Disclamier: I own nothing of Full Metal Alchemist, I only own Lily and a few handful of characters
Twenty Years Later
Two pairs of clear blue eyes shot up, staring at the ceiling lights in the room. The owner of the eyes shifted and sat up in the bed it was currently resting in. The figure shook it's head and blinked a few times, trying to get use to the light. The figure sighed as it stared at a mirror, seeing hair mangled up from the night before. The figure was a woman, a woman of twenty with long blonde hair that almost reached her below her shoulder blades. She turn her head when she saw her bedroom door opening and walked in an older gentleman with brown hair and some gray roots. He stared at the young woman, his bushy eyebrow raised.
"Lily, are you alright? I heard you moving about in your bed last night."he said with concern
"I'm alright, Viktor, just a bad dream. I really can't remember much, all I do remember is a bright red glow and that's it."Lily said, shaking it off and getting up from the bed
"Rather or not if you remember all of it, it still is important."said Viktor, leaning against the doorway.
"Well, get dress and get some food in your or else you will miss the train."he added
"Oh, no! It's today, I completely forgot!"exclaimed Lily, cursing herself as she search in the drawers for cloths to pack.
Viktor chuckled,"I knew this would happen so I packed all of your cloths last night when you were asleep. There is some cloths in the bathroom for today."he said
Lily sighed in relief and hugged the older man.
"I don't know what I would do without you, Viktor."she smiled
Viktor gently pushed Lily off of him, a small smile on his face."Now go get dress and get some food in you, now."
Lily nodded and rushed pass him and headed straight to the bathroom, taking a quick shower before hoping out before the hot water turned cold. She wrapped a towel around herself as she dried her hair with another one. She smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. From this point on, her once normal life was going to change. She was going to become a State Alchemist! Or at least try to be.
Lillian Marshall, or known to some as Lily, lived with her father-figure and teacher, Viktor Marshall in a small town called Raislen. Sure, Lily shared the same last name as Viktor, even as mush he tried to push her to call him her father when she was younger, she stilled called him by his given name, or just seem strange to call him that. She knew from when she could speak, he wasn't her real father but was one to her. When she that he was a State Alchemist when he was younger, known as the Earth Alchemist, she urge him to teach her about alchemy, and after many times of asking him, he finally caved in and taught her. For the past ten years, she had been training to be a State Alchemist like Viktor when she was older.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Viktor pounded on the door, letting her know it was time to go. She quickly got dress and put her still wet hair in a pony tail before rushing out of the door, almost knocking down Viktor. She was almost out of the door when she heard someone clearing their throat, she turned and blushed out of embarrassment as she saw Viktor holding up a bag full of food and suitcases at his feet. She quickly grabbed the small paper bag and headed out of the door, with Viktor right behind her, suitcases at hand. He was strong for a man going on sixty.
They walked through Raislen until they reached the small train platform, Lily was surprised to see almost everyone from town there to wish her off. As she stepped onto the platform, she was nearly knocked off by a figure of color. She looked at the figure that was hugging her a little too tightly. She pushed the figure off of her and was face to face with her best friend, Mary Lucas, the raven hair beauty of the town. She had tears rolling down from her green eyes.
"Please, please, don't go Lily!"she cried
"Yeah, please don't go, we are begging you."A rather handsome blond haired man walked up and wrapped a arm around Mary, his name was Leo Curve.
She sighed at the two as Leo gave Mary a small handkerchief. These two were her best friends in the world, they became instant friends when both Leo and Lily saved Mary from a wild boar when they were around six. As they grew up, the more weird they got. Both Mary and Leo had one of the strangest, yet put up, club ever! It was...The Roy Mustang Fan Club. After a visit to Central when they were teenagers, and when Mary saw the legendry Flame Alchemist, she instantly fell in love with him, yes even Leo too, kiddies. After much begging and annoying her, Lily finally join their club, in name only. She just didn't know what was about him that was remotely interesting.
"Relax you guys, I promise to come visit once I get settle in Central,"said Lily, putting her carry on bag on her shoulder.
"And can we visit you there, too?"asked Mary, beaming with exciting
"Sure..."
"YAY!"she yelled, jumping and wrapping her arms around Lily, unknown to her, she slipped something into her bag.
Mary let go when the loud sound of a train pulling into a stop. Lily smiled as she grabbed the handle for her suitcase before turning towards Viktor who was watching her and her friends with interested.
"Viktor, I will miss you a lot, I will see you soon"she smiled and turn to go before Viktor placed a hand on her shoulder.
"What?"
"Here,"he handed her a small box.
She looked at him in question before opening the box and was shock to see a small, silver key against red plush. She picked it up and looked at the older man.
"It's a key, for your house in Central."he said calmly
"B-but..."
"I pulled some strings and I got you a house, I can't have the best student I have had live in a small and crappy apartment. And if you don't pass the exams, you can always live there until they come up again."Viktor said
Lily threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.
"Please visit as long as you want."she said before releasing.
"I will. Now, go, before the train leaves you behind."he said sternly.
Lily nodded and gave her friends quick hugs good bye before picking up her carry on luggage as some train personal got the rest. She board the train and hanged onto the bar as the train became to move, she waved at everyone before quickly going inside. She walked through the train until she reached the last cart which was almost empty expect for a few passengers. Lily walked steady towards a empty place and took the window seat and looked out of the window as her town speed by her. She sighed in relief and relaxed into the seat. She placed her bag on the seat next to her and looked around for her bag of food before her eyes spotted a colorful wrapped gift she didn't notice before. She grabbed it and took off the paper and loose photo fell out onto the ground, she looked at it first and saw it was a group photo of her, Mary, and Leo. She picked it up and looked on the back where neat hand writing of Mary's was place there. It read:
'We will miss you a whole lot, my little flower (Leo made me write that) and make sure you invite us over sometime or else. You can say I left you a farewell gift along with this photo, the gift was mostly Viktor's idea but a good one at that. I hope to see you soon, signed Mary.
THE ROY MUSTANG FAN CLUB WILL FOREVER LIVE!'
Lily laughed at the last thing that was written. She place the photo back into the bag before looking at her gift. It was a leather bound book with the words 'Dream Journal' written in gold. She smiled as she flipped through the blank pages. Viktor was the only person she knew that was always ready to listen to people's dreams and try to find out their meanings. He had urge Lily to make a dream journal since she could remember. For out the years, many books were filled, full of dreams from the weirdest dreams involving people turning into rabbits to dreams filled with mystery that had an huge effect on herself the morning after. She reached into her bag and pulled out a pen and began to write in the first page of her book, telling the brief dream she had earlier.
An hour later, Lily was reading from a book on alchemy when the train stopped and two figures stepped onto the train. Lily was too busy reading in her book to really notice their faces. She groaned and placed a hand on her forehead as she felt like someone was driving a metal spike through her temple. She jumped when one of the train's attendant came around the corner of her seat.
"Are you ok, madam? You look pale." she said
"No, no, I'm alright. But, can I have a glass of water and some Aspirin?" Lily asked politely
"Sure,"the attendant said before walking to get the items.
Lily sighed and leaned her pounding head against the cold feeling window, staring into space, wondering what could have made her feel so sick. After the attendant gave her what she needed, she quickly ate her small breakfast. She rested her head back against the seat and let sleep come over her, unaware of two pairs of eyes watching her.
