Eternally Yours Chapter 1- Mystery Girl

It was late at night in East City. Talk had spread around the city about a man with a scar on his face, who murdered countless state alchemists. People had made sure not to stay out too late, in fear of meeting this "scarred" person. However there was one still strolling the streets of East City. A young girl, slightly taller than average height, long golden blond hair flowing down to the back of her knees and a red ribbon tied just at the base of her hair. She was wearing an open white button-up shirt, a black tight tank top underneath and a short black flowing skirt and white tights.

She walked into a cheap hotel inn requesting the cheapest room the inn had.

"Excuse me, young miss," said the inn keeper as he was leading this young woman to her room.

"Aren't you a bit young to be requesting an inn on your own?" The girl turned around to face the man as she took a step in her room. The man shook a little when he caught sight of her eyes. The deepest set of golden ever displayed to him. The look she gave him could intimidate any man or woman, but couldn't help to be intrigued by them, as if there was a great history in which the eyes had witnessed waiting to be told.

"It's okay if you're worried about why I'm here on my own, I can take care of myself, and no I'm not meeting an older man if that's what you're really concerned about." said the young mystery.

"If you say so, but will you at least tell me your name?" said the man, he felt instinctively that he should know.

The girl gave him a small smile and said "The name is Serenity."

"What? No last name ma'am?" the inn keeper asked Serenity.

"There is, but it is irrelevant." Then with that she shut the door leaving a bewildered man at the door step. Thinking why a beauty should be walking alone at night by herself.

Chapter 2- Vague Memory

It had been two days since Edward and Alphonse, escorted by Major Armstrong, had arrived to Resembool after their incident with Scar. Things had been quiet and peaceful and Winry was working hard on restoring Edward a new automail limb.

Edward and Alphonse were sitting outside, Alphonse still in his disembodied state, and Edward with his new temporary prosthetic limbs. Both of them reminiscing about their past.

"Hey Al?" questioned Edward.

"Yes brother," replied Alphonse.

"How…long has it been since we've seen her?"

"Who brother?" asked Alphonse, confused, yet knowing who he meant.

"You know who I mean, Ree!" exclaimed Edward.

"Brother…" sighed Alphonse. Then looked up to the sky with his metallic helmet for a head and said "You should know that answer brother, we haven't seen her since Mom's burial, when she mysteriously appeared and then disappeared." The last part sounding like a whisper.

"Al, I wonder if she's okay, sometimes, after the incident with Nina, she appears in my head. The face she made at the funeral...I regret what I said and did to her but I couldn't help it. She left with that Bastard and suddenly came only to the funeral, and she didn't even bother to bring him with her! Well at least that's what I thought then. Honestly how could a kid have traveled on her own. "

"Brother do you think she's okay?" Al asked with a worried tone. "I at least hope she's still with father."

"Well Al I hope she is. But we shouldn't worry too much about that now, we have to worry about ourselves and getting our bodies back. Then maybe we can work on finding her."

"Yeah brother, I just hope…I just hope she didn't turn out like Nina."

Meanwhile in East City

Roy Mustang was at his desk in his office, unwillingly filling out some paperwork when he got a call.

"Hello, what is it?" he spoke into the telephone.

"Um, sorry to bother you sir, but there is a person here who claims to know you." said the receptionist who called Mustang.

"Yes, and who is this person?" Mustang asked seemingly finding this more interesting than the paperwork he had to fill out.

"She claims herself to be Serenity, sir." Replied the caller. Roy's eyes widened suddenly. Remembering that name, silence could only be heard in the office.

"Um, sir?"

"Send her in." Mustang replied very bluntly.

"Yes sir!"

Within a few minutes Serenity had stepped into the office a small suitcase in hand.

"Hello Colonel Mustang." Said Serenity emphasizing the Colonel part.

"Wow, is that really you Reena?"

"Its Serenity by the way, and yes in the flesh," Serenity answered back, irritated by the old nickname.

"How long has it been since I last saw you, how old are you now 14?" Roy asked again, shoving the paper work aside and focusing on Serenity, a small smile gracing his face.

