70Hello to all my future readers, this is Al's-best-friend (no duh). I want you to know this is my first story and I'm a little nervous. I will accept flames to my story, it doesn't matter just send any kind of review. (Smiles sweetly) Thank you!
(Oh and by the way my disclaimer dude is sick, (sniffs) so Terri will fill in for now.)
Terri/ disclaimer dude: Al's-best-friend owns FMA and all the characters in it! She does I tell you!
Al's-best-friend grabs Winry's wrench and throws it at him with amazing power.
Al's-best-friend: Sorry for that, I don't own FMA; I just own my oc characters (sigh).
The sun shone brightly and reflected off the train as it raced through the countryside. Inside the train there weren't many passengers. Why would there be, nothing is really in the small town of Resembool (A/n: Hope I spelled that right, it's where Winry lives.) except an automail mechanic .That's what two out of the few passengers wanted, both the boy and the girl.
"Brother, how are you doing?" In that compartment of the train there was a girl, fourteen years old to be exact. She had dirty blonde hair that had been layered to fix perfectly around her face. She was leaning over into a face of a boy. "Brother?" she asked again. She sighed knowing she wouldn't get his attention. When her brother is in thought the only thing you can do is wait.
The older boy, seventeen years old, had a troubled look on his face. He had black, tangled hair pulled back into a tiny stub of a ponytail on the back of his head. Suddenly his face snapped back to focus and he grimaced. His hands went down and covered what he had left of his legs.
"Brother, brother, Terri are you okay?" The girl studied her brother trying to find a way to help him. After his pain passed his face relaxed and he stopped clutching the stubs of his legs.
"I am fine." he breathed out.
"Terri why do you have to be in pain all the time?" the girl asked.
"Marla look….." he was interrupted by her,
"I mean you have no legs and you are in pain a lot but, I only have one arm why don't I feel anything painful." She was close to tears now, "I don't want to stand here and do nothing!"
"Marla it's not your fault" Terri said embracing his younger sibling into a hug. "I asked you to try to bring her back from the grave, so I deserve to be in pain, it's not your fault."
"Whatever," Marla said looking down at the stub of her right arm.
"Al, give me the cat." Inside another compartment, in the same train Marla and Terri are riding in, sat Edward and Alphonse Elric.
"Al now!" Ed asked again his patience wearing thin.
"Brother it is just a defenseless kitty, how could you throw out such a cute kitten into the cold?" Ed looked at his younger brother with big, surprised eyes.
He always wondered how Al could show that much emotion on his face.
"Pppplllleeeeaaaasssseeee (please), can we keep the kitten brother!" Al said in the most innocent voice he could manage.
"Al, YOU, not me, will put that cat outside when we get off but, if you happen to find an owner before we get to Winry's house there is nothing I can do about it.
Al sighed knowing there weren't too many passengers on the train and, the chances of saving this 'defenseless' kitten were rare.
Al sighed again and took the kitten out of his armor. It blinked unused to the sunlight for being in the armor so long.
It then stretched and Al noticed something about it.
"Brother you know this kitten reminds me of you"
"Why is that Al?" said Ed leaning over to try to get a better look at it. "Well….it's kind of small. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BUG SO SMALL THAT ITS SUN IS A MICROSCOPIC PIECE OF DUST!
"What in the world was that?" asked the alarmed Terri.
"I will go find out for you." Said Marla thinking there would be no way her brother would be able to walk out there and see (A/n: No legs duh!).
She slipped on her jacket because she didn't want people staring at the stub of her right arm. She stepped out and saw a small boy with braided, blonde hair chasing someone in a suit of armor carrying a small kitten (A/n: Try saying that three times fast).
The small boy was chasing the guy in armor in circles yelling something along the lines of "not short" and "everyone else is just way too tall".
Now Marla was thinking this was just way too funny. She put her left arm over her mouth to try to stop the giggles from leaking through until she could not hold it in anymore. She burst out into laughter. The two brothers stopped and saw a girl using one hand on the wall to keep herself up, her face bright red. She suddenly stopped as if knowing she was being watched.
"Sorry if I interrupted something." she said blushing for being caught. Seeing that she was embarrassed Al decided to say something,
"No problem, by the way I'm Al and this," he said pointing to the other boy, "is Ed." Marla was shocked that such a young voice was coming from inside the armor. Could it be someone that young, fourteen or fifteen she was guessing, could be big enough to fit inside the armor?
"Marla, are you alright?" called Terri.
"Oh, I have to go my brothers worried about me." said Marla.
Al suddenly remembered something as the girl waved goodbye to check on her brother. "Would you like a kitten?"
The girl turned around with a big smile on her face. "Really? You would give such a sweet, little kitten to me?"
Ed, remembering what Al had said earlier about that kitten being small like him, turned red with anger.
"Absolutely!" Al said. If he could smile he would.
"Thanks so much! I think I will call her Belle." The kitten meowed. Marla, finally remembering her manners said "By the way I'm Marla thanks again you guys!"
So Marla ran into her compartment where she meet her worried brother, told him about Ed and Al, told him they had made the noise, and then fell asleep with Belle, the small kitten, in her left arm. Meanwhile Ed started chasing Al until he became too tired, told Al he was sorry, and Al knowing his brother was just being himself smiled to himself as they went back to their compartment.
Al's-best-friend: So did you like it? I know it was corny but, please still review!

The neko kirara: Where you telling people to review my story again?

The neko kirara starts chasing Al's-best-friend all around the room.
Terri: Will you girls ever stop fighting?
Both girls stop running "NEVER!"
