hOPEFULLY,gADIEL'S PIC IS UP THERE,SOMEWHERE)
Lunch~Emma pov
"How did you meet Angel and Gadiel?" Winry asked at lunch. The three of us looked up to the ceiling.
"Weeeeeellll...."Angel started.
"When she moved here, Angel was fascinated with her hair and eyes. From then on, we were friends." Gadiel said.
"I can imagine..."Roy smirked.
"So you guys are close?"Al asked.
"Yeah, well, we're all friends here, we're all close....but Angel rubbed her craziness off on Emma."Gadiel said.
"She did not!" I yelled.
"GEEDOM!"Angel yelled.
Years ago~Angel pov
... but that long ago
A young girl was standing alone during recess. She was small and had long green hair and eyes.
"Gadiel.... look."I told him.
"..... that's the new girl, right?" he asked, looking at her.
"Yeah..... well, let's go talk to her!"I said.
"Angel wait-"
I ran over to her, putting my hand out. She quickly retreated.
"I'm Angel Winfred.. What's your name?" I asked.
"....uh.....Emma. Emma Black...."she said, shaking my hand awkwardly.
"Did you just move here? Why's your hair green? Is Emma short for something? Where are you from?-"
"Alright Angel, I think you've asked enough questions....."Gadiel said.
"That's my brother, Gadiel. Oh, do you have a brother? Sister?" I asked as she nodded.
"His name is Alistair. He's older than me. Lacey too, but he's small....."
"Cool! It's just Gadiel and me, did you just move here? Where are you from? .....Hey.... wanna play jumprope?" I asked. She nodded as we got the rope from the teacher.
The days passed by and we usually hung out together. Everything was going great. Emma was shy, but knew how to handle things... unless it involved physical problems. She never let her problems get the better of her. If either one of us were bullied or bothered about something, we'd find a way to fix it.

"..... you guys wanna see something cool?" Emma asked, nervously. We nodded, wondering what could be so important to make her so fidgety. She brought us to her backyard, and put her hand on the soil. She closedget eyes and began whispering, until something came up. It was a huge sunflower.... it wasn't that big, but we were small.(#-_-)
She was scared we'd be afraid of her, but Gadiel showed her his fire power and I almost chopped off her head with the pocket knife my mother gave me. I SAID ALMOST... I mean, yeah, she cried and all but.....(-_-')
My mother and father trained us. Mom taught me martial arts and fighting techniques, and father taught Gadiel how to control his flame.
~
Everything was going good..... until our house burned down. Emma cried for us.... Gadiel told her what happened. She hugged us, saying it was going to be okay....Our aunt took us in, and everything was slowly changing.
I saw Gadiel burn everyone and everything in that house, and I think he hated himself for it. Seeing my mother burn and my father run into the house.....I didn't know how to cope........I cried, and just....shut down. I didn't feel alive I didn't feel real anymore..... how could we be laughing one day.... and dead the next?
"I'm sorry about your house...."Emma cried.
"Why? It's not like you burned it down...."Gadiel spat.
"... but that still doesn't change the fact that your parents are......"she trailed off. "Everything will turn out fine, just keep moving......my mom says-"
"Would you shuttup!? Everything isn't fine and good, it instantly isn't going to turn out good because you want it to! Damnit Emma, if your too stupid to realize what's happening then you never will!" He yelled as his fire free around his eyes and fists. I had grabbed his arm, my eyes begging him to stop. He looked at me, horrified, probably remembering What happened last night, and stopped.
"Ah............ im sorry....."she said.
Emma's mom came in, telling us she was sorry about the incident and took Emma home. We didn't speak for a while, but she still came over, bringing food her mom cooked over to our aunt's house. She waved when she passed with a small smile. We hadn't spoken for about a month.... She read her books during class and free time on one side and we just stayed on the other, managing therapy after school and the death of our parents. Gadiel apologized, so many times, but...I didn't hate him. I know I probably should.... but I can't....he didn't mean it..... right?
~
We were in class, during math when Emma didn't come to school. We found out that her mother killed herself that morning. We went over the next day......
Her grandfather and older brother were watching Emma and Lacey. Emma was in the backyard, just, sitting there.
"Emma....?"I asked.
She didn't move or turn around.
"Emma..... I-" Gadiel began.
"She wasn't moving.....the night before .... she said she was sorry..... and she made bad decisions in her life....."She said. ".....why would she leave us? Why would she leave me alone? She was the only one I talked to....Alistair wasn't anywhere to be found yesterday.....and his stuff was gone......why would she leave me?"she cried. We tried moving closer, but a vine with thorns stopped us. Emma got up, turning to us.
"You.... you left me alone.....! ....I had no one to talk to.... and the only person I trusted left me.... why does everyone leave me?!" she cried. Her vines came at me, and we dodged until Gadiel burned her vines, and she fell on her knees crying.
"Emma...."I said, pulling her into a hug.
We all slept over her house that night. She mostly clung to me as we layed on her bed.
"....Emma...the reason....I yelled at you..... was because......I.....I killed them. I burned down the house. There was a burglar and-"Gadiel was shocked by her sudden hug.
"...... it's okay...."she cried"..I promise........I'll make it okay...."She said as we all cried-
Gadiel:I did not cry.
Angel:Yeah yah did.
Gadiel:........
Angel:Admit it..
Gadiel:... okay, my eyes were leaking.
Angel:Exactly. Now, back to the story.
We had been through the same pain.... and that made us stronger....
TRIPLE THREAT! Was something we'd usually say.

I smiled, remembering our old days.
"Something has you in a good mood." Roy said, putting an arm over my shoulder and pulling me close.
"Sure does....." I said, smiling and resting my head on his shoulder.
