Chapter 2: "I find Alchemy so fascinating!"( Excuse spelling errors)
Elle, Edward, and Al walked into a dark and medium sized room complete with a sofa and mini bar. Also, there were chairs piled around. Elle turned on a switch which filled the room with a golden light. "Sit down." said Elle as she took out a chair for Ed. Ed sat down while watching Elle pull out a chair for herself and sit down. "Oh, before we talk, we should be properly introduced. I'm Elle. Elle Monay." she said, holding out a hand. "Edward Elric." said Ed while shaking her hand. Elle smiled. "Now that's settled, so what's this about Alchemy?"
Ed tried to find the right words. "Oh, eh... well Al and I got into a... uh.. well an accident and Al lost his body and I lost my arm and leg." He said, pulling up his sleeve to show her his armored arm. "So I used alchemy to put his soul in the armor." Elle nodded "Ah. What kind of accident ?" Ed looked away. "I'd rather not talk about it." "Oh. I see." she said. "Anyway, you can see the Alchemic sign inside of Al's armor." Elle's face litup. "Really? Where?" she sqeaked inpatiently. "Under his head." Elle hopped out of her seat and walked over to Al.
She put a chair infront of Al to boost herself up to Al's head. She touched his head. "Uh... may I?" Al nodded. Elle grabed the armored head and lifted upward. There, she noticed the Alchemic sign was made from thick blood. The energy she had gotten from looking at the Alchemic sign had made her so excited that she nearly dropped Al's head. "Oh my! What a work of art!" she said as she peered her head inside of Al's body. "HELLLOOOOOOO." she called. "HELLLOOOOOOO." answered the echo of her voice. She jummped when she heard the sound of Al's voice, asking her to put his head back on his body. Which she did, then hopped of the chair and returned to Ed. He rised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
"You're an Ishbal. I never saw an Ishbal girl into Alchemy before." "Oh, I absolutely adore Alchemy! I find Alchemy so fascinating!" she said nearly shouting, unable to sit. "I've been practing Alchemy since I was six, but I never dare tried anything as big as Al." Al looked up. "'As big?"' repreated Al. He then curled up yet again into a ball. "You know its not my fault I'm big." " Oh, sorry. What I meant was I never tried anything with humans. " she corrected herself.
"One day though, I'm gonna leave this place and become a State Alchemist. It's my dream, you know. That's one reason why I started to study Alchemy." "Oh ." said Ed, not really shocked by this. "For three reasons really. One: Because it's my dream. Two: Because.. " she paused. Her face litup in a bright crimson. She smiled with closed eyes. Sadly, Ed knew where this was going. "Two: I want to meet Lieutentant Colonel Roy Mustang!" Her eyes opened, which had little red hearts fluttering out. Ed fell over with a massive sweatdrop beind his head. He had thought right.
She wouldn't be so happy if she knew the real reason why her beloved Mustang joined the military.thought Ed. He watched Elle jump around like a fool with hearts coming out of her eyes. He sighed. "So what's the third reason ?" Elle stoped. "The third?.. Oh, to help my pops. He's sick. Good-for-nothing-man." She said. Ed couldn't help but look up at her. "I'm...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." " Aw nothin' to to worry about. All I'm doing is helping the old fart . " she said putting on a happy smile, but like a glass window, Ed saw right through it. "You shouldn't say that about your Dad." said Ed. Elle looked up. "You don't know my Dad."
They were quiet for a couple of minutes. She sat infront of Edward again, looking down when something caught her eye. She looked down and saw his pocket watch. "What's that?" she said, pointing to the watch. "Oh this.." he said as he unlached the the watch from his side. "..Uh nothing." But it didn't seem like 'nothing' to Elle. She grabed the watch from him, smiling. "It's not 'nothing' to me." She examined the watch very carefully. "Did you steal this?" questioned Elle.
"NO!" answered Ed. "Are you sure? You do realize that this is a military pocket watch? Given ONLY to qualified Alhemist in the military. Look Ed, I can see that your good, but your not that good to get in the military!" "It's mine okay. I'm in the-" "Military?" said Elle, cutting him off. "That's impossible. Number one : your not an adult and ... and .. it's impossible for a fifteen year old to be in the military!" said Elle, walking toward the minibar taking out an apple and walked back. "Look I'm telling the truth and I don't need to explain myself to you." said Ed taking back his pocket watch. Elle took a bite of the the apple, chewed and shallowed before asking "Are you serious?" Ed nodded. "Ask Al and he doesn't lie." She looked at Al, then she turned back to Ed.
"Sooo.. If you are who you say you are, chances are that you've met Lieutentant colonel Mustang, right?" "Yeah, I met him." Elle excitely jumped up, nearly knocking Ed over. "Prove it. Take me to become a State Alchemist! Oh, and to meet the colonel." she said winking at Ed. He sighed. "Fine, but I don't know if you want to take that test. It's differcult." "I don't care! Just having the experience is more than enough for me. Besides, what I really want is to do is see Mustang." said Elle, blushing. "So, well what are we waiting for!" smiled Elle. She grabed Ed by the arm and walked out the back door, Al following beind them ." Uh.. WAIT A SECOND I'M STILL ON VACATION !" shouted Ed. Elle stoped dead in her tracks.
"But then..." Elle looked up at Ed. "In order to do this, we'd have to... talk to my... my Dad."
END OF CHAPTER TWO
So what'd you think ? HUH, HUH, HUH? To tell you truth, I didn't really like the beginning of this chapter too much but after doing some editing, I didn't hate so much!
