"Bye Ma, Bye Da, Buh-Bye Lil' Eddy!" 15 year old Kiroki Elric said to her family as she ran out to catch the bus. Winry and Ed stood together at the front door, on the porch, with the youngest addition to the family, Edward Adrian Elric Jr. in Winry's arms.
"Don't be late getting home today!" Ed shouted to his one and only daughter. The family consisted of the first born; Elijah Tomas Elric: 18 year old male, short blond hair, baby blue eyes; 1st set of twins, Jacob Dari Elric: 16 year old male, long bronze hair, dark blue eyes Jason Darcy Elric: 16 year old male, long bronze hair, dark blue eye, only difference between the two are that Jason has a small mole under his left eye; the 4th child is Trisha Elizabeth Kiroki Elric: 15 year old female, long golden hair like Ed's color, Golden eyes like Ed, and due to a tragic incident as a child (which will be explained in good time, my friends) she now had even automail in the same place; 5th and 6th born were yet another set of twins, James Robert Elric: 10 year old male, short blond hair, cerulean eyes Matthew Ellis Elric: 10 year old male, shaggy bronze hair, cerulean eyes; and finally the last addition to the family was 7th child Edward Adrian Elric Jr.: 5 year old male, short blond hair, green eyes.
Trisha Elizabeth Kiroki Elric was a very much like a female clone of Ed. She even acted the same, if not worse at times. But one difference was she didn't have to give up her childhood although by usually being the only girl of the house and having to always keep after her brothers, both older and younger, took a lot out of her. Why she had to do most of the work? Simple, her father was a General, and her mother ran her own automail shop in Central where they lived. And the girl was often made fun of at school due to her automail, or she was picked on because she was smart. So she knew a lot no thanks to her State Alchemist father. Big whoop! That and much like her father she was … um not the tallest person around. And due to her short temper she often spazzed at them and often fought a lot with people at her school. Basically her life was royally fucked.
Her brothers on the other hand loved their sister and were always on her side and tried to protect her most of the time. But for now back to the story.
As she stepped on the bus, all talking ceased and stares were given.
"Hey look it's the freak!" a boy shouted. She glared and sat down at the very first seat on the bus. Her brothers followed in after her, Elijah sitting next to her and Jacob and Jason sitting behind her, while James and Matthew got on the bus to the Elementary school.
"Hey, Kiki don't let them bug you. Just ignore them and they'll leave you alone." Elijah whispered into her ear.
"But, Eli, they always make fun of me and they call me short, which I ain't." she whispered back.
"Baby sister, you are short."
"WHO'S SO SMALL SHE COULD BE TRAMPLED BY AN ANT!" she spazzed. Stares were placed on her and her angry face grew red.
"And that's why they make fun of you too." He whispered. The stares ceased and she kept quiet the rest of the ride.
Upon getting off the bus, she walked briskly through the parking lot all the way to her locker. Opening she snatched her books out and slammed the door. She turned to walk to homeroom, but collided with something. As she looked up from the floor where she landed and saw an extremely handsome boy bend down and asked,
"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" His onyx eyes twinkling and ebony locks tussling as he moved. He started awkwardly grabbing her books, which she took and quickly stood up, him following her movements.
"I'm fine, now if you'll excuse me." She said, while moving around him and to her 1st hour class. Stepping through the door, she was the first one there. And she quickly went to her seat in the far front corner next to the window.
A few minute later the same boy she had previously collided with strolled in. And as he made his way to the seat next to her, she started fidgeting with the end of her black skirt. (Btw they wear a regular Japanese school girl uniform, anime style, but the skirt and the sailor part of the shirt is black with a red tie, and she wears back thigh high socks to cover her automail leg and a black cardigan to cover her arm, and guys just wear a regular Jap school uniform.)
"I don't think we were properly introduced, I'm Aaron Ray Mustang. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said as he held out his hand. She shakily took it with her human hand, and replied,
"Trisha Elizabeth Kiroki Elric, but you can call me Kiroki."
