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

With Ed and Amanda...

"Have any clue what the name of the book was?" Ed asked Amanda.

"No." Amanda said skimming the book shelf. "Let's go, we need everyone's help if we want to find that book."

Amanda and Ed started walking towards the door. Then out of nowhere they heard a loud noise coming from a couple rows over. Ed and Amanda ran towards the noise and found a mountain of books on the ground. They looked around and saw no one.

"Help me.." a voice said to them.

Amanda looked at the moving books, started to dig into the mountain, and they found Cecilia.

"Thank you for getting me out of there." Cecilia said standing up and wiping her pants.

"What happened?" Ed said looking at her.

"I was putting away books and I tripped." She said smiling. "Then part of the books on the book shelf fell on top of me. I'm sort of a klutz."

"Hi, I'm Amanda Lynn and this is Edward Elric." Amanda said introducing herself.

"I'm Cecilia Kami, nice to met you two." She said smiling. Then she looked at them weirdly. "Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine." Amanda said snapping out of her thoughts.

"Never better." Ed said smiling.

"We need to go find our friends." Amanda said walking towards the door. "See ya."

"Bye." Cecilia waved and smiled.

Amanda turned around and the door opened right in her face.

"I'm okay." Amanda said trying to get up.

"Oh, I'm sorry Amanda, I didn't see you there." Hiro said watching Amanda trying to get up.

"Shut up and help me!" Amanda yelled at Hiro.

Everyone else walked into the library and looked around. Ed was still laughing at Amanda, Hiro was helping Amanda up, Al was scolding Ed, and Amy, Haru, and Rina were in the awe. Hiro looked around and noticed Cecilia picking up books. He walked over there and started to help her.

"Hi." Hiro said surprising her.

Cecilia yelled and dropped all of the books that she was holding. "Hiro don't scare me like that!" she paused for a second and then hugged Hiro tightly. "Hiro! I missed you! Where did you go?"

"Can't...breath...losing oxygen." Hiro said and Cecilia let him go.

"A Kodak moment." Amy said smiling at Hiro and his sister.

"What's Kodak?" Al asked her.

"I don't know." Amy said scratching her head.

"Idiot." Amanda said hitting her over the head.

"The head." Rina said slapping her face.

"Let's try to find that book." Al said looking at everyone.

"Hiro use your paper ability to find the book." Ed said looking at him.

"I can only use my ability to use paper not find it." Hiro said looking at Ed like he was stupid.

Everyone separated in groups of two and started their search for the book. Ed and Al were together in one section, Amy and Amanda were in one section, Hiro and Cecilia were in one section, and Rina and Haru were in one section.

With Amanda and Amy..

"Out of all the sections in the library they gave us the darkest one." Amanda complained.

Amy continued to search completely ignoring Amanda.

With Hiro and Cecilia..

"Brother where did you go?" Cecilia said skimming the book shelf. "Mom and I were worried sick."

"Sorry, but keep this between you and me." Hiro lowered his voice. "You know that place that mom and dad don't like?"

"Yeah, Amestris right?"

"I went there and joined the military." Hiro said pulling out his pocket watch.

"Can I go with you?" Cecilia asked him sounding excited.

"What about mom?" Hiro asked looking at her.

"She's slowly dying of an illness." Cecilia said starting to form tears in her eyes. "She developed the illness after you left."

"I'll take you with me, but we need to say bye to mom first." Hiro said starting to skim through the book shelf.

Ed and Al..

"This is boring." Ed said looking at the books.

"Brother be patient." Al said looking at the books on the shelf.

Haru and Rina...

Rina was skimming through the books very quickly, it looked like she just ate a bag of sugar or something. Haru looked at Rina weirdly.

"Rina are you okay?" Haru asked Rina slowly approaching her.

"Never better." Rina smiled evilly at her.

Rina went back to skimming through the books like a mad man.
