Hey people, this is my first FanFiction on here! I hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer- I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist what-so-ever, but it would be so cool if I did. All rights go to the fabulous Hiromu Arakawa and her awesome creativeness and beautiful drawings.
Summery- Ed and Al are off to another mission, but after a horrible mishap, Ed's stuck in the hospital. With only a couple of days before his birthday, Al tries his best to cheer up his hospitalized brother. When they get back to Central though, they notice some disturbing differences with the blond.
Time period- Somewhere after the "Barry the Chopper" episode. Although, Ed's back to 15-years-old in this one, not 12. Does that make sense?
"That's not fair and you know it isn't!" Ed yelled at his superior, who was casually sitting in his chair with his chin resting upon his folded hands.
"I don't make the orders, Fullmetal, I just distribute them." Mustang said from his chair, receiving a loud groan from the teen.
"But why do I have to do it? It's not like it's all that important anyway." Ed complained, huffing at the end and crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Mustang rolled his eyes and sighed. "I'm pretty sure people going missing is important." He said. It was Ed's turn to roll his eyes.
"I know that! I meant it's not important to my research." Ed told him, his tone full of sarcasm.
"You should learn how to respect your superiors more, Fullmetal. I plan on becoming Furher one day. You'll be forced to show me respect." Roy pointed out, making Ed moan.
"I surely hope not. I'll leave Amestris if that happens." The blond alchemist said, but he eventually smiled and showed that the conversation was fun to him.
He eventually threw his hands in the air with an exaggerated sigh. "Fine! I'll go on the freakin' assignment! But you'll owe me one, Mustang."
Mustang smirked then feigned surprise. "Me? Owe you? For what?" he asked and Ed just turned around and started walking to the door. "For making me stop what I'm doing and going to do your work." Ed told him.
With that said, Ed walked out the room with a wave of his hand.
Mustang stared at the door for a little while longer before snapping his attention back to his ringing phone. He picked up the receiver and placed it to his ear.
"Hello?" He asked, a little annoyed at the sudden disturbance in his thoughts.
"Hey there, Roy! Nice hearin' from ya!" Hughes' cheery voice came from the other end.
"Hughes, what is it this time? I'm kinda busy right now." Roy said, eyeing the pile of paperwork stacked on his desk.
"I just wanted to say… It's my darling Elycia's birthday here soon! I just wanted to know what you're getting her. She's growing up so quickly! She's turning Four soon!" You could hear the smiles in Hughes' voice.
"Hughes. I know that's a very good thing but," Roy paused, suddenly annoyed and was about to blow the phone up. "If you call me in the middle of work to talk about your daughter one more time, I might end up sending the office to a fiery doom!"
Hughes suddenly turned serious. "Jeez, I just wanted to tell you that. You didn't have to get all mean about it. Anyway, I actually did want to tell you something about the case you're working on."
"Which one? I'm currently working on about three."
"The one where there have been six teens kidnapped."
"Yeah, what about it?"
"There's been another one taken. But this time, she didn't fit the pattern."
Roy was interested then. "What do you mean? What part didn't she fit?"
"I don't know exactly, it's just that she didn't have the same layout as the others. For one, she was well…"
What he told Roy next shocked them both into silence. "Oh crap!" Roy yelled, suddenly remembering something important.
"Roy? What is it?" Hughes had no idea what was going on.
"Sorry Hughes. I have to go!"
"Roy, wai-" He was cut off due to Roy slamming the receiver back to its place.
He quickly got up and slipped his coat on, rushing to the door. He opened it quickly and was greeted by several surprised faces.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Lt. Hawkeye asked as Mustang brushed past her. Roy stopped in his tracks then turned and grabbed the blonde's wrist and started dragging her with him.
She was startled at first then quickly grasped the idea she had to follow him. "Where are we going, Sir?" she asked, walking quickly behind the raven-haired man.
Without looking back at her he said, "To the nearest train station. We need to catch Fullmetal."
Hawkeye nodded and ran in front of him a little to open the passenger-side of the military vehicle. "What has he done now?" She asked, slipping into the drivers seat.
"It's not what he's done," Roy said and looked at her before looking back to the road. "It's about what he's about to do."
With that said, the two sped off to the nearest train station before any trains left.
The two boys just about to board the train didn't realize it then, but their lives were about to get even more complicated then they were before.
So, that was the first chapter. Hope ya guys liked it. I'm horrible at building up suspense. All will be revealed soon. As for what Hughes told Roy, well that's a secret. See you guys soon. Remember, criticism is welcome!