"Kiroki…that sounds exotic. Wait Elric? You wouldn't happen to be related to Brigadier General, Edward Elric, would you?"
"Aye, he's my father. Wait Mustang? Are you related to Fuhrer Roy Mustang?"
"I'm his son."
"Cool, uh are you new here?"
"Aye, just moved here from East City, convinced my father to let me go to Central High."
"Why'd you want to come here?"
"Cause back at East High, they always pissed me off and made fun of me cause I was smarter than them, and they thought I was just always getting special treatment because of my father and blah, blah, blah the list goes on."
"Heh I know the feeling. Hey Aaron will you promise not to laugh or pick on me if I show you something?"
"What? Totally of course. You seem like you've had to deal with shit like I've had to deal with so show me."
"Kay, just don't scream."
"?"
She carefully pulled off her cardigan and rolled down her thigh socks to her shoes and revealed all her automail. His eyes went wide.
"I'm freaky aren't i?"
"No. Actually Automail has kinda fascinated me since I was little, how'd this happen?"
"Well, it's a long story."
(Bell rings)
"How about you tell me at lunch."
"Sure, now quick before my uncle comes in, give me your schedule."
"Sure (hand it to her) wait what do you mean uncle?"
"My Father's younger brother, Alphonse Elric, teaches here. (gives back schedule) this is great."
"Oh, wait what's great?"
"(Whispers) we have all the same classes now Shh, Uncle's here."
"K."
(The rest of the class come in along with Alphonse.)
"Good morning class and how are you one this beautiful morning?"
"…"Kiroki raised her hand and Al nodded.
"Uncle, it's raining."
"Like I said, beautiful. And because it's such a beautiful morning, you guys and girls are gonna rite a descriptive paper on what it looks like outside, only 1 paragraph but can be as long as you like or short, but you get points taken off if it's off topic, and or, too short. Now begin."
(Incase u hadn't noticed Al teaches Language Arts.)
A groan fills the room except from Kiroki and Aaron.
'This is gonna be so easy' they thought.
(Kiroki's paper)
Rain falls, and the earth is watered by the sky. Raindrops twinkle on the blades of grass. And charcoal clouds cover the sky like a blanket. It is as if all my sorrow is being released. And it feels so wonderful. Tiny individual raindrops hit me and my sorrow is lifted. But only for a moment relief has filled me.
'Done' she thought. She looked around her and saw she had finished before everyone yet again. But as she looked toward Aaron she saw him set his pen down and he looked to her.
'Done?' she mouthed.
He nodded and she pointed at her paper and mouthed,
'Check each other's paper?'
He nodded and they switched.
(Aaron's paper)
Drops of precipitation fall from ebony clouds and it seems as though the world is crying. Crying for all the lost souls and all the innocent lives that has been lost. My shoes become soaked as the walk through the puddles and my clothes and hair stick to me as I am drenched in the wonderful rain. I feel happiness as if the rain washes away my troubles.
Kiroki's POV
This paper is amazing. Like better than mine.
I looked to him and he held up my paper and mouthed an awesome. I did the same with his and we switched back. For the next 45 minutes we sat in silence reading the books we kept in our packs. Mine being Basics of Elementation by my Aunt Raina. (Ed's elder sister) And Aaron's being Introduction to Automail by my own mother. Momma sure would love Aaron. He'd fit right in over at the house. And those eyes are just so- wait what in hell's name am I thinking. Cause I know I ain't fallin for him, I just met the guy for Pete's sake. The bell rang and told us to go to Second hour. In other words, music. Thank heaven. I love Uncle Al but he gives us such easy work. But Miss Elicia always makes music fun. We stepped out into the hallway, and Aaron asked,
"So we have music with Miss Hughes next?"
"Yeah but we all just call her Miss Elicia. I figured you might know her."
"How so?"
"Well Fuhrer Mustang was great friends with Mr. Maes Hughes. So is my dad. And Miss Elicia is his daughter. So… I thought you might know her."
