-----Chapter 2:Who?-----
"Ed who?" Russell asked. It sounded like he was so anxious to know.
"Elric." Kelly answered while giggling. Russell's face was in shock.
"I know him!"
"Yeah right!" Jewel yelled.
"Oh? Really?" Kelly asked Russell. She couldn't believe it! One of her best friends knows her ex.
"Yeah. I meet him when I was making the Philosopher Stone, and I used his name-" Russell said, but than interrupted by Jewel.
"Ooo! Russell! That illegal!"
"Shut up! And than meet him after I got arrested-"
"Ooo!" Kelly said.
"How?" Jewel asked.
"Used his name again." Russell murmured.
"See. I knew you would get in trouble." Kelly said while she grabbed an egg from the plate and plopped it in her mouth.
"Hey!" Jewel and Russell both yelled with anger.
"Come on guys, lets go to Winry's."
All of them walked out of the apartment. Than Russell and Jewel stared going down the long flight of metal stairs. But Kelly didn't. She stood in front of her neighbors door that was right across from her apartment. It was Alexis's apartment. She has black silky long hair that is pulled back into a loose ponytail. Also chocolate brown eyes.
Kelly stood in front of it. She held out her right hand and opened the door. No one cares if you walk in. Just you need to find a way to get into the complex. Her living room had a blue rug in it. With a blue love seat. The wooden panels on the floor were full of dust. Kelly walked inside. On her couch rested her pink guitar. She works on writing music to get money. Alexis also works at a bakery.
"Maybe she is there." Kelly said to herself. She closed the doors. Than you heard a voice call out.
"Oh Kelly!" It was Jewel. She whistled, "Come here girl!" Jewel yelled to Kelly as if Kelly is a little dog. Kelly sighed and ran down the flights of stairs.
There were Jewel and Russell. Kelly put on her best smile for them.
"Hey! Lets go see Alexis!" Kelly said happily.
"I thought we were going to see Winry." Jewel said back, sounding a little annoyed by Kelly's new idea.
"I'm hungry, she works at a bakery. Maybe we can make a pit stop there."
"Well it is on the way to the train station." Russell added.
"Fine!" Jewel yelled.

At the bakery…
Alexis's black hair was filled with flour because she was making pretzels ALL day. Alexis was done with her last batch. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Than three customers came in.
"Hey Alexis!" a voice yelled. Alexis knew all three of them. She smiled with glee. She went to the oven and took out a batch of pretzels. Alexis saw the three customers sit at a small blue table. They were all chatting about this 'Ed' person. She never heard of that name ever been spoken from those three.
"So why did you?" You heard a blonde haired man asked.
"Um, I guess different paths." the black haired girl answered.
"What do you mean 'Um, I guess'? You broke up with him!" You heard a brown haired girl yelled with anger and frustration. Alexis giggled. She placed the six of the pretzels on a medium sized paper plate. She walked up to them and placed it on their table.
"Here you go, hot from the oven." Alexis said while smiling.
"Thanks." the brown hair, who is Jewel, said but sounding distracted.
"So it was because Ed was bad at kissing?" Russell asked in shock.
"Whoa! Whoa!" Alexis said. She looked behind her to see a red plastic chair. She grabbed the chair and pulled it close to their table.
"Oh, hey Alexis!" Kelly said.
"You broke up with a guy because he was a bad kisser, that's low!"
"No its not! I would do the same thing!" Jewel yelled at Alexis.
"You would?" Russell asked Jewel in shock.
"Yeah, I mean…yeah…"
"So did you hear?" Alexis asked to start a new topic.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"That the Fuehrer is getting married! That's cool. I mean, it has to be the perfect girl for a powerful man like him."
Fuehrer the highest in the military, like Pride was.
Kelly sunk low into her red plastic chair. Her face blushing bright red. Everyone stared at her.
"Are you marring him?" Jewel asked as this was the most important thing to know the answer to.
"No! No!" Kelly yelled in disgust.
"Then why were you blushing?" Alexis asked Kelly.
"Um- Um…"
Then the phone rang that made everyone jump out of their seats.
Alexis walked up to the phone.
"Hello?" Alexis asked. The three customers couldn't hear who was on the other side.
Alexis said:
"And who is this?"
-moment of silence-
"Oh! How did you know to call here?"
-moment of silence-
"Oh! Oh! Yeah, she is here right now."
All three of them stared at each other.
"It must be Winry." Kelly said.
"Yeah, of course. She is the only friend who knows the number to the bakery." Jewel said back, her voice sounded that she couldn't be wrong. It must have been Winry.
-moment of silence-
"Okay! You want to talk to her?" Alexis said.
-silence-
"Sure."
Alexis had a sly smile on her face. Than she covered the talking part of the phone with her left hand.
"Oh Kelly!" Alexis yelled. Kelly pointed to her. Alexis sighed, "Yes, you."
"I wonder why its for me." Kelly said.
"Its Winry, for sure." Jewel said.
Kelly walked to the phone. Kelly grabbed it. Than before she talked to the mystery person she saw Alexis walk up to Russell and Jewel. Than whisper some thing.
"I knew it!" Jewel yelled by accident. Kelly thought it was Winry now. They all stared at Kelly with shocked faces on.
Kelly was afraid to say 'hello'. She placed the phone to her ear and said:
"Hello?"
"Hi…Kelly…" said a man's voice. Kelly gasped, could it be?
"Ed?"
"Yes…"
Please R&R, no flames!
