Autor's notes: This fic was formerly known as "Who will marry Edward Elric?"… It's about a supposed ending of the manga, Alphonse and Edward finally recovered their bodies, Father and almost all the homunculus were gone. It was my first fanfic! English isn't my mother tongue, then corrections, advice and comments are always welcome. No flames please!!

Chapter One: "What the hell am I?"
He woke up like he always did: feeling like shit. His body ached because of desk work; he'd been sitting there for, what? Ten? Eleven hours? Lieutenant Hawkeye was slave-driving him over the paper work, which he barely finished on time anyway. Today is a pretty Sunday and he didn't need to rush. Roy Mustang, the great Flame Alchemist, Hero of Ishbal war, currently 30 years-old, turned into this pathetic man. What can he do? Rank and power comes with more paper work. At least he was promoted to Brigadier General, that wasn't exactly a big deal, but his friends and loyal subordinates were under his command again.
Stepping out of bed, Roy grabbed his towel from a chair and gazed at the chaos that was his room. He always was very organized, but lately he wasn't in a mood to organize his stuff. Since the day he moved to this new house – actually a mansion - one month ago, some boxes were intact. Of course the State had been paying for him a house maid and a butler, but sincerely he didn't care this luxury. He ordered that no one can touch his stuff that was in those boxes on his bedroom… particularly, the box of memories from Ishbal war and Maes Hughes.
Maes, he remembered, always had told to him that Roy needed to get married. Maes was so happy with his wife and daughter that Roy felt a pang of envy at the thought of Maes' happiness. Trying to not get so emotional, he walked to the toilet.
"Do I need to get married?" he asked to his reflect on the mirror. "I neither have been having sex or any kind of relationship since I discovered the truth about the Fuhrer and the Father's plans… and after all I still have to deal with the Elric brothers—" Suddenly unwanted flashes of the young blonde Fullmetal came to his mind and made his manhood stir.
"Control yourself!" he yelled at his lower regions and finished to brush his teeth "One month ago it finally was over." He sighed and went to the shower "At least Alphonse recovered his body and Edward has normal limbs again." Roy started to wash his body thinking on what the Gate done to Edward.
One month ago
Yelling in front of the gate, Edward cursed that thing that calls itself "God".
"Are you kidding me?! Do I really need to sacrifice something even using the philosopher stone?" he pointed to his useless father that only grinned meekly.
"Yes, you do need," said the grinning human form "You have something that I want, plus I can turn in your human limbs and your younger brother's body… I don't have the entire day, you know..."
"But, what does my brother need to sacrifice?" Al asked puzzled.
"Something that he didn't use yet," said the God gazing amused at the short alchemist body "Besides, I will replace it for other… hum… equivalent thing, but no more questions, I need the response now."
"Something that I didn't use yet…!? Do you expect me to accept this deal? You fucking bastard, son of —"Al used his hand to close his brother's dirty mouth.
"Brother! Maybe this is the only chance that we have, please! I'm sixteen now and I don't want to be a tin can anymore" cried Al.
"My dear sons don't worry about me and everything will be fine." Hoenheinn said gesturing to them.
"Shadup!" Edward replied angrily "Everything was your fault! You created the Father, you abandoned us… you, you bastard!"
"Wow, what family huh?" the god-thing said to Hohenheinn, who only sighed "I must add that this is the LAST time that I will give you some trade, the next time I will keep everything to myself."
"What?" the two brothers said in unison.
Realizing that they were without any other possibility, Ed sighed annoyed and stepped in front of the god-thing.
"Okay, I agree..." he glanced at Al and turned his face to God "I shall have a perfect body! Don't you dare to give me useless limbs or trick us!" yelled the short blonde.
"Then our contract is sealed." with this words everything became blank.
When he woke up, a haze of steam was covering the room.
Pressing his fingers on his eyes, Ed noticed that all the fingers were human again. Excited, he looked at his right arm and left leg that became flesh and bones. Sitting upright, the blonde looked around searching for Al that was close, laid on his back, naked and sleeping, but all human again.
"Al!! Wake up!!" an excited Edward shook his brother "Look!! My arm! My leg!!" the short alchemist suddenly remembered that the gate requested something of his body then he searched for missing parts. He checked his other limbs, which seemed very normal, but when Ed touched his chest he felt that something was wrong. Very wrong. His chest was swollen and it looked more like a pair of boobs… "Boobs!" screamed the young alchemist touching his chest.
With the scream Al woke up, blinking and a little confused he gazed at Ed; surprised he saw a very naked Edward knelled at his right side with the legs spread sufficiently to see the private parts of his sibling which seemed very feminine. Al turned to four shades of red and covered his eyes "Oh my god bro- I mean, Edward, cover yourself!"
Ed looked down to notice that he no longer have a masculine body. The blonde covered himself or tried to, since her younger brother saw her new private parts. Crying and cursing the Gate she - Ed lost his plumbing, now is a SHE - started to search for clothes or something to cover her nakedness. Her mind was going to crack "What the hell am I now?" she repeated to herself.
Worried about the Elric brothers, Colonel Roy Mustang and his subordinates were looking for them in the destroyed Father's lab, where they had a titanic war against the homunculi. He found the last one homunculus sitting on top of a huge machine observing something avidly.
"Ling? What are you doing there? Roy asked looking forward trying to see what the Xingian boy was staring.
"Beautiful…" Greed sighed and glared annoyed at the Colonel "It's not Ling, it's Greed… I found the Elrics." he said and went down to join the rescue team.
"Where are they?" asked Riza Hawkeye raising an eyebrow, she never trusted on the homunculus.
"In the other side of this machine," he said bored pointing to a patch way "Over there has an entrance between these cables." he waited the military go ahead when they heard Ed's screams.
Running exasperated, Roy came there before the others and in the middle of a mess formed by cables, he saw the most beautiful girl in his life. She was perfect, small but with a pair of big boobs, soft pale skin, silky long blond hair and a pair of bright golden eyes. She was trying to cover her nakedness with her small hands and was crying while searching for something. For a brief moment she stared at him and stopped immobile. Roy stopped to breathe. His heart was beating like crazy on his chest and he was trying to ignore the little discomfort of his paints.
Suddenly she said "YOU! What the fuck! Don't look at me colonel bastard!" she said trying to hide her naked body behind a pile of cables.
"Fullmetal?" Roy realized feeling uneasy "W-what happened?" he said babbling and offered his coat for him or her, he even didn't know anymore.
"Stop it!" Ed said blushing but accepted the coat "I don't know, okay? Then stop with this crap and go to check Al!"
That was the day that Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist turned into a girl.
To be continued.
