Ohayou gozaimasu!

I'm glad that you guys seem to like my story so far! I have to admit that I only recently watched Brotherhood and I'm still in the process of watching the first anime. :P I also finally decided on the pairings! And on a few character deaths, sadly. Some are going to be heartbreaking but well. Sorry in advance for killing off possible favorite characters of you!

Anyway. I'm not a native English speaker so sorry in advance for any mistakes.

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA because if I did Kimblee (why does this website call him Kimbley?) would have worn a black suit. I'm not a huge fan of white or bright colors in general. I do own the OC's (like Ciela) though.

Chapter 3: Curriculum Vitae

I woke up staring at a white ceiling. Dizzy I looked through the room I woke up in, my eyes longing for some color. All the white was beginning to hurt. I was covered in what felt like a thousand blankets and wondered where I was until I noticed an IV in my right arm and the penny began to drop. I was in a hospital. Slowly and carefully I sat up, flinching when the door suddenly opened. A nurse came in, smiling at me.

"So you finally woke up! You had us worried for a while!" she explained.

"What happened, how did I get here?" I wondered, still feeling slightly dizzy.

"The Elric brothers brought you here. They said you fainted shortly after they found you. You're hypothermic and need to rest for a while, you probably still don't feel too well." She smiled again. She really seemed like a nice person, so I just nodded.

"Oh, alright." I murmured.

"There's someone waiting outside for you to wake up. Do you think you're ready to answer a few questions?"

Questions? Who would want to talk to me? Well, Ed and Al would want to. I mean I froze a puddle and fainted, surely they had questions. I shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Bring 'em in!"

The nurse left and a moment later three people entered the room. Ed, Al and.. I stopped breathing. Roy. Roy Mustang. Eeep! I so wasn't ready to face him yet! He was one of the characters I adored the most. My heart felt like it was about to burst. I was so excited! Maybe fainting wasn't so bad if I got to meet him? But I had to focus. Calm down, Ciela. Having a severe fangirl attack wouldn't be too good right now.

The flame alchemist sat down on the chair next to my bed, facing me.

"I'm Colonel Roy Mustang." he introduced himself. "Those two-" he pointed at Ed and AL, "told be about the incident that occurred and since it was slightly unnatural I decided to pay a visit to you and ask for the details."

I simply nodded, not knowing what to say.

"They are the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric and his younger brother Alphonse Elric." he further explained. "Can you tell me your name?"

I had to clear my throat, I was so nervous! "I'm Ciela. Ciela Roseanna."

"Miss Roseanna-"

"Ciela. Just Ciela, please. I don't like my lastname too much." I said. "Um.. sorry for interrupting you. Please continue." I blushed.

"Fine. Ciela, how old are you and where can we find your parents? We need to inform them about the incident. Surely they would like to know that their daughter got admitted into a hospital."

Uh.. not good. "Well I'm 16.. and.. I don't really have parents anymore." Well that wasn't a real lie. I had no parents here in this world and it's not like I had people I could call mom or dad in my ~ old ~ world. No one cared.

"So.. you're saying your parents are dead?" I hesitated for a second, but then nodded. "And where have you been staying?" Roy seemed suspicious of me.

"Here and there, nowhere really."

Children or teenagers who lived on their own weren't uncommon. Not even in Amestris. I saw a chance. "Um.. I came to Amestris hoping to find a way to make a living, to find a place to stay."

That startled Roy. "You're not from here?"

I shook my head no. "I'm from a teeny tiny country far far away from here that neither of you ever heard of, I'm sure of that." Now that sounded like a better lie!

He turned to face Ed and Al. "Could she stay with you two for a while? Just until we figured out what to do with her?"

"What?!" Ed nearly shouted. "No way, why us?"

"It's not like she knows anyone else." Roy said. "She's going to stay with the two of you, this is an order. It's only for a short time, I promise."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT YOU STEP ON HIM WITHOUT NOTICING?!" Again, Ed was furious. He really was too cute, always freaking out whenever someone used words to call something short, little or tiny. But then he surrendered. "Well fine. It's not like we have a choice."

"I don't want to cause you any trouble." I said, hoping I could stay with my Roy-boy instead.

"It's fine, don't worry." All assured.

"Well then, it's settled." Roy clapped his hands. "Now to the incident. I heard you froze water even though it's spring time?"

I bit my lip. "So..?"

"Did that really happen?" he wanted to know.

Sighing, I nodded. "Yes, I guess so. But before you ask, I don't know why it happened either. I just know that for some reason everything around me freezes. The nurse told me I'm hypothermic? So maybe that's why?"

Roy shook his head. "I've dealt with hypothermia before and I've never met someone who froze water. By the way, what you have isn't just hypothermia. You're even colder than that."

I raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess, I'm as cold as if I was dead?"

"The problem, or lets call it luck, is, that you aren't." Roy stated. "Could you try to do it again? For me?"

Oh come on Roy not with the puppy eyes! Well of course he didn't use the puppy eyes for real, but I adored him so much that simply asking me for something made my heart melt. "I could try?" I answered, unsure.

Roy poured water into a glass and handed it to me. "After you."

I pushed the blankets back, it really wear a lot of blankets, and took the glass of water. I held it in both of my hands and watched in fascination as the water began to freeze. Roy's eyes widened and so did Ed's and I was pretty sure even Al's non existant eyes had widened.

"Told you!" Ed suddenly said. "I told you she could do that and you thought I was insane!" He laughed a little.

"It really is freaky." Al added.

Roy nodded. "Now that was very interesting. Do you know what I think? That could be very useful."

I faced him. "Huh? Useful?"

"Yes. Just imagine what you could do if you were to control it." he explained.

Ed clapped his hands. "You could use alchemy! You could use alchemy to control the water, freeze it, and use it as a weapon or anything else!"

Suddenly everyone seemed overly excited. Even Roy smiled.

"But do you really think I could do that? I mean look at me. I'm a 16 year old girl and never used alchemy like how do you expect me to learn it what if I can't what if I fail-" I nearly talked my head off.

"ANYWAY-" Roy said very loud to interrupt my anxiety attack. "First I'd like to know why you're so cold in the first place. It could be an illness-"

"It isn't an illness or anything. I.. I've been like this for a while." I lied. "There's no need to worry about me. I just need to keep myself warm and I'll be fine."

"Are you sure about that?" Roy didn't seem to believe me.

I nodded. "Yes, I'll be okay."

"Well then, I guess I should head back to my office now. Fullmetal, let me know if anything happens. Your mission is to keep an eye on her while we figure out what to do. And teach her some alchemy while you're at it." He chuckled, waved goodbye and left the room.

I sighed. "Thank god he's gone."

"He really is annoying, that bastard." Ed grumbled.

"Nah I didn't mean it that way. He's actually quite attractive." I announced.

"He's WHAT?" Ed exclaimed in disbelief.

I laughed. "Don't worry. You're quite adorable yourself. Just a tad too short."

"Who are you calling shorter than Roy Mustang's miniskirt?!"

Ok Ok I admit it I suck at writing longer chapters. It's just that after this much I just get so impatient that I just WANT to upload it no matter how short it is. Y'all should be happy it's more than just a sentence!

Just kidding.

I promise the chapters will be longer from now on! I really really REALLY promise! But in order for me to keep writing I need to know if I annoyed the crap out of you with this chapter, so.. review?

Much love!
