Okay, since I haven't done one in awhile, here's a disclaimer: I do not own FMA or anything that's officially copywrited to something big, like Linkin Park. And I wish Kat's bedroom was mine! xD Okay, I'll shaddap now.

I slowly woke up to realize the train was slowing down and going to stop completely in a minute. I had apparently cried myself to sleep. Looking at my reflection in the window, I could tell my eyes were slightly swollen and most likely very red. I sighed and rubbed my eyes, and for once was glad I had the excuse of allergies. Ed had crawled up more and had his torso on my legs, to which I smiled slightly. I hoped I was as patient with Ed and Al whenever and if I ever have my own child. I rubbed his arm, like the way my mother used to, and sang softly.
"Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning Elric brothers, good morning to you." It was a small rhyme that once again I was taught by my mother. Al's eyes went from so dull you could barely see them to slowly brightening backup. Ed, on the other hand, slept on. I shook his arm gently.
"Ed, you have to get up, hon." I called everyone 'hon' that I was close to. Including both Ashleys, All the 'Jay's - which I have called all my guy friends who's name started with 'J', Brandon, Liz, and Dwight.
"Nooo... five more minutes mom..." He mumbled. I couldn't tell if he was awake and messing with me or not.
"Ed, if you get up, when we get back to Central I'll make pizza..." I said. I made pizza for them once since they had never had it before. Ed got hooked on it. Poor Al couldn't taste it. And whenever I needed a favor or something that Ed had to do, and refused to do it, I bribed him with pizza. I know, I'm so evil. Now within two seconds of me saying that he shot up, mumbling "Mmmmm... Pizza" under his breath. I shook my head and got up, walking out to the front of the train car to get off.

Outside, off of the train

We watched the train leave and we set off to some town named Glenn Arbor. It reminds me of 'Ann Arbor', a town where I came from that was well know. That, and it was big too. We made small talk as we all walked, and I remembered I didn't bring my pack in my haste. So then I went off into a rant as to how stupid I was. Ed rubbed it in, Al told me I wasn't stupid and whacked Ed. I laughed so hard I started to cry again. Truthfully, these two were riots if you got to know them personally. Like, past the Anime level. While I was still laughing Ed and Al got into the argument about who was the boss, and why you don't hit people. Adding into the fun I said, "Well Ed, it is true you have... short expectations." When he heard the emphasis on 'short', he went ape-shit. I mean, started chasing me around and Al had to run to keep up. I laughed so hard I stumbled a lot, but still yet I stayed ahead of Ed.

10 minutes later

After Ed was done chasing me, we called a truce and I apologized again with a hug, before Al lifted me up onto his shoulders. I waved my arms and laughed like a kid again, which got some more poking comments from Ed but I didn't care. Thing though, is when we reached the edge of Glenn Arbor, we stopped dead. Al set me down on the ground. We couldn't believe what we were seeing, and I could feel the bile from my stomach rising in my throat. I stepped forward, took in the smell of Glenn, and did run off to the side to puke. It felt like my insides were coming up through my mouth, Ed patted and rubbed my back while giving me support. I could tell he was doing this as a friend, and I nodded my thanks before looking back at the city...
