Enjoy!
Bella yawned, staring boredly out the window. The scenery flew by as the train rolled along, carrying them slowly to their destination…very slowly.
"Damn..." she sighed. "Could this train get any damn slower!"
Ed was asleep (luckily) across from the Ishbalan thief, leaning against the window. Snoring, he flopped over, his head resting on Rei's, which had been on his shoulder. A frown flitted across Bella's face, but she hid it before Al saw.
Despite her deftness, Al asked, "Is something wrong?" Of the others, he was the only one awake.
Grinning, she replied, "Of course not! We're going oh so fast, and we're sooooo close to whatever 'middle-of-fricking-nowhere' place we're going to. So of course nothing's wrong!" She plastered a sickly sweet smile on her face.
Al sighed. "You're right. We have been on the train for quite a while…" Looking at the brunette alchemist, he said, "You know, if you're tired, you can sleep. We'll be here for a long time; you may want to get comfortable."
Bella sighed, looking back outside. "Nah…I've already had a nap." Sighing again, she glared at passing landmarks.
Eventually, she must have fallen asleep, because the next thing she knew, the train was coming to an abrupt halt. Rei and Ed had been facing the back, so when the train stopped, they flew forward.
"Omph!" Bella winced as Ed landed on her. Al was a little quicker, and gently caught Rei.
"Huh?" Ed sat up, rubbing his eyes. He seemed not to see that he was sitting in Bella's lap, instead glancing around. "Are we already there?"
Al laughed, careful not to wake Rei. "Big brother…" he pointed to the blushing Bella.
"Huh? …Ah…" he blushed bright red, quickly jumping backwards. Al laughed, and Rei started to wake up.
"Heya Angel-chan!" Bella said a little too cheerfully. "You missed all the action!"
Rei glared slightly, muttering, "I don't think I want to know…"
Ed hid his blush, saying, "Yeah, you don't…"
Bella looked around. "Hey…the train started again."
"Yeah…" Al looked out the window. "Wait…" he saw the surrounding seats. "There's no one else on the train."
"Really?" Bella and Ed looked around. "Cool!" Bella ran up and down the center of the train, screaming random things.
Rei sighed. "Baka renkinjutsushi," she sighed.
Bella cocked her head stupidly. "………What's 'ren ken joot sushi' mean?"
At the angry look in Rei's normally dead eyes, Bella hid behind Ed. "It means 'alchemist'…" Rei sighed.
"OOOOOhhhhhhhhhh," Bella said.
Al and Ed laughed at her naïve stupidity. She shrugged, not caring all too much, and resumed her 'patrol' of the aisle way.
After about…three hours, she got bored, falling tiredly onto the seat next Ed. Rei had fallen asleep again, leaning on Al; her face was slightly flushed, but Bella attributed it to her embarrassment at being partnered with an idiot. She tilted her head back, looking upside-down out the window.
"Hey…" she said. "Isn't wherever we're going in a forest or something like that?"
"No," Al said. "But the land's pretty green around it."
"Yeah…" Bella said thoughtfully (ha! an idiot thinks!). "Then…why are we in the middle of a desert?"
Ed and Al swung their heads around to look out the window. For as far as they could see, hot sand covered what should have been rolling green hills. No life could be seen on the flat land.
"Uh…" Ed looked annoyed. "I think we should talk to the conductor." He stood up, and was about to complete his plan, when a loud crash interrupted him.
The next few minutes were hectic. None of the young alchemists remembered it in anything other than flashes. Red light blinded them, and they were all thrown in separate directions.
"Al! Edo!" Bella screamed as she watched her friends fly through the air. "ANGEL-CHAN!" A hard object hit her head, and she passed out.
Ed met the ground rather hard, knocking the wind out of him. "Ow…" he looked up, to see two figures flying through the air. "Angel! AL!" He clutched his chest as a piece of burning debris knocked him over again. He heard two distinct cracks and fainted as the pain overcame him.
Al didn't fly very far. He had attempted to hold on to Rei, to soften the blow, but something knocked her out of his arms. "BROTHER!" he called, looking around. He was unaffected by the rapid shifts in gravitational orientation and the sudden crashes, and quickly sat up. "Angel, Bella!" He stood up, and was quickly knocked over by a large piece of debris. "Shoot…" he attempted to shove it off, but it seemed the entire train had landed on him. His arms were pinned; he couldn't reach his pouch of chalk to transmute whatever it was that trapped him.