"15 to be exact sir, and its been exactly six years," Serenity answered again in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Really now? So what brings you over here, what have you been up to?"

"Really now Mustang, its been six years and all you want to do is ask me questions," Serenity sighed, running her hand through her bangs and smiling at Roy Mustang, " I only came to pay a visit to Hughes, he wasn't in Central when I arrived, I got news from miss Gracia that he's here and I heard that you're assigned here as well."

"Ugh, I remember you preferred Hughes to me. So you came just to say hi?" Roy laughed, remembering the years back.

Serenity gave an exasperated sigh feeling for her short bangs one again.

"Nah, I have other business, y'know me studying and research."

"Now that you mention it" Roy chuckled standing up from his seat "You remind me of someone."

"Who?" asked Serenity tiredly.

"The new state alchemist, he's about your age, the Fullmetal, can't tell you his name though against the rules." Roy said a teasing look plastered on his face.

"Whatever Roy, if you see Hughes anytime soon tell him I said hi." Serenity said while walking to the door, "And that you guys don't need to worry about me, I'm doing fine."

"Wait! What you're leaving already? You just got here." Roy exclaimed trying to get Serenity's attention.

"I'll visit you later I have other business to attend to." Serenity said as she was looking for an excuse to leave.

"But wait this is round about the time Hughes comes to my office to torture me." Roy said walking towards Serenity planning to prolong her stay.

"Hughes is coming!" Serenity perked up, color filling her cheeks and her eyes looking more alive.

"Yeah…" Jack-point was probably what Roy was thinking.

"Why didn't you say so from the start! I guess my business will have to wait awhile. After all it has been six years" Serenity exclaimed trying to calm her blush down.

"HEYA ROY!" yelled a fellow officer with black hair and glasses, who had stormed into the room, followed by Jean Havoc, Lt. Hawkeye, and the rest of the crew.

"Hughes good timing, guess whose here?" Roy said, not even attempting to hide his smirk.

"Oh I know I know!" exclaimed Hughes with utmost glee, pulling out photographs from his pocket, "Me and my beautiful pictures of my dear Elysia, and it's the winter edition!"

"No Hughes its-"

"Yo boss who's the kid over here?" questioned Havoc, pointing straight at Serenity.

"Its rude to point, sir." Serenity corrected the man.

"Woah, Sir, I haven't been called that by a kid before." Havoc said, wide eyed at Serenity.

Then all went silent when Hughes had walked up to the young girl, with a serious look on his face, as if he were really concentrating hard. Then astonishment flickered on his face as he realized who he was looking at.

"No way, is that really you, Serena? " All eyes fell on Serenity. Her gaze looking quite cross, her lips pouting a little and a small blush formed on her cheeks as she whispered "How many times have I told you to call me by my name Serenity."

Suddenly Hughes' arms flung around Serenity, embracing her in a tight hug. Hughes' face looking old and worry stricken. Serenity's face buried in his chest.

"Where on Earth have you been Serena" asked Hughes "You made me worry sick."

"Um, this is somewhat embarrassing," Serenity tried to speak in protest to the embrace, although she was secretly enjoying it, "please, its only been six years."

Hughes letting go of Serenity but resting his hands on her shoulders, he looked her in the eye.

"You speak of six years like it was only yesterday." Hughes said with a frown on his face. "Plus you still act like an old woman, aren't you supposed to be 15 now, plus you look like you haven't slept in six years, do you still have trouble sleeping"

"HUGHES!" Serenity exclaimed, "Please not in front of strangers."

"hmph sorry for worrying about a kid I haven't seen in six years who had just suddenly disappeared." Hughes said pouting and lightening the mood in the office.

"Its been a long time hasn't it Serenity?" said Lt. Hawkeye.

"Miss Hawkeye, it's a pleasure to see you again its been a while." Serenity turned to face the familiar sniper, bowing at the woman.

"What you know this kid too Riza?" questioned Breda; Falman, Havoc, and Fuery wondering the same thing.

"Yes, " replied Hawkeye "We met her when the civil war had just ended in Ishval."

