I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.

This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed.

Surprisingly enough there was still plenty of tickets available for the train ride to Central. Once the four of us bought our tickets we found our seats. I rested my right arm on my lap, Winston really outdid himself this time. The train started moving and I could feel eyes starring at me I looked up to see that Ling was looking at my automail arm. I grabbed for my jacket to pull it on to cover the arm.

"No keep it out, I've never really seen automail before so it interests me." I kept the jacket off and looked towards Winston who had a smug look on his face. "May I?" Ling asked reaching for my arm.

"Um... Sure, I guess." I used my left hand to push the hair away from my face as Ling grabbed my right arm. For the first time since I got the automail I wished I could feel with the arm, he had one of his hands placed just above my elbow and the other on was holding my hand. I drummed my fingers on his palm lightly. He looked so happy like a kid at Christmas.

"I can feel the parts move when you do that! Do it again!" So I drummed on his hand again. He smiled and laughed. We looked into each others eyes and I didn't feel self conscious at all.

"What do you mean you haven't seen that much automail?" Winston asked

"Oh Xing is more medically advanced then Amestris but we are a bit further behind on technological advancements, I grew up with stories of people with metal limbs but I have never seen one until I came here."

"Winston does some of the best work." I said. I looked to Winston again but he was frowning at Ling. I looked back to Ling he was still starring at my arm lifting it and looking at it from other angles. The cab was quiet for a few minuets Ling was working his way up my arm getting closer to my shoulder. He put his hand on my thigh just above the knee and leaned in super closer to my arm. I could swear he could hear my heart beat quicken.

"So Ling do you have a girlfriend?" Winston asked breaking the silence.

"What no until recently I considered myself gay." Winston moved away from him when he said that and I glared at him. When I looked back to Ling he was starring at me, are noses could almost touch he was that close. I held my breath waiting for him to make the next move. "I think you Amestrian might have changed my mind though."

"If you're talking about Mr Garfield and Winston, they aren't all like that." I said

"It wasn't them I was talking about." He said still looking at me.

"So Ling how old are you?" Alphonse asked this time.

"I'm 15." he said with a smile. Winston leaned over to me and whispered

"Aren't you almost 16?" with that I stood up.

"Stand up I have to see something." He stood up and looked down at me. He was a good head taller. "I thought lighter automail was supposed to make me taller!" I winded to Winston.

"1st of all I haven't learn how to make stronger lighter automail so you don't have it yet and 2nd of all it won't make you taller over night!" Winston yelled at me.

"I don't understand aren't girls supposed to be smaller then boys, so you're still tall for a girl." Ling said trying to understand what was going on.

"Who did you say was so small like a grain of rice that doesn't even show up in your eye!" I yelled I was going to hit him when a sword came from the roof.

"Do not threaten the young master." The girl named Lan Fan said. 'This was going to be a long train ride.'

POV ROY

Sheska woke me up from a nap all too early. I spent all night last night visiting Maes at the hospital, he would have been out right now but he had to tear his wounds back open. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes

"How long was I asleep for?" I asked her

"About ten minutes." I threw m head back, 'great almost time for the meeting.' I walked t the bathroom to find Armstrong and Havoc chatting around the sinks. I turned the cold water on and started washing my face trying to wake myself up.

"Major you injured yourself?" I asked out of interest.

"I fought a little in the south it's nothing to bad." 'Not to bad my ass,' I thought I could see that he was holding his ribs, they must have been cracked at least.

"Speaking of the South Havoc did Fullmetal renew his assessment?"

"yeah he did boss." He put a little to much emphasis on he.

"What do you know?"

"Only that he is in fact a she."

"How did you find out? The only reason why I know is because I over heard them yelling." I told him.

"She told me herself sir." Havoc informed me. "Well she was panicked when I tried to get her cuts patched up by a doctor and she told me that she was a she."

"Wait told you herself. Havoc you know that means she really trusts you, and if you betray her trust you betray mine." I was dead serious when I told him that.

"I won't do anything to hurt the kid, you know that boss." There was silence for a while. "Why did you tell us boss, we could be protecting her and helping her out on her missions."

"It's not my place to tell anyone, it's up to her to tell the rest of the team when she feels the time is right. And she's a girl not a invalid she's not in any more danger then she was before when you thought she was a boy."

"But I would still feel better if someone was with her."

"Young Havoc do you forget my sisters?" Armstrong asked. I agreed with him the Armstrong women you didn't want to mess with, I still have the scars from that dinner with Olivier.

"What about Hawkeye? You want to tell her she shouldn't be watching me because it's dangerous. I mean just look at the other night she could've been killed by Barry but she wasn't. Do you think Ed is just some damsel in distress waiting for you to save her?"

"You're right you're right, I still have one more question Mustang. Are you still going to make the female officers wear miniskirts?" He raised an eyebrow and he had me. I laughed sarcastically at his question.

"Any news of Lt Colonel Hughes?" Armstrong asked changing the subject.

"He's getting better, I mean he still doesn't remember anything but he's getting better. I still haven't made any headway in trying to figure out what he learnt to make someone try to kill him."

"Speaking of Hughes, you know his nurse I have a date with her tonight and I need to get off of work early is that okay?"

"Fine go ahead but try not to traumatize her to much Havoc at least while Hughes is still in the hospital." I said as I left for the meeting.

Hi guys long time no see (not really but) I have started make a story about Hughes so if you want the full details of that then I recommend you go to that story if not you can still get the gist of what's going on with him. I figured keep this Ed's story and not Hughes story.

See you guys next time in Central with Ed.
