Jacqueline paced outside the barracks where most of the soldiers (including herself) lived. Her pale blue eyes wandered over to the outermost wall of the army camp and the city beyond. Deepest longing filled her eyes as she silently wished for a freedom that never came. She cast a glare at the dogtag she had clutched in her palm. If she hadn't been betrayed, she would've never even been in the military and things would be much better. She was still quite bitter about that incident that took place on that very day two years ago, 'what an anniversary' she thought coldly to herself, a smirk lifting onto her lips as she let go of the dog tag and walked around the army base. She was currently off duty and could venture anywhere on the base, but if she tried to get into the city, she'd be right back in jail again. 'At least this is somewhat better then that cell,' she thought, sighing as she sat down on the front steps of the main army building where all the offices were. She was certain to glared at anyone and everyone who passed by, though she had a somewhat high military rank, first Lt. under the flame alchemist colonel mustang, she did not act with any of the dignity or authority of her position. If one thing was for sure about this military dog nicknamed Lightning, her bark was not as near worse then her bite.

Sora watched Lyra with curiosity. She didn't look like a typical military person. It was probably just the way she carried herself. She didn't think on it for too long. She walked towards a boy with a blonde braid who was standing somewhat near Lyra. He wore a red robe-ish thing and all black under that. She wondered if he was ready for a short battle. They happened every once in awhile.
"Hey, Ed!" she called as she walked towards him. "Hm?" he had a skeptical look that seemed to be hiding a smile. "How about a round of 'transmute the grass'?" "Sure, why not?"

Jax sighed in annoyance, she was quite bored, with a short attention span that wasn't always the best combination. Her attention snapped back when she heard a loud barking and a few yells from the other side of the base where the k9 unit was. Jacqueline smirked and yelled, "Come here Sparx!" Another loud bark sounded and a gigantic dog was seen running toward Jackie happily wagging it's tail. Jax smirked wider as the dog knocked her over as it leaped at her to lick her face. "Alright alright! You stupid dog get off!" she yelled at the huge wolf dog. The dog got off and sat next to her as Jax smiled and grabbed Sparx by his thick leather collar. She also smiled at the chaos he had caused, trash cans lay knocked over, there contents spilled on the pavement, and junk scattered everywhere, and of course a few disgruntled handlers. Because of his wild nature Sparx was extremely hard to control, not to mention he was huge, and it was quite remarkable that he and Jakie had bonded like they did. Now she was the only one on base who could manage him and keep him under control. Jax watched the short blonde kid and the other girl from her spot a good distance away and she felt Sparx tensing as he felt the need to run over and scare the two people, but Jax's grip tightened on the collar as she spoke quietly in what sounded like German and the dog calmed immediately and laid down next to Jackie. Sparx intently watched the two people talk, amber orbs fixed in an eerie stare when finally one of the disgruntled handlers came over to take him back to the K9 compound. He hooked a leash onto the dog's collar and tried to lead him back but Sparx ran off, making the handler let go of the leash. Sparx ran over and tackled the blonde boy eagerly licking his face. Jackie sighed and shook her head and walked over, "It's alright he won't hurt you, Sparx get over here. Sorry, stupid idiot doesn't know how to handle this mutt," Jacqueline said to the blonde boy and the girl as Sparx got up off of Ed's chest. She glanced back at the handler who finally gave up and sulked off.

Sora giggled, and Ed blushed.
"What of it?" he asked, half glaring, half blushing. "You're so short, even a dog can control you." "Not like your height's something to brag about!" "I'm an inch taller than you," said Sora before sticking out her tongue. "Well, at least something other than a dog would kiss me!" "What would that be?" "You!" "You're so full of it!" Sora said, blushing furiously and looking away quickly.

Jacqueline just kinda stood there and blinked, holding Sparx with the leash, "yea, sorry that this tub of lard cause you two to start fighting," she said again, glaring down at the big chubby dog who at the drop of a hat had fallen asleep.

"Well, it was Miss 'I'm-An-Inch-Taller-Than-You' that started it," Ed stated with a smug look. "It's not my fault --"
A cough was heard from behind. Sora looked over and saw none other than Roy Mustang. She was half-tempted to kick him, but she resisted this urge. He stared at the sleeping dog.

