Missing Peace

by Dark Maden

Sam did in fact come back with food, three times, and each time she was mute to their questions. On the second trip she also brought a first aid kit and gave it to Edward solemnly. Then finally.

"we're all out of TV dinners, but here are some raman noodles." She said handing them the bowls.

"she speaks!" said Edward now covered in bandages

"I'm sorry I was so rude it's just…"

"this girl in the picture, is she your sister?" Al asked sympathetically.

"yes…she's my twin sister Alex."

"so that's why you two look so much alike."

"hum ya we were so much alike. We couldn't ever play hide-and-go-seek together, we would always find each other right away. We even made up our own language pretty corny hue? My parents thought they were having boys and they already had our names picked out and weren't changing just 'cause we're girls. But now she's…she's not here anymore."

"what happened to her?"

"it's kinda-of a long story."

"we're good listeners."

"if I tell you my story will you tell me yours?" asked Sam

"an equivalent exchange."

"all right deal."

"sigh…it will be about five years since it happened." She had walked over to the desk and picked up Lucifer and put him on her shoulder "My family and I were visiting our grandma out in the country, it was our birthday and she always baked us a big cake." Sam then sat on her bed and the tan and white cat came over and curled up on her lap. "Alex and I were playing on a hill a ways away from our grandma's house. There was this big tree on the hill, it was half dead like it had been hit by lightning or something. Then there was this thing." She said standing up as the cat jumped down and rubbed Al's leg while he stood next to his brother.

"and then this light and then…nothing …just nothing next I knew I was in my dad's arms and everyone was asking were Alex was." Then Sam quickly went over to her bed and pulled the top mattress off and put it some what next to the bottom mattress. She lifted up the bottom mattress just a little and reached under it and pulled out a scrap of paper.

"I've never showed anyone this but I think you two might know what it means."

"what is it?"

"it was in my pocket when my family found me." and she handed Ed the crumpled scrap of paper. "there's a weird picture on it an-"

"this is part of a transmutation circle!" said Ed looking at the small part of a circle, it was just the upper corner but you could still tell it was a transmutation circle.

"a what?"

"it's how you perform alchemy by using a circle. I've never seen a circle like this one before."

"hey brother …maybe since I remember the gate …I could be able to do alchemy with out a circle now."

"maybe. Try it."

"all right" and Al clapped his hands together and put them on a chair that sat in front of the desk. Nothing happened, for a moment then there were bright blue light flashes and a loud crack sound. The cat that had been sitting beside him now ran away to the open closet, and Lucifer ran up Sam's hair to the top of her head and hissed at the strange light. Sam held a hand up to shade her eyes. When the light stopped instead of a chair it was now a very detailed throne like chair.

"whoa! How'd you do that! That was better than Angel guy!"

"that is the science of Alchemy."

"that can't be science… it goes against the law of conservation of energy! Energy can not be created or destroyed that's what we were taught. So where'd the Energy come from science man?"

"the Gate. That is what gives power to Alchemy."

"then were dose this Gate get the energy from." Edward opened his mouth to answer but Sam held her hand up to stop him, and put the other to her ear to listen. You could hear the loud gong of a grandfather clock on a lower level.

"Gasp!" and Sam looked over at an alarm clock that sat on her desk. It read eight-fifty-nine then changed to nine o'clock exactly.

"o no, she's not going to beat me tonight." She said as she took just one step to get to the desk , and she grabbed at a pink flip-phone cell-phone, with a sequence dragon-fly on it, and took it off the charger. She then opened it and began to press numbers.

"what is that?"

"cell-phone shoosh." She said as she placed it on her ear, and in-between the second and third ring someone picked up.

"AAHHH! You are such a cheater."

"nope just have fast fingers."

"cheater."

"come now don't be a sore loser Vee."

"fine Sam I'll be good."

"what kind of name is Vee?" asked Edward

"who's that? did someone just make fun of my name! IF THEY DID I'LL-RIP-THEIR-THROAT-OUT!" said a loud girl voice over the phone.

"don't make fun of her! Besides that's not her name any ways."

"Sam, is there someone there with you?"

"well a…um a…"

"Sam"

"well I kinda… sorta found some things in the timber today."

"not more rabbits."

"no think bigger and only two legs."

"PEOPLE! You found people in the woods!"

"um… yea two boys."

"OO are they cute?"

"I can't say they're standing right here." said Sam blushing.

"what are you ganna do with um you can't just turn them loss like everything else."

"I know. You want um?"

"hey! We're not merchandise here!" yelled Edward infuriated

"ha ha sounds tempting but there's enough testosterone in this house already."

"can't say I didn't try."

"hey Sam you still got that book you found at the library?"

"yea let me see. hold on a minute. Here hold this" she said handing the phone to AL as she looked for the book in her small black book-bag.

"hello?" Al said into the phone

"hey! Are you one of the boys Sam found! You sound familiar." said Vee excited

"AL! Don't talk to it."

"I am not an it! Your the punk who made fun of my name aren't you! you're just lucky I'm not there! I'd rip you a new one!"

"o yea you can't do anything "Vee". Ouch!" yelped Ed as a rather large book came crashing down on his head.

