Ch. 3: You have reached your destination
The next chapter!!! I'm wondering if anyone reads this.....
“You’re late, Edward” the tall man in blue without glasses said strictly. Even though he acted cold, I could tell he could be nice when he wanted to. He was extremely handsome with black flowing hair. Not like the models or gay men but, it flowed in a mysterious way. The other one looked older, but he was still young. He had black hair also, but it didn’t flow. He was handsome, but he wasn’t as handsome. Well at least that’s what I thought. I don’t like guys with facial hair, only hair on their heads.
“By ten minutes, give me a break. I would have been later if I hadn’t taken this train.” Edward replied hastily.
“I know that’s exactly why I told you to get on this one.” The man replied solemnly. Edward growled under his breath.
“Who are they?” I whispered into Edwards ear.
“Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Maes Hughes.” Edward whispered annoyingly. I looked at both of them while I wondered who was who.
“Awwetta, who are the scary men?” Hilai wined. I gave her a stern look.
“These are men from the military, Hilai.” I explained. She looked confused. “These are the people who go ‘bam bam’. You know, the people who have the sparkly lights on their cars.... erm.... the riding shiny madoober." I explained more ‘clearly’.
“Oh!! Right!!” Hilai exclaimed in…umm… acknowledgement. The two men looked at us like we were retards. I looked at them and gave them a friendly smile. Then I looked down at my feet in embarrassment.
“Edward, quit babbling to the girls you picked up on the train and let’s get a move on.” The one with glasses barked in a non-rude tone.
“What?!” Edward and I squawked.
“I…ugh… him…ehh…no. Sorry!” I stammered.
“Ok, ok. Whatever you two say… but let’s just get a move on.” The man chuckled. The man without glasses didn’t change his strict expression. I eyed him suspiciously; even though there was nothing to be suspicious about.
“With all do respect, what’s with you?” I asked him, not minding my tongue.
“I’m not at my best mood because we’re supposed to be investigating a murder right about now.” He barked without looking at me.
“Well, terribly sorry.” I mumbled.
“We need to get to the scene as soon as possible so… we’ll need to take motorcycles.” The man without glasses stated. I looked at the motorcycles. They sparkled in their own color. They were green, blue, red, and jet black.
“Come on little girl, you can ride with me.” The man without glasses said in a teasing way without expression.
“Excuse me little boy… I believe you don’t know who you’re talking to.” I growled.
“Yes I believe I’m talking to a very pretty girl, now hop on.” He said actually smirking. I wasn’t sure if I was flattered or flustered. The man swung his leg over the bike, “Come on.” He repeated. I swung my leg over and grabbed the back of his shirt. Hilai and Edward got on one motorcycle, while Kurt got on by himself.
“You know how to control that thing?” the man with glasses asked Kurt while mounting his bike.
“Yeah. I think so.” Kurt confirmed while he watched Al get on with the same bike as the man. I was unsure of my brother’s answer. I watched the man without glasses turn the key on the motorcycle and start moving.
“So, what’s your name?” the man asked me when we began to accelerate.
“Aaretta.” I replied, “You? What’s your name… well… I know it’s either Maes or Roy, I’m just not sure which one you are.”
“Well, guess. Let’s see if you’re right.” He smirked.
“I need to see your face if I’m going to guess.” I answered. We pulled up to a stoplight and he turned around. I looked deep into his eyes. He was even more handsome up close.
“You’re…Green.” I said.
“Huh?” he questioned.
“Turn around!!” I yelled. He turned around and got the message and started driving. I thought about it. Maes or Roy. Ugh… why is this so hard?? I thought hard, with a total guess: Maes Hughes. But I listened to his voice in my head.
“Roy….” I mumbled.
“Yeah?” the man answered as if I were going to ask him a question.
“Your name’s Roy?” I asked.
“Yeah. It is. Lucky guess. What made you think I was Roy?” he asked.
“I don’t really know.” I replied blankly. How did I know?
“You know, Aaretta, you can hold on tighter.” Roy suggested.
“No, I’m fine. I’m not scared anyways.” I replied. Roy started to swerve the bike back and forth. I grabbed his shirt tighter. “Stop it!!” I laughed. He started to go faster. I hit him in the back of the head. “Quit it!” I yelled seriously.
“You scared?” he teased.
