Ch. 1: Starting Anew

The sun beat down hard on the two travelers walking down the dirt road beneath it. Never in all of young Edward Elrics life had he been this hot before. It felt worse now that he had his arm and leg back as flesh and blood, for now there wasn't any cool metal he could put against his skin. He felt bad for his brother Alphonse more though, because now he had to deal with this heat also. His pity soon became irritation as he saw the grin on his brothers' face.

"Al…how could you possibly be happy with as hot as it is," Edward sighed. This woke his brother out of his daydreams.

"Oh sorry brother, I'm just happy to finally be able to feel this kind of heat. The only time it was ever this hot was when we were in the desert, and I had my metal body," to Edwards discontent he saw his brothers grin return.

"But now I can feel it, the burning of the sun…I can feel what you did before brother…its great!" Alphonse said happily with sparkles in his eyes, reminding Edward somewhat of Lt. Armstrong.

Edward just sighed and kept walking letting his little brother continue his daydreams, thinking it helped him ignore how hot it really was.


They walked about another couple of miles before Ed's frustration finally got the better of him. He fell against a tree with a large "thud" and sighed heavily. He looked back at the road he had just crossed and then looked at the long ways that they still had to go.

He sighed again going over his new mission in his head. Though he was taking this time to relax, he still wanted to keep his new mission in his mind. Alphonse sat down next to him and dragged his him out of his thoughts.

"Brother…where are we heading off to again?' Alphonse asked as he hugged his knees to his chest, resting his head on top of them.

Edward sighed again, looking up at the sky before closing his eyes, "I told you Al, Envy was sighted in some place called Konoha. It's called the Village of Tree and Leaves, so that's where we're heading."

A while passed before Alphonse finally spoke up again. "Do you really think we'll be able to find Envy there brother?"

"I don't know Al…but I hope so. With all the other Homunculi dead, all we need to do is finish off Envy and this whole nightmare can end once and for all."

Ed clenched his fists and looked down at the ground, glaring as he thought of the long haired homunculus who bared a strong resemblance to his father. "I'm looking forward to fixing Hoenheims mistake."

Alphonse stared at his brother slightly before standing up and holding his hand out to his older brother. "Come on brother….lets go," he said, his grin returning.

Edward just smiled taking his brothers hand, helping himself up. Once again they started down their trail, Edwards strength seemingly back to normal. Edward grinned to himself as he took notice of the new clouds blocking out the heavy sun. His good mood leaving almost instantly though at his brothers next words.

"You know brother…Winry would be so disappointed to see her boyfriend acting so small and weak," Alphonse said laughing loudly as he ran ahead, hearing his brothers screams of rage behind him.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FLEA SO SMALL YOU CAN'T SEE IT WITHOUT STEPPING ON IT FIRST?" Ed yelled, shaking his fists in the air as he chased his brother down. "AL! GET BACK HERE!"

They ran down the trail as fast as they could, not knowing that what they were heading to, or who they would meet on the way.


Johnny: -grins widely- well thats my first chapter...what do you guys think.

Edward: -glares- WHO YOU CALLING SMALL YOU JERK!

Johnny: -closes eyes as i cross my arms stubbornly- i didnt say that...Alphonse did remember

Edward: ALPHONSE!

Alphonse: Uh oh! -runs off-

Edward: GET BACK HERE! -chases after Al-

Johnny: O well...everybody please review...bye -smiles and runs after Ed and Al-
