I swam off, away from my friend, not wanting to try and make friends right now. We had just attempted to try and be human again. All of her theories were fake and she had decided to get away from me by meeting her boyfriend in Atlantis. I sighed and swam over to the bank. I rested my hand on there and put my head in my hands. I heard a noise, so I looked up. There was a boy around my age sitting at the top of the hill.

The boy had long golden hair, put back into a chunky braid. He also had golden eyes and was wearing a long red cloak.

All of a sudden the boy slipped and began to fall down the hill. I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting to see the result of the boys fall. When I heard nothing, I opened my eyes to see that the boy had used alchemy to break his fall.

When the boy was back firmly on the ground he saw me. I made a squeeky noise and hid under the water.

"Hello?!" The boy called, sticking his hand into the water. "Strange Girl?"

I shot up into the air like a bullet.

"DON'T CALL ME STRANGE JUST BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT TITCH!"

"WHO DID YOU CALL SO TITCHY THEY COULD BE EATEN BY A CLOWNFISH!"

"SHUT UP I DIDN'T SAY THAT!"

"YOU SHUT UP!"

"YOU!"

"YOU!"

I sighed. "Okay we're quits."

"Fine by me," the boy replied.

"Was that alchemy I saw you do earlier?"

"Yes!" The boy jumped into the air and started flexing his muscles. "I am Edward Elric! The Fullmetal Alchemist!"

"Interesting," I said as I rubbed my chin. "I can do a little alchemy too."

"Really?" Said Edward. "Lets see then." I drew a transmutation circle in the mud. Then I clapped my hand together a put them next to the circle. The mud rose up from the ground and turned into a horse figurine. Then I did the same again and the mud returned to normal. "Impressive," he said. "Anyways what are you doing in the water this time of night?" He outstretched his hand to me. "You'll get chills." I rejected his hand and backed away. "Huh, whats wrong?" Edward sounded confused. I leant against the bank and showed him my tail. "No way!" He exclaimed, "A chimera!" I looked at him funny.

"We prefer to be called mermaids," I said to him. Suddenly I heard a voice calling out "Brother! Brother!"

"Its Al, my little brother, I have to go now." He got up and began to run off when he stopped and turned around. "What was your name?"

"Marine." I smiled at him.

"Bye Marine!"

I woke up. What happened last night? Oh yes I met this strange boy called Edward. Didn't he say he was the fullmetal alchemist? Oh well chances are I'll never see him again. I swam over to Yuuki and shook her. "Yuuki, Yuuki, wake up!" Yuuki woke up and stretched.

"Tell me where you were last night," she mumbled.

"Oh give it up Yuuki." Ever since she got back late last night Yuuki had been on her case to found out where she was. Then Yuuki started ranting on about her boyfriend Kyle. "Its ridiculous," I said to her, "Falling in live with human. Theres no point seeing as you won't be able to become one." Yuuki gave me a 'don't-you-dare' look with the meaning of 'go-away-get-out-of-my-sight'. So I decided to leave. I absent mindedly swam over to the bank. Edward was there. "Hey," I said cheerily. His face brightened up.

"Oh hey!" Me and Edward started talking to eachother and he told me that most people just call him Ed. We talked all day until it was evening. Then he turned to me and said, "Listen, Marine..."

"We're never going to see eachother again," I said for him. He nodded and walked away. I rested my head on the bank and fell asleep.
