The pot was sizzling and bubbling over with hot water. Ling had finished with his ball of dough and was now carefully stirring the sliced noodles inside. He took in a deep breath. "Mm... smells good!"
Then he grabbed some lettuce and began furiously chopping. Once he finished with that, pork was next. Then he gathered the pork and dumped it into the pot.
-fifteen minutes later-
Ling deemed the soup ready for the vegetables. He dumped the lettuce in, stirred it a couple of times as he waited for the vegetables to soften, then turned off the stove to let the food simmer.
-five minutes later-
Ling dished out the noodles in two separate bowls, zoomed around the dining table to set the places, and shouted outside to the front yard," DINNER'S READY!!"
Happily he re-entered the dining room through the kitchen, snagged some chopsticks, and waited inside for Emily.
(I have just committed a dire error against cooks.. the meat was supposed to be cooked first before the noodles, but I forgot about that xD)

( heh lol..)
Emily got up and wiped some dirt off of her skirt and walked into her home, closing the door behind her and walked into the kitchen and she said "Wow..this is very impressive."she said as she smiled "Let me guess, food from your country?"she asked

"Yep!" Ling said. "I watched my mom cook it before, but she never actually taught me.." his voice trailed off and he grinned sheepishly. "Actually, I wasn't going to tell you before in case you accidentally died of food poisoning, but this was my first time attempting to cook this meal.."

Emily laughed "I wont die from Food poisoning!"she said and she said "I had to learn to cook by myself, I...I never really had a mother...nor a father."she said and she smiled a bit "I've been a orphan since I was a child...age of 4 I think.."she said

"Orphan?" Ling asked. "How did that happen?"
The truth was, he was used to being surrounded by his family, even if they weren't always warm towards him..

Emily sighed and she then said "My father murdered my Mother and baby brother..then I was almost killed.. I was 4 years old..then I ran away, the police killed my father and I am all alone..till now."she said

Ling's face fell. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.." He reached over and awkwardly pat her on the shoulder. "Is this why you decided to become a state alchemist then?"

Ling nodded mutely. He was glad he was with someone as kind-hearted as Emily, and he wondered if there was anything else he could do for her besides.. cook and feed her pets. And no, cleaning the house didn't count.
However, he decided to do as she wished and began eating.

Soon Emily was done and she said "Wow! that was amazingly cooked!"she said and she smiled at Ling "Thank you!" and she got up and got her dish and rolled up her sleeves, put her hair up in a sloppy bun and began to clean the dishes as she kitten on the counter top watched and he mewed.

Seeing that Emily had started to clean up the dishes, Ling slurped down the rest of his noodles and hurried to help her. "No, let me do it," he insisted.

"No It's ok, I got it."said Emily with a smile and got this got and brought it to the sink and started cleaning it too, she started to hum abit as she washed the dishes then accidently got water on the cat. half of the cat's face turned blue as it twitched and Emily said "Uh...sorry.."and she got a towel and set it by the cat, it started rubbing against the towel, drying itself, yup. It hated water.

Ling chuckled. "Here, while you wipe up the cat, I'll do the dishes. And I insist."
He shoved her to one side with his hips and began furiously working on the dishes. At the same time, he smirked to himself. If only his family could see him now.. they would have a fit at him doing a servant's job, but he didn't care.

Ling eyed Emily and the kitten out of the corner of his eye and began laughing too at the sight. He laughed so much he almost dropped the plate he was holding and had to fling his arms everywhere to catch the plate before it crashed and smashed into smithereens.
All of a sudden, Ling thought he saw something outside. "Come out with me to investigate?" he asked as he took Emily's hand. "We can bring Kondo with us if you want!"

Ling grinned. "All right, let's go then!"
He led Emily out onto the streets and began looking everywhere for the flash of red he had seen. After a few moments of futile searching, he gave up. "Looks like it disappeared.."
Ling ran a hand through his hair. "Since we're outside already, want to show me the perks of this town?"

"Ok"said Emily as she led Ling onto the side walk, passing by flower stores, bakery stores, automail stores and she said "Well, this is the main city part of Central.."she said soon about 30 mintues of walking around and talking about places here and there they were infront of a LARGE white building with the miltary sign on this large thingy ((I dont know what the hell it's called XD)) "This is miltary HQ, aka where I work."said Emily

Riza burst out f the military HQ, looking a bit tired. She had been working on tons of paperwork, that the lazy colonol had dumped on her. She tried her best not to let out a groan in public, trying to keep up her reputation as the perfect model for a soldier. Then she spotted Emily and Ling. "Hello there,"She let out, and waved to the two.

Emily heard a familer voice call to her and she looked to see Miss Riza Hawkeye. She smiled and waved back "Hello Hawkeye!"she called back then she said to Ling "That's Riza Hawkeye, she higher rank than me in the miltary."she sighed "Always beside that Colonel Mustang.."she said
