Ch. 6 part 1 Dance Ed, Dance!

Ed grumbled to himself. If this was the only way he could talk to her, he had to dance. He got near to Ember and started dancing. Surprising to Ember, he was actually pretty good at it. While dancing they managed to whisper a conversation.

"Why are you so mad at me?" asked Ed.

"Why the hell do you think I'm mad at you!" said Ember.

"I thought it was my bed!"

"Sure you did."

By now they were at the climax of the song and Ed went along with what he was taught in his dance class (yes, he took them. He doesn't have a tattoo. At least, none I know of). He put his hands on Ember's stomach and lifted her up. After about 6 seconds, he brought her down. They paused for a moment then Ember twirled out and got into sync with the beat. Ed did the same.

Then another song came on. 'My immortal' by Evanescence. Ember went to grab some random guy from the crowd to slow dance with, but Ed grabbed her arm so she would have to dance with him.

"Oh no you don't. We're going to talk so you're dancing with me."

"Fine."

They twirled around the dance floor looking like a regular couple.

Eighteen very, VERY, long songs later they had everything straightened out.

Ch. 6 part 2 An Attraction?

All Ember could hear was the beeping of a heart monitor; Ed shouting, and some other voices that she couldn't recall who they were.

Beep, beep, beep, beep the machine went on.

Ember tried to recall what happened. They were dancing, She went outside to get some fresh air because she felt a little dizzy. Then everything went black. What had happened?

She felt someone grab her hand. She looked up to see Ed. Her breath became shallow. She herd Ed call for Oxygen. She blacked out again.

When Ember woke up again she was inside a hospital room. Ed was asleep in the chair and Al was asleep on the floor. They had to have gone out to a bigger city because the city they were in had no hospital.

Al woke up. He saw Ember was awake. "Good morning. Let me go and get you some food." With that he went out of the room.

Ed was woken up by Al's metal feet hitting the floor. He gave Ember a smile. "So you're up."

"I guess so," said Ember. She rubbed her head, "Ugh, what happened?"

"You fainted."

Ember had a look of shock on her face. She put her hand over her chest.

"So that's why you want to get the Philosopher's stone? For your heart?"

Ember nodded.

Ed looked down at the floor.

"Ed," Ember said finally after a little while, "I'm feeling a little tired. Could you go?"

"Yea," he said.

Ember did go to sleep. After about three hours she woke up again. She was just staring out the window for a while until she herd voices outside her door.

"Oh, Mr. Elric--"

"Hello Mrs. Matsuura. Is Ember up yet?"

'Oh no! I don't want to be bothered now! I know, I'll pretend to be asleep. Even Ed wouldn't wake up a sleeping person!' With that she pretended to be asleep. She pulled the covers up near her shoulders.

"No, but why don't you go in there?"

Ed walked in. "Ember, are you sleeping?"

Ember didn't move.

Ed stared at her. He looked at her black hair that overflowed the pillow. He twined a lock of hair around his fingers. Ember didn't flinch. He gazed at her face now. Her skin looked so soft. Before he knew what he was doing, he stroked her cheek with his finger tips. He rested his hand on her jaw bone near her neck, leaned in and kissed her. After about 10 seconds he pulled back and stared one more time at her face. He put his fingers over his lips, then walked out of the room.

Once Ember knew he was gone she snapped up. Her hands flew to her mouth as she blushed. 'Wha- What was that all about!' she thought.

The next morning Ember got up early. Today was the day she was leaving the hospital. While she was getting ready all she could think about was that kiss. 'What did he mean by that! Grrrr…. Now I don't know how to act when I see him!'

Al came in. "Do you have anything miss Ember?"

Ed came from behind him, "Yea, we don't want to come all the way back here because you forgot something."

Ember turned away from him. She knew if she were to look at him she would look him in his eyes; and she couldn't lie to anyone looking in their eyes.

She swung her bag onto her shoulder. "Yeah, I've got everything. Let's just go."

They walked out the hospital. "So where to?"

"Seth's. The doctors said no traveling for a few days," said Ed.

When Ember got into the house she went up to the guest room and crashed on the bed, but not before she locked the door so no unexpected visitors could come in.

"Wonder dog? Isn't that the new theme park?" asked Ember that night.

"Yeah," said Seth, "My boss gave me two passes because I've got Al helping me at the factory. Why don't you and Ed go?"

"I don't know. You work while we go off and play?"

"We'll take them," said Ed. "We can go tomorrow."

Ember glared at him, but then said, "ok."

The next morning Ember got up later than usual and she and Ed walked to wonder dog.

A few hours after playing some games Ember spotted one of those animal claw grabbing machines. Look, Look! That one's so Kawaii! Isn't it cute?"

"You mean that one?"

"It's cute, cute, CUTE! I want it! I WANT IT!"

"Step aside and let the master have a shot at it. I'm good at theses things."

About 3 seconds later Ember herd "I got it!"

"Really!"

Ed handed her something that defiantly wasn't the 'cute' plushie she wanted.

"Thanks," she said twitch twitch

After a few hours of walking around a girl ran up to Ed saying "Ed? Ed!"

She ran up and hugged him; a little too friendly. After she was talking to him about past times they had she finally left.

"So, who was that?"

"That was Arimi. We used to go out. It was only for three months, but we did pretty much everything.

"E-EVERYTHING!"

"Yeah, you know--Christmas, new Year's, Valentine's day, birthdays, all the tings that couples do."

"Oh--you mean those things."

"What, were you thinking of something else?"

"NO!"

"Ember you pervert!"

"Shut up Ed!"

"Well, should I tell you how far we went?"

"I don't want to know!"

"We did nothing."

"Liar."

"No, really. My first kiss was you, Ember."

Ember had a look of shock on her face.

"You were awake, weren't you?" asked Ed.

"You knew…?"

"Not at first, no. But I felt your body move while I was doing it.

Ember blushed. "Why did you do that?"

"Well the devil made me do it."

Ember glared at him.

"Yikes! I'm kidding! It's because I like you Ember."

Ember smacked him across the face. "Stop teasing me! You're always cocky and you're never serious when we talk!" With that, she walked away.

Ed stared at her walk away. Then he smiled and said. "I made her mad again."

Ember: Hoped you liked it! Please review.
Ed: you slapped me!
Ember: Oh poor baby kisses Ed's cheek
Ed: blushes
