Lets see. This chapter is sort of winging it. I've been trying to plan out discreetly whats going to happen in this chapter. But I just cant come up with one good way to do it, so I'm winging it.

For those of you who don't like ooc characters. You might not like this chapter if I Decide to bring Envy in. But I wanna keep Envy as a Trump card, so I don't think He'll be appearing with Cat in this chapter.

This episode pretty much goes along with the anime with a few changes because of the added character.

So here goes

DISLCAIMER : I don't own FMA. Or the characters In it.

ooh

That feels nice.

I felt a light wind blowing along my skin as I awoke. Dazed and confused about where the hell I was.

I sat up slightly seeing I was now in a bed room that consisted of one bed, one couch, a few chairs, a dresser, a table, and some smaller tables with little decorations on them.

The sun that was setting outside made the whole room glow a certain reddish gold color thanks to the wall paper. It was nice. I turned my head to the left to see a fan made out of tiny pieces of scrap. One of the Elric's must have made it using Alchemy to help me cool off...

What was it that happened again?

Speaking of Elric's, where are they?

I looked around the room again to see a familiar small blond haired boy sitting in a chair, his head cocked to the side, staring out the window intently. Looking deep in thought.

I sat up leaning on my elbows studying him for a moment.

The deep, golden sun shone through the window onto his golden locks and bright amber eyes sort of illuminating him in a glow.

I'm not going to Lie to you, He looked pretty damned handsome...er...I mean..He looked really...nice...yeah...nice. Thats about it.

Believe me.

...all shimmering …

…........

I shook my head finding myself staring.

Stop it.

Edward must have noticed the rapid movement because his glowing Amber eyes moved their position settling on me. "Oh, Your awake! You had me and Al worried sick about you. We thought you'd had a heat stroke!"

I sat up all the way watching him stand and make his way over to me.

"S-sorry" was all I could manage to get out. My throat dry, and my voice hoarse.

"Oh, here" Ed said softly moving across the room and coming back over with a glass of water speaking all as he went. "I cant believe you wandered off like that in a place like this, I could understand If you had just fainted on the way, but you were back in some Alley, out of our way, all the way back near the Juice bar. What were you thinking? Going off by yourself in your condition?"

I took the glass from him and gulped it all down. "Well sorry, I didn't really realize I had a condition until just now."

"Do you feel sick?"

"No, I'm fine"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive" I replied placing the glass on the bedside table.

Ed watched me carefully. "Well, yeah okay, you seem to be alright now, so, are you gonna tell me what you were doing back in that alley way or what?" he insisted.

I blinked thinking for a second but I drew a blank. "I...I don't remember."

Ed quirked an eyebrow "you don't remember?"

I shook my head yes slowly, not believing that I couldn't remember either.

Ed then took it upon himself to pull his glove off his left hand and place it against my forehead.

I guess his sudden action of caring caught me off guard, because I felt the heat rising to my cheeks.

"You don't seem to have a fever... are you sure you're okay?"

I frowned. "Yes Ed, I feel fine."

His amber eyes locked with my emeralds for a long moment and then he pulled his hand back and slid it back into his glove. "Alright, well...I guess...when you remember..Let me know?"

I nodded looking around the room once again trying to get my blood flowing from my face again.

There was a bit of a long awkward pause and I could feel his Eyes burning into me.

I couldn't take it anymore. So I decided to change the subject

"So uh.. where's Alphonse?" I asked quietly looking at him.

"Al went to go speak with Rose, the girl from earlier, she got us this room because she works here at the church under that Cornello. Al went to go see what information he could gather about the current situation here in Lior, see if there's anything that comes up that wasn't in the summary of the area." He replied stretching.

"Oh" I replied simply and looked out the portion of the window I could see through. It was mostly just the sky, but it sure was gorgeous. All the colors blended in the sky. Shades of light violet, pink and orange clashed creating a soothing back round to the desert city view.

~~ ED'S POV~~

She looked out the window, her eyes sort of glazed over In a daze.

I could tell she was tired.

She got a few hours of sleep on the train, But I know how much train sleep sucks, so her exhaustion was understandable. Hell, I was tired beyond belief as well.

I just stood there watching her. Not really having anything else to say.

Her dark black hair hung loose, a little messy from the heat and the fan blew it around her face softly.

Her face that was now tanning from the exposure to the sun was shaped by her bangs and short hair that hung in the front sides by her ears.

