When I woke up, I was in a bed. Adjusting to the bright light in the room, I try and sit up. Although, with my injury, it becomes hard to do so. 

When I am finally able sit up, I see Ross and Brosh across the room next to Ed's bed.

'I guess we must be in a hospital after what happened at the prison,' I hold my stomach in pain.

All three don't notice I'm awake until they slap Ed; I laughed really loud.

I look away quickly, in fear of also being hit. They begin to tell Ed about being able to rely on people.

"They're right Ed," I look down at my lap. "I am always here."

The room is then silent.

"That's all!" Both Ross and Brosh suddenly burst out. "Please forgive our abusive words and conduct, sir! It will not happen again!"

I giggle slightly.

"No," Ed begins, almost shyly. "You're all right. I should be apologizing."

"My punishment, for slapping you," Ross looks worried as to what might happen to her.

"Nothing," he looks at them with slight confusion. "I had it coming."

They hear that and began to relax. Brosh puts a hand over his heart in relief and Ross places a hand on the wall while also doing the same as Brosh.

"What's got you two so scared of me?" Ed sweatdrops.

"State certified alchemist carry a military rank equivalent to that of a Major," Ross explains.

"I wouldn't worry about that with Ed," I laugh lightly.

"Yeah," Ed agrees. "Don't worry about it. I didn't get my certification so people could kiss up to me. You don't have to talk to me like I'm  a high ranking officer."

"Really?" Ross happily places one of her hands on her cheeks. "Oh."

"I guess we were scared of the brat for nothing," Brosh sighs in relief.

"Hey wait," I frown. "Where's Al?"

"Yeah," Ed looks at them. "I haven't seen him."

"Alphonse got his own lecture earlier," Brosh grimaces as he brings up his hurt hand. "But I was the one who did the slapping."

I laugh, yet it gets interrupted by Ross.

"Don't thing we forgot about you young lady," Ross looks over at me.

I chuckle nervously and look away.

All of sudden, Ed's yells in fear. "I almost forgot. I have an even less pleasant lecture in store for me today."

"What are you talking about?" I question.

"Well," he looks at his arm. "It has to do something with my arm, heh."

"Of course it does," I facepalm and sigh. "Well, tell her I say hi when you call her."

"Yeah, I will."

After my lecture, my cheek hurts by the way, Ed came back with Brosh.