"Wait a second, Mr. Maes is her father? Oh my God, thanks for telling me that, I thought it was just coincidence."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Mr. Maes is my Godfather and Miss Elicia has always been like one of my elder sister."
"You have more sisters?"
"Yeah, 3 older and 3 younger not counting Miss Elicia."
"You're right in the middle eh? SO am I except I have 3 older brothers and 3 younger brothers."
"I always wanted to have a brother."
"I always wanted a sister."
"But my parents are too old now." We said in unison. We laughed our heads off and made our way to class. We walked in still chuckling and I guided Aaron over to one of my only other friends that wasn't one of my brothers.
"Aaron Mustang, I'd like you to meet Cassidy Havoc, daughter of Colonel Jean Havoc, and Catherine Elle Armstrong. She treats us normally."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Aaron, let me guess, Fuhrer Mustang is your father?"
"Correct you are Cassidy. May I call you Cassy?"
"You may."
I laughed. We were all gonna get along fine.
Miss Elicia came in and told us to all find our seats and I told Aaron to sit in between me and Cassy at our table.
"Okay class, today we're going to be working on those songs we were doing Friday, so all of you get out you notebooks, sheet music, and whatever instruments you were using from you lockers in the back and go to the open room." Miss Elicia said. Me and Cassy got up and looked at Aaron.
"Come on you can be in our measly group of two."
"Okay. But first, what does she mean lockers when those are in the hall, and what the hell is an open room."
I pointed to the back wall with the floor length black and red lockers and said,
"People that take music have their own extra music locker where we store our instruments and equipment. And the open room is the room conjoined with this one. It's huge and has all these places to play and also has sound proof booths that we use when we don't want to hear anything else, or we're recording the finished song. Which we should be doing soon. Now question for you, do you play anything?"
"Thanks for the info, and I play the bass."
"Perfect, just what we need."
"What do you play?"
"Umm… Keyboard, piano, guitar, lead vocals, drums."
"And I play back up guitar and drums." Cassy said.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked me.
"We're going in a booth to record. Here's the sheet music now start figuring it out."
No later than 5 minutes when we were in the booth he had already started picking out all of it on the bass I had provided him with.
"I guess you're really good on bass." I said to him.
He looked up at me and smiled,
"NO I've only been playing for 6 years."
"Smartass."
"Yes I am. Now are you ready? I've got this simple shit memorized."
"Yes. Uh Cassy your doing drums today. Uh so let's start."

I set my guitar down and looked at the others. Cassy's face had an awe expression on it, and her dirty blond cropped hair standing on end.
"That was so cool!" She said her blue eyes bugging out.
"Everything is cool to you Cass." I smirked and Aaron's face was filled with utter amazement.
"I didn't know you played that well. Who taught you?"
"My Dad did. I never even knew he played till My Mom's 32nd birthday when she asked Dad if he would play her the song he wrote for her when they were first newlyweds."
"So you were 11 when you first started?"
"Yeah after Mom's party I asked him if he would teach me."
"He taught you good. My oldest sister taught me."
"Heh, well we're done now so let's give Miss Elicia the tape and then we can hang out awhile." Cassy said. She grabbed the tape out of the recorder and headed out, me and Aaron following swiftly behind. After giving the tape to Miss Elicia, she told us we could pack up our things and head to The Garden and stay there till we were done with 2nd hour. We walked briskly outside to The Garden and sat down on the stone bench in front of the cherry blossom tree.
"So are you gonna tell me how you got all of this or what?" Aaron asked, gesturing to my phantom limbs. I checked my watch, we had half an hour left till 3rd hour. I nodded and revealed them again.
"Cass, you were there when it happened, so if I forget anything, please remind me, k."
"Kay"
"Alright… When I was like 7 years old, during the 1st Drachma war, my father was leading the troops up in the North, as you may know. (He nodded) Well, also during this time my father was captured and tortured during this time for the Key to a Philosopher's Stone. Seeing that he would never give it up they went after a hostage that they knew he would reveal if threatened. That hostage, was me."
