"Why the hell does is have to be so damned hot out!"

Unable to take the heat anymore I set my heavy bag in the sand and sit on top of it.

Panting for water and air conditioning for what seems like the 3 millionth time since we left the train station and started crossing this ass wipe of a desert to the city called Lior.

I mean common, who has a city way out in the fucking desert anyway?

"Because its a desert dumb ass"

I instantly frown up and the blond haired boy staring down at me up above me.

For a second, his large cocky ass head blocks the sun, but he moves, taking away my one moment of sweet pleasure.

"ha ha ha, your so damn funny Ed" I spit back. Tired of dealing with all of his insults.

"Wow, I really wished you would've stayed a mute" he shoots back hoisting his suit case over his right shoulder once again and walking towards the area in which he says this stupid town in located.

"Yeah!? Well I'd wish you would grow a couple feet, but that isn't gonna happen, is it?"

I smirk seeing I've hit home as he stops dead in his tracks shaking slightly from anger.

I learned all too well how he feels about this flaw when a passenger on the train had made an innocent remark about how small something having to do with Edward was, and he totally flipped. Carrying on about his height and a whole bunch of other things the poor man never even said.

Ed then proceeded to try and attack the man, only to be restrained by Al.

Its quite funny, for me anyway, to have a front row seat to the entertainment that is via Edward Elric.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO TINY THEY COULD PASS OFF FOR A SPEC OF SAND LIKE THE ONES UNDERNEATH YOUR FEET!?!?!"

ooh. Nice one.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Well I never said anything like that Ed, but you sure did!"

"Why you!!!"

"eep!" I took off running as soon as I saw Ed coming towards me.

"Stop chasing me!"

"THEN TAKE BACK THAT IM SHORT"

"but that would be lying!!!!"

"BUT YOUR SHORTER THAN I AM DAMMIT"

"but I'm a giiiirl! Girls are supposed to be shorter!"

"AGHHH!!!"

I finally caught my breath after running away for so long, and stopped just a few feet in front of Edward as he falls to the ground.

"I hate deserts! Theres nothing but sand!" he then proceeded to push up from the ground onto his hands and knees. "If there was some grass I could turn it into bread...."

I sigh looking at the pitiful thing and then I can only help but snicker "Oh Al, help your poor deprived brother" I look around expecting a supporting Alphonse to nurture his brother into continuing on to the town. Only I get none.

No sight or sound of Alphonse Elric.

Ed seemed to notice this too and he looked left to right calling out for his brother. "AAL!...hey...hey Al! Where did you go!?...Al?"

Oh no...don't tell me he...not again.

I'm brought back to reality with my head ache from the heat by a large shout from ed

"down here brother"

I look over eds body to see an armored hand coming from the sand clamped down on Edward's leg.

Ed growled looking over his shoulder utterly tired. "Another thing I hate about the desert" he groaned before digging his brother out of the sand.

"I don't understand why you keep falling in Al!"

" I get full!" Al whines.

"ah! Fall Flat!"

Next thing I know I see a raised leg and then a sand buried Ed. Apparently, Dumbo over there kicked Al's armor plate like a dumb ass and got himself buried in the sand that poured out of him. Serves him right for being such an ass anyways.

Al started snickering. Th first real time I think Ive heard it actually. So I couldn't help but smile.

Of coarse not a second later ed is up and chasing Alphonse to seek revenge on his poor miniature self.

I wonder if he'll ever grow up.

Non-height wise.

Or at least take one step and stop being so god damned mean to me.

Then again, I guess now I have a reason to deserve it...What I said on the train...was truly terrible...and I'm not sure how deep it cut the both of them...but it may leave scars.

--
"So what other stupid shit have you gotten into on your years without us, hmmmmm?" Ed smirked, getting every chance he could to squeeze in as many insults as possible.

I think if Al hadn't been sitting there it would have been worse

"Well if you must know pig head, I really haven't been doing a lot. I mean, ever since I've moved here I've been pretty lonely. I've made a few friends at school and in the military. But nothing exciting usually goes on with me. I've taken an interest in singing and acting. I'm pretty good at painting too, I've been working on that since I left Resembool. I'm also pretty good at dancing, I took some classes for a while, but school work got heavy, so I had to drop them...So nothing much other than that. I'm kind of just the same old Catherine. Only taller. Unlike soooome people" I add on with a grin looking Ed's Direction.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD BE THE RUNT OF AN ANT FARM!?!"

