Chapter Three

A New Companion

Around an hour later, they were half way there. "Are you sure this is the right way Alexis?' Asked Al. She shrugged. "It should be, not very sure though." Ed glared. "You're not very sure! You're kidding me!" She shook her head, then nodded, then shrugged. "Again, I'm not sure." At the sound out this Ed had a tick mark the size of Kyoto! She blinked, and shook her head, sweatdropping. "Ok! Ok! I was only kidding! This is the right way I swear!" "GOOD!"

"God, for someone so short he has a big mouth."

"I'M NOT SHORT DAMNIT!"

"Yeah...you kinda are."

"I AM N-"

"Are to!"

"AM NOT!"

"Get over it shrimp! You're short!"

"You're shorter than me!"

She fumed. "By one damn inch!"

"But an inch is an inch!"

"Well you would know! Considering that's your height!"

"It is not!"

Al surprisingly had a huge tick mark on his head. "Brother! Alexis! Please stop fighting! It's giving me a headache!"

She sighed. "Ok Al, sorry." He smiled. "It's ok Alexis." She blinked and stopped for a second. "Wait guys, we need to stop somewhere first, i know someone who can help!" Ed sighed. "If he's anything like you I don't want to meet him!" She just took her hand and swiped it to Ed's head. "IF SHE'S anything like me we'll get this done quicker!" He just huffed. "Whatever." Alexis rolled her eyes, though not really caring what he thought. "God you're hopeless!" Ed fumed up "And you think you're a pick nick?"
She glared at him. "Shut it pipsqueak!"

"IMNOTSHORT!"

She glared at him, he glared right back, though neither of them finding any of this funny Al broke the glares. "Brother! Alexis-Chan! Look!" Both teenagers shifted their gazes towards where Al was pointing; Alexis smirked and closed her eyes with a chuckle. "We're here." She could feel Al raise an eyebrow at her "Here?" She nodded. "Yes, this is where my friend lives, the one we might need with this." Ed rolled his eyes. "Great..."

She sighed at his expression. "Get over it Ed." Al laughed. "So Alexis, what is your friend's name anyways?" She blinked. "Oh, her name? Her name is Nel. She lives in this town." Al nodded. " Ok Alexis-Chan, where do we start looking for her?" Alexis rubbed her chin. "Well, I would have to say we would find her around the saloon." "She drinks!" Yelled Al, a bit surprised. But all she did was sigh. "No Al, she doesn't drink, she just goes there for the card games." Ed's eyes widened. "Card games!"

She sighed again. "Yes, but we can't stay long, we just need to get her and get out."

"You're no fun."

"Hey now, you don't know that."

Ed blushed about ten shades of red. While Alexis chuckled at him, Al had no idea what she ment.
Again she sighed an ran into the saloon close bye, along with the Elric brothers close behind.
Running into someone she rubbed her head, and scowled on finding who it was. "Why hello there Lex-Chan, what are you doin' here?"
She glared. "I'm looking for Nel...by the way, have you seen her anywhere?" He nodded. "Yep, she's over at the counter" Alexis sighed and pushed him away as she sat by Nel. "Hiya Nel!"

"now what do you w-...Lex-Chan!" Yelled Nel, Alexis smiled Wide. "HI NEL!" "Dude! What are you doing here!"
She laughed. "I came to ask a favor! See now I'm teamed up with this runt and his little brother...and we're tracking that baka of a thief!" She blinked. "And you need my help?" Alexis nodded. "Yep! So will ya?" She asked, Nel nodded and stood. "Yes, I'd be glad to!" And with those works Alexis grabbed Ed from the poker game he was playing, and Al followed.

"So this is your friend you told us about Alexis-Chan?" She nodded. "Yep! Now we can get this done right!"
Ed mushroom sighed. "Why me..." Nel glared. "Oh stop your whining runt!"
Ed blew up. "WHOAREYOUCALLINGSOSHORTHENEEDSTORIDEONARATTOGETANYWHERE!" Nel went wide-eyed. "Wow... runt is loud..."

Alexis nodded in agreement, earning a HUGE tick mark from Edward
