Ok. I realize that I haven't updated in three months...I have no good excuse to provide except for the fact that I simply forgot...I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE DON'T BE SUPER ANGRY!...ok I'm done now. On with the long awaited update.
Sarah heard voices in the background, causing her to open her eyes. She squinted in the bright light for a moment before looking around at a room that seemed familiar yet unrecognized. Wasn't she just with Roy and Havoc though?
"Well, looks like you're awake. So you're one of the girls who came through the gate. I don't know why she wants you though. You don't look like anything special to me." A voice rang out from her left. Sarah turned her head and what she saw made her eyes grow. Standing there in front of her was Greed. Suddenly, everything clicked. She was in the Devil's Nest. Had the Homunculi captured her? Where was Katie? Were Roy, Havoc, and the others alright? Greed chuckled as he watched the girl's eyes grow in fear. "Yes, be afraid, you have every right. Now let's find out what makes you so special shall we?" He bent down and grabbed Sarah by the shoulders, slamming her into the wall. The way he looked at her made her shriek in absolute terror.
Sarah shot up in bed screaming bloody murder as she saw another room she didn't recognize. The door to the room slammed open, revealing a certain Colonel who had on no shirt. He ran to her side.
"Sarah, Sarah calm down. It's alright. It was just a nightmare." He cooed to her as he cradled her to his bare, muscular chest. After a few minutes, Sarah calmed down and pulled back slightly, looking up at Roy. She noticed that he wasn't wearing his gloves since his bare hands were touch her arms and back. As they gazed into the other's eyes, she became transfixed with his as he had with hers. Without either of them realizing it, they were leaning forward, their eyes sliding closed.
CRASH!
"Roy! I'm going to CASTRATE you!" An angry red blur shouted as she tackled Roy to the ground. He pushed Katie off of him before sliding on his gloves.
"Katie calm down." He said, attempting to reason with the raging female in front of him.
"No way in HELL buddy!" she screamed before clapping her hands together and pressing them to the wall, creating two blades with alchemy. She yelled before lunging towards Roy.
"Katie, cut it out!" Ed yelled, rushing into the room, Al right behind him.
"Katie, please listen to brother. Being angry will not help in this situation."
"For once, I agree with the shrimp. Just calm down brat and I won't have to hurt you." Roy smirked as he dodged another swing.
"Who are you calling short enough to do a tap dance on a mouse's head? Kick his butt Katie!" Ed ranted, cheering on the enraged girl.
Roy glanced over at the Elrics, seeing Ed in a fit and Al attempting to calm him, before turning back to Katie and barely ducking one of the blades. "Katie, please just listen to me. I have an excellent explanation as to why I didn't bring her home last night." Roy stated as Katie dodged a column of flame.
"Then tell me already!"Katie screeched standing a few feet from Roy, swords held in a defensive position, in case he should attack.
"Look, all that happened was that while we were showing the town to Sarah, we stopped at a restaurant to eat, and she had too much to drink."Roy calmly stated, hoping that the angry fire ball that was Katie, in front of him would cool off. A moment of silence filled the room before the angry fire ball appeared to calm down. She put her swords on the ground and walked up to Roy.
"Is that the truth, Colonel?" She questioned severely, her eyes still burning with the fires of hell.
"Yes. That's all that happened…wait did you call me Colonel?" Roy asked, the edges of his mouth twisting up into a smirk. So the girl had finally acknowledged his rank and by doing so, had recognized that he was above her. As, Roy was thinking, Katie took a step back and turned towards Sarah. She took one step forward and then suddenly pivoted backwards.
CRASH!
When Katie had pivoted, her fist came flying forward and connected with Roy's face, launching him into the wall. A slight coating of dust floated around the room as Roy slowly stood up, his nose bleeding and his eye stinging like crazy.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" He screamed at the young girl who was walking towards Sarah. Katie turned her head and looked at him over her shoulder.
"That was for allowing Sarah to drink alcohol and get drunk when she's not even over the drinking age. SHE'S FRICKIN 17 ROY!"
"S-seventeen!" Roy said shocked and confused.
"Eighteen, in December," Sarah stated in a matter of fact way, "I'm practically an adult."
Katie rolled her eyes as Roy continued to try to compute that Sarah was as young as Katie claimed, "She's that young…and I…and last night…"
As Roy continued to babble to himself, Katie turning her attention back to her friend who was sitting on the Colonel's bed, clutching her head. She was no doubt experiencing a terrible hangover. She gently sat down beside Sarah and reached into her pocket to grab something. "Here Sarah, take these." Katie handed Sarah a small bottle containing medicine. Sarah took one look at the bottle before attacking it, gouging the lid open, and grabbing three of the pills and swallowing them. She closed the lid and handed the bottle back to Katie.
"Thanks Kit-Kat. Those will probably help with the head-ache once they kick in," Sarah stated with a small smile on her face, "I totally feel like a herd of elephants just preformed Cirque du Soleil's Corteo on my skull." Katie laughed and Sarah continued, "So, you know what I did yesterday. What happened to you?"
"N-Nothing much." Katie whispered, her eyes glancing towards Ed, a small pink blush appearing on her cheeks. Sarah's grin became like that of a small child getting the present they wanted on Christmas morning.
"You're telling me once we get back to Riza's Kit-Kat. Whether you want to or not," Sarah sang, attempting to stand up, but her legs turned to jelly and she flopped down on the bed. Katie sighed, knowing that one of the guys was going to have to carry Sarah back to Riza's apartment.
"I'll carry her Katie." Roy said stepping forward; he had somehow found his shirt and his face looked worse than it did a few minutes ago. He was definitely going to have a black eye by the end of the day. Katie huffed before standing quickly.
"Alright. Just don't try anything."She stated before stepping back to allow Roy to pick Sarah up. Ed and Al walked up to Katie.
"Are you alright Katie?" Al asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm just fine. I don't think I got burned while fighting Roy. If anything, I'm a little tired."
"Well what do expect? You were up extremely early this morning pacing and worrying your head off." Ed quipped, shaking his head and putting a hand on her shoulder. They all left Roy's half dead apartment and started off to Riza's. The trek was quiet since nobody seemed to want to disturb the slight peace that had fallen over them. Soon though, they were at Riza's door. Ed stepped forward and knocked, Riza opening the door before his hand was even back down at his side. She ushered everyone in before quickly closing the door and turning to face the small party.
"Where can I put Sarah down?" Roy asked, breaking the tense silence.
"In the back bedroom," Riza answered. Roy nodded and took Sarah to the room, gently set her down on the bed, smiled at her, and left the room. He walked back out in time to hear Katie say "Roy let Sarah get drunk and she's under the drinking age."
When Riza turned to Roy angrily, Katie decided that she should go talk with Sarah. She walked into their shared room and quietly shut the door. She walked over to the bed and sat down beside Sarah who excitedly grabbed her arm.
"What happened yesterday Kit-Kat?"Sarah questioned with glee.
