Hello,

This is my first fic, so it might not be good.I am role playing for Sarai, so please don't mind okay?Also, what "(((Space)))" means is I am switching between Ed, Al, orSarai's point of view.

disclaimer: I don't own fullmetal alchemist. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this fanfic.

Okay, the summary is that there is a girl named Sarai is running (she is poor and doesn't know how to perform alchemy) and runs into Ed (more like Ed sees her). There is a guy chasing her with a gun. Then the guy is knocked out by Ed. The question is will Ed teach Sarai alchemy?And if so, will Sarai trust Ed?

Ch. 1 Uexpected Encounter

I was happy. I was on the beach with my mom and dad. "Sarai, come here,"My dad said "are you ready for a surprise?" I said "yes! Oh, yes daddy!" I was very curious and excited. "Here it is!" He said and I gasped "Thank you so much!" I said. My mom smiled. "Is it what you wanted?" My mom asked. "Yes!" and inside a little box was a puppy. My parents smiled. I always wanted a puppy.

But then I went in the water and turned around to see my parents gone along with the puppy. "Mom? Dad?" I asked nervously. "Where did you go?" Then a guy came out of nowhere and said "Your mommy and daddy ain't coming back, so get used to the silence.

Then I started to cry. "Aww, be quiet!" and then I stared at him afraid. I said "I don't have any money." and the man said "Well that's too bad isn't it?" He then brought out a small gun and pointed it at me. "Okay your coming with me." he said.

"Noo!" I screamed and woke up on the side of the building and started to rain. I was panting and had a cold sweat. Why did they leave, who was that person? I thought. Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye and stood up. It was the same gun from my dreams. Then the person came out of the shadows and saw it was the same person from my dream as well. "Well now, we got grown up haven't we? Looks like we're sixteen and you've been running from me since eight."

I stared at him then the gun. The man noticed and said " Your in rags and your anxious because of this little thing?" I just might be able to dodge it when he starts to pull the trigger. I thought. The man suddenly said "I'll end your misery, now!" I ran and dodged the fire. "Shoot!" he said and started to chase after me.

(((Space)))

"Well looks like we need to find more leads on the philosopher stone, right Al?" asked Ed " Yes, brother." said Al "Mustang is going to be the death of me." Ed said "Well, I got us a room at an inn," said Al "that's some good news." said Ed.

"Well I don't feel like going back to Central just to get yelled at," said Ed. "Brother, you can get into trouble by the colonel if you don't go back!" said Al."I know, I'm just tired of getting yelled at all the time." said Ed."I know, why don't you ask him for a different mission?" said Al. Ed thought about it for a minute and said "He would never let me."

Ed then saw a girl in rags run across the street with a guy with a gun chasing her. "Al, you stay here, I'll be back in a little while." said Ed. "But---" Al sighed "okay brother." Ed ran toward the ally that the girl and the man went through.

(((Space)))

I was getting tired. Shoot! I thought. the man was gaining on me. The man fired his gun. It took me by complete surprise andthe bullet hit me in the arm.

"Aaaagh!" I cried while the man advanced on me in complete triumph. I fell and clutched my arm where it was hit.

" See what happens when you run?" said the man. He then shot me four more times in the same arm. And I, for the first time in eleven years screamed. Then out of the blue a blonde haired boy with a braid tackled the man just as everything went black.

(((Space)))

After Ed tackled him he saw the girl on the ground. wondering what to do he knew what had to be taking care of first. The guy got up and saw who had tackled him. "T-T-The fullmetal!" the man said and ran. Ed turned his attention back to the girl. She looked badly hurt. He picked her up and brought her to the hospital down the street.

After that Ed went back to Al. "So, brother, what happened?" asked Al. "Well for one thing I gotta find the guy who had the gun," Ed began, "and then I gottta go bring the guy to the colonel so he won't think I was slacking off." Then Al asked, "and what about the girl?" Ed said "that's another thing the colonel won't be happy about. You see I kinda put the hospital to call his line." Al said "Brother, he is going to be very mad at you." Ed thought yeah, if only he would let some things slip. He and Al then started off to Central.

"Youcaught the guy,right?" asked Mustang over the phone. "Yup!" said Ed tossing the guy to the ground. "Good. Now, you were saying you told the hospital to call my line if there was any progress in her recovery?" asked Mustang "Yup!" said Ed with papers from the hospital in his hand. "Did you get the girl's name?" asked Mustang. Ed froze. "Hold on colonel," said Ed looking through the papers.

Luckily he found it in the papers. "Her name is Sarai." said Ed with satisfaction. " Okay," said Mustang, writing on paper. "What's her age?" asked Mustang. Ed looked through the papers and said "The doctors said sixteen." said Ed. "Okay," said Mustang writing on paper. "Last question," said Mustang, "does she have any relatives?" Ed looked through the papers and said "Nope, no relatives or parents." "Got it." said Mustang. Ed said " I'll bring the guy to Central okay?" "Alright Edward." said Mustang, and they both hung up.

I didn't know where I was. I last remembered a boy tackling the guy who shot me. I lifted my arm and a sharp pain went through my body. I dropped back on the bed. Then I saw the boy who saved me outside the window. I knew where I was now. I was in the hospital.

The nurse walked in with the boy and the nurse said "Oh, my! She is awake!" She then walked out of the room so that me and the boy could talk. "So, the guy shot you in your right arm?" asked the boy. I nodded. "Who are you?" I asked. The boy said "I am Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist." I said "Well, nice to meet you Ed." as I held out my left hand. Ed shook it.

"So your the famous state alchemist." I said in astonishment. "Can you show me some of your alchemy?" I asked. Ed said "sure." He then clapped his hands and transmuted a tray into a silver necklace. "For you,

Sarai." Ed said and gave it to me.And for once in eleven years I smiled.

Okay, to me it was kinda corney, but I got most of the spelling right.

It is late and I must hit the hay before it lights on fire. Please Review!