The sudden lack of oxygen was what woke Rei up more than anything. Most people would have found waking up to clear sky and far-off ground rather disconcerting; Rei, however, merely shut her eyes, concentrating on something. A ball of white light appeared on her back as she bent forward.
A sharp pain on the back of her head woke Bella up. She sat up, rubbing her head, muttering, "Damn…that hurt…" She looked around again, and noticed a papery object nearby. Picking it up, she glared. "A book…?" She looked at the cover, but she couldn't read, nor did she recognize the odd characters on the front. "Angel-chan would be able to read it," she decided. Standing up, she searched for a familiar face. "Edward!" she called, desperate to find some semblance of familiarity. "Al! Angel-chan…?" she sighed, sitting back down. "Oh well…if I looked for them, I'd get lost." She grinned. "So I have every right to do absolutely nothing!"
Ed sat up slowly, holding his chest gingerly. "I guess Winry was right for once…I need to stop getting myself hurt…" He looked around, and saw a slightly familiar figure over to his left. He stood up, totally forgetting his 'minor' injuries, and ran over to Bella.
"Hey!" he called out. "Bella!"
The figure turned around. "Edo!" Bella shouted, standing up and dropping something in the process. She ran over to him, jumping up and glomping him.
"Un…" Ed winced, and Bella let go.
"Something wrong?" she asked with her (annoyingly) naïve idiocy.
"N-no!" Ed assured her, wincing again. "H-hey! W-we should look for Al and Angel."
"Oh yeah!" Bella said idiotically. "Let's look…" she glanced around, and bent over to pick up the object she had dropped earlier. "Over there!" she pointed at a looming object in the distance.
Despite the apparent distance, their random destination wasn't all that far away. Upon 'arrival', Bella sighed. "They're not here…" she complained. Groaning, she sat down on a rather shiny object, not really paying attention.
"Mmmm mm mmm!" a slightly familiar voice said.
"Huh?" Bella looked around.
"Al?" Ed asked.
Bella's 'seat' shifted, and she sprang up.
"Hey big brother, Bella!" Al said happily.
"Heya Aru!" Bella waved.
"Al!" Ed knelt down next to his brother. "How'd you get stuck under the train?"
"Oh…so it was the train," Al sighed. "Hey, big brother…could you get this off me? I'm kinda stuck…"
Ed clapped his hands together, transmuting the train into a twenty foot pole. Al sat up, and noticed the lack of a certain female alchemist…
"Hey, where's Angel?" he asked, a slight panic in his voice.
"We haven't found her yet," Bella said. "Course, we only just started looking."
"Oh…" Al looked sad.
"Well, let's get looking!" Ed stood up. He hadn't moved more than a centimeter before he fell over, clutching his stomach in pain.
"Big brother!" Al shouted. "What happened?"
"I dunno," the blonde alchemist said.
"You lied!" Bella pouted. "Earlier, you said nothing was wrong. You lied!"
"Uhhhhhhh…." Ed looked slightly nervous. "Uhh…yeah?"
Bella whacked him on the head. "You dumbass!"
"Oww!" Ed clutched his head. "Don't hurt injured people!"
"Brother, Bella…please stop fighting! We need to find Angel!"
"Angel-chan? No, she's right there," Bella pointed to the top of the pole.
"Really?" Ed and Al looked up. There, at the top of the pole, was Rei, just as Bella had said. Huge, magnificent feathered wings were on her back; the left was pure white, like snow, and the right was black, like the night.
"How'd you know she was up there?" Al asked.
"Uhh…" Bella scratched her head. "I dunno…it was like a voice in my head just told me."
"Hey…I get your second name now," Ed smiled up at the angel. "It's cause of your wings."
"Awwww, Angel-chan, can you please come down?" Bella complained. "My neck hurts when I have to look up at you. And the sun's kinda bright…"
Rei jumped off, flying down gracefully. She landed, folding her wings to her back. "Actually…" she said quietly to Ed, "they're not entirely the reason why. I've never told anyone about them."
"Then…" Ed looked confused.
Rei looked across the heat-washed land, a sad, lost look in her eyes. "It's…" she shut her eyes, looking down. "My mom…was a State Alchemist. She…was forced to fight in the Ishbalan Massacre," she sent a significant look to Bella, "but…" she smirked. "She…had a tendency to…mess with her orders."
