I was standing in a office with Ed who was wearing his usual Red jacket with a smaller black jacket underneith and Tank top and black pants and combat boots, Al as the usual
armor, and a man who judging by His uniform was the Colonel, He had short black hair and black irises, There was also a blonde woman with her hair in a clip her hair a very
simiular shade to Ed's hair and Deep brown eyes, who I'm guessing from her uniform is a Lieutenant.
"Well well, Fullmetal, Who's this young lady?" The Colonel asked "This is McKenna Imogene, we ran into her in Resembool" Ed replied while glaring at Colonel Mustang "Oh, so
what were you doing in Resembool?" The Colonel asked.
"Wandering around" I said.
"Okay, well I need to talk to Fullmetal, so Lieutenant, Take Alphonse and McKenna to the dorms untill we are done"
"Yes sir" Said the Lieutenant The Lieutenant walked to the door and gestured for us to follow. Al and I followed the Lieutenant for a couple minuutes before I asked
"Lieutenant, how long do you think they'll be?"
"My name's Riza Hawkeye, and it depends on how long they argue" Riza said.
"Oh"
It was silent for a few seconds then Al meowed. Wait, what? Al can't meow. "What's that? A cat?"
"Heh, yeah please dont tell brother, he hates when I pick up cats" Al said while nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"Can I see it?"
"When he get to the dorm"
"Okay"
We walked for maybe a minute or two longer before Riza stopped infront of two doors, "These is the dorms you guys will stay in, one will be Mckennas the other will be
Edward and Alphonses room".
"Okay come on I wanna see the kitty!" I said while going into the nearest door.
"Come on, Riza you come see it too" Al said.
All three of us went in and I closed the door behind us. Al sat down and opened his chest plate there was a black curtain with a little fuzzy white head with mud in its fur
poking out. "Aww, its so cute!" I said.
Even Riza smiled at the cat. "Where did you find him?" Riza asked.
"Just outside in a ally" Al reasponded.
"Aww, she must have been so cold and scared!" I exclaimed. "We should keep her! We can name her Snowball"
"Brother wouldn't let us keep her" Al said.
"Yes, Edward usually makes Alphonse put it back outside" Riza explained.
"Too bad, its not like he's the boss of me. I can keep the kitten weather he likes it or not"
"Another example that you aren't as scary as you look" Al said.
"Shut up, I can be as scary as I look, If your brother says I can't keep the cat I'll beat him up. 1. for the cat, 2. to prove to you I am scary" "We'll I should go they should
almost be done" Riza said before standing up. "Even if they aren't I can stop them from killing each other"
"Okay, bye Riza see you around" I said.
"Bye, Tell Ed to come back when they're done"
"Okay I will, Bye" She walked out the door.
"Well, you and Ed can have this room I'll have the other. We can hide the kitten in my room" I said.
"Okay, I'll go find a box for her, I'll be right back" "Kay, hurry they could finish at any moment"
"Okay" Al left, so I stay played with the kitten. The kitten bit my auto-mail but it didn't affect me so it gave up. I just sat there petting the kitten when Alphonse came back
with a cardboard box and a small blanket. "Yay, now lets put it in my room so Ed doesn't find it"
"Okay" Al said turning around to go back out.
After we made the kitten a bed Al went back to his room untill Ed got back and then we went to get something for dinner. On our way to the restraunt I saw a pet shop so on
our way back I left Ed and Al and decided to by a small bag of cat food. And went right to my room and fed the kitten and went to talk to Ed and Al. I stayed outside the door
for a minute and listened. "Hey, Al I'm surprised you didn't pick up a cat while we were here" Edward said.
"Heh, yeah me to" Alphonse replied although he was lying.
"Hey guys" I said while opening the door.
Ed had taken off his red coat and black coat as well. "Hey McKenna" Al said.
Ed barely looked up. "Whatcha guys talking about?"
"Nothing just usually Al would have picked up a cat by now"
Me and Al looked at each other he snickered and I smiled. "Yeah? Must have not seen one or something"
"Yeah and we haven't gone near a ally" Al said.
"Oh well its getting late and Colonel Bastard Mustang wants me back in his office at 9am"
"Oh kay see you in the morning"
I went to my room and laid on my bed for a couple hours it was 2:46am when I last looked at the clock before I fell asleep. I woke up to someone knocking on my door, I
went to answer it by draging myself out of bed it was already 9:25 I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ed. It was. "Morning McKenna sorry to wake you up but the Colonel wants
you to come too"
"Fine tell him I'll be there in ten minutes"
My hair was a mess I haven't ever cut it right now it was in a loose ponytail. I went and got dressed In my usual black long sleve and long jacket but wore loose joggers
instead today, And brushed my hair and decided I'll put it in a high pony tail but leave some bangs loose washed my face and put on some eyeliner, and left. I walked in the
door to Mustangs office. Ed and Al were there along with Riza and Roy. "What did you want?" I asked Roy.
