Fullmetal Alchemist - Alchemistic Twilight
Chapter 7
Beach
School passed in a snap, people were staring at me and well i didn't care. I felt like Winry, She had not a care in the world. I had no reason to feel upset or mad. I was just calm. I was walking with Winry toward the Volvo, waiting for Roy, Jean and Sheska waited by the car when Alphonse and Rose walked up, they hand over the School's Newspaper. The Headline reads "Reward for Toilet Bandits, A drawing of the suspects under the headline, One looked like my self and the looked like Winry, I should of felt nervous maybe even scared but all i did was chuckle. "I'll keep an eye out" I said after the breif laugh, Al nods and walks off. Winry took the paper "Well looks like we're caught" "I feel like i should apologize"
"You'd be wasting your breath" She said as a smile grew
"I think i have some to spare" She chuckled, just getting the joke, Roy took his sweet time, I waited
"Listen, Edward. My family has been planning a baseball game and i would like to know if you'd like to come" "Stormy weather this afternoon, around 7:45" Sheska added, I smiled "Those books let you see the future?" She smiled, "Now but i know alot about weather, mark my words on that time", I nod then looked at Winry "I'm in but Baseball, It's sorta a forbidden art for me" "Why?" Jean asked, not catching to what i was saying, Sheska just rubbed his chest, whispering what it meant in his ear "I'll pick you up okay" I nod, Winry voice was like rubbing my face in velet, i didn't want to stop.
There he was, Roy walking with...Riza?. She was following him. He face seem not happy nor angry, It was normal. At first i expect that he turned her, the easy way but i was wrong. "What's going on?" I asked, curious "Roy's made a friend" Winry added, opening the car door, Sheska and Jean got in and i waited for Roy, Roy walked up to me, Roy turned toward Riza "Hawkeye, tell princible Bradley i won't be coming to school tomorrow, tell him i'll be feeling under the weather", she nods and runs off. Roy looked at me "What are you doing with her?" My voice was curious
"What are you doing with my family?" He added, an odd tone
"Their helping me recover from Greed's attack, When did you care?" "Listen, It's not personal, I'm sure your a great person but i don't want to risk my families safety, So get in my car before i force you in" there was an awkward staring then i got in, My attuitude had change, i was pissed off. It seemed like the ride back to my home was a breif moment, i was in and out of the car so fast, the speed. Something i haven't gotten use to. I turned back to the car, They looked at me, I gave a thumbs up and Roy took off. I walked into my home, Inside my couch was flipped over, my pictures and bed thrown around. I closed the door behind me. "Hello is somebody in here?" i slipped my gloves on, Then i heard it again. It was a growl, Suddenly it was gone, This growl was light and girly. It wasn't Greed. I ran up the stairs and whoever it was slipped through my bedroom window. My phone rang, i ran down stairs and answered it. It was Alphonse, "Listen, Ed..It's Al, Me and some of the guys and girls are heading to Central Bench, Wanna come?" I wanted to go to the baseball game but i didn't want to clean up. "Yeah sure, as long as i'm home by eight"
"I'll be right over" I hung up, It seemed like minutes until he pulled up, I was sitting on a stool when he honked, i removed my red jacket and left it on the chair and ran out. i got into the van, stealing the front and he drove off, In the back was Riza, Rose and Kain Fuery, A short, glasses and black hair boy. He was a year younger than Al but he seemed to be best friend with him, even though he had a crush on Riza. We pulled up to the Beach, Everyone beside Me and Rose, started getting ready for a swim. Al removed his shirt and took his pants off, revealing swimming shorts. He ran off, Kain wore the same and ran off. Riza looked at me, Curious about Winry, She simply asked "So did you invite her?" "Who?" i asked. "Winry?, you two look like an item, Do you like her?" the sentence came to fast, i stummbled on the answer, looking nervous. "Um..Yeah, i do like her, She's different" Riza laughed, enjoying my answer, Rose seemed quiet, Riza placed her hand on mind then removed it quickly "Your as cold as ice, Ed" I smiled "Yeah, It's Cold out" She smirked then walked off, I looked at Rose. "So how are you and Al?" She smiled and nods "He's a delight to be with but i.." she stopped, raising my curiousity. "What is it?" She looked down than added "He's a curious person" I didn't understand and she saw that "Well he was reading an old newspaper of the schools, in the photo he calmed to see Winry and her family but it was like 30 years ago and he thinks you..your the toilet bandits with her" I smiled, not because she was dead on, i smiled to hide the the expression i was seconds from making "Edward!" i turned around, looking at the person, who was calling my name. It was Scar, well that was his nickname, his real name was still unknown. He had dark skin, grey hair and maroon eyes. He was from Ishbal and he had a large build, he wore a long grey slevee shirt. "Scar?" i stood up and we shook hands "How've you been?" I knew Scar from my father, Scar's brother came over everyday when my father was around, He'd bring Scar, He's was 10 years older than me back than, So when i was 6, he was 16 but he still had fun. "I'm great" Our coversaton drifted off, i left Rose at the car, when i turned to check on her, she was at the beach, kissing Al on the cheek. I focused back on Scar. "And that's why my name's Scar" DAMN IT, i yelled in my head, years of hard work gone to waste. "What brings you here?" I looked at him "My mother passed away, a week ago" "I'm truly sorry, If there's.." I stopped him "I've been given to many things but there's one thing you can do" "What is it?" "What really happened between your brother and my father?" The question i always wondered, the question seemed forbidden in his eyes. He looked at me and spoke. I will never forget what he said next.
