FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST 1
Keeping it together but Falling Apart

I waited for the train that was sort of running late to arrive. I lost her, the one person i was closest to, the one person i had and cared about, shes gone and I have made many sacrifices i looked at my gloved left hand and shuddered at the memory, but still i will continue. I think to myself, as the train finally did arrive. I had a expressionless face on and waited for the train to stop. I sighed and grabbed my suitcase only to wait in line to board the train. I boarded the train my black boots clanking on the floor. Greeeeat just my luck every damn seat nearly full. FInally i made my way to the back of the train and found a seat alone across from aboy with a black outfit and red jacket, along with him would be what I like to call a metal tin can even though i knew from first glance what the poor thing was. I listened to their pointless conversation.

"Brother, i should become a state alchemist too so that way you wont hav--"

"No, Al its bad enough that one of us has to be a dog of the state besides you remember the promise we made. We have to find the Philosophers stone and turn things back to the way it used to be..."

"Yes brother...i cant ever forget that promise."

Philosophers Stone? Well i see they are in for a lot and i can only guess why, i mean they said straight out loud thinking no one would hear them but oh well look who did. I think i'll just bud in on this conversation.

"Philosophers Stone huh?" I called out putting away my Alchemic Novel i was reading.

They looked around as to find out who was talking to them those dimwits...

"Over here smart ones like i said your in for a lot searching for the Philosophers Stone must be really important."

"Well not many ordinary people know about the stone so how would you know?" asked the tin can er, Al

"True but one, actually some amount of people know about the stone, and two, im not ordinary people" at the end of my sentence i transmuted WITHOUT A CIRCLE what the Philosophers Stone would probably look like. I held the make beleive stone in my hand. "This is probably what your looking for"

"Ah alchemy without a circle, a rare ability" the blond said transmuting the same stone also without a circle.

"I see im not the only one with that "rare ability" that not many skilled STATE alchemists can do Edward Elric"

"What!" Edward jumped back surprised i knew who he was and being a state alchemist

"Well one, you have the state pocket watch which would give you away as being part of the state...along with me" i said pulliong out a pocketwatch of my own, "It was my sisters...Natalie's" i said staring down at the wooden floor.

Edwards eyes widened, he finally realized "...Sam?"

I looked up towards Ed, "Yeah, surely you couldnt forget your childhood friends in Central when you visited that one time you actually stayed?"

"Sam your one with the state?"

"Well yeah how else am I gonna get the Philosophers Stone?"

"Sam i know why you want the Stone, you just need to look at your left arm as a reminder"

"I know Ed, you were there when i attempted human transmutation. But dont forget so soon that you have a reminder also...Im sorry Ed, I have to do this, she was all i had. You dunno what its like to have no one, you have Al."

Ed opened his mouth to say something but then closed it and turned away but then stared and looked at me again. "Your right i dont know what its like...ill let the decisions you make be up to you. I cant even imagine loosing Al completly"

"yeah" was all i could say, all i wanted to say when the train stopped.

"Well now that we finally met up agian, you might as well come with us if we are both looking for the same thing." I turned to look at them and smiled, "ok Ed...lets go then" with that i grabbed my suitcase and along with Ed disembarked the train to the somewhat ghost town we were the only ones who got off that stop it was part of Eds orders to inspect the place and i could see why when i big blast of light came our way, i dodged the blast as did Ed and looked to see who fired at us. The dust cleared and on top of a rumbled old broken down building it was her...it was...Natalie...