"What was her second name?" Ed asked curiously. "Any alchemist I would have heard of?"
Rei looked like she was tempted not to answer, and Bella instantly interrupted. "You've kept silent long enough, Angel-chan," she pleaded. "C'mon, we've told you stuff about our pasts; can't you trust us a little more?" She ignored the little voice that said she couldn't really say that, what with everything she hadn't told the others.
"…The 'Angel's Light Alchemist'," Rei whispered, her eyes shut. "Skills: mind control, normal alchemy, and…" she opened her eyes, her pain at the forced memories obvious.
"Wow…" Bella's eyes widened. "I've heard of her…" Her eyes shone with awe. "During the war…she managed to slow the slaughter of m- of the Ishbalans, even if it was only a bit."
Rei nodded slowly. "You know…" she looked oddly at Bella. "Don't deny who you are," she said. "I know who you are."
"H-huh!" Bella said. "Wh-what are you talking about?"
"You weren't going to say 'the slaughter of the Ishbalans' until you remembered I was here. You would have said 'the slaughter of my people', right?"
"N-no!" Bella denied it. Shit…how'd she figure out?
"You're pretty obvious," Rei said, answering Bella's thoughts. "It wasn't hard to figure out."
(Comments from the authoresses: Ember-baka: Bella, Rei knows, just live with it! Kira: …idiot… Ember-baka: the square root of 11 is 62! –squealing- Kira: …help?)
Bella gasped. "Hey! How'd you read my mind?" (Ember: -mimicking Bella- I'm supposed to be the one who does that!)
"I didn't have to," Rei smirked. "You're so simple, I could read it on your face."
(Ed and Al: HEY! What about us? Kira: who cares? Ember-baka: yeah! –sticks out tongue- -falls off cliff- Everyone else: YAY! Ember-baka: YAY! Kira: …-shrugs- I rest my case: she's an idiot)
"Damn…" Bella muttered.
Ed sighed, getting tired of their 'argument'. "Bella, just admit it…me 'n Al know, and she's…" he gulped, his eyes wide, "smarter than us. She's probably known forever."
"Ah, fuck!" Bella screamed. Her voice echoed across the plains.
Rei slammed her hands over her ears. "Please…quiet down…" she practically whispered. "I have sensitive hearing."
"Ah, whoops," Bella looked embarrassed. "Sorry."
Ed picked up the book Bella had dropped earlier. "Hey, Bella, where'd you find this?" he asked.
"Oh," she grabbed it. "It hit me on the head when the train blew up."
A few moments passed in silence before she freaked out.
"OMFG! THE TRAIN BLEW UP! WE'RE TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!" she screamed, running in circles.
Ed fell over laughing, and Al couldn't help but laugh too. Rei smirked again.
"Ah…" Ed clutched his ribcage. "I forgot…"
"Dumbass!" Bella hit him on the head again. "Stop hurting yourself!" she continued to hit him.
Rei sighed, stepping forward. "Move over baka to ahou," she knelt next to the idiot blonde. "Take off your shirt," she ordered (Bella and Ember-baka: -nosebleed-).
"Wh-what!" Ed all but screamed, blushing insanely.
Rei raised an eyebrow. "Pervert," she muttered. "Healing works better when there's less stuff to block it," she sighed, as if explaining it to a young child.
"Oh," Ed said. He took off his shirt, blushing even more at the fact that there were two girls nearby.
"This is gonna hurt," she warned, then clapped her hands together. Pulling them apart slightly, a ball of white-green light appeared between them. She rested her hands on Ed's chest (Ember-baka: OMG! HOW DARE SHE TOUCH MY MAN! Kira: -sigh- -locks baka authoress up in lamp store- Ember-baka: OMFG! LAMPS! –screams like a little girl- Kira: -laughing at Baka-kun's…ah…situation-). The light spread out, covering his whole side. As it spread, Ed could feel a cool, soothing wave cover the pain. His eyes widened.
"That…that's not alchemy," he said when Rei was done.
"No," the girl said. She sat back on her heels with a sigh. "Don't talk," she warned, as Ed started to say something else. "Most of the energy that comes from that was taken from your body, so you'll be a little weak for a while. All I really did was realign your ribs and speed up the time around the breaks, so…" she grinned, an evil light in her eyes, "you'll be feeling like months have gone by for a while."
