Hey guys! Sorry if this chapter seems a little rushed, but it had to be. My little bro's birthday is tomorrow, and I don't have a present! . Yes I'm a bad big sister, I know.

On a side note, you reviewers are violent! Zilo Sugarpill wants to pick up a chair and throw it at Aurora AND put a frying pan to her face. Cinnamon H3art swore that if she messes around with Royai, she will jump in to the land of fanfiction and murder Aurora. I think Kallyso had the best threat though. She said that she wanted to shoot Aurora. She then changed her mind and then decided that she wanted to mutilate her body with a blunt letter opener and burn the remains. O-O.

If you think she's bad now… just wait. MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

We made it onto the train to Nural with minutes to spare. I stooped over in the hallway, doubled over and panting for breath. I'm not the greatest athlete around…

"Miss Jackie?" Al called. He stood waiting for me at the end of the hall. I straightened up and followed him.

A few minutes later, I was sitting on a bench in the train, looking outside at the sun. "That's a pretty sunset." I commented to Al, who had been deserted by Ed and Aurora when they went to read alchemy books together.

"Yes. Do you like them?"

"Not really, but my friend Rachel does." I answered. "She's always going on about "the beauty of nature" or some other crap like that. She's my best friend though."

"Where is she now?"

I stopped smiling. "Back home." I answered, in a strict monotone. I was missing her already.

Thankfully Al didn't notice my change in expression. "Do you have a lot of friends back there?" He asked.

"Not really." I replied. "I've always been too reserved to have a lot of friends. I don't really like the spotlight. I remember," I said, laughing, " , that my parents always had a hard time with birthday parties for me when I was little, because I had about two friends, and that was it."

Al laughed, and then silence reigned in the room. To break the ice, I asked, "Al… who is the Silver Rose alchemist?" I had to find out if I had somehow brought her into this world.

"I don't know." He answered. "I would think that brother and I would have heard about her before, being the youngest state alchemist after brother. But I've never heard of her." He frowned, or as much as he could frown in a suit of armor. "I wonder why."

I however, knew exactly why. Somehow, I had brought Aurora to life when the lightning struck me. Maybe… oh crap, the transmutation circle! I had drawn it on the same piece of paper that I drew the profile for Aurora! And now…

Al brought me back to the real world. "Um... Miss Jackie, if you don't mind me asking… why are you looking for the stone?"

CRAP! I didn't think of a lie to that one! What do I do?! What do I do?! I could… I could blow Al off... but he's too sweet! Um…

"Well…" I started, "Um, I have to... it's for me-medical purposes! Uh, yeah! I have to use it to-to fix the flu that's been going around my town!" That's it girl, lie like the wind!

"Oh. Which town do you come from?"

"Uh… Resem…cen..liore? Yeah, uh, Resemcenliore!"

It was impossible for me to tell whether Al was convinced or not, in his armor. He didn't ask again though. We chatted for a few more minutes, and then I grew sleepy, and my eyelids shut of their own.
