Chapter Two

Edward just sighed and pulled himself out of his seat. He raised his right arm to his forehead to salute the Colonel before he turned and began to walk away. Kelly just stumbled along behind him, rather inaudibly. "Well, if we're going to stay in the same hotel room we might as well get to know each other" Ed said as he stopped in his tracks and turned his head around smiling brightly. Kelly just flushed lightly and stared at him. His smile was stunning; his eye's were compelling. "..Okay?" Ed added as he stepped back a bit so he was now standing alongside Kelly. "C'mon, I want you to meet my little brother." He said as he walked down the hall with Kelly at his side.

Ed and Kelly walked into the large cafeteria where they saw many military members and state alchemists feasting and talking with one another. They walked to a table in the corner of the room that was only occupied by a large suit of armor. "Brother!" hollered Al as he stood up and walked towards him.

"Hey Al.." Ed said as he scratched the back of his head nervously. "I have to tell you something, but first I'll just introduce you to Kelly" He gestured towards her.

"Um, hi.. I'm Kelly David" Kelly announced as she reached out her right arm smiling.

"I'm Alphonse Elric, Ed's little brother. You can just call me Al, though." Al said as he also reached out his arm and shook hands with the girl.

"Wait.. You're his little brother? Well.. I knew Ed had a little brother, but I didn't expect you to be him.." Kelly glanced at the two brothers while the elder Elric enraged and practically scorched. Alphonse just nodded and decided to change the subject before there was major damage done.

"So Ed.. what did you need to tell me?" Alphonse asked as he took a seat at a table beside them.

"Oh, Yeah.. That.. Well, you see, Mustang assigned Kelly to be my partner to

Look for the Philosopher's Stone so we have to share a hotel with her. Except, Mustang said that you'd have to stay in Central.. alone; when Kelly and me leave to the Hotel.. We'll come back every so often and we won't be gone for long, I swear!" Ed added the last part rather quickly.

"What? You're leaving without me? What am I supposed to do here!" Al protested firmly.

Kelly just sighed. "The Colonel said you could stay in HQ, or even with Hughes and his family.. I'm sorry Al, but like Ed said, we'll drop by every so often."

"Yeah Al, you can handle it. You'll be fine" Ed stated smiling as he patted Al on the shoulder. "We'll give you a call when we get to the room and tell you the number if you need to contact us." Ed took out his pocket watch and checked the time quickly. "And we gotta go.. Our train's leaving soon and if we miss it, the next train comes in a couple hours."

Al just nodded and stood up from the table. "You guys better go then. You don't want to miss your train, do you?"

Ed just smiled and stood up from his seat. Kelly did the same and looked over to Al. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Al. I'll see you later then." She nodded and followed Ed out of the cafeteria.

At The Train station D:

"Well..." Ed looked down at the ticket he was holding in his hand. "The train should be here any minute" He finished, smiling. Kelly smiled back and took her train ticket out of her pocket. As if on cue, the train arrived shortly after. They picked up their luggage and boarded the train, handing the tickets to the man at the doors. Ed wandered down the isles, looking for an empty compartment. Soon after, he found one and signaled for Kelly to come over to that one.

Kelly sat down on the window seat and leaned her head back, sighing. She placed her messenger bag full of belongings under the seat in front of her. "So, how long is this train ride anyways? I forgot..." She asked as she shut her eyes for a moment.

He looked down at his watch. "Two hours..." Ed replied as he slumped down in the seat across from her.

"Ugh... I hate trains.." Kelly grumbled as she lifted her head from her seat and looked out the window. She didn't really go on trains a lot, but when she did, she never liked it. They were always so boring.. and not to mention quiet as well.

"Hm… They're not that bad when you get used to them" Ed reassured her. "But to make the time go by, you wanna play cards?" He asked smiling as he took out a deck of cards from his pocket.

"Sure, but I'm not that good yet" Kelly laughed a little as she took her gaze away from the window and watched as Ed shuffled the cards. "So, what're we playing?"

"Black Jack" Ed smirked as he handed out the cards and pulled down the sleeve on his jacket.

-About a half hour later.. xD-

"You win! Again!" Kelly threw her cards down on the table, confused with Ed's winning streak. Ed just smirked and picked up the cards and began to shuffle them.

"Can I shuffle?" Kelly asked as she reached out her hands for the cards.

"No, no, no, it's alright! I can do it!" Ed basically shouted as he jerked his arm away. Kelly looked at him suspiciously and lunged for the cards. Just when she hit his arm, heaps of cards fell from his sleeve.