“Not at all!!” I yelled and let go of his shirt completely. He stopped swerving and speeding.
“You’re not that fun, are you?” Roy asked.
“I’m loads of fun, I just don’t get scared.” I replied.
“Whatever…” Roy replied bored.
“So, you don’t think I’m fun?” I asked rudely.
“Well, you’re hard to get.” He replied.
“I find myself very easy to get.” I stated.
“Well, I the man trying, would beg to differ.” He said.
“So, what kind of murder?” I asked changing the subject.
“A kid murdered his entire family.” Roy stated coldly. I thought about it. This happens to others too.
“You ok? You seem, quiet now.” He turned around.
“I’m…fine.” I said while looking at the ground. He turned around. We pulled into a driveway. I turned around and saw Hilai holding onto Ed tightly. I rolled my eyes.
“Tard…” I mumbled. When we stopped I got off quickly. Maes walked over. He went over to Roy and whispered in Roy’s ear, “You look like you enjoyed your ride.” He smirked in Roy’s ear. Roy nudged him and Hughes chuckled. Kurt came up behind me and gave me a hug.
“You look distant, what’s the matter?” he asked me. I turned my head and whispered, “The murderer, was a kid. He murdered his family.” I replied. Kurt kept hugging me.
“It’s ok.” He whispered. I nodded and walked out of his hug. Roy watched the whole hugging scene while Maes knelt on the floor and examined the dead bodies.
“Roy, can you give me a hand over here?” he called.
“Yeah…” Roy said kind of distant while turning his head from watching me. Then he walked over and helped Hughes.
“Eww.” Hilai squealed while she saw the blood on the ground.
“It’s ok.” I said while putting her head onto my shoulder so she couldn’t see. “Just don’t look at it. Imagine puppies and unicorns!”
“Yummy. I like corn!!” Hilai cheered.
“Umm… I mean… whatever.” I sighed. I snuck a look under the tarp. I saw the dead bodies. I cringed. I remembered looking at my mother and Miss Ilandere lying on the ground. Then Kurt put his hand on my shoulder and all the memories went away. I sighed in relief. If I looked at the sight any longer I might have gone crazy just then.
“I guess it does happen to others.” I stated while I turned to Kurt and stalked off to Maes.
“So, do you know how they were killed? I mean, with what.” I asked.
“They were each shot twice, and two were stabbed in the chest.” Hughes informed.
“Oh.” I said in a daze.
“Just curious, why do you ask?” Maes asked.
“Oh, I don’t know I’m just curious.” I lied. He nodded. I stared at the tarp as my spine tingled. Then I saw a kid come out of a building with police. I watched him walk.
“Who’s that kid?” I asked.
“He’s the kid that committed the murder.” Roy informed me. I watched him get escorted by the police into the police car. I folded my arms around my stomach. I then walked over to Kurt.
“The boy looks like he’s Itachi’s age when…” I started.
“I know.” Kurt hushed me while he put his arm around me, making me feel comforted. I closed my eyes and let him hold me a bit longer to get rid of the terrible memories. Then I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. I looked up into the sky now so I wouldn’t see anything. While I looked up, I covered my throat with my hand… like always. It’s a phobia I have. I’m afraid of when I stick my neck out, someone could come out and slit my throat. Random and creepy, but true. After ten minutes, Maes and Roy walked over to us.
“Alright, that’s all we can do for now.” Roy stated.
“Do you mind if we come with you before we go home?” Edward asked.
“No, not at all.” Roy replied. We walked back to the motorcycles. We were going back to our before partners.
“Hey…” I spoke up.
“Yeah?” Roy asked.
“Can I drive?” I smirked while putting my hand in my pockets.
“Feh… you… want to drive this thing?” he asked shocked.
“Yeah, why not? Kurt can, and so can I. Well, if I want to.” I nodded.
“Go ahead, give it a shot.” Roy smirked. I smiled swung myself on the seat, and grabbed onto the handlebars. I turned around and smiled at him. He smiled and shook his head as he mounted the bike. I started the bike, and drove off.
“Wow, you’re pretty good at this.” Roy stated.
“Yeah… I guess I am.” I smiled. My brother pulled up to the side of us.
“Hey!! When did you start driving motor cycles?!” Kurt shouted to me.
