DISCLAIMER: I dont own Fullmetal Alchemist.

ONWARD!

Yawing, Kailee stretched and looked around the room. Crystal lay on a couch opposite to her. While Vanessa, Celina, and Stephanie occupied the other three couches surrounding the coffee table. Ed and Al were in their room. The window was still letting in a breeze much cooler than the day before. Shivering she pulled the blanket up over her shoulders and huddled there.

The sun was just coming up over the horizon. Pink and gold spread across the cloudless morning sky. The leaves outside rustled almost silently, making a soft, relaxing, river-like sound. It was soothing. She turned her head, suddenly, when she heard creaking coming from the bedroom. The door slowly opened and Edward came out, trying to be as quiet as possible. Getting up she wrapped a smaller blanket around her shoulders and tiptoed up to him.

She rest a hand on his shoulder to catch his attention, he turned around. He looked somewhat startled, then smiled when he saw it was her. She blushed at this, taking her hand off, and looked away.

"You're a really good drawer."

She looked towards him again. "Thanks."
"The characters on the back… I've seen them before… in many places."

"The sins… and Scar… they're after you right?"
Ed tore his gaze from her and looked away. "Yes."
He wore a short-sleeved shirt revealing his automail arm. He poured some water into two glasses and handed one two Kailee who took it gratefully. Sticking one hand in his leather pant pocket, he took a sip and leaned against the counter. His automail arm shone in the morning light that seeped through the window. His hair blew loosely around his face. It was amazing how it seemed to stay straight even though he had it in a braid most of the time. She hadn't really gotten a good look at him and was awed by his features.
"You two are up early," Vanessa yawned and poured herself a glass of water as well.

"Ah! Um. Morning Nessy…" Kailee smiled.

"Nessy?"
"Um, yeah. It's a nickname," both girls said at once.
"Ah. I see."
"You see what?" Al had come out of the room.
"Never mind."
"Mmkay…"
Kailee and Vanessa both hopped up onto the counter. Putting the blanket she had been using down beside her, Kailee crossed her legs and examined Al's armour intently. Vanessa looked over to where the other three girls were still sleeping. It was probably nearly 7:30 and they were still asleep. How could they still sleep? The room was beginning to light up. Glancing back towards her friend who was still examining Al's armoured body, she noticed Edward gazing in Kailee's direction. Al also noticed this and started to laugh. Edward turned to his younger brother with a look of shock spread neatly across his features. Vanessa began to laugh as well causing Kailee, who hadn't noticed any of this, to look around in confusion.

Quickly turning around Ed walked towards the cupboard. Kailee glanced at Edward and then back at Al and her Vanessa. She then proceeded to jump off the counter and walk over to her slumbering friends. Rolling her eyes she shook each of them. "Five more minutes…" Crystal yawned lazily and brushed at the hands disturbing her sleep.

"Get up."

Crystal pulled the covers over her head and turned her back towards the auburn-haired girl. She rolled her eyes. Celina would probably be easier to wake. Again she shook her friend. "EH?! NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE OATMEAL!"
"…"
Celina rubbed her eyes. She took one look at her friend's sarcastic expression and blushed. "What?"

"You don't want to be oatmeal…?"

"Eh. Um. No. 'Cause. Um. Who would really?"

Laughing, Kailee walked over to her third friend and shook her. Nothing. She then sat on her legs. Nothing. She tugged the covers off and threw them at Celina who caught them clumsily. Nothing. "GET UP!" Nothing.

"I have concluded that she is dead." Kailee looked over at Celina and laughed.

Celina walked over and tried to roll Stephanie off the couch. THUD! "OW!" Celina laughed and gave her friend a high-five. Stephanie got off the ground and gave both girls a menacing 'I'm-going-to-kill-you-when-I-get-the-chance' glare. Crystal had to be woken now. All three girls looked at each other. Edward, Al, and Vanessa all exchanged glances. Stephanie smirked. Celina and Kailee both nodded. Stephanie then bent down to Crystal's ear…
"GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP!!!" she screamed in her ear.
Crystal jolted upward, wide-eyed, horrified. Celina and Kailee burst out laughing. Stephanie crossed her arms and grinned. "Morning, sunshine." Crystal groaned and threw her pillow at the girls. "Screw you." Getting up she stomped over towards Vanessa. Still laughing the other girls followed. Vanessa suppressed a laugh and smiled sympathetically at her annoyed friend, who hopped up on the counter beside her. Crystal stuck her tongue out at Stephanie who shrugged and went to get something to drink.

------------ Later-------------

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Ed screamed.
Kailee ran outside. "What?! What happened?!"

Looking up the hill she saw a figure of a man. "Hey, Fullmetal." The man walked down the hill towards Edward. Kailee ran up beside him and watched the approaching figure. "Who's that?" she whispered. Dark hair framed dark eyes. He was fairly tall and looked to be very fit. He wore a blue military uniform with a black coat.

"Damn bastard." Ed muttered.

"Huh?"

"It's Roy," Ed glanced over his shoulder at her, "the colonel."
