Author's Note:

Hi everyone! This is Mrs. Aria Prime speaking! I hope you enjoy my fanfic just as much as I enjoy making it! Fullmetal Alchemist is one of my favorite Anime's so I hope this story is as good for it. Yes, my OC is in this and yes she's sort of mary-sue-ish but only in the sense that I use her in almost every fanfic I make since I make fanfics to get the scenarios in my head into a story. But I promise you she's not annoying or "omg I'm the damsel in distress! Come save me since I'm so weak!" No. That's not gonna fly. My OC(s) are sometimes in situations like that where they need the man to come save them. But that will be rarely. But there will be occasions where they are in something like that and they are saved but they know how to fight or do whatever along with the other(s). And yes I am aware I am using the cliché of doing pairings with OC's but please put up with it. I spend most of my time thinking up scenarios and stories in my head and I love to write about them. Also because I get crushes on certain characters and thus my stories and OC are born. Anyways, I'll just start throwing some things out:

I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist.

Aria, Fumiko, Ian, and any other incidental OC's are purely my creation.

I insert my character into these stories and actually make them fit along with the actual story, I'm not going to re-write the whole series and story so you get the drift. Just assume she's there. I usually write about how they meet and stuff.

I do drabble sometimes so bear with me.

Those random quotes in italics are spacers. Which means I'm using them as ways to move the scene to another moment, place, and mostly flashbacks; and a way to get the feeling of the moment. They are usually thoughts I use as Edward's or Aria's so also assume that is coming out of their mind.

Yes, I did get some of these quotes from stories, manga, lyrics, etc. So I apologize if that offends anyone but I do edit and add more things to them. It's not plagiarism I promise you. I let you know that by putting them in Italics. Also to let you know that they are thoughts.

Please, please, please, no flames or bad comments. If you want, comment it or suggest something.

Well thank you for reading this intro and I hope you like my fanfic!! :D

"Brother…brother, wake up."

"Hmmm….?"

"Time to wake up. Were almost there."

Edward slowly opened his eyes as they glazed over with sleep. The light from outside the train window made him wince slightly as he adjusted to it. He sat up in his seat and stretched out his arms. He looked to his brother who sat across from him; a giant suit of armor staring back at him.

"Were already there?" Edward asked as drowsiness drifted from his voice.

Alphonse replied, "Not quite yet but were close enough."

"Ugh, I didn't even get enough sleep." Edward stood up from his seat and stretched out his back; it was sore from sleeping on the trains seat which was not the most comfortable of napping places. He stretched out his regular and automail limbs. He straightened out his long red coat and his gold hair that was braided back.

His brother, Alphonse, chuckled lightly, "I'm pretty sure when we get to Fumiko and Aria's house that you'll get the chance to rest. But knowing you, you'll probably head straight to the town's library."

"You bet. This town could probably know something about the stone. If not then some kind of clue." Edward replied as he scooted over in his seat to look out the window. Not from too far, he could see their destination closing in. They were arriving in a small, peaceful town that seemed pretty quiet. He glanced back to his brother who continued to talk.

"But what about Aria? I thought the point of this trip was to come see her 'cause you two were tired of writing letters?"

"Well of course I'm going to see her, I mean, it has been almost 10 years. I'd like to see how good she is with alchemy and fighting now."

"I'm pretty sure Fumiko has trained her just as well as teacher has trained us. They ARE good friends."

That fact sent a shiver up Edward's spine, "Ugh, don't remind me. They're probably the same: destructive with mind blowing power. Let's just hope they don't share a temper."

"But didn't Aria say that she's like a mother to her? I'm pretty sure she's not that bad then."

"I just hope your right. And she knows about our situation so I hope she doesn't say anything to teacher.""If we ask her not to it should be ok. Anyways, we also heard from Colonel Mustang that she's a pretty good fighter."

Suddenly, Edward furrowed his brow and folded his arms into some pout, "I can't believe that jerk. He's like a big brother to her. He doesn't deserve to be! Who does he think he is?! Spoiling her and sweet talking her! THAT'S NOT BROTHERLY LOVE! THAT'S CALLED BEING A PEDOPHILE!!"

Alphonse shook his head, "He took her in after her parent's died, it's only reasonable. Besides, why are YOU getting so worked up? Your jealous aren't you?"

Edward blushed lightly and stammered, "T-that's ridiculous! Why would I be jealous?! I'm just saying!"

"Sure, sure."

"Shut up."

Suddenly, both the brothers glanced outside to see they were arriving in the town's station. "Oh! Time to go!" Edward shouted as he reached up for his suitcase that sat on the shelf above the seats.

I'm sure that we will meet…

I miss you day and might…

"Alright Al! You're it!"

"What?! Why?!"

