Thank you to anyone who put this story on alert or reviewed! It made me very happy (=^_^=). I know that I take a long time to post and I honestly don't have an excuse, I'm just really lazy..(—.—) this chapter's short but it's because I different situation is coming up, and I will put that in another chapter. Like said before I am not all that creative so bear with me!

the ghost in your bedroom, bakechan

"Take her with us?" Edward asked, "Al you know we can't do that. We're trying to get our bodies back, Colonel Mustang just gave us a new mission, which means we're going to run the risk of getting killed like always. And this kid here" he pointed to me and I flinched. Edward Elric sure was intimidation for a person of his height. "Has no defense! She'll die quickly. We can't take her Al, she's not a stray cat."

There was silence again, "But Brother. We can't leave her there on the steps, she has no where to go!" Alphonse argued.

Edward turned to look at me, I was holding tight to Alphonse's metal arm. The boys golden eyes were hard at first but began to soften. "Can't we take her to an orphanage, or put her on someone else's door step?" He shook his head and mumbled something to himself. "I'm sure if we took her to the Major he'd find her a nice home, maybe he'd take her in, he's loaded with money." Edward seemed to be talking more to himself that anybody else.

As Edward continued to ramble, suddenly the door of the so called colonel Mustang rushed open, nearly knocking over Edward. At the door stood a handsome man with black hair, and dark eyes. He wore the same blue uniform the two ladies before had, and on his hands he wore white gloves on the right which had a strange red circle drawn on it. I instantly knew this was the Colonel.

"What are you trying to do? Who busts out like that?" Edward yelled fists ready to throw a punch.

"What are you still doing here Fullmetal?" the man asked.

"What are you doing?" Edward asked, rubbing the back of his head..

"I'm taking advantage that the lieutenant is out to go and hide, because she's bound to come back with more work for me."

The man glanced at me and smiled. I blushed and hid behind Alphonse.

"Won't that mean you just have to do it later anyways, and probably more too." Alphonse inquired.

"Not if I hide long enough!" the colonel yelled as he ran down the hall.

Alphonse turned back to Edward, "Brother," he pleaded, "We can't just leave her."

Edward sighed and looked down at me kneeling down on one knee.

"How much do you know about yourself?" he asked and I grabbed tighter onto Alphonse.

"A man with a mask brought me here, from somewhere in the forest. He didn't tell me anything but that here I'd find my home. Before that I don't remember anything."

"So, no name huh" I nodded, "well we have to call you by some thing." Edward smiled and I felt my self blush deeply. "We need to give you a name," he stood up and patted my head. I felt my cheek burn if even possible.

"What would you like to be called?"Alphonse asked me.

"I don't know" I replied I felt a lot more confident talking to Alphonse than I did with Edward.

"She looks like a Bethany to me" the lieutenant had returned, and in her arms were filled with more papers than before "or maybe a Natalie."

"your are back lieutenant I exclaim abruptly..

"Yes and I've got some papers for the colonel, but I doubt that he is still at his desk." The blood woman sighed.

"He left while a go," Edward was quick to explain.

"So, what named would you like?" Alphonse whispered

"Well" I smiled "I like the lieutenant's idea of Natalie"

Alphonse chuckled "Natalie it is."

The lieutenant left to find the colonel, and we al walk out of the larg tall building

"I guess she will have to stay with us until—" Edward stopped mid sentence, when he saw saw a small balk dog climbing up the steps. "Isn't the lieutenant's dog?"

"Yeah, it's Black Hayate. Why?" Alphonse waved to the dog, and the dog barked back as a greeting.

"Maybe she'll take Natalie in too!" Edward exclaimed, and waited for a response.

Alphonse stayed quiet and I did too. I wouldn't really mind staying with lieutenant. She seemed like a wonderful and kind person. Plus she had a really cute dog. But of course I didn't know the lieutenants situation. Maybe she had a house full of dogs and had no room for me.

"I doubt she could take Natalie in," Alphonse finally spoke. "She had so much work already and she's practically already watching over someone else" Edward and Alphonse laughed at the later.

"True." Edward replied. He patted my head and if I was a dog, my tail would have been wagging.

Okay a brief explanation of this story:

If all goes well, this story will continue in three books. Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood. All taking place in a different world (other manga series). Please continue reading! And review if you wish. btw the last sentence came to mind while i was watching my dogs.
