The sequel to 'Penny Savers'. Just as clarification, the whole mess started when Envy went diving. He found a penny and went up to the surface but dropped the penny. Ed was underwater and saw it and resurfaced. Envy, realizing his penny was gone automatically blamed Ed since he was the only other person under water at that time. hope this one is as good as 'Penny Savers', now the opposite, 'Penny Killers'!

Al ran inside the Elric mansion and up the stairs to his father's study.
"Hey Dad guess what!" he yelled breathlessly. Hohenheim turned around in his chair and caught Al.
"What's got you all excited?" Hohenheim asked. Al held out the penny.
"It's a 1919 penny! This is the last one you needed!" he exclaimed. Mr. Elric chuckled.
"You're right! How about you put this in the album for me?" he asked. Al nodded and ran into the corridor.
Envy and Ed paused in their fight to look up at their father's study. They could see Al holding something out to their dad and both automatically assumed the worst. The two boys exchanged glances.
"He stole our penny," Envy observed coolly.
"He's going down!" Ed yelled and the boys flew out of the pool and into the house.
They collided with Al as he was going down the stairs. Hohenheim heard the crash and quickly followed Al. The hallway was a mess. Vases were lying on the ground and flowers were strewn everywhere. Tables had been over-turned and wet footprints decorated the floor. A wail shattered the silence. Al came running down the hall, a soaking and angry looking Envy and Ed at his heels.
"DADDY!" Al yelled. The twins chased Al up the stairs where Al hid behind Hoheheim. Ed and Envy followed Al and promptly ran around in circles around Hohemheim, trying to rescuse the penny. The trio went up the stairs, breaking a few vases as they flew around through interconnecting bedrooms and bathrooms. Envy grabbed a toothbrush and hurled it at Al. It bouced off a light, breaking it and exposing the light bulb. Ed picked up a pencil case and started shooting the pencils like darts at his little brother. All the pencils missed, richocheting off the walls and hitting random objects, along with putting multicoloured spots on the walls.
"Boys stop this immediately!" Hohemheim yelled. Al stopped running and glanced at the penny. His eyes opened wide as Envy and Ed tackled the poor boy to the ground.
"You're going to pay for stealing our penny!" Ed yelled.
"You're not only going to give us that penny, but you'll pay us a dollar for all the trouble you've caused!" Envy yelled, his mathematical mind kicking in.
"Guys," Al said, his voice muffled by the bodies on top of him.
"What do you want Tin Can?" Envy growled. Al stuck his arm in the air.
"The penny kinda corroded," he said quietly. He opened his fist and a pile of copper dust fell to the ground. Envy and Ed stared at the dead penny with wide eyes. They exchanged glances- again.
"There are more pennies in the pool," Hohemheim said consolingly. The two older boys blinked as their father's words sank in.
"OH SHIT!!" they yelled and ran to the pool. They dove into the pool simultaneously. Al wandered outside and sat on a chair as Envy resurfaced.
"I got one!" he yelled and the penny corroded. "Damn!" and dove back under.
"I got one... Never mind," Ed said sadly and dunked his hand in the salt water to rid it of penny dust.
"Muhahah- hack!" Envy coughed as a pile of pennies mixed with salt scooped from the bottom of the pool turned to dust. Ed resurfaced.
"No more pennies," he said sadly. Envy went chibi and tears filled his eyes.
"No..." he wailed.
"THE PENNIES DIED!!" the twins wailed and ran to their father and envelopped him in a hug, causing his clothes to become soaked.
"Some penny killers they are," Al muttered and turned back to his book.