"Ha! I knew someone couldn't be that good at playing cards!" Kelly shouted triumphantly as she picked up the cards that had fallen out of his sleeve.

"Heh heh... I think I might just go for a walk quickly.." Ed said laughing nervously as he leapt from his seat and reached for the door to open the compartment.

"No way am I letting you get away with this" Kelly sat up and jumped for the door, locking it and tripping over one of her bags on the floor. Sure enough, she did fall, but it was cushioned by something.. More like someone. Kelly looked down and she had, indeed, fallen on Edward. Both were blushing madly and Kelly scrambled up and sat back in her seat.

"S-Sorry about that..." She said nervously as she tugged down her sleeves and looked out the window.

Ed just nodded silently and got up as well, still blushing. "I'm just gonna go see how much longer it is until we get there.." He said as he unlocked the door and stepped out, shutting it behind him.

Kelly just sighed and put her feet up on the seat in front of her, resting her head on the window and dozing off a few moments later.

-With Ed-

"Ugh…" Eh sighed and scratched the back of his head. "I really hafta stop cheating… It gets me into to much trouble" Ed thought aloud as he neared the front of the train. He knocked on the conductor's door and a stewardess opened it.

"Hello… I'm sorry, but only authorized personals are able to come beyond this point." At that moment Edward flashed his pocket watch calmly.

"I've only come to see how much longer the train ride is..."

"Oh, okay" The stewardess bowed politely and looked at her watch. "Only about a half hour left until we reach the station. Is that all?" She asked politely.

"That's all. Thank you" Ed walked back to the compartment. He opened the door and stepped inside, taking a seat across from Kelly. He'd noticed that she fell asleep…

Ed's point of view

Ed stepped into the compartment after speaking to the stewardess to find Kelly had fallen asleep. He just sat down across from her and looked at her lying there. She looked so peaceful when she slept. 'No, Edward… You can't get attached. She's just a friend… You don't even like her that way… Right? Well, of course I don't. I just met her after all… But- I think I might like her…' Ed sighed and decided to stop arguing with himself, because surprisingly, he was loosing.

Ed just looked out the window and watched the scenery go by, waiting for the train ride to end.

-A half hour later… I'm lazy uu -

The train came to a stop and all the passengers began to leave their compartments and departure the train. Ed stood up and stretched and reached out his arm and lightly shook Kelly's shoulder.

"We're here, wake up…" Ed smiled as her eye's opened. "Come on, let's go to the hotel. Mustang said it was pretty close to the train station, so we can just walk there" Ed picked up Kelly's bag and put it on the seat beside her.

She smiled and picked it up and placed the strap over her shoulder. "Alright shrimp, let's go" Kelly ran from the compartment and down the hall, trying to escape from a very pissed off Edward.

"HEY! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP! YOUR SHORTER THAN ME!" He yelled as he chased Kelly through the hall and off the train. Kelly collapsed under a tree and waited for Ed to show up.

"Hey Ed. Um… Just kidding?" She said laughing nervously.

"Yeah, you better be kidding." Ed glared playfully. "Anyways, Mustang gave me a map. We're supposed to go down this road and we should be there shortly."

Kelly nodded and stood up and they both began to walk down the street, keeping their eye open for the hotel.

"Ah, here we are…" Ed pointed to a large building beside them. It was decorated nicely and had many flowers in front. "What's with all the flowers?" Ed asked awkwardly staring at the flowers.

"No idea..." Kelly shrugged making her way to the door. "Let's just put our stuff away and we'll decide what to do after that." Ed nodded and opened the door. Kelly and Ed stepped in and walked up to the counter and checked in.

"Here's the key to your room" the lady behind the desk said, smiling. "Enjoy yourselves" she added with a small giggle.

"Yeah...okay…" Ed just took the key, looking at the lady awkwardly. "She seems happy…"

"Yeah, really..." Kelly added, looking behind them at the lady smiling and waving at them. They made it into the room and decided to look around and see what it was like.

-With Roy and Hughes O: -

"Ah hahaha! You've done it this time, Roy! I have no idea what they'll do!" Hughes laughed

"Oh, they'll never expect this! I'm waiting from a phone call. At least they're far away, Ed can't come and get mad" Roy added, laughing hysterically as well.

-Back with Ed and Kelly-

"I'm gonna go and unpack everything, okay?" Kelly opened the door leading to the bedroom and dropped her bag. "Oh.My.God."

"What's the matter- what the hell!" Ed yelled when he looked through the open door.
