Chapter Two: Bloody's Fear and Valentine's Story

"Oh, they are with Auntie Pinako," Winry answered. "Sometimes I wonder if they will ever get the proper training with Valentine begging for Alchemy and Bloody accepting auto mail. Do you think you could take Valentine on one of your missions or keep her here in Central for training?"

"No, it is too dangerous for her," Ed answered. "Al can train her and I can get Maria Ross to look over her. I mean, Ross will be just like you, Winry. Mother hen." Winry glared at him for a moment.

"Fine, where is she? I have to speak with her first," Winry said.

"I heard my name," a voice said behind her. Winry turned around. Maria Ross stood there on the steps. "I was just about to deliver some information that is of highly importance to Mustang."

"I was wondering if you can watch over Ed's daughter for him when he and Al are on their missions," Winry said. Ross shrugged.

"I guess I can. I have nothing better to do than to serve Edward Elric," Ross said, saluting to Al and Ed. "It is my job after all." Winry thanked her and Ross continued on into the Main Central Building.

"Valentine will be arriving in two days then. Al, be waiting for her. Ed, you better see her before disappearing again," Winry warned, gripping her wrench in her hand. Ed shrugged as Winry stormed away.

"Did I ever agree to training?" Al asked. Ed shook his head.

Valentine arrived two days later just like Winry had said she would. Ed and Al waited in the train station for her. When she saw them, she ran over to them and gave her uncle and father each a hug. There was some Winry in her. "Thank you," she said, calmly. She picked up her suitcase and followed Ed and Al to their apartment.

When they arrived, Valentine place her suitcase by the door. Al noticed her gloves. Just like Ed's only black and white. Valentine caught him looking at her gloves. "Made them myself out of old gloves of Aunt Pinako. Just that there weren't enough white ones or black ones," Valentine said.

"They are still pretty," Al commented. Valentine nodded and looked at them. Al knew that they helped conceal her auto mail left arm.

"I wish that I didn't lose my arm," Valentine muttered. Al flinched. She lost it a couple years ago when she fell from her window. Her arm had gotten caught in the swinging window and was ripped from her. It wasn't as bad as Ed's was since she had part of her upper arm left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Bloody was having a hard time accepting that Valentine was going to central while he still couldn't go to Rush Valley. Valentine was his sister and best friend. She was tougher like their father and kept secrets to grave. Bloody was more like Winry except he looked like going to be taller Ed with Winry's eyes. Valentine was more like Ed, but she looked like a going to be shorter Winry with Ed's eyes.

Bloody ran from room to room, looking for his secret keeper. She was not there. "Mom, where is Valentine?" Bloody yelled. Winry patted his shoulder, making him jump.

"She went away to study alchemy," Winry explained for the hundredth time that morning.

"I still have to go to school," Bloody mumbled. Winry glared at him.

"She still does too. She is just getting a extra boost in her alchemy." Bloody shivered in fear. When she was mad, she always made threats and now they might come true. "She loves alchemy as much as you love auto mail. Just accept it and move on." Winry sighed. "She needs to be in Central like you need to be here."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valentine waited as patient as she could on the couch for her uncle to come back from talking to General Roy Mustang. She watched her father pace the room. It was the wondering about what name Al would get that made them nervous. Ed was the Fullmetal Alchemist. What would Al be?

Al walked in with a smile on his face. Valentine jumped up. She wanted to know what his alchemist name was as much as her father did. "I did it! I'm now the Steel Alchemist!" Al shouted with joy. Valentine smiled. She wondered what her name would be if she took the test. Maybe she could break her father's record of being the youngest alchemist to pass the test.

"I want to pass the test, too," Valentine said. Ed looked at her in shock.

"You don't pass that test now," Ed said. "You wouldn't make it."

"I would with proper training and studying like you did," Valentine snapped.

"Make sure to research also," Al whispered.

"Yeah right. No one has broken my record yet and my record with stay there until time ends. The military doesn't take care of children," Ed said. Valentine glared at him.

"I'm not a child. I'm a young lady. I also happened to know your past and how you got your arm. I have one myself," Valentine hissed.

"What?" Ed asked. Winry didn't tell him this. How did she get her arm?

"How did you manage that?" Al asked, innocently although he knew.

"Mom said she told you," Valentine said.

"I never heard," Ed yelled. "How did it happen!"

"I was sitting on the window sill of my bedroom when I fell. I only fell because I was trying to get to the bullies who were once again bullying the weak Bloody. The window swung shut on my wrist and I fell with great pain. The last thing I remember is screaming and seeing most of my arm swinging in the wind from the window. I woke up in bed with Mom telling me that I broke my arm which caused me to have half of upper arm remaining," Valentine explained. She rolled up her left sleeve to reveal the auto mail.

"When did this happen?" Ed asked, examining the auto mail.

"Two years ago when I was eight," Valentine answered.

"O God!" Ed yelled.
