I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. I do own Lan Orion and any other charcters unless started otherwise.

Chapter One:

It was a nice day. The sky was clear, the birds were chirping and flying around, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Edward Elric began to think this was going to be quite a good day. He and his brother Alphonse Elric were waiting at the train station for their friend Winry. She was coming to town to fix Edwards automail…again. He was looking forward to seeing his old friend again, but not looking forward for her lectures about being more careful with his automail. He shook his head, not wanting to think how it got broke in the first place. It was depressing that it got trashed from some punk. Edward should have been back in a hospital or something, anything but moving around with his automail that was working less and less every time he moved. He turned to look at Al, who was sitting and waiting patiently. Edward couldn't take it anymore so he yelled, "What the hell is taking the train so damn long?!"

"You have to be patient, brother. I'm sure it had a small delay or something. Maybe there was a poor cat or something in sitting on the train tracks and they had to stop it for that." Al suggested. He jumped at his brothers' next outburst.

"Yea, well! Then that cat should not have been there in the first place!" Edward said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Al knew his brother was not mad at the train. He was mad about his arm and the guy who messed it up. Alphonse wanted to say something to help his brother calm down, but he could not think of anything to say. So he remained quiet. He did not want to accidentally say about what happened to his automail and get his brother into a further bad mood. He stood up happily when he heard the train whistle off in the distance. "Ed! It's here! The train is finally here! We can see Winry now!"

"Great…" Ed said, looking down at the ground.

The two of them waited in silence as the train slowed down, then stopped and the people abroad the train filed out. People walked by them, giving Alphonse odd looks, but that was about it. They just continued on with their lives. When most of the people were off and there was no Winry, they began to think this was the wrong train. But at last, they saw Winry jump off and run toward them. "Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late. There were some engine problems."

"I see. I'm glad that you got here safely." Al said happily. "The Colonel is out getting the car ready for us to take back."

"Me too." Edward said. "I'm happy to see you too, I guess."

She quickly pulled out a wrench and waked Edward over the head with it. "And you! What the hell did you do this time to break your automail? You know I can not keep running out here every time it breaks."

Before Ed could defend himself, a dark haired person walked over to them and said "I'm sorry, I am reason for it breaking." All three of them turned to look at the newcomer. Ed growled in frustration.

The person had short black that was very messy and went every which way. He had dark eyes. He looked like he was about seventeen years old, and appeared to be about five foot eleven inches, way taller than Ed, that was for sure. He was wearing a black sleeveless t-shirt under a long black light coat that went down to his knees. He had black pants and black boots. On his hands he has black fingerless gloves. And around his neck was a chain, but it is uncertain if there is something on it since it went down under his shirt. He ran his hands through his hair to make sure it was at the right quality of messiness.

"Hello. Are you Al and Ed's friend?" Winry smiled at him.

"That's a laugh." Edward said under his breath. He wanted to yell out why this punk was there, but he somehow held it back.

"No, not quite. I am Lan Orion and I'm the reason why your friend here had to call you here to fix his automail. So I wouldn't be yelling at him this time about breaking it." he smiled at her.

Ed could not hold it back any longer. "What the hell are you doing here Lan?! Don't you think you cause me enough anger the last time we met? Besides where is that person you were with last time? Maybe I can kick both of your asses at the same time now!"

Lan ignored Edward and continued to smile. Then in one swift movement he moved forward and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Hey you girlie, why don't you lose this short stupid loser and his brother and come with me? I assure you we will have lots of fun together."

Winry blushed, not sure what to do. She was slightly taken aback by his sudden offer.

Edward quickly rushed forward, grabbed Winry's arm and pulled her out of Lan's hold. "Don't ever touch her! AND I'M NOT SHORT! I'm the smartest person you have ever seen!"

"Sure, whatever just keep telling yourself that. Someday I'll come true," he said, rolling his eyes. He then looked at Edward, very serious. "Are you jealous, little shorty?"

"Hell no! Are you demented and delusional or something?" Edward said angrily.

"Awwww! So cute! Little Eddy has a crush on me." Lan leaned forward so his face was inches from Ed's. He didn't seem have paid any attention to Edwards' last comment. "But since you don't want me to be with her, does that mean…you have feelings for me?" He placed one hand underneath Ed's chin. "If you love me, I'm sure I can find a way in my heart to love you in return. Plus we're both guys, but I'm sure we can get through that obstacle, right?"

