(After years of living on the streets, Serenity ends up in the military headquarters. This is after the fall of Ishval. Oh before I forget, did I mention that Serenity could use alchemy. She use's ice alchemy.) Serenity walks into the large building, wearing a black kimono and a white ribbon in her white hair. Shellie, a girl Serenity met while traveling who calls her sister, was walking by her side. Shellie was abandoned as an orphan and was rejected for her use of water alchemy. The moment Serenity eyes locked with Shellie's, they became attached. Serenity walked up to the main counter, with Shellie following. Serenity looks at the main sitting at the desk, typing on the computer. He is about 6'3'', and he was as bald as the dessert. "May I help you miss?, the man asked. Serenity looked down at him, "There were signs and the asked for help and I. . . " The man stands up and looks Serenity and Shellie over. The man holds out his hand, "I'm Lieutenant Armstrong. I don't know if the little one can join, but we'll see. Who might ya'll be?" Shellie smiled shyly, hiding behind Jessie's kimono, "I'm Shellie, and I use water alchemy." Shellie then hides behind Serenity and says, "Mommy?" Serenity growls and pops Shellie on the head, "Quit calling me mommy!" Serenity smiles then thinks, "I'm, um Jessie. I'm an Ice alchemist." Shellie gives her sister a questioning look, and then nods. Armstrong smiles at the two ladies. "Come with me you two, we have to test your skills. See if your worthy.", Armstrong smiles. The three of them walk down the hallways, pass a strange man who had jet-black hair and glasses. The man smiles at Armstrong, then at the two young ladies, "Have you seen my kid? Isn't she the sweetest thing you ever seen?" Armstrong laughs at Shellie and Jessie (Serenity) for the expressions across their faces. "This is Lieutenant Hudges.", Armstrong laughs. They continue to walk until they reach a closed in glass chamber. "Okay you two, we're gonna see what your made of.", stated Armstrong. Jessie and Shellie walk into the chamber.
(Present day-with scar's view now) Scar comes up to an Ishvallian camp, about two miles away from Ishval. Its about three pm in the afternoon, and Scar was tired of walking. He smiles as he walks through the camp, seeing some familiar faces. He walks over to the old man that helped him before. "Do you have any where I can rest?", he asks. The old man looks at him smiling, "Your back, yes I do. This tent behind me has no one in it if you want to use it." Scar nods and heads in the tent with a simple 'Thank you'. He notices a cot on the floor. Scar sits down on the cot resting a bit. He pulls out the little stuffed bear, and nuzzles it. (Shouldn't you go back to her?) Scar sighs, stareing at the roof, "Why should I?" (We all make mistakes.) He lays his body on the cot, propping up his feet, "Like hell we don't. Why should I go back to her?" (Because she fought just to talk to you. Does that mean anything to you?) "It did.", he says as he closes his heavy eyes. (It should. She told you she remembered. She told you she did still love you, and what did you do? You pushed her away!) Scar rolls to lie on his side. (I bet you're just afraid to love again. You're just a big coward. You always hide how you truly feel. You're a big . . .) "Shut the fuck up. You don't know me. Leave me alone.", Scar groans. (You forget, I Am YOU.)
(Again, with another flash back-Scars memory)
After the death of his brother, and his brothers' fiancé, Rin travels among the ruins of the destroyed Ishval. A small stuffed bear is in his sash for safekeeping. It's about four pm in the afternoon, as the sun burns over the quite town. Rin has traveled for five years after Serenity had left him. The only thing that has kept him alive for this many years, hope. His brother gave up his arm just to save Rin. Rin now stares down at the strange markings on his arm. "Why did he give me this?", Rin wondered. Rin shivers at the memory of him and his brother, lying on the ground, almost lifeless. "Where is all my family?", Rin groans aloud.
