A young woman sat on a bench in partial shade, her midnight hair was draped over her shoulder in a tight French braid. Her bangs were layered and fell jaggedly in front of her eyes, streaked with brilliant blue highlights. Cold, icy sapphire eyes stared out towards the railroad as a sly smirk crossed her rosy lips. She wore faded greenish-brown cargo jeans with large back pockets and side pockets at the ends of her jeans. A simple black leather belt was fitted around her waist with a embellished blue dagger as a buckle. Her navy blue shirt was sleeveless and ran a centimeter from the top of her pants. Matching blue loves were drawn up to four inches shy of her shoulder and were fingerless. Her feet were outfitted in black leather high heeled boots with a large silver buckle on the outside of each one.

In front of her was a orange covered novel, held firmly in one hand.
"Hehehehe…." She giggled softly, twirling the end of her braid around her finger, "Hmmmm…." She looked down at her watch on her left hand and sighed heavily, "Another hour passed…..where could that train be?" She went back to her book.

Slowly a man with dirty blonde hair sauntered over to her, and smoothly took the seat next to her.

"Hey baby." He smiled.

No answer.

"You waiting for the East city train?"

Again there was no answer. He slightly glared at the woman, who continued to casually read her book without noticing him.

"Was this seat taken?"

"Hm…" She finally looked up, "Oh no by all means…." She flashed him a brilliant smile.

"Thanks." He smiled back warmly, "My name's Brennan."

"Rayna." The woman accepted his offered hand.

"Pleasure to meet you." Brennan smirked innocently, leaning closer. Rayna shot him a weary look but nonetheless continued to look friendly.

"Ditto…." Rayna turned her attention back to wait for the train.

"Waiting for someone?" Brennan asked sweetly.

"Mm-hm." Rayna nodded her head, rolling her eyes when he wasn't looking. Duh, as if I'd sit here for nothing….

"Your…ah…um….boyfriend?" He struggled forming the words.

Rayna burst out laughing. It was a soft, sweet sounding feat that softened her icy eyes.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend." Rayna replied still chuckling.

"Good….I mean…uh…mmm…." Brennan trailed off as a deep blush crossed his face.

Screech! A train appeared in the distance, batter and smoking black smog. As it neared, Rayna stood up.

"Well that's my train." Rayna said, smiling down at the blushing boy, "Nice talking to you Brennan. Maybe we'll meet you again." She winked then turned to leave. Not giving him time to reply, Rayna approached the train. It was worse up close. Holes, scorch marks, entire sections missing.

"Yep, definitely Keria's train." Rayna sighed, shaking her head slowly, "Mustang's not going to be happy, she's managed to destroy another train."

The whistle sounded as passengers piled out of train. Rayna searched the crowd but saw nothing that would indicate Keira's form. Fleeing people began flocking out of a compartment.

"Freaks!"

"They destroyed the train!"

"Hey come on, they also saved our lives!"

"Ya! Give them a break!"

"Sounds like I'm going in the right direction." Rayna laughed as she pushed past a bunch of men. It was then that she spotted the silver glint in the corner of her eye. She turned to the sight of a large suit of armor.

"Alphonse Elric…" She observed out loud, "….kinda hard to miss that."

The crowd thinned out providing a clear path leading to the small group. There were four of them standing in a circle around each other, apparently arguing about something.

"How was it my fault?!" A very short golden haired man yelled.

"Well I distinctly remember it was you who transmuted the damn cannon!" An equally small cinnamon red-haired woman screamed back.

"But you were the one to fire it!" The man countered.

"AH shut up Ed!" The girl hollered.

"Keria!" Rayna cried, running straight toward hem. Everyone slowly turned her way and blinked confused.

"Who the hell is that?" Ed cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh shit!" Keira cursed turning the opposite direction, "Not her…Anyone but her!" She tried to make a mad dash away.

Rayna caught her easily and wrapped her arms around Keria's waist. Se lifted her off the ground and bean flinging her around in circles.

"Keira!" Rayna chirped happily.

"Put me down Rayna! Damn it! Let go!" Keira flared her arms around wildly.

"Oh…sorry…" Rayna laughed nervously, setting her down gently.

Keria glared up at her.

"Oh Keria, don't be like that… I know you missed me and I missed you too…" she ruffled her hair. "My little squirt."

"Don't call me squirt!" Keria screamed. Rayna laughed.

AL and Ed stared blankly at the two women, having no clue to what was going on.

Rayna looked up and spotted Corvin.

"Oh hey, Corvin. I see my sister decided to drag you along with her."

Corvin smiled.

"As always… it's a pleasure to see you again Rayna… and yes she did drag me along."

Keria glared.

"Hey… I told you, you didn't have to come but you did anyway."

"Yes I suppose I did… only to stop your from destroying anything else." He stated. "Well I must be on my way." He bowed and walked off. Keria followed him with her gaze.

