DISCLAIMER: Don't own FMA.

ONWARD!

Edward groaned. Kailee looked over at him. They had been wandering around central for a few hours 'touring'. Roy was leading the party around explaining every place. Stephanie rolled her eyes. He was way too enthusiastic about this. Vanessa and Crystal walked on either side of Kailee, Stephanie and Celina walked just in front of them, Ed and Al were just behind. Coming around a corner Roy pointed out several different buildings, two of which were the military's.

Not really paying too much attention to where she was going, Crystal ran into a girl. The girl stumbled backwards. Catching herself she stood stiff. Her Amber hair flowed down to the middle of her back. Amber eyes scanned the group. Kailee moved from behind everyone to get a look at the girl. Crystal scratched the back of her head. "Um sorry."

The girl turned her attention to Crystal. "That's alright. I wasn't paying too much attention to where I was going." She stepped forward toward the group. "My name is Ayla."

"I'm Crystal."

Kailee stepped forward. "I'm Kailee and this it Stephanie, Vanessa, Celina, Roy, Al, and Ed." She gestured to each individual.

Ayla smiled. "Hello."

Suddenly a girl with pale blonde hair ran up to Ayla. "AYLA! AYLA! YOU LEFT ME! HOW COULD YOU?!"

Ayla turned around to confront the hyper girl. "Sorry, Laura." She looked genuinely sorry.

"Yeah right."

"I am! I kinda got lost in thought and sorta wandered away… and… I am really sorry!"

Laura sighed. "Fine. Forgiven."

Ayla smiled. "Good!"

"Who are they?" Laura made a slight gesture towards the group.

"Um I kinda ran into them…" Ayla coughed.

Laura rolled her eyes. "You really need to keep your head out of the clouds."

"You're one to talk! You really need to lay off the sugar!" Ayla snapped back defensively. She poked Laura in the side causing her to squeak in protest. Edward raised an eyebrow. Roy grinned. Everyone else burst into laughter.

Finally the laughter died down. "What are you girls doing in central?" Roy asked.

Ayla and Laura turned to look at the dark haired man. "We're learning alchemy," they both announced.

Ed and Al exchanged glances. "Oh." Al said.

Laura jumped up and down. "We're getting really good at it too!"

Kailee glanced at Ed. Crystal hopped over to Laura. "Can you show us something?"

Laura turned to Ayla. "Can we?"

Ayla nodded. "Okay!"

Both girls pulled a piece of chalk out of their pockets. Working together they created a large circle and started drawing lines inside and outside of it. Ayla worked to draw small designs here and there. Laura shifted around Ayla to draw a few smaller circles around the large circle. Finally both girls stood up. Laura brushed her hands together sending small clouds of chalk into the air. Ayla coughed, choking on the chalk dust.

Edward examined the circle. He recognized it from somewhere… Suddenly the two girls smacked their hands down on the circle. Pale blue gleams of light shot up from the circle. Kailee covered her eyes from the blinding light. The light died down after a few moments revealing a statue. The stone person stood above the group slightly. The statue was of a woman wearing a long coat. She wore pants and a tank top. Long straight hair pulled back in to a ponytail fell down to her waist. The two girls stood, proudly, side by side.

Crystal and Vanessa gaped. "Wow! Right down to the last detail!" Celina exclaimed.

"Yup!" the two girls said in sync.

The sun was beginning to set. A mixture of pink and purple were beginning to plaster the sky. Kailee gazed at the sky. The clouds began to change colour as well. Looking back from the sky to her friends she noticed Ed looking in her direction but as if he were lost in thought. She blinked. "Ed? Is something wrong?"

Edward shook his head and then looked at her. "No. Nothing."

Roy smirked. "Why don't you girls join us? I'm sure Fullmetal and I could teach you a thing or two!"

Edward's eyes widened. "What?! No way! Besides! They probably already have a teacher!"

The girls shifted. "Actually we don't. We've been learning from books mostly and the odd random person helps us." Ayla looked at the ground.

"Aaaww, come ooonn! Pleeeeaaase?" Laura pouted.

Ayla giggled then joined Laura. "Yeah! Pleeaaaaasse?"

"No." Edward crossed his arms.

"Pretty pleeeaaaassse?" Both girls attempted to do a puppy dog pout.

He rolled his eyes. 'I'll kill Roy.' He sent a death glare at Roy before turning to confront the girls. "Why should I?"

The girls looked at each other. Ayla shifted. Laura pouted a bit. Finally Ayla spoke. "Because! It would be a big help to us. And, who knows, there might be benefits for you too!"

Kailee and Edward exchanged a glance. Ed raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"

Ayla obviously didn't think of that. She looked at Laura who just shrugged in response. Ayla looked back to Ed. "Um… I don't know…"

Edward crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "Then I don't think I should."

The girls' eyes widened. They gave each other a worried glance then ran up to him squealing. "Please! Please! Please! Please! We'll do anything!!"

Edward opened an eye to give Kailee a mischievous grin. "Anything?"

"Anything!"

"Fine."

Both girls jumped around in circles. "Thank you!" Laura did a little dance. Ayla laughed and joined her. Everyone else stared for a moment. Roy coughed. "Well!"

Stephanie nodded. "Yeah. Well."

Kailee and Vanessa exchanges amused glances. Celina and Crystal both laughed. Ayla and Laura ran up to Edward. "When can we start?"

Edward glanced at Al who shrugged. Sighing Edward looked at the girls. "Whenever."

"How about today?" Ayla grinned from ear to ear. Laura threw her hands up into the air. "Yeah! Or first thing tomorrow?"

"I'd rather start tomorrow. It'll be too dark to start today." Edward said.

"Okay!" Both girls beamed. "Where do we sleep?"

Edward blinked. "Don't you have a place to stay?"

"Nope!" Everyone gave the girls a blank look. "What?"

Roy put his hands on his hips. "Well then you'll just have to stay with me."

"No way, you pervert!" Ed screeched.

Kailee crossed her arms. "Maybe they should stay with us. There is lots of room in your apartment."

Stephanie nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I wouldn't leave them with Roy for a million bucks."

Kailee looked at her friends who all nodded then to Ed who gave in with a sigh. She grinned. "Good. Its decided then. You'll stay with us."

Oooohhh what will happen? Thanks for the ideas for the character Ayla, Breeze94, much appreciated! Laura is one of my friends from school who hasn't been in a Fanfiction yet and I felt that I had to put her in. Besides. She'll make things interesting!

Laura: Squee! I'm in a Fanfic! And I'm HYPER! And I've got a friend with a cool name!
Me: (sweatdrop) Oh yes. Be proud. Be very proud.
Crystal: Took you long enough! And you still missed your deadline! SHAME!
Me: . I'M SORRY!
Crystal: And you should be! Gosh!
Nessy: Oh go easy on her Crystal.
Me: Nessyyyy!!! Crystal's picking on meeeee!!
Nessy: So I see.