I heard him gasp and his eyes went wide.
"Here's where I get fuzzy cause when they took me, I had been drugged and didn't know it."
Flashback
7 year old Kiroki and 6 year old Cassidy sat peacefully on a blanket in the back yard, just watching clouds.
"Cassy,, look that one looks like a Bunny!" Kiroki squealed. Her golden eyes sparkling with excitement.
" Hey you know what that one looks like?" she said pointing to a cloud.
"A stick?"
"NOPE, a cigarette that's just been lit."
"Ew!"
"Well it dose!"
"GIRLS! TIME FOR LUNCH!" Winry called. They ran swiftly to her house and headed to the kitchen bar. Two ham and tomato sandwiches before them with a glass of milk set before them. They started scarffing down the sandwiches fast.
"Mom, Cassy said one of the clouds looked like a cigarette that had just been lit." Kiroki said making a face while looking at her glass of milk. Winry chuckled and said,
"That's because Cassy spends too much time around her father."
"Well Daddy's cool!" Cassy said. Winry rolled her eyes and looked toward her daughter that was eyeballing the glass of milk with disgust.
"Baby girl, drink your milk." Winry said. Kiroki's eyes narrowed.
"You drink it, I hate milk it's like drinking vomit."
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MILK'S GOOD FOR YOU DRINK IT!"
"FORGET IT I HATE WHAT I HATE IT'S NOT LIKE I'LL DIE CAUSE I DON'T DRINK THAT CRAP!"
"JEEZE THEN THIS IS WHILE YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE SIZE OF A BEAN!"
"A BEAN?"
"Yeah a bean." Winry said putting a hand on top of her daughters head.
'Déjà voo?' Winry thought.
"Now, baby girl drink your milk."
"No."
"Trisha Elizabeth Kiroki Elric you better drink that milk write now."
"No."
"Trisha."
"That's not my name."
"IT's the name on your birth certificate and Damnit it's your name."
"Well I don't answer to it so get over it."
"Trisha drink the damn milk."
"No. Now leave me alone." She said.
"Hey look there's my ride, Bye Mrs. Elric! See ya later Kiroki!" Cassidy said while fleeing the house.
"Trisha drink it now. Or tonight I will tell your father."
"Quit saying that when we both know good and well he was captured by the Drachmans."
"Your father is safe in Briggs right now."
"You can't hide everything, Mom, I saw the telegram, and I'm not stupid."
"Trisha."
"I'm leaving." She said while getting up and walking out of the house.
"TRISHA!" Winry yelled as she saw her daughter run down the street. At this time Elijah, Jacob, and Jason came downstairs.
"Mom, what's going on." Elijah asked.
"I need you three to go and get your sister. She ran away and she doesn't know what the Drachmans could do to her."
They nodded and headed out the door. Meanwhile with Kiroki.
"Damn mother, so damn controlling." She muttered while turning into an alley, unaware of the dark men following her both behind and forward. She bumped into something and looked up and caught herself from screaming. Before her towered a tall dark man, Drachman whisky covering his scent.
"Well, well, well, boys. Looks like she came to us. Looks like we can wrap this up quickly." He said, a Drachman accent covering his voice. She shivered in fear as he grabbed her arm, hoisting the tiny blond over his shoulder. She screamed.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO YOU FLITHY DRACHMANS! DAMNIT GET YOUR GRIMY ASS HANDS OFF ME!"
"Should I knock her out, Brother." He asked one of his companions.
"I think so. Can't have the shortie screaming out our position can we?"
"WHO YOU CALLIN SO SHORT SHE NEEDS A STEP LADDER JUST TO SEE OVER A PEBBLE?" She spazzed.
~With the other Elric Children~
"WHO YOU CALLIN SO SHORT SHE NEEDS A STEP LADDER JUST TO SEE VER A PEBBLE?" a voice spazzed.
"Defiantly, Kiki. Come on let's go." Elijah said.
