Disclaimer: I Do Not own Full Metal Alchemist, but I do own the character Alchemy.

Note: Sorry I haven't made a new chapter in a long time, first I had to move, then the computer wouldn't turn on, and to top it all off the Internet wouldn't work!

Plus, I took some time to develop some new stories: His Angel in the InuYasha section, Harry Potter and the Soul of Gryffindor in the Harry Potter section, Wherever the Wind Takes Me in the s-CRY-ed section, and my personal fave Two Worlds in the Code Lyoko section. These stories will be coming out soon. Well, anyway, enjoy!

Last time on Clouded Dreams...

"How would you two like to become partners in the military?" Hawkeye asked

"Sounds great!"

"You should get some rest, Alchemy." Maes stated "Tomorrow's your big day!"

Part One

Hearts Bloom

Ch. Six

A Pink Star

Al had long fallen asleep. The night was beautiful and quiet. From the Elric brothers' room hundreds of thousands of stars could be seen. Ed sat on their couch. He was lost, deep in thought, staring at a picture of him, Al, and…Their mother. It was from when they were younger.

"Hello again." It was the pink haired girl. This time, she wore a short, flowing blue dress, the sleeves were longer than the bottom. Two blue see through laces seemed to be floating behind her.

Ed sat the picture down. "Hey, you're that girl I met last night!" Ed rushed to the window sill.

"I am pleased that you remembered me." She told him.

"So… I'm not dreaming…Right?" For some odd reason, Ed felt calm around this girl.

"This is not a dream; this is as real as can be." She giggled "At night, most things seem unreal, but they might or might not be." The girl touched Ed's cheek lightly with her hand. Ed pulled away, uncertain about this entire thing.

"It is your decision to make; do you think this is real?"

Ed nodded. "What's your name?" Ed wondered

"I will tell you, in due time." She answered

"Why, of all people, why do you visit…Me?"

"Because you are different from the others. There is something more about you, something mysterious, something charming."

Ed didn't know what to say about this. Before he could even try to think of something to say, the girl seized him by the arm and pulled him out the window. The cloud under her expanded enough for them to sit down. It began to float higher and higher into the air.

"Stars…" The pink haired girl stated "They're so mysterious… So close, yet so far...So many people just want to reach out and touch one, yet they can't. They, like the Sun and the Moon, watch over us, helping to guide those who are lost…
"They have helped me so many times… Guiding my lost Soul to safety…"

Ed stared at her as she stared at the Stars. "Stars are mysterious. But why wonder so much about them? They've never helped me or Al at all."

The strange girl smiled. "The Stars work in mysterious ways, for help and guidance, you must ask them."

She stood up. The strange girl suddenly jumped off the cloud! "Wait!" Ed yelled. He peered over the side to see where she had landed. But her body seemed to have vanished into thin air.

A Star in the distance was falling…It shined brightly with a mixture of colors, strange even for a Star. Most of which were not solid. Ed looked at it and suddenly noticed that it was heading straight for him. It was already too close to get away or block… All he could do was wait for it to come…

But instead of felling intense heat, Ed was being covered in sheets of Rainbow colored Mist. The Star seemed to be circling around him. It hovered a few feet above him before exploding into a million bright colors. And out from the center of the lights came the pink haired girl, her hair twirling around her. She gently landed beside Ed.

"How did you do that?" Ed asked

"When I jumped off my cloud, I asked the Stars to save me. It's something I like to call a Star Prayer. Now, enough of this, you should get back to your room."

The cloud suddenly dropped about a hundred feet. They were right outside of Ed and Al's room. Ed jumped back in.

The strange girl leaned down and gently kissed him on the cheek. Ed's eyes shot wide open in surprise. "Good night Edward Elric…" The girl through powder in his face and he drifted peacefully into sleep...

Next time on Clouded Dreams…

Al here,

Alchemy goes to take her vigorous State Alchemist test. Can she pass it? And what happens when it goes horribly wrong? Will she be able to fix it?
