{I just watched Aladin. 'Friend Like Me' is stuck in my head. I don't mind... but I do mind when I'm making song references in this one and it's hard to thing of the tune of one when all I hear in my head is, 'Mr. Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be? Let me take your order, jot it down? You ain't never had friend like me.' ... still can't believe Robin Williams died... anyway, back to the story!}

FMA POV:

They had finally arrived in Japan. They all changed into different clothes except Sam who seemed to already wearing what is popular in Japan.

"So, where are we gonna live?" Sam asked with a yawn. They arrived at about 1 in the morning and Sam was actually feeling tired for once.

"Our home is not far. I just asked where the address was. It's just around the corner." Roy stated, walking in front of them all.

Sam stopped and bought something called a 'mp3'. She knew a bit about japanese culture from her books. She put some music on it while they walked to their house. She loves music. She even brought her guitar with her, so she can play these songs. Her playlist contained 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons, 'Titanium' by David Guetta, 'Innocent' by Taylor Swift, 'Adventure Time' by Bribry, 'Thinking Of You' by Christian Kane, 'Lego House' and 'The A Team' by Ed Sheeran and many others. The one she liked the most was 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake. She started singing it under her breath as they walked into the house.

"Here we are. Get yourselves some rest. School starts tomorrow for you two." Mustang said, walking up the stairs. The house was just a simple apartment. They had a small problem though, there were only four rooms. They didn't expect Armstrong to come, so they planned four people, not five.

"It's alright. I can share Ed's room." All Sam was wondering was how she was to get up and down the stairs... luckily one of them was on the bottom floor. Ed walked in and plopped on the bed, not bothering to change or unpack. She sat on the edge of the bed and took off her pants, remaining in only a hoodie and undies. Ed didn't care. She fell backwards, her head laying on Ed's stomach.

"What do you think it will be like?" Ed froze for a second before answering. "Huh?"

"The school... do you think people will treat me different because of my... injury?" It had happened before. People treated her differently because she was 'physical challenge'. They would give her free stuff and treat her as if she was royalty. It really pissed her off.

"I don't know... why don't we unpack before we sleep?" She nodded at her twin brother. They unpacked all their clothes and items that they brought.

Once done, she asked Ed to give her her guitar. "When I heard this song, it reminded me of you and me. I wanna play it for you." While her brother was a 'prodigy' with alchemy, she was a prodigy with music. She got in position and took a death breath out.

"Aren't you somethin' to admire?

'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror

And I can't help but notice

You reflect in this heart of mine

If you ever feel alone and

The glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I'm always

Parallel on the other side."

Armstrong heard her singing and pressed his ear against the door, listening and adoring the small female's angelic voice.

"'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass

I'll be tryin' to pull you through

You just gotta be strong."

At this point, Mustang and Riza had joined Armstrong. "Not bad." Roy had to admit.

"'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Comin' back here to you once I figured it out

You were right here all along."

Nobody cared if it was 2 in the morning, they felt like they were being soothed by the brunette's voice.

"It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

'Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me."

And, sadly, with that, the beautiful song ended. "So, what did you think?" She looked up to see Ed, asleep, but had a grin on his face. She smiled, placing down the guitar and laying down. "Good night... big brother."
