The car pulled up in front of the house, all four doors opening. Edward, Winry, Christopher and Alphonse all climbed out of the car, the two boys running up onto the lawn. Alice ran over to Edward, giving him a giant bear hug. Edward laughed,
''Hey there,''
She let go of him and tucked a peice of hair behind her pierced ear,
''Hi Uncle Edward, Hi Aunt Winry,''
Winry smiled.
''Hi Alice,''
Melody walked down from the front porch to greet both Ed and Winry. She hugged him, and Winry as smiled down at Alice.
''Why don't you go make some coffee,''
Alice nodded and ran off. When she was gone, Edward spoke up,
''Mel,-''
''Don't Edward,''
Edward shook his head,
''Melody, you have to tell, her, we have to tell her. She's ten years old, and she has a right to know about Alphonse.''
Melody turned back towards the house,
''I don't know..''
Edward nodded,
''I do.''
Melody let out a deep sigh, and nodded as well,
''Come in.''
Inside the house, everyone, including Alice, sat around the kitchen table. It was quiet for a long period of time, before Alice spoke up, unable to withstand the silence.
''Why am I here?''
She said looking around at everyone. Melody put down her coffee,
''Honey, we need to talk about something. It's really important, and we need you to understand that we love you no matter what, ok?''
Alice nodded, suddenly regretting the question. Edward looked at her.
''Alice..Jack, is not your dad, and he's not my brother.''
Alice looked at Jack,
''Your not?''
He shook his head,
''Afraid not,''
She looked at Melody, tears stinging her eyes,
''And your not my mom?''
Melody nodded,
''I am your mom, but Susie isn't your whole sister,''
Alice shook her head,
''But why?''
Edward took a deep breath,
''Alice...my brother, your dad, was killed when you were born.''
A tear strolled down her pale cheek,
''What happened?''
Winry looked at Ed, who was having somewhat of a hard time bringing this up,
''He was killed in the war,''
Alice stood up,
''Why didn't you tell me?''
''You weren't old enough, honey..''
Melody said, tears in her eyes as well,
''But you all lied to me!''
Edward nodded,
''Yes, and we're sorry for that,''
Alice shook her head,
''Your unbelievable!''
She bolted from the table, and ran upstairs. Melody stood up,
''Alice!''
Edward shook his head,
''Let her go,''
Melody nodded, sitting back down.
Upstairs, Alice began to slam things, breaking some. She walked over to her closet, pulling out a backpack. She stuffed a bundle of clothing,
and some candy she had been sneaking. She took her piggy bank and smashed it on the floor. Ignoring the cuts on her hand, she grabbed the little money she had, stuffing it in her pockets as well. She walked over to the window in her bedroom, and opened it. She took one last look at the room before climbing out the window.
''Hey there,''
She let go of him and tucked a peice of hair behind her pierced ear,
''Hi Uncle Edward, Hi Aunt Winry,''
Winry smiled.
''Hi Alice,''
Melody walked down from the front porch to greet both Ed and Winry. She hugged him, and Winry as smiled down at Alice.
