"Al, why do we have to go to HQ, again?" asked Edward Elric for the tenth time. "I told you Brother, Colonel called for us" said Alphonse Elric sighing. "Damn, I don't want to!" yelled Ed.
They finally arrived a HQ and were at Roy's office. "Hey, Colonel we're here!" yelled Ed walking in. But he was surprised to see not Mustang but a girl. "Hey who are you?" said Ed rudely. "Brother! Don't be rude" scolded Al. The girl looked up from the book she was reading.
"Oh…hi" she said getting up. She was wearing cargo pants and a dark purple shirt that said "I dare you to mess with me" on it. "Uh…hi, um where's the Colonel?" asked Al politely. "Oh, him, he'll be back later…I think" said the girl. "And you are?" Ed asked rudely once again. "Oh, I'm Ari, nice to meet you" she said.
"Right" said Ed boredly "Don't care, just need to know where the Colonel is". "Ed, stop being rude!" said Al "whatever it's ok….uh" said Ari "what are your names anyway". "Oh, I'm Alphonse Elric and this is my older brother" said Al "yeah I'm Edward Elric" said Ed. "Nice to meet you" said Ari smiling. Suddenly Roy burst in "ah, Fullmetal, good you're here. And I see you have meet Ari." said Roy.
"Uh, yeah whatever, so what did you need me for anyway?" asked Ed. "Ah right, Edward, Arieia, you two will be partners until further notice" said Roy "that is all" he went back to his paperwork. An awkward silence filled the room. "WHAT!?!" Ed screamed "WAIT, SHE'S AN ALCHEMIST!?" "Yes, she is" said Roy calmly. "WHY THE HELL DO I NEED A PARTNER!!!!!" screamed Ed. "Orders are orders" said Roy "anyway Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric meet Arieia Piper, the Aura Alchemist". "Hello, Fullmetal" said Ari calmly. "Please don't call me Arieia, Ari is fine". "Oh, and Mustang?" She asked sweetly "yes" said Roy, not looking up from his papers. "WHY THE HELL DO I NEED A PARTNER!?!?!?!?!" screamed Ari.