"If I recall clearly, Hughes, Lt. Hawkeye, and I were walking around the ruins of what was left of Ishval, and we met a seven year old looking child,wearing a very worn out garb for an Ishvallan child, apparently female, walking around surrounded by dead bodies, holding a lot of ragged texts, also carrying the eyes of a very old and tired person." Intervened Roy, each part of the sentence reminding him of the sights he saw in Ishval but most of all Serenity's sight at the end. She was dressed in a brown cloak, and stood over dead bodies. her body looked worn out, and her eyes was like a window of pain.

"Wow, what were you doing in Ishval Serenity?" asked Havoc.

Serenity feeling a little bit more tense decided to avoid answering that question by coming out blunt by saying "That is none of your business Sir."

"Good luck trying to find out from her Havoc," Roy scoffed sitting on his desk "In all the few years I've known her, she refused to tell me or even Hughes what she was doing there, except for studying."

"What about your parents?" Fuery asked Serenity

"I have none." She replied bluntly again with a shrug, wishing to leave now that she had no more of a reason to stay here if all was happening was people asking her irrelevant questions.

"Do you have a place to stay?" Hughes asked Serenity, he was still looking at her.

"Um actually I have to go, I have somewhere I have to be." Serenity replied almost too quickly.

"What you're going out of town?" exclaimed Hughes.

"Yes, but I went over to Central, when I heard that you lived there. I came by your house and saw Gracia and your daughter Elysia, its good to hear that you and Gracia finally settled down from the last time I saw you two." Rushed Serenity as she was trying her best to change the subject which was currently her.

"You met Elysia!" squealed Hughes. Encouraging a sweat drop from everyone in the room.

"I see that Mustang is still a lonely boy as ever though." Serenity said with a smug look on her face.

"Hey now I can't help it if I refuse to tie the knot." Roy shrugged with indifference, "I'm in no rush."

"Well I'm sorry for the sudden visit and all but I think you guys should get to work, you don't get paid to just sit around all day, plus I really have to go," and with that Serenity had left the room before anyone could protest, walking quickly down the hall.

As she had finally left East Headquarters, she turned around to look up at the building, a soft smile spreading across her face, the wind blowing her long golden hair, and her eyes filled with relief.

"Its good to see you guys again," suddenly said she turned around and continued her walk along a dark road of mystery.

Within a day or Two, Serenity had arrived back in Central City. Yet again it was late at night, and she did not have enough money to buy a room in any local inn because all the inns in Central were quite expensive.

Therefore, she had settled with playing Hobo, and spend the night at a nearby park.

Resting in a bench Serenity opened up her suit case, bringing forth an old looking gray trench coat. She had draped the coat over herself and lounged on the park bench. She then began to close her eyes, hoping for a good night sleep until she felt the presence of another coming towards her.

"Are you the young girl named Serenity?" asked a woman clad in black with a sensuous voice.

With that Serenity peeked an eye open, a bit irritated for not being allowed to sleep, but feeling a bit tense as she had a good idea who the person was.

"Yes, and who's asking?" Serenity replied. "Is it that damned beast who is manipulating you, Lust the ultimate spear?"

"Who else." Lust replied bluntly.

Opening both eyes now, Serenity had risen and was sitting straight on the bench, one leg propped over the other.

"What business do you have with me?" she asked seriousness in her voice.

"Father wants to know if you are here in Central to get in his way to achieving his goal." Lust said, throwing a dirty look towards Serenity.

"Well then tell him that he does not need to worry, I'm simply visiting Central because I felt like it, after all the scenery is supposed to be beautiful here."

"That's good to hear, but I must warn you if you ever decide to interfere don't be mistaken we will end your life." Lust said bitingly

Hearing that, all Serenity could do was snort. "I'd like to see you try" she said, getting back into her position of comfort on the bench. Closing her eyes once again, then immediately opening them, she said "You can go now Lust," with that Lust had walked away rather insulted, leaving the young girl to sleep.

"I hope I can get a quiet sleep tonight," and with that she closed her eyes slowly succumbing to slumber.