"I really don't like you…"

WACK! Rayna banged Keria on top of the head.

"Ow damn it… what was that for?" Keria demanded.

"For not writing me. I was scared to death that you'd been killed." Rayna teared up. "You selfish, nosey, little pipsqueak."

"Stop calling me names!" Keria shook her fists furiously.

"Or you'll what?" Rayna cocked an eyebrow.

"I'll kick you sorry ass!" Keria threatened.

"As if you could." Ryna retorted, "Can you even reach it." She wiggled her butt.

"Ahhhh! That's it! You can me, right now!" Keria pointed at her.

"Hold on a second." AL stepped in between them.

"What the heck is going on here?" ED held up his hands.

"I'm going goanna beat her once and for all!" Keria elaborated.

"Big words for such a small target." Rayna shrugged unconcerned, "If you wanna fight then fine, but the records gonna stay the same. You should know better by now, we always equal etch other out."

"Rrrrrrr! Not today. I'm gonna beat your ass, mark my words!" she bellowed.

"Now, now girls." Hughes waked up and grabbed Keria's collar and hoisted her off the ground, "Behave yourselves."

"Let me down! Down I said!" Keria screamed as she squirmed trying to free herself.

"Cant you just give your big sister a hug?" Hughes asked.

"If I give her anything it'll be a fist in the face, and it'll be from my left hand!" She countered, growling angrily, "Let me down dad!"

"Oh such an angry child I have… where did we go wrong Gracia?" He sighed with mock tears running down his cheeks.

ED and AL stood baffled, blinking at them lost.

"We better get back to Central." Rayna announced.

"Ah, right." Hughes smiled as he marched off unaware he was still holding Keria.

"Uh hello! Hey!" Keria hollered as she flared her arms, "Uh forget about someone?!"

Hughes turned around, a questioning look in his eye.

"And what would that be? We've already got the luggage."

Hughes and Rayna both burst out laughing. Keria glared straight ahead eyes white with anger and murderous.

"Oh… HA HA HA I FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH!" she bellowed flaring around.

Rayna leaned down to her.

"well look on at it this way, at least you don't have to walk." She said happily.

"Oh shut up Rayna!" Keria growled pouting her bottom lip.

"Now, now Rayna, we really shouldn't tease he that much." Hughes pointed out.

"Oh I know, but its just so fun, and she's just so adorable when she's angry. Oh come here baby sister… give me a hug." She held out her arms.

"COME NEAR ME AND I'LL SOCK YOU!" Keria said with a fanged angry face.

Hughes turned around to find ED and AL who were still stationary and bewildered.

"You coming?" he asked.

ED and AL snapped out of it as they shook there heads.

"Uh yeah." ED replied. They followed Hughes. They all walked in silence, the occasional huff from Keria breaking it as she tried to struggle free from Hughes grip but failed miserably. The true silence was finaly broken by ED.

"So… lieutenant… uh…you gonna explain what happened back there?" ED asked.

Hughes looked over his shoulder.

"Oh that." He waved the matter aside. "Just a friendly quarrel."

"Family quarrel?" ED asked.

"Then you all really are related." AL stated.

"Of course! Couldn't you tell?! These are my wonderful daughters, and I am there loving daddy!" he pointed into the sky as a ray of godly light shone on him.

ED and AL sweatdropped.

"YOR NO DADDY OF MINE!" Keria bellowed, "NOW PUT ME DOWN!"

Rayna held out a hand to Hughes.

"Do not worry father, when the world turns on you I will be there."

Hughes held out a hand to her.

"Oh Rayna you are my strength and adversity!" he cried comically as he reached out for her and they slowly floated toward etch other.

"Je te mon amor…" they said in unison as they got closer, "Mon cherie."

"Are they speaking French?" ED asked as he sweatdropped watching the seen.

"I didn't know they could speak French." AL added staring comically as Hughes and Rayna clutched etch other hugging etch other. Keria became squashed in between the two flaring her arms.

"Oh god not this again! YOUR EMBARISSING ME! IT WAS BAD ENOUGH AT CENTRIL!"

Hughes and Raynas eyes snapped open as they looked down to see a murderous glaring Keria in between them. There was a long silence. They parted and as soon as Keria hit the ground she took off but Hughes reached out and grabbed the collar of her shirt before she could get to far.

"I don't think so missy. Central's waiting, not to mention Mustang." Hughes stated as he carried her.

"Grrrr." She growled flaring her arms with a comical look of anger, "I don't give a flying fuck what he needs! Mr. I have a flaming up my ass can do it himself! Let me go!"

"Not a chance."

"I hate you!"

"Well that's to bad because I love you." He said in a gooey loving tone.

"Your such a freak!"

"Kissie, kissie, kissie." He puckered up.

"Don't touch me!"

"Oh come on… you know you love it."

"I really don't." she blushed.
