Chapter 1 –

Cloaked under the light of the full moon, sat a boy with blonde hair tied into a thick braid that hung majestically behind his back. Sad golden eyes starring off into the distance, as if seeing something that others could not. His feet seemed to sway to the rhythmic hum of the ocean as he sat gingerly on the harbor. The cool sea air seemed to be the only thing that was ever able to break through his hard mask, to erase his constant smile.

'Roy… Where are you?' thought Ed as his pink lips curled into a sad smile. Blinking back tears he once again replayed the last words of his lover. The last moment they were together still clearly pictured in his mind as crisp as it had been when it occurred.

Flashback…

"Edward, please don't give me that look," said Roy his voice filled with both anguish and concern. "I won't be able to leave."

"Well then hurry back bastard colonel!" retorted Ed, his lips pressed tightly together as he refused to let a singe tear fall.

"I will don't worry," replied Roy with a chuckle. Placing his hat back on his head he bent down and kissed his beloved blonde on the cheek. "Wait for me here Ed; I'll be back before you know it." Ed jumped and embraced the older man and the man's dark midnight blue eyes softened. A smirk playing on his lips, "Besides if I leave it'll give you time to grow," teased Roy, knowing that this would set the shorter man in a fired rage,

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE CAN FIT IN A COFFEE MUG!!" exploded Ed. Roy chuckled and looked at his lover lovingly before placing a hand on his head. "Just watch… I'll grow so tall that when you come back you won't even recognize me. I'll be huge!" he mumbled before saying the last part proudly, a huge grin on his face though his eyes still shone with the same sorrow as before. Hugging the dark haired man he buried his face in his chest, "Be careful," he murmured before taking a small step back. Roy smiled.

"I love you Ed-kun. I'll come back to you I promise," replied Roy as he bent down and kissed Ed on the temple. Turning he made his way towards the train and over the roaring of the engine as the train began to take off he could see Roy mouthing the words 'I Love You.'

"Later Roy-san! Take care of yourself!" he cried trying to make sure he was heard as he pushed through the large crowd trying to have Roy in view for the longest time possible. Roy had heard and he smiled at how familiar those words had sounded.

End Flashback…

It had been two years since then, and Roy was no where to be seen. No one had heard from him for the last few months and the letters they had been sending each other had even come to a halt suddenly. Nothing could have happened to the major; after all, he was the infamous flame alchemist! His brow creased from worry and the seriousness of his face made him look more mature then he had been just moments ago. A small, but caring voice broke through his small trance.

"Brother? Are you alright?" asked Alphonse Elric. Forcing on a smile Ed turned around and faced his brother. He had grown over the past four years, his shoulders had broadened and he had a much bulkier build. Though taller than his brother, Edward didn't mind much. That was until his height was brought into it. Of course he had been jealous of his brother but he never held a grudge against him. After all he was the last part of his family. The only one who he wanted by his side, Al and Roy. The only one who had looked out for him and stayed with him through his long journey across the world, in search for the Philosopher's stone.

"Yea Al. Just thinking is all," replied Ed showing his normal happy grin as he had before.

Al frowned obviously not convinced. He knew better than to push it though and decided instead to try and coax his brother back inside where it was warm. "C'mon brother, Winry is inside and yelling at us to go back in. If we don't hurry she'll get angry." Edward jumped up, his face filled with fright.

"Yes that would be a good idea, before sh-" Edward was cut off by a shrill cry through the darkness.

"EDWARDD!! ALPHONSEE!! Get in here! Your dinner is getting cold!" cried the obviously angry voice of Winry. The brothers yelped as a chill ran down the older, but shorter brother's spine.

"Gah! Al we better hurrryyyyyy," he exclaimed as he took off towards his house.

"Wait brother! Wait up!" cried the younger brother as he hastily ran after him, trying to keep up.

When they both arrived at the door of the small house in Rosembool they opened the door to find the exasperated blond. She was wearing her tubed top and jeans, the same handkerchief across her head as she stood there wrench in hand. "What took you guys so long!?" she cried exasperated and clearly annoyed.

"S-sorry Winry, I just found brother outside a heh heh heh," replied the younger brother nervously.

"I was just outside avoiding your cooking," replied the other blonde, his lips were curved into a mischievous smirk. Winry's eyes burned with anger and her wrench came swinging down on the cocky alchemist. Alphonse winced as his brother fell hard onto the floor. Ed rubbed his head a bruise already forming as he grinned at his friend.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me Ed. I got some mail today for you," remembered Winry as she turned around and shuffled through the papers on the kitchen table. "Ah," she said taking out an envelope. It was a light brown in color and was marked with the emblem of Fuhrer Bradley. Turning she handed it to Ed with a small smile, "Here."

Ed looked curiously at the envelope before opening it. Alphonse leaned closer and both brothers read the letter.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Colonel Roy Mustang is reported as MIA. He has been missing now for half a year and we have not received any contact from the man. It is with great disappointment that we have lost such a great colonel.

Full metal; you will now to take his place as Colonel; we expect great things from you, as the praised alchemist of the people.

- Fuhrer Bradley

Roy: ...Am I dead?

Me: -snickers- maybe you are maybe your not

Ed: Ha ha you're dead! Oh wait...

Roy: At least I'm taller than you.

Ed: WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT A RAT HOUSE WOULD BE TOO BIG FOR HIM!?

-Ed and Roy yelling in the background-

Me: Uhh right... Stay tuned for more! Hope you enjoyed it!