Ed groaned. "Just great…."
Bella picked up the book again. "Hey, Angel-chan, can you read this?"
Rei took the book from Bella's hands. She looked at the cover for a moment, her eyes not revealing anything. Opening it, she flipped around, occasionally scanning a page. "…Yes, I can," she said eventually. Her eyes were disturbed, as if what she had read was not pleasant.
"We should get out of this heat," Ed said, ignoring Rei's warning. "Does anyone know where the hell we are?"
Al stood up, helping Bella and Ed up as well. Rei stood by herself, looking around thoughtfully.
Rei and Bella both span around to face the same direction, and odd look on their faces. "What the…" Bella complained.
"…" Rei's eyes were thoughtful as she scanned the distant horizon.
"What?" Ed asked impatiently.
"Shhhhh," Al quieted his brother. "They might have seen something."
"…This presence…!" Rei muttered.
"?" Bella looked at Rei. "You felt it too?"
Rei nodded. (Random authoress thoughts: Ember-baka: OMG! IT'S KIRA-SAMA'S LONGEST SENTENCE EVA! Kira: …does anyone remember why I got partnered with the idiot?)
Bella stared at the horizon, her head tilted confusedly. "I dunno…I feel…like there's something calling me over there."
"Well then," Ed started walking. "Let's follow it! We've got nothing else to do."
One by one, they followed him, the blind leading the blind to an invisible destination.
They didn't know how far they had walked when a looming shadow appeared up ahead. Seeing it, Bella instantly freaked out.
"YES! SHADE! WE CAN GET OUT OF THIS GOD-FORSAKEN WASTELAND!" she ran ahead.
Ed ran with her, just as eager to get out of the blinding sunlight. Rei and Al followed at a slower pace, content with watching the two other alchemists make fools of themselves.
"Hey…" Ed looked around, searching for a door. "Stupid wall," he muttered, clapping his hands together. He placed them on the wall, but nothing happened. "What!" he screamed. He tried again and again and again, only to fail every time.
"Hahaha! The 'great Fullmetal' can't even transmute a door!" Bella taunted. She clapped her hands as well, mimicking Ed's movements.
A few silent moments passed.
"WHAT!"
"Jeez, Bella, shut up!" Rei shouted at her idiotic partner.
Bella ignored her. "WTH!" she ran in circles, screaming random insanities.
Al and Rei sighed, sweatdropping. Rei looked around, her sharp eyes picking up on the small details that decorated the wall.
Ed pouted. "What the hell? Why can't I transmute the wall!" He looked at his brother, asking, "Hey, Al, can you try?"
"Sure," Al drew a simple transmutation circle on the wall. He was about to set his hands on it, when Rei stopped him.
"Try here," she pointed to an odd series of scratches on the wall. She brushed away some of the sand and dust that had built up on the wall, and Al could see there was an odd transmutation circle, engraved in the wall.
"Okay," Al placed his hands in the center. The circle glowed with white light, and an archway appeared off to his right.
"Hey, Bella!" Ed called, seeing this. "C'mon, we're going in!"
"Oro?" she said, looking over. "Awesome!"
And so, our heroes (Ember: WTF! BELLA AND REI ARE GIRLS! THEY'D BE HEROINES! Kira: -sigh- if you weren't always stealing the laptop, I might be able to finish it. Ember: … Kira: finally, SILENCE!) and heroines entered the ruins.
"Wow…" Ed looked around. "This is big…"
The ceiling was arched, arcing back down over a hundred feet above their heads. A single crystal hung from the center, emitting a soft white glow that lit the entire ballroom. Other than that, nothing decorated the room; it was completely empty, void of any life.
The four alchemists walked further in, marveling at the magnificence of the giant room.
"This place is giant!" Bella said stupidly.
Al and Rei walked around, looking at everything. As they neared the center of the room, Al froze. Rei looked over her shoulder at him.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, spinning around as if she were dancing.
"I-I can't move!" Al said frightened. "My feet won't move!"
"Haha!" Bella taunted. "Aru got stu-uck, Aru got stu-uck," she sang.
"Hey, Al," Ed ran over from the other side of the room. He tripped over something, falling flat on his face. "Oww…" he moaned. (Ember-baka: HAHA! TAKE THAT, EDO-CHAN! –laughs like a maniac- Kira: …I give up…)
"Hahahahahaha!" Bella laughed, rolling on the floor. "What happened to the 'Great and All-Powerful Fullmetal'?" she teased, jumping up. "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!" she sang, randomly running around the room.
