The Exams...

Ed and Amanda fought all the way there while Al and Amy watched. They finally reached Central HQ. There was a lot of people wanting to become a state alchemist. Everyone (except Ed and Al) went inside when the main clock struck twelve. Amy and Amanda tried to stay together, but there was too many people. Amy ran in to someone and knocked her down.

"I'm sorry!" Amy said looking at the girl. "I should've watched where I was going! I'm so sorry!"

Then Amy started going on her 'I'm sorry' rampage.

"It's okay." Haru said getting up and trying to calm Amy down.

"You'll never calm her down like that." Amanda said hitting Amy over the head. "Hi, I'm Amanda Lynn." She put out her hand.

"Haru Akimoto." Haru said shaking Amanda's hand. "What's wrong with her?"

"Amy...well...has problems, but not all the time." Amanda said breaking the hand shake. "We're going to be late if we not hurry."

After that they ran to the room where they had to wait in. Amy sat next to Amanda and Haru sat next to Amanda.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed and Al...

"What do you want to do, now?" Ed asked sounding bored.

"Let's eat."

"Way ahead of you." Ed said running to café. "Come on slow poke you have the money!"

"Coming." Al said trying to catch up with Ed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting of the exams...

Everyone in the waiting room formed a line (and guess who was in the back). "Welcome to the state alchemist exams." the fuhrer started. "I hope that all of you do your best." he continued with that smile he always has on. "Now one by one you show me you skill." he walked into a room with several other people and one by one people went in and out. At about four o'clock the fuhrer came out of the exam room.

"Come back tomorrow and complete the exams." he said looking at everyone.

Everyone left the waiting room, except Amy. Amanda and Haru started walking toward the café. Amy was in spaced out mode and no one noticed her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed and Al..

"Where are those two?" Ed asked Al impatiently.

"I don't - wait there's Amanda, but where did Amy go?"

"Hey guys, this is Haru." Amanda said looking at them weirdly.

"Who cares?" Ed asked looking behind Amanda. "Where's Amy?"

"Oh my god!" Amanda said hitting her head. "I forgot Amy!"

"Way to go you stupid tom-boy." Ed said slapping his face and shaking his head.

"Shut up you shrimp." Haru said getting revenge.

"What was that?" Ed yelled.

"Come on, Amy must be worried." Al said.

Everyone ran towards Central HQ.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amy...

Amy was sitting in the waiting room by herself and she was still space out mode. The fuhrer walked up to her and she didn't notice him.

"Hello." he said standing in front of her.

Amy jumped up a little and looked at him.

"Hi, where did everyone go?" she asked sounding confused.

"Everyone left and you're the only that stayed, why is that?" he asked looking at her.

"I was thinking." Amy said looking forward.

"Thinking about what?" he asked.

"I don't know." Amy said looking up with confidence and a tear drop started to form behind the fuhrer's head.

"Amy!" Amanda yelled running toward her and everyone else followed her.

Amanda continued running until she ran face first into a see though door. Ed, Al, and Haru watched as she got up and opened the door. Amy watched Amanda.

"Way to go tom-boy." Ed said forming a tear drop on the back of his head.

"I'm sorry!" Amy started. "If I was with them then Amanda wouldn't have gotten hurt. I'm so sorry!" this time Amanda hit her five times harder then the other times.

"That should make her stop going crazy." Amanda said helping Amy stand up. "Well, Haru, we need to go."

"See you later, then." Haru said.

Everyone walked out of the waiting room. Ed, Al, Amanda, and Amy went to the Elric's house. Haru went to her house.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Elric's house...

"Are the exams over with yet?" Ed asked throwing himself on the couch.

"No you stupid girly-boy." Amanda said jumping on Ed.

"Get off me you damn tom-boy!" Ed yelled trying to push her off of him.

Al stared at Amanda and Ed and Amy started to stare into space.
