Just a quick side note, in this story Dante (in Lyra's body) and Father control the Homunculi. And the age order is like this (youngest to oldest): Wrath:8, Gluttony:20, Envy,Lust,Greed:21, Sloth:38, Pride:60

If you're a visual reader, then imagine the Brotherhood versions of the Homunculi except for Wrath, Sloth, and Pride ^^ (yes it's stupid to do, but I like the wrath and sloth from 2003 better and Pride just because he has an epic mustache and Selim just kinda creeps me out with his eye-shadows ^^")

I do not own any of the characters from FMA or FMA:B. Just my OC's

Enjoy!

"Children, your mother and I request all of you in the study immediately."

Father's voice echoed throughout the old mansion that was currently the new home for himself, Dante, and the homunculi. The youngest,Wrath, had discovered the secluded and abandoned building about a month ago while wondering around looking for Sloth who had fallen asleep under a tree somewhere. Dante and Father fixed up the interior, adding luxurious furniture, dazzling chandeliers and decorations, and exquisite paintings on the ceilings. Not to mention the stunning living quarters. Although they put a great effort in having only the best inside the mansion, they both agreed to leave the outside appearance the same so as not to attract attention.

The first homunculi to enter the study were Sloth and Pride. Soon followed by Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and finally Wrath. Dante counted and sighed disapprovingly.

"Where is your brother?"

"Chill out, I'm right -hick!- here."

Nonchalantly drinking out of whiskey bottle, Greed slightly swayed and stumbled over to join his siblings, which in response gained him a few giggles and smirks from his sober brothers and sisters. Dante rubbed her temples and breathed in and out slowly in an attempt to calm herself, while Father simply rolled his eyes and cleared his throat, "Now, children, your mother and I have called you in here because we have received an invitation from one of our old... friends... to attend a gala in honor of their eldest son's birthday. It will be tomorrow evening, so I suggest you pack tonight in advance. We also expect you all to be polite and have the best of manners, with absolutely NO outbreaks of excessive physical violence."

Envy placed a hand on his hip and raised an eyebrow in an almost mockingly manner, "So, you want us to wear monkey suits and a tie and act like we give a damn about a birthday party for some twerp we don't even know?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying."

"So what do you mean by we have to pack tonight?"

Dante gave a small smile and looked up at Envy, "Father forgot to mention, the palace is in France. We will be staying that night, the next day, and then returning back home the day after."

At the word France, Lust glanced up from her nails and her eyes slightly widened, "Are we going to have some downtime to enjoy ourselves during the extra day, or is it going to be like a business trip?" All the other Homunculi expressed their annoyance of business trips in their own little way at the same time; Gluttony started sucking on his finger and whimpering, Lust sighed and gave an annoyed expression, Envy groaned rolling his eyes putting both hands on his hips, Sloth's shoulders slumped as she crossed her arms, Pride simply furrowed his eyebrows, Wrath scrunched up his nose and stuck out his tongue, and Greed went crosseyed and swayed back and forth with a confused expression. Seeing their reactions made Dante and Father chuckle, and after Dante calmed herself, she smiled at Lust and said, "We realized that we've been sending all of you out on a number of missions lately, so the whole point of the extra day is for you all to get a day off and enjoy yourselves. We will be going to Bayonne, France for the gala, but during your day off you may travel anywhere in the country and you must be back by 8AM the next morning. Now go get packed. We will be leaving in an hour... and for god's sake, Greed, PUT THE WHISKEY AWAY AND GET YOUR DRUNK ASS IN THE BATH!"

Bayonne, France

The night of the gala, half an hour before

6:00PM

"Mommy, do I really have to wear this jacket? It's so itchy!"

Wrath was wearing a black jacket, a white dress shirt, a bow tie that looked somewhat like a string bow tie, but was messier with the loops hanging down. Instead of pants, he wore black shorts that ended an inch or so above his knees and white ankle socks with slip on dress shoes. Sloth was attempting to brush Wrath's tangled mass of hair, for almost an hour at this point, but he kept moving and tugging on his collar; making it almost impossible to get anything done. Sloth smiled and sat him back down and continued brushing, "Yes dear, you look very handsome in it. Now sit still while I finish combing out your hair." Sloth smoothed out Wrath's hair and straightened his bow tie and gave a smile.

"You look like a little gentleman sweetie. Now come along, it's almost time to leave."

Wrath pouted slightly as he stood up grabbing Sloth's hand. Sloth was wearing a long elegant gown, very similar to her usual dress, however, this was a few shades darker, and was strapless. She had on 2 inch, black, peep-toe heels that had a single strap on the back, and a black shawl. The two walked down the stairs of the inn they were all staying at for the time being and joined everyone in the outside as they waited for the car to arrive. Dante wore an exquisite red and white gown with a low scoop neck, long sleeves, and and full, voluminous skirt, with a number of ruffles and a red rose in her hair. Gluttony wore a black suit, white shirt and bowtie with a white handkerchief in his jacket pocket. Pride wore a dark gray suit with a slightly brown vest inside and a black tie, and of course, his black eye patch. Lust wore a sleek gray-black halter dress with a v-neck that ended at her mid abdomen, showing a bit of her cleavage and showing off her ouroboros tattoo on her collarbone. The dress also split open around her mid thigh, showing off her legs and the dark red fabric on the inside. She wore simple black 3-inch heels, and black gloves that reached the same length as her usual gloves. In addition, her hair was up in a slightly messy bun with the assistance of a large tie, but her bangs remained scattered along her face. Greed wore a blue dress shirt, a dark gray blazer, black dress pants and shoes, and a black tie. Envy wore slightly tighter black dress pants, a white collared shirt, a dark gray vest, and a black tie with a large red ouroboros sign on the front. However, his shirt had been unbuttoned, partially showing off his chest, as well as his tie being untied and he still wore his regular black headband.

Dante sighed and shook her head at the appearance of Envy, but dismissed it knowing he would just loosen his shirt and tie again once they arrived. Father, who was wearing a black suit, tie, and shoes with a gray vest inside the jacket and a white dress shirt, walked up to Dante's side and held her around the waist.

"Well, we must be going if we don't want to be late."

"Wait dear, just one more thing."

Dante pulled out a long red ribbon and used it to tie Father's long blonde hair into a messy low ponytail. "Alright, we're ready to go," Dante said as she smiled cheerfully and wrapped her arm around Fathers, "Our car should be- Ah! There it is!" A long black car pulled up and a chauffeur stepped out opening the doors and gesturing to the ladies, "Right this way mademoiselles."

After the ladies had entered the car and everyone else had gotten in, although Gluttony had required some assistance in the process, the car sped off and they arrived at the entrance of the palace as many other cars pulled up as well. When they reached the large arch entrance, Father turned around and gave all the Homunculi a serious expression, "Remember, BEST behavior... or I will give out a severe punishment to EVERYONE... understand?"

"YES FATHER."

"Yup."

"Uh-huh."

"Got it."

"Yes sir!"

"No problem."

"Yeah, yeah, we got it."

Father looked at his children and smiled, "Well, then go have some fun!"

All of the Homunculi stood there for a second in disbelief that their Father would have actually said something like that... but they quickly dismissed it and quickly entered the ballroom. However, they had no idea what was in store for them.

Preview:

"Dante, are you sure it was a good idea to bring them here? I mean this is... his palace... you're well aware that it will be hard avoiding a conflict between his seven and ours..."

"Yes my dear, but I believe that they would have to meet at some time... and this is the perfect opportunity for them to see their opposite. Besides, he has his own sin that he removed from his being, and I think it's about time we introduced her to the family.
