Chapter 3:
Jasmine told Riza she could walk to the military base when their ride arrived. It was no big deal for her of course. Almost to the military base, she spotted Ed and Al, walking aimlessly to nowhere, or that's what it looked like. Jasmine really needed someone to talk to, and Hecko decided not to show up that day.
"Hey, Ed! Al!", she called running over to them.
They both turned around and blinked in sync, it seemed so adorable to Jasmine, like twins or something.
"Oh, hey, Jasmine", Al said as Jasmine came to a stop in front of them.
"Um, may I know where you guys are going?", Crystal asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Just to the train station to pick up a friend", Ed replied.
" Oh," Jasmine tried not to smile, " May I come?" she asked putting on her most polite face.
"Actually-" Ed began.
"Sure." Al said.
Jasmine tried not to show her excitement, because she would rather be any where then at the military base again, " Thanks." she said. So they all headed towards were the Elric brothers were headed before. Jasmine actually obeyed Riza , and made sure her tail stayed out of site. After thinking about it after awhile, she finally thought of how the military people had chased her. Of course she didn't take in thought about how it was not her tail and ears, but also the fact that she jumped over the fence. Though she kept her ears out, no matter what, it was to uncomfortable to hide them, plus she needed them to hear. Finally Jasmine couldn't take the silence anymore.
"Ed," she said as casually as possible, "so who is this 'friend' of yours?"
Ed looked at Crystal as if he was confused about what she said, " Oh, um, she's a mechanic. Her name is-"
"Winry? Am I right? She made your automail for your arm and leg."Jasmine said interupting Ed.
"How did you...?" Ed said loking a bit surprised. Then he remembered that picture she had drew of Winry yesterday, but that still didn't explain how she knew the rest.
Though before Ed could speak again Al jumped in, " You know Winry, Jasmine?"
Jasmine put her hands behind her head, " No, I don't. I never met her in my life. Though ever since I got here, I just start thinking of names. Like you Al, I didn't know your name I talked to Ed., and then suddenly it came to me. Your face, yourage, just everything."
Al blinked, surprised, " That's sort of weird don't you think brother?"
Ed kept a stale expression, " Yeah, I guess it is."
"I think Ed is just jealous," Jasmine said rolling her eyes.
"I wouldn't be jealous, your probably just a stalker."
"How the hell would I be a stalker if I hadn't even heard of you before?"
"Because," Ed was couldn't think of any other come back, " because you can."
Jasmine smiled with victory as they continued their walk to the train. Once they got there, not to many people were there. Just and old lady, a man sitting on the bench reading the newspaper, and a man that seemed more fidgety then when Jasmine had twenty bowls of ice cream.
The train will arrive from Resembol in about 10 minutes. A female voice said over the intercom.
Jasmine crossed her arms and tapped her foot, ten minutes to her wasten hours. I she could, she would push that train here. Ed put his hands in his pocket and moved his neck around in circles, as Al patiently, stood like a statue. If Al ever had to go to war, he wold look like a perfect soldier, but sure wouldn't be one.
After awhile, a man who had a black hood, so that no one could see his face. He leaned forward and he had his hands in his pocket walking slowly. Jasmine watched the man curiously, there was something familar about him. After awhile, Jasmine lost intrest in him and continued to go into her boring little world. Though a scream turned Jasmine's attention back over her shoulders. The man was now running away, with the old lady's purse, a classic. Ed seemed like he was about to shout something, but before he could, Jasmine took off.
Running with great speed, Jasmine was in front of the thief in moments. The thief halted and then reached into his pocket to pull out a gun. Before the thief could do anything more, it seemed as if Jasmine disappeared only to appear again, below him kicking his gun away. The gun slid across the floor as the thief gasped. Jasmine yet again seemed todisappear and appeared behind the man. The man again gasp as Jasmine place her hands on his back, before he fell to the floor. Silence filled the room, it was silent before, but this time the room seemed to feel with fear and awe. She heard foot steps approach her and she sighed. She looked over her shoulder and grinned at Ed and Al.
"Jasmine," Al said almost in a excited voice, "What did you do?"
Jasmine smiled and placed her index finger on Al's arm which gave a tiny shock, " That's what I did."
Al blinked, trying to comprehend it, " Huh?"
Ed sighed, sorry that his brother was acting a little slow, " Let me guess, it's a little similar to Roy's gloves, right?"
Jasmine nodded happily, "M-hm. It's basically just static", she said, more so talking to Al, " but let's not explain this now." she looked down at the unconscious personon the ground and walked over to him. Something seemed strangely familiar about the person. Al seemed to be saying something, but Jasmine ignored it.
Jasmine rolled the person over as their hood fell off. Jasmine's eyes widened as Al and Ed asked what was wrong, but Jasmine was oblivious to their questions.
It can't be. She's dead...
Jasmine moved her hand to the woman's face and brushed her auburn hair from her face, this person was...
"Auntie...Marie...?" Jasmine whispered, as tears formed in her eyes.

Bounce. Bounce. A little girl withblonde ran down a rode chasing after a ball. Her friends called from down the rode to hurry and get the ball and she yelled back that she would. Once she retrived the ball she went back to her freinds laughing and giggling as the tossed around the ball.
