Rated- T just to be safe and for some language. (Ed's mouth)

Summary-Terrali is new to the military and is just getting to know people. All though she is very good at using alchemy, Roy and the Fuhrer agreed to partner Ed and Al up with Terrali, also known as the "Crimson Alchemist", just to be safe.The only problems she has is her temper. And Ed and Al have their ownhave their own problems. And on top of that, they've got a mission that appears to be way over their heads. Specifically Ed's. Even the military has problems controlling it...

Disclaimer- I do NOT own Fullmetal Alchemist nor any of its characters. Well, in my dreams I do, but that's beside the point. But, what I DO own is most of the plot and Terra.

Prologue

Ed walked down an empty corridor, down to the room where he usually picked up his reports. Normally, the hallway was occupied by three officers, two of which often were up to something. But today, it was empty and quiet. Ed walked up to the door, pressing his ear to it.

"We should raise the price," Ed heard Havoc say.

"Or… If we're more reasonable, we could always get some more officers in…" Breda said.

"We need to keep the numbers reasonable," Havoc said.

"Or we could just get Ed or Hawkeye to join…" Breda said. "He might go for it…"

"Oh, c'mon, you know neither of them would consider it for a second… And you forget what we're betting on."

"You know," Fury reasoned, "we really should do this later when nobody's around. If we were to get caught--"

At that, Ed walked in the door. "Okay, I've heard enough… What's the bet?"

Fury shot Havoc a look that plainly said, I told you so.

"Uh… We were just--" Breda started.

"No, no. I heard it. You can't get outta this one." Ed smirked.

"Okay, fine. But as soon as we tell you, you have to agree to get in on it," Havoc sighed.

"Hmm… Does it involve completely humiliating Roy?" Ed asked.

"In a sense," Breda said.

"I'm in," Ed immediately said, pulling out his wallet.

Havoc, Breda, and Fury all stared at each other in complete amazement.

"Seventy-five," Havoc quickly said.

"Seventy-five!" Ed asked, surprised. "How many people are in on this?"

"Oh, just us," Havoc said smugly, "and one hundred and sixty-two other officers from central."

Ed gaped at him. "Jeez! What the heck are you guys betting on?"

"Well, everyone else had to pay one fifty. But you're paying half price since we're only letting you in on one." Breda laughed at his expression.

"And it has to do with Roy and…" Havoc started.

"…Riza," Fury finished. He didn't quite believe that Ed was actually in on a bet. That would be the last thing he expected from him.

"AHA!" Ed yelled, making the three officers jump. Oh, I see where his is going," Fury, Havoc and Breda looked at him nervously, "and I'm in," he said, handing Havoc seventy-five dollars and grabbing his papers. "Who's going to follow them?"

"No one has volunteered yet…" Havoc said. "They're all afraid to get caught by the Colonel."

"Then how do you expect to get results?" Ed asked a bit angrily.

"Well, Hughes is coming down tomorrow for something. He, as you know from his pictures of Elysia, is an expert at photography. We're going to try to get him in on it."

"Oh, great…" Ed sighed. "Do you really think he would do that?"

"Of all the things that he does, yes," Breda said.

"True…" Ed said, walking out towards the dorm. "I'll see you three tomorrow, then."

When Ed was halfway down the hallway, Havoc carefully closed the door. "He'll never guess the second half…" he laughed. "Sure, Ed looks like he hates the Colonel, when he shoots all those insults at him, but hey, you can't ever be too sure. But with the way Roy looks after him, something's bound to happen soon enough." Fury flushed, and Breda roared with laughter.

"You're kidding, right?" Breda asked.

"Like I said, you can't ever be too sure…" Havoc replied.

Okie… There you have it. This counted as a chapter. Review and I'll update. Sorry this chapter was so short. That's how they're going to be for a while… School. I'll start on the other one after I finish my project, so it should be up in a couple hours, if not thirty minutes.
