It's fun to put together a story. Thank you for reviewing!

disclaimer: I own DVD's and pics, but not fullmetal alchemist.

Ch.2 Tears of Sorrow,Hatred, and Happiness

It was the first gift I got since I was five. "Thank you." said I. "Your welcome." said Ed. "So, Ed," said I blushing, "can you teach me how to do alchemy?" Ed saw her blush and said "Sure." He looked around for a piece of paper and a pen. "Okay," he started when he found them. He then drew a circle. "This is called a transmutation circle." said Ed. "You see," Ed began, "it turns something into something else, like the necklace." he added.

"Oh,"I said. "But, you did it without a circle."I exclaimed. Ed said "Well, that's because--" Then the nurse came in and said "A call for Edward Elric." Ed turned around and asked, "Who's calling?" The nurse said "Colonel Mustang." Ed walked out of the room with the nurse. Well, I thought, I guess I could try alchemy, but Ed will need to tell me how. Wait a minute! I thought, Ed left his book here. I know I shouldn't look in it, but I want to know how! I grabbed the book and sat down.

(((Space)))

"So, Ed," Mustang began, "I have another assignment for you." Ed wasn't paying attention to him though. He was wondering if Sarai had a crush on him. Well it would figure. He thought, I mean, she blushed when she asked to learn alchemy! "ED!" Mustang yelled. "Yeow! What?"Ed shouted. Mustang then asked in a calmer tone, "Are you ready for your next assingment?" Ed thought, Ready is not the word.

"Yeah, so what is it?" asked Ed. "The person you caught has a gang in Lyore. You must catch them, but be careful. they have a whole building full of artillary." Exclaimed Mustang. "No problem, but tell me colonel," Ed began. "Yes?" Mustang asked. "What will we do with Sarai?" Mustang replied, "You will have to bring her with you, since you saved her and caught that guy. "What?" Ed shouted, "She doesn't even know how to do alchemy! What help will she be!" He then stopped. He looked at Sarai's room. She was in the doorway ready to burst into tears. "I'll have to call you back, later." he said without taking his eyes off her.He then hung up the phone.

(((Space)))

I can't believe it! I thought, feeling tears well up in my eyes."Sarai!" Ed said "Leave me alone!" I said tears falling. Then I ran into my room, locked the door and cried.I thought, He will use alchemy to go through the door, I just know it! I was right. I quickly opened the window and dived under the bed.

I quickly swallowed my tears as Ed came through the door. I then used the little bit of alchemy I learned from his book. I drew a circle on the floor and with faith, transmuted a sheet out of dust. luckily Ed was looking out the window, so he didn't see the flash. I then quickly as I saw Ed look under the bed, but as far as I could see a look of fear crossed Ed's face.

He then left the room grabbing his book. After he transmuted the door, I waited five minutes before coming out from under the bed. I then realized I wouldn't learn alchemy without his book. I don't want to go with him but I have to. I thought. I looked out the window to see Ed leaving the building. This isn't suicide I told myself, this is payback! Then I jumped out the window lunging towards Ed.

(((Space)))

Now what can I do? Ed thought. He was wondering where she might have gone. And it was thanks to my big mouth that Sarai is missing. He thought to himself. Then a great force hit him from behind and knocked him across the street. When he got up and turned around he was shocked. Sarai was standing in front of him. She stormed up to him and shouted, "Any more insulting and you will be in for a world of hurt!" She then backed off and Ed then shouted, "Next time, watch where the hell you're going!"

Ed stared at her for a few minutes and then exclaimed, "I forgot about Al!" He went to go get Al, got him, and he, Sarai, and Al went to the train station. "Okay, Sarai you need to practice alchemy while Al and I get tickets for the train." Ed said. "How about me and Al go get the train tickets while you stay here?" Sarai said sarcasticaly. "Whatever." Ed said.

(((Space)))

Let's see, if I'm going to travel with Ed, he will need a serious attitude adjustment. I thought."Sarai?" Al asked. "Yeah?" I replied. "Please don't think badly of Ed, he is really a good guy." Al said. Sure, I won't think badly of a guy who insults girls on the phone to a colonel, especially when the girl is right nextdoor and can here everything he's saying. I thought.

"Hey, what's your name anyway?" I asked. "Oh, he didn't tell you?" Al asked. I shook my head. "Well, my name is Alphonse, but you can call me Al." he explained. "There's the ticket booth." I said. We got our tickets and went back to the bench where Ed was sitting. "He fell asleep pretty fast." I said. "Well, we have to board the train now." Al said. "Well, I'll wake him up." I replied.

"Ed, wake up." I shouted at him. He then stood up and asked, "Is it boarding time yet?" "Yes, and if we don't hurry up we will miss it!" I yelled. I then handed him his money and dragged him off the bench. "Let me go!" Ed yelled at me and I let go of his collar. "I get the point!" Ed yelled at me again as he stood up. "Well, then let's go." I said calmly and boarded the train.

(((Space)))

"What's her problem?" Ed asked Al. "I don't know." Al replied and boarded the train. What an attitude. Ed thought as he boarded the train.

Honestly, I thought it was sorta bad. Well, the next chapter will be shorter. Please Review!
