That night Roy came to pick Samantha up from Ed's room. True Lexi and Al went with them, but that did not deter Roy from kissing her in front of them. Ed simply walked beside his brother, shooting angry looks at Roy as they walked towards the restaurant.

As they entered the restaurant the waitress walked up to them a smile on her face.

"May I help you?" She asked, smile faltering when she saw all of them.

"We'd like a table for five please, and a booster seat for this boy here." Ed fumed silently, but was otherwise too angry at Roy to say anything else.

The waitress nodded and led them to a booth table near the window. They slid in, Lexi and Al sitting together, Roy and Samantha, then Ed on the end. Roy put his arm around Sam, and Ed looked about ready to kill. Lexi, seeing this shot him a warning look.

"So," said Lexi, looking meaningfully at Al. "It's some ...um….great weather we're having today." As if to contradict her, the sky began to thunder and rain began to pour.

Roy laughed and smiled at Lexi's attempts to break the ice. "So, have you boys made any progress with finding Scar?"

"I didn't know we were supposed to Colonel." Said Ed sourly.

"I heard that he's in Central," said Al, trying to keep the mood light.

Luckily for them just then the waitress came back, ready to take their orders. They ordered, Al politely declining any food. The waitress nodded and smiled, but obviously thought that they were crazy.

"I'll be right back," said Samantha with a look at Ed, who was currently muttering threats under his breath. She walked out of the restaurant and into the alleyway, where she leaned against the wall. "Why?" She asked the night out loud, looking at the stars and letting the rain play across her face.

"You know Edward Elric?" Asked a voice. She jumped, thinking that she was alone in the alleyway.

Samantha nodded, squinting through the gloom at the man she was talking to. She saw him with a jolt of her heart. It was Scar, and he was walking towards her.

"If he loves you he'll come in time to see your mangled body." Said Scar running towards her. Samantha dodged his attack and silently vowed not to scream.

There are two alchemists in there, if I scream their brains get blown out.

Scar came towards her, his hand out, tattoo on his ram glowing. "Go to God with grace." He yelled, grabbing her head.

"I'm not going just yet!" She yelled, kicking him and running out of the alleyway to the front of the restaurant. Scar followed her, swearing under his breath.

Where is your alchemist now?" He asked grabbing her head again. This time she didn't resist at all, simply fell limp in his grip. Just then Ed, Lexi, Al, and Roy, having seen the action through the window, ran outside.

"Damn it!" Yelled Ed, running towards Scar, transmuting his auto-mail into a spear.

"NO!" Yelled Samantha, beginning to feel the life going out of her, "Scar wants you two! RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!"

"I'm sorry," said Ed, attempting to stab Scar. "But I don't just run away." Scar jumped way from Samantha, letting her fall to the ground. Roy rushed over to her side while Ed and Al chased after Scar.

"Roy," Samantha whispered pulling him close to her ear.

"I know its okay." He said with a smile.

"Thanks Roy," said Samantha.

"Does Ed know what a good kisser you are?" He asked with a smirk.

They came back, Ed cursing under his breath. "Didn't catch him. That guy runs too fast."

Lexi walked over to Al and whispered something in his ear that made him turn bright red. "Brother, is it okay if me and Lexi go on a walk?" He asked, grinning slightly.

"You don't need to ask me. Do what you want. Unless of course it'll come back and bite you in the ass." Ed looked angrily at the Colonel.

"Well, I've got some paperwork to do, and a certain First Lieutenant that might just shoot me if it doesn't get done." He smiled at Samantha and jerked his head towards Ed. "Go on," he whispered in her ear, and walked off into the darkness.

They found themselves alone, sitting in front of the restaurant. "HEY YOU THERE!" Yelled their waitress, running out to them waving a slip of paper. "You didn't pay!" Ed immediately went pale and began running as fast as he could, dragging Samantha with him. They finally stopped at the bridge leading out of Central, looking out over the water, rain falling slowly on them.

