A/N : IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! MARCH THE 20TH... I'M OFFICIALLY ONE YEAR OLDER! Yes, in the A/N at the beginning of the last chapter, the first reviewer is Anonymous Reviewer-T.


Third Person P.O.V.

" Woah... " That was the only word that came out of Cruelty's mouth as soon as they got to Rush Valley.

So many people she had never saw before crowded the streets. So many noises filled the air and... What's that smell? Her nose sniffed the air and told her one single word.

"Oil..." She muttered. " Oil and the metallic smell of metal."

Al came up right behind her, followed closely by Edward.

They lost the race! She thought with glee. Even Al, and empty suit of armor, who doesn't feel tired... Lost! To me, a regular girl!

If only she knew the truth... She still doesn't know that she's not a human anymore, she doesn't know that she came back to life because the lives of so many people have been taken because of it... And she didn't even know that if anyone else found out... She would be an outcast.

Cruelty's P.O.V.

" How...Did you..." Ed paused to take in another breath. " Run... That fast?" He inhaled again.

I beamed at him. " Wanna know how?" I asked.

He perked up. " Tell me!"

" Truth is..." I shrugged. " I don't even know."

"Gah..." He groaned.

I turned around, scanning the area for Al... But he seemed to have disappeared. I looked around, it's not possible that a suit of armor that tall could just vanish into thin air. My eyes settled on a supposedly empty alleyway. A shimmer of light reflected off of Al's metal shell.

"There you are!" I marched over to Al's back. " What were you doing in this alleyway?"

"Um... Nothing! I was just about to come out!" He answered quickly. A little too quickly for my liking. What could he be hiding?

"Oh really...?" I pressed. He was lying... I don't know how I know, but he is for sure.

"Meowwwww." A cat's voice drifted out from Al's armor.

I smirked. " Hiding something, Al?"

"Al? Dramatic Girl?" Someone's voice called out. Ed's, of course.

" Dramatic?" I muttered to myself. " How in the world am I dramatic?"

Footsteps came closer to us. Al turned to me quickly. " Please don't tell Big Brother, please!"

I laughed softly. " I would never tell him. He's a shorty."

"WHAT?!WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TINY INSIGNIFICANT MIDGET?!" I did even have to look, it was Ed. Apparently he found us.

"Not me." I mumbled.

Suddenly, a flash of white clouded my vision. I blinked, trying to adjust to the blankness when the scene shifted again. This time, I was in a village...

Children and adults both walked in and out of shops and they were all talking at once.

"... The meat was really cheap today..."

"... Lily! Let's go play over there!"

" Stand up straight, Young man!"

" Owen, how much for this locket?"

" Emerald! Wait up!"

Two boys, with blonde hair and golden eyes and a girl... black hair and turquoise eyes. They were running towards a lake... Crystal blue in the sunlight, the lake shimmered. One of them had a smile and the other had a determined look on their face. The girl was sprinting and laughing really hard, when she saw the boys lagging behind, she slowed down to a walk.

"You two are so slow." She teased.

"Hey! We're not slow!" The boy with the determined expression exclaimed.

" Haha, Brother, we are slower than a girl!" The other one laughed.

" See, Ed. Even Al admits it." Her crystal eyes glittered as she giggled.

" Hmph." Ed crossed his arms. Then his expression lit up. " How about we go swimming with Winry!"

" Good idea, Brother!" Al cheered.

" Let's go and ask her!" Emerald smiled and clapped her hands together.

Together, they raced down the dusty roads again.

I jolted up, hitting my forehead against something hard.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed, looking at what I hit.

But it wasn't a what, it was a who.

"Hey, I saved your life and you pay me by hitting my forehead?" A voice asked me sarcastically.

"Who in the world are you?" I asked the person, already staring at the clothes on his body.
