Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist or FMAB.
Note: Please review, I would appreciate it. This is my first proper story. I also give credit to Kumajirou17 because she did the first part of the story, and fixed some errors.
Julia Summers, a girl of 5 ft. with long, wavy, chestnut brown hair and dark blue eyes, was waiting for her closest friend and fellow anime fangirl, Sienna Torre, in the mall.
Just for you guys to know, Sienna Torre has straight, black hair that reaches until breast length. Her eyes are a brownish shade of red that made her look like a frickin' innocent angel.
To kill some time, Julia went window shopping around the mall. Passing by countless clothing stores and shoe shops; each time wanting to buy something from the store. ''Hurry up, Sienna.'' she muttered under her breath. She was getting frustrated seeing all the cool things she could buy had she brought more money. She only had a handful of dollars and decided to spend it on food.
As she continued her walk, she noticed a bookstore with a lot of books on a sale which made her stop. 'I was sure that I saw an interesting book there a day ago...' she thought bemusedly while scanning the books: "The Guinness Book of World Records"; "City of Bones", a book she heard was wicked awesome according to her dear friend; "How to Get Rid of Unnecessary Fat in 40 Days", she was so going to buy that book for her uncle this christmas; and a book entitled "The Alchemist's Handbook". That was the book that caught her blue eyes.
'Alchemy? That reminds me of... FMAB. Hm... I'll go check it out.' she thought while walking inside the bookstore, eager to see the price tag. '$8.00. Perfect.' she thought, smiling. It was affordable. she could still buy food that would make her full with the little remaing money she would have as change. After fishing around her disorganzed wallet, she paid for the book and brought it with her as she left. As she checked her watch, she figured that Sienna should already be in the cafe they were meeting in. Ok, I'm probably already late. Better just eat with Sienna. She half-walked and half-jogged on her way to the cafe.
As she opened the door to the cafe she heard a soft ting! and immediately began searching for Sienna. Fortunately, the search was short since Julia Summers realized Sienna Torre, was right beside her. She sighed and turned to the 5'3 girl. Ready to give a lecture. Which would have been weird, seeing as she was shorter by 3 inches. Guess she's that awesome.
"What took you so long, Ms. Let's-meet-at-4:30-p.m.? It's already 5:00 p.m.! she said with a frustrated voice. and face.
"Oh c'mon~ You know me. I take long showers." said Sienna.
"Whatever... Anyway let's go!" said Julia walking to the stores.
"Wait~!" said Sienna running after her.
After hours of window shopping and a bit of shopping they had hardly enough money left to spend and went to rest from all the walking.
"I'm gonna start reading the alchemy book, ok? You... try to entertain yourself." said Julia, opening the book.
"Fiiine, I'm gonna go to another shop."Sienna pouted, running to the window of the shop admiring the stuff displayed.
"Yeah. ok. whatever." said the brunette not even noticing that her friend left because of she was engrossed in what she was reading.
AN HOUR LATER~
They went to Julia's house to rest, seeing as it was the nearer home. Besides, they had agreed that before Sienna went home, Julia try alchemy and show Sienna, if ever it worked.
"Hey Sienna, I'm gonna try the stuff in the book now." Julia called from the basement, opening the book and copying the transmuation circle on the ground.
"Cool." said Sienna, kneeling down to take a closer look at what she was doing.
After Julia drew the transmutation circle, she looked at it as if to admire her work, and then clapped her hands together as if she was praying, put her hands in the circle and tried to transmute the wooden floor below them, but nothing happened.
Sienna started laughing looking at the confused and frustrated brunette in front of her.
"Huh? I don't understand? I did exactly what the book said... Why didn't it work?" said the confused brunette.
"Well... Something must have happened." said Sienna still giggling.
"Hmph! This is so annoying!" said Julia with an angry voice. "I shouldn't have trusted this writer..."
"Relax, Julia. Anyway, it's getting dark. I better be going." said Sienna, waving.
"Okay... see you tomorrow." Julia replied, half-heartedly waving at her.
Once Sienna's head disappered, Julia cleaned up and got ready for bed, putting the book in her bag.
Morning came and Julia was running late since her alarm clock mysteriously didn't ring. But anyway, that was another story. Back to the main story, She was able to go inside her classroom before the bell rang and met up with Sienna in their school's library that day. Now let me show you how their awesome meeting went~
"Hey Sienna."
"Hey Julia."
"So... How are you?" said Julia, trying to start a conversation.
"Great. How's your 'alchemy' going?" said Sienna. Note the quotation marks. That was 'cause she didn't really believe Julia would be able to do it. And she also didn't think that alchemy works in their world.
"Not really going well."
"Ah."
"Hey, um...let's meet here again during free time, okay? We're gonna be late if we stand around longer." said Julia.
"Sure...um, what exactly are we going to do here?" asked Sienna, a bit confused.
"I'm gonna try alchemy again!" Julia replied. Sienna thought she saw a twinkle in her eye, but ignored the thought, believing that eye-twinkles only happened in non-fictional videos.
"Well...okay then."
"So. Free time, exact same spot. Okay?" said Julia.
"I heard you." she replied, while walking to her side of the building. 'Does she seriously think alchemy works?' she thought to herself.
"I know you did!" the brunette said, feeling quite jumpy today.
So a few hours later, in an empty corner in the library...
Julia was drawing a transmutation circle, the same as yesterday's. Meanwhile, Sienna paced around their small corner uneasily. 'Cause she was a goody-two-shoes, and she wasn't about to break her perfect record.
"W-what if we're caught? How are we gonna explain?" said Sienna, glancing around uneasily, looking as if she was prepared to run and make up an excuse to the teacher who would happen to see her running.
"Relax, it's just chalk. I could easily erase it. And we're currently in the darkest corner of the room (which wasn't that dark to begin with.) so I doubt someone would notice us."
Yeah, because two girls in the darkest corner of the library, not reading, were very common.
"But what if- okay fine, I'm going to count from one to ten, and-"
"Okay, done! Now, let's do this!" said Julia,
"Pray this works." muttered Sienna, who still wasn't convinced that this would work.
Julia started. She clapped her hands and lay it down on the circle. After a few minutes Sienna felt dizzy and fainted. Julia glanced at her friend, grinning. But once she saw her unconscious, she stopped and went near her friend, trying to wake her up. Suddenly, Julia felt dizzy too.
She steadied herself, determined to wake her friend up. She moved closer to her friend and tried to wake her once more. But the pain was too great and she fell next to Sienna, unconscious.