Chapter 3- Glanced Meeting

It had been a five days since the Elrics had left East City and now have arrived at Central, in high hopes of finding Doctor Marcoh's research on the Philosopher's stone in the First Branch Central Library, only to find rubble, instead of a prestigious Library.

Edward's mouth had opened wide, ready to start his ranting when he was cut off before he could continue.

"C'mon!" cried out a frustrated female not too far from where the Elrics and their two new body guards were standing.

"What the Hell, this cannot be happening, ugh, now there's no way I could hide it!" cried out the female again.

All eyes had fallen on the girl, long golden hair reaching behind her knees, wearing a white spaghetti strap shirt, a black open button up shirt tied in a knot at the bottom, and brown khakis.

Noticing that she had screamed out at the top of her lungs she looked around her hoping no one had caught sight of the action she had displayed. Then abruptly looking to her side she caught sight of a group of people. Widening her eyes and a heavy blush on her face, she bowed quickly and ran off.

Maria Ross and Denny Brosh gave a sweat drop while Edward and Alphonse stared shocked at the spot the girl was standing at.

"Brother…" said Alphonse.

"Yeah Al, I know, I thought the same thing to." Said Edward

Meanwhile

"Well I guess first branch rules out where I could hide this research, but I can't put it anywhere else, but these papers are far too delicate for me to be carrying around." Sighed out Serenity "I guess that explains what Lust was doing yesterday when she came to warn me."

Serenity had walked into an abandoned alley, stepping behind a dumpster to find a suitcase where her "belongings" were kept.

"I can't risk to lose this, its way too important, I guess its only safe with me since those Homunculi are running amok. I just wish Hohenheim would hurry up, we don't have that much time left, I've just about finished what I needed to do."

Serenity had walked all the way to the abandoned laboratory 5 at military headquarters. She was able to sneak past the guards very stealthily, not wanting to have to explain the reason for her being in a restricted area. Seeing that all obvious entrances had been sealed off she looked up to an old air vent.

"I could give it a shot but I'm not sure I will fit." Luckily for Serenity she had fit in the vent considering that she was quite thin, and was able to wiggle to produce movement. Unfortunately, the more she crawled in, the more the space became tighter, and for the first time in her life Serenity had felt very Claustrophobic.

Giving off a whimper Serenity sighed, "Great, just great I'm stuck in an air vent! Aah! I don't wanna end up like this, what if I get caught, if I could just feel my hand maybe I could perform alchemy!" Serenity thought out loud. However, she was unable to move her hands any further. "Oh, Sod it!" she cried out, then suddenly red electric light had sparked around her and she had fallen right through a hole, landing hard on her tail bone. "Oww!" she cried out, rubbing at the sore area, then she looked up at the hole "Best I cover that up before someone finds out."

Serenity had then walked into a wide open room, a giant transmutation circle on the floor. Serenity had sighed once again, noticing the inscriptions on the floor and wall. She walked towards the transmutation circle squatting down before it. Then giving out a low whistle she said "Impressive circle would make mine look like crap, well time for business." Then she had suddenly stood up and brought her hand to her mouth. She bit hard at the flesh between her thumb and index finger, blood gushing out of the skin and hitting the transmutation circle, then quickly dissolving into the ground, not leaving a blood stain behind.

Serenity then brought the hand to her mouth, licking the blood off, until it no longer bleed, then said "Guess I'm stuck playing wanderer until I find that bastard Hohenheim."

She then began to walk down many halls trying to remember which way she had come from until she heard footsteps. "Crap!" she thought, "I better hide!" Serenity looked around her frantically, she looked up and saw a couple of pipes and thought a brave idea. She would jump up there and use those pipes to hide behind them, since the area was so dimly lit.

"Hey Lust," said a menacing voice, "Did you hear someone in here?"

"That's just you Envy, I heard nothing, anyway we have to stick around here some more, those Elric brats are becoming a bother so they might trespass in here in a few days."

"Hahaha" laughed Envy, "I can't wait to see that bastard's children, I wonder what it would feel like punching his face so hard in ruptures!"

"No Envy, we cannot harm them, Father said not to that they are possible sacrifices, at least the older one is," replied Lust smoothly.

