CLARE'S POV

We arrive at the fifth laboratory to instantly get stuck as the front entrance... Great it's lock and guarded? Go figure.

Me (Whispering): How are we going to get in?

Ed and Al grin at each other and begin walking to the side wall. Quickly I catch up to them both to see Ed jumping on top of Al. Wait what the? Ed starts to get ready to be thrown across to the other side... Um are you both nuts?!

Me (Whispering): Are you crazy? You're going to get yourself hurt.

Ed (Whispering): Pssh I'll be fine and besides, I've done this before with Al.

Me (Whispering): But what about me? I'm going to die if I try.

Ed (Whispering): Don't worry I'll catch you.

Me (Whispering): You better because I swear if you don't...

Ed leans over to me and puts his finger on my lips.

Ed (Whispering): I'll catch you don't worry.

Heat floods to my face as I sigh giving in.nodded.

Ed (Whispering): Alrighty Al, shoot me over.

Al (Whispering): Here we go.

Ed flies over the wall... I hope he's okay. I walk over to Al knowing it was my turn.

Me (Whispering): Al how are you getting over?

Al (Whispering): You'll see.

I climb onto Al and he throws me over. I attempt not to scream at the fact that I don't see Ed anywhere as I'm falling to my death. Right when I think I was going to die I close my eyes, but someone grabs me. I open my eyes to see Ed startled a little.

Ed (Whispering): Sorry if I scared you.

Me (Whispering): Scared me. More like terrified.

He sets me down as I immediately sit on the ground.

Me(Whispering): Man I need a moment.

Al then flies over the wall, landing perfectly on his feet.

Me: You launched yourself over with alchemy didn't you?

Al: Yeah...

Me: Just be lucky no one saw you.

I walk around the main building to find an unnoticeable entrance. Eventually, I see a air vent opening so swiftly, I use my alchemy to melt off the bolts holding the vent cover. When I finish the last bolt, I let vent cover down and climbed into the vent to see if I can fit. Successfully doing so, I climb back out and look over to Ed and Al already looking at me.

Me (Loudly Whispers): Ed come on.

Ed walks to it and waits for me.

Me (Loudly Whispers): Sorry Al, you won't fit.

Al (Loudly Whispers): That's okay I can keep watch out here.

Me (Whispering): Okay.

I walk in front of the vent and quickly turned back to Al.

Me: Good luck.

He nods and I crawl in. It's tight, but thank goodness for that I'm... Small...

Me: Oh god.

Ed: What?

Me: I just admitted myself the truth.

Ed: The truth?

I gulp.

Me: That... I'm small.
