Rachel Discovers Alchemy:

I felt like I was suspended in some sort of dark goo. No light shone from any direction, just me floating there. 'Well damn this is boring,' I thought as I lay there not truly knowing is I was awake or asleep. Then suddenly light erupted below me in the form of a weird circle; it was a strange yellowish-blue color. 'Okay this is really weird.' Some sort of electricity started to go through the circle making it even brighter. Forcing me to squeeze my eyes shut; I silently prayed that I wasn't being used in some sort of cultish sacrifice.

I heard the crackle of the lightning followed by the sound of voices. I opened my eyes a bit to meet the bright blue of the sky. "What the hell," A voice shouted nearby. I tried to turn my head towards the voice, but my energy was suddenly sucked out of my body. Exhaustion swept over me as I fell back to sleep, and foot steps ran towards my now unconscious body.

"Do you think she's okay," a metallic voice said near me. It sounded a lot like a child's voice though in my condition I wasn't entirely sure.

"I don't know, Alphonse. I guess we'll just have to wait until she wakes up," another voice, female this time, said softly.

Another voice decided to enter the conversation as well making me wonder how many people were in this room, "Well she interrupted my fight with Colonel Bastard. I was winning too." This voice was male and made me feel slightly relaxed (1) even though he was talking louder than Acacia normally would.

I groaned a bit like I normally did when people were being too loud and wouldn't let me sleep. "Hey, brother, I think she's waking up," The child like voice said.

I opened my eyes to find out who these people were and why they wouldn't just let me sleep. I blinked away the blurriness from sleep to see two golden orbs staring right back at me. "Holy crap," I screamed as I punched the owner of the eyes right in the face. I sat up a little two quickly making me dizzy as I glared at the owner if the eyes.

On the flood a boy a little younger than me clutched his nose and returned my glare with equal ferocity. He had hair that matched the color of his eyes. He was dressed all in black with the exception of a bright red trench coat. Even the boots he was wearing were black with red lining. "What the hell was that for," he growled at me.

"For scaring the hell out of me jerk-wad," I replied as I crossed my arms over my chest. I looked around the room to get a feel for where I was. I was sitting on a light green sofa in a plain looking room. A large wooden desk sat at one end of the room in front of some huge bay windows. I looked down at myself at that moment. I was still wearing my Blue and white stripped tank under a white t-shirt button up blouse, blue jean shorts, and tan converse shoes. The only thing different was that everything was more from fitting and made me seem better looking. I turned to face the other people in the room. There were three of them one being the boy I punched in the nose, another being a huge suit of armor, and the last being a woman in her twenties. In what looked like a navy blue military uniform and her blond hair pinned up in a bun-ish thing in the back. These people seemed really familiar as I stared them down from the sofa.

The woman in blue seemed to notice that I was now fully awake and turned to the other two strangers in the room, "Edward Alphonse, make sure she doesn't leave the room. Colonel Mustang wished to ask her a few questions." her voice was firm and then she left not even asking if I was okay; well no one ever does.

Slowly but surly the wires in my head connected. 'Colonel Mustang, Edward, and Alphonse, now where have I heard those names before?' My eyes widened with realization. 'HOLY FUDGE MUFFINS! I'm in FMA... sweet. If I'm dreaming let me sleep for a while longer.' I must have had a really stupid look on my face because I soon realized that the Ed and Al were staring at me. "What," I said swiftly while fighting my internal urges to glomp them.

Ed's eyes narrowed at me probably figuring out if I was an enemy or not. He opened his mouth to speak when the door opened revealing a dark haired stranger. The man looked like a pale Japanese or even Chinese person. Considering where I was I registered who he was immediately the Colonel Bastard himself, Roy Mustang.

I sat up a little straighter as the inner me squealed as he looked over at me. His blank face grew a smirk after I moved. I smiled brightly at him in my own little quiet greeting way. He made his way around towards his desk keeping his eyes on me. He then turned to Riza keeping his eyes on me as he spoke to her, "Hawkeye, please take Fullmetal and his brother out of the room for a minute. I wish to speak with this girl privately for a moment." Riza nodded and lead the suite of armor and a steaming alchemist out of the office.

As soon as the door closed Roy started to write or sign some papers on his desk. I turned my body on the couch a bit so that I was facing him. We sat like that for a few minutes until the silence started to kill me, "Sooo... the weather seems nice." 'God I suck at starting a conversation.' I smiled innocently as I mentally kicked myself.

