The Friends Of Time And Worlds
Chapter 3: Rosette and Sen
Ed awoke alone in the infirmary. It was early in the morning, but he didn't want to stay in the infirmary the whole time. Standing up, he grabbed his clothes off of a chair and changed. His pants were badly ripped, yet his shirt was perfectly fine. Ed picked his boots up and pulled them on to his feet, and then he was on his way…on his way to explore the Magdalene Order.
Sen's RoomSen sat up in the bed. She had been up the whole night, for she was too worried about Ed to go to sleep. Sen swung her legs over to the side of the bed and stood on the floor. She winced mentally at the cold floor as she walked to the door and opened it. "Chrono?" She whispered quietly. "Chrono? Are you there? I would like to go see Ed. Chrono?"
Nothing. Nothing responded to her, except the echoes of her voice. Finding the wall for the hallway, she walked down the hall to the next door. She knocked and heard the hallow knock echo in the hall. "Is anyone in here?" She whispered even quieter. Twisting the doorknob, she knocked. "Hello?"
No answer.
She pulled the door closed and tried the next door. After about three other doors she found Rosette's room, which didn't give a pleasant welcome.
"Get out of here Chrono!" Rosette yelled as she threw a pillow at Sen and missed.
Sen had dodged and closed the door. "At least I found someone," she said to her self. Knocking once more and opening the door, she found her self on the floor and hearing something break. Her eyes widened, and a large gash lay on her forehead. "Rose…Rosette?" She said as she trembled. "I'm…I'm sorry…I was try…trying to find Chrono…"
Rosette was still in her nightgown and came running out and bent down to Sen. "I'm so sorry," she took Sen's hand and pulled her up. "Let me get that bandaged up, we wouldn't want you passing out from blood loss, now would we." She pulled Sen into her room and grabbed a box of bandages out of her dresser. "Don't move." Rosette put some alcohol on the gash on Sen's forehead and wrapped the bandage around her head three times before taping the bandage to the bandage.
"You are hard to make get up, aren't you?" Sen asked as her hand clutched the nightgown she wore.
Rosette nodded, but then remembered that Sen couldn't see and replied, "Yea, Chrono says that if I don't become a light sleeper soon I might not have a long life…"
Sen frowned. "You are Chrono's contractor, correct?" She smiled. "Ed is mine. I don't like it when he wants me to transform. I'm not ready to lose him, and he doesn't want to die yet. Chrono probably feels the same way. He probably doesn't want you to waste your life on him. He didn't want you to make a contract."
Rosette glared at Sen. "Waste my life on him?" She was angry. "I'm not wasting my life on him. I'd give my life for him."
Sen nodded. "I know, and I would give my life for Ed."
Rosette's glare pierced Sen. "I'm not joking, this is not a joking matter." Grabbing Sen by the neck she pushed her into the wall. "I'm giving my life to him because I love him." She yelled. "I don't want to lose him."
Sen placed her hands on Rosette's arm and tried to get her to release. She gagged. "I wasn't kidding or joking. I love Ed."
"Rosette!" Came a shriek. "Release her now!"
Rosette turned around to see Sister Kate standing in the doorway. She dropped Sen who gasped for air. "Sister Kate! It doesn't look like what you think it looks like." Rosette explained quickly.
Sen stood up. "Rosette was teaching me how to fight ma'am." She bowed to Sister Kate. "Do you happen to have some clothes that I can borrow?" She asked changing the subject.
Sister Kate looked at Rosette. "Rosette should have something that fits you." Turning her attentions to Rosette, "Rosette, get Sen something to wear."
The blond nodded and started searching through her closet as Sister Kate left. "Why did you cover for me?" Rosette asked once Sister Kate was gone.
"I'm not sure," Sen shrugged, "but would you want to be scrubbing this place from top to bottom? I didn't think so."
Rosette pulled out a dress that had the sleeves slit all the way down so it hung to the waist. The dress was knee high and had see through pieces hanging a bit past the knee. "Try this on," Rosette said as she closed her bedroom door, handed the dress to Sen, and then started searching for something else.
After Rosette found Sen and herself clothes she had Sen sitting on the floor as she fixed her hair. "You seem to be a sister I never had," Rosette said as she braided Sen's hair, "I simply don't know what to do with your hair." She picked the brush up once again and began to brush Sen's hair out. "Maybe we should leave it down."
