Alphonse Elric was currently sitting in the library of a rather large castle. The castle itself belonged to Professor Eiselstein, a friend of his teacher. The professor had been kind enough to let Him and his brother, Ed, stay here a few weeks, while Ed did some work for the military.

Al was absorbed in a really good book, sitting in a large, violet, extremely comfortable chair. The book he was reading was called "Siam Sid," by Jack Crowley. He was so completely into the book he was reading that he didn't notice as one of the shoadows began to creep ever so closer to him, moving only an inch every few minutes.

He snuggled under the cover more, still quite intent on the book. He didn't even glance up as another shadow began following the first, and a third after that.

However, he did notice when he heard a giggle in the otherwise silent room. It actually caused him to look up from his book and glance around, just to be sure there was no one watching him. He shook his head and returned to the book.

The shadows crept toward him again as he turned another page. At least ten minutes went by like this. Al turning page, the shadows moving closer right after he did so. Al managed to finish his book, completely unaware.

It was as he was standing up that he heard another giggle echo around the room. Causing him to turn around slowly, before going to put his book up.

As he was putting the book into it's appropriate place he felt a sharp pain in his side. He swung around and felt himself being kissed by someone. That someone didn't seem to get the law of gravity and the two of them were on the ground.

"See, I told you she would do it." The voice had come from the bookshelf that Al realized was missing a few books and two girls were peeking out at him. He glanced down at the third girl.

"Armony, What are you doing?" Al demanded jumping up.

"Well, they dared me to," Armony said. Jabbing a finger at the girls, "And was it really that bad?"

Al gaped, he didn't know what to say. He'd just kissed(been kissed by) the professor's daughter, and he knew the professor was very protective of his daughter
