Sorry guys it was so late, it's just that for the past couple week's I've been busy, I also hurt my wrist, when going snowboarding for the fist time. Its fun you got to try it. Also my dog had to get surgery (I'm going to dedicate one chapter, to my dog, and winery's, some time, so Na!) Also I have got exams. Thank you so much for your reviews, I hope you like this next chapter.

Sarah unpacks her things in one of the small visitor's rooms, it has a small window that overlooked most of the city, and has a nice view of it all lit up at night. There are also a small bed with a blue and white quilt, and pillows. One wall was lined with dusty old bookshelf's, with there dusty old books and for the longest time Sarah and her brother's had ignored. Beside the bed was a small drawer where she could but her cloths, as a old dusty dim lamp stood on it, and just below it, was a picture of her, in between her two brother's, caring a giant bass. She sat on the bed letting out a sigh, staring into the picture, remembering.

Flash back

The sun set over the northern sky, black ascents of old pine, willow and maple, as three children sat alone, in the middle of a small lake, with a fishing pole each, bored out of there minds waiting for a fish to bite.

"Hey James, Sarah?" Chris shyly asked

"What?" they said at the same time

"You don't think there could be a lockness monster in this water, do you?"

"No" James said, staring into the water, wondering if there was even a small minnow they could even catch.

"The lockness, is in Scotland, Chris, not hear." Sarah said proudly, feeling smart.

"But, why would you what to take a picture of it Sarah, it could eat you"

"Don't be such a scary cat, I'm not scared" she smiled, just as her fishing line stated to zoom.

"Hey Sarah, look's like you got a bite" James said, Sarah now trying to real it in as it slowly got closer and started splashing

"it's so heavy, and big, help me guys" she said, as her two brother's grabbed a hold of it and pulled, as the fish flew into the air, and landed smack down into there boat.

"AHHH" screamed Chris "it's the lockness" he cried, Sarah quickly graving her camera only to find the fish.

"No, it's just a giant slimy, stupid fish" Sarah pouted, putting away her camera as she looked around. "Hey where's James?"

"here" came a sarcastic tone, as the looked to where the voice was coming from, and saw James's beside the boat, floating in the water, soaking wet.

Sarah lent a hand to him, but instead of letting her into the boat, he toughed on her arm and pulled her in.

SPLASH

"JAME"S THAT WAS SO NOT FUNNY" yelled angry little Sarah, now wet and soaked.

James laughed as he pointed at Sarah "I'm sorry, but you made it just so easy" as she smiled back at him, Chris now joining in on the fun, although they wouldn't pull him in, at the time, because he couldn't swim.

Sarah and James climbed back into the boat as they patted back to shore. Meeting there parents.

"Sarah, James you're all wet" they said concerned

"Mommy, Daddy, we caught a giant fish, what to see?"

As they made it over to the boat, the lake owner, also of the small store, came out, with his camera, as both he and there parents, stared in awe, over the giant fish.

"Hmm" The owner said "something this big deserves a prize" as he went to his store and brought out 3 carton's of milk.

"Here you go kids, sorry, I didn't have any smaller one's to give you"

the atmosphere changed instantly, from a clear sunny day to a thundering, pouring down rain storm, as black mist covered the land, a howl of a wolf could be heard, as a flash of lightning, lit up the sky.

"Who are you calling small?" came a demonic deep voice

The lake store owner ran away in fright of the evil little Elric siblings. After a wile, returned to a bright and cherry sunny day.

Now, there was something to know about the Elric siblings, They hated milk, although of course, they never really tried it, and took there grandpa's word for it, that is was discussing and nasty and that one drop could burn a hole few your tong.

"Hey Sarah" James said, is a provoking tone "I dare you to drink it all"

"I dare you to drink it James" she snapped back

"Un ah, I dared you first"

"What do I get, in return?"

"If you do it, I promise not to tell dad, that it was you who wet the bed, when we get home"

Sarah gave him an angry glare, as she picked up the milk cartons, taking in the 1 liter of milk at a time, with out ever taking a breath, until the next carton.

"There you happy?"

"Yes"

"Promise not to tell"

"I promise"

It didn't matter though, because the two where sent to bed, after catching a cold, and Sarah learned that she had slightly become lactose intolerant, but it never stopped her from drinking milk.

"Let's do this again some time?" she asked

"Sure sweetie" replied her mom

But there was never a next time.