"Right." Jacob and Jason said in unison. They ran towards the spazzing child and saw Kiroki over a shady man's shoulder.
"SISTER!" Elijah yelled.
"COME ON LET'S GET AWAY BEFORE THE FUZZ GET'S HERE!" one of the Drachmans shouted. They retreated into their van, with a now passed out 7 year old Kiroki.
"We're too late." Jason said.
(1 month later, Drachman headquarters, interrogation room)
"Tell us the damn secret, Elric." A Drachman spat at Edward.
"Now why would I do that?" he asked.
"Maybe cause we have something of yours, Elric. Bring the twerp in Boys." He said. A bruised and mutilated Kiroki was brought before him. Ed's eyes bugging at her sight. Her right arm and left leg chopped off. Bruises covering her all over and scars that might never heal all over her. Her tired golden eyes barely focusing on the form before her. Her long golden hair sticking to her, and a fever glaze over her eyes.
"Daddy?" she muttered as she fell onto him.
"We'll give you two a few minutes of privacy. But if you try and escape, we'll be watching, and we'll kill the pipsqueak."
"I'm not short you bastard." She muttered. The Drachmans left the room and Edward held his daughter in his arms tightly.
"What did they do to you, Baby girl?"He asked, his eyes blinking back tears.
"Nothing I couldn't handle, Daddy." She muttered, her face lighting up a smile.
"Even at this time you have the energy to smile, that's my girl."
"Daddy, helps on the way."
"And how do you know that?" he asked.
"Because last night I sent a message to Mustang on where we are. I'm smart and I can pick a lock and sneak down a hall even without proper limbs. It's not that hard. Surprised you haven't done it already. I think you're getting old." She laughed.
"You're always full of surprises, Trisha."
"Stop calling me that."
"What?"
"Trisha. I don't go by it. I'm not my Grandmother no matter how much you wish is was."
"Oh, Baby girl." He whispered as he looked at her. Her eyes closing as she drifted into unconsciousness. At that time the Drachman base was invaded by the Amestrian Military.
"General, there you are. Let's get you and your daughter out of here." Brigadier General Havoc said as he untied them.
"Havoc, How long have we been here?" Edward asked as he was freed and stood up shakily clutching his daughter in his arms.
"You? About 7 months, her about a month. She went missing when she was walking down the street."
"They kidnapped her? I'll kill them." He said. As they walked out of the building.
"Whoa their boss, there already dead. Now let's get you and Kiki back to Central."
"Yeah, right."
End of Flashback
"So that's how all this happened?" Aaron asked while looking at my phantom limbs.
"As far as I can remember."
"Gosh, how long did you have to recover?"
"Well, I had my right arm and left leg severed, so I had to have automail done, shortly after everything else was healed, which was, mostly a lot of scars. And that only took like a week to heal. When I had the automail installed, most people are finally healed and rehabilitated after 3 years. I did it in 6 months. Guess strong will and stubbornness runs in the family."
"Whoa. You're like crazy aren't you?"
"Yes. Yes I am."
We all laughed and the bell rang. The rest of the day passed and soon we were all headed home. My brothers asked if I was taking the bus and I replied with a no. I had to go to HQ today. Help out Dad, I started down the way to HQ, which was like 1 block away. But I turned my back and saw Aaron following me.
"Where are you going, Aaron?" I asked him.
"Central HQ. And you?"
"Same."
"May I accompany you?"
"Of course." I replied. WE made our way on to HQ and soon were at the door to the Fuhrer's office. Where my Dad told me to meet him. WE stepped into my Dad standing by the Fuhrer.
"And here she is, Mustang. I'd like you to meet my daughter, Major Trisha Elizabeth Kiroki Elric. Also the Songbird Alchemist. And it looks as if she's brought someone with her." My dad said. I brought my automail arm up into a salute.
"It's an honor meeting you, Fuhrer Sir." I said.