(Present day-with Jessie) "Well get dressed Shell, we're on call today.", Jessie sighs. Shellie whines, "I DON'T WANNA!" Jessie looks at her sister happily. (Some things never change.) Shellie stomps upstairs, her black hair swaying behind her. "Who knows, we might see Ed today." , Jessie said grinning. Suddenly there was a commotion of running feet upstairs. (Never fails.) Jessie walks upstairs slowly. (Maybe I'll see Kimbley today.) Shellie , literally fly's down the stairs, wearing her military uniform. "Why aren't you ready Jess? Come on, We're going to be late!", Shellie shouted. Jessie, who hates being rushed, goes into her room, and suits up. "HURRY UP JESSIE!", Shellie shouts. Jessie grumbles as she walks downstairs in her uniform, not in a good mood. "Why be so grumpy? We get to see EEEEEEDDDD!", she drooled. Jessie starts laughing at her sister, then hands her a towel, "You got a little drool on ya sis." Shellie blushed and wiped it off. "What about you sis? Don't you want to see Kimbley?", Shellie asked. Jessie grinned at the ceiling, "Yes, I would like to talk to that moron again."A car horn goes off outside. Both girls look at each other annoyed, "Car pull!" Both of them run outside into the rain, and hurriedly get on the bus. Shellie looks at her sister, "When did it start raining?" Jessie looks out the windows as she sits in one of the open seats, "I don't know, I didn't hear any rain in the house." Shellie sits down next to her, also staring out the window. "I guess we'll be taking the bus home tonight.", Shellie assumed. Jessie leaned back in the seat, closing her eyes. (Now I get to watch people as they come on the bus.) Jessie grins. Shellie looks at her sister, "What are you grinning about?" Jessie smirks opening her eyes, "You and Ed would make a lovely couple." Shellie makes a shocked face then playfully elbowed her sister, "That's mean Jess!" Jessie looks at Shellie confused. "What do you ever so mean my dear sister?", she whispers in a playful tone. The bus stops and a man with jet black hair gets on. His suit is wet and he has his hair tied up in a pony tail. Jessie continues to stare as he walks past them and sits down in the seat behind them. Shellie grins evilly, "Hey Jess, your cute friend just sat behind us." Jessie stares at her sister in disbelief. (How could she just do that to me?) The man leans over the seat and breaths on Jessie's ear. "Good morning me dear, did you sleep well?", the man asks. Jessie shivers, "Yes Kimbley, I slept well. You?" Shellie goes up to the front of the bus, laughing her ass off on the way. (I'll get you good later Shellie just you see.) Kimbley gets up and sits next to Jess, "So how is life treating you?" Jessie sighs and tells him, "It was alright until a friend of mine showed up last night." Kimbley looks at her oddly, "Tell me all about it dear." Jessie smiles and lays her head on his wet chest, "He was an ex. of mine. He came by last night and rallied me up." Kimbley smiles looking down at her, his hand strokes her head. "I may be still an ex. to you, but you still mean a lot to me, you know that?", he asks her. Shellie grins from the front seat as Ed walks on the bus. Shellie sticks her tongue out at Jessie before turning around and saying hi. Jessie looks up at Kimbley, "Do you mean that?" Kimbley smiles looking down at her, his warm breath felt on her face, "Always." Kimbley leans down and kisses her nose.
(Again, with another flash back-Jessie's memory)
Shellie and Jessie (Serenity) walk around the empty chamber. "Don't be scare little ones. This camber will let you release your energy, yet not harm us." , came a voice from outside the glass. Shellie stared through the small reflecting window, and waved. "Yes I can see you little one, though you can't see me. Alright let begin the test.", the strange voice said. A blue light filled the room. The room's temperature at once began to drop dramatically. Shellie and Jessie's breath came out as cool steam. Shellie looked at Jessie scared, "Sissy?" Jessie walked over to Shellie and wrapped her arms around the young child. The voice came on again, " Jessie you begin, show us something simple, that way Shellie will be more comfortable." Jessie nods and backs away from Shellie. Jessie's breathing stopped as she concentrated on what she was about to do. Jessie's eyes turned to an icy blue as a swirl of ice particles winded around her body. Shellie stood next to the wall, knowing better than to stay to close. Suddenly the cell shook and Ice crystals the size of cars, pounded up from the floor and stood as shield around Jessie. Applause came from the view window. "Excellent, very good. Now how you did that I have no idea, but good job." Jessie breathed in a deep breath for the first time in a sum of five minutes. The light of the room changed to a lighter blue. "Okay, Shellie show us what you can do my dear.", came that voice again. Shellie stepped out into the middle of the room, in front of the ice prism that had sealed Jessie inside. Shellie closed her eyes as her body started to relax. All the ice in the room began to melt. After a few minutes, the ice seal was broken and Jessie broke free, running to the corner of the room. Shellie concentrated really hard and summoned all the water molecules in the room to surround her. She even drawled water from the cracks in the floor made by Jessie. Shellie then, with all her might pushed all the water into the hole in the cell floor, forcing it into the viewing room, drowning everyone in there. Lieutenant Armstrong opened the side door, flooding the hallway. Shellie lost focus and opened her eyes. "Oups!", she began to laugh. Jessie burst out laughing, "Good one Shell, I would give you an A plus if this were a test." Lieutenant Armstrong opened the side door to the cell. He was drenched, "You both pass."
