To you all you people that did review my last chapter, thank you. (hem, hem) You guys keep me writing! But seriously, can't you other people at least give me a "Good Job" or something? You know, we fanfiction writers really do appreciate people reviewing us! It gives us an indication of what we are doing wrong! Anyways, enough of my spazing enjoy!
And again, just a reminder, I wrote this fan fiction to seem like it took place in the very beginning of the series, back when Al and Ed knew very little about the stone, just that it could give them back what they lost.
This fan fiction, once again, is dedicated to my bestest anime friend Mary! She gave me the idea for this fiction, like for most of the ones I write, so thanks Mary!
Disclaimer: sigh If I owned FMA I would be the happiest person ever!
Chapter 3
Mia was trotting along up her winding, steep stone path to her massive front door, while Edward and Al held a hasty, whispered conversation behind her.
"Brother, do you really think that these are the people we came here for?" Al stole a glance at Mia, who at the moment was cuddling her cat, Kino-chan. "Who is my wittle-bitty fluff?" She was cooing, "Who is my nuzzle-wuzzle?"
"I really find it hard to believe that this girl is a criminal genius." He continued, "Not to mention she loves cats."
Edward was getting impatient, "Look, Al, I'm not saying for sure it was Mia that has the stone, maybe it's her father or mother or whatever. Besides, if it really WERE Mia, then why would she invite us to her house after when found out we were part of the military?"
"She wouldn't" Alphonse replied slowly, contemplating this.
"Exactly, which makes me think it IS Mia's parents that have the stone. But the real question I'm asking is why would Mia's father be interested in meeting us?"
"What makes you think he is Brother?"
"Because Al," Edward said exasperated, "Mia said so, back when we first met her? By the woods?"
"Oh yeah…."
The brothers hadn't noticed, because of their intent conversation, but they had reached the large marble porch by this time, and Mia was standing besides her door, looking curiously at them.
"What are you guys talking about so intently?" She yelled at them suddenly, startling the boys so bad that they tripped over the first step to the porch and ended up sprawled on the ground.
"Umm, well…." The Elrics tried to untangle themselves from each other. "We were discussing how beautiful your house… you are!" Alphonse burst out.
Ed sent a surprised look at Al, mixed with a look of pain. (The pain was mostly because al was still sitting on Ed's right leg, and it was starting to go numb) I've never heard Al say something like THAT before! What is going on here?
"Oh!" Mia looked extremely surprised, but nevertheless fluffed her hair and went "Oh, well aren't you sweet? But please, you don't have to fawn over me, there will be plenty of time for that later." She sent Alphonse a wink, which in turn caused him to blush fiercely.
Edward couldn't stand it anymore, "Al…." He wheezed painfully, "Could you maybe…? GET OFF!"
"I'm sorry brother!" And with a clank he jumped off of Edward and reached down and helped him up.
"Thanks." Ed reached down and rubbed his leg, it was still a little numb.
"Well, lets go in shall we?" Mia gave them a broad smile, and rung the doorbell.
"Hello?" A tentative male voice crackled out of the intercom, "Is that you Miss?"
"No! It's the Easter bunny early; you do like chocolates don't you? OF COURSE IT'S ME YOU HALF-WIT! IT WAS ME FIVE MINUTES AGO WHEN I RANG THE GATE BELL! SO LET ME IN IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE!"
Ed noticed that it was actually quite warm, but that seemed beside the point to Mia, so he kept quiet.
The heavy door creaked open, and Mia and the Elrics disappeared into the dark silence of Suchoki Manor.
You know, I'm starting to think I should maybe name the story. I know! Let's have a contest! Send me a name suggestion for this story in a REVIEW, not an email cause I don't answer my email from fanfiction, and if I choose your suggestion then I will (sound drumroll) Put your name somewhere in the upcoming chapters of this fiction! Oh yeah, if you don't have your name in you penname, then you should prolly put your real name in your review somewhere. Unless you want to put in a fake name, I really don't care. But I need a title! So hurry!
Luvs, Jenni
