Hello people, heres a new chapter as promised.

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA

Lady Meka: Thanks. I have decided that Roy will be either 22 or 23. He's just too cute to be in his 30's

i love athrun: Thank you and here's another chapter.

Roy rubbed his eyes to get the last bit of sleep out of them. He took out his state alchemist pocket watch to check the time, 11:58p.m. They weren't suppose to get to the station till 5:00a.m. and then they still would have some walking to do.

He looked at Ed who was sleeping peacefully on the bench across from him. He then looked next to him where Amie was sleeping only to find blue eyes staring into black.

"Morning."

Roy looked back at his pocket watch and sure enough it was 12:00a.m. September 3rd.

"Morning." He watched as Amie took the package the Fuhrer gave her out of her pocket and started to read the note. He looked over at the note and read it to himself.

Amie,

I know you'll probably get me for this later

but I figured I had to get you something.

I know you don't like to celebrate today

and I understand that but please except

this gift. It's not much but I figured you'd

want it.

Take care and Happy Birthday,

Fuhrer

Roy looked at Amie who had caught him reading her note. She just looked back down at her package and opened it.

In the package was a small picture of a man and a woman smiling at them. The man had black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a military uniform and had the state alchemist watch dangling out of his pocket. The woman had brown hair and hazel eyes. She too had on a military uniform and a state alchemist watch dangling from her pocket.

"Your parents were state alchemists."

Amie put the picture in one of the pockets on the inside of her cloak. "Ya."

"What happened to them?" He was on a roll he might as well push his luck.

"You want the full story?" Roy nodded. Amie sighed. "My parents were assigned to protect an object for the military."

"What was it?"

"Classified."

Roy gave her an odd look. He was a colonel damn it. If a seventeen year old girl could know why couldn't he?

"Anyway don't ask me why but they had my parents keep it at our house. I guess they thought it was safer or something. Anyway someone caught wind of it. I was out of the house at the time and when I came back I was able to escape without getting caught. My parents weren't so lucky." Images of her parents, broken and bloody lying on the floor passed through her mind and she quickly forced them out of her head.

"What happened to your sister?"

"She died that night as well."

"Sorry."

"Not your fault."

They sat there in silence for awhile. Something was still nagging at his mind. "How long ago?"

"Seven years."

I know you don't like to celebrate today..

"They died on your Birthday didn't they?" He was answered by silence as Amie just continued to stare out the window.

:Sniff: how sad. She's really had a tough life. Anyway sorry it's so short. :looks behind her only to see her algebra book hovering over her shoulder:
Ya I should probably go do my homework. I'll update as soon as I can. Please R&R.