"Well being you are hanging around Fullmetal I decided you would want to know what is happening" Roy continued. "Ed here is being sent on a mission"
"Where?" Ed asked.
"Liore, Its in the East outside Posterim"
"What do we have to do?" Ed asked another question.
"We need you to check out the Prophet, he might have a Philophisors Stone"
"What? Really?" Al asked.
"Whats the Philophisors Stone?" I asked.
"You dont know about the legend about the Philpophisors Stone? It amplifies Alchemic reactions and allows you to bypass the laws! Its the only way to get our bodies back!"
Ed explained.
"Oh, then I'm coming!" I said.
"That certainly made up your mind fast" Roy said.
"So maybe I just wanted to help" I said not wanting to tell him about my auto-mail.
"Okayyy" he said making sure I knew he was skeptical.
"Ed's right you are a Bastard" I said under my breath so only Ed could hear.
Ed smiled I knew he heard me he snickered.
"Is that it?" I asked.
"No, I wanted you to know I had Major Hughes do a background check on you, it says you went missing when you were eight" Roy said.
I glared at his this time. "No, I ran away when I was eight, I hated foster homes. After that I lived on my own I found someone who would be my teacher free of charge, I'm
probably as good, if not better, at alchemy and martial arts then Ed now"
"Interesting, Why did it say you are missing?"
"I made everyone I met promise to never tell them where I was. That was untill they died, they were bad people so I didn't care. And it still says I'm missing because I never
came near Military personel"
"Oh, smart, They haven't stopped searching for you though. I will change it being that you are no longer 'Missing'"
"Fine by me, Like I care. Can I leave?"
"Sure but you guys are to leave for Liore tomorrow, so start packing tonight"
"Fine"
We were there for a hour, It was already 10:34 so I figured I'd go get a Bagel from the Cafertieria for me and Ed and come back and check on the kitten and go eat in the
boy's room with Ed.
"So, Ed," I said with bagel in my mouth, "Are we really all going to Liore?"
"Yeah, Otherwise I might get court martialed" Ed said.
"Oh, I hope he does have the Philophisors stone" I thought for a second "Wait, did you tell Al?"
"Tell me what?" Al asked.
"No I didn't i thought you should"
"Oh okay" I took off my black jacket "I should tell you guys before hand I AM wearing a tanktop under my long sleved shirt"
I took off my black long sleved shirt, I was wearing a white spagetti strap tanktop my left auto-mail arm was in plain sight. "Wow you have auto-mail too?" Al asked.
"Yeah and" I lifed up both pant legs "two auto-mail legs both go up to mid-thigh" "Wow, You tried to?" "Yeah, Tried to bring back my big brother, Jhoseph"
"Oh, I dont remember much of what happened when we tried, I dont remember what happened after the black arms grabbed and decomposed me"
"Oh, Sorry" I said wanting to change the subject "Well,I think I'm gonna go for a walk and explore the City"
"Okay come back before lunch"
"Okay. I will"
I left immediately, I wanted to buy the cat more food if we were going to Liore, Thats in Northern part of the East so I doubt there would be many pet supply stores. On my
way there I saw a man with long dark green hair, he had a small frame and looked like a cross dresser. But who am I to judge someone I've only seen? I just continued
walking, when I reached the Pet store it said they were closing so they were having a sale. Thats good, I was running out of money being that I dont have a job. I grabbed
two bags of cat food and left I decided to wander around for a bit I still have a hour before I have to go back may as well go see if there's a park around I could rest for a bit.
With help from random peopple I fould Central park. I sat on a bench and enjoyed the sound of kids playing on the playground and wind through the trees. "Wish I could
settle down in a place like this" I said aloud.
Well why can't you? I asked myself. I can't because I need my body back, every guy I liked was afraid of the auto-mail they ran away from me. So afraid of being rejected I
pushed everyone away. Especially after everyfriend I made was attacked, No one was allowed to get close, not even Teacher. I left Teacher too, Teacher was the only one who
really cared about me but I pushed them away too, afraid they'd get hurt too. I looked at the big clock by a street light, It was time to head back.
