Tope Note: OKay, here's the chapter. Man, I'm on a roll!

I sighed as I bussed tables. The only thing that really bothered me about this job, other than its weird taste in clothing, was all the weird stares people tend to give me. I'm not sure if it's the pale skin, raven-purple hair, or the cat ears. As I turned around to face the customers who was staring at me, who was surprisingly almost all of the males at the café, I was convinced.

"Definitely the cat ears," I muttered to myself so that the staring eyes didn't hear. Damn male hormones.

I walked past all the staring men and into the kitchen. "Damn perverted men…they see girls in maid outfits and cat ears and it just gives them all the wrong thoughts," I said as I started to wash all the dishes.

I scrubbed at a stubborn, syrup covered plate until I was sure I was going to break it if I don't stop scrubbing it right now. I ran steaming hot water onto the plate and let it soak. A familiar red head pops up right when I least expected it. I sniffed the air and I caught the scent of her. The trial smell of make up and pancakes filled my nose and I turned to my right to see red-headed Paige. I half smiled as she approached me with a bothered look on her face.

9.) Vampires can smell scents.

"What is it?" I asked as she walked forward. She stopped dead in her tracks as she stared at me.

"How'd you know I was here? The water's still running and the place is filled with people talking," she said.

I caught your scent and knew it was you? I thought nervously. "C-Call it reflexes…" I said lamely. I mentally face palmed myself. Reflexes? Really?

"Oh," she said blinking her eyes. "Didn't know your reflexes were that good."

I sweat dropped. She fell for that? "Uh…well, what'd you need?"

"Right!" She said as she grabbed my hand. "Mind taking some tables? I'm running all over the place!"

I thought about it for a minute as I cupped my hand in thought. Should I take her tables? Hmm….I looked over at Paige and she started to look desperate. I grinned. "Nope!"

Her face dropped as she fake fell. She seemed to grow mushrooms as she started to turn away. "Alright…."

I chuckled as I burst out in laughter. "The look on your face!" I said in between laughs. "Don't worry, I'll take your tables," I said as I walked past the stunned girl and patted her on the back. "Go on and take a breather!"

She dropped her head as she stared into my back. "Darn it Seiren…you scare me for no complete reason…."

XOXOXOXOXOXO

I walked over to my first table today, dragging my hair into one ponytail instead of two. The two ponytails thing was always embarrassing to me; I'd only wear it that way if I was chilling out at home. I walk past the sign that read the employee code for customers: 'Take each customer into consideration and don't ditch out on them.' I rolled my eyes at the sign. I know it was talking about rude customers and such but was it necessary to put it out on a sign for the whole world to see?

I walked up to the table and immediately sense the tang of metal in the air. The scent was quite strong and normally the only metal would be the silverware. As I came into view of the table, I know why the metal had such a strong smell. One of the customers had on a suit of armor. Duh! Now it makes sense! But wait….

Why was he wearing that?

"Welcome to our little café. My names' Seiren. What would ya like to order?" I asked. I'm pretty sure I messed up the recital of the formal introduction but the customers don't seem to mind.

"I'm Alphonse. Nice to meet you Seiren," The suit of armor said.

I nearly dropped my jaw in shock at the voice that emanated from the HUGE suit of armor. It sounded like a freaking nine year old boy! I decided not to pry on it since he was nice enough to introduce himself. Normally customers would just go onto their order. That was nice of him. I smiled my half smile again as I looked at him. If he wasn't wearing that armor, I wonder how he would look like.

"Brother. Introduce yourself…" Alphonse motioned the boy across from him.

I couldn't see his face due to the menu that blocked me. He was silent for a second, probably reading over the menu. Soon enough, he spoke up referring to his older brother probably.

"What do you want Al?" he asked.

When he finally put down the menu, I could finally see his face. He looked relatively young, probably in his early teens. He had golden blond hair and golden eyes to match. His long hair was tied up in a braid and he held a red coat over his torso. I couldn't see anything else, but between the two, I could see that he wasn't all that tall.

"Um…" Al thought for a moment when I suddenly had a scent of a…cat? What was a cat doing here? "How about a glass of milk?"

I disgusted look flashed across the boy's face as he heard the word. "Whatever you say Al…" He said unsure. He turned to me looking at me with deep golden eyes. "I'll have the pancake special."