"At ease, Songbird. Aaron this is General Edward Elric as you may know. Aka the Fullmetal Alchemist." Fuhrer Mustang said.
"It's an honor to meet you, General. I'm Aaron Mustang."
"Thank you, Aaron, I'm assuming you go to school with my daughter?" My dad asked. I saw a smirk on his face form.
"Uh. Yes sir, were in all the same classes."
"Good, make sure she doesn't get in trouble." My dad said. I saw him wink at me.
"Dad?" I said.
"Just picking at you, Trish."
"Okay. I just wanted you to meet the Fuhrer, Trish. You can go on over to the office, I'm right behind you. But, where are your brothers?"
"They went home to change. They'll be here soon enough though." I said while sighing.
"Major you are dismissed, Aaron, you as well." The Fuhrer said. We left the room and Aaron turned to me and said.
"Since when are you a Major? Let alone a State Alchemist?"
"Since I was 13. My older brothers are all State Alchemist. I don't know what my younger brothers are gonna do though. I think Matt will be following in my Mom's footsteps though."
"Who's your mom?"
"Winry Marie Elric. Formally Winry Marie Rockbell." His eyes widened.
"THE WINRY? YOU GOTTA LET ME MEET HER!"
"Sure sure, I just gotta make sure it's okay for you to come over." I said. MY dad came out of the Fuhrer's office and started walking with us.
"Aaron, tonight your family will be joining my family for dinner."
"Awesome." He said with big enthusiastic eyes.
"Awesome?" Dad asked while eyeing me.
"HE's mom's Fan club. I think he's a big as Gear Head as Mom."
"Ah. I think your Mom's gonna like him. SO tell me Aaron, how many siblings do you have?"
"Uh. 3 older sisters and 3 younger sisters. Monica's the oldest. Rachel and Robin are the older twins. Emily and Jane are the younger twins, and Leah is the baby."
"Heh, sounds about like our family backwards, with 6 boys and 1 girl in the middle. Eh Trish?"
"Just what I was thinking, Dad." We walked into the office and all began working. Even Aaron. Apparently he's a State Alchemist, too. His second name? Nutz n' Bolts. Apparently his alchemy has something to do with machinery. My older brothers eventually came in, as well as Aaron's older sisters. All of them State Alchemist. Elijah is Thunder, Jacob is Wind, Jason is Earth. Monica is Water, Rachel is Light, and Robin was Lava. 5:00 came and everyone left the office for the day. When I got home I went to change out of my stupid school uniform. I undid my braid, then redid the frizzy thing. I changed into a black tank top that was skin tight and showed off my curves. I pulled on my red shorts that hugged my hips and put on the locket that my dad gave me for my 10th birthday. It was the only piece of jewelry I actually could really stand to where. Well unless you want to count my many ear piercings. The locket was silver and in a unique star shape with an Amethyst in the middle. My Dad brought it all the way back from Aerugo. Did I mention that we shared a birthday? I checked my clock, 5:30. Just enough time to help mom finish dinner. SO glad that I didn't have to cook tonight.
I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen and made my way over to Mama.
"SO. What can I do?" I asked.
"Help your father set the table than put all the food on it." She answered.
"M'kay." I said. After I finished doing all that, it was 6:00 and the Mustang Family was there. I heard the doorbell ring and I saw Matt answer the door. I quickly followed him.
"Hello, Fuhrer sir. Won't you and your family come in?" I said, putting on a forced smile.
"Trisha, it's after hours you can just call me Roy, or Mr. Mustang."
"Very well then, Mr. Mustang." I led he and his family to the dining room and motioned them to sit somewhere at the long table. Soon both of our family's were sitting and we had started feasting. I sat by daddy and soon we were going at it, seeing who could get down all their food down fastest. I was determined to win and not fail myself in front of the company. I won by a millisecond. I smirked at daddy and I heard Mr. Mustang say.
"Well looks like someone does happen to have a larger stomach than you, Edward."
"Shut it Roy."
