What A Surprise
Chapter 1: State Alchemist?
"Aah! What a beautiful day today!" yawned Yasa.
Yasa got out of her bed and looked out the window to gaze at Central as she usually did. She had a room on the second floor with her own bathroom. So she opened the curtains to her window and let the light flood the entire room. Yasa skipped over to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for her job at her family's restaurant. She decided to wear her favorite yellow shirt and her blue pleated skirt.
"Hm. I think I'm feeling green today," she said.
She then grabbed two leaves from the flowers on her dresser and placed it on her head. Yasa drew half of a transmutation circle on her forehead to her hair then pressed her hands on it. With a flash of light, her hair turned a shade of jade green.
Afterwards, she ran downstairs to set everything for the day then she opened the store. As an 11 year-old girl, no customer gave her any trouble. They expected it. Though everytime something broke or needed fixing, she used her alchemy to renew them. In the restaurant, she's usually the entertainment by transmuting a foot stool into a bookshelf, the air into water or fire, a picture frame into a window, a mug into a sword, and so on. Yasa was a little skilled in just about every field of alchemy.
"Welcome to the Kanto's fine dining restaurant, where you always get the last laugh!" exclaimed Yasa as she greeted the customers.
"You know Sushi, you don't have to do that everytime," laughed Mr. Kanno.
"Yeah dad's right! We always come just to see you!" said his 5 year-old daughter, Julia.
Another customer walked in and said, "So it's green pigtails today, huh?"
"Yep! My favorite color!" Yasa said.
"Yeah, if you have no originality," jeered a green-haired boy.
"What a lame joke, Taka-Baka."
"Stop calling me that, it's Takeshi!"
Takeshi was the same age as Yasa and was always rivaling her in almost everything, especially alchemy.
"Okay that's enough you two. Jeez, rivalries these days," said Mrs. Kanto.
"But he started it!" whined Yasa.
"You best behave yourself too, Takeshi" said Mr. Kanno.
"But dad," whined Takeshi also.
The beautiful sky turned gray and it started to rain heavily in the afternoon, but the day carried out as any normal day in Central's best restaurant. Yasa took customers' orders as her mom cooked the food. Her dad kept the place tidy and clean. Yasa had some help from her twin older brothers too. After everyone got settled in, it was time for Yasa to take on the challenges of the customers.
"Yeah yeah you're definitely good, but can you transmute this pipe into shoe?" said a guy with blonde somewhat spiky hair.
"You're making this all too easy!" laughed Yasa.
And in a second, the metal pipe was turned into a pair of metal shoes. It even came with laces that were flexible and not a trace of being stiff. Everyone clapped at her accomplishments and then got to their meals.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, an unfamiliar customer walked in. Yasa walked to him, closed her eyes, and said her lines delightfully. Though when she opened them she was taken aback. He was simply handsome. His smile was so kind yet it seemed as if he came here other than to eat or drink. He wore a military uniform and presented himself as if he were the king. His dark eyes were shining as he spoke in his smooth voice.
"Good afternoon, may I speak to your mother, Sushi?"
What? Thought Yasa, no one else knows that except everyone in this restaurant.
Even though she was creeped out, she led him to her mother at the back of the kitchen where he wanted to talk privately to her.
"Yo Sushi, who was that?" asked her brother, Cole.
"Some guy from the military," said Yasa.
"That was pretty obvious. We mean his name." said her other brother, Zac.
"How would I know? I don't get in people's business, much," Yasa said the last word quietly.
"Hey get back to your stations!" shouted their father to the huddled group.
"Righto!" they said automatically.
Fifteen minutes pasted ever since the stranger walked in to see Yasa's mother. Yasa, Zac, and Cole were starting to get suspicious until they heard someone shout behind the counter of the kitchen. Yasa ran to the back where her mother would be when she spotted her with the military man. She looked more angry and shocked than the time when Yasa accidentally transmuted Zac and Cole's bed into toothpicks of every color. No one seemed to be hurt though.
"What did you do, loser?" said Yasa fiercely.
"Whoa I wasn't expecting all of this now," said the mysterious man, smiling.
"Answer me or do I have to beat it outta you!"
"No need for violence," the man started, "I am Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang, and I would like to help you become a State Alchemist, Yasa."