"Because you lost the last time we played hide and seek."

"Fine."

"Ok count from 50!"

4 small children played happily outside in the outstretching green plains with very few houses but farms and a river. One of them was Edward, about 5 years old; he was a child with gold hair and gold eyes. Along with his brother, Alphonse, who was about 4 years old; a boy with dark brown hair and hazelnut colored eyes. The other two children were two 5 year olds as well. One was Winry, she had bleach blonde hair that was cut short and she had blue eyes. Finally, the other girl was Aria, she had dark blonde hair that was long to the top of her back and hazel eyes.

Alphonse sighed, he was obviously not pleased with having to be it. He turned around and placed his arm over his face to cover his eyes.

"50...49...48.…"

The other children giggled and scattered off to find places to hide. Edward quickly found an old broken-down tractor to hide behind. From the other side, Aria ran past him in her search for a spot. "Aria! Aria" Edward called out in a hushed voice. Aria heard and looked back to see him crouched down behind the tractor. He moved his hands in a motion to signal her to come to him. She ran quickly and sat by the other boy as he sat next to her.

"You can hide with me."

"Ha ha ok Ed." She smiled back to him.

"You have to leave soon, don't you?"

Aria frowned and looked down to her lap, "Yeah, mommy and daddy said we have to go back home and our vacation is over."

Edward frowned and looked back to her, "Will you be coming back?"

Aria looked back to him and lightly smiled, "Yeah, mommy and daddy said we can come back after they finish some work so I guess next summer."

"That's too long."

"We can keep in touch with letters. Mommy said she would help me send letters to you whenever I want. But my mommy and daddy have to get back to their alchemy and they say that some other alchemist is coming to stay with us for a while to study with them. Then they're going to teach me some too, beside what you guys have shown me."

Edward continued to frown and looked down at the ground by Aria. Aria frowned also but tried to get Edward to look back at her, "I'll be back again Ed don't worry. I Don't want to leave either…"

Edward looked back to her once more, "Before you leave, we have to make one thing official."

"What is that?"

"Your mine forever, you understand?"

Aria's eyes widened as a puzzled look appeared on her face, "W-what…?"

Suddenly, Edward's face looked very determined as she looked back into Aria's eyes.

"You have to be mine forever. Then when we get bigger we can get married."

Aria continued to have a bewildered look on her face, but she realized how serious he was. They had been together all summer and even though they were so young, they somehow managed to fall in love.

"So you have to promise you will be mine and no one else's ever. And you have to promise to always stay in touch with me so we never lose each other."

Aria softly smiled and shook her head, "I promise. I will always be yours and when we are bigger we will get married."

"And we'll have 20 kids."

"Are you serious?!"

"Yeah."

"Oh great." She chuckled lightly as Edward grinned and reached into his back pocket. When he brought out it's contents were a piece of chalk, a small piece of wire, and a couple of violet beads. He set them down and started to use the chalk to draw a small transmutation circle. He place the wire and beads into the middle of it then placed his hands around the circle. Then a great white light shined from the circle as Aria watched in amazement. When the light disappeared, a small ring made up of the wire and beads laid in the middle of the circle. Edward lightly picked up the ring and handed it to Aria, "Keep this forever so it will remind you of me." He grinned widely as Aria took the ring and put it on her left wedding finger.

"I'll keep it close to me forever."

"And when you learn alchemy, I made it so you can easily use alchemy to adjust it's size for when you get older."

The ring was small and the beads were lined in the shape of a diamond and surrounded by other small clear beads. It was beautifully crafted just as Edward has always made things artistically.

"Found you!"

Both the children jumped up startled and turned to see Alphonse and Winry on the other side of them.

"What?! How did you find us?!" Edward exclaimed.

"I saw the light from your transmutation circle brother."

"Oh….dang it."

Suddenly, all 4 of the children burst out laughing.

Later that night…

3 adults sat around a table in the kitchen that belonged to Edward and Alphonse's house, along with their mother, Trisha. She was visiting with Aria's parents, Tamera and Cory, who had been staying with them for vacation. Tamera was a tall and beautiful woman with long, curly, blonde hair and green eyes. Corey was a tall, buff man with brown hair and hazel eyes. Trisha, was a petite woman with brown hair and green eyes.

"So, then, I guess this is our last time being together like this." Trisha said.

"For now but we'll be back." Tamera replied.

Trisha smiled, "I'm sure you will. Thank you anyways for coming out to see us all the way in Risembool."

"Not at all. It was fun to come out here and get away from work for once. Especially for Aria. She's had a lot of fun with your boys. Especially Edward." Corey added.

"Ha ha yes I could see that, they got along quite fine."

Tamera interrupted, "They won't leave each other alone! It's so cute!"