Ed's eyes widen in shock and anger as Lan spoke.

At that moment Roy, who had just returned from finding them a ride back, walked over to them. "What is going on out here…?" He looked at Lan and Ed, then said in an angered tone, "What the hell is going on? If you are bothering Fullmetal, I advise you to step back."

Lan didn't move, Ed stepped away from Lan.

Lan took a few steps back. "Oh, I see…so you two are together, right?"

"No! It's nothing like that!" they both yelled at the same time. Ed's face began to turn a dark pink, while Roy remained perfectly calm.

"Hmph...Yea, right..." Lan smiled. "Just keep telling yourselves that and I'm sure someday it'll happen. Not!" he snickered.

"Why don't you just leave before you get hurt." Roy snapped. He held his hand loosely at his side and prepared them in case he had to snap them in a hurry to get fire.

"Oh really? That makes me want to laugh. If we were to fight, which I'm not here to do today, I would have to say that I would not be the one getting hurt, you would." Lan said.

"I beg to differ." Roy said coldly.

"Hmm… perhaps I shall give you a taste of what your friend already had." He held out his hand, made a fist. A few seconds later, water began to pour out of his hand on onto the pavement.

Roy gave the younger guys a confused look, not knowing what he was doing. But Ed and Al on the other hand, did know what was going on. The two brothers scooted away a few feet so they would not be in the way. They pulled Winry along with them.

"How is that threatening…?" Roy wondered out loud.

"Just shut up, Mustang." Ed warned.

Lan sneered. All the water that was on the ground, and water that was still pouring out of his hand floated up into the air. It hovered over Roy's head and came crashing down on him when Lan snapped his fingers. Lan snickered at the wet military dog.

Roy was drenched from head to toe. "…how did you do that? You didn't make a alchemy symbol…"

"I'm just lucky, I guess." Lan smiled.

"See, I told you he didn't use one." Ed shot at Roy.

Roy ignored Ed and stared at Lan.

"Try your gloves. I bet you can't start a fire." Lan said.

Roy snapped his fingers to…have nothing happen. "What…?"

"They are wet. Can you get a soggy wet log to catch fire? Nope! You can't. And that is what your gloves are right now. Soggy and wet!" Lan laughed.

"I… You… I need to be alone…" Roy left and headed toward the nearest bathroom. He didn't have to go or anything, he just wanted to leave to be in private so he could get over the fact that he was almost useless when it came to this teenager punk.

"Lan Orion! Where are you? Lannie-chan?!" a female voice called from down the train station.

Lan's eyes widen in fear at the voice. "Oh, shit! I have to get out of here. Little Missy, can you help me? Please? Tin-man, can you please help me? That girl is the most evilest person you will ever meet!"

Al looked at his brother who was shaking his head no, but Al turned back to Lan, smiled and said, "Sure. Hop in." He opened his armor to let Lan jumped in.

"AH! WHAT THE HELL?! WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR BODY, DUDE! NEVER MIND THAT! I WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THE CREEPY EMPTY ARMOR THAT SEEMS TO TALK ON IT'S OWN!" Lan yelled as he jumped in.

Al closed the armor and bucked it back up.

"Al…" Ed growled.

"What? He needs help. If he says that person is evil, then she is evil and we have to help him." Al said.

"Yea, but he is evil!" Ed snapped.

"Technically, I'm not evil, I'm just a nuisance to you and society. But I will take that as a compliment any way. " Lan said from inside Al. "Wow…it's rather quite cozy in here. Anywho, has that girl appeared yet? Why don't you have a body? Is your body a few feet away controlling this thing with your mind or something?"

"Will you shut up in there?" Ed snapped at him.

"I am not going to listen to a little snot nose punk like you." Lan snapped back.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?! I AM NOT A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER THAT GOT RIPPED OFF AND BLOWS IN THE WIND AND YOU CAN ONLY SEE IT IF IT GET STUCK IN YOUR EYE!" Ed yelled. "Al, open up and let me get in there to kick his ass."

"You really don't like that 'little' word, do you?" Lan muttered to himself.

