P.S. I own nothing except my pathetic dreams…

Chapter 1

Ed woke up lying in a cot. He bolted strait up, and glanced around, taking in all his surroundings.

He was in a small tent, and a green haired girl was humming softly to her self-while she cooked.

She turned, and noticed him sitting up. "Ah!" She exclaimed. "I thought you would never wake up!"

Ed groaned, then shook his head blearily.

"Wh…where am I?" He asked no one in particular.

The girl raised her eyebrow. "Have you never heard of the Sacean plains?"

Ed's eyes bulged out, and then he turned his head to the sky.

"TRUTH!" He bellowed. "YOU (Word removed on parents insistence)! THIS WASN'T OUR DEAL!" He screamed towards the sky.

The girl held up her hand to stop anymore screaming, swearing, or any other foul way of speaking, and said, dryly at best, "I don't usually take people into my home, actually not all, and 'cause I did you a favor by saving you, the least you could do is tell me your name."

Ed stopped swearing long enough to say a quick word, "Ed," Then went back to swearing.

The girl firmly said, "My name is Lyn."

Ed shook her out stretched hand, with his left. He tried to swing his legs out of bed, but his left leg didn't respond. He grimaced.

"Uhhhh… could you get an oil can?" He bit his lip, hating being at the mercy of others, especially since he noticed the sword hanging at her waist.

Lyn folded her arms across her chest. "Why?" She asked.

"I just need it."

"For all I know, you might be working for the Talivar bandits and are going to kill me while I sleep."

"Do I look like someone who would smother someone in their sleep?"

"No, but despite your size, you where awfully heavy."

Ed tensed at the word size, than exploded.

"WHO THE (rhymes with luck) ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT A GRAIN OF SAND IS A MOUNTIAN?"

"I will only get the can if you tell me why you need it."

Ed sighed. "I'll show you if you get the oil can."

"FINE." She huffed, and grabbed the oilcan, and turned back to him.

In that short amount of time, he had some how managed to wriggle out of his coat, and roll up his left pant leg.

Lyn gasped.

"You have metal limbs?" She shrieked/whispered.

"Geez…Why else would I ask for oil? For a cow?"

Chapter one is done! ~Dodges rock thrown at head from reader~ OKAY! I'm sorry for it being so short! ~Dodges pitchfork from growing crowed~ SORRY! PLEASE DON'T Kill ME! SAVE ME ED!

Ed: OH **** NO! I'M HUNTING YOU DOWN!

Me: WHAT WOULD AL THINK?

Ed: Who do you think told me to hunt you? Izumi?

Me: AL! HOW COULD YOU?