“Oh, about a short time after you did!” I smirked. Kurt chuckled. Roy watched Kurt smile.
“Hey, which way should I turn?” I asked when we got to the spot light.
“Huh? Oh, turn left.” Roy answered. I turned the handlebars left.
“You don’t need to hold on?” I teased him.
“Huh, no… I’m fine.” Roy replied kind of distant. I giggled while I expected him to chuckle too, but he didn’t. I continued till he told me to pull into the near parking lot. I did and stopped the motorcycle in the parking space next to the big building. I turned the motorcycle off, and got off the bike. Roy got off and kicked the kickstand down. We walked together to the others. Together we all walked into the building all the way to an office. The office belonged to Roy.
“Is there an reports for you to give me now?” Edward asked Roy irritated.
“Surprisingly not today.” Roy said while looking through paper work.
“Since there’s nothing else for today, why don’t we drive you guys home?” Maes suggested.
“Ughh….. where is home?” I turned to Kurt. Kurt looked at me. He didn’t know the answer. We never really thought about that.
“You can stay with us,” Alphonse suggested. All three of us turned our heads toward Alphonse.
“Huh?” I asked confused.
“Yeah, I mean… that’s fine.” Edward confirmed.
“You, don’t mind, living….with me?” I asked.
“Well, I guess not.” Edward smirked. I put my hands on my hips and smirked back.
“Alright then, we’re staying with you guys.” I confirmed. Hilai secretly grinned. I rolled my eyes at her silliness.
“How about we take the five of you to dinner?” Maes invited.
“Alright!!” Edward cheered. I shrugged and decided we’d go to, since we’re going to go home with them. Maes and Roy led us to the parking lot again, but instead we got in a black car. The whole car ride was quiet. We pulled up to a building with a green roof. We walked in and sat at a big table. I sat in between Kurt and Hilai and across from Maes and Roy. The Waiter came by and took our order. I only got a bowl of soup, I wasn’t that hungry.
“So what are your guys’ names again?” Roy asked.
“Well, I’m Kurt, this is Hilai, and Aaretta.” Kurt said while pointing to each of us. Roy nodded.
“So, how long have you and Kurt been together, Aaretta?” Maes smirked.
“Wha…huh?” I looked at him confused. Roy looked flustered at the question.
“Well, it’s obvious, that’s why you weren’t interested in Edward” Maes smiled.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…. Aaretta’s not my girlfriend!! She’s my sister!” Kurt exclaimed. Maes looked confused and Roy looked up from the table, not flustered anymore.
“Oh, well…. I’m sorry for assuming that.” Maes apologized.
“It’s fine.” I laughed at thinking Kurt and me were together. Our food came and we ate.
“So, where do you guys live?” I asked the brothers.
“Here in town” Edward replied with a mouthful of food. We all paid part of the bill and left to the parking lot.
“We can take you home,” Roy offered. We all accepted and got I the car. It took ten minutes to get to our new home. We pulled up in the driveway and Roy walked us up to the house.
“We’ll call you if we need you” Roy told Edward. Edward nodded and walked in the house. The others followed.
“Hey, Aaretta,” Roy started. I turned around. “If you wanted…. Umm…. You could come and…. stay with me. If you’d like.” Roy said. I looked him in the eyes. For some reason I actually wanted to stay with him, but I knew I couldn’t; especially because Hilai wanted to stay.
“Roy, I would…. Like to but…. Hilai wants to stay here. I’m sorry. I would if it weren’t for Hilai’s decision.” I replied.
“Oh, It’s okay…” Roy sighed. “I’ll see you soon, okay?”
“Yeah, alright” I smiled.
“Goodnight, Aaretta,” Roy said.
“G-night” I replied and walked in the house. I walked in to see the living room. There wasn’t much in the house. I followed Hilai down the hallway that Ed showed us. The room had two beds, a small closet, and two dressers. One dresser had a mirror. This, was our new home.
Chakra Alchemist: Chapter 2: Second Train Ride
Yeah... this isn't the first chapter... but it gets you going.... :D Umm... it's my version of Fullmetal Alchemist... but... with my characters added. Th. They're the chakra alchemists... umm... you'll get a better idea soon. just... read it and you'll soon know.Sorry i don't have the pic of the chapter. I was just too lazy. 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.