"Brother…please calm down. Look, Colonel Mustang is coming back. Why don't we just leave and calm down?"

Roy approached them and looked around, "Where did that guy go?"

"I do have a name you know. It's Lan. Could you please refer me as that, you wet military dog?!" Lan yelled from inside of Al.

"Would someone care to explain why he is in Al?" Roy asked, his wet fingers ready to snap and be useless as soon as Lan acted up.

Al looked down sheepishly. "Well, Colonel, you see…there is a evil woman over there calling for Lan and Lan wants to get away from her. So I let him hide inside."

Roy sighed and turned to Edward. "You're brother is too kind for his own good. Let's leave and dump that pipsqueak on the way out."

"C'mon Al. Let's do what the colonel says and find a good place to dump him." Ed said.

Roy began to led the way out of there and Ed, Winry and Al slowly followed.

"Do we have to dump him? Can't he come with us for a little bit? I know he did that to your arm…But… He doesn't seem all that bad." Al said.

"Al, he's not some stray cat. And yes, we do have to dump him and no he cannot come with us." Ed said.

"But…but…brother!" Al whined.

"No, Al." Ed said firmly. "If you're thinking about keeping him, don't do it."

"Hello…uh, I'm not a object or some kitten. Could you refer treat me like a HUMAN?!"

Roy stopped walking and turned to face them. "Alphonse is onto something there. We should keep that brat for a little bit. Maybe he is part of some organization that is against the military. We could keep him for a few days and get as much information out of him as we can."

"WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP CALLING ME A BRAT OR WHATEVER! I HAVE A NAME! I TOLD YOU MY NAME! WILL YOU PLEASE USE MY NAME?!" Lan yelled rather loudly, causing them all to jump. "TELLING SOMEONE YOUR NAME AND THEN THEM NOT USING IT MAKES NO SENSE! NO DAMN SENSE AT ALL! AND IT IS VERY RUDE! NOT THAT I KNOW THE BEST MANNERS IN THE WORLD, BUT I DO KNOW IT IS RUDE TO NOT CALL SOMEONE BY THEIR NAME WHEN THEY HAVE ASKED YOU MULTIPLE TIMES TO DO SO!"

"Shut up in there! Or do you want that so called evil girl to find you?" Winry said to Lan.

"Oh… she didn't hear me, did she? Is she coming toward us? Do you see her?" Lan asked frantically.

Al turned around. "Nope, there is no one insight that looks like they are looking for you."

"Thank goodness." Lan sighed.

Roy cleared his voice so he was the center of attention again. "Now, if you please, we should hurry back so we can get this 'Lan' under surveillance."

Then, Ed cleared his voice so everyone would look at him. "Well, you wouldn't have to tell us to hurry if you would just walk and shut up."

Roy just smirked and turned around. "It wouldn't take so long to walk out of here if you actually used those little legs of you and walk."

"What did you say?!" Ed was starting to get filled with utmost anger.

"You heard me, Fullmetal." Roy said.

Before Ed could reply, they heard snoring sounds come from Al. They all looked over at him curiously.

"Al, are you sleeping?" Ed asked.

"Uh, no. I think Lan is though…" Al said.

Ed hit the side of Al's armor with his left hand as the continued to walk. "Hey wake up in there. It's not nice to sleep when you have guests."

"Owwwww! You punk! When I come out there, I am going to kick our ass so hard and pound your face in so much that when I am finished with you, no one will be able to tell the difference between them!" Lan yelled.

"Yea, I'd love to see you try." Ed said, smiling at the thought of the rematch he and Lan would have when the punk got out. "Talk all you want, but I will be the one to kick our ass."

Lan laughed. "You're funny, did you know that? I would love to see you get one of your tiny little short chicken legs up high enough to even kick my ass."

Winry stepped in front of Ed. "Ed, I know he is making you angry, but you have to calm down. You don't want to make a scene and make your automail even more unrepairable, do you?"

"BUT…HE…HE STARTED IT!" Ed yelled.

"Brother, listen to Winry and settle down. Please?" Al pleaded with his older brother.

Ed looked up at him. "Oh fine." Ed crossed his arm over his chest and looked off in the distance as we walked.

The four of them walked the rest of the way to the car in silence while Lan rested inside Al and drifted back off to sleep.
