SPLAH!!!

Bubbles rose as she saw her feet above her head. Slowly sinking into a vast world of water, light shone above her and bubbles obscured her vision. The cool wetness of the water against her sink woke her, it was cold, but she couldn't move. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know where she was. The shock of going through that gate terrified her and she could only breathe deeply, but the water stopped her from doing that also. She closed her eyes as she sank lower into the water, until all lights went out.

Edward turned around and walked out the door. "I'm going to see mom, I'll be back for dinner!" He called to Winry and the others. He closed the door and stepped out onto the stones and walked up the path. He was going to see his mother grave. It had been 4 years since that day, that day when they made the mistake of transmuting a human being from the dead, and they still hadn't found that stone. Edward sighed, they'd find it soon, he promised himself that every night.

As Edward walked up the path past the lake he heard a splash. Quickly we ran to the shore just of the path and scanned the top of the lake. There were no ripples. That was odd, but he had just heard it! What happened here? He ran to the edge and looked at the surface when he double checked the lake that's when he saw it, or rather her. He quickly jumped in, clothes and all and tried to reach her. She was sinking fast. He took a deep breath and dove; as he came face to face with her he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up. Gasping for breath himself he pulled her to shore and looked at her. She wasn't breathing.

"Oh God what do I do? What do I do?" He said. Quickly he grabbed her chin and started to breath for her. Slowly the breaths went and her chest rised, but still no breathing. Her placed his hand on her chest and started to push, this had to work, all the books said it did. He pushed hard and then checked for breathing again. Still none. He breathed again and then she coughed. "Yes". He looked at the girl as she coughed and roll to her side. "Are you ok? What happened?" He asked putting his flesh hand on her shoulder. She coughed once more and looked up at him. "Yes, thank you. I don't know what happened. I was just under water." She said taking a deep breath.

"But how'd you get there?" He asked a bit confused. "I was just there, I don't know how." She said sadly. She looked down at the ground and sniffled a bit. Then she sneezed. The air here was cool. "We better get you in doors before you get a cold." He said standing and reaching out a hand to help her up. She took it gladly and stood, a little shakily. She took a few steps before she stumbled and Edward let her hang onto his arm.

"So, what's your name?" He asked. She was very pretty, even though she was wet. Her wet brown hair clung to her face and her green eyes were shiny, and tear dropped shaped. Her face wasn't round but not square and her figure was full, not skinny or chubby. She was beautiful. Edward bit his lip to stop himself from thinking such things about a stranger. "My name I-is Arisa." Arisa said. Edward smiled. Arisa was a pretty name. "Oh, that's a nice name, mine is Edward, Edward Elric." "Pleased to meet you Edward." She said looking up at him with those pretty eyes. "Like wise." He said back blushing.

They reached the Rockbell house, a yellow paneled home that was warm and cozy. Edward walked the poor cold wet girl up to the door and opened it with his automail arm. "Here we are, it's home away from home here." He said cheerfully. "Hey guys, I'm home!!" He yelled into the warm welcoming house. Arisa smiled and hung onto his arm tighter. She didn't even know him but she felt she could trust him. He had saved her life though. Then a thought occurred to her. Who am I though really?

Edward led her into the kitchen as Winry and AL came down the stairs. "You're back so soon brother did you go all the way there and just turn around?" His brother All asked, he was the big suit of armor. Winry smiled. "No Al, it looks like he found a girl." She laughed. "So what's her name?" She asked. "Oh, Winry, Al, this is Arisa, she fell into the lake and I happened to walk by and help her out." She said, cutting the real story in half. Arisa smiled, "Hello" She said shyly. She held out a shaking cold hand and Winry and Al gasped. "Edward, she's freezing, come over here, we'll get you some new clothes, just sit here by the fire." Winry said as she took her from Edward and set her down in a chair by the fire. She sat down and glanced at Edward who smiled back and shrugged h is shoulders. "That's Winry for you." He said. "I'll go get granny." He said going into the hall next to the kitchen.

Arisa sat by the fire and waited for Winry to come down. She was cold but the fire warmed her a bit. It got her thinking, how did I get here? Where was I firstly? Who am i? She thought. She didn't even remember the gate now. It was al shrouded in mist. All she knew was her name. That was all. She looked at the photos hanging on the wall and smiled. They must be photos of Edward and his brother. She saw them fishing and as babies and with Winry. She smiled and looked back that the fire when Winry came down with some clothes.

"Are you a bit warmer now?" She asked handing her the clothes and directing her towards the bathroom. "Yes, thank you." Arisa replied. She sneezed again and Winry frowned. "That's going to be a cold alright, we better get you some soup, are you hungry?" She asked. Arisa nodded as she made her way into the washroom. "Thank you for everything." She said smiling. "Oh it's nothing really, it's a good thing Edward found you when he did, you might have drowned." She said. Arisa didn't even know that she did drown; only that she was in water and then blackness. She smiled. "Tell him I said thank you." She said as she closed the washroom door.

Winry had given her a pair of jeans and a tang top. She looked in the mirror and slowly removed her wet clothing. She looked in the mirror and sighed. What happened? She asked herself. She looked at her hands and clapped them together, a faint memory of what her past had been, but she didn't know what or why she remembered that. She dropped her hands onto the sink and looked down at her feet. Then a light flashed and the sink melted into a puddle on the floor and reformed into a figurine of a girl dancing. Arisa yelped in shock and jumped back. Winry came running in at the sound and looked around holding her Wrench tightly in one hand. "What's wrong?" She asked looking around the bathroom. "I-I'm sorry, I-I melted your sink!" She said. "I don't know how I-I just melted when I touched it!" She said stuttering.

Winry looked at where the sink had once been and pick up the figure. "Well, looks like Ed has an alchemist friend just like himself." She said smiling, She left the room and called for Edward and Arise hastily changed and ran into the hallway to stop Winry from telling Edward what had happened. "Please don't, I didn't mean to, don't tell him!" She said frightened.

Winry turned and smiled at the girl. "Don't worry, it's nothing bad, he can fix it, but it'd be good for him to know, he might help you!" She said running ahead to get Edward. Arisa followed her shakily as Winry led her to the Kitchen where Edward was now calling Pinako Short names. Pinako was yelling back too, when Winry stepped in though, they both stopped and looked at Winry and Arisa. "And who might this be? You're Friend Ed?" Pinako asked. "Yes, I found her in the lake." Ed said. The Winry butted in. "Look Ed." She said handing Edward the dancing figure. "She did t his by accident in the bathroom, it's the sink, what do you think?" She asked smiling from ear to ear.

"Wow, it's detailed, you did this?" She said astonished to Arisa. Arisa nodded shyly, "I'm sorry." She said. "No need, I can fix it, but did you know you could do alchemy?" She asked studying the figure. "I-I don't remember." She said nervously. "I didn't know." She said looking at the ground. "Don't be upset, this is wonderful, we got to talk about this." She said pulling her out of the kitchen and up the stairs to where Al was waiting in Ed's bed room. "Wait till Al hears about this!" He said excitedly. Arisa just followed smiling a bit; this alchemy didn't seem so bad. Maybe she wouldn't get in trouble here like she did before. Again another faint memory, but she didn't know where it came from. The mysteries were just beginning as she walked further down the path Edward led her on.