"Bella," Rei warned, but the baka alchemists ignored her.
"OWWWWWWW!" Bella slammed into the floor. "WTF!"
Ed started laughing as he attempted to sit up. "Haha, what happened to the 'Great and All-Powerful Devil's Angel'?" he mimicked her.
"Shut up, Blondie!" she complained.
"Uh, big brother, Bella?" Al said. "Please stop fighting…we need to figure out how to get out of here."
"Damn…" Bella sighed, still lying on the floor. "STUPID DAMN TRIPPY-THINGIES!" she screamed, pounding the floor with her fists like a little kid in a temper tantrum.
Edward sighed. "God damned…whatever this is!" he banged his head on the floor.
"Big brother!" Al shouted. "Don't hurt yourself!"
Rei just listened to them fight, looking at the odd carvings on the floor beneath her feet. "This is…!" she whispered in shock.
"CURSE YOU, YOU…ah…" Bella thought for a bit, "CURSE YOU, YOU BALLROOM!"
"This isn't a ballroom," Rei said, grinning evilly. "It's a tomb…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
JK! HAHA, WE TRICKED YOU! –authoresses laugh maniacally-
"This isn't a ballroom," Rei said, shock evident on her face as she slowly backed up. "It's a transmutation circle…"
She took another step, and the panel under her feet lit up. A sad blue teardrop shone brightly beneath her feet, giving her clothes an azure tint. A few seconds later, a stubborn red flame appeared on the platform that had tripped Bella, and she stood up, her eyes wide.
"What…the…hell…?" she asked no one in particular.
Two wavy, calm, light green lines reflected off of Al's armor as he gasped in shock. "B-big brother!" he called out in fear.
Ed was the last to stand. A warm brown glow in the shape of what appeared to be a rock came from the floor beneath him, altering the colors of everything else.
Oddly enough, no one panicked beyond that. Bella stared, wide-eyed, as white lines connected the four pillars of light, but no random comments came to her. Al didn't seem to react after his last declaration, as the green light calmed him down. Ed moved as if to cover his eyes in an attempt to block the light, but it dimmed before he was done. Rei merely stood there, her eyes closed, totally relaxed in her blue pillar.
As they watched, the white light formed a complex transmutation circle, complete with various characters and intricate designs. A similar transmutation circle appeared on the ceiling, far above their heads, and on the walls around them, making the room appear completely white. The brightness grew, and Bella saw Ed and Rei collapse to the ground before everything turned black.
Ed awoke to a blinding brightness. "Unnnn…" he groaned, sitting up. He looked around, surprised to see they were no longer in the transmutation room. "Where are we?" he asked the air, blinking. He was on a wide bench, covered by his jacket, at what appeared to be a train station…but he wasn't sure. "Hey, Bella!" he shook the alchemists next to him. "Wake up!"
"No…." she moaned, digging her head into Ed's chest. "Five more minutes…"
Ed blushed bright red. "C-c'mon, Bella, wake up," he shook her a little harder, trying to get her to move before anyone saw.
"No…" she clung to his shirt.
Ed swore he could feel steam coming out of his ears. "C-come on," he tried to shove her off.
She only clung tighter, and Ed heard a soft laugh from behind him. Spinning his head around, he saw Rei, dressed in a new kimono. This one was white, with a slight bluish tint near the ends of her sleeves and at the bottom hem, and the sleeves hung off her shoulders. One dark, ash-silver ribbon was tied around her neck, and another held the end of her braid. Her obi was the same ash-silver as the ribbons, and her boots were the same white as before, but seemed more like fabric this time than actual shoes. More ribbons were tied around them, holding them up. The sleeves weren't as long as on her previous one; now, they reached just past her elbows, leaving her hands free. Fingerless gloves in the same ash-silver as everything else reached up to her shoulder, where they connected with a tight, black shirt underneath the kimono. Her bracelet was on her left wrist, bright silver against glossy black.
Ed's jaw dropped. "Wow…" he said, totally forgetting Bella.
Rei's eyebrows rose. "What?" she said, her head tilted, a question in her eyes.
