Rin continues to journey around Ishval hopelessly. "Where could every one have gone? Did every one die?", he spoke to himself. Rin wonders onto the once darkened allies. (I'll find her yet.) Rin looks at a mother lying on the ground with a child gently suckling for life. Rin at first smiles, then walks on frowning. (I hope Serenity found a better life than that. It would be a shame for her good skills to have died out.) Rin continues to wonder the streets.
(Present day-with Jessie) Ed and Shellie are sitting up in the front of the bus. It's now around eleven am and Jessie was fast asleep in Kimbley's arms. Shellie smiled at Ed, "So what are ya supposed to be doing today?" Ed looks out at the rain. Al, who was sitting behind them, whispered, "Monitor duty." Shellie tries to hold down her giggling. Monitor duty is where the military officers dress up in janitor's suits and clean up the mess halls. "Me and Jessie are on call today.", Shellie said still giggling. Kimbley wrapped his arms tighter around Jessie as he started to does off. The bus stops again, and picks up Lieutenant Armstrong. "AH, Its mister sparkle!", Shellie sequels as she tries to hide. Lieutenant Armstrong smiles at them. "Good morning!", he boast. Lieutenant Armstrong them walks up, and sits behind Jessie and Kimbley. Shellie laughs her ass off, "Oh dear god! There's gonna be a war." Ed looks at Shellie questioning then looks away embarrassed, "About what you said earlier, about being on call. Be careful." Shellie looks at him, "What?" Ed stares at the window, otherwise remaining silent. Lieutenant Armstrong pulls Kimbley's pony tail, trying to stir him. Kimbley opens one of his eyes. He becomes slightly angry, then calms down remembering that Jessie was still in his arms. "Yes Armstrong?", he asks calming. Armstrong looks down at the two, "How was your morning my dear buddy?" (-Shellie's thought- oh god, he's gonna get it!) Kimbley smiles down at the women sleeping in his arms, "At the moment, great. You?" Armstrong chuckled, "Besides spilt coffee, just fine." Kimbley nods, and nuzzles Jessie's ear. Jessie looks up at him, acknowledging that she's in his lap, and blushes, "Yes?" Armstrong gives Jessie a big smile, "GOOD MORNING!" Jessie, literally jumps off Kimbley's lap, and sit on the floor. Kimbley laughs and tries to help her up. (Jessie's thought- DAMN YOU Armstrong, I was comfy.) Jessie sits back in the seat. Armstrong tries again, "GOOD MORN. . ." Jessie, in one quick instant, had pulled out her gun and aimed it between Armstrong's eyes. "You say one more cheerful word, you die!", Jessie glared. Armstrong gulped in fear, and Shellie was back to laughing. Al mocked, "Jessie please don't shoot anyone." Jessie smiles, puts her gun away, and lays her head back on Kimbley's chest, "Wake me when we get there."
(Again, with another flash back-Jessie's memory)
Shellie giggles at the sight of Armstrong covered in water. A man with jet black hair and dark eyes walks in behind him. His hair is up in a pony tail, and his uniform is also soaked. Armstrong laughs at the two women, who were now shielding their eyes, "You to were wonderful. How did you create that wall of ice Jessie, and Shellie how did you get the water to almost drown me and Kimbley like that?" Shellie walks over to Armstrong smiling. Jessie walks up also, her eyes red now, " Kimbley? Who's he?" The man with the black pony tail gently grabs Jessie's hand, and kisses the knuckles, "I am Kimbley. The explosion alchemist." Jessie blushes. Shellie runs to her sisters' side, and pushes Kimbley out the way, "My Sissy!" Kimbley laughs slightly, and nods, "Meet me at lunch little angels. I'll show you around" Jessie blushes a deeper shade of red, while Shellie just growls, "MY SISSY, where she go, I go." Kimbley smiles, "That's why I said 'angels', I meant both of you. See you later." Armstrong nods as Kimbley walks off into the hallway, "Okay you two, ya'll will be under my care until we figure out what to do with you."