"I honestly wish you two wouldn't do that in front of company. It's disgusting. And Trisha you are a girl. It's not ladylike." My mom said.
"Who said I was ladylike." I stated.
I heard her humph and I looked at Aaron who hadn't taken his eyes off my mother since he first laid eyes on her. I rolled my eyes and said to my Mom,
"Hey mom, I forgot to tell you, Aaron is your fan club. I think he's about as gear headed as you about automail."
"Aaron is this true?" she asked. Her eyes glowing with her automail sparkle.
"The truest it could ever be!" His eyes sparkeling. Everyone else sweat dropped as she pulled him into her workshop.
"Well I guess we know why he's the Nutz n' Bolts Alchemist, Eh?" My dad asked sheepishly. After we had all finished dinner and Aaron and Mom had come back from her workshop, we all gathered in the huge family room and started talking amongst ourselves.
"Hey Everyone!" My father said, "Everyone knows it's not a real party until the Songbird sings." He said while looking dead at me. I gulped. I really didn't want to do this in front of so many people.
"Uh. How about not me." I whispered. My voice and self shrinking. I felt sweat drop on my neck.
"No no no, you are the Songbird after all so how about you sing us something." My dad said.
"Please don't."
"Let's call her out then. Trisha, Trisha, Trisha." He chanted, everyone joining in. My face grew red.
"Uh…I'll get my guitar?" Everyone cheered. I sweat dropped and headed up to My Attic. I pulled the leather black case out and grabbed my Hummingbird. I ran back down to the family room and everyone else started cheering again. I sat down on the couch and said,
"If you really want to hear something, Mama I need your help and all the other girls help. Everyone knows this I 'm for sure." My mom came by side and whispered,
"Kelas?"
I nodded. And started playing.

Everyone was clapping and singing along when we stopped.
"Do another!" Mr. Mustang said.
"I couldn't."
"But you must, Trisha." My dad said.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes. Or maybe me and you could do something this time."
"Okay." I replied. I loved singing with dad. It was so much easier. I could relax for with dad than mama cause mama was always wanting perfect song, while dad accepts nonperfection.
"Butterfly fly away?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded and started
You tucked me in, turned out the light Brushed my teeth and combed my hair You had to do it all alone And when I couldn't sleep at night Caterpillar in the tree Wish you may and wish you might Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
Flap your wings now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
I heard clapping and once again people wanted to hear another one. Might as well. I went over to the piano and started playing.
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest So here's to everything, coming down to nothing And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong Oh, back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything? 'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong And I stare at the phone he still hasn't called And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
When I caught your eye
We caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby, what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said, forever and always
Oh, oh
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, oh
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, I don't think so
Oh, oh
Back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always!
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always,
Yeah
I heard clapping and went back to the couch. I checked the clock…10:00. Thank the Lord it was the weekend. I could sleep in this weekend.
"Alright, well I think it's time we all left and got some sleep." Mr. Mustang said. I sighed peacefully. Thank Heaven, now I can sleep. They left and I went to bed. Today hadn't been as bad as I had projected. The school year was half over as was my 1st year of high school. But there was an obstacle this year that everyone had to do in the High school. For girls the Father Daughter Camping Trip. For guy the Mother Son Camping Trip. Everyone is designated a spot in the remote mountain woods outside of Central. Each Father Daughter or Mother Son group would be designated to stay a whole week living off only what you bring. But No tents unless made out there and you have to catch your own food. No flashlights, just the basic things they give you. OH the joy. But 1 whole week of Dad all to myself. They never made us do this before but now I think it's just cool that I get to have it just me and dad. Poor mom though, she has to have 3 boys with her for a week. Sad.
END OF CHAPTER!_
How was it was it good? Was it bad? I'll reply when it's reviewed. I don't own anything except the OCs. The songs were Take Me Away from Freaky Friday, Kelas from the FMA Movie soundtrack, Butterfly Fly Away by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, and Forever and Always Piano version by Taylor Swift. Yes I do like a big variety of music. Please Review!
