A girl walked up to the entrance of the Eastern Command Center. She said to herself, "Finally! I made it to the East Command Center! Now, I have to meet the boy they call Fullmetal. Whoever this Fullmetal Alchemist is, he better watch out cause there's a new alchemist on her way!" The girl was about 15 years old and she had long, light brown hair that she made into a french braid ponytail. She also wore black leather clothes and a belt with a dark blue jacket and cape.
Up in Roy Mustang's office, Roy was furious about all the paperwork he had to do. He was pacing around the room and looked like he was about to kill something. "Roy, you need to cool down. You're so mad, you're catching yourself on fire. Literally." Roy stopped and looked at his shirt. It was smoldering and turned a little black. He got even more furious and walked to the window. He blinked and saw the girl standing out in the square. "Hey Maes. Wasn't Ed supposed to be on the train to Resembool?" Maes looked up from picking up papers that Roy threw and replied, "Yeah, why?" Roy smiled and said, "I think we have a Fullmetal coward in our military." Maes faced the other way and said to himself, "You should talk." "What was that Hughes?" Maes turned quickly and relied,"Nothing!"
The girl looked up at the office window and saw Roy. She said, "Hmm. Maybe those two know where the Colonel is so I can talk to him about Fullmetal." She ran up to the doors and threw it open. She ran inside and stopped when she felt someone grab her shoulder. The girl turned around and saw a man with short, light- orangish hair and a cigarette in his mouth. "Hey, I know you. You're Lieutenant Havoc." Havoc stared at her and scratched his head, "Uh, yeah I am. So, uh, who are you?" The girl smiled and said, "My name is Kimiko Ashihara. I came to talk to the Colonel." "Oh, okay. Follow me." Havoc led Kimiko down the hallway to a room near the end. He opened the door and she went inside.
Roy was sitting at his desk with Hughes standing beside him. He bent down and told Roy, "Hey Roy. That is not Ed. Last time I checked, Ed was a guy, not a girl."
Roy was dumbstruck, "Then why do they both look the same?"
Kimiko walked up to the desk and said, "Sir, with your permission, I would like to become a State Alchemist." Roy thught about that for a while, then smiled at Kimiko. Her face lit up as he said, "I think that you would make a great State Alchemist. What's your power anyway?" Kimiko replied to him, "Me? I can do a little with metal, but more in with electricity." Roy sat back in his chair and chuckled. He looked at Kimiko and said, "I know exactly what your first mission should be, too."
"Ed, what'd you do this time?" Winry asked as she took a wrench and screwdriver from her toolbox. Ed looked at her with an annoyed look and replied, "I don't know. This is your handiwork." An anger mark popped up on her head and she grabbed Ed's left arm (his real arm) and twisted it around his back. She said to him, "But, this is your hand's work that does this!" She twisted his arm tighter and pulled it farthe behind him. "OW! Winry qui--Ow! Stop it Winry!" There was a knock at the door and Winry just dropped Ed's arm. She went to the door and opened it.
Kimiko was standing there. Winry jumped and looked back at Ed. Ed shrugged and stood up. Kimiko stared at both of them and said, "I-I'm looking for an, uh, Edward Elric?" Ed was confused. He's never seen her before and he didn't know why she was here. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm Edward Elric. What is it you want with me?" Kimiko dug in her pocket and took out a silver watch. She told him, "I'm supposed to travel with you. The Colonel assigned me here."
