Ed held me in his arms tightly, warming me up.

I tried to hold back tears, but I knew it was no use. So I cried my heart out on Ed's shoulder, sobbing and opening my mouth in silent screams. Tears flowed until I was sure I lost half my weight in water, then started to slow down.

I hiccuped, sniffed, and wiped my tears away, pulling away from Ed to face him.

"I'm sorry," I sniffed, "It did bring back bad memories. I'm sorry, you and Al should be the ones suffering the most right now. But I did warn you, I am a bit crazy." I laughed shakily. Ed shook his head.

"No, that's not it. You're still suffering, just like...Me and Al..." He said. I could tell he wanted to tell me their secret.

"It's all right," I said, "You can tell me. I promise, I won't judge."

Ed sighed, before facing me and telling me their story. It was only refreshing my memory, yes, but there was something different than learning it from a TV show. I could see the emotion on his face, even though it wasn't very noticeable.

"It's... Amazing." I said, to Ed's shock. "You two survived that crisis, and still appear so strong. You don't look like you've been through hell, when in fact, you have. I admire how strong you are, not to cry when the trauma is mentioned." I said. I mean, I didn't cry every time my trauma came up, but I did sometimes. Although, I never felt the full extent of my scar, not like I had moments ago. It was painful. But Ed and Al's must've been breaking.

"You can call it amazing," Ed said, "but I don't think the word does it justice."

I nodded, and stood up. I was still feeling horrible. Just like before, I had to keep the problem hidden. If they knew why I cried, they'd know I have been lying to them. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. So once again, I'd have to keep the pain in, and put on a smile. Hide the pain behind a laugh.

Normal.

To me, that is normal.

Ed and Al sat on the ground, while it rained. I sat next to them, a few feet away. I could feel them brooding once again on the Nina issue.

I love the rain, I decided. It can hide my pain shown through tears. It could soothe my burning eyes. It was calm, a repeating dropping of water, with a soothing sound. Although Ed and Al are far from soothed right now...

That's when I remembered something. I leaped to my feet, startling the brothers.

"OH NONO NO NO!" I yelled, running around. Crap, this is bad, this is bad, this is very, very bad...

"Are you Edward Elric?" I heard a man say. I froze, and turned. I knew that cloak. I knew that haircut. I knew that scar...

"Yes, who wants to know?" Ed asked. I facepalmed.

"NO ED WATCH OUT!" I screamed, and luckily Al pulled Ed out of the way before Scar could put his hand on Ed's head.

And so they started fighting. I started hyperventilating in the corner, trying to think of something to help. I heard rocks tumbling just to spot Scar deconstructing the ground underneath Ed and Al.

"NO!" I yelled, running over. I saw them fighting in an alleyway, but that's when I head an explosion.

The only thing that went through my mind was,

Al!

I jumped over the rubble, falling a few feet before landing on the ground, stumbling a bit as I tried to make it over to Scar and Ed, who were fighting in the street.

I could see the soldiers gathering. I could see them watching. But it didn't matter to me. I just wanted to save them.

Yes, I know originally they didn't die during this, but I was so caught up in the moment that my mind wasn't functioning properly.

Lets see, calcium dioxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, and sulfate are the common elements in cement, I thought, so all I need to do is change the mineral components, and...

Ed's arm shattered. The automail pieces hung in the air for a minute, before falling on the ground with lots of 'clinks'. My mind went blank, and in attempt to stop Scar from killing Ed, I did the most ridiculous, stupid, rash thing I've ever done in my entire life.

I clapped my hands, and remembered the only circle I knew, and set them on the ground, sending a current through the cement of the paved street. And it formed a metal chair, right above Ed, blocking Scar from touching Ed.

"Scar face bastard!" I yelled with a warrior cry, rainy toward them. But before I could catch him, he deconstructed the ground, escaping through an underground tunnel.

I turned around to see quite a few troops, including some state alchemists, staring my way. I gulped, realizing what I did. But I ignored them and approached Ed to help him up.

I offered him a hand, but all he did was look at me, with those fiery yellow eyes of his, and say,

"You've seen the gate, haven't you?"

Hey guys! This chapter was better, not as sad. Am I the only one who thought Lynette spazzing out over something that happened a moment later was kinda funny? But this chapter was kinda short, I apologize, but I've been waiting SOOOO long to have this cliff hanger. Haha! I'm evil, making you wait like this. But not for long! I will update as soon as possible. Also, check out my new series, a side series of The Game Has Begun, a series of oneshots called 'Cross-Dressing Mania!'.

What'd ya think so far? Is the story good?
