Chapter 1
Edward Elric sat on the bumpy train staring out the window. His brother Alphonse sat in the seat across from him. "Brother, what's wrong?" he asked Ed. Ed continued to stare out the window, ignoring his brother. "Ed, are you worried about seeing her again?" Al asked. Ed looked at him angrily, No Al!" he shouted, "I could care less that we're going to see her again" Ed grumbled incoherently under his breath and once again turned his attention to the window. He now closed his eyes, deep in thought, remembering past days, past years. He remembered hearing a soft voice, and he remembered her face. "Come on Edward", the voice said happily. "You promised you'd go fishing with us this time"
"All right, quit nagging me I'm coming" he said. The girl clutched his hand and pulled forcing him to follow. He blushed as her soft hand held his, he'd never felt this way about a girl before
"This is the perfect spot, Joshua and I always come here. I wish he could today but he has to stay in bed" she said. Ed sat beside her, holding his fishing pole, this was the first time they'd ever gone finishing without the others. Usually Al would tag along with Ed and Joshua with her. This time they were alone. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed deeply.
"We are so alike Ed, we both are orphans, we have little brothers that depend on us, it's almost like we're kindred spirits" She whispered so as not to disturb the non-biting fish.
"I'm so glad I met you, I'm so glad fate brought you here." Ed's face turned bright red and he gripped the fishing pole tighter. His palms were drenched in sweat. She smelled so good and she was so soft.
"Edward, why are you so quiet?" she asked
"I don't know what to say." He replied. "I can't find the words to express how I'm feeling right now"
"Your red face says it all" she said giggling. "I think I know what you want to say." She said confidently
"Oh yeah what's that?" Ed asked. Her face now redder than his, she reaches over and kisses his lips. Ed's eyes wide open he hesitates and finally clutches her shoulders. They eventually embrace and kiss very passionately. "Edward, I love you" She whispered in his ear.
"I love you too Rosette" He replied as they hug
The loud whistle of the train brings Ed back to reality. He heard the conductor announce "Final stop, New York City"
Ed stood up and stretched. "Ready Al?" He asked.
"Yes, let's head to the Magdalene Order"
