Hey peoplez! sorry for not updating in, like, forever. So, to make it up to you few people who read my story and actually like it, I'm going to try and update at least evey 2 weeks.
This probably won't happen because I get writers block very easily, and I get a crap-load of homework from my teachers skool.
damn skoolwork...

ANYWAYZZZ, I'm going to try and draw what my OC looks like and post it on DeviantArt, so look out for that soon. When I do that I'll post the link in one of my chapters.

Enjoy this long-ish chapter, because it's probably one of the longest ones you'll get! kidding! Enjoy anyway! :P


"Well, I know you work with Hughes in the Intelligence Department, but did you want to be anything more than that?" He questioned.
"Um... Since you've been teaching me Alchemy, I want to be a State Alchemist." I said, turning red.
"That's ok. Maybe, I can see if you can come on this mission with me. It's only a simple one, so I'll see if I can persuade The Bastard to let you come with me." Ed winked.
"You can? Really? That would be SO GREAT!" I said excitedly and hugged Ed.
Ed said goodnight and walked out the door, closing it behind him.

'Wow. Going on an actual mission with Ed!' I thought, lying in bed.
I fell asleep, thinking of what tomorrow would bring.


I sat on a bench at a train station with Ed and Al, rubbing my eyes.

"I hate getting trains this early..." I sighed.

The morning sky was still a night time blue and the air around us was still cold. I looked over to Edward, who was shivering slightly, and Al.
'I wonder what kind of mission we'll be going on?' I thought to myself as I shivered.

"Hey, Ed? When's the train getting here?" I asked as he stood.

"It should be here any minute." He said as Al got up and stood next to him.

Then, as if on que, a loud whistle peirced the cold air as the train pulled in to the station. The train puffed out smoke as we boarded and found our seats.
When I sat down, I could feel myself getting drowsy again as Edward sat next to me and Alphonse sat on the opposite seats.
Ed could see it was getting harder for me to keep my eyes open, so he moved over a little for me to lay down.

"You can go to sleep if you want, because we're going to be on this train for a long time." He said with a smile.

"Thank you." I murmered as I put my head on something warm.
I opened my eyes for a second, to see that I was resting on Edward's shoulder. But since I was too tired to do anything, I just let my eyes close again and drift off to sleep.


I felt someone shaking me, and telling me to wake up.

"Ungh... Go away." I moaned, waving my automail arm around and hitting something hard.

I found out, when I opened my eyes, that the hard thing I hit was Ed's head. He was sitting next to me, holding a large bump on his forehead and trying his hardest not to scream profanities.

"Ohmigosh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized and tried to look innocent enough, while inside my mind I was having a laughing fit.

"No, no, it's fine." Ed mumbled, rubbing the sore spot. "It's go down..."

I looked guilty and kept mumbling apologies, when Al finally spoke up.

"Anyway, I woke you up to tell you that we're nearly at Central." He stated.

Again, as if on que, the train pulled in to Central Station. The doors swung open as I gathered my things, and Ed did the same. We walked out on to the platform, when we were met by two people, a male and a female, in Military uniforms.

"Hey, Edward! Long time, no see, huh?" Said the male.

"Hey, Hughes. What are you doing here?" Ed replied, a confused smile on his face.

"We just wanted to welcome you back. Isn't that right, Schiezka?" Maes said, turning to the female.

"Yeah, I guess so..." She mumbled. When she looked at me, she perked up again.
"Alexia! I haven't seen you for a while." Schiezka nearly yelled, hugging me.

"Yeah, you too..." I replied and pushed her away, not being fond of hugs.

"Hello Hughes. How are you?" I asked, turning to the man and smiling.

"Great! I always am when I'm living with such beautiful girls as my wife and daughter!" Hughes exclaimed, dancing around like a weirdo.

"Okay then..." I said to myself, then turned to Edward. "Ed? Can we go now? Hughes is starting to creep me out..." I said, almost pleading.

"Yeah. Let's go Al." He said, pulling his brother with him.

Hughes must have noticed our leaving him, because I heard a distant call and it said he'll show us pictures. We all yelled out "OH NO!!!" and ran for our lives towards Central HQ.


When we got to the large front doors of the building, it was already noon.

"Oh crap! I'm late!" Ed yelled, ramming open the doors and zooming down the halls, leaving Alphonse and I at the front doors.

"Hey Al? Do you mind if you show me how to get to Colonel Mustang's office? Because it seems that Edward won't do it." I sighed.

