AUTHOR NOTE: I know that the first chaper is short, and not all that funny, but bear with me. Try out the second chapter before passing too much judgement. Please review, it fills my heart with joy.

CHAPTER 1

"Goodbye, Bastard!" Ed waved merrily, wide grin on his face. "Have fun with all your paperwork!" He started out the door, but Mustang's voice behind him made him pause.

"I cannot accept your resignation, Fullmetal."

Ed slowly turned around. Mustang had a sly look on his face, and suddenly Ed had a bad feeling. "I served my time, Mustang. You can't keep me in the military."

"Oh, but I believe I can. Have you looked closely at Section 17, Clause D?" Mustang tossed Ed a copy of the enlistment papers.

Feeling a bit of trepidation, Ed skimmed down to Section 17. When he reached Clause D, he paused and read again, more carefully. "D: Should the recruit show particular skill or ability in an area that is necessary to the military but cannot be readily replaced by another member of the military, this contract may be extended until such time as another can be trained to provide the same level of service as said soldier." After a moment, Ed's head went up, glaring at Mustang. "You Bastard!"

"I didn't write the enrollment papers, Fullmetal. However, because of your unique abilities, the Furher does not want to let you go."

"I swear I'll get you for this, Mustang!"
