Author's Note: Sorry for the slow update! It was hard, considering I've been grounded for a while...glares at mom So my friend, Aria (or at least in spirit), is posting this for me, and every chapter up to the last one I wrote, which so far is 16. Cheers for her!

"Fullmetal, you take her. I'll get this one." Roy stated, grabbing Aria.

"Fine by me. Meet you two back here in two hours." Ed replied, steering Eternity away. She smiled, wondering exactly how Aria felt being the one that Roy chose to get clothes with.

"Look at this!" Ed called suddenly, jostling her from her thoughts. With a large grin, he held up a pink shirt that read "I 3 everyone". "It's perfect!"

"No." Eternity said flatly. "I don't love everyone, first of all. Second of all, this is the prep section." She motioned to the abundance of pink. "Come on." Without stopping to think about who she was talking to, she walked to the dark section and found too much stuff that she liked to ever be done with that section. Yet, to her surprise, Ed told her that she could have anything she wanted. He helped her decide when she just refused to take any more, and she seemed to "click" with him. She didn't feel nervous or shy at all, even though she had known this boy as the boy that she thought was hott for so long. She even laughed at his jokes and told some of her own. They were having a great time--that is, until it came time to try things on.

"Let me see them!" Ed pleaded from the other side of the dressing room door.

"Ed, I'm 15. I'm old enough to tell for myself whether something fits or not." Eternity told him teasingly. There was a silence on the other side.

"Please?" He asked finally, his voice laden with sweetness and cuteness. How could she resist? She emerged from the room in a black shirt with the words "I fucking hate you...Have a nice day )" on it and black jeans. "That looks great!" Ed exclaimed, making Eternity blush in embarassment.

"Can I change back now?" She asked, returning to the room to change back into her normal clothes. They consisted of an Evanescence shirt and black jeans, so she didn't look that different leaving again.

"Who is that, anyway?" Ed asked, pointing to her shirt. She gaped at him.

"Amy Lee! She's only the best female singer in the entire world!" She exclaimed. "At least, in our world." She sang softly.

Playground school bell rings again

Rain clouds come to play again

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello

I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to

Hello

Ed stared at her until she turned red. "What?"

"That was...beautiful," He breathed. Eternity rubbed the back of her neck.

"It wasn't that good," She told him. "Aria can sing better, and Amy Lee is a phenomenal singer." He shook his head.

"Singing was never this popular here...and I've never heard something like that before."

"You should hear Aria and I singing together sometime," Eternity said. "We make a good team."

"We better get going back...it's almost time." Ed told her. She nodded and they headed back together, Eternity's head barely peeking over the top of the clothes.
