Chapter one:The City
"Come on Al, let's go!" "But brother just exactly where are we going?" "Well nowhere really, but let's go! We're in Manhattan Al, let's go!" said Ed excitedly. They were on a short three day vacation and today was the last day. Ed was more then happy to get a vacation and be away from anoying Hughes and his new stack of baby pictures and Mustang and his perverted older ways and self asbored Armstrong, lexing his muscucles with every chance he got. Truthfuly, he was happy to be away from it all. "Come on Al let's go here, to that traven,"Lovely Red".
Ed and Al ran through the busy streets of Greenwich Village. They slowed down, catching their breath as they walked to the traven. "Uh..brother " said Al tapping his older brother. "What is it?" Ed wondered. Al motioned toward the people in the traven. The were all Ishbal. Ed quickly walked inside and took a seat at the bar. "Hi, welcome to "Lovely Red", I'll be your bartender today, how may I help you?" Ed and Al tuned to see a pretty Ishbal girl who was, like Ed, a little small for her age.
Ed stared at her ruby colored eyes. "Uhh.." Ed muttered,still looking in her hypnotic red eyes. Al gave him a small tap to break him out of the trance he was in. "HEY, how old are you! Your not allowed in here." said the Ishbal girl." Ages 13 and under don't belong in here. Come on now,how old are you, huh ten?" Ed fell over."Anyway, you and your giant trash can have to go!"she said pointing to the door. Al rolled into a ball. "It's not my fault I look like this"said Al ashamed."HEY, FOR YOUR INFORMATION I HAPPEN TO BE 15 YEARS OLD!" shouted Ed. The traven became quiet again and all eyes were on Ed and Al. There were three diesel Ishbal men who walked up behind Ed. "Hey Elle, is this punk giving you a problem ?" said one of the man, cracking his oversized knuckles, glaring at Ed.
Ed looked up at the men, then turned back around. "There's no problem" said Ed." just go away and finsh your drinks." The second guy grabbed Ed. Al tried to stop the man from grabbing him but failed. The two other men blocked him. "Brother.." Turning Ed around, he said "We're not talking to you shorty, we're talking to the lady." The other guy roughly patted Ed on the head and said "Yeah, the lady." Ed glared at them and slapped the man's hand away."Listen cueball, this is between me and her, so mind your own business." replied Ed. The second guy yanked Ed by his collar.
"Screw you,you little punk! Talk'n about man's hairline is hitting below the da belt!Grr!""Hey, hey,hey uncles calm down. Everthings okay, allright. We were just joking around that all." said the bartender whose name seem to be Elle. "All right El, we were just checking on you, your pops would kill us if something was to happen to you." said the first guy. "Yea I know." she nodded. "All right uncl-" "And if this punk messes with you or tries any funny, you tell us okay?" Elle bushed while walking towards her three uncles."Allright, you can go now. NOW!" she said between anger and embrassment.And as soon as she finshed her sentace the three had walked away." I'm really sorry about that.." she said still embrassed. "Those are my dad's old rebel budies. They look out for me, especially now since there are so many soldiers around." After she spoke Ed then realized that he was a soldier and quickly hid his pocket watch. "So to make us even, hows about a free drink, okay?" Ed nodded.
"So what do you want shorty,some milk?"said Elle joking. Ed fell over yet again. She laughed and then noticed Al again "So is this your robot or something?" "No. That's my brother." he said. "Oh. OH MY! oH I'm sorry I called you a trash can before." Al turned away from her stil ashamed. "Wait a second, how is that thing your brother? Your not metal." Ed thought if he should tell her. "UH.." "Oh wait I amost forgot your drink.Hang on."she said. Ed sighed. If he didn't say anything she might figure out anyway.But then helping him from her uncles wouldn't have made much sense if she wanted him hurt. He figured he'd tell her. "I'm back!" She said with some orange juice. "So hows' that your brother?" Ed motioned her to come closer.She did. "Alchemy." he whispered in her ear.gasp"Alchemy!" she said in a excited sqeak. "SHH!SHH!Keep your voice down, you'll get me in a fight!"he whispered."Uh...let's talk about this in the back,okay?" she said. Ed nodded. "Yeah sure"