"Calm down brother nobody said that" Al re-assured his brother while moving forward an arm making sure Ed didn't decide to pounce on me.

It of coarse in turn, only made Ed more pissed off.

"GOD DAMN. You know, If you weren't so fucking nosy up every body's asses and busy making my life a living hell, maybe you'd have a life!"

"I do to Have a Life!" I spat back at him.

"Oh really!?!" Ed growled back "Then why haven't we heard all about it! Its always -NOTHING- no matter what we ask you!"

"It is not always -NOTHING- I just told you I was into singing and dancing and art, weren't you listening?!?"

"No! Sorry! Guess the info went right over my head!"

"most things do" I smirk. Letting him sit there for a minute while it sinks in.

I know Hes got it when his face twists into a scowl again.

"WHO THE ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD FIT ONTO AN AIR LINE CARRY ON BAG!?!?" Ed rants as Al abruptly moves, reaching around, and grabbing his brother before he can do any damage."Brother!"

Ed continues to trash against Al's grasp. " You know what!?!? I'm glad you moved away!!! I never could Fucking Stand you in the first place!!! Good riddance was All I had to say!

Ouch.

That hurt.

SO I let him know just how much that hurt. How? By retaliating back of coarse.

I'm kind of the type who acts before they think, ha. Guess I'm like ed in that one way.

"Well MAYBE just MAYBE If I had stayed, you wouldn't have been so fucked up as to try the forbidden and Take Al's fucking body! Look at him ed! Hes just like a doll! Couldn't you stop and think for once!! think about how others feel and might be affected!?!God your always so rash and quick to act! Well look where thats gotten you!" I knew, as soon as that string of cruel words escapes my lips, that I had done wrong by saying that.

Al's arms fell limp on his brother.

Ed Glared up at me standing so he could look down at me. "Don't you ever. EVER. Say anything about my brother again! You fucking understand!? You have no idea what we Had to go through!! And its none of your god damned business! I don't EVER wanna hear you say anything like that about Al again! Got it!"

He wasn't asking, he was demanding.

Al just sat there in silence.

All I could do was gape, disappointed in myself. "I-I...I...I'm so sorry!...I mean....I didn't mean it..I was just upset and...I mean...Gosh...Al...I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry....

"Get out"

I looked up at Ed's eyes only so see those Amber orbs Burning down into mine.

I couldn't take it.

So I stood up and ran out of the train booth and down the aisle out to the back of the train.

~ALS POV~

"...you shouldn't have done that brother"

"Well Why fucking not!? She deserved it!" Ed yelled Glaring over at me while returning to his seat across from him. "She had no right to say that. None."

"...Don't you think that maybe...she feels guilty?" I commented softly looking up at him.

Ed shakes his head and looks out the window.

I kept on."I think shes hurting inside...because she knows if she had stayed in Resembool...maybe she could have prevented it...." I watched my brother carefully as he looked from the window, to his lap, to his pocket watch and up to me.

"Go talk to her...brother"

Ed sighed heavily, wiping his face with his gloved left hand. "Yeah yeah, cant make any promises though" He stood up wearily and trudged along out of the booth to search the train.

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

Sure Ed came and apologized, and we made up...But...I'm not so sure were we stand now...it was ...really odd. I liked it though~

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

"Finally!" I explain as I plop down on the stool to the juice bar drinking my juice. I give the old man that had just finished bringing us to his little booth and served us juice, a look that says 'You have no idea how much I love you for this.'

--

Ed chased Al all the way to Lior.

And then had the nerve to complain about how tired HE was as he trudged along through the town, with me and Al close behind.

I then decided to point out he didn't have to chase him.

And then he pointed out that Al didn't have to run away

"You'd run away if someone were chasing you!, too! Brother." Al complained feeling cornered when it truly wasn't his fault at all in the first place, it was a slight lack in Ed's IQ when he took that moment to kick Al's armor and get himself attacked by buckets of sand.

