::Chapter 4! This new thing that seems to take you into space, rockets! Enjoy!::

"It you don't come when I count to three, I'm leaving without you."

Pulling her long blonde hair up in a ribbon, Elizabeth checked herself in her mirror once last time, as she started to hear her brother start to count. Running down the hall, she stopped in front of him, nodding she was ready. Being told you got until the count of three had been a thing he would always do to her when she was a young child and wanted to go somewhere with him. Looking down at his sister, Ben smiled at her and nodded back.

"Okay, let's go."

Opening the front door, Ben started down the porch steps, Elizabeth following behind him. Ben seemed to always walk more faster then her, most of the time it felt like she had to jog to keep up with him.

"I hope I didn't make you late." She said as she now stood beside him, now keeping at his pace.

"Nah, I don't think you have. Anyway, most of the time I have about fifteen or so minutes before I have to clock in."

Following Ben down the city streets passed people and shops, they soon stood in front of a very large building that sat in the middle of the city. Pushing open the door, Ben started down a long hallway that lead into the back of the building.

"Now, I'm going to worn you now, this room that I am taking to can be pretty loud, if you need to leave for any reason, I would understand."

Elizabeth nodded at him as she watched Ben open the door in front of them to a huge room with many people moving around. Sitting in the middle of the large room was a bunch of metal parts that look like it was being made into the body of the rocket. As her brother has said before he had opened the door, the room was very loud, sounds of people yelling and many machines adding parts to the metal body. Watching her brother start to walk to another part of the room, Elizabeth followed behind him, as he made his way to a group of other guys. Most of the young men looked to be about Ben's age or older. Intruding Elizabeth to all of them, he soon told her that he had to start work, but she could stay and look around all she wanted to. Watching her brother walk over to the large metal body, Elizabeth watched as the other men worked on it as well. It was really amazing that everyone in the room was excited about building this rocket and maybe just send it out into space. Elizabeth felt like she was in her own little world again as she watched everyone and listened to the sounds of everyone around her. She didn't know she was zoning out until she felt something hit her in the arm.

"Ops, so sorry, I need to watch where I am going."

Turning around she spotted a young boy that looked to be around her age or younger, he had short blonde hair and blue eyes. But as she looked at him more he looked like someone she had seen before.

"It's fine."

Watching him bending down to pick up a bunch of papers he and dropped, Elizabeth got down on her knees to help him.

"I must ask; do you have a brother? You look like someone I know."

She soon saw a grin come to the boy's face after she asked.

"No, ma'am, I get that a lot though. Many people say I look a lot like my room mate, Edward Elric. But the weird thing is, I don't have any brothers and I've only known Edward for three months now."

Nodding as he spoke to her, Elizabeth's eyes lit up when he spoke that he knew Edward.

"That who I thought you looked like. I met Edward about two weeks ago."

The boy's eyes lit up as well after she spoke.

"Oh! So you're Elizabeth! Ed has spoken so much about you. He should be around here somewhere if you are looking for him." The boy told her. "Oh, and I'm Alphonse, by the way."

"Well, it was nice meeting you." She told him with a smile.

"You as well, I'll see you around."

Once he had all his papers back up he walked past her to the other side of the room to a door. Getting back to her feet, Elizabeth dusted herself off some as she had been sitting on the floor. Looking back at everyone that was around her, her blue eyes soon spotted a short boy with long blonde hair tied back talking to a group of men. Putting her hands in the pockets of her skirt, she started to walk over to him but was soon stopped but a really tall man.

"Sorry, Miss; your not a loud to go by this point unless you have a work pass. It can be pretty dangeres."

Looking up at him Elizabeth nodded.

"Yes, sorry Sir."

As soon as she spoke, she saw Edward turn around, seeing her standing by the tall man, he started to walk over to them.

"Peter, she is with me. I told her to come by today so I could show her what I have been working on" Edward told the tall man. The man eyed him for a second and sighed.

"Alright, but don't have her around anything too dangerous, I don't think I could deal with sending anyone to the hospital today."

Nodding at him, Edward took hold on Elizabeth's arm and started to lead her over to where he had been.

"Lizzy, what are you doing here?"

Looking up into his gold color eyes, she cleared her throat before speaking.

"Ben works here and I asked if I could come by see what he had been working on. I didn't know you had been helping with the rocket as well."

Edward nodded at her.

"Well, science is the closest thing to alchemy around here." He winked at her after he spoke to her.

Laughing some after she heard what he said and saw his wink.

"So, what do you do around here?" She asked him as she watched him look at some papers he held in his hands.

"Well, mostly try to find out how to get this rocket that we are building to fly. So far we have an idea how to, but we have been doing a bunch of tests with it using small test rockets."

Nodding after he spoke, Elizabeth watched and listened to Edward talk to the other people around him. She didn't mind not doing much but watching and listening, it was kind of exciting to see what he did at work. As the hours past it started to get later in the day and Elizabeth did feel like she was starting to grow tried. She didn't know what time Edward really got off, but Ben had left hours ago. As the hours had pasted, she had made her way over to a chair not to far from where Edward worked. Her eyes slowly began to close as she waited.

"Lizzy."

She felt a gentle touch on her arm after she heard her name. Opening her eyes back up, seeing the faces of Edward and the boy she had met earlier, Alphonse standing in front of her.

"Sorry we really didn't get to talk today, but Alphonse thought it would be a good idea for you to come by our place for a bit. I could make us some tea if you want."

Stretching in her chair, Elizabeth whipped her eyes and yawned, looking back up at he faces in front of her, she nodded at Edward's offer. Getting to her feet, she still felt half way asleep, would she be able to make the walk to Edward and Alphonse's place? As she started to walk out of the building and down the street, she soon felt Edward link his arm with hers as he could tell that she still had the sleepy look in her eyes. When it felt like she had walked for miles, she soon opened her eyes up more when they stopped in front of a house. Once the door was open and the lights where switched on, Elizabeth felt like she had been snapped back to life for a moment. For a second there she kind of forgot where she was at.

"Would you like me to make you some tea? Or would you like to get some more sleep?"

Her sleepy blue looked up at Edward as he asked her want she wanted to do. She did want some tea, but she also still felt like she wanted more sleep, it felt like it had been a very long day.

"I think I want more sleep." She told him as she moved herself across the room until she found a large plush chair sitting in the corner. Resting herself in the chair it felt like it was only a second before she had passed out back into sleep.