End flash back

Edward, sat out side Sarah's door, wonder what happened to make her so depressed, is infact her birthday, his only granddaughter's birthday. She looked as though she had just lost a valued friend. He decided that at this moment was the right time to give her, her present.

He knocked at the door, slightly, with his real arm; that would have left a softer knock.

"Oh hi, grandpa" she replied

"Common, Sarah, there's something I what to give you"

She got up and headed towards her grandfather's room, where he had brought out a box, rapped up in bright blue paper and handed it to her.

Eyes widened by the size of the box, Maybe he had gotten her a printer for her computer, or maybe a flat screen TV. Gazing at the rapping paper ready to rip it into shreds.

Edward smiled as he went to his room; well Sarah went to the kitchen table, ready to open the box.

She sat there, a card was attached, it said from, Ed and AL. Sarah now even happier, since they had believed that Al had left, and that he would never come back, now Sarah had something from him, to remember and to show at her mom's grave.

As she tore open the box, she found some red materiel, taking it out she found it to be a small coat, with what looked like a snake and cross on the back. It was so soft, as she held it up to her face, and cuddled with it, though and imagining that she would where it, but still grateful. Maybe she could make it into a pillow?

Next there was something else, an old stop watch it was rusty, and she couldn't open it.

The last thing in there was a piece of paper, as she read it aloud: Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

The Philosopher's Stone... Those who posses it, no longer bound by the laws of Equivalent Exchange in alchemy, may gain without sacrifice, create without equal exchange. We searched for it...and we found it.

What exactly, that was meaning, Sarah had no idea, and the philosopher's stone, wasn't that off of the move Harry potter?

It made her wondered though, about that in her life's sacrifices. Her brother's, who where drifting away from her and her mom, who had absolutely faded away, never ever, to come back. She didn't think personal things like theses would be effected by her grandparents so called "law", and decided to ask her grandpa what this all meet.

Just then the door rang, as she went to go and get it she yelled. "All get it!"

Still carrying the things in her arm, she opened the door, and there in front of her was Al, she looked at him in shock, only to see Ed come to the door.

"Did you get the books, Al?"

"Yes brother, sorry it took so long, you see there where…." He continued on as he came in more, and it seemed like no one had notice that she was there. She took a couple steps back, her mind raced as she held on to her presents, the watch and note, tucked away into her pocket, and the coat over her shoulder. She sat on the couch, as the two started talking then soon moved into the dinning room, she mad a dash for the door, she couldn't talk it, why did she feel all emotional, as soon as Al came in. She crept up the door, and slightly opened it, just ash she was about to take a step forward, she heard her name being called out.

"Sarah where are you going?" said Ed in a soft caring tone

"Sarah!" smiled Al with a big grin "I haven't seen you since you where so small, come on and give old Al a hug"

She looked down, and looked back up. "Grandpa, can we go see mom's grave, just for a bit" her voice starting to brake" I'm sorry Uncle Al, would that be alright with you?" her eyes blurred, trying hard not to cry.

There was a long pause from both old men, as Sarah bent down and sat near the door, Al glanced at Edward, whispering the words "dead? But….but how?"

Ed had finally found out why Sarah was being so depressed. The one thing, that Winry had giving Ed, since they last met, had faded away from them, only last year. Chris and James had cried it all out, but Sarah had kept it all in all this time and so had he. The old man came over beside his granddaughter and bent down, glancing back towards his younger brother.

"Cancer, can do horrible thing's Al" now placing a hand though Sarah's hair holding her, as she buried her face into his chest, and begin letting out small pouts.

"Sure Sarah, will go see your mother" He responded to Sarah's question "it's pretty cold out there, you got the coat, I gave you" as he took it off, her shoulder, and put it on her. Al now looking quiet sad and depressed, grabbed on his jacket, and glanced over to see Sarah in there old red cape. How it brought back memories to them both.

Suddenly the watch feel out of her pocket, opening as it feel, the words: Oct. 3: don't forget flashed on them. A date that symbolized three major points in time, the day they moved on, the day Sarah's mother died and Sarah's birthday.

"Don't worry, Ed and Al, I won't forget"

So what do you think of that? I no I seid later a cuple capter's ago, that it had been summer, Well, there's a logical explonation for that. You see because of globe warming, it made October, feel like summer. Ok, ok….lame excuse. Anyway I have a question for you, do any of you know of a good name I could call Sarah's mom?
