I soon found myself staring at the floor as I was thrown over my father's shoulder. "I told you I'd personally get you on that train." I glared and crosses my arms. "Put me down." Roy shook his head and bounced me a little, causing me to grunt as my stomach hit his shoulder.

"Ow! Dad!"

"Enough Spell."

"Put me down father!"

"Spell."

"…Please daddy.."

"I said no."

"daddy.."

"Keep on and I'm going to spank you."

"…..I'll be really good!"

"SPELL."

"Puh-leeease!"

"Fine." Roy sighed shifting me and setting me on my feet. I grinned and look for an exit. "There!" I smirked running full force towards the door. Several people stared as I ran towards the exit. One being my sister, another being my mother, "Riza!" She nodded and pursed to knock me off my feet and into my father's arms in one swift kick.

He glared swinging me back over his shoulder and walking towards the train. I pouted but remained silent as not to get my rear beat. I was then carried onto the train, gathering several looks from passengers. "what? Never seen a girl being forced against her will before?" "Bethany." Riza's tone seemed shocked. "sorry…" I whined. "Now be good." Roy sighed setting me down on one of the seats and putting my suitcase above me. "Yes sir.." I nodded, looking down.

"Why so upset Spell?"

"I don't wanna go.."

"I know..but look, its your first big mission." Roy smiled slightly ruffling my hair.

"But I don't wanna go.."

"We'll have fun sister!" Charm smiled.

"says you.."

"It'll be like house. Just like we use to play!" She giggled.

"I guess…" I looked out the window.

"We'll see you soon, love you." Roy sighed kissing my head and then my sister's.

"Call anytime." Riza added smiling at us before the two left.

I sighed, the trip to Resembool was a three hour ride..and it was 3:52 a.m…dad figured that if we left around that time we'd get there in time to greet the boys. I shrugged, " Whatever…" I opened the window and lay my head against the wooden frame. Feeling the breeze run through my hair as I slowly drifted off into a daydream.

I began to wonder about my assignments..what would they be like?..Would they like me?..What about sister? All these thoughts burst into my head at once, like a thousand firecrackers. I began to become frightened..and then I started missing my father. I looked at my sister then to the window.. "What if they hate me?.."

"Hmm? What?"

"What?"

"You said something…what was it Beth?"

"Oh..uh..nothing." I lied.

"Well..alright then…" My sister smiled before rolling back over and going to sleep.

I sighed and looked out the window,counting the seconds until the sun came up..things where going to be so much different now. I went from being babied to being a babysitter. Great, I wanted to grow up..but not this much.. "This sucks..and dumb Jere didn't do anything to stop it..then again he is lower rank than me." I smirked to myself continuing to gaze out the window. Loving the way the wind blew through my dark brown (almost black) hair. The way the sun shown down upon me and the way it made all the passing scenery come to life. Time began to fly by and before I knew it we had almost reached our destination.. "Sister?..We're almost there!" I sighed, unsure of wither I should be happy or not.

"Really?…Seems like we left only a few minutes ago.."

"Well..you have been asleep for two hours.."

"So we have an hour left?"

"Uh huh." I nodded.

"Wanna get some food?" Charm asked, glazing over at me.

I nodded and stood, "Wonder what kinda stuff will they be serving…"

"Not sure..maybe it'll be good."

"Yeah…keyword…maybe." I sighed.

She stood and joined me in standing in the isle. I smiled at her, ya know..maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I thought. I mean I'd have my sister there with me. And just maybe the two assignments wouldn't hate me too much..maybe..just maybe.. We walked back to the café in the back of the train and sat down, looked over the menus and settled on fries and two hamburgers. Both of us more than grateful to be getting some food that was actually eatable. As appose to our dad's 'cooking' which wasn't bad when he was grilling..but when he was actually trying to cook..he failed…epically.

I looked at my sister, " Do you have any details on our job?"

"Yeah, two boys. Ages 7 and 8.."

I frowned, "Boys?..Why Boys?"

"Sister?.." Charm seemed a little surprised..

"Sorry..I'm just hungry.." I glared off to the side.

"Well…try not to show it so much."

"..No promises." I sighed.

Not too long after we got our food and began to eat. While we ate, we grew closer and closer to the mission we where coming to face…Parenthood. I sighed, there was no way around it..sister and I were to look after two boys..Edward and Alphonse Elric. I kept on pondering as the train came to a stop, and sister and I looked up. "Stop one! Resembool!" The conductor yelled. "That's us." My sister sighed as we stood up to get our stuff. "Don't worry Beth. They'll like you..ya got a way with Kids." I nodded and grabbed my suitcase as we got off the train. I squinted, the sun was very bright, and the air felt more open than it had in eastern city. The sky was bluer, and the clouds were bigger. This was almost too real..but then I was it…two little blond boys standing no more than three feet in front of me.

"C-charm!" I yelped, dropping my luggage. "What now? Did ya see a bug or something Sparky?" "Oh shut up. It's not a bug. It's Assignments 1 and 2.."
