Prologue
"Alright, fine." Ed huffed, "What are the details of the mission?" Mustang smiled, happy to get his way, "You'll be traveling with Ling Yao and Mei Chang to an island called Japan and attending a school for the rich and privileged known as Ouran Academy…"
"Aw man! Why did we agree to this?" whined Ed from his position on the top most left bunk in the small room. "Because, little brother, we were asked to." I answered from my bunk across from him, not even glancing up from my book. He threw his pillow at me. I snagged it out of the air without looking and placed it on top of my own to cushion my back as I continued to read. Ling snickered from his spot in the hammock, "As weird as it is that you look exactly like Ed, the way you two interact is hilarious. Are you sure you didn't grow up together?" "Yep," I popped the 'p' and turned a page, "the interactions we have are only happening because the psychiatrist that Mustang hired said we should go with our knee jerk reactions until we've known each other for at least a year. It's supposed to be a trust building exercise or something, I wasn't actually listening."
"Miss Irma, Miss Irma!" An excited Mei called out, grabbing my arm and letting little Shou May crawl up my shoulder. "What's up Lil' Bit?" I asked, petting Shou May. "I'm so glad you could come, and I'm not little!" I smiled at her, "Someone needs to keep Ed out of trouble and Al has his own studies to worry about. Oh, and Mei, you're little to me." She huffed at me. I continued, "But that just makes you my sweet little sister. Try not to scare Al too bad with your flirting though, he's still innocent," I whispered. Mei's whole face turned red at the mention of her crush. Ling laughed from beside me, arms slung behind his head. Al who was walking on my other side, suddenly piped up in confusion, "Hey, where's Lan Fan?" "Stalking us from the vents," I stated bluntly, "I think she's trying to avoid the embarrassment of girl talk." There was a choking sound from above. "Told you!" I sang out as Lan Fan dropped down to defend her honor. I laughed, dodging all of her attempts to hit me, "Calm down, will you? We're almost there. You don't want to end up scrambling, do you?"
Three minutes and seventeen fights later, we arrived at port. "Ed, hurry up! Our ride's going to be here any minute!" I yelled from the docks. "I'm coming, hold up!" he yelled back, running down the ramp to join the group. I typical fashion, he tripped halfway down and face planted at our feet. I snorted, "Wow Shorty, way to be graceful." "WHO ARE YOU CALLING-" I interupted, by way of covering his mouth, before he could get any farther into his rant, "Cool story, I see our ride." True to my word, there was a small group of boys standing by a car; two gingers, two ravens, two blondes, and a burnett. The taller of the blondes was waving like a mad man. "Alright," I took a deep breath and took point, "let's go."
(Chapter End)
This was the Prologue of Never Forget. Yay. You have no idea how hard this was for me to write, hopefully Chapter 1 will be a bit easier.
