LISA:
Keep in mind that I had no intention of getting in anybody's way.
I didn't even have any intention on having lingering, "fan-girl" feelings for the famous Fullmetal Alchemist. A boy about my age that everyone in school has a crush on. I didn't even know it was him until the man with an X on his face had said his name.
Edward explained to me that his name was Scar. An Ishvalan. Hearing his story I couldn't help but secretly understand him more than I should. However, I don't understand why he had any motive to hurt me. He's hunting for state alchemists right? Uncle isn't. He's too chicken for those kinds of things.
Lisa makes her way to her parent's room. Thinking whether or not she should tell them of her situation. All she's ever told them was her spending those two months doing community service. Thinking thoroughly, they would never even find out seeing as all they've done is work out for weeks and return on the next month. Lisa's parents are researchers, both are all for science and alchemy but dislike the idea of being what they call "a military lapdog".
If only they were around often, maybe they would convince her that taking up the challenge of guarding for military lapdogs would be preposterous. She has no choice now, unless they plan to travel to Xing tomorrow on the same day as she does, she'll have no choice but to receive a some sort of other punishment.
"Lisa, we're going to Xing tomorrow, we don't know when we'll be back but we'll be tutoring some of the children there. We're also interested in their version of Alchemy. Did you know tha-" Lisa completely shut off then. Her mother was leaving. There was no reason to tell her anything anymore. Most likely, they'd be back after two years. Seven max.
Always alone, that's what Lisa is. That's why her uncle is so concerned for her safety. She went to school in the morning til the afternoon, and go babysitting in the evening. After that she would go home and do her homework. That's how it was. A completely boring life.
Now she's on her way, in her school uniform (as she's required to wear the Bradley Academy uniform since it is a military punishment) to travel with the famous Elric brothers. Gee, how fun.
Sarcasm intended.
Lisa can't stand it again. Yes, again. She has to go through the process of adjusting with her parents' adventurous lives. Always ignored, always alone. At times she felt her uncle more of a father than her own.
"I'm going to go out. I'll see you guys whenever." She murmured enough for her father to hear, but not enough for him to pretend to care. She grabbed her uniforms, extra clothes and everything else needed for her weird travel of five months around wherever the Elric brothers decide to go.
"You spent two months getting along with Edward Elric! How could you not fall in love Lisa!? He's probably so handsome!" squealed Lisa's friend Marjorie.
It's insane. It's insane! Spending two months cleaning off debris on the streets and being with Edward the shouting midget drove her insane. Most importantly, she found out she had zero patience for the boy. After all, in her guess she was merely only in Scar's way. If possible, if the supreme being above had warned her, she would have not had to get used to the Elric brothers.
Unfortunately, she is now.
"Lisa-chan!" Alphonse called out to her. Alphonse's hobby of wearing metal armor does not bother Lisa, and for that Al (and for those who know the truth about Al's situation) has easily welcomed her as a good friend.
"Al, when are we leaving? My back is killing me and I want to just sleep it off." Lisa admits. The two look at Ed, who yanks their tickets off the counter and grumbles for waking up so early. The sight of Edward that way made her feel good.
"Midget having a bad time? I like that." she asks Al.
"He still hates Colonel Mustang for dragging you with us. It's not because of you-it's cause..it's dangerous and it's not safe for a girl and we're bo-"
"I get it. I get it." she laughed.
They hopped onto the train and sat comfortably. Al on one end, Lisa and Ed on the other. "We're going to Resembool first, if you don't mind. There's just something Al and I need to do first before going on. My arm got stiff when we hit the debis last two weeks ago. Colonel Bastard not letting us use alchemy got my arm stuck or something." Edward says as he tries to stretch is auto mail arm.
He just got a new one two months ago…
Oh well. It wasn't Lisa's problem. Once she arrives to Resembool, she'll call her uncle and report to Mustang.
