"Rose…what did they do to you…?"

Russell's POV –

"Fletcher get back in here, I'm surprised that you'd do such a thing."

"Sorry brother…but I wanna know whats going on in there and whats so funny, Winry wont stop giggling." Fletcher…he'll never understand.

"I don't really think you want to know anyways. So just come back in here and go to sleep we have to leave early anyways."

"Yes, brother…"

"Oh! Ed! Stop it (giggle)" are they going to do this the whole freaking night…

(Back at Central)

Roy's POV –

"So…Rose, they really did…rape you?" I cant believe our soldiers would sink this low.

"…yea…they did." She hung her head, I could still sense the sadness in her eyes.

"Shouldn't we do something? They can't get away with this!" hmm…Al is really defensive for Rose, could he…? I'll have to ask him later.

"We are going to do something about this, don't worry. Now, Rose…tonight since its such short notice you'll bunk in Al and Ed's room. You can have Ed's bed, he wont be here for awhile. Then tomorrow morning I'll have Riz…Hawkeye escort you down to the doctors, is that alright with you?" damn I slipped and said Riza again…someone's going to eventually find out if I keep doing that.

"So people as kind as you actually exist in the military…yea that sounds fine with me." Rose put a small smile on her face, I hope nothing bad comes from the doctor's examination….

"…I should show you where our room is then…" Al jumped out of his seat and led Rose to their room. Haha…I can see right through that suit of armor of his…he likes this girl!

Al's POV –

Poor Rose…how could someone do that to her! When they get those guys I'm gonna have to deal with them first and wait till brother hears about this, he's gonna be pissed off more pissed of than when people call him a shrimp!

"Al? You look like your deep in thought? I hope I'm not bothering you." Rose looked at her feet as she shuffled them across the floor. …How is she bothering me!

'Of course not, Rose! You aren't bothering me at all! And what those soldiers did to you, yeah its making me think how corrupt the world is getting and I wish it didn't happen to you! I mean who could ever do that to such a beautiful…" uh…

Rose turned around and stared at me…uh…I hope I didn't freak her out by getting protective…great. WAY TO GO AL!

"Al…did you just…call me beautiful?"

"Um…"

"…"

"Uh…yea…I did."

"…"

"…what…I think you are! Your so kind and gentle too! I mean I can understand why you'd be a little freaked out by a big chunk of metal saying this to yo…"

What is she doing? Is she really hugging me? I wish I could feel it…

Rose's POV –

I just had to hug Al. The metal is uncomfortably cold but I can stand it for him, it must be tough not being able to feel and express emotions. But why would he say those things to me…I'm not beautiful, I'm dirty…I have been turned to filth because of what they did to me…I cant possibly be beautiful…

"Al…" I stepped back and pulled my arms to my side…wondering what he'd do, what his reaction would be from what I just did.

Al didn't say anything. He just continued showing me where I'd be staying……

Back at the Rockbells…

Russell's POV –

I just woke up and its only eight thirty…oh shit we have to leave this morning! I hope Winry doesn't mind if I take a look in the kitchen for breakfast. Ah…looks like Edwards up.

"Have fun last night, shorty?" I quietly come down the stairs.

"WHAT! WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTY? WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SPEC OF DUST THAT CANT BE SEEN UNDER A MICROSCOPE HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH!"

"Edward, just answer the question."

"…what do you mean by have fun last night!" oh whatever, I could tell Ed understood what I meant by the reddish hue appearing on his cheeks.

"You know perfectly what I mean. You guys kept me up all night! Noisy…"

"…"

I started laughing and then while Ed just sat there stunned I found some cereal eventually.

"You guys are up early." Oh. Winry came down the stairs yawning and rubbing her eyes. Then on the last step she tripped on her robe. Before she hit the ground, Ed slid under her to break her fall.

"Ed! Are you ok? Oh I am sooo sorry!" she gave him a huge hug. Whatever…I never knew Fruit Loops were this good….:shut up, im eating fruit loops rite now I cudnt think of ne thing better:
