Chapter Three.

Ed grabbed his suitcaase before following the raven haired girl off the train, she was breathing in the fresh air her backpack slung over one shoulder carelessly in her rush to escape the stuffy comtraption,

"Whew, i thought i was gonna puke!" she said to him

"yeah you did look a little green, i hope you're okay in cars." smiled Ed trying not to laugh at her reaction. Armstrong joined them and pointed them towards the military car which was waiting for them, they nodded in unison and followed the man to where Havoc was waiting leaning on the roof of the car, he saluted and opened the door for Armstrong, it was anouther minate or so before Ed and Mei joined them, as they are both so small they had more trouble getting through the thick crowds than the tall and muscley state alchemist did.

Havoc saluted to Ed but stopped Mei when she followed him, he frowned at her slightly confused

"sorry miss this isn't a taxi you know." he was trying to be polite and was doing his job, Mei knew this but still wanted to strangle the man for stopping her,

"Moron." she muttered so no one else heard then called "Ed!" the said alchemist turned and looked at her blue eyes before sighing and going back to grab her wrist and reasure Havoc that she was safe and was his substitute for Al temperarily. the blonde continued to drag her until the got to the car then he pushed her into the back seat next to Armstrong who was trying now to be as small as possible, then himself climbed in the front passengers seat.

"What the Hell!!" retorted Mei, obviously not liking being pushed around by the fullmetal alchemist Ed turned so she could see his cocky smirk and replied innocently

"What?" she scowled at him, a silent death threat, intimidated by the chibi fight that might soon begin Havoc started the car and began he short drive to the Central military headquarters.

During the drive Mei looked out the window at all the sights again turning a little green, butmanaging to gasp at all the sights, Ed rolled his eyes at her reaction to everything, as Havoc innocently commented

"I'm guessing you don't come to big cities like central very often."

"Nope i'm a well bred country girl." she laughed

"Really?" asked Ed being a country boy himself she didn't seem like one

"No." came the reply "I'm a bit of both really, country and city." she explained Ed smiled slightly at this strange females attitude.
