Hi! Long time no see, dudes and dudettes! ...Well, that was weird. Okay, here's what I say to the reviews!

Jazze Al-Bhed-Girl: Yeah, but believe me, I was half asleep (and bored) when I wrote that scene!

doggyxdemonx12: Thank you! Really? You're addicted?

Poison Alchemist: Yeah, I know I need to update sooner. But have you noticed how long these chapters are? They take forever to write... And thank you!

Aquabreeze: Yah. That's what you told me. At school.

Well, here is Chapter 5 of "Who's That Girl With Ed And Al?"!

"What do you want, Ed?" Roy asked.

Ed, Al, Shadow and I were in Roy's office at Headquarters. Lieutenant Hawkeye was standing next to Roy, who was sitting at his desk, feet on top of it.

"We'd like to go back to Resembool, Colonel," Al said.

"And that means what to me?" the Colonel said.

"It means that we won't be in our hotel rooms," Ed said. "We're coming back, so keep 'em free, wouldja?"

Roy nodded. "And you'll want the tickets to be paid…?"

Ed grinned mischievously, and nodded. "You know me too well, Colonel."

We soon left Headquarters.

"Ed! Why didn't you tell me we were going to Resembool?" I yelled.

"Why? Do you know where it is?" he asked me.

I nodded. "Mm-hmm. It's on the way to where I used to live, in Tobira. It's also where Allison lives now. Her and her family." I gasped. "Can we go there after Resembool?"

"I guess," Ed said, shrugging. "I want to meet this Allison-person."

"Me, too!" Al said, jumping up and down.

We started walking back to the hotel. Roy had said that the tickets would be delivered there soon, and that we could leave later that day.

Back at the hotel, I sat on the couch in Ed and Al's room, stroking Shadow's head, while the boys shot questions about Allison at me.

"Where does she live?"

"On the outskirts of Tobira. She lives on a horse ranch."

"Does she have any siblings?"

"Her eight-year-old sister Morgan. She's so annoying!" I grinned. "My turn! This Winry," I said, "she made your automail, right, Ed?"

Ed nodded. "Yeah. She likes to say that she's the best mechanic in the world."

"Winry's obsessed with making automail," Al said. "She learned from her grandmother, Pinako."

"Does she live with Pinako?" I asked.

"Yeah," said Al. "Along with her dog, Den."

Someone knocked at the door.

"I'll get it! I'll get it!" I said, jumping up. I ran to the door and opened it, saluting at the guest and giggling. "Hello, Lieutenant Hawkeye!"

"Hello, Jessi," Riza said, handing me an envelope. "These are the tickets for your train. The train leaves at three o'clock today."

"Thank you!" I waved good bye and she left. I hopped back onto the couch. "How long does it take to get to Resembool from here?"

"Hm. What would you think, Al?" Ed asked.

Al shrugged. "About three days?"

Ed grinned. "Yeah. 'Bout that."

"Tobira's about a few hours away from Resembool, so…" I trailed off, still stroking Shadow's head. "Are we going to be walking to Tobira, then?"

Ed shrugged. "Sure. I don't care."

I grabbed my foot. "Ow! My feet!"

"Quit complaining!" Ed yelled. "Me and Al have walked longer than you have!"

"Brother!" Al said.

"Ed, I was just joking." I rolled my eyes. "What an idiot you are." I stood up and walked over to him, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you, though!"

"You know, after last night," Al said, "I don't see any reason she shouldn't love you, Ed."

"Blah blah blah blah blah," I said to Al, putting my hands on my hips. "I just want to forget about last night, okay?"

"That's probably a good idea for you, Jessi," Ed said.

"Why?" I hadn't wanted him to agree with me!

"You didn't like it, did you?" Ed frowned, then grinned evilly. "You liked it. That's the only explanation for it!" He started laughing.

I gasped. "N-n-no I didn't!" I blushed. "You're the one with the sick mind, Ed! You started it!" I crossed my arms. "You should get your mind out of the gutter," I muttered.

