CLARE'S POV

It's been a few days since seeing Al, and yet I still don't know what to do. I mentioned some of it to Ed, but he's still trying to figure it out too.

Me: Why couldn't this be easier?

???: Because that's life for yeah.

I turn to see Ally and her boyfriend.

Me: Hey guys.

Ally looks to me before looking over to her boyfriend.

Ally: This is Chris, he's a fellow alchemist like you.

Me: And your boyfriend I'm assuming?

She nods.

Chris: The one and only.

He smiles and pats Ally's head.

Ally: Hey! Don't do that!

He lightly laughs before kissing the top of her head. He seems like a sweet guy.

Ally: So... Whatcha up to?

Me: Just finished my jobs for today, why?

Ally: Wanna go on a little trip?

Me: Trip?

Chris: More like we were all assigned to do something 'trip'.

Me: Wait what is it?

Ally: Some kind of creature is lurking about in town and is hurting people. We were all sent out to find it and capture it.

Me: Alive or dead?

Chris: I don't think it really matters, but alive is usually preferred.

Me: I see.

Ally: So do you wanna come?

Ed was suppose to call me again tonight for any ideas for Al's situation... Shit what do I do?

Me: Uhh I guess. Do you think we'll be back before tonight?

Ally: We hope to be. But you can never really know with any mission right?

Me: Fair enough. Okay let's get going!

I bolt for the front door with Chris laughing along with Ally.

Ally: Guess she's pumped.

Chris: Apparently.

I open the doors for a mouth full of snow. I cough a few times to feel someone pat my back.

Chris: Don't die yet, we haven't even started the mission yet.

Ally giggles and passes by me.

Ally: Come on slow poke, let's go.

We all exit to soon see all her other friends.

Me: Are they coming as well?

Ally: Mmhm.

Dan: Ally you brought the pretty chick!

Ally sighs and turns to me.

Ally: Sorry about him.

Me: Haha don't worry about it.

I walk up to Dan and flicked him on the forehead.

Me: Thanks for the compliment, but I have a boyfriend. If he heard you, he'd probably kill you.

Dan: Who's your boyfriend anyway? Could he be that badass FullMetal guy back in Central?

Me: Actually yes, yes he is? Something wrong with that?
