Your POV:

I was sitting on the train with Ed and Al.

'Should I tell them that Envy kissed me?' I ask myself.

I look around. We are on the way to North City to look for that girl. Turns out we will also have to go further than that to see a General that is nicknamed "The Northern Wall of Briggs".

I saw that it was starting to snow. I smile at that. I remember it snowing one time that we missed school. My mother, father, and I played in the snow. That was many years ago though.

*later*

Ed hopped off the train first and gave his ticket. Then Al did. Then I did. We ran out and there was snow.

"Look there's snow!" Ed exclaimed.
"It's beautiful!" I said.

We looked around at the snow covered city. We started running down the steps of the Train Station in North City. Ed then slipped on the ice and fell down the stairs.

"Brother!" Al said.

Ed growled a bit and got up. We  then sat on the bench.

"Ed. You were so uncoordinated." Al said.
"It was a little slip, jeez." Ed replied.
"All this snow is amazing huh?"

I look at them.

"Yeah! It is!" I said cheerfully.
"Yeah. We don't get that much snow back at home. Oh yeah! Hey Al, do you remember that really heavy snow we had when we were little?" Ed asked cheerfully.
"Maybe. Oh yeah I remember! We had a snowball fight!" Al exclaimed.

I smile.

"And we built a snowman!" Ed replied.
"Yeah! I never imagined we would come this far North. It seemed impossible." Al said.
"Yeah. But here we are now." Ed said.

We looked around at the snow. I wonder what we're going to do right now. At least Envy isn't here. I'm glad for that.

"So, now what do we do? We still have a little time before our train to Briggs takes off." Ed said.
"Why don't you both grab something to eat." Al questions.
"Eh. I don't know. I'm not really all that hungry. But, I guess we could look."

Ed, Al, and I start running.

"Brother! Be careful or you're gonna fall again!" Al screamed.
"Shut up!" Ed replied.
"Ed seriously. You don't want both legs made of metal!" I exclaim.
"(y/n) SHUT UP!"

We still ran. We started wandering around North City. It was beautiful. Snow is something rare where I used to live. We looked around for a place to eat. Ed and Al seemed to be enjoying themselves. That's good. I still can't help but feel sad about my parents. If only they could see this.

"Mom. Dad. If only you could see this." I mumbled.
"(y/n), what was that?" Ed asked.
"Oh nothing."

*next day*

Ed let out a big sneeze. We were riding on the back of a cart to Briggs.

"Are you catching a cold?" I asked Edward.
"Well I'm cold alright. That's Briggs for you right?" Ed replied.
"Alright this is where I let you go guys." The man driving said.

We gave a confusing look. Why was this guy dropping us so low on the mountain?

"If you follow this mountain road, it'll lead you straight to Fort Briggs." The man said.
"Kay. Thanks." Ed replied.
"And you in the armor? Yes you. Is that automail?"
"No." Al said.
