Me: ...can...I speak?

Choco-Neko-Chan: Yes..

Me: Yay! Okay...sorry my chapters are lame.. they take up more room on Word than on here... sorry..

Choco-Neko-Chan: So that's why your chapters are always short?

Me: Yes ._.

Choco-Neko-Chan: Okay... well anyways, she doesn't own Fullmetal Alchemist!

Me: Though I wish I did cause then Ed and Winry would've kissed! *About to go on fangirl rampage*

Choco-Neko-Chan: ._. ... UMH Yeah! Roll the chapter while I take care of this! AH!


The next week it was time to go to Central so we were packing to get on the train.

"Mom, you'll be okay making automail alone right?" Edwin asked giving her a hug.

She smiled, "You've got to do this right? I'll be fine." Mom said smiling.

"You better be." Dad said smiling.

He kissed her on the cheek and smiled. I stuck out my tongue and rolled my eyes.

I grabbed my bags, "A sappy moment!" I yelled as I ran out the door.

Dad shrugged, "I have no clue where she gets it from."

Mom hit him in the back of the head. Then Edwin, Alphonse, and Dad walked out the door.

Once we were on the train, Dad pulled a small box out of his trunk. I stared at him trying to figure out what he was doing.

"Alice." He said gently.

I jolted up and stared at him. "Yeah Dad?"

He smiled and pulled out a necklace with the alchemic cross symbol hanging from a chain.

My eyes light up, "Whoa…what are you going to do with that?"

He placed the chain around my neck and clipped it in the back.

"You'll need to use it sometime." He said with a smile.

I hugged him and then leaned back in my chair.

Soon after that I fell asleep.

I looked around and there was black sea of nothingness. I was standing in blood up to my ankles. I jumped at the sight and almost fell face first into it. I caught my balance before I could do so.

"You're just like your father aren't you?" A voice said.

I turned and looked around "Who's there!"

"No need to be scared, I promise I won't harm you." It said.

"Hey, I'm not that much like my dad." I said.

"You're more like him than you think."

"I look like him and I act sorta like him. But I'm also a girl too, I'm not him." I insisted.

"Child, you don't know much about your father's past, do you?" It asked.

"Well, I found out more here recently, he and Uncle Al committed the alchemic taboo, and he was a State Alchemist." I said.

The voice grew louder…or closer. "Do you know what a homunculus is?"

I slung my head down, "No I don't." I replied shaking my head.

"They don't exist anymore, child, but they'll play a big part in your life soon." It said even louder.

"How would they do that if they don't exist?" I asked.

"Because of your father's past with them…" It replied.

"But I'm not him! I'm Alice Elric! Not Edward Elric!" I demanded.

I looked down and saw a reflection in the blood, it was my dad, but younger, around my age. I jumped back and took a breath.

"You're trying to scare me! I don't have automail, I didn't commit the taboo!" I insisted.

I then fell over into the blood, my left leg was gone. I looked at my right arm…it was automail. My pupils shrunk and tears ran down my face.

"Who are you now child?" The voice asked at its loudest.

I looked at the reflection one more time. It was still a younger version of my dad. I continued to cry and I sighed. "Edward Elric."

My eyes shot open and tears ran down my face.

"Alice?" Dad asked.

I put my face in my palms and continued to cry.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

I jumped across the seat into his arms and continued crying. I then pulled my head up to his shoulder. "You have to tell me everything." I whispered quietly in his ear.

Dad flinched, a little shocked. I pulled away and sat silent. He stared me right in the eyes. I smiled and then looked out the window, pretending nothing happened.

We made it to Central finally. There to greet us was a bald man with huge muscles. He looked a bit…no really weird.

Dad raised his arm up and smiled, "Yo Armstrong."

The man smiled. "Edward you can call me Alex you're not in the military anymore."

Dad looked at him funny, "That's difficult, and way to weird."

Armstrong smiled and looked at Uncle Al, "What about you Alphonse?"

"I'll stick to calling you Armstrong too." He replied.

I was hiding behind Dad, because this guy was freakishly tall and scared the hell out of me. Edwin was a little bit behind Uncle Al, but trying not to show fear.

"Who are the short ones behind you?" Armstrong asked.

"Hey I'm not short!" Edwin and I yelled.

"These yours Edward?"

Dad rubbed the back of his head, "Yup, and always will be." Dad paused, "Um, Why isn't Mustang here?"

"On his way here he stopped at Hughes's grave." Armstrong said.

Dad gazed down at the floor.

"Hughes?" I asked.

Dad glared at me, "Why are you always so damn curious about everything?"

I didn't want Dad to yell at me like he did a few days ago. "I'm sorry." I replied shooting my head down and locking my jaw shut.

Dad paused and gave me a "what the hell" look while Edwin glanced at me with concern.

"Well come with me everyone." Armstrong said.

Then we headed to a hotel. I ran in the door of our room and ran to the window. I leaned in the window sill and smiled.

"Not bad." I muttered making a fist with my hand; I heard a metal sound and looked down. I saw my right arm was automail. My pupils shrunk. I panicked and flailed my arm up and down.

Dad and everyone else soon walked in after me, "Alice, why are you flailing your arm around?" Dad asked.

I looked at my arm and it was normal. I breathed heavily and shook my head. I then caught my breath, "T-There was a spider on my arm."

Edwin gave me a look, "But you love spiders."

I glared at him, "Maybe I don't like that kind." I growled.

Edwin put up his arms, "Okay, okay," He began, then slid towards me and placed a hand on my head, "But later you're gonna tell me what's really bothering you."

I scrunched up my face trying not to let tears pour out of my eyes. I heard the metal sound again and flinched. I gasped and took a breath because I realized that Dad's automail had made that sound.

"Why are you so jumpy at the sound of automail?" Dad asked giving me a "what?" look.

I shook my head, "It's nothing, really."

"Yeah, you should be really used to that sound." Edwin pried.

I balled my hands into a fist, "It's nothing alright!" I insisted and stormed into the hallway.

"Sorry Armstrong, she usually doesn't act like this. Something's been bothering her sense we left Risembool." I heard Dad say.

I huffed and crossed my arms.

"She's a teenage girl, Edward; you should've known she would be like this at some point." Armstrong replied.

"I should go ask Gracia for advice." Dad laughed

"When was the last time you saw the Hughes family?" Armstrong asked.

"About 8 years ago I guess." He replied.

"You need to pay them a visit don't you?" Armstrong said.

I moaned and slid down on the wall. "Great, now we're gonna go visit people I don't even know."

Dad and everyone else walked out the door. Edwin stuck his hand out for me to take. I paused and glanced at him. He just stood there smiling and waiting. I smiled then took his hand and he helped me up.

"We're going to the Hughes's." Dad said.