"Okay…" I said as I wrote it down on my notepad. "Anything else Mr…."

"Name's Edward Elric," he said pointing at himself with his thumb. I rolled my eyes. This guy's got a huge ego.

Why does that name seem so familiar?

"Alright, Mr. Elric," I said as I clicked my pen and stuffed my notepad in my pocket. "Orange juice sound good to ya?"

He nodded. "Orange juice is fine."

I bowed to them (another requirement at the café) and turned towards the kitchen. As I walked by, a group of boys whistled as others laughed. I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. "How immature," I stated as I walked past them.

The main boy who whistled the loudest scoffed in return. I smirked. I could tell he wasn't used to get a comeback from a girl. "Whatever you say hot stuff," He said grinning.

I stopped dead in my tracks as I turned around and glared. "Keep in mind I have the power to spit in your food," I replied dryly as I walked quickly to the kitchen.

"How about wearing a shorter skirt will ya?" he called out laughing.

"Still immature!" I called over my shoulder. The nerve of some guys! I just know that some of them only come here to check out the girls that work here. It makes me gag at the thought.

XoXo… Time Skip~! …XoXo

I sighed as I positioned the trays on the palms of my hands. I never liked the balancing part of being a waitress. But this is the only place that'll give me a job so, oh well. My doll shoes squeaked on the wooden floorboards as I tried to dive through customers and fellow workers. I hated weaving in between random people.

Damn the lunch rush.

What made it worse was the pressure on my hands. I could never multi task things…I focus on one thing and one thing only. Oh well. Can't be that bad right? I turned around before I bumped into a little kid who reeked of dirt. Someone was going to take a bath when they get home! I could tell by the annoyed look on the mother's face. I half smiled as I walked towards the Elric's table. I think they were the best customers I've ever had, interesting and friendly.

I made it to their table and Alphonse waved sweetly at me. I wanted to burst out and say that was so sweet, but my boss would scold me for acting weird in front of the customers. So instead, I set down the food.

"One pancake special…" I said as I laid down the plate in front of the blond. He grinned as he started to dig in furiously. I chuckled. Hungry much? I put down the drinks on the coasters they

so kindly laid out for me.

I am so liking these guys already.

"Can I get a glass of water real quick?" Edward asked, is mouth still kind of full.

"Oh, sure," I said as I headed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

I emerged from the kitchen with two glasses of water in hand. The walkways have cleared up considerably since then and the place isn't as noisy.

Okay, it's still loud, but not AS loud.

I walked quickly over to the Elric's table so I could continue with my other tables. I heard snickering from the rude group of boys earlier but quickly disregarded them. I wish I hadn't though…

I walked with my shoes clicking on the floor. Soon enough though, my foot gets caught with something making my ankle twist. The two glasses of water I was holding flew out of my hands and I already hear the water swishing out of them. My shoes squeaked as I tripped over one outstretched foot. I let out a small scream as it happens. I fall forwards, hopeless with only one option: falling. I shut my eyes waiting for the contact with the hard ground. I hear a small whooshing sound as something grasps my shoulders. I gasped.

My eyes went wide and everything around me seemed to blur. W-What is that? My head started to spin as I panted quickly. The smell was…intoxicating. My chest tightened as I stared into space. I couldn't explain it. It was like the most amazing smell in the world, but it hurt me. My heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest at any moment. It beat so fast it was like my heart was going to explode. My mouth went agape as two things started to grow.

No…not now…

In my mouth, two fangs started to grow. They were an inch long, maybe longer. I covered my mouth in an effort to hide my fangs.

"Hey, you okay?"

My head jolted up at the voice. I whipped my head to where the voice was and I found out who was talking. It was Edward. I tried to sigh in replied but somehow, I was prevented form doing so.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine…" I lied. I felt horrible. I could be shaking like a wet dog and I wouldn't even know. He stood up as he held out a hand for me to grab. I complied and took his hand. Wrong choice. Something pulsated throughout my body and I just couldn't take it. My body shuddered on its own will as I stood up slowly.

What's going on?

BN: :D

What's happening? What's wrong with her? Shall I continue on? OF COURSE!

Until next chap! =:D
