Chapter 3

Fletcher's Crush

Fletcher sat next to the window on the train.

"You know they did this for your safety," Al said.

"Yeah, but where are we going?" Fletcher asked.

"We're going to Xenotime to visit an old friend," Al answered. Fletcher looked out the window. A town was coming up. "You'll be learning with a girl about your age," Al said. The train began to slow down.

"Are you sure you can handle two kids?" Fletcher asked. Al laughed.

"Yes, but the reason we're going to Xenotime is that Russell Tringham lives there and he is helping me teach you and the girl," Al answered.

"What's the girl's name?" Fletcher asked.

"The girl's name is Kathy," Al answered. The train pulled into the station. "Oh, Russell has a little brother named Fletcher," Al said. Fletcher hopped off the train.

"So, it seems Edward got shorter and dyed his hair," a voice said.

"Hi Russell. This is my nephew, Fletcher," Al said. Fletcher saw a girl next to Russell. He figured that it was Kathy.

'She is cute' Fletcher thought. He waved to Kathy.

"Where's Fletcher?" Al asked.

"He got a job in another town," Russell answered as the started to leave.

At the evil dude's place

"Hahahaha, Fletcher, you know the only way to stop the transmutation circle is to die," Timmy said. The cat meowed. "It seems you have a little crush," Timmy said.

At Resembool

"Ed, are you sure you want your brother teaching Fletcher?" Winry asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," Ed answered. He had his eyes on a book.

Back at Xenotime

"You can sleep on the top bunk, Fletcher," Russell said.

"Wake up is at 5 o'clock in the morning," Al said. Fletcher climbed the ladder up to the top. He was asleep in minutes.

Dream 1

Fletcher stood next to Ed.

"Dad, I have to kill myself if I'm ever going to get rid of this mark," Fletcher said.

"No, there has to be another way," Ed said.

"There isn't," a voice said. Ed looked to see who it was. There was no one there but Ed and Fletcher. Ed turned back towards Fletcher.

"Good bye Dad," Fletcher said as his trance took over him.

"No!" Ed yelled. Fletcher fell to the ground. His trance disappeared and Fletcher smiled.

"Bye Dad," Fletcher said before he died.

End Dream 1

Fletcher awoke drenched in sweat.

"Dad," Fletcher said before he fell back to sleep.
