Rana sat in the waiting room, her head down. The doctors had begun to, or at least try to, treat the Colonel, but she still felt guilty.

The waiting room is silent except for the sound of doctors passing through. The door opens and three figures enter.

I make a face as i look down at my now wet black lace dress.. leave it to me to step in a knee deep puddle at a hospital.. i look over at Alphonse’s worried expression and put my hand on his shoulder. “It’s going to be ok.” I assure him as much as myself.

Rana looked up at the three, searching for familiar faces. She recognized Hawkeye from training, but the other two were unfamiliar. "Hello, sir, ma'am..." she said quietly, turning towards the two. "Forgive my asking, but are you friends of the Colonel's?"

I scratch the back of my fluffy black kitten ear uncomfortably. I assume the colonel was edward. “Well..this Is Alphonse..he is Mr. Edwards brother.” I say as i point to Alphonse.

Rana stiffened slightly, before sighing. "Ah... I'm sorry, sir," she murmured.

I cover my mouth and try to suppress a snicker at the the other girl’s mistake.

Rana flinched, unsure of why the girl was laughing at her. Her gaze shifted to the floor, as she rested her head on her hands. "Ma'am...I wasn't apologizing about messing up his relation to the Colonel..."

Alphonse wasn't paying much attention to the girls, simply nodding as he slumped into the nearest seat avaliable and placing his head in his hands. Riza sighed, "Private Parva, right? I am General Hawkeye, we met at training. I believe you're currently working an assignment from my husband." She stuck her hand out to the girl.

Rana nodded, standing up and shaking General Hawkeye's hand. "Yes, ma'am," she murmured.

"So, do you have an information on Colonel Elric's condition?" The General asked, and Alphonse lifted his head to look at the girl. "You were with him." He asked, "Is he, okay?"

"Well, when I picked him up to get him here, he was strong enough to hit me a few times in protest," Rana said, smiling weakly in the boy's direction. "I'm not a doctor, but I think he'll be okay..."

Alphonse released a relieved sighed and smiled. "Yeah...that sounds like Nii-san alright..." Riza turned back to Rana. "The Fuehrer was the one who sent word to me about Edward's condition. Where is she now?"

"Ah...I'm not sure. She must've gone off somewhere... Sorry, ma'am," Rana frowned.

"Hm..." Riza sighed for a moment and turned to Alphonse. "I'm going to see if I can speak with the doctors. You stay here with the girls." The boy nodded and she left. All was silent again, until Alphonse decided to speak. "Um...so Miss. Parva? Your on an assignment for General Mustang? If you don't mind me asking...why are you here then? Are you a friend of Nii-san's?"

"General Mustang assigned me to help Colonel Elric with his research," Rana replied, frowning slightly. That didn't explain why she was here, but she figured she shouldn't tell this boy.

"Oh...so your working with, Nii-san?" The boy sounded a little dissapointed. "I was hoping you were a friend. Nii-san doesn't have many friends. It figures your just here to help with research." Alphonse frowns. "That seems to be all he ever does lately."

"Well, I just started, so you can't be sure whether your brother and I'll be friends or not," Rana smiled faintly, trying to cheer up the boy. "And don't worry, I'll make sure the Colonel doesn't overwork himself."

"You're right!" Alphonse smiled, "Most people don't get along with my brother because they either think he's mean or weird, but he's not!" The boy stood up eagerly, as though trying to prove both to Rana and Neko that his brother was what make the sun shine in the morning. He through his hands in the air enthusiastically. "Nii-san's actually really, really nice and smart. Just because he likes to read and stuff like that doesn't mean he's weird. He likes people alot and wants to make friends, but he just acts rude because he's actually really shy.." Alphonse beamed, "If you guys know that's he's not really mean or weird then you'll be friends with him right? Nii-san needs more friends his age. Then maybe he'd lighteen up a bit, but most people his age don't want to be around him because he's in the military and he has auto--" He paused and looked down. "Automail...it really gets me mad when people won't talk to him because of that." He sqoze his fists tight. "It's so frustrating..."