(Present day-with scar's view now) Scar sits down on the cot stareing at the necklace, "What do I do now, its still daylight, and I have not a thing to do." (You should catch up on your sleep. You don't want to go see Serenity tired, do you?) Scar lays back in the cot stareing at the ceiling, "No, she would hate to see me tired." (So your really going to go back to her?) Scar pulls out the stuffed bear after putting the necklace away, "Ya, I guess I have to. I might have hurt her." Scar rolls on his side, cuddling the bear close to his chest. (Sleep now; you'll need your rest.) Scar closes his red eyes and relaxes. Drifting off into a deep sleep.

Rin finds shelter in a camp outside of Ishval. A woman runs the shelter with seven children. She fosters children as they come in. As long as Rin stays there, he would have to help with finding food, and when the time comes medicine. Rin laid on the floor, playing with one of the younger children. She was almost three, and blood red eyes. Though her age was young, she was as quick as whip. "You remind me of an old friend of mine little one.", he said smiling. The little girl looks up at him smiling, "Me?" Rin smiles at her, "Yes Crystal, you remind me of her." Crystal plays with his hand, nipping the fingers. "Hey quite, that tickles!", Rin laughed. Crystal bit down on one of his fingers, and would not let go. "AAAAAHHHHH! Crystal! Let go!", Rin shouted. Crystal let go with teary eyes. Rin cuddled her in his arms. He began to sing to her, "Every things so brewing, every ones so fake. And everyone's so empty, and everything is so messed up. But occupied without you, I cannot live at all. Now the worlds around you, I stumbled and I crawled. You can be my someone, you can be my scene. Know that I'd protect you from all of the unseen. Wonder what you're doing, I imagine where you are. There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far. . ." Rin rocked Crystal back, and forth still singing to her.
(Present day-with Jessie) Kimbley nibbles on Jessie's ear. Shellie and Ed had started arguing. "You dog fucker!", Shellie yelled. Ed growled back, "Lesbian!" Shellie pushed Ed in the jaw. Ed swung a punch at Shellie, which turned out to be a slap. Armstrong walked up to the two and tried to settle the fight, "Alright you to. Shut your trap, and make up." Shellie and Ed both punched Armstrong in the nuts in their distress. Armstrong bends over and groans loudly, "OUCH!!! God Damn," Kimbley nips Jessie down her neck, trying to wake her up. Jessie barely moves in her sleep. Kimbley grins, and pushes his cold hands up Jessie's skirt. "Um? . . . oh hi Kimbley.", Jessie smiles up at Kimbley. Kimbley leans down and nibbles her lips. Jessie whines and bites his lip. Shellie screams, "GOD DAMN YOU BASTARD!" She punches Ed straight in the chest. Ed groans, stumbles, then counter punches Shellie's ribs. Armstrong groans, sitting on the floor, clutching his crotch. Kimbley grins down at Jessie, his hands stroke Jessie's warmth under her skirt, while licking her lips. Jessie pushes her lips around his tongue, suckling his tongue gently, her hands stroking his chest. Shellie finally punches Ed in the gut, and looks back at Jessie, "SISSY! I thought you said you loved Rin!" Armstrong pulls himself into a chair, and still groans. Jessie breaks the kiss and moves out of Kimbley's lap. "I'm sorry Kimbley. It's true, I still love someone else." Kimbley smiled, and stroked behind her ear, "If you ever need me, you know how to get in touch with me. I wish things were like they used to be." Jessie lays her head back on Kimbley's chest, "So do I." Shellie yells, "Hey, what did I just say!" Ed trembles on the floor. The bus driver turns the wheel into a parking lot. Kimbley strokes her ear, "We're here." He then gets up and heads towards the front of the bus. (Jessie-So much for my day with a quick 'pick me up'. HA!) Shellie walks back to Jessie, "You okay?" Jessie laughs, "Ya, besides turning down my ex. I think I'm doing just fine." Shellie grins and walks to the front of the bus. Jessie sighs. (Jessie-Some things never change.) (Shellie-But not all things stay different.) Jessie gets up slowly, and heads towards the front of the bus, "I can see how this day is going to turn out!" Shellie looked at her sister as she headed off the bus, "I bet 74 chance of Rain, and 100 chance of total boredom." Both girls laugh as they step off the bus into the rain.
