Today was a trial for new state alchemists in Amestris, a little girl, who looked no older than 14, was glancing around nervously around the room. Her name was Lilo Pelekai, and she was signing up to be a state alchemist. Her black hair was dangling hanging to her waist, neatly brushed, her brown eyes looked at all her surroundings, from the Amestris flag, to the grand door that stood in front of her. She was wearing a long red muumuu that reached her ankles and bright blue sandals that stood out from the rest of the people who were wearing normal shoes. She stood at a height at 5'3, but tried to make herself seem a bit taller compared to the rest of the people.
"Lilo Pelekai?" A head popped up from behind the door, he wore the standard military uniform, his face had a very scruffy beard, and he wore glasses. His hair looked to be slick back, but spiked around the end of his head. His green eyes watched Lilo curiously, as If to see what she would do, but that ended in a second as he gave a bright cherry smile.
"Ah! Aren't you pretty? I hope my daughter, Elicia can be as pretty as you, but gambling, I bet she would"
The man gave a smile, to which Lilo raised an eyebrow, but smiled anyway to polite.
Lilo followed the man, now known to be Maes Hughes, because he kept talking, down a long corridor, along the walls there more flags, but also some pictures. Some displaying people who passed the exam, holding up their silver pocket watch happily, grinning a smile that looked way too big. While Lilo kept looking at these pictures, she noticed one of a young boy with golden hair and golden eyes, he held the pocket watch happily, giving a huge grin, next to him was a large suit of armor, with glowing red eyes.
Creepy, but Lilo didn't shudder, she actually smiled.
Its been 4 years since she actually had something creepy or scary to investigate, lost in her thoughts, she didn't realized the were at the state alchemist audition until Maes tapped her shoulder. She bushed lightly in embarrassment, but turned her gaze to the führer, who was waiting patiently at a desk, sipping tea and smiling. She smiled back, then walked over to the desk.
"Show me what you can do." Führer Bradley said, giving a smile and setting down his tea. Lilo nodded determinately, she took a deep breath before she started. She clapped her hands, and stepped her feet in front of her, her left one, she repeated this motion a few times, and each time something came from the ground.
First it was a little statue of a koala(stitch) but with four arms, next was a giant spike, she jumped and landed on the spike with perfect balance. she slide off the spike, her left foot pressing down hard, causing the spike to sink, she tapped the floor twice and moved her hips to the left slightly, making a metal pole appear, she quickly grabbed it, then moved her right hand to the top of the pole, causing it to shrink, and change into a thick metal ring. She gave a smile, throwing the ring at the Führer.
He caught it with ease. "Quite impressive." Bradley gave a smiled at the girl, who bowed in respect. "Tell me Lilo, why do you want to be a state alchemist?" Bradley placed the ring down, and leaned in closer, his head resting on both his hands.
"'State alchemist be thou for the people', that's the motto, I've always helped people when I was younger, helping homeless and finding them jobs and such, but I decided I want to give more. So I decided that I wanted to be an alchemist." 'not a lie' Lilo thought, giving a smile 'I helped experiments, and they were technically homeless, and I did find them jobs.'
"I will inform you if you had passed or not in the next three days, be ready" He waved a dismissive hand at Lilo, who then was ushered by Maes out the door.
'what type of alchemy is that?' Bradley thought to himself, 'she could make a good sacrifice, I might need to tell father.'
Lilo headed back home, a smile on her face, and not a single doubt in her mind, she knew she was gonna become a state alchemist, and perhaps by becoming a state alchemist, she could return to her world, with Nanni, Jumba, and Pleakley. Stitch would be happy too, he could see all his cousins again, and perhaps even more cousins.
She soon arrived back home, It was a fairly small apartment, at the edge of artemis, with one bedroom, she and stitch shared, but it was usually cluttered with some weird dishes stitch tries to cook.
She didn't mind though, Stitch is her ohana, and she will never leave her ohana.
Walking into her apartment, she was hit with a bunch of smells, one being smoke.
"Stitch!" She called, waving her hands around, trying to clear the smoke.
"Ih?" A voice called, but she knew it was stitch.
"What happened?" She walked over to the kitchen, where it was a mess. flour was spread all around the floor, a few cracked eggs littered the counter, and spoons were thrown across the room. "How?" she asked in amazement of the mess. just then, a piece of... something fell off the roof, causing her to look up, at a giant black smudge.
"Whoa. Awesome, gross, but awesome" Lilo commented, bending down to pick up the black thing.
"Stitch know," Stitch walked over to Lilo, a plate in hand, filled with cookies.(A/N: He baked a cake at the end of the first movie, im pretty sure he can bake cookies)
Lilo grabbed one and munched into it "Your a great cook stitch, but you keep making a big mess" she pointed up to the ceiling. "But maybe we can go all out with your cookies! And sell them, like how we did back home!" She got an excited twinkle in her eyes.
"Oooo!" Stitch said, then nodded his head, repeating "Uh huh"
"This is gonna be hard to clean though" Lilo muttered, examining the black thing in her hand "what is this?" She asked aloud, showing the thing to stitch
"Don't know" He replied, with a simple shrug of his shoulders
"How do you not know..." she muttered.
Why the hell Not?