"N-nothing," Ed stuttered. (Kira: haha, poor Edo…he's stuttering about everything! Ember-baka: aww, he loves her… -laughing like a maniac- Kira:…ur not mad…-blinks in shock- and to think, just…-counts lines- however many lines ago, she was freaking because Rei touched him…-shakes head in amazement- Ember-baka: wait – EYES OFF MI MAN! Kira: …nm)
Bella stirred, finally waking up. "Huh…?" she rubbed her eyes, looking around. She saw Ed next to her, well, saw him right in front of her, and froze. She lay there for a few moments, staring at Ed's shirt, then her hands clutching Ed's shirt, then back to Ed's shirt. A blush instantly darkened her cheeks, and she screamed silently.
Ed couldn't help but smirk. "What, gonna let go now?" he teased.
Bella jumped back, sitting on the floor. "Of course!" she replied indignantly, trying to hide her blush.
"Come on, idiots, get up," Rei sighed. "Our train leaves soon; we don't want to miss it."
"Hey…" Ed looked around. "Where's Al?"
"Yeah…" Bella blinked. "I haven't seen him either."
Rei grinned. "C'mon, let's go; you'll see soon enough."
Ed and Bella sighed, standing up. "Where are we heading again?" Bella asked boredly. "And why a train? Remember last time? It crashed."
"Would you rather walk?" Rei offered. "Besides, last time was a fluke; there wasn't anyone driving. The conductor and the rest of the passengers had gotten off when the train stopped, and it wasn't due to make another trip until yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Ed asked, his eyes widening in shock. "Then..."
"Yep," Rei smirked back at the two idiots. "You've been out for two days."
"WHHHAAAAAAAAT!" Bella and Ed screamed.
"Bella! Big brother!" Al shouted. "Hurry up!" He was standing on the back of the departing train.
"Damnit!" Bella and Ed cursed, running after the train.
"Wait up, stupid pile of junk!" Bella screamed, jumping over and grabbing Al's hand. Ed followed suit, and they turned back to help Rei.
"C'mon, Angel-chan!" Bella reached her hand out. Rei jumped forward, landing on the railing and almost falling off. Bella grabbed her hand before she fell, and Rei slid down.
Ed sighed. "I think I'm tired of deserts…" he complained.
"Me too," Bella said. They walked inside and sat down in one of the booths. "Well, at least that's over," she said.
Ed looked over to her. "Do you remember what happened?" he asked, leaning against the window.
Bella did the same, propping her feet in Al's lap. "Nope!" she said casually, clasping her hands behind her head. "But I don't care."
"You should," Rei said, looking up from the book. "I have a feeling it's going to be very important, and fairly soon."
"Yeah, whatever," Bella grinned recklessly. "Take life as it comes!"
"Is that the book Bella found?" Al asked Rei.
Rei nodded. "It's…interesting. Most of this stuff could easily be called treason, if the military found it. But…" she looked down at the page she was reading. "It's interesting," she finished mysteriously, an almost evil sparkle in her eyes.
"Interesting, as in, not boring?" Bella asked. "Or interesting, as in cool, or weird, or …" she shrugged.
"Interesting, as in odd," Rei responded cryptically.
"Well, you're not much help!" Bella complained.
Ed looked over Rei's shoulder. "Hey…" he said, looking confused. "I can read some of that!"
Rei grinned. "It's a very complex 'code'," she said. "The authors used many different languages when they wrote this, so it would be very hard for one person to read this without the help of others. But the first part's all Amestrian and Japanese, so I can read most of it."
"Awesome!" Bella shouted. "Hey, can you guys teach me how to read some of the other stuff in there?" she asked, smiling. For once, it wasn't a mask: she was truly happy.
Rei shrugged, "If we have time."
"AWESOME!" Bella, who hadn't learned from last time, started running up and down the aisle way.
Idiot… the other three alchemists all sweatdropped.
Crash! Ed froze, looking out the window. The scenery rolled by as usual, and he frowned, confused. Looking at Rei, he saw her laughing silently. "What!" he pouted.
Rei only grinned, pointing behind him. Bella had managed to knock something over, and now lay in a pile of boxes, laughing. Ed just watched for a while, before he fell of his seat laughing. I guess… he thought in some small part of his mind, …no matter what comes our way…
…we'll get through it, somehow…
Kira: -laughing- that was so fun to write... -grins- ne ways, say bii bii to Ember-baka... (Readers: WTH!) ...she's going out-of-town for the weekend, so she won't be back until monday (or sumthin like that)