Jax turned around to see the colonel and glared, pretty much resisting the same urge as Sora to kick him. The dog woke up and looked up at mustang and gave a snort and showed the Colonel a few teeth as it growled a bit. Looked like dog and trainer thought alot alike. "What is going on here?" the colonel asked. Jaqueline didn't answer, she just kept glaring at him, even though in rank she was to supposed to respect him, it didn't matter to Jackie at all

"Sorry," said Ed. "It's my fault. I provoked the dog, and it attacked me."
This was quite uncharacteristic of Ed, and Sora blinked.

Jacqueline turned and looked at Ed and raised an eyebrow, 'Why did he take the blame? If it's anybody's fault it's either mine or Sparx's,' she thought to herself. The Colonel simply nodded, "Well now you know never to provoke one of the military's attack dogs, it was a foolish thing to do, especially with this one, he'll probably kill you if he got the chance. And I also hold the dog's trainer to blame for not holding back the dog more efficiently...." Mustang said glaring back at Jackie and sparx befroe walking off. Jacqueline glared more fiercely and made a stupid face at mustang when his back was turned.

Sora was still staring at Ed, wondering why he took the blame. He looked away, his face slightly pink. Maybe he had a crush on Colonel Mustang. Sora smiled at this thought, but that probably wasn't it. There was another thought in the back of her mind, but it seemed just as impossible.
There were many things Sora wanted to say at this moment, but the only thing that came out was,
"Sorry."
That wasn't one of the things she wanted to say, and half of her wondered why she said it. Ed said, in a very muffled tone,
"Don't worry about it..." "Anyway," said Sora, a bit louder than she meant to, "Let's play 'transmute the grass'!"
Sora transmuted a patch of grass into a green spider. She put it in Ed's hair, trying to get the serious expression off of his face.

Jacqueline walked off toward the soldier barracks with Sparx and sighed, lighting up a cigarette that she had in her pocket, even though she wasn't really allowed to have anything like tobacco or alcohol because of her bad nature. She blew out a smoke ring as she leaned against her barrack where she had taken residence with Sparx. She sighed heavily, still quite pissed at Mustang, exactly why? She had no idea.

Sora noticed that Lyra was gone, but figured she wanted to be alone, so she didn't say anything. Ed didn't say anything, either. He just sat up and stared into the distance. Sora kicked his side.
He didn't say anything, but he was being very obvious about the smile he was trying to hold back. Sora patted his head and left him alone. She figured this was how he wanted to be. Not that she cared. No. He was just a stupid little boy. Why should she care?
She did wonder where Al was. It was unusual not to see him with Ed. She walked away from the military building, not sure what drew her to it in the first place. She walked towards a lake. When she got to it, she transmuted a tree into a raft and let it drift with the power of the wind.

Jackie cursed under her breath, holding her head as a pounding headache started. She emitted smoke from her nostrils as she sighed heavily, flopping down next to her faithful canine and laid her head on Sparx's fluffy body. "He gets me so angry sometimes..." she said to the dog, referring to the colonel, "He's so pompous, he think he owns the world or at least rules the army, I can't stand him. And not to mention he treats me like i'm a criminal still, i swear if anything bad happened on base i'd be the first he'd blame for it," she said to Sparx though he had fallen asleep again, but hey it was someone to talk to. Jacqueline sighed, putting out the cigarette and just glaring at the sky.

Sora didn't drift too far before she saw Al. He was on the other side of the lake, sitting and thinking. She silently wondered if that's what everyone was doing at the moment. Everyone needed some time to themselves to think. She wondered if Al desired a talk. He did look a bit lonely. She paddled over to him with the slinky she had transmuted into a metal two-way paddle.
"You okay?" she asked, because this was a question she asked anyone who looked as if they'd been thinking a lot. "Yes. I'm okay, but Ed's been acting really weird lately. He called me a few things I'd rather not repeat, just because I mentioned...Never mind."

"Tch, and if anyone was attacked by a dog and seriously hurt on base he'd go right for you and somehoe find a way to cast the blame on you," Jackie said smirking slightly as Sparx raised his head in question. "And yanno why? Cause we're different, that's why. Look at you, you're part wolf and a stray found wandered the park. And me, an ex-pickpocket........we're both stray picked up off the streets, and what may seem like flaws to the Colonel make us easy scapegoats my friend," she said shutting her eyes, "yup, we were made to take the blame."
