"Uhm...who are you?" Kayla asked. "Oh, my name is Maes Hughes! It's nice to meet you!" "Uh...yeah. Sure." "Would you like to see pictures of my daughter!? What am I talking about...of course you would!" He said, pulling out a hand full of pictures from his pocket, "Her name is Elycia! Isn't she just adorable!" Kayla glared at Hughes and his pictures for a moment, but then grinned widely. "Awww! Yes, she is very cute! I wish I had a little sister exactly like her!" She said, looking through all of his pictures. Hughes smiled, "You should come over and meet her! I'm sure she'd enjoy your company!" Just then Ed and Al walked over. "I guess we're too late. I can see he's already gotten to you, armed with his family photos. " Ed said, sitting down to the right of her, and Al sitting to the left. "I didn't quite catch your name. What did you say it was?" Hughes asked. "Well, I didn't say. But it's Kayla." "Oh, okay, Kayla! So...are you the sprouts girlfriend or something?" Kayla nearly choked on the air she was breathing, as so did Ed. Al was laughing. "NEVER!" Ed and her said in unison. "Whatever you say. I've got to get going, But you should come visit my daughter soon!" Hughes said, getting up and walking away. Al handed Kayla her tray of food, she smiled at him and then looked down, with her fork she began to move her food around the plate. "Are you okay, Kayla?" Al asked. She couldn't quite tell, but his voice made him sound a little worried. She smiled, "Yes. I'm fine." Kayla looked over to Ed and saw he was stuffing his face with food. She blinked, and then poked him in the arm. "Poke." Ed looked at her like she was mentally deranged. "What the h*ll?" Kayla laughed and then shrugged.
Kayla noticed a girl with brownish colored hair up in a clip, like hers, walked up to their table. "Hey Ed, Hey Al!" She said joyfully. The girl looked to Kayla, "I-I'm sorry. I'm...not sure if I know you."
"Kayla Namine. Nice to meet you." "Uhh...hi. I'm Riylee Timiapay." Kayla smiled, then Riylee did the same.
Kayla got up from her seat and began to walk away. "HEY! Where are you going!?" Ed said. "Oh, you're right. Where's your dorm?" She said, turning around, knowing where she was going...but not how to get there. "What?" "I'm not hungry. So I wanna go get some rest! So where's you're room!?" Kayla began to get irritated. "What do you mean you're not hungry? You were starving a few minutes ago!" "And how do you know that!?" "Because I heard your stomach!" "Arghh...just...SHUT UP and tell me where your room is!!" Ed smirked, "Uhh...no." "Why you little-" Kayla began to walk over to him, like she was going to strangle him, but Ed began throwing a yelling fit. "I AM NOT SHORT DON'T SAY LITTLE! YOU'RE SHORTER THAN ME!" Al and Riylee sweat dropped, as Ed and Kayla were attracting attention to themselves. "K-Kayla! It's room 212!" Al said. Kayla smiled, "Thank you, Al!", and turned around walking out the door.
Ed mumbled something to his self and then began to eat his food. Riylee sat across from the two Elric's. "Who was that girl?" she asked. "Brother has to prepare her from the state alchemy exam." Al answered. "She's an alchemist?" "Surprisingly, I guess, yeah." Ed said, taking a small break from eating and then stuffing his face again.
