Edward Elric yawned and stretched. Winry had more or less dragged him to the robotics club. He leaned back and put his hands behind his head, he was dressed in his usual black shirt and red jacket. He crossed his legs and looked over to where Winry was practically salivating over Chachamaru, the school's first humanoid battle robot. Chachamaru herself had been waiting patently while the robotics club had upgraded her systems and weapons, but she still could help wondering where Evangeline, her mistress was and why she was taking so long to come and retrieve her. Usually, the diminutive vampire kept Chachamaru close by in case she was attacked, her child form being poorly suited to combat.
Ed wasn't really surprised at Winry's decision to join the robotics team, she had always been very into machinery ever since they had been kids. It was probably just as well he thought as he flexed the fingers on his right hand and felt the automail contract under his glove. After all, if Winry hadn't been such a good mechanic he would have been short an arm and a leg.
Winry straightened and brushed some of her blonde hair out of her face and whipped her face with a rag. Turning to where Chachamaru was sitting and then turned her gaze to the array of computer's which were set up.
"It looks like everything is all set over here. Ed are you ready with the new code yet?" Winry asked placing the wrench she had been holding in the back pocket of her overalls.
Edward was just on the point of answering when a voice chirped up from behind the computers and a girl that couldn't have been more than 13 stuck her head out from behind a monitor. The girl was slightly tan, very thin, and had unruly red hair. She was wearing a white t-shirt and black work out pants, which only accentuated her thinness. A pair of huge goggles covered her eyes and were connected to the computer.
"Yes! Yes! Ed's code is all set lady!" The girl piped cheerfully.
She also was tan, but her hair was blonde and pulled back into a ponytail. She was wearing an orange tank top and khaki shorts. She had a visor helmet on over her eyes which had a design of three eyes on it. She gave Chachamaru a slap, probably harder than was strictly necessary, on the back causing the robot to shift a little in her chair and said,
"I love working on Chacha-chan because she's always got fun features!" The girl said pushing the goggles up off her eyes and hugging Chachamaru who didn't really react except to look at her questioningly, "She's just like a persacom with guns and rockets!"
Edward sat up and gave Winry a bemused look.
"I wasn't aware Fukenawa Academy let in student who are so young." He mused.
"Su and Ed are both super talented inventors. As far as I can tell they're both here on full scholarships from the science department. Edward Elric, meet Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the 4th." Winry said sontering over to where Edward was sitting and gesturing with her wrench towards the girl be hind the computers.
Edward raised an eye brow.
"A girl named Edward? That's a new one." He mused
Winry shrugged, "Well she's a genius with a computer. The one over behind Chachamaru is Su Kaolla. I have no idea where she is from, but she's better at robotics than anyone I've ever met before."
Ed stood from behind the computers and did a summersault over the monitors, strectched her arms out to her sides and ran in zigzags to where Edward and Winry were standing. She popped to a stop and stared excitedly at Edward.
"Are you the one with the metal arm?" She asked excitedly as she began to paw at Edward's coat, "Ed want's to see!"
The door opened as Ed was clambering all over Edward's back and a bemused Sae peeked around the door. Technically speaking, alchemy was a science and not magic at. That being said, Sae had decided that her best bet for finding out about the Millenium Earl would be to talk to the president of the school's Alchemy club. He had described himself as the time traveling Alchemist after all. She took in the scene before speaking, (Ed was now biting Edward's jacket while he failed and attempted to shake the crazy girl off).
"Um… excuse me? Edward-sempei can… can I talk to you for a moment?"
Edward gave a grateful sigh and shaking off the still clinging Ed hurried over to the door.
