A.N.- yay! The 2nd chapter I've written!
I'm so sorry this has taken so long to type this. In short, my DI team
is going to the Global Finals in Tennessee in May. So, we have to raise
about 9,0 dollars to get there. And that's just for our team! (the cost
is about 1,0 per person.) There are FOUR teams going to this team from
Stow! So we have to raise a CRAPLOAD of There are some cool pix of us
waiting for opening ceremonies at states (at WPI) at:
http/web.
One of the fathers of my teammates took these pix and posted them. I'm in the one that is aptly titled "Claire getting her hair braided."
Oh, and guess what: I can't go to Anime Boston Because I'll be in Tennessee when it takes place.
Well, the brothers are in Boston, and we run into some people that Claire knows. What shall happen?
Disclaimer: Neither myself or wolf00rakauen owns FMA. That will be all, thank you.
The three of them headed out of the train station. It was a sunny day but there was some wind blowing around. Seeing as the brothers had no idea where the convention was, Claire addressed that problem.
"We're headed to the Hynes Convention Center. But, I admit, the fact that you got off at North Station helped a little (alright, I don't live in Boston, so I'm sorry if I screw up the geography. I live west of it about 30 min.). We've got to take a slight detour, because I would rather not get hit by a car, if you don't mind. So we're heading this way." She pointed in the direction that they were headed.
They headed down the street, taking in the sights of Boston. (there isn't a whole truckload of stuff to see, but what's there is good.) They walked out of the side street they were walking on, and stepped out right near the Leonard Zakim Bridge. Ed and Al stopped for a bit to look at it. "What's that?" Al asked.
"Oh, that's the 'Leonard P. Zakim Memorial Bunker Hill Bridge.' Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?" (for an image it's cool google it.)
Ed smirked. "It's pretty impressive."
"Yup, and it's the widest bridge in the US." (Widest in the world is in Sydney, Australia.)
"Well, shall we continue on?"
And they kept walking.
A short while later, (alright it was about 30 seconds. That line was just to break it up.) they were walking through a rather compressed section of town. There were shops crowded next to one another.
"Where are we?" Al asked, glancing around.
'The North End, Little Italy, call it what you wish. But it's where the majority of Italian immigrants lived a long time ago. It's a really nice section of town."
"It looks that way." Al replied.
Just then, right in front of them, two girls ran out of a store in front of them. They both had blonde hair, except one's was REALLY curly and the other's was straight.
"Hello Allie. Hello Tori." Claire said.
The straight-hired girl (Tori) smiled really big and waved. Allie said, "Hello" and smiled. All of a sudden Tori seemed to realise Ed and Al. Claire stepped back to introduce them.
"Tori, Allie, do you know my friend Chelle from Seattle?" They both shook their heads 'no.' "Well, you should. Anyways, these two are friends of hers, and they are traveling around to different anime conventions across the country. Their names are Dan (she pointed to Ed) and Adrien (pointing to Al)"
Allie nodded. "Well, maybe we'll see you there! We're going too."
Tori nodded. "Bye!"
Claire waved to them as they wandered off. She turned to the brothers.
"Well, let's keep going. We have to get there when it starts so I can get you two registered."
They continued walking until they passed a small corner store. Claire turned to them. "You guys, I just have to run in to get something. I'll be right back." She ran inside.
She ran right back out holding two or three bags of something that looked like chocolate.
"That is one of my favorite places. It's called Polcari's (anyone who lives near Boston needs to go there!), a little Italian Groceria."
"What'd you get?"
"Some chocolates."
And thus, they walked on.
(a/n: sorry, that passage was included because I felt like advertising for Polcari's and my friends wanted a guest appearance.)
They finally appeared at the convention hall.
"Let the convention begin!"