Her cheeks had turned a soft pink Rosie color. I guess from the heat as well.

Her eyes were as Green as ever. Popping in contrast to her dark hair and darkening skin. I always loved those eyes of hers...wait..WHAT?!?

...well...I guess its not weird to love someones eyes even if you don't love the person.

I smiled to myself.

Cat had always been like a younger sister to Al and I.

I don't think that will ever change, and I don't want it too. I'm glad a piece of our past has gone undamaged into the present.

I looked out the window in the direction she was, and I saw what she was staring at.

The sky was very pretty here at sunset.

Kind of like the way the sun used to set in Resembool.

Ah. Good times.

I'm sure she probably doesn't remember most of the times we had, since it was so long ago. I'm sure I've even forgot quite a few. But hey, whats in the past is in the past, I think if it were important I'd remember. I do have a handful of good memories with her, and a bit of sad ones.

Especially when her mom died.

I remember having to be there for her, its okay though, because I wanted to be with her. All night she would cry sometimes. But I was there, going through it with her. No one should have to cry alone about something like that. Grace, Her mother, was like a part of our family too. Both of them were. Grace and mom were best friends, which is how Cat and I met. HAH. I'll never forget that either.

"Edward?"

A sudden soft feminine voice brought me back from my thoughts.

I snapped out of my daze and my eyes landed on Cat in the bed gazing up at me.

"What are you doing?" She questioned tilting her head to the side, the way she does a lot, I've come to find.

I smiled softly "Nothing, just thinking is all"

"About the mission?" She asked curiously

"Yeah" I lied "the mission."

____________________

Edward left a little while ago, telling me he was going to pick up some food and see if he could find Alphonse. He told me if I started to feel sick or faint again, to drink more water and lay down.

I didn't have a problem with doing either of those things.

I'm laying here on the bed now, staring at the ceiling enjoying the soft wind from the fan letting it dance across the surface of my skin, blowing the tiny hairs on my arms. (oh you know everyone has them, like normal arms. Lol xD )

The sun is almost completely gone now. But still enough light filled the room to see.

At least 30 minutes must have passed since Edward left.

How long does it take to get food? I mean seriously. I'll be asleep before he gets here.

Ugh. There's nothing to do. So I'm forced to lay here talking to myself in my head, entertaining myself with pointless thoughts until The Elric brothers return.

Humn...I know. Maybe if I imagine I'm on a beach, with the nice cool waves swishing against my ankles...

Maybe then, Just maybe, I'll feel a little better, and keep awake until Edward and Alphonse return.

I closed my eyes imagining the scene.

The long shore with seashells and the rushing waves running along it.

The water a clear crystal blue, and sea gulls over head. The tiny hairs on my skin stood up as I imagined the temperature drop to a beach in the evening. The Wind blowing my hair softly along my tanned body.

I walked along this imaginary beach through the shallow water, chilling my ankles to a soothing cold in contrast to the thick heat I was in back in reality that forced its way into my fantasy.

The beach would be lined on one side with a beautiful picked fence and tons of palm trees shaping the beach into what resembled a......a......wait...

Whats this thats just rung off in my head?

Oh my god!

I sat up quick.

PALMTREE!!

Images of the palm tree haired cross dresser and the dark hooded woman in the alley way re-appeared in my mind.

That was what had happened! That was why I fainted!

They disappeared! Into thin air!!

That most definitely wasn't normal!! I had to tell Ed! They seemed to know him after all. So Edward must be able to give me some answers!

..Right?

____________________________________________________________

weee lol "PALMTREE" xD

haha.

Sorry Fangirlies

No Envy.

Lol. A mentioning of Envy, But I decided to keep him back for now, he'll re-appear in the next few chapters, but not with Cat I don't think.

I'd really like to keep Envy in character, so I'm holding off my fan girl urges and bringing him to full view later. Sorry.

Fuck me in the face, I know.

Well, I hope you liked this chapter. I think it was pretty good for winging it, especially as tired as I am. LoL.

Review please? I didn't get so many last time, it's Disappointing.

also, if you have any advice, or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, besides the fact that my grammar sucks, feel free to give it. ^^

Also, bribes may make me update faster, although I'm not so sure about this week, Finals are coming up soon and I have Musical practices on top of all that, But I'll do my best!!

R&R!!!!! x3