"I told you not to make fun of my friend! Vee is just a nick-name. It's not her fault her parents gave her a weird name." Said Sam as she took the phone back from Al and the book off Ed's head.

"thank you Sam."

"your welcome. I found the book it doesn't have a title but it dose have this cool picture on it. It's like a bunch of circles and shapes."

"circles and shapes? Can I see that book."

"sure" and she handed him the book

"this is an Alchemy book!"

"I thought you said you've never herd of Alchemy?"

"I hadn't. I haven't even started to read that yet."

"were there any more books like this were you found this one?"

"yea a whole bunch. Someone donated them to the library. There were even some hand written books too."

"can you take us to this library?"

"not right now. It's closed until tomorrow."

Depression and Groans

"Sam you there?"

"those books might have some information in them about how we can get back home."

"and maybe we can find the guy who donated them and question him."

"Heellloooo?"

"when dose the library open?"

"do du do dodo du do" Jeopardy song

"early at like seven thirty. Jeopardy will sue for unauthorized use of their theme song." She said the last part into her phone.

"let-um try BWHAHA! You ready for the test tomorrow Sam?"

"test? What test?"

"there's a Physical Science Test."

"that all! peace of cake."

"Aand a French prederate tense examine"

"WHAT! O no o no I didn't study. Crap, crap." Said Sam as she paced the room

"what's so hard about this French thing?"

"glare have you ever tried to learn a foreign language? it's not easy, especially with a terrible teacher."

"Amen!"

"ever tried learning Alchemy from a Psychotic teacher." Ed shot back

"uh-huh" Al agreed

"whatever fighting doesn't help. I NEED TO STUDY!"

growling of stomachs

"you two are still hungry! You already ate all the food I had!"

"it's not his fault. Just look at him." said Ed pointing towards Al

"fine I'll get some more. If I can find any." Said Sam as she headed for the door "so Vee what is Prederate tense again?"

"how should I know I'm not in French."

"WHAT! Then how did you know about the test?"

"Jacy told me about it."

"just great. But aren't you in one of Mrs. C's study halls?" she said as she closed the door behind her.

"that girl is a complete nut job."

"we should be grateful brother. She's given us kindness without even asking for anything in return."

"humph …I'm ganna take a look at this book." Said Ed taking the book off the desk.

"what dose it say?"

"it's just a beginners book of Alchemy. Nothing special." Said Ed flipping through the pages.

"she said that there were hand written books too. Think they'll have more information."

"don'no. if we could track down the guy who brought them we might be able to find out how to get home."

"but what I don't get is how there can be book about Alchemy when no one's heard of it here."

"maybe this guy traveled through the Gate too."

"OK so force divided by mass times acceleration equals Newton's second law. That's easy enough to remember, FMA not so hard." Sam said into her phone as she walk into the room while carrying two plates with what looked like beef stew.

"that doesn't sound like a foreign language."

"what? O-shoot, Vee I got to go, see you tomorrow at school Kay?"

"sure thing bye."

"bye." Click "Kay here you go, Great Granny's old home stew. Left-overs from tonight." She handed them the plates. And they cautiously took a bite.

"mmm this stuff is good!"

"it tastes like Aunt Pinako's stew."

"it's the milk that gives it that saucy taste."

"GLKK. MiLk"

"then it is just like Pinako's"

"do you two need any more food? We're about taped out."

"I couldn't eat another bite. You feed strangers pretty well." said Ed handing over his quickly emptied plate.

"well I couldn't just let you two wander around town. Besides, you wouldn't get far anyways." She said taking Al's plate. "I'll go put these dishes in the kitchen, then you guys can tell me your story like you promised." And she quickly went out the door.

"yawnnn"

"yawnn, jezz Al your maken me tired,"

"I'm sorry brother it's just so much has happened in just one day." Said Al going over and sitting on the original bottom mattress, as the cat followed.

"true." Said Ed sitting on the other mattress as he flipped through the alchemy book he had picked up.

five minutes later

"OK dishes are done now Story Time!" said Sam as she closed the door behind her. But when she came into her room she found that the boys she had found that day had fallen asleep. Alphonse, curled up on the first mattress, with the tan and white cat asleep next to his head. And Edward sprawled out on the other with the alchemy book still in his hand.

"ah…great. Hey no far wake up." And she "gently" kick his left leg with her foot.

"ouch! That hurt." nether of the brothers woke up from her little outburst.

"his leg really is made of metal hmm…" and she got an evil look in her eye.

"no I can't I have to study but, it would be so cool to see how his limbs work just like shop class maybe were they're from they have futuristic technology stuff. That would be so cool. No must study" and she quickly stepped away from Ed.

"Kay Lucifer time for bed." And she reached into her hair and pulled out the sleepy squirrel.

"no making a nest in my hair." And she put him on the second shelf of her book shelf, behind the row of books and he curled up in his nest and went back to sleep. Then turn her lamp on and the main light off.

"OK study time." And she grabbed a book out of her small book-bag and sat down in her new chair. "weird I'll ask them to change it back tomorrow." And she glanced over at her alarm clock, it read 11:06 "GROOOAN great"
