The next day started out horrible for Allie, worst them the day of the humantransmutation. She sat outside the surgery room, flinches at the sound of her big sister's cries and small crashes from the surgery table. Allie wanted to be there for her sister, to make sure she was ok but Winry wouldn't let her. Not being able to bear it Allie took off outside to get some fresh air with Den, Winry's dog, close behind. She didn't go far though, following the dirt path that led to a small rive bank Allie saw on her way to the house. Allie took a seat on the sandy part of the river bank, drawing her legs against her chest and rested her chin on both knees. Den let out a yawn and laid down by Allie's feet. Laying a finger tip on the sand, she drew squiggles in the sand as her eyes were set on the river in front of her.

"It's a great place to relax huh?" Al's voice came out of no where making Allie nearly jump out her skin before she turned her head to see the young male walking towards her. The five year old said nothing as he sat down next to her.

"Winry said the surgery is done but Hailey's asleep." Alphonse replied softly, looking over at the girl who just nodded, eyes downcast, "You can still go see her though."

"I know. Thanks." Allie said softly, hands gripping at her pants tightly. Tears wanted to escape her eyes and sobs wanted to break but she just bit her lip, eyes closing tightly.

Al reached out a hand towards, "Allie..." recoiling a hand when she suddenly stood up, her bangs covering her eyes and any facial expressions.

"I'm getting her arm back." Allie replied as her voice wavered slightly, "not matter what it takes."

The bedroom door creaked open quietly, the hallway light sneaking into the once dark filled room. Allie closed the door and walked over to the bed that occupied Hailey's sleeping form. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, Allie carefully reached down and took her big sister's right hand in hers.

"You were brave, onee-chan." Allie whispered softly so she didn't wake the elder girl, "I would of been so scared and wet my pants." A small laugh. "You always try to be tough around me, protecting me...now it's my turn."

Allie gently squeezed Hailey's hand before reluctantly letting it go and walked over to her own bed. She new that sleep wasn't gonna come easy, it hasn't for some nights but she was gonna try.

The sun was back it the great blue sky, spreading light and warmth all through it's path. Allie was already up and making breakfast in the kitchen when the others woke up, catching them by surprise as they entered the kitchen.

"Aren't you a little too young to be cooking?" Edward asked as the young girl looked up from the food.

"I'm just putting peanut butter on a bagel." Allie said, gesturing towards said food, "I've done this for onee-chan before."

"And she let you do it?" Al asked as he took a seat near the dinning table.

Allie nodded, "She did after I wouldn't give in." Placing a bagel and some orange juice on a tray, Allie walked out of the room to the guest room.

Hailey woke up to the sound of the door creaking open and the smell of breakfast. Sitting up with a yawn, she stretched her right arm out before her eyes snapped opened again to the weight on something on her legs.

"Wow...Allie, did you make this?" Hailey asked the younger as she eyed the food quite hungrily.

"Yea." Allie replied with a small smile, "I would of made it better but I can't use a stove yet."

Hailey shook her head. "No, no I like what you make me! My appetite isn't really good yet so small meals like this is good." she reassured with a smile of her own before taking a bite of the bagel.

"Alright." Allie said softly before heading over to the clothes drawer they shared to fetch some clothes for the both of them.

"Didn't you have breakfast?" Hailey asked after swallowing the bite of bagel.

"No."

Hailey growled, "That's the 4th time you haven't eaten!" she said with an angry tone Allie never liked, "are you trying to starve yourself?"

"No, I'm just not hungry!" Allie shot back before letting out a sigh, "I got you something to wear. Do you want me too help you change?"

Hailey shook her head. "No, I can do that myself."

"Alright, if your sure." Grabbing her pair of clothes, Allie headed out towards the bathroom but shit the guest room's door as she left. As she got closer to the bathroom her stomach painfully growled but Allie ignored it, her sister's needs came before her's.