With that much said they had left the area, leaving Serenity to think about what they had said. She then quietly fell back on the ground.

"The Elrics, It couldn't be…I should stay around for a while longer." Serenity had then walked up to a wall and clapped her hands against it, a small hole becoming visible and inside the hole was a suitcase.

"Thank goodness that I can think and act fast." Serenity exhaled, "I would be in a bind if I was found by them." Serenity then grabbed her suit case and walked down the dark hallway.

Chapter Four- Identity Confirmed

Several days had passed, and the Elrics had long forgotten about their encounter, because of a bigger discovery that was found. They had discovered the recipe of creating a philosopher's stone. Human lives. They had also discovered that Lab 5 has something to deal with the creation of the stones, but they weren't completely sure. So they had decided to sneak into the Laboratory to confirm their suspicions.

Meanwhile in Lab 5, Serenity was taking a nap in a dark corner where it would be hard to be spotted, even for the Homunculi. A loud growl was heard and Serenity had quickly risen from her sleep, clutching her stomach, and moaning, slowly standing up.

"I'm so hungry; I should have thought things through when I said I'm sticking around for awhile." Then Serenity suddenly heard some shouting and ran directly to the source, of course not forgetting her suitcase.

She had run all the way into the room were the large transmutation circle was, upon finding a young blond boy, covered in some painful wounds, unconscious, but most of all Lust and Envy in front of the boy, and a destroyed suit of armor.

"What the hell happened here?" whispered Serenity as she stared at the scene before her.

Envy hearing the whisper turned around to face Serenity, followed by Lust who was wondering what made Envy turn around. Astonishment flickering across their faces.

"Serenity, what brings you here?" asked Lust.

"What this is the infamous bitch!" said Envy, making it less than a question but more like realization.

Serenity walked over to the boy, and slung him over her shoulder. "I'm here over my own whim, I was curious as to why the first branch library had been burnt down the night I had talked with you Lust, is this boy a sacrifice?" Serenity asked, trying to play it cool with the Homunculi.

Lust sighed and looked at Serenity tiredly, then spoke "Father will not be pleased, and yes the boy is a sacrifice."

"Well you don't want the boy to get badly hurt, so I'll take him away and you two go do your business." Serenity said as she started to walk away.

"Yo, you hag!" yelled Envy not wanting her to leave without him saying anything, "just don't get in our way, and we won't have to kill you! After all you're a special candidate too."

Picking up her suitcase with her free hand, she turned around, giving them both a glare that could scare any normal person enough to piss themselves, she said "Shut up I know that already," then she ran out into the halls knowing full well that the building was getting ready to collapse.

Outside

Alphonse looked at the crumbling building terrified for his brother, yelling out that he had to go back to get him but being held back by 2nd Lt. Maria Ross, until they saw a figure stepping out of the shadows.

"Hello, I came to drop of a package." Serenity said, feeling really pissed about what Envy had called her.

'Hag huh? That's a first,' was what she thought to herself as she laid the Edward next to the woman, not really paying attention to the suit of armor that was staring intensely at her.

"These wounds aren't life threatening but he should be taken to a hospital." Serenity answered bluntly, easing her shoulder.

Maria Ross then removing her gaze from the girl and to Edward she noticed to that he was badly hurt.

"Sergeant give me a hand!" Maria yelled out, with that Sergeant Brosh came running to the scene lifting Edward to his back.

Serenity feeling guilty decided to tag along; she felt that if she had just woken up sooner the boy would not have received as much damage as now.

Noticing that the building was collapsing even more they began to run quickly, leaving the disaster.

Next day

Edward woke up feeling some pain in his head. Slowly opening his eyes he raised his hand to his forehead feeling something wrapped on it, then realizing he was in a hospital room and quite upset with that fact.

"That's strange; the last thing I remember was hearing a girl's voice." Edward whispered.

Then the door opened and in came 2nd Lt. Ross and Sergeant Brosh, who was holding onto Serenity's arm, dragging her into the room.

"You've woken up" said Ross with a smile.