"Be quiet! I'm too tired to fight" ed snapped back at his brother.

...such a wonderfully pleasant trip already.

And you've gotta love all the dirty looks from strangers we're getting right about now.

"water...I can almost hear it" He snarled.

I think the Heats gotten to him, because next thing I know hes running off to a fountain, and AL chases after him.

I however, just cannot take it anymore as I drop to my knees in the sand and whine.

Next thing I know I look up to see ed lifted off the ground and over the fountain by an old skinny man who seems to be scolding him for something. Figures. I've already figured out that Ed is always getting into one thing or another, and I've only been traveling with them for approximately 24 hours.

I zone out of the conversation ed is having with the juice bar guy, I think I'm getting high off this juice...well, there's a first time for everything.

Next time I bring myself back to reality its because ed has attracted the attention of a handful of towns members...and is attacking them.

[---Insert Mental Sigh here----]

I see a woman slip out of the booth from the corner of my eye....was she there before? I didn't even notice her come over.

And dressed in all black like that in the desert?

I know some people go to extents to be goth, but I mean..come on. Its like 50bajillion degrees out!

I think she must have heard me? Because she just stopped and looked at me...and now shes walking down that dark alley....

I feel a cold hand tug on my arm, and I'm lulled by it. That is of coarse, until one, I find out its Edward, how do I know its Edward?

Because of two, He yanked me off my stool and I fell to the ground.

..and three, now he's laughing.

"Shut up would you! I'm tired!"

"yeah yeah, common, We're heading over to the church to get a room" He says smirking down at me

I just look up at him confused

"weren't you paying attention to anything just now?. Probably not. Probably too damn busy zoning out about girlie things" And with that he yanks me to his feet and motions for me to follow him, Where Al and a girl are already ahead of us.

I sadly, and Lazily follow in a few steps behind as we pass the alley way.

A sudden shine of unusual light ketches my eye.

Ive always been into light. Call me a weirdo I guess. But Light alchemy is really the only type I can preform..besides basic things, but even then I somehow manage to screw that up. ALWAYS.

You'd think differently coming from the daughter of a general in the military who also happens to be a state alchemist, and not just any alchemist, but the Flame Alchemist.

Sometimes hearing that name makes me sick

reminds me of everything I'm not.

I now realize that my feet have taken over, and I have no control over them as I wonder down the alley.

I snap out of the daze I was just in and stop myself before turning the corner to the small, square, dead end section.

That's when I heard them.

"So the Fullmetal shorty Is finally here~?" I hear a rather unusual voice ask. I'm assuming its male though, because it is a little too deep to be a girls.

"Yes, he is, His brother too..although I think there was someone else with him as well?" I hear a very seductive feminine voice recall.

"oh? Who~?"

"A young girl, about Edwards height, so she must be around his age. I've never seen the like of her before, but somehow she looked extremely familiar"

"A young girl huh~? Sound interesting, I cant wait to meet that Lil thing~"

I cant sustain myself any longer. I have to know where these voices are coming from! Hell, maybe the heat is getting to me and I'm hearing things now too!

I slowly peek my head around the corner just enough to see a tall woman, the woman from the juice bar, and the back of what looks like some palm tree girl.

But then..where was the male voice coming from?

At that moment the palm tree turns around grinning, not looking my direction.

Aaah yup, hes most def. A guy....a guy in a skirt...wow. Never thought I'd actually see a cross dresser before...

wait...is that a skort?

Wait...why do I care?

"Very interesting" the palmtree smirks

and with that, they both disappear.

That's right! They disappear into thin air!!

...holy shit

This is too much for one day, I think I may faint.

~AL'S POV~

"I'm not short! You people just come from a desert tribe of Giants or somthin!" Ed growls chasing after Rose.

"I look around for Cat, to make sure she hasn't fainted yet, and thats when I see it. Shes gone.

"Brother!" I call after him

"Shut up!"

"brother!" I try again

"you wanna piece of this too!?"

"Brother Cats gone!"

With that, he stops dead in his track and turns looking around "Aw Fuck! Why the hell does Everybody keep disappearing! I swear you should all become fucking magicians!"