"It's the birds and the bees," Al said to Shadow, now sitting on his lap.

"Shut up, Al!" Ed and I yelled.

"Grr." I glared at Ed. "Okay, fine! I liked it, all right?" I gasped. "I wonder what my parents would say if they were alive!"
Ed was staring at me with a surprised look on his face, which quickly changed to an evil smile. "I knew it! I knew you liked it! He laughed again, threatening to fall off his bed.

"Okay, you, shut up!" I slapped him, my face beet red.

"Ow!" Ed's hand shot to his face where I had struck him. "So I was laughing at you; that's no damn reason to go and hit me!"

"I don't care!" I walked to my door. "Al, can you tell me when we're leaving, please?"

"Uh, sure. I guess… Al watched me as I left their room.

I flopped onto the bed, thinking about what I had said a few minutes ago. I wonder what my parents would say if they were alive!

That's why I was mad. Ed and I almost had sex together!

I could almost hear what my mother would be saying if she knew.

"Jessica, what were you thinking!" she'd say.

"Mom!" I'd look to the floor. "That's just it; I wasn't thinking."

Of course, it'd be worse when Dad would jump in; you know how fathers are about their daughter's boyfriends.

I sighed and rolled onto my back, closing my eyes. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

"Hey."

"What?"

"You should come look. That cute boy's walking, right over there, Jessi!"

"What's his name? Meadow?"

"Yeah. He's cute, but he's got a weird name."

I opened my eyes, seeing the dream, which was also a memory, fade away.

It had been early last year. Allison and I had been sitting on the hill that my house had been on. Allison's lifelong crush, Meadow Avery, had been walking by. He had waved to us, and Allison had blushed so bad her face looked purple.

I sat up and looked around. Shadow was snoozing on the couch. There was talking coming from Ed and Al's room. I stood up and pressed my ear to the door.

"I'm starting to think we should abandon her." Ed's voice sounded angry.

"Brother, she didn't mean it!" Al said, backing me up.

"But what if she did? I think that's a good enough reason to leave without her." The older brother sighed. "What do you want to do, Al?"

"Well," Al started, "if we don't bring her, then there's no reason to go back to Resembool, right?"

I took my ear away from the door. Since Ed was the older brother and more "in-charge" than Al, I figured they were going to leave without me.

Sighing, I flopped onto my bed. There was a knock on the door leading to the hall. I bounced back onto the floor, ran to the door and opened it. "Uh…" I slapped on a deceiving grin. "What are you doing here, Colonel Mustang?"

He held up a package. "I have a gift for you."

"A gift. For me." I took the box and shook it. "Okay, one: why? And two: what is it?"

Roy obviously decided to answer my second question, a twinkle in his eye and a "manly look" on his face. "A miniskirt!"

I dropped the box. "Ew, ew, ew! I hate miniskirts! Why the hell a miniskirt?"

Ed and Al must have heard. Ed ran though the connecting door, Al following.

"Mustang! What the hell did you do to her!" Ed yelled.

"Ed, he gave me a miniskirt!"

Ew. Miniskirts are just too short. I've hated them ever since Allison got one for her eleventh birthday. She tried it on, and…well, after that, she didn't like them, either. Anyway…

I threw my arms around Ed's neck. I felt her could protect me from the "miniskirt horror". "Ed, make it go away!"

Ed pushed me away, but smiled to indicate that he didn't hate me. He picked up the box and handed it to Roy. "Why don't you give this to Lieutenant Hawkeye?"

Roy sighed. "I already tried that."

"And, instead, you try and give it to me." I crossed my arms. "You're twenty-eight. I'm thirteen. See the difference?" I grinned. "Besides, I have a boyfriend." I hugged Ed.

He smiled. "So you didn't mean to slap me?"

"No. I'm sorry, Ed." I hugged him tighter. "I made that comment about what my parents would have thought about last night—"

"Ooh! What happened last night, Ed?" Roy asked, smirking.