"This is a hospital of an acquaintance of 2nd Lt. Ross. We thought it would be a good idea if we didn't placed you in a military hospital, we would end up being questioned a bit. Plus you can recover in peace and quiet over here." Said Brosh

"Crap, it hurts." Edward said groggily as he scrunched over his stomach. "And I was so close to finding out the truth. There isn't time for me to be hospitalized."

Maria Ross and Denny Brosh quickly glanced at each other, signaling something then speaking out very loudly, "Fullmetal Alchemist Sir! Please forgive us for what we will do next!"

"Huh?" said Edward. Then suddenly a loud whap-like sound went across the room, startling Serenity awake, who was catching sleep in the corner of the room on the floor.

"Major Armstrong told you so many times not to act on your own, but then you two went and did it anyway!" yelled Maria. "Even when he told you to stay at the inn, because it was dangerous, and on top of ignoring the Major's kindness you almost died!"

Serenity feeling confused as to why she was dragged into this and also confused that by "you two" Maria meant was talking about the boy and herself. "First recognize the fact that you're still children!" continued Maria, which further continued to confuse Serenity, "Secondly, don't go trying to do everything by yourselves. Please trust the people around you." Maria's voice beginning to calm down, her face turning a little worry stricken "…can't you put a little more faith in us adults?"

The room becoming very quiet for a while and Serenity becoming increasingly confused and nervous, resulting an awkward cough from her. 'Amazing' she thought sarcastically, ' I'm in the middle of a soap opera.'

"That is all" both Maria and Ross said. "Please forgive us for our actions and words unfitting that of lower rank officers." Maria Ross said , instantly going back into formality.

"No, I am the one…who is at fault." Edward stuttered kind of dumbstruck. Both officers feeling relief to Edward's words and explaining why the felt that way, Serenity couldn't help but make her presence known.

"Um Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt but can I leave now?" Serenity spoke, raising her hand as if she were in a classroom and hat was the only way to get a reaction from the teacher.

That being said all eyes turned towards her, all having something in common a hint of high suspicion, which Serenity hoped in all her heart wouldn't get her into trouble with the military.

"Who are you and what were you doing in a restricted area?" Ross asked accusingly.

"She was at Lab 5!" exclaimed Edward.

"Hey now, let's all calm down now, if I weren't there things could have gotten pretty bad for Fullmetal over there, who wasn't even supposed to be at that area in the first place." Serenity spoke in her defense, who was yet again trying to change the subject which as usual her.

"Don't try to change the subject you suck at that Ree."

Then suddenly Serenity looked at Edward's face for the first time. A curious look on hers. "Ree? Why'd you call me that."

Edward realizing what he had said blushed a little, shaking his hands in the air. "Oh sorry, Its just that you look like someone I know who I haven't seen in a while."

Serenity's eyes widening a little bit feeling familiarity with the boy she raised an eyebrow, looking at the boy up and down and said "Edward Elric is that really you, you haven't grown that much since I last saw you."

Okay! That's four chapters of my first Fan Fic!

Please tell me what you think, and yes i know Serenity is kind of like a cliche-ish and very Sue-ish kind of name! but there is a reason her name is like that and no it isn't because i used to love Sailor moon as a kid Lol! I only have one thing to say about this Fanfic...DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS OVER! LITERALLY! YOU'LL BE SURPRISED! And I'm talking from past experience here.

I'd like to have maybe one or two reviews before i continue with the story. I need to at least know that I'm doing this thing right, won't blame you though, my grammar sucks big time. I'll try using big words later when Serenity and Edward gets in fights. I was hoping to make this an AlxOC pairing cuz its kinda obvious Winry is meant for Ed. I know all u major Ed fans agree. Heck I'm not much of an EdxWinry pairing fan but you can't deny it when love is in the air! Plus i find it extremely hard to make my character fall in love with Ed and also i don't like AlxMei pairings, it makes my skin itch.

Ooooo! Serenity did it she called Edward Short! I wonder what kind of rant i'll come up with. If you would like to give me any ideas that would help a bunch.

Soz for the cliffy people but i need you to want to read this!

But trust me i'll update before you know it!

Thanks for reading! Sugar-induced-Duck signing out!