"I agree. It's sad you 3 have to leave but I'll be sure to help Edward with sending letters to her."

"I as well." Tamera smiled back at Trisha.

"So I heard you 2 are going to start teaching her alchemy soon."

"Oh yes and our traditional family kind as well."

"So your going to tattoo the transmutation in her palms so she doesn't need to draw a circle all the time?"

"Well what we do is use alchemy to imprint the circle into the palms. But they only appear on each hand when she activates them. And since they are on each hand, she could learn to use one hand to do alchemy."

"That's an interesting way to do it."

"It's how we use is too and it's been passed down in our family for generations."

"I see."

"Yes, and soon we should be able to continue our research once we get home. And soon with her help as we train her."

"Along with Fumiko as well I'm sure?"

"Oh yes, of course."

"Then I'm sure she will be an exceptional alchemist."

"And so will your boys and they have a pretty good head start."

"Yes, they're just like their father. I'm so proud of them."

Corey added in, "We should get to bed soon. Got to go early in the morning."

Trisha got up from her chair, "Yes we should."

"Let's go check up on the children." Tamera said.

Trisha, Tamera, and Corey made their way up the stairs to Edward and Alphonse's room. The door to their room was slightly cracked to let in some light into the dark room. All 3 adults peeked into the room, discreetly opening the door for space to see.

On one end of the bed, Alphonse was bundled up with a blanket and peacefully sleeping. The other end, Edward slept with his blanket kicked off and his stomach out of his shirt. On his right side, Aria curled up next to him; sleeping on his right arm while her right arm stretched over his chest and her right leg stretched over his legs. With his left arm, he held on to her arm that was on him. All 3 adults quietly chuckled at the sight as they quietly closed the door all the way.

The next morning…

At a nearby train station Tamera, Corey, and Aria waited for their train. Aria sat on top of her fathers shoulders with a depressing look on her face as she looked into the distance. Her mother noticed this look and asked her, "What's wrong dear?"

"Where's Ed?"

"They should be on their way soon to see us off. Don't worry."

Aria glanced down at her left hand with the ring that Edward has transmuted for her. She stared at it for a while until her mother interrupted.

"What's that sweetie?"

"Ed made it for me."

"Oh? Is it a promise ring?"

"Yeah, sort of."

"What kind of promise?"

"I can't tell you yet."

Her mother laughed and patted her daughter's head, "Alright dear."

Moments later, Trisha called out from behind the family, "You weren't leaving without saying good bye were you?"

They quickly turned to see Trisha who brought Edward and Alphonse with her. Aria lightly kicked her feet to her father's chest for a signal to let her down.

"Ok ok down you go." He crouched over to let Aria get off his shoulders and onto the ground. She quickly ran over to the other family as she went straight to Edward. Her parents walked over to speak with Trisha as Alphonse grasped onto her apron and stayed by her side.

As Aria ran to Edward, she reached out her arms and wrapped them around his neck as he slightly stumbled back but regained his balance. He raised his right arm and placed it over her back to hold her too. Aria slowly took her arms off him and stood to face him. He was about 2 inches taller than her but she still had to look up at him a little. Tears started to stream down both their faces as they stared at each other for a long time.

"M-make sure you send letters." Edward forced out of his frequent breathe from crying.

"Y-you t-too." Aria replied as she sniffed through her tears.

Suddenly, the incoming train arrived in the station and blew off it's whistle.

"We better hurry you two." Corey interrupted the dimness of the last visit. He picked up his wife and daughter's bags, "Alright let's go."

Tamera looked back to Trisha, "Thank you so much for having us. We'll keep in touch."

"Come visit us anytime."

Both the parents nodded and gave each other their last hugs. Tamera bent over to pick up Aria, "Time to go honey."

Aria looked up to her mother with tears still streaming down her cheeks then back to Edward. She quickly hugged him once more then went into her mothers arms, picking her up. She waved to Edward saying nothing as they left. Edward waved back, still quietly crying as well. He watched as they boarded the train and the train door closing behind them with Aria still looking in his direction.

The family took their seats and Aria quickly went up to their seat's window, opening it and sticking her head out a little. The window was on the side of the station were they were leaving Edward and his family. The train slowly started chugging and leaving the station.

Edward ran to the edge of the sidewalk by the train as it started to leave. Suddenly, he heard Aria call out to him and caught his attention. He looked to where she stuck her head out the window and stared back at each other.

At the last minute, Aria said yelled over the chugging and whistle of the leaving train.

"EDWARD!!!"

He rapidly replied, "YEAH?!"

"I LOVE YOU!!!!"

Edward's eyes widened but he quickly yelled back.

"I LOVE YOU TOO!!!"

I can hear you

Even after I learned that I couldn't see you anymore
