-Ed-

It's been a week since the incidents in Hiessgart, Catherine was more affected by the past events then what the Elric brothers had ever imagined. She was quiet during the whole time when she left the counrty, and it was really bothering the two, especially a certain alchemist who always bickers with her. "Brother, what are we going to do?" asks a very concerned Alphonse, facing his attention to his elder sibling. Edward was unsure of what to do as well, it was hard to think someone like her would give into depression so easily, and he wasn't really sure of what had happened when he got to the scene. The memory was still engraved into his head.

"I told you already you can't come!" for hours now, Ed had been constantly repeating the same thing to his partner, who happened to keep up with him on reasoning of going along with them. "C'mon Elric! I won't screw up this time!" she whines, pulling onto Ed's arm, exactly like how a little kid would be if asking something from his/her mommy. No longer able to handle the strain, Ed grabbed her left arm and transmuted the cloth of her jacket, fusing it together with the nearest object. It was okay since they had already left the police HQ and were, supposedly, heading towards the nearest hotel for a good nights rest, but Ed had had suddenly changed their plans. "Hey! Get me outta here Elric!" Catherine demands as she flails her right arm around, in an attempt to atleast hit him on the face.

Ed runs away screaming, "See ya later!" He was actually feeling pretty good aout leaving Catherine behind, but what he didn't know was that he had messed with the wrong person.

-Me-

I couldn't believe what had just happened, Elric just left me alone to outside attached to a wall, and in a place where comeone could kill me! "Wait a sec," I turned my attention to my arm and realized something, "this is my automail arm!" I started to flex my automail arm a little, then started to pull out my arm with all of my strength. Cracks then formed until I was able to fully take my arm out. After getting back my posture, "Alice wait for me... I'll come and find you..." I whispered and started my search for my friend. A shadow passed by the corner of my eyes and into a nearby alley. Out of curiousity, I made my way towards the nearest alley, but I had to make sure that nobody else was there before I had to enter. "Alice? Are you here?" I call out while I continued my way down, but the only thing that responded was something to move neabry.

Taking in one gulp and I headed towards where the sound came form. But when I got there, something had popped out, causing me to scream in fear, "Gah!!!!!! Don't kill me!!!!!!!!" But then I realized it was nothing but your common alley cat. The thing just looked at me blankly as I kept my frozen stance then meowed, walking past me as if I was invisible. I gained back my posture and wiped my forehead in relief, "And I got worked up over nothing...... Hehehe..." I was finally feeling relieved until a voice rang from behind my back, "You really did came!" The last thing that happened to me was the feeling of the cement floor colliding with me, along with the feeling of something wet running up my side. I finally registered what happened to me and started to lash out, "For god sake Alice stop glomping me!"

"It's not my fault," she rubbed her head against me chest before continuing, "you just feel so soft." That comment sent me over the edge, I instantly threw her up and continued my rant, "I'm not as soft as a stupid rabbit!!!!" Alice laughed at this, well not as human like, and started to lick my face as a dog would when it's happy. It tickled my face and I started to laugh.
