It was sunny that day. Why was it sunny? Why was the sun shining brightly when her mother was taken from her? That's the little detail Edward Elric hated about that day. Her little brother, Alphonse, was the only blood related relative she had left now from that stupid sunny day. Sure, she had Winry and Granny, but they weren't her blood. She decided that she would protect her brother.
Two years passed and the siblings grew older. They found their father back at their house, Edward was pissed, to say the least, and Alphonse was over joyed! Father was back!
Edward slowly grew to forgive the old man and she spent plenty of time learning about his adventures. However, she still hated him. She blamed him for their mother's death.
Then, something happened. Something she would ALWAYS regret. She told him that. She told him she blamed him and how she HATED him. She didn't hate him, of course, she was just angry.
It was raining that day. That dreadful, dreadful day, it was raining. She shouted, he replied softly. She cried, so did he, but silently. She was hurt and he was too. He was heading out to the train when the argument started.
"You're leaving again?!" she shouted at her father. He looked at her apologetically, "I'm sorry, Edward. I—"
"Just go! Let us suffer again! It's your fault she's dead! You made her suffer so much!" she growled out angrily, tears starting to swell up in her eyes. "I never meant to I—"
Hohenheim didn't have time to finish his statement when Ed stepped forward, now standing on the tracks, "Like hell!"

The golden haired girl sat up quickly, drenched in sweat. Panting, the young girl looked at her alarm clock: 4 o'clock… in the morning. With a sigh, the small girl got up and tiredly waddled to the bathroom. Getting 4 hours of sleep each night wasn't good for her. She splashed her face to wake up a bit and waddled over to the shower, turning it to hot and sat by the door, waiting for it to warm up.
After her shower, the blonde girl got dressed into a school uniform and went to wake up her brother.

An albino girl and a girl with greenish black hair were sitting by the window in a mostly empty classroom around 7 o'clock, an hour before school was supposed to start.
"Hey Allen, Lenalee, did ya hear?" Their orange haired friend said, sprinting up to their desks, "We're gettin' new students today!"
"Eh? Really?" Allen replied, surprised. "Oh yeah! Komui-nii-san told me! He didn't tell me their genders though. Their last name is Elric though!" Lenalee squealed excitedly. Allen looked confused and shrugged, waiting for the time to pass so the bell rings.
An hour passed faster than Allen thought, when she heard shouting from outside the door that went something like this: "Who're you callin' so tiny you need a microscope just to see 'em?!"
"N-Nee-san, he didn't say that…"
Then there was various crashes and a girlish scream from Komui when the class door opened. "Sorry about that," he coughed, regaining his composure, "Today you'll notice we have two new students, Edward" he pointed to the short girl, "and Alphonse Elric." He pointed to the taller boy.
Allen stared at Edward for a long time before noticing that the golden haired beauty was staring back with dull golden brown eyes.
(I felt I should clarify that Allen and the others all think Edward is male.)
Allen noticed that Edward's hands clenched tightly while he (she) was staring out to the class.
"Hurt my little brother and I will hurt you." (S)he growled out at the class. Alphonse blushed lightly, covering his face with his hand, which got him plenty of squeals from the girls. "Ed…"
"Tch…" (S)he scoffed, and walked to the back of the class next to the window and stared out it dully. Alphonse bowed politely, "I'm sorry for Edward's actions." And with that he took the seat next to Ed.

The short blonde girl was wandering through the halls looking for her brother who had left a little before her. "Alphonse?" She called out, looking around a corner. She was glad she did, she saw Alphonse and the white haired girl from first period getting shouted at by some macho chum.
"Ed!" Alphonse shouted, terrified and glad at the same time. The macho guy looked where the small frail boy was and noticed Ed, "You wanna start somethin' shorty? Huh?" he taunted with a smirk. Ed smirked darkly, "What if I say yes? Huh?" she replied, copying him. The bigger guy rolled up his sleeve revealing a metal arm. Al and Ed tensed for a moment until Ed screamed angrily and jumped on the guy and started beating him senseless.
(...)
The white haired girl watched in shock at the smaller blonde boy (girl) beat the bigger one without hesitation. "You bastard! Die! Die!" Allen didn't know why Ed was so angry when all of a sudden Alphonse grabbed her wrist making him (her) stop.
That's when Allen saw those scared, sad eyes for the first time. And she was terrified, to say the least.
(...)
Edward stopped in her tracks when she felt something stop her arm from moving again. Turning her head, she saw her little brother holding her wrist. "Nee-san…" She hadn't noticed that she had had another panic attack at the sight of the arm. She fell limp in her brother's grasp, looking ashamed and stood up. "Sorry, Al…" she said quietly, ruffling his hair, "I'm alright now." Alphonse smiled at his sister.
Allen noticed the blonde boy (girl) walking up to her and smiled shyly, "Th-thank you…" The boy (girl) nodded, rubbing the back of his (her) head awkwardly, "S-Sorry you had to see that," (s)he stuck out his (her) hand and continued, "I'm Edward Elric."
"A-Allen Walker." She stammered. The blonde grinned, lowering his (her) hand before Allen could shake it and placed it in his (her) pocket. Allen heard Ed sigh, "It's best you don't get involved with me, Allen."
And with that, the blonde walked off with his (her) brother, leaving Allen dumbfounded at this person she was now rather curious about.
-OMAKE-
"Oi, Boss, are you alright?" some random skinny guy asked the big macho guy, who lay KO-ed on the ground in the hallway. "Y-Yeah…" the macho guy groaned.