"You're soaked." Said Ed, looking at Samantha, her black underdress showing. She immediately looked down at what she was wearing and blushed furiously.

"So are you," she said with a smile. Ed looked out over the water as the rain continued to fall down.

"Look, I…" He began but Samantha held up her hand.

"I know. You don't need to explain anything to me." Ed nodded and looked up the dark cold sky. "Ed, I …" She began, but this time Ed cut her off.

"I understand. We all make mistakes. Mine was letting Winry get the best of me. Yours was letting your jealousy get the better of you."

Samantha smiled as they looked out over the lake. (A/N the bridge isn't very far off of the water just to let you know)

Jus then a car came by, spraying them with even more muddy water. The force of the water hitting her caused her to slip and fall. Ed caught her just in time for them to go tumbling together into the icy waters. Samantha stood up and laughed at the look on Ed's face.

"That was the second time I've fallen in here today!" Samantha laughed and splashed Ed in the face. He spluttered and spat out water. "Oh, you're dead now!" He said, grabbing her waist and pulling her underwater with him.


Al and Lexi walked in silence towards the park bench where they sat down. "Look," said Lexi, pointing to two people who were playing in the water.

Al laughed, "That seems like a thing Brother would do."

Lexi sat there in silence, then asked a question that she had been wondering for a long time. "Why do you always listen to your brother?"

"My parents are gone, and we're all each other have. Brother's more of a hothead then me, and I keep him in line."

Lexi put her hand on his. "Can you really not feel that?" Al shook his head.

"I can feel it, to an extent. I know your hand is there, and I can feel its presence, but I couldn't tell if you were wearing silk or something scratchy."

Lexi leaned in and kissed him.

"Now I could feel that," said Al with a little laugh.


Ed and Samantha walked back to the room, laughing and joking together. Ed held open the door, with a mock bow to Samantha. She entered, and immediately grabbed a towel and began to towel her hair dry. Ed shut the door, and tried to take the towel from her. They chased each other around the room, shouting fake threats. At last they fell on the couch, gasping for air.

"So, Roy says you're a good kisser," said Ed, a smirk creeping onto his face.

"Well Roy might be the only one who ever knows," said Samantha, standing up. Ed grabbed her hand and pulled her down next to him.

"Ohh come on. Just one kiss."

"Fine." Said Samantha, giving him a brief kiss on the lips. Ed pulled her into a fierce hug, not letting go.

"You are a good kisser." He said with a laugh. He pulled her into a long deep kiss, neither of them coming up for air.

Just then the door was opened by Lexi and Al, walking hand in hand. They froze as Ed and Samantha pulled apart, blushing furiously.

"I leave you for fifteen minutes brother…" said Al, trying to hold back a laugh. Lexi joined him in laughing as Samantha and Ed brushed themselves off, grinning sheepishly.

"Anyway, I call dibs on the bed tonight." Said Al, lying down on the soft mattress.

"Couch!" Said Lexi, jumping onto it and pulling the blanket around herself.

"Fine, stick us on the floor." Said Ed sulkily. He lay down, putting a blanket around his wet clothes, and then standing up. "Why I didn't change first I don't know." He said, grabbing shorts and a tee shirt. He tossed another pair of clothes at Samantha, "Because you keep getting wet."

Once they were in dry clothes they laid down on the floor, wrapping up in blankets.

"Goodnight Brother," said Al sleepily.

"Night," said Lexi with a loud yawn.

"Night," said Ed, pulling Samantha close.

"What are you doing Edward?" Asked Samantha, trying to pull free of his grip.

"Is it a crime to hug my girlfriend?" He asked with a grin, pushing back her hair and blowing on her neck.

"Go to sleep." She said shortly, but not before turning around and giving him a good nights kiss. "We have research in the morning."

Ed groaned at the thought of more book work, and then fell asleep with Samantha in his arms.
