Winry, Sheska, and I return to the command center on time actually because if I was out any longer, Mustang will eventually worry about me; he's got this big brother protection towards me. Anyway, I got to my room, enter it, and I drop these shopping bags on the floor. I question to myself…
Me: What am I going to wear on Friday night? Now that I think about it, I can change my appearance a little just to let Envy see me in something else other than a tank top, jeans, and a jacket. But which would stand out the most?
I take the clothes out of the bag, and lay them on the bed. The outfits do look beautiful, but which one? At this rate, I might get Winry to help me out on this one. I was going to leave the room, but then I hear a voice ask…
Solaris (Lust): Are you Serenity?
I forgot to close the door behind me when I entered my room. I freak out a little because I don't know if the Furher is around. I mean he could be close by, and hear this lady call me. So I say…
Me: Shh. Don't call my name out like that. I'm hiding from someone. Serious shit is happening right now.
Solaris (Lust): Well, I didn't mean to scare you like that. It's nice to meet you though. My name is Solaris. I'm Jean's girlfriend.
Me: Oh! You're Havoc's girlfriend. He's told me a lot about you…and it's getting pretty annoying. He talks about you every damn day.
Solaris (Lust): *chuckles* He may be annoying, but he's Jean's a very smart man.
Me: I think I've seen you around one time. Like I saw you somewhere, but I don't remember the place exactly.
Solaris (Lust): Really? I haven't seen you.
Me: Maybe it was some other girl who probably looks like you. I don't know.
Solaris (Lust): Hmm, maybe she does maybe she doesn't. So, when I saw you, you look like you were in a dilemma. What's the problem?
Me: I just bought some clothes today. Clothes that I've never worn before. Can you help me out, Solaris?
Solaris (Lust): I'll be happy to help…
I let Solaris in my room, and this time I close the door behind me. I hear Solaris say…
Solaris (Lust): So these are the clothes you bought today? And you never wore these kinds of clothes before? They are known pretty well to other girls.
Me: No. I've been wearing something that I say is tomboy. I always wear a big jacket, a tank top, and jeans. Nothing more than that. Honestly, I wear those clothes because I want to be ready for a bitch that wants to fight me. Why should I wear such girly clothes if these hating bitches want to fight me?
Solaris (Lust): Hm.*looks at the outfits* So, what's the occasion? Someone you're meeting later?
Me: Yeah, but he's just a friend of mine. Can you keep a secret?
Solaris (Lust): I'm very good at keeping them…
Me: I'm meeting a Homunculus at a park on Friday night. He says at midnight on my birthday, he has something to give to me. I'm anxious to know what it is. I can't wait.
Solaris (Lust): Yes you can. You have two days to see this Homunculus, and three to wait for that present. Since you're seeing him, wear this.*hold up the dress*
Me: The dress?
Solaris (Lust): Yes. I can spot a dress that can show all the assets from a mile away. This is the one. Knee length stockings should go with the dress to bring sex appeal to your look. I'm saying this because you need to embrace the style you're getting used to, and change from your tomboy look to a much more sexier you. Look different for this Homunculus you're meeting.
Me: You know that's exactly what I was thinking.
Solaris (Lust): Two minds can think alike then. Have fun on Friday and Happy Early Birthday.
Me: Thank you, Solaris.
Solaris (Lust): Thank me later…*leaves the room*
Me: *to self* What does that even mean?
Thursday…
Today was like any normal day any person can ask for, but I have to live without Envy visiting me again today. Yes I am missing my buddy right now. He always makes me laugh, and I can be myself with him around. Today, I decide to walk around Central with Edward today. I already bought these knee length stockings Solaris was telling me about yesterday. We were about to pass an alley until I spot someone knocked out in the middle of it. I stop and said…
Me: Umm, Edward, there's some guy knocked out in the alley.
Edward: He collapsed somewhere again?
Me: May I ask who is he?
Edward: His name is Ling and he always collapses in the middle of the street or anywhere else. Looks like we got to help him. And it's been the umpteenth time I have to do this!
Fast Forward…
Edward and I help this Ling guy out by giving him so food, and the next thing you know, he recovered pretty quickly.
Edward: You know this will be the last time I'm going to help your ass out. You better be lucky because my friend here saw you in the alley.
Ling: Well, thank you so much for finding me, miss. My bodyguards must be worried about me.*shakes my hand*
Me: You're welcome…
Ling: I'm sorry. I didn't get your name.
Me: Serenity…
Ling: Oh, so you're the outcast of Central. The girl that can do bad all by herself. Nice to finally meet the "notorious" person of Central. You're not as infamous as they say you are.
Me: What can I say? These people are such assholes…
Edward: Don't worry about them, Serenity. They're just haters.
Ling: That's right. They think they know you, but they know nothing about you.
Me: Damn right…so where are you from, Ling?
Ling: I'm from Xing. I'm also the twelfth son of the emperor of Xing.
Me: So, you're a prince. *chuckles low, in thought* He's a prince, and he's dumb enough to collapse in an alley.
Ling: Is something on your mind?
Me: No. I just don't know what to talk about.
Ling: So, have you been witnessing the events happening in Central?
Me: If you mean the bad things, then yes. The Colonel gave me what I call a last minute notification about the Homunculi because I was kidnapped by them days ago. Each day, I'm learning more about them. The information you have, the more strategies you can make to go against them. Plus, I believe they even give us clues about the Philosopher's Stone according to I what I hear from Ed and Al.
Ling: You know, Ed, your friend here can make a good spy. She knows how to give out info. I'll bet she's street wise with the info in Central.
Edward: I know. She's awesome. Right, Serenity? *hits me on the hip*
When Edward hit my hip, a surge went through my whole body. My hips are the sweet spots of my body. If my hips get poked, hit, rubbed, or even pinched, it sexually teases me. So, I really don't allow people to touch me. One example is when Envy turned his arm into a blade, and poked it at my hip when I met him. The only difference is that the sexual tease didn't stop me from fighting. I squealed a little, and said…
Me: Edward! I told you that my hips are my weak points!
Edward: Sorry about that, Serenity.
Me: Whatever, Ed. Just don't touch me.
I was in the middle of having a nice conversation with Edward and my new friend, Ling until Mustang's car pulls over. He rolls down the widow and says…
Mustang: Hey, Serenity, you want a ride back?
Me: Sure. *to Edward* See you at HQ later, Ed. *walks to the car*
I get in the front seat of the car, and Mustang drives to the command center. He starts a conversation by saying…
Mustang: I haven't heard anything from you since I visited you at the hospital. What's the problem?
Me: Nothing really. I know you're always busy on finding out the culprit of Maes Hughes's murder, and tracking down the Homunculi. I really didn't want to bother you.
Mustang: Even if you were to see me every now and then, you wouldn't be a bother to me at all.
Me: Are you sure about that? I mean you're always serious about it around others, especially the time when Maria was accused for the murder. You need to be serious around me a little more.
Mustang: Since when did you start talking like that?
Me: Mustang, I'm turning eighteen in two days. That's the age when my adulthood starts. I have to take thing more seriously. I'm not a child anymore.
Mustang: *touches my hair, smiles* Even when you become a woman, you'll still be treated as if you're my little sister.
I smile at him, I say in my mind…
Me: *in thought* I'll see you as a brother still, but you're too overprotective to me…