As the ball was coming back to her, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the group as the ball rolled away and the other chidren went after it.The person lifted her up and ran told her that her Aunite was dying, and needed her. The little girl blinked, not understanding, dying? What did she mean by dying? The woman finally put her down next to a very weak woman's bed. The woman in bed petted her head.
" Ah, J-Jasmine. You're here, listen closely, you know those book I let you read and study?" The woman said weakly.
Jasmine nodded.
"T-take those, once I die. Study them for me, like you did every night with me, okay? It will always help you remeber, and also remeber to not fool around with it. It could bring terrible-" the woman let out a hackish cough and counitnued a coughing fit. Fianlly she stopped and smiled.
"Jasmine, be strong and remember" the woman's smile faded as her eyes darkened, her lifeless hand still on Jasmine's head.
Jasmine's eyes widened as she moved to tug on her auntie's shirt and her hand fell off her head.
" Auntie? Auntie, what's wrong?", Jasmine said as she tugged on the covers, " wake up, I promise I won't leave my dishes on the table anymore, just wake up." she shook the cold body, " Aunite? Auntie?" tears flowed down her face.
Someone picked her up as she struggled to hold onto the covers, she was pulled out of the room, crying for her Aunt.

Jasmine as opened a little as she looked around, people, lots of them. They sounded in a rush. Jasmine blinked then sat up rubbing her eyes, she recongized she had been laying in someone's lap. Al's.
Jasmine almost blushed, but didn't and looked to see Ed talking to a girl with blonde hair and helping her off the train. Then she spotted her wanna-be-auntie on another bench asleep, lying on the old woman's lap who stroked her hair. Jasmine was confused, what happened?
"Your awake," Al said, making Jasmine jump.
"Oh, Al, what happened?" Jasmine said sitting on the bench, still half awake.
" When you saw the women's you whispered that she was you Auntie and then passed out."
Jasmine blushed, she couldn't believe it! She had fainted, right in front of Ed and Al, and at a train station! Jasmine then watched as Ed and the girl he was talking to walk over to them.
When Ed and the blonde woman reached them Jasmine stood up to shake woman's hand.
"It's nice to meet you.," Jasmine said, then she remembered the girl they were talking about earlier.
The woman smiled, " Nice to meet you, my names Winry, you must be Jasmine." she said shaking Jasmine's hand.
Jasmine smiled and then reached into her backpack to retrieve her sketch book, "Here I have a present for you," she flipped through some pages and then tore one out handing it to Winry.She had just drew it after her fight with Riza.
Winry's eyes widened and she grinned, " How did you...?"
Jasmine winked, " It's a secret."
Winry stared again at the picture the girl had handed her, she couldn't believe it. The picture showed her grandma standing on their porch watching ,Winry play with their dog. She had never and met this girl, how could she...
" Well," Ed said breaking Winry out of her trance, " we better get going."
"But, brother, what about Jasmine's auntie?" Al said glancing over at the old woman and the woman lying her head in her lap.
Jasmine stared and the wanna-be-untie. This couldn't be...unless the family had kept a secret from her. Though she doubt that they could, since they already told her everything...right? Jasmine began to walk over to the bench the two women were. The others watched her and wondering what she was doing. This woman, she seemed different though, and younger...no she seemed much younger then her Auntie Marie.
The old woman looked up, and smiled, Jasmin smiled back then went back to staring at the her "Auntie". Just then the woman's eyes began to flutter open, she glanced at Jasmine and smiled lifted her head sat up and then looked around.
"Who...who are you?" Jasmine asked.
A frown went across the woman's face, as if Jasmine had said the wrong thing, " What you don't recognize me silly?" she said in a more playful voice.
Jasmine titled her head and stared int the woman's gray eyes...wait, her aunt didn't have gray eyes, but..., " Serene?" she said, the woman nodded, Jasmine jumped her and hugged her to almost suffocating her, " Oh my god! I haven't seen you in years! I didn't even recinginze you! I'm so sorry!" she said before giving her another bear hug. Serene was one of her oldest best freinds. The last time she had seen her hair was much more curlier ans shorter.
"Um, I'm excited to see you too," she said smiling sheepishly, Jasmine was drawing attention from the crowd, " I see you have some freinds you mgiht want to intoduce." she nodded over to Ed, Al, and Winry.
Jasmine nodded and pulled Serene off the bench and over to them. She introduced them and Serene told a joke after each name. Soon they were done and smiling.
"Well," Ed began, " Winry, Al, and me were planning on going to get something to eat after, do you guys want to come?"
Jasmine nodded happily, " Sure, I don't think Riza would mind."
Serene only nodded and smiled then they all started to head out the station, but once they got the entrance Serene pulled Jasmine away from them and sneaked to a corner.
" Jasmine, I came here looking for you, but it's really important, so I have to tell you later, k?" Serene said in a hurried voice.
Jasmine nodded, " Why can't you tell me now?"
"Because, to many people. At the end of they day we need to talk, ok?"
Jasmine only nodded again as Serene pulled Jasmine back into the crowd of people leaving. Ed and the others came and asked what happened, Serene said that she had accidently dropped her wallet and they both were looking for it and found it.Ed, Al, and Winrytook the lie, and they were off to find a restaurant.
