-1 When dawn broke over the Central skyline a tall young man got up, as he walked around and removed some streamers from the place some things said "Happy eighteenth birthday Neru." When he finished picking up his apartment he sat down and ate breakfast, after he ate he went to his room he and showered. After his shower he got dressed in his standard State Alchemist uniform and he then spiked his long thick green hair. As he walked down to Central Headquarters he passed Elysia Hughes house, with a slight blush he kept walking, Neru had liked Elysia ever since he first saw her big green eyes and her lush blonde hair. When he got to headquarters he straightened his uniform and knocked on General Armstrong's office door. General Armstrong then called him in and handed Neru a folder with his assignment, when Neru opened it a shower of Armstrong's pink sparkles flew all-over Neru's uniform and hair. As Neru wiped all the sparkles off his uniform, he shook his head and the sparkles slowly drifted to the ground. When the sparkles were cleaned up Neru finally got to read his assignment, the mission was an escort mission for Elysia Hughes.
After Neru got a hold of himself he finished reading and he was to escort her to prom. Neru started to complain to the general about the mission, " Come on general you can't expect me to escort her! uhhhh sir." "Come on now don't complain why once in my youth I escorted a lovely maiden on a date!" droned the general. "General that was yesterday you went on a date hardly your youth" Neru shouted as he slammed the folder on the desk. " Neru come now just take the mission I know you have feelings for her" Armstrong whispered. Neru jumped back and blushed heavily and said, "General how do you know?" "I am paid to know, plus that intuition comes from the Armstrong generations." Armstrong proclaimed while remembering the past. Neru rolled his eyes grabbed the folder and stormed out of the office, Armstrong kept droning on as he talk about his family.
