good. If he was willing to prove it, I knew he wasn’t lying. And with that much confidence, I was amazed. I made sure the door was closed and I let the kitties out again. Roxxy went and curled up on Al’s lap. I giggled at the cute sight.
“Not to be rude and ask favors of you after we recently met but would you ever consider teaching alchemy?” I asked trying not to be rude.
“Teaching alchemy?” Edward asked.
“You think we could brother?” Al asked.
“Well, is that what you’re asking?” Edward asked making it seem as if I were giving him a compliment.
“It depends how good you are!” I teased. Actually, I don’t think I really would have cared if they weren’t that great but anywhere’s a start.
“Oh, well we’ll see if you want us to teach you when we get off this train and we’re in central!” Edward threatened. We glared and smirked at each other.
“You’re on.” I confirmed at his challenge. After my smile faded, I fell into a daze and looked out the window and watched everything that went past us. After a while, I fell asleep. When we arrived, Kurt woke me up. When I opened my eyes I saw Hilai and Al sleeping also. Ed and Kurt must have been the ones who stayed awake. Unless they snoozed while we weren’t watching. Were in Central, Retta!” Kurt exclaimed in a whisper. I smiled. Finally, we were here. Kurt woke Hilai and same did Ed to Al. We grabbed our luggage and other bags and got off the train.
“Would you mind showing us some of your alchemy?” Hilai asked semi-flirtishly. Ed chuckled until he saw Mustang and Hughes waiting for him.
“Uhh…. Not right now.” Edward answered seriously.
“Well, can we at least stay with you for a while till then? I mean, we have no where else to go…” Hilai asked.
“Sure, there’s no problem with that.” Alphonse answered. So, we followed Edward and Alphonse as they led us to the mysterious men in blue.
