Sorry for the late update everyone. My mind went blank whenever I thought about what I should write. I know what I want to happen later too and I just want to get to that part, but sadly I need stuff to lead up to it or nobody's going to understand it. Thank you to everyone who reviewed! And even to the rest of you who just read it! It's great to know that I'm not writing this for nothing!

Illovebooks: thank you so much I'm really glad that you liked it. It means a lot; I think you made my day!

SquirrelySquirrel: don't worry I'm gonna keep writing this story for a while so I hope that you keep enjoying it!

Clair Arogon: thank you so very much for the advice. I will try my best to get out of the habit of using short hand, and I try to read over my chapters a bazillion times before adding them.

I do not and never will own FMA. But you should have all known that.

Chapter 3

"Mustang!" the door to Roy Mustangs office was slammed open as a boy came storming in the room.

"Edward Elric" the older man said as if he wasn't surprised in the least with what was going on.

Wait did he say Edward Elric…, The Edward Elric. I tilted my head slightly so I could just see the boy out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough right between the doors stood a boy with long blond hair tied into a braid. His eyes were a golden color and he looked like he wasn't much taller than I was.

I could feel my face heat up a bit and was glad that nobody noticed.

He looks even better in person…. Wait did I just really think that, Bad metal, bad. He's a real person you can't just randomly like him! That's just shallow

My thoughts were racing again as I looked back at the floor to hide my face.

"Lior was a bust! It was a fake replica!" Ed yelled

"Sorry Sir, brothers just kind of frustrated that's all." The person I guessed to be Al said. "We came to inform you that we will be leaving for Resembool so that brother can get his automail fixed."

"Ahem…." My brother caught their attention before he was completely forgotten about. "What about my sister! Surely this little kid can through his tantrum somewhere else."

At this the blond haired boy looked like he was going explode into mini pieces. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE COULDN'T EVEN RIDE A FLEE!" and with that the Ed lunged at my brother only to be caught by Al.

"BROTHER!" Al and I said at the same time to our individual brothers.

I'm not really surprised by what Fang said, but I was mortified that he might mess up my chances at becoming friends with the young alchemists.

"I'm so very sorry! My brother can be an idiot sometimes, and a very rude one at that. I'm sorry." I said looking at Ed instead of the floor. He seemed to be taken back by my apology and stopped fighting against his brother's hold and turned his head toward me with a slightly shocked expression.

Ed's P.O.V

"I'm so very sorry! My brother can be an idiot sometimes, and a very rude one at that. I'm sorry…" a girl's voice said softly as if she almost didn't want to be heard. I turned to my look in the direction of the voice.

There in the other office chair was a girl around my age. She had black hair that down to her lower back. Her eyes were so dark they could have been black. And she looked like she could start crying at any moment.

Did she just apologize!? Why did she apologize for him? Who the hell are these people? Why the girl so sad, what's her brothers problem? Agh, I hate questions without answers.

I had stopped fighting against Al and just stood there thinking.

"Who the hell are you people?" I asked the room waiting for some answers.

Colonel Bastard (I think we all know who he's referring to) looked at me with a bored expression. "This is Fang and Metal. They ran into HQ when the front guards were changing shifts. The girl was beat up pretty badly, but she hasn't said much, he brother here refuses to tell me what happened, and I can't send them away because this one here," he points to the girl, "can't walk anymore."

That answered some questions.

I'm extremely sorry on how short this is and for how long it took me to update but I didn't know what to write. Just this chapter toke me 3 to 4 days to type and I still don't like it very much. But here it is! I'll try to make the next chapter longer and hopefully better, and yes I am aware that I seemed to just end the chapter weirdly but I really couldn't figure out what to write. See you next chapter… by the way when I wrote the beginning of this it was a few days ago so I'm sorry if it doesn't wake since, just let me know and I'll try to fix it somehow.
