This is my first attempt at a fan fiction. Before anyone gets mean with me. I don't own FMA or its characters. But the story line and character of sofie is mine. And I know it is going to be kind of slow in the beginning b/c I'm not sure what direction I'm going to move the story in.

"I'm here to see Roy," You say as you sit your bags down and look around the main building at central.

"Roy! A woman dressed in the typical state alchemist garb looks you up and down. "Can I help you?"

"I doubt it I'm already late. I'm suppose to have a meeting with him today at like um well an hour ago" You say putting your hands on your hips.

The woman continues to look at you. You are short; barely 5'1, which makes you, look younger. Around 110 pounds all muscle but not overloaded. You have waist long coal black hair, its wavy but currently pulled into a loose fish bone. Your hair contrast with your skin, that is a shade of fine porcelain and your eyes that are a striking blue.

"I'm the new state alchemist, I can't believe no one knew about me coming"

"What?" Was the response of the small group now standing near you. "You?"

"Yeah" Look down your aren't dressed as one. But lets face it, the uniforms are too stuffy. But you are dressed in some of your nicest clothes. A short black skirt a white tank top and a long blue trench coat. "Whatever I'm through playing games"

You hear murmurs as you push your way through. At least it isn't his most recent girl friend. How old is she? I wonder how Riza will react to her.

I wonder which door is his. Oh well thinking to yourself I'll just pretend that I know where I'm going. Finally you reach a door, where you hear a familiar voice going on and screaming about you being late, and having deadlines. You take a breathe, you certainly look better than the last time he's seen you or at least stronger. You wonder how he will react to seeing you again.

"Sorry I'm late, stupid train" You say pushing your way through the door. You catch his eyes light up and a small smile on his face, before it turns into his usual bored look. You notice a woman standing in the corner her mouth slightly open.

You salute a little sacarastically. "Colonel Mustang, I'm here for my assignment"

He hasn't said anything he is watching the two of you size each other up.

"It's been a while since I've seen you," You say barely above a whisper.

"Who are you" Riza asked, She can't be the new alchemist.

"Hawkeye, meet Sofie, the healing alchemist" Roy says and turns to look out the window

"What no way, she's?"

"I'm what?"

"Well you don't look very strong or very old?" She says, but is giving you a look that spews pure jealous.

Roy turns back around. "Neither does Full Metal, but we know how strong he is"

"I'm plenty old enough and strong enough," You say.

"Prove it," She says, this is definitely a jealous woman. You glance at Roy before continuing; he appears to be transfixed by something outside. You shrug and figure just a small taste; hell not needing a transmutation will be enough. You clasp your hands together, and touch the fish tank. Suddenly the water that was in the tank is now pouring over Rizas head.

"Enough" Roy says.

"Hawkeye, go dry up, you sit"

You turn mouth dropping, as she pushes past you and slams the door.

"I'm not some dog you can order around, I'm going to stand." You say and move in front of the desk. "So have you missed me? How do I look?"

He just says hmmm, and barely gives a smile.

"You've changed some but you have guts and a sprit that's why I decided on this assignment for you."

Hmmm is all you can get from him…Fine then, you think plopping down.

"You will be Edward Elrics partner," Roy says

As the doors burst open again to a young mans voice. " I don't need no damn partner"

You watch as a young man storms up to the Mustang yelling. You also see a suit of armor standing in the doorway, and wonder to yourself if the rumors might be true.

"Brother" The armor says

"Edward, Alphonse I'd like you to meet Sofie" Mustang says gesturing towards you.

You stand "I'm not happy about this either"

Ummm…was all the brothers could get out, as they looked you up and down.

Mustang shook his head and continued, "She is the newest state alchemist. She has a very unique power, she can heal."

"Are we done yet?" You say stretching. "I'm tired from the ride" You turn towards the door and give them a small peek as the skirt rides up when you stretch again.

"Armstrong, will show you." Mustang manages to stutter out. Well at least you get can get some response from him.

You give the guys a charming smile as you walk out the door. You stand by the door for a minute listening.

"Sir"

"Yes, Al"

"She's going to be our partner"

"Yes"

"Why" Ed starts hollering again. "We don't need anyone else, were is she from? Did you help her like you did us?"

"Ed" Mustang starts

"What if we refuse"?

"This is an order Ed." Mustang says

Geez, you have never been rejected so harshly.

"She was pretty though wasn't she brother, she looked nice" You here Al say

"Why do I care about what some girl looks like?" Ed says

That brings you a smile, you decide to go…and start down the hall.
