-Dani-

"Ed, please? I really want to meet them."

"Why can't it wait? We're going out to see Drachma. It's to see what they learn about alchemy."

I pouted and made big eyes, "Please. Just one day and night. That's all I'm asking. They're my family."

His eyebrow twitched before he sighed, "Fine. One day and night. That's it. Then we get on a train to the boarder."

I grinned and threw my arms around him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you." I murmured softly in his ear.

He wrapped his arms around me and nodded.

"If we're getting off next stop, we might as well get ready." He grumbled.

I nodded and pointed to his and my suit cases. They were both packed. He sighed and we got ready to get off. When the train came to a stop in the station, I grabbed my suitcase and he grabbed his. We walked off and I kept close to Ed. He walked us over to the phones so I could call my Gram.

"Howard residence." Gram said.

"Hi Grammy! Ed and I were on the train out west and I convinced him to get off here in West City-"

"You're here! Finally Dani. I'll send your Aunt Fredricka and Uncle Brad. Now who do we look for?" She ased excitedly.

I paled, "Well, look for a man with long blonde hair and a woman with multiple ear peircings and purple eyes."

"Alright! See you in a bit!" She hung up and I sighed.

Ed wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my cheek.

"We have a bit before they come. Come on, let's sit." He said and walked me over to an empty bench.

He sat down after placing our suitcases on the rest of the space so I had to sit on his lap.

"Sly." I laughed as I sat on his lap.

He smiled and rested his head in my neck. We sat there for a few minutes before I saw someone making their way over. An older woman with golden hair and blue eyes dragging a man older than her with greying black hair and brown eyes.

She stopped in front of us and put her hands on her hips.

"Daniella Howard?" She asked.

"Uh... Yes?" I asked nervously.

She squealed and hugged me.

"I'm your Aunt Fredricka! And this must be the Ed we've been hearing all about!" She exclaimed and pulled Ed up into a hug too.

I smiled at my Uncle and he smiled.

"You look a lot like Marcus. It's good to meet you, Lip Peircing." He joked and hugged me.

I smiled and hugged him back. He let go and gave Ed a firm handshake before grabbing our suitcases and leading us to their car. Ed and I got into the back and soon we were off.

"You look gorgeous, Dani. You're a lot like your father. A bit of your mother too, but maybe a hint of Xingese in there. The eyes, hair, and mouth are definately hers. Ed, you look nice too. Dani's made a good choice. Are you treating her well?" Fredricka asked.

Ed gulped, "Well, yeah. I mean, she hasn't complained and we haven't gotten into any fights. It's good."

I could tell he was nervous. I grabbed his hands and rubbed his knuckles. He looked at me and smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder and he kissed my hair. He kept his face there as we arrived at a big townhouse and I stared in awe.
