A/N: I DIDN'T DO ALL OF THIS MYSELF! I had help from Sunaka. I recommend if you like my stories that you should check out her stories "Ice Fire" which is an FMA fic, and "Tears of Blood" which is an Inuyasha fic.
Previously: Serena changed to her human form and glared at Ed. "What do you want you short shrimp?" Ed looked at her dumb founded. Not only had this petty thief tried to rip his arm off but now she was saying that he was short. And they were exactly the same height. (A/N: In this story Ed and Serena are both 5'8")
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU MANGY SHAPE SHIFTER" He hollered. Serena glared at him. "You heard me….She growled."
Ed shook his head and smirked…."You'll regret ever saying that"
Chapter 4 East Headquarters------------------------
Ed charged at Serena transmuting his right arm into a blade. Serena backed up against the wall using her feet as a spring and jumped over the state alchemist. Ed turned only to be struck in his left shoulder by Serena who had transformed into a black wolf. Al ran to his brother's aid by grabbing Serena by the ribs and threw her against the wall.
Ed glared at the black wolf before him gripping his shoulder, "what the fuck ARE you?" Serena stood on all four paws before transforming back into her human form. She stood up on her feet and returned the glare, "then tell me who the fuck ARE you!"
Ed remained composed on the outside while inside his jaw mentally dropped. This new bitch was snapping back at him! Knowing his rank in the military! "I'm Edward Elric! Full Metal Alchemist and Hero of the People! Now what are you doing here?"
"it's a train! I can buy a ticket if I want!" Serena snapped back. Ed glowered at her, "not what I meant…why were those people after you?" "I had taken some food and they thought I didn't pay for it." Serena smirked.
If a sweatdrop could've formed on the suit of armor, it would at this moment, "um…that's all?" "NO THAT'S NOT IT YOU TIN CAN!" Serena snapped. "She stole my purse," a woman said bitterly glaring at Serena from the crowd.
Serena glowered at the woman, "she didn't seem so cold and bitterly when I took it from her. She was all sweet talking when I snatched it." Ed couldn't believe what he was hearing, "what? of course she'd turn bitter about what you did! You STOLE her purse!" "it wasn't even all that fancy," Serena snorted.
Ed slowly walked over to Serena. "Serena how stupid do you think I am?" He asked. Serena thought for a moment. "Is that a rhetorical question?" Ed fumed at her response, "LISTEN HERE YOU STUPID, BITCHY LITTLE--" "brother please!" Al said holding his brother by the arms, "calm down Ed please!"
Serena smirked, "how sad for you pipsqueak." Ed snapped, "PIPSQUEAK? WE'RE THE SAME HIEGHT!" "But I'm average for my age," Serena said smugly, "now if you're done with your temper tantrum I have somewhere to be."
With that Serena transformed into a black raven and dove for the window. Al ran past her and closed the window as Ed grabbed her. Al removed his breastplate and Ed threw her inside as Al closed his armor. Al would've grimaced if he could as Serena transformed back inside his armor.
"LET ME OUT YOU TIN CAN!" Serena yelled as she pounded on Al's breastplate, "LET ME OUT! WHAT ARE YOU? SOME KIND OF POULTRY LOVER!"
"I don't think ravens are considered poultry," Ed snickered. Serena could feel a vein pulsing in her forehead from anger, "smart ass…"
"Now be a good LITTLE girl while the BIG boys go and talk too the BIG people…." Ed said to Serena as he handed the purse back to the lady, who had a gleeful smile on her face.
Serena growled as she changed into her wolf form and started thrashing around the chest cavity causing Al to shake violently. "Uh…Brother we have one mad thief here…." Al said. Ed shrugged his shoulders. "So…Lets go see the dumbest person in the world…."
Time Jump----East Headquarters----
"Here's the report," Ed said slapping a file report on Mustang's desk. "Good job, Full Metal. Now what is it that you said was too much of a fuss to tell me on the phone?" Mustang said picking up the file and looking through it.
Ed snorted at the colonel's smug look, "we caught a thief on our train ride back." Mustang quirked an eyebrow, "oh? for once you do the military a favor, eh, shortie?" Ed glared at Mustang, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A LADDER TO LOOK OVER A CURB?"
Mustang just looked casually over at Riza until Ed's little tantrum subsided then turned back to the vertically challenged teen, "if you're done I'd like to see this 'thief'." Ed snorted before motioning for Riza to let Al in. Al ran inside as fast and as best as he could. He snapped open his breastplate and a fuming Serena fell out.
She stood up and glared straight at Ed ignoring the other presences in the room, "YOU SHORT LITTLE--" "I'M NOT SHORT!" Ed snapped before Mustang stood from his desk capturing the attention of everyone in the room. "Full Metal, where did you say you met this girl?"
"On the train," Al stated. A smirk rose to the colonel's lips, "oh? now If I didn't know any better I'd say she was your over-dramatic girlfriend." "WHAT!" both Ed and Serena snapped at the black-haired man.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" "I'M NOT OVER-DRAMATIC!" Mustang's smirk widened at Serena's statement, "so you admit he's your boyfriend?" Serena sneered at the man, "I NEVER SAID HE WAS!" "but you never said he wasn't." "HE'S NOT OKAY!" Serena yelled closing the discussion.
Riza faced her higher official, inwardly rolling her eyes, "sir, if I may say, this girl seems to have a little…spunk to her. She may suit well for the military." Serena's eye twitched, "say…WHAT?" Mustang smirked, "that may be a good idea. She may be of use to us." Riza turned away rolling her eyes, 'more like a pawn for your little mini-skirt scheme…'
Mustang sat down in his chair and motioned for Serena to sit as well. " No thanks I'll stand…." She growled. " Nonsense, Riza take her coat please…." Mustang ordered. Riza sighed and reached out to grab the coat but Serena grabbed her wrist. " I SAID NO!" She snapped. She jerked away as soon as Ed and Riza grabbed her coat by the sleeves. She broke away tearing the sleeves.
Ed's eyes widened as did the colonel's as they noticed a transmutation circle embedded in her left shoulder. "What the hell is that!" Riza asked pointing to the circle and the black wolfs tail.
"Kandy. Kandy, wake up," an man about 38 or so with back length brown hair pulled into a low ponytail nudged the sleeping woman on the couch. She sat up and yawned, "how long have I been out, Travis?" "about a few hours," Travis said his blue eyes glancing at his watch, "how's your arm? You fell asleep practically crying from the pain of reattaching it."
Kandy looked at her arm. The automail arm brought back painful memories both physically and mentally. She glanced at the hand crafted transmutation circle on her forearm and sighed. "you hungry?" Travis asked walking into the kitchen of the small store. "Nah, I need to get going," Kandy said standing up stretching her sore limbs.
"Oh yeah. You determined to find that friend of yours, eh?" Travis said placing a cigar in his mouth.
