I was devastated when I found out that I was going to be separated from my parents on the train. I was nervous because I had never traveled before. When it was finally time to get on the train, my seat was number 17 in car 5. I sighed as I walked slowly down the isle, and sat down when I found my seat. I looked across the isle to see a suit a large suit of armor that looked Roman or Greek. I wasn't sure if anyone was wearing it until the head turned and looked in my direction. A blonde boy my own age started walking in my direction, and I wondered if he was going to take the seat next to me. Sure enough he did, and I noticed that he wore a single braid, that hung just below his shoulders. Our eyes met, and I noticed that his were a light brown that was almost gold.
"Where are you heading?" He asked me.
"Portland."
"Same." he paused. "I'm Edward by the way."
"Kyra," I replied.
Edward turned to look at the suit of armor.
"Alphonse, did you remember to bring our power bars along?"
"Yes," Alphonse replied in a surprisingly boyish voice.
"You know him?" I asked.
"He's my brother!"
"Oh."
"What's with the armor?" I asked.
"You probably won't understand this," Al began. "But this is kind of my body."
"You're a robot?"
"No."
Suddenly my phone fell out of my pocket, and it landed on the floor.
"I think it's broken!" I cried.
"Here," Edward placed his hand on mine in order to touch the phone. Blue sparks danced around my hand, and the phone was good as new.
"Thanks," I said, "But how did you do it?"
"A magician never reveals his secrets," he replied and winked.
I noticed a golden watch hanging from his coat pocket, and that's when I figured it out.
"Alchemy," I said.
Abruptly, the train came to a stop.
"Were here already?" I said.
"That's impossible," Edward replied.
I looked out the window to see that our car had been disconnected from the train .
"My parents are still in the other car!" I cried.
Alphonse rose from his seat.
"What do we do now brother?"
"Take my hand," Edward said to me. I did, and by the time we got outside, the rest of the train was way ahead of us.
"There's no way we'll be able to catch up," Al said.
"But we must!" I began to cry.
"Don't worry, we'll get you back to your family," Edward said. "Just stick with us."
He smiled and at that moment there seemed to be a sparkle in his golden eyes. I knew that everything was going to be okay, and I was no longer afraid. I took his hand once more, and we set off on a journey to reunite me with my family.
"Where are you heading?" He asked me.
"Portland."
"Same." he paused. "I'm Edward by the way."
"Kyra," I replied.
Edward turned to look at the suit of armor.
