Author's Note:

Of course, I don't own Full Metal Alchemist. If I did, things would be really crazy.

But my little Memarie is mine- you know this, because she is crazy.

LOSGAP =D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found out something about Ed Elric I could have lived without ever knowing.

The boy eats like a starving animal.

I quietly push my plate away, losing my appetite as he inhales what must be his seventh serving. Without a word, Ed snatches up my plate and continues his chicken massacre while I look on in disgust.

"I don't understand why you're so small when you eat so much." I say, frowning at him thoughtfully and, as expected, a vein throbs on his forehead.

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SMALL?!" Ed shrieks, dropping his fork.

"You."

"WELL STOP!"

"Why?"

"BECAUSE I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Oh, really?"

"REALLY!"

"I'm sure you will."

Ed glares at me, and I glare back, sitting back at the table and looking around the cafeteria, wondering how long we're going to be stuck here at Central.

"Don't see why we have to drag you along anyway." Ed scowls. "Because you'll probably die without me." I say smugly and he twitches a bit but for once doesn't offer a retort, concentrating on inhaling the last bit of his food.

As he stands up, in a bit of a huff, to go throw his remains away I stop him. "Ed."

"Ugh, what now?"

"You didn't drink your milk."

"Of course I didn't. It tastes like vomit."

"Ed, as your doctor I order you to drink it."

"Make me!"

I stand up and see Al shrink away from me. "Ed, maybe you should do as she says…"

"Or what?" Ed smirks as I calmly pick up his milk bottle and stroll up to him. "This can't be good." Al groans, hiding his face in his hands.

Ed takes one look at my dangerous expression and makes a break for it. I leap after him, unscrewing the milk cap as I attack him with a vise-like grip around his neck.

"Aw, big bad Full Metal Pipsqueak can't get away from the girl?" I smirk, pulling back his shirt and dumping the milk down his back.

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

I drop Ed as he squirms and shrieks, wriggling around in his now very damp shirt.

"Next time I catch you with a full bottle of milk, it's going down your pants."

"…you wouldn't."

"I think I've already proved I will."

"You're sick lady!"

"And you're short, so we're even."

Ed cries out with frustration, tearing at his hair and I wonder briefly if I'm going to drive him insane.

OOO

"Wow. This is quiet." I comment as Ed and I stroll along in silence, Al a large shield in between us.

"I don't mind the quiet, as long as you two aren't fighting." Al says, his voice edged with fatigue and exasperation.

"Hey, I never start them." I say, holding up my auto mail hands in innocence.

"You sure do finish them." Ed grumbles, still sore about the milk incident, occasionally rubbing his neck and giving me a death glare from time to time.

"Hey, I'm a fighter. I like fighting, and I'm good at it." I shrug. "Doctors fight?" Al questions, turning his head to look at me and I smile wryly. "Not all can. I've trained a lot, that's all." I say, extending an arm above my head and flexing it.

"Who did your auto mail?" Ed asks and I look over. "Oh, these two really great people up in Resembool- Winry and Pinako, maybe you've heard of them?"

Ed and Al come to a dead halt as I continue walking a bit, then stop and look back at them. "What?"

"We used to live in Resembool!" Al exclaims. "Yeah, Winry and Pinako did my auto mail too." Ed says in surprise. "Really? Cool." I blink, a bit surprised that we had the same mechanics. "I don't remember you from Resembool though, did you live there?" Ed asks as we resume walking and I fall into step beside him.

"No, but after the accident they were the closest mechanics." I explain. "I lived back in that dirt-town you found me at."

"When was this accident?" Al asks curiously. "Three years ago." I reply, slipping my hands into my pockets as I look up at the stars above.

"Well that was a year after I got my auto mail, so no wonder Winry never mentioned you." Ed says, though he looks a bit confused. "Still, she would have mentioned another customer who bought auto mail."

"I bet they've had a lot of customers Ed, Winry and Pinako are really great at their job." I say, seeing the Central building looming up ahead.

We'd all gotten a bit fidgety waiting around in Central, and I finally suggested we just take a walk and clear our heads after dinner earlier that night- we had mostly just wandered around town, talking occasionally like we were now.

"Yeah, probably." Ed shrugs. "I'm still the best auto mail they've ever done though." He adds and I roll my eyes. "Mine's tailored just for me, so mine is more special."

"Hey! She had to make mine just for me too!"

"Yeah, but I'm more special then you."

Al groans as Ed and I start bickering again, rolling his eyes skyward. "Will you two ever stop fighting?" He demands.

"No, probably not." I reply.

A/N:

I actually have no clue if Winry and Pinako have ever sold auto mail to anyone but Ed- even if they haven't though, it still ties into the plot. In a way. Bwahaha.

OOO

Later that night I sit quietly on my bed, frowning thoughtfully into the darkness as I reflect on the two Elric boys, their faces flashing through my mind as I try to analyze what I think of them.

That Alphonse… he's got a pure, kind soul. He and his brother must have been through terrible things in order for him to lose his body, but somehow he is completely untainted by it- he's strong, maybe stronger then I.

I run a hand through my hair, staring up at the ceiling as I lie back down, my head resting back on the cold, unforgiving auto mail as I think about Edward.

He acts like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders- I get the feeling he believes he's responsible for what happened to Al, but Al never blames him… those two are impossible to figure out.

I wiped a cool metal hand down my face, annoyed that I couldn't figure them out. I roll over and look out the window at the sky, blinking up at the full moon.

I wonder when our first mission will be. Definitely will be interesting, that's for sure.

OOO

Author's Note:

Yes, it's a filler, don't eat me!

Writer's block is evil T_T

I'd appreciate any suggestions for their first mission- I don't any of the town names or anything like that, so even a few made-up names would be really helpful!

I'm overly dependent on you guys, aren't I? XD

Well, please review! See you guys next time! :D

LOSGAP =D
