Arg, it was terrifying trying to wait the two day that will allow me post up stories. I know, the first chapter was a bit… Skippy. Just in case you want to know, there will be a lot of things that happens in Sing's past that relates to Ed and Al's pasts. SEVERE WARNING: READ THE STORY OF SONG AND SHADOW BY ARCTIC SHADOWSTAR BEFORE READING THIS AND DO NOT BLAME ME IF THE SCARY STORIES GIVES YOU NIGHTMARES. Haha joking there will be no scary stories, but a whole bunch of weird stuff. DO NOT DARE ASK ME WHO ROSE OR LEAF IS, YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT!
The Story of Song
Place: Salkara, aka Island of the Emerald Eye.
Inhabitants: Salkarians; pale skin, pale blue eyes that turn red when angered.
Rose stared, bored, at her hands. Flicking her bangs back and forth, she pondered for something to do.
"Rosie! Rosie-Posie had a nosie, and she did make a ring of mosie!" Rose snorted with annoyance at her friend's behavior.
"Don't call me that!" Rose pouted. Leaf hopped over, his eyes shining.
"Let's go exploring!" He squeaked. Rose frowned. "We're only five!"
Leaf grinned lopsidedly. "Heehee, and we can sneak off!"
Rose pursed her lips together stubbornly. "No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
Leaf shoved Rose comically. "Fine, and you can stay here and grow old of boredom."
Despite herself, Rose began laughing. "Heehee, maybe you'll come back and find that I died of boredom, Heehee."
"Haha, maybe I'll come back and see a grinning skeleton that was a little girl who stayed at home and bored herself to death!"
"Hee, then I'll look at you and say, 'Too, late! I've died of boredom!'"
Leaf hopped up and danced around Rose. "Ha, come on, Rosie, let's go before I catch your boredom and die of lack of fun!" Rose pursed her lips again. "Only if you stop calling me Rosie!"
"Then I'll call you Posie!"
"Then I won't go with you!"
"Fine! Rose, there!"
Rose grinned and hopped up, skipping outside to play with her best friend.
…
Leaf would not admit that they were lost. Rose kept on arguing with him about where to go and that made him quite indignant.
"Leaf! You said it was around here!"
Leaf stuck out his tongue and sang:
"Fiddle la di,
Fiddle la fi,
You'll feel very surprisingly
At how much knowledge know by me!"
Rose shoved him playfully and sang:
"There once was little fibber,
Who loved to fib and lie,
I once knew a little fibber,
But that little fibber blew up, so let us all say bye!"
Leaf tilted his head and pointed, "what's that?"
Rose snorted. "What's what?" She muttered, annoyed that she even came here. Leaf blinked his pale, almost pupil-less blue eyes and shrugged. "A building."
"Now, what are you two doing out here!" A motherly voice rang out sternly behind the two young ones. Rose didn't bother turning back to look. "Sorry, Mother Marjoram." She mumbled. Marjoram glared severely at the miscreants and sighed.
"This is the place where we're forbidden to go, you are not foolish infants who are new to our law, you should know better." Marjoram lectured the two children sternly.
"But we're only little kids," Leaf whined, "we haven't even taken a whole tour of the island yet." Marjoram sighed. "Alright, but now you know, though I'm surprised at you, Rose, you are the new hope of our people and you should know better than to wander off to who-knows-where without a responsible adult anywhere nearby!"
Rose scowled darkly, her blue eyes defiant and stubborn. "We're fine, and we haven't come to any harm, have we? This is not too far away from the camp and Leaf can be heard a mile away if he's hungry or in danger. Also this part of the woods aren't dangerous." Rose argued flatly.
Marjoram gazed at her, not wanting to argue with the fierce-when-needed child that now stood staring challengingly at her with fire-filled eyes. Marjoram sighed. "Come back now, both of you, I made apple-and-crimson-berry crumble, you can have some if you're quick." At the mention of food, both young ones lightened considerably. They skipped off, hand in hand, chatting about how much they can eat.
…
Rose crept sulkily into the king's room. The king stared unhappily at her and dismissed the other guards. Then he leaned forward and sighed. "Rose, my child, how am I going to say this? You have been brought up on the strictest laws, yet you still run off and do silly things."
Rose tilted her head defiantly at her father. "What could I do, stuck in the palace all day, bored and unhappy, with no one to play with or anything to do. You say I'm too young to go to school, that I still need to grow in the palace, and that I still am too small, and when I grow bigger I can go out." Rose blew a sigh of frustration. "What do I do? Sit around every day staring at the air and growing dumb bit by bit? Even Leaf knows more than I do, and he's younger by three months and never attended school!"
Rose's father smiled inwardly at his daughter's defiance and said aloud. "Then you want to begin your training tomorrow?"
Rose's eyes lit up. "YES!"
"Tomorrow it is, my Rose of Salkara."
…
"Well, shizz. We're stuck on this island." Song mumbled to Kou, surveying the island they were mysteriously transported to with open distain (read the story "Song and Shadow" by arctic shadowstar). Kou merely shrugged. Song went to wake up the unconscious people laying nearby: the Eleric brothers, Colonel Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, Winry Rockbell, and Greed (Greedling, but Ling's still there, this will be explained later).
"You people give me the creeps." Song muttered as she shook awake each one of them very, very violently.
Greed winced as he sat up. "You know, I'd rather die than have to be shaken awake by you again."
Song looked at him amusedly and looked around at the island they were on with a twitch of her left eye. "You've… Got… To… Be… FRICKEN KIDDING ME!" The island was a tropical resort kind of island, with a blue sea, a coral reef, a sandy white beach, a scatter of palm trees, a fresh-water lake, and a forest behind the small group.
Ed flicked a few grains of dust at the sea. "Why are we here again?"
"'Cause some idiot or the other transported us here!" Song's eyes twitched continuously. Greed began complaining about a comment Kou made until Kou kicked him in the back of his head before he could activate his Ultimate Shield and knocked him out. Song sighed and again dug her claw-like nails into his shoulders and treated him to another round of violent shaking.
"Ow, ow, ow! I'm awake! Stop shaking me! Ow!"
Song walked out of the room to the edge of the sea and sighed, eyes still twitching. As Ed woke up his brother and Winry while Kou woke up Roy and Riza, Song suddenly noticed something.
The fudge.
"Yeah, it's not so good."
Who transported you here anyways?
"If I knew, that person would be more than dead right now…"
I mean, this island is way beyond your level. Whoever lives here must be really strong.
"Sigh, oh well." Song walked back into the room.
The Colonel looked sheepish. "Sorry, I was the one who transported us here using a Philosopher's Stone due to orders."
Song's eyes twitched again. "Get over here, you idiotic moron Popcorn Kernel!" She growled.
The Colonel inched carefully over, and when he was in range, Song's left fist shot out like lightning, catching the Colonel a hard punch on his cheek. Then to everyone's (except Kou) amazement, Song began to pound the Colonel thoroughly into pulp and hammered him into the ground by stomping on his head. Then she transmuted a shovel and stuck it into the ground next to Mustang and snapped, "Someone dig him out." Then she stalked outside in a bad mood.
Okay, that's all, peeps. Sorry for the late update and I don't know how to make the lines that divides the story from the author's note… I'll ask my friend Jo later. But here they are, stuck on the deserted island, what will happen next?