"Sure." He said, chuckling at me.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!!" I yelled at him angrily, which just made him laugh even harder.

We walked down the long corridors, me growling and Al just laughing. As we walked, I made a mental note to try and keep track of where we were going.


When we got to Mustang's office, I silently thanked Al and knocked on the oak double-doors.

"Come in." Said a stern voice from inside.

I opened the doors and took a few steps inside, expecting to see them sitting and talking about something importent. Instead, Ed was leaning over Mustang's desk and yelling something at him that I couldn't make out. Something about 'short jokes'. And what was even weirder was that Mustang just sat there, taking everything Ed threw at him.

'Weird... When Hughes annoys the Colonel, he usually nearly snaps his fingers at the phone. But when Ed pisses off the Colonel, he doesn't do anything.' I thought to myself, as Mustang said something and Ed quickly sat down.

I sat down across from Ed on the opposite couch, as Mustang started speaking.

"Fullmetal, you have a new assignment. It won't take you too long, so you don't have to take your brother with you." He stated.

"Mustang? Before you start boring us with your long-winded explination of my mission, can I ask a favour of you?" Ed cut in, making Mustang stare at him.

"What is it?" Mustang asked, looking from Ed, to me, and back.

"I want to know if she," Ed motioned to me, "Can come on this assignment with me." He said.

Everything in the room went dead quiet. Ed silently dared Mustang to say yes, while he thought of what his answer should be. Suddenly, Mustang got up from behind his desk, came over and stood right in front of me. I looked up, feeling nervous, to see him looking straight into my eyes. It was kinda freaking me out.

"What is your name?" Mustang asked flatly.

"M-my name is Alexia Dawn, C-colonel Mustang sir." I answered, trying to sound confident but failing miserably at it.

"Are you any good at fighting or Alchemy?" He asked, again, flatly.

"I'm a decent fighter, and I'm getting better with my Alchemy." I said, looking behind Mustang to Edward, who was smiling.

"And why do you want to go on this mission with Fullmetal?" He asked, turning around to sit back at his desk.

"I want to go on this mission with Edward," I put emphasis on Edward's name, seeing as Mustang never called him by his name, "Because I now know that I'd like to be a State Alchemist." I said, sounding more and more confident.

"I see..." Mustang pondered on the thought. "Well, I see this is now a two-person mission. Listen carefully, and I'll explain what you have to do..."


"So, all we have to do is visit this town and report back if we find anything suspicious?" I asked as we walked down the corridor.

"Basicly... Yeah." Edward said, walking ahead of me to talk to Al.

Ed and Al started talking as I stood there, thinking about how stupid this mission is. I also started thinking about what COULD happen and what might happen.

'What if we do find something? I wonder what it could be?' I thought for a while.

I must've been thinking longer than I thought I was, because a hand started waving in front of my face and I heard someone say "I think she's broken...". That's when I immediately chucked a spaz.

"I'M NOT BROKEN! I WAS JUST THINKING! HOW CAN A HUMAN BREAK, ANYWAY!?!" I screamed, gaining the attention of everyone around me, and people in offices looked out the doors at me. I looked around at the people and ran away, blushing, as fast as I could.

I had no idea where I was running, all I knew was that I had to get out of there, and fast. But I was so concentrated on running that I lost track of where I was going, and ended up lost.

"Oh no, I was so embarrased that I lost my way." I said to myself. "Why is this place so damn big?"

"Maybe because it has to fit a lot of people in it." Came a voice from behind me.

I turned around to see that it was Lieutenant Hawkeye. She was smiling at me, which she doesn't normally do.

"Are you lost?" She asked calmly.

"Yeah, just a little." I said sarcasticlly. "Can you please help me find the front of this place?"

"Sure, no problem." She said and started to walk away. I started following her, thinking about how stupid of me it was running away and getting lost in the depths of Central HQ.


Hawkeye and I arrived at the large front doors of the building, talking between ourselves. Ed came up to me and said something, but I was listening to Lieutenant Hawkeye, so I didn't hear it.

"Come on, Alexia. The train we need to catch leaves in half an hour and we still need to get our stuff." Ed said, already walking back down the steps.

"Where are you going?" Hawkeye asked.

"We're going on an assignment, now come on!" Edward yelled back, even though the question was intended for me.

"So, you're going on your first mission. Good for you." Hawkeye said to me, smiling.

"Thanks again for helping me out. I'll see you later." I replied, waving back to her as I walked down the steps.

"Take care of yourself and Edward!" She yelled to us as we ran down the road, hoping we could still get to our train.
