Well, this will be the first chapter in the original point of view I wanted to get out: Melissa's POV. I added a small description of how she looked like, but if you want more details, you can check out what I've written in my profile about her.

Unfortunately, this chapter isn't as long as I wanted it to be, so I'm making a goal of having at least 2,000 words per chapter...If I can make it.

The Japan EXPO ! _ Oh my god! One more week left till the 11th impact! I'm SO getting a autograph of Hiro Mashima of FairyTail!

Ahem, I do not own Full Metal Alchemist. If I did, Ed would of been married to Ran Fan-gets shot-

-Melissa-

I never knew that traveling was so hard.

As soon as I opened my eyes,I felt like someone had hit me repeatedly on my head saying,'Welcome back to reality lazy ass !'.

After the explanation of dear Alphonse about our current location,a good hit of a suitcase on Ed's head and more walking, including the entering of Lior City, we found ourselves escorted by a cute girl (around Edward's type) named Rose to where we'll be staying tonight. Thinking about tonight just after I fell asleep was suddenly dropping my mood and slowing down my walking.

Even with a slight bark of 'I'm not short' coming from Ed and him picking up speed to run after Rose didn't wake me up from my state of somberness.

Apparently, Rose had called Ed short. One of the most important rules of traveling with the Elrics: Don't call the elder Elric short. He might leave you in,let's say for example the desert from earlier. Yeah. Like that. All alone.

I was starting to regret not finishing my mission from Maes. I let out a small sigh,following reluctantly Edward chasing after her with Al by my side.

"Melissa?" My eye twitched as I heard his voice. I really didn't want to talk to anyone right now. I licked my lips and stared up at him with a placid look. Alphonse...hasn't really changed over the years, and I'm talking about being a soul trapped in a large armor that still creeped the hell out of me.

It wasn't that I didn't like him -Al was my brotha from anotha motha-, I really loved him so. It's just that...I still had a little difficulty getting used to seeing him, or his soul in such a situation. In a more vague way to say it, I always think I'm dreaming when seeing his condition or Ed's.

I pretended to cough before he continued. Being polite,he waited until he realized I started running after Edward towards a large church.

"Wait-Melissa!"

I silently apologized to Al before picking up speed. But the chase didn't end long, for I got tired easily and stopped. Al caught after me, silence installing since Ed had finally calmed down.

We had entered the church,finding ourselves in the interior while following Rose and looking around like little children. I squinted my eyes, because the light of the sun was gone and we were now walking in a corridor which was very lightly dimmed. Statues of fantastic creatures decorated the hallways, statues of lions and anything you could call intimidating and noble.

I couldn't see the expression of Edward's face, but I was sure he had a calculating look on his face, investigating everything his eyes fell on. For a second there, I'm sure he was looking at Rose's ass. In a more appropriate way, her silhouette.

Ah, youth!

I shot a look at Al, since other than our footsteps, he was the one making the most noise, but I couldn't blame him. I caught his attention, and smiled a sorry smile.

"I don't really feel like talking right now, but you can ask me what you wanted to say tomorrow,ok?" I whispered,also getting attention from Ed infront of us. His amber eyes met my green ones, and I quickly looked at the floor as a reflex.

"What are you two talking about?" he asked quite loudly. I glared up at him, or down at him. I was a few inches taller than him,he didn't even pass my cheek. Quickly, He returned the glare and grabbed Alphonse's arm,pulling him away from me and walking away.

This was going to be a long trip.

Several minutes later, Rose had presented our rooms: One for Ed and Al, the other for myself. Inside my own,I installed myself on the small bed given and released a long, aggravated sigh. It was already less than a day and I was so frustrated. Being around Ed and Al was shortening my temper, making me less calm than I was.

I rested my head in my palms. When I was mad, my breathing tended to quicken and my mind turn blurry. Just like it did to everyone, but I wasn't used to those symptoms. I wasn't a temper-person.

No wonder my state alchemist name had to do with my coldness.

Regaining my state of calmness, I removed myself from my bed and walked over to a door, entering it, I found a bathroom that would tend to what I need right now: a shower.

The bathroom and the room itself weren't the luxe I was accustomed to, now being a state alchemist, but it reminded me of where I came from...a bit.

I discarded my clothing and accessories: A skirt and long sleeved shirt with my cloak, all black, and my boots, also black. My goggles that hung around my neck, my gloves, everything.

I sent a look towards the large mirror that was near the toilet (who ever had the idea to put such a large mirror near a toilet was deranged in a way) seeing my reflection stare right back at me.

Even without my clothes, I could still feel the heat of my sun on my skin, which gave a good feeling of warmth. My reflection gave off the same grin that I had on right now, that seemed to brighten my features.

I directly faced the mirror, my grin never fading.

I was quite proud of my appearance, green-grayish eyes hidden behind dark bangs. Over the years I allowed my hair to grow, and was satisfied with the result seeing how long it has grown past my shoulders. My image gave me a feeling a nostalgia, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I shrugged the feeling away and entered the shower.

A/N: Hum, I was supposed to show her cool personality during this chapter. -FAILED-

Anyway, before all the goofy romance scenes and such, I'm trying to develop and really make her fit into the whole universe of Full Metal Alchemist so that I won't change the story. AGAIN.

Hope you enjoyed ! Please look forward to the next one.