Sen nodded. "Its fine with me. I don't care what you do with it."
"Stand up," Rosette said as she threw the brush on top of the bed behind her, "I want to see how you look."
Sen stood up and brushed her self off. "How do I look?" She asked happily as she spinned around once. The black dress hugged her hips and a loose sash hung around her waist. The black buckle boots Rosette had found in the closet went up to at least her knees and fit perfectly. Her black hair fell to her waist with a black scarf tied in her hair. She smiled. "So?"
Rosette smiled. "Every boy will fall for you," she and Sen laughed aloud.
"Could we go find Ed?" Sen asked as the laughter died and a smile erupted on her face. "I would like to…talk to him."
"Sure, lets go!" Rosette took her hand and they both walked out.
When they had both got to the infirmary, Sister Kate was running around going nuts. "He is gone!" She shouted. "We haven't seen him ever since yesterday!" She pointed at Sen, "You, you are spies, aren't you? He left to find all our weapons to report to Ion while you distracted us. Didn't he?"
"No," Sen replied angrily. "We are not Ion's spies. Infact we aren't even spies." She pointed her finger at Sister Kate. "I suggest you think before you accuse Ed and I of something that we do not do. I suggest you get your people to find him, now!" She commanded.
Sister Kate immediately ran out of the room quickly yelling to every person she saw to go look for Edward Elric. Rosette frowned at Sen. "Calm down, we'll go look for Ed. He probably went to explore this building." Rosette took Sen's hand and dragged her out of the room. "C'mon!"
Two Hours LaterSen and Rosette gasped for air. They had run around Magdalene Order for at least two hours and still hadn't found Edward. "Do you…happen to have…some place…holy?" Sen asked between breaths.
Rosette nodded and took Sen's hand once again. They both walked to the chapel outside. They stood in front of the doors and Rosette opened them. "Edward?" She said quietly. "Its Rosette and Sen, we've been looking for you all morning. You here?"
The young blond man stood up from the pew and turned around. "G'morning you two!" He exclaimed happily. "I decided to get up this morning and look around, didn't expect you two to come down here though, especially you, Sen."
Sen walked up to Ed and crossed her arms. "You weren't suppose to leave the infirmary. I would thing you would…" a coughing fit started and Ed ran to her and patted her back.
"Calm down," he said as he led her to one of the pews and got her to sit down. "Take a breath." He told her.
Sen followed directions and finally, the coughing fit stopped. "You should have stayed in bed today Sen." Ed told her concerned. Placing his hand on her forehead, he sighed. "You're still running a fever." Ed's hand fell from her forehead. "I want you to go rest. And I mean today, right now."
Sen sighed. "But…I thought we would be leaving today…" She started only to be stopped by Ed as he held his hand up to silence her.
"No, not today. You are still weak, and Sister Kate has offered to let us stay…as long as we don't get in the way." Ed paused. "You'll have to stay with Chrono, Sen. She said she wouldn't give you special treating because it wouldn't be fair to Chrono. So you'll be staying with Chrono…"
Rosette winced at the thought of Sen staying with Chrono. Chrono sleeps outside, she thought sadly. They'll sleep outside…
Sen nodded. "Okay then, I'll stay with Chrono. Where is he by the way?"
The purple haired devil walked in the door and smiled. "Good morning Rosette, Ed, Sen. I've been looking for you Sen," Chrono's voice was the soft usual voice he always had but a bit worried, "Rosette, Sister Kate, and I are suppose to take you to get clothes." He turned toward Edward, "And you too! You need some new pants…" He glanced at the metal arm and leg and turned around. "Come on Rosette! We better head to the car, you too, Sen and Ed."
Ed took Sen's hand and led her to the car where Rosette and Chrono went. Ed opened the door for Sen and Rosette, and the driver's door for Sister Kate. He smiled at Chrono and began to open the passenger seat door when he saw that Chrono had already had it and waited for Ed to get it. It took a while before Ed got in and Chrono closed the door and got in the backseat.
Sen and Rosette smiled. "Here we come mall!" They both yelled and laughed.
Ed and Chrono smiled. While Sister Kate griped about them being too loud.
