Eclair's POV

After starting on our way, we started becoming what we mainly thought of each other as: family.
None of us had a family really, it was only Trevor, and his father (who stayed behind) and Ed and Al. Well, that anyone'd speak of anyhow.
"Hopefully we can get this done fast and quick" I say, stretching while walking. This really wasn't my Idea of 'fun' traveling with others who'd just ditch me when it got ugly.
"Hey, Yumi! Vapor! Any of you have any guesses where they could be?"
"My guess is't perfect, but I believe they're rioting in the valley of this mountain." Vapor concluded.
"That makes sense since the only way to get there is by foot, so no one can really come or leave fast." Ayumi added.
"Well that's just great. My feet are going to hurt so much so by the time it gets to fighting, I won't be able to"
"El, be lucky you only have one foot"
"But the other's auto-mail, and that feels heavy when you're tired." I snap, quickening my pace down the mountain.
"Is she always this quick tempered?" I hear Winry ask Ayumi.
"I don't think so"
I continued on leading from the front.
This was going to be a long journey.

Trevor's POV

We stopped for the night. It was in a foresty area, so It was easy to camp. Everyone took to their normal places. Eclair climbed a tree since she likes high places, and probably fell asleep there, Winry and I set up a place where we could work, Al crashed with Ayumi, vapor with cloud, and Ed leaning against the tree Eclair was sitting in high above.
"Hey, Ed" I called to him, after I knew the others were asleep.
"What?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"If you think I can be a use to you"
"Do you like Eclair?"
"What-what type of question is that?!?!"
"I wanna know. Honestly. She's like my sister. I know there's something between you two!"
Ed had turned bright red, as he tries to look away. "Why do you want to know?"
"I told you, she's almost my sister. And if you wanna know how you get her, you have to get my father to approve of it also, and her. She's not easy to get"
"Why you-" Ed clapped his hands, and put them on the tree behind him, standing up, as daggers shot out, breaking the tree. I dived past them, into Ed. We tumbled on the ground, as something falls on us.
Eclair.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR YOU IDIOTS?!?!?!! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF I DIDN'T FALL ON YOU OR IF I WAS STILL ASLEEP!!!! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!" She rants on as I run away. Ed stays to try and calm her down.

Eclair's POV

"What was that for?!"
"Trevor was being a brat, so I tried to-"
"Enough. I get it." I sigh, "And that was a perfect tree too. Comfortable and everything"
"How do you find that comfortable? And what do you mean by perfect?"
"I fell asleep in it. And when I woke up, I wasn't in pain anywhere, except for the fact the tree collapsed and I was falling."
"I'm sorry"
"Huh? Why? It's not your fault."
"But I used alchemy on the tree making it fall"
Wait. This was Ed's fault. Then why was I acting like it was not?
"I'm sorry" I bolt off, running.
It was all true. Everything that Trevor's father told me. I did have a thing for Edward after all.
When have I learned to fall so low?
