C.A. 14

So sorry people I've been out forever and I know a lot of you have been waiting for this.

Now that I look back at this story I wish I could start over but I'm not and just gonna go with the original plot and all the stuff and start a new one later.

Okay FMA does not belong to me, not yet.

--

Grinning from ear to ear Ellen lifted a few apples into her hand and dropped it into the basket she was carrying. Her blonde hair was let down so she didn't resemble the grumbling blonde beside her so much and the red sundress helped with that matter as well.

"El are we almost done?" Ed asked a bit impatient, he'd been forced to come along while Al went to pick up a book they'd put on hold some time earlier.

"Uh huh, I just want to grab one more thing okay." She was a good younger sister and despite her being on her own for so long and immensely childish a very smart person, but what else would anyone expect from an Elric. "Hey Ed, can I ask you a question?"

Curious he lifted a brow and nodded his head to give her the okay. "Sure."

"Do you hate me?" she inquired casually just like if she were asking him to pass the salt.

"Of course not why even bother asking?"

"I'm his daughter, and his reasons…aren't exactly what you think. I know the story I told the military seemed like the truth but it was a lie and I didn't want them to know for some reason I guess." Ellen shrugged at the last part, she really didn't know why she didn't just come out with the truth. Probably because, like Al, part of her wanted to believe Hohenheim was a good man.

"Well than what's the truth?" he stopped walking and looked at the back of her head hands shoved in his pockets looking at her quizzically.

Turning there was a smile on her face her slightly darker skin glistening in the sun almost innocently, he almost wanted to smile back but he knew she was distracting him, What was it with this girl.

First she walks into their life, more like waltzes, than she's setting him up on dates, and laughing with them like she's always been there. How did she just fit herself in his life like that, was it just a natural reaction, were all those doubts being proved wrong? Maybe.

"Well?" he asked again.

Parting her lips to speak up she was interrupted by a hello from behind Edward that happened to be another blonde a cigarette hanging loosely from his lips, Jean Havoc.

"Guess you two are getting along, nice to know, especially with your temper ay Ed?" he chuckled and let his gaze fall on the other blonde. "Nice to see you again Ellen, better that it's on nicer terms huh?"

El's gaze had moved away and she was blushing very, very softly apparently rearranging the contents of her basket. "Uh huh, n-nice."

Havoc was a bit, confused about Ellen's very subtle reaction and turned to Ed in curiosity, "Did I say something wrong?"

Ed was being observant and saw what was going on, he smirked. "Oh no Havoc, I think you said something completely right.

'Got you know sis'

"So how bout that date tonight Edward, gonna get hot with the Colonel."

"W-what!? You know it's not like that I'm only doing it to get the answer out of that little kid right there!" he growled back making a bit of a scene in the streets, when the citizens saw it was only Fullmetal they promptly ignored it, used to it.

Grinning Havoc lowered his voice and bent low. "If I didn't know better I'd say you want that date, cause the Edward I know would have just beat it out of her or found other means of getting his answers." And before Ed could even try to retort Havoc had straightened and turned away.

"Later Ellen…Edward."

Five minutes later Edward was fuming staring at where the man had once stood was only snapped out of it when El responded with an extremely late.

"Bye!" when people stared she just flushed the same color as her dress and moved closer to her brother. "Ed?"

"That bastard, damn him! He's dead!" but before he could march off El caught his arm and pulled.

"Oh hush you can't blame him for the truth."

"What the hell? I never wanted to date that egotistical colonel!"

She sighed and just dragged him in the opposite direction of the other soldiers exit. Unfortunately El didn't get far until she felt Ed's automail grab her arm and pull her to face him.

"Speaking of truth, how about you, you've got a thing for Havoc huh?" he was grinning now and Ellen froze under his identical gaze.

"I-I .."

"Come on El don't lie to your big brother, you like him."

"No."

"Liar."

"No."

"Than explain the blush."

And she was blushing which only weakened her defense.

"No."

"What happened to truth?"

"I'll only admit the truth when you do, you hypocrite!" she snatched her arm away and glared at him beginning to walk again.

"You're gonna be waitin a pretty long time than." He chuckled putting both of his hands behind his head and following behind the other blonde with a grin.

"Only until 7:30 Ed, only till than." She muttered biting into one of the apples she'd bought earlier.

Later--

"Not bad brother."

"Shuddup."

"But-"

"Shuddup."

"I…"

"Shuddup!"

"Al let him he's just nervous."

Ed was standing against the wall reading a book and casually tapping his left foot. The outfit worked for him obviously and Al was only trying to lift his brother's spirits. He'd gotten back from market in a pretty good mood but once about six o'clock hit he became completely aggravated with everyone and everything.

"I am not nervous I'm upset."

"Don't worry Ed I'm sure he'll love your look and you have a wonderful personality."

"I'm not nervous."

"You also got the whole height thing going on, it's so cute." She just continued to ignore him and continued sketching down in her notebook stealing glances at Ed every so often.

"Ellen you're really good." Al was looking over her shoulder while she drew and felt herself become a little embarrassed.

"Thanks all the circle drawing got boring so I put my time into other stuff too, you know." She grinned lifted to book up to show Ed. "You can come now, what do you think."

Relaxing from his pose he moved over to look at the paper and smirked. "Couldn't catch that real me, but … it'll do."

"Jerk,"

"So," Ed started, "What else you got in here?" he questioned snatching the book from her hands.

"H-hey! That's private!"

"Really, ohoho looky here Al, it's Havoc and what's he got here- hey. Ow! Come on … EL!"

She was beating him somewhat hard and eventually he let go of the book but she didn't stop there and only stopped when the doorbell rang and Al was at it.

"Brother, he's here."

"Yes!"

Ed just groaned while El jumped around in excitement.

--

Okay so there you go, I'm back! Ahaha

So tell me this are you okay with this couple for El or should poor Havoc be left out of this?

Don't forget to review ! buh bye
