Chapter One: "You're a girl?!"

Hi everyone, it's me again. I love FMA it is one of my favorite mangas ever! I plan to marry Ed, I am already planning the wedding, I want Disney Princess theme but I know Ed would probably want Auto Mail theme. Of course it'll be a government wedding. I have everything set, now just to find a state or country that'll let me marry an anime character. Hmmm?

Anyway, I do not own FMA, I wish I did but instead I own a t-shirt, a hat, a sweat band, a key chain, a cell charm (made it myself) and a DVD, if that is not reason enough to own FMA than I shall now commit Supoku, Japanese suicide.

Tune in next time to see if I live.

Ed, Noah, and Al were wandering around in the new town when they heard the hubbub in the back alley behind the pub.

"Big brother, what could that noise be?" Al asked Ed.

"Yeah Ed, it sounds like it's coming from the alley." Noah said pointing towards the alley.

Ed listened closely. It sounded like there was a fight going on or someone was getting mugged. Ed gritted his teeth. "You two stay here. I'll go check it out." And Ed ran towards the alley.

Sure enough someone was getting mugged. It was two against one. "Hey, just what the hell do you think you two are doing?" Ed yelled.

The two men who were mugging the other guy looked up. One of them had the guy by the collar of his shut. "Who the hell are you?" one of the men asked.

The kid being held by his collar took his chance while the two muggers were looking away. He clapped his hands together and thrust them on the ground, suddenly a small canister of pepper spray transmuted from the ground. He quickly grabbed the can and sprayed it in each of the muggers' faces.

"Alchemy," Ed whispered. "Without a circle,"

Ed taking action now quickly gave both men a swift kick hi the face. They fell over unconscious. Ed slowly walked over to the kid extending his hand. "Are you ok?" He asked.

The kid looked up at Ed, he wasn't beat up too bad, just a cut lip and a cut eyebrow. And his shirt was ripped a little at the shoulder. "Thanks," The kid said. "And yeah, I'm fine." She stood up.

"What the- You're a girl!?" Ed cried.

The girl looked at Ed. "What else would I be?" she asked wiping blood from her lip and brow. She tore off a piece of her shirt and threw it on the ground. She then clapped her hands together again and hit the ground with both hands. The piece of ripped shirt turned into a handkerchief.

Ed looked at the girl dumbfounded. "And how can you do alchemy? Answer me that?!" he cried.

The girl held the handkerchief to her lip. "I just can. It's not that hard to learn, just pick up a book and read it if you want to learn alchemy." She said.

"Grrrrr," Ed growled. He grabbed the girl's hand and dragged the girl out of the alley to where Al and Noah were standing. "Al! Noah, come here and take a look at this girl!"

"Big brother," Al cried. "What are you doing? Let her go!"

"Yeah, Ed, have you totally lost it? Let her go right now." Noah said stomping over to Ed.

"Al! This girl here can do alchemy without a circle." Ed said.

"What!" Ed cried. "Is that true?" he asked the girl.

"Honestly." Noah said. She bopped both Al and Ed on the head. "You guys can be so dense." Noah walked over to the girl and smiled. The girl had brown hair as short as Al's and she wore men's clothes. It was no wonder Ed thought she was a boy until she stood up. "I'm Noah. Those idiots are Edward and Alphonse Elric."

"Serenity," the girl said. "Nice to meet you," She turned to Ed and said "Thank you for helping me with those muggers." Serenity bowed.

"Oh, it was nothing." Ed said surprised.

Noah looked at Serenity and couldn't believe she wore those clothes. "Do you always wear men's clothes?" she asked.

"Yes." Serenity replied. "When you live on the streets it's warmer to wear men's clothes than a dress."

Noah looked at a hotel that was just across the street from the alley. "Ed, we're staying there to night and Serenity is staying with us." Noah stated and she grabbed Serenity's hand and dragged her to the hotel.

"We are?" Al asked.

Ed shrugged his shoulders. "I guess we are now."

Ed and Al followed Noah as she dragged Serenity into the hotel lobby. "One room, two beds please." Noah said.

The desk clerk looked at the hotel log. "We have one room left. You four are lucky to get it." He said and told them how much it would be.

"Pay the man." Noah said and took the room key.

Grumbling Ed took out his wallet and handed the clerk the money. The clerk smiled and rang the bell for a bellhop to come and carry their bags to the room.

Once in the room Noah took Serenity to the bathroom where they stayed for a half hour? "What could they be doing?" Al asked.

"I don't know, but if they don't hurry up we're going to leave without them to go get some dinner." Ed replied looking at his pocket watch.

Suddenly the bathroom door swung open and Noah presented Serenity. "I did my best." Noah said. "But there really isn't much you can do with short hair."

Ed and Al looked at Serenity, Noah had given her a shower, cut her hair a little bit more, and forced her into a light blue dress.

Serenity blushed. "I know I look awful." She said softly.

"No, you don't look anything of the sort!" Al cried. "In fact you look beautiful. Tell her big brother."

Noah tapped her lip. "I think I'll go with Al, I don't want to show up to dinner with a date that's shorter than me." Noah teased and she took Al's arm.

Serenity smiled and walked over to Ed and hooked arms with him. "That's okay Ed, you're taller than me." She whispered.

Ed smirked, finally; someone who didn't tease Ed about his height. And with that they left the hotel and went to dinner.
