♥3 years later♥
"It's been three years and no luck of finding the philosopher's stone, only fakes and frauds. Can you believe that?" Ed said dragging his feet through the dirt path with his suit case in one hand talking to Al. "Brother Look." Al said pointing to the town in front of them. "Finally! We've been walking for hours." Ed exclaimed exhaling relieved. They entered the town and looked around, "Doesn't this look a little familiar to you Ed?" Al asked unsure. "I don't know but let's get some food I'm staving." Ed said straightening up and looking around. As they turned the corner they heard a scream in the distance, "Come on!" Ed yelled as they ran towards it they stopped seeing a guy with a gun holding it to some ladies head. Ed ran towards her but the guy turned slightly, his hand shaking steadily "Stop or I'll shoot!" he yelled. Ed stopped immediately, and then a girl with her hair tied and in a long cloak back came out of the crowd and walked towards him.
"Didn't you here what I said! Stop or I'll shoot!" he yelled holding the gun at her now. She looked up at him and shook her head, "Shoot me then." She said walking forward some more, he pulled the trigger to the gun and she raised her hand creating a thick layer of ice, the man kept shooting he succeeded in shooting a hole in the ice, the bullet flew in her cloak ripping a hole in it, she ducked down a little "Shit!" he finally stopped and, 'click' "Oh no…" 'Click click click' he was out of bullets. She waved her hands and the ice melted, she quickly ripped her cloak off and threw the lady to the side and the gun down. The older women crawled away quickly. "Weaponless I see." She said with laughter in her voice. "I don't need a weapon to beat you." He said charging toward her he swung for her face but he missed she swung around and kneed him in the stomach. He grabbed her hair and she fell back a little but he only pulled out her scrunchi. That's when Ed ran forward, and started hitting the guy around. The girl shook her hair out of her face and watched as Ed beat up the man. Ed swung one last time and the guy fell to the ground.
"Excuse you! No body asked for your help!" the girl yelled. Ed turned around, "Well I helped anyways! You could at least say thanks." He yelled feeling under appreciated. "Look shorty I don't have to…!" "I'm not short!" Ed yelled tackling her to ground, the rolled around a little and the girl kicked him off then swung her legs back and forward pushing her self up. Al then grabbed Ed from continuing on, "Brother stop." Al said holding his arms stopping him from going any where.
The girl relaxed and stared at Al and Ed, "I know you, don't I?" she asked walking towards them, then it hit her like an arrow, "Ed and Al?" she exclaimed happily. They both nodded. She squealed excited and ran towards Ed landing on top of him giving him a hug, "I've missed you guys so much!" Ed turned red and pushed her off of him, "Who are you?" He asked standing up. "Hello! It's me…Twilight." Ed's mouth dropped, "You look really different." He said shocked. "I know I grew up," "I can tell." He said smiling a little. She gave a weak laugh, "So, when'd you get taller?" she teased. "Well it has been 3 years since we've last seen each other." "I know. It's just kind of weird being shorter then someone that use to be so used to be really short for a guy." Ed's eye twitched, but he blew it off with a laugh. "I guess so." "Oh and by the way, I wasn't calling you short. You know right before you tackled me." She said raising her eyebrow a little and smiling. Ed blushed embarrassed "Oh." "So how have you been Al?" she asked turning to him. "Fine, what about you?" She shook her head, "Great I made new friends when you guys left…after what happened." She said away. There was a bit of an awkward silence for a moment, "Well anyways! Have you guys found what you're looking for yet?" she asked changing the subject. They looked up at each other then to her, "No, not yet." Ed said first. "Oh, well I hope you find it soon." She said smiling again. "Yea, same here." Al said looking down. "Well I guess we better get going. It was nice running into you again Twilight." Ed said walking past her with Al behind him. Twilight turned around and watched them leave she shook her head, "Wait!" Ed stopped and looked at her. "I want to go with you two!...Please." she said giving him puppy dog eyes and sticking out her bottom lip. Ed stared at her for a moment and smiled, he waved his hand sending a motion to come on. Twilight smiled and ran towards Ed and Al, "So where to?" she asked. "Tringhji." Ed said looking forward 'Looks like we have a new addition to the team' Ed thought happily. "Alright." They all walked down the dirt road to the next town and never looked back.
