Not a Normal Girl

A/N: Product of: My writer block for chapter 21, bordem, and..well because its Halloween (or Hallows-eve...). This chapter is separate from the plot. Enjoy~ I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes in advance.

It was a chilly fall day in Resembool where Ed, Al, Kaylee, and I sat in the Rockbell's living room watching the leaves fall. Ed had gotten in another fight again and his arm needed maintenance. Winry had to make a quick run to get more parts so I currently didn't need to deal with her. Pinako was using the parts they had to start making some shifts to Ed's leg because apparently he had grown…I'm not seeing the difference though.

"You wanna know what I want to do, right now?"

Ed looked over at me, "What?"

"Trick or Treating."

"Oh! That sounds like fun!" Kaylee said.

"What?" Al asked.

"Totally forgot where I was for a second," I muttered, "Trick or Treating is the act of dressing up in a costume and going around door to door on October 31st and getting candy. This special day is called Halloween"

"You get free candy by going door to door?" Al asked in disbelief.

"Yep! Last year I was a ninja." I said.

"I sat home with friends and watched scary movies." Kaylee said.

"That seems so-"

"Stupid"

"Awesome!"

Well at least we know that Al still has his youth.

"Brother, how is it stupid?" Al asked.

"Why would someone just randomly give random people that come to their door candy?"

"Uh, because its fun!" I exclaimed, "Ya know, I think you would hate my world."

"Why?"

"Because, you'd find half the things we do weird. Ever heard of Thanksgiving?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Didn't think so."

"Brother, I think we should go Trick or Treating!" Al said, excitedly.

"How? No one here knows what that is!" Ed said.

If Al had a human body, I'm pretty sure he'd be pouting.

"Oh, Al don't mind Ed." I said, "Hey, I have an idea!"

"What is it?" Al asked.

"How about we go and get some candy down at the market." I suggested.

"Yeah!" Kaylee cheered.

"But I can't eat it…" Al muttered.

I looked at him sadly, "Oh, that's right. Sorry Al."

"Plus, I'm the one with the money. I don't know how either of you would pay for the candy." Ed said.

"Fine then. Daddy, can I have some money?"

Ed glared at me and I swear I saw a blush creep up on his face, "Absolutely not."

"Whyyyyy?" I whined.

"Don't you want some candy, Ed?" Al asked.

"I want to celebrate Halloween!" I whined again.

"Alright, fine!" Ed said then looked over at Kaylee, "Don't you have money?"

"No, I spent it. Seeing as I've been out of the military for awhile my money only went so far." Kaylee replied.

Ed sighed and got up off the couch, "Fine, let's go."

"Yay!" Kaylee and I cheered, fallowing him out of the house.

We went into town and went to a small candy shop and bought three bags of candy.

"Don't you guys think that's too much?" Ed asked, putting the money on the counter.

"If you ask me this is too little." Kaylee said, popping a piece of chocolate in her mouth.

"How old are you again?" Ed asked.

"Twenty, why?"

"Just wondering…,"Ed muttered.

"Oh lighten up Ed," I said bumping his shoulder with mine playfully, "Eat some candy."

"I don't want any." He said.

I pouted, "You are seriously no fun!"

"As your elder I demand you eat the candy!"

Ed looked at Kaylee as if she was on crack (which candy could be considered crack).

"You know what this day needs?" Kaylee said, breaking the silence that had engulfed us as we walked up the rode.

"Oh god, what?" Ed muttered.

"A haunted trail!"

"No!" I shouted, "There is no way I'm going on a haunted trail! I cried the last time I went on one and hugged my friend for dear life!"

"Seriously?" Kaylee laughed, "Oh come on, they're not that scary!"

"Yes, they are!"

"Did you seriously cry on this thing called the hunted trail?" Ed asked.

"Yes…yes I did."

Ed scoffed, "You're such a baby."

"I am not! I was like eleven when this happened." I protested, "I was just a kid."

"What ever you say." He said with a light smirk.

"Why are you smirking?"

"No reason."

I glared at him for the rest of our walk back to the Rockbell house.

So even though I told them about my traumatic experience on a haunted trail, Kaylee insisted we find a trail to walk on.

"I hate you people."

"We love you too Mikayla, we really do." Kaylee said.

I groaned, "I can tell."

It was pitched black and I could barley see Ed and Kaylee next to me.

"What was that?" I asked when I heard a stick break.

"I broke a stick with my foot." Ed replied.

"Oh." I muttered, "You know what, I rather suffer and watch Winry fix Ed's auto-mail then walk this trail. I'm going back and sit with Al. He was smart not to come."

"But what if there's a stalker behind us? Then he's going kill you."

"I hate you, Kaylee."

"Love you too." She said.

"You do not love me! You made me-"

The bushes and trees started to move in the wind making the leaves rub against each other creating an eerie feeling.

"Can we go back?"

"No, this trail leads back to the house anyway. I think you'll be fine." Ed said, "Don't be so scared. How many times have I saved your butt any other time?"

He had a point there. I tried to stay calm as we walked but suddenly I saw a figure a few feet away from us.

"Um, what is that?" I asked.

"What?" Kaylee asked.

I pointed, "That?"

Suddenly the figure ran towards us. I let out a high-pitched scream and run the opposite direction. I heard Ed and Kaylee's footsteps behind me.

"Oh gosh." I muttered.

There was another figure up head, it started chucking objects at us and we stopped. The two figures closed in on us.

I started hyperventilating and jumped on Ed's back, "Oh my gosh, I'm going to die and it's all your fault!"

"Mine? This was Kaylee's idea!" Ed shouted.

I hugged him around his neck and squeezed my eyes shut.

I seemed like an eternity until I heard a hallow laugh that sounded familiar. I opened my eyes and the person clicked on a flash light.

"Al?" I question.

"You should have seen the look on you guys' faces!" Al laughed.

Winry was on the other side of us laughing her butt off.

"I seriously thought I was going to pee on myself…" Kaylee muttered.

"I hate you people." I said, "I can't feel my legs…"

"Do I need to carry you home?" Ed asked, and I knew he probably rolled his eyes.

"Yes."

Ed placed me on the couch were I wrapped a blanket around me and curled my legs to my chest.

"Are you going to cry?" Kaylee chuckled.

"Shut up!" I shouted, "Of course not!"

Winry smirked, "I wish I had a camera. The look on your face Mikayla was priceless."

I glared at Winry, "Your face would be too if someone was chucking random objects at you! What is it that you threw at us?"

"Old wrenches and other tools that I didn't need." She replied.

"I could have been hit in the head with one of those things!"

Winry shrugged and looked like she really didn't care-which she probably didn't.

Al laughed a little, "It was really fun, we should do that again."

"Definitely no. If you do I'll be sittin' here or I'll be the one scaring people."

Kaylee shook here head, "Oh Mikayla you really don't have the Halloween spirit."

"Sure I do! All I want is the candy though!" I said.

The rest of the night was spent picking on me about my fears of haunted trails and houses and the fact that I cried when I was eleven a haunted trail. Oh yes, it was the best night of my life…

Author Corner:
