   "Congratulations," the onyx eyed man in the blue uniform said to me in a very informal way as he presented me the watch that the State Alchemists carried around with them, "You're now a dog of the military, Fare."

I glared at him as I took the silver watch and stuck it in my pocket, and grabbed the paperwork.

"Oh thank you too!" my voice was in the same tone, dripping with loathe and acid as his. I didn't call him Colonel Mustang, just Mustang or Roy. He didn't like that, I knew from his glares and the tone of voice he used when talking to me. I rather it stay that way, I didn't like him either.

   I stormed out of the office and then out of the building, hoping that I will never have to see Mustang again. Well, that's getting my hopes too high. I would have to see him again, as walk through those dreaded doors. The only person that I really liked was Lt. Colonel Hughes and Lt. Hawkeye. They didn't have the same personality as Mr. Mustang, in fact, they were pretty nice to me and usually everyone.

   I stared out the window of the fast moving train, catching glimpses of cows and random creatures as they chewed their way to the dirt. The same thing all cows do every single day, their lives must be dull. The station to Resembol was in sight and the train started to slow down, and with the jerk, I grabbed my few belongings, now added with the watch. A cloak and a small leather bag.

    Who I never thought I would see... Him. That little Blondie and the big tin can of kindness.

"Al!" I shrieked as I saw them outside, talking to Pinako. The empty armour turned, and if I jumped onto him and gave him a tight squeeze, maybe a bit too hard on myself, and might have bruised one or two of my own ribs. Note to Self: Do not hug suits of armor.

   I looked up at Ed, he was taller than me still, but I had the advantage of age by a few short months. (February 3rd, 1905 was his birthday, mine was the 13th of October, 1904) I glared up at him, and he gave me a slight smile. I bet he was glad he found someone shorter than himself.

"Hey, you're still so short!" I said loudly, as if to annouce the fact that he was so small and tiny. I smirked as I saw him explode with anger, Al having to hold him back.

"You! Who're you calling a shirp so small that nobody can see with their naked eye, huh?!"

"Sadly, you still are the same Ed. I wished you changed..." I replied, cursing him with my mind.

   Winry watched from above, a smile was on her face. I wanted to rip it off so badly. My onyx eyes met her blue ones and her smile was bigger than ever.

"Glad you're back, Sparkles!"

"Glad to see you again too, Auto Mail Otaku!"

"Watch for the wrench, Fare!"