Roy looked up at me and folded his hands in front of him on the desk. "Yes," he said blandly, "It's been like this all week."

Silence again the two of us just had a stare down. Well he more just stared at me while I watched a bird flying outside the window behind him. Roy must have notice I wasn't completely there because he spoke up again, "Alright, I want you answer a few questions for me okay?"

"O-okay," I stuttered.

"Well I think we are in need of some introductions. My name is Colonel Roy Mustang. Now what's yours?"

I sat in silence considering my options. I could either A) Tell him my name, or B) Run out of the room. Most likely screaming, cause that was just how I roll. I decided that with the pyro in the room option A was probably the safest. "Umm it's Rachel," I said shyly.

"That's a very pretty name." Damn him and his womanizing skills I could feel my face heating up. "So, Rachel where are you from?"

My mind drew a blank. How in the world do you tell someone where your from if it doesn't even exist? "Uh," I said avoiding eye contact, "Minnesota?"

Roy stared at me like I had just grown an extra head. "Okay then where exactly is the town of Minnesota?"

'He thinks it's a freaking TOWN!' I wanted to do nothing more at that moment than bang my head up against the wall. "Well it's not exactly a town per-say... Minnesota's more like a... state," My voice grew so quiet that the word state barley registered from my mouth. I should have lied and said I was from somewhere like Youswell or New Optain, but no my stupid conscious wouldn't let me. Drat I was raised too well.

Silence followed my sentence. I couldn't tell what was going through Mustang's head either; his entire face was a complete mask. When he finally did speak his voice was laced with the sign that he was clearly ticked, "Cute, now where are you really from?"

Inside I mentally cowered trying to find some route of escape. As soon as I decide to lie or demand why he cared so much the door opened. 'Thank God.' A few more officers in blue uniforms filed into the office. 'Great just freaking great they were probably here to kill me.' That's when I noticed that Mustang stood up and was saluting the last man that had entered the room.

His uniform was different from the others since the jacket was more like a long tunic. He had dark aging hair and an eye patch over his left eye. 'Woo King Bradley's here,' I thought sarcastically as I rolled my eyes at him. Bradley told the Colonel at ease and walked deeper into the room. He looked down at me on the couch and looked me over like I was a piece of meat. My eyes narrowed at him threatening him to try something.

He turned to the Colonel completely ignoring me, "So this is the girl?"

"Yes, sir. I was only able to find out here name before you entered." I could make out the slight annoyance in his voice as he spoke, "Her name is Rachel and she refuses to tell us anything more."

"Yah, because Bradley has the worst timing ever. I mean we were only talking for a few minutes. What else are you going to get out of me oh wise one,' I thought as I stared blankly at the two men.

I smiled as Bradley turned back to face me since I didn't want to upset the "Almighty Fuhrer."

He smiled cheerfully at me and stuck out his hand, "Hello Rachel, I'm Fuhrer King Bradley."

'Bite me.' I stared at his hand for moment before turning back to him. "Pleasure," I said not making any moves to return his handshake. I'd rather check how far a cow is along on my cousin's farm than shake his hand.

Upon realizing that I wasn't going to shake his homunculi hand he slowly lowered it back to his side. "Well anyway Rachel; how about you tell us where you're from?"

I froze 'crap' I can't just not say anything and if I said another town name there might look into it. Time for operation conceal the rest of identity. "I-I don't really remember. I made up a place, so the Colonel wouldn't get made at me. All I can recall is my name and a few other things."

I quickly avoided eye contact and stared at my lap. Those few years of drama were coming in handy.

Bradley and Roy both looked surprised. I pleaded inside that that this would work. Roy's eyes narrowed suspiciously, but Bradley just smiled at me. It was kind of creepy how he was looking at me.

"Well it seems that your have amnesia, Miss Rachel."

I blinked 'This guy was actually buying this?' "Yah...sure let's go with that," I said still thinking that they would see through my lie. The only person that didn't seem to believe me was Mustang, but he wasn't saying anything to prove other wise.

Bradley on the other hand seemed to be plotting something. "Well, Rachel, maybe the military can help you with that."

"How," I asked suspiciously.

"Well based on the alchemy you displayed earlier-"

I stared at him stunned, I did what?'

"-I'm going to make you a state alchemist," he said smiling.

I stared at him in shock my mouth a gape. It took me a few minutes to find my voice before I screamed, "WAITE... WHAT!"
