yay new ideas! I thought of this but I don't know how or when I did. :/ oh well here ya go!


Ms. Trisha Elric walked happily into her volunteer choice. She wore her usual blue buttoned dress and simple blue flats. A little blonde boy was walking beside her. He had short shaggy almost whiskey colored hair with gray-green eyes. He wore a bright green t-shirt with a white unbuttoned long sleeve cover up and white shorts with matching colored shoes. The place they were entering was an older orphanage in central. Ms. Trisha had moved here a few years ago for job purposes. She worked at the market selling home grown fruits and vegetables, which tended to be the favorites of everyone at the market that day. The front desk was a complete circle minus the small gap for people to move in and out of. At the desk sat an older, perhaps 40, woman with short, brown, curly hair. She had big blue eyes and small round glasses perched on her nose. She wore a long sleeve red shirt and gray skirt with matching high heels. She smiled widely at them as they entered.

"Ah Hello! Are you here to adopt?" Trisha laughed lightly.

"Oh no, i'm afraid not. I'm here to volunteer." The old woman clapped softly.

"Oh wonderful! You must be Ms. Trisha correct?" Trisha nodded and the boy tugged on her hand slightly. Trisha looked down with a small smile.

"Yes, Alphonse?" She asked laughing at the boy's completely serious expression.

"Where's the kids? I don' see any mom." He asked, a very childlike tone in his voice. The old woman laughed at this and stood up.

"Right this way. You'll be with the 5 through 10 age group." Trisha nodded and began walking down a hallway with the woman, Alphonse not far behind. "You'll love all the children, they're all simply wonderful. There is one that I believe you'll like especially." Trisha arched a brow.

"Oh? Why's that?" The old woman stopped at a lage room. It was a library, the shelves made of dark wood and soft chairs placed everywhere.

"Simple. He is Alphonse's age, so he could play with him, and because of his personality." She pointed to a chair at the far left wall. Sat there was a small boy about Alphonse's size, with golden hair and eyes. He wore a bright red t-shirt with black shorts and shoes. He was reading intently, when Trisha looked closer she laughed slightly.

"Oh, my does he know what he's doing? He's reading a dictionary!" The old woman nodded.

"He's very aware. He's far more intelligent then he may appear. Edward!" She called the last part to the boy. Said boy looked up mournfully before softly closing the book and standing up. He walked to a nearby shelf and put the book in before calmly walking towards them. He stopped in front of them with his hands clasp behind his back.

"Yes, Ms. Ryu? Do you need me for something?" He asked, a very child like yet intelligent ring in his voice. The old woman nodded and motioned towards Trisha and Alphonse.

"I simply want you top meet your new caretaker for a while. Her name is Ms. Trisha. This is her son Alphonse." Edward noddd and looked at them. Hwe smiled berightly and waved.

"Hi Ms. Trisha! Hi Alphonse!" Alphonse smiled back.

"You can just call me Al." Trisha smiled.

"Strange, usually Alphonse gets to know someone more before saying that. He's incredibly shy you know." She said to Ms. Ryu. Ms. Ryu smiled.

"You can bring him over anytime! Edward would love a play mate."By now the boys were long gone, back to reading Edward's book. Trisha laughed again.

"It seems he may learn new things while here!" Trisha looked at the book cover and her eyebrows arched. "Such strange markings on that book..." Ms. Ryu looked over before laughing.

"Oh my, it seems he may teach your son Alchemy." Trisha smiled.

"So why is he here? " She asked, clearly talking about Edward. Ms. Ryu's face fell. She cleared her throat.

"Well, we'll save that for another time. I will tell you it is not a happy story...the poor boy. I'm surprised he's so open considering all that's happened to him in his short life time." Trisha's brow furrowed.

"I do hope you tell me." Ms. Ryu nodded.

"Oh I will, just not now, I do not wish to ruin your day."


"See this Al, this'll make a doll or anything you want appear out of the ground!" Edward said enthusiastically. Alphonse grinned.

"Cool! I wanna try!" Edward laughed, a childish ring sounding through.

"We can in my room, Ms. Ryu won't let me do Alchemy anywhere else." Alphonse nodded. "Alright lets go then." Edward siad before taking the book and walking to the door. Alphonse quickly followed.