"Shut up!" I yelled. "Anyway, I kind of got in a rage, and I'm sorry I slapped you. I didn't mean it."

We pulled away, and Ed quickly kissed me on the cheek.

"Aw, they made up," said Al, petting Shadow on the couch.

Roy looked at his pocket watch. "I think I should be going."

"Good idea." Wait a sec… I thought. I grabbed Roy's pocket watch. "Are you a State Alchemist, Roy?"

"Yeah." He grinned smugly. "The Flame Alchemist."

"Okay, that's all nice, Colonel," Ed said, shoving him out the door, "but it's almost three o'clock."

With Roy gone, Ed told me to start packing. He had bought me a bunch of outfits and pajamas, and a suitcase.

When I was done packing, I brought my suitcase into the hall, Shadow following me.

Ed and Al were all ready in the hall.

"Hey, what took you so—" Ed started. He was interrupted by Al pushing him, obviously trying to cut him off.

"Ed, what time is it?" I whined. "I wanna go soon!"
Ed looked at his pocket watch. "It's two thirty. I still think we should get there pretty soon, though."

I giggled. "Okay." I linked my arm with his as we started walking down the stairs.

Al, who was behind us, carrying Shadow, leaned forward and whispered into Ed's ear, "Remember, Ed: Don't screw this up."

Thank God for Al. I don't know whether he said that to make me happy or to keep Ed from getting hurt. I was beginning to ask why a girl hadn't come around to saying she loved him. I could be making him jealous!

I leaned on Ed. "Ed," I whispered, "we gotta find a girlfriend for Al."

"Anyone come to your mind?" Ed asked.

"Hm." I thought for a minute. "No, but now that I think about it, we gotta go say goodbye to the Hughes!"

I grabbed Ed's hand and started pulling him in the direction of the Hughes home.

"Brother! Wait for us!" Al said, clanking behind us.

"You're leaving? Where are you going?" asked Hughes.

We were sitting in the Hughes home, on a couch across from Hughes, who was also sitting on a couch.

"Resembool and Tobira!" I grinned. "I can't wait to go!"

Mrs. Hughes walked into the room. Elicia, Hughes' daughter, was behind her.

"Mommy, it's Ed and Al!" The little girl ran to Ed and jumped on his lap. "Hey, Mommy, who's this lady?"

Since Hughes was obsessed about his daughter, I had seen bunches of pictures of her, but I had never seen her in person.

"I'm no lady, Elicia!" I said, moving her from Ed's lap to mine. "I'm Jessi, Ed's girlfriend."

"Oh…" She smiled at me. "Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to finally meet you, too, Elicia."

Ed pulled out his pocket watch. "I think we should go now."

"Bye!" we called, as we left the house. Elicia was waving goodbye to us; I was glad I got to finally meet her!

As we neared the station, I grabbed Ed's hand. "You like horses, right?"

"Of course." He pulled his hand out of my grasp.

"He's just not much of a horseback rider," Al said, a little hint of him trying to embarrass his brother in his voice.

"I'm sure you two will like Allison," I said. "She's a bit of a tomboy."

Later, on the train, I was sitting next to Al, Shadow next to Ed. I was beginning to feel warm, so I had asked Al if I could lay my head on his armor. He didn't mind.

To top that, I was beginning to feel sleepy.

"Ed, are we there yet?" I whined.

He rolled his eyes. "It takes three days to get there. And we just got on."

He must be in a bad mood, I thought. I'll just act as sickly as possible to make him feel bad. I fake-coughed. "I'm going to take a nap, okay?" I smiled.

"Whatever." Ed turned and stared out the window.

I yawned. "Al, will you wake me up when we get there?"

Al nodded. "Sure!"

He's so sweet, I thought. Where does he get that kindness from? I yawned again and closed my eyes.

I dozed for a few minutes, hearing the sound of silence in the, again, empty train car. Finally, I fell asleep.

Wow. I can't believe it took that long to write. Anyway, please R&R!
