I sigh. This totally sucks. I was supposed to be picked up over an hour ago! I look around again, but still nobody seems to be anywhere near me. There's a suit of armor over in the corner, but it hasn't moved for half an hour, so I'm pretty sure there's nobody in it.
My name's Mey-Rin. I'm fourteen years old, and as of today I'm an official state alchemist. I have short red hair down to my shoulders and side bangs I usually keep tucked behind my ear. Right now, I'm wearing a pink sweater and black shorts. Umm, am I forgetting something?
"Oi, you Meerin?" I hear a young voice ask, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look up to see a boy with long blonde hair pulled into a braid and golden eyes. He has on a red cloak with tight black clothing underneath and white gloves. His arms are crossed to match his attitude and he looks extremely impatient and irritable.
"It's Maaay-Rinnn," I say with extra emphasis. He rolls his eyes. "Whatever. Just follow me." He says, turning around. He kicks the armor in the corner.
"Come on, Al. She's been sitting here the whole time." He says. The armor sighs and stands, startling me.
"I told you it was her, but you didn't listen." It says. I can't help but stare.
"Well excuse me for looking for a big hairy man. That's what most state alchemists are." He says. The armor turns to look at me.
"I'm sorry about him, your original escort wasn't able to come so we were sent to get you. He's not really happy about that…" It explains. Or he explains, rather. I guess if it was an 'it' it wouldn't be able to talk.
"Oh, no it's fine. I don't mind." I lie. I pick up my bag and speed walk to catch up with them.
"I'm Al. This is Ed, my big brother." He says. I nod and hold out my hand.
"Nice to meet you, Al. Are you guys alchemists too?" I ask. He shakes it and nods.
"Yeah, but my brother is a state alchemist. Like you." He says. I turn to Ed.
"But, you're so young… you can't be…" I mutter, finally realizing his identity.
"Yeah, yeah. The Fullmetal Alchemist. Whatever." He says. I grin.
"That's so cool!" I say. He shrugs. "Yeah, I guess." He mutters, a small grin creeping onto his face.
AN: Okay, I know it got off to a slow start. But I honestly had this idea this morning and just now decided to put it to action. So if you liked it, please drop a review and favorite/follow! It lets me know you're out there!
Byee!
