A/N: I'm fairly new to the whole "writing" business as far as fanfiction goes, so the spacing might be really bad lol. If anyone could help me with that, tell me how to space it or something, I'd be appreciative. This story is supposed to take place after Al gets his real body back, but since I haven't seen the entire anime nor read the manga, I don't actually know when or if that happens. Also, since it's never really mentioned where these military people sleep or live, I'm just calling it the 'residential area'. Sooo….yeah xD

Warnings: mild homosexual content. If you don't like it, then, well…GO THE F*** AWAY! :3

Also contains: Extreme randomness, several OCs

Disclaimer: I own…this story. That's pretty much it. I don't own the FMA characters. I barely even own the OCs I use.

Edward Elric, the Fullmetal alchemist, was on a train heading back to Central after completing a mission somewhere. Little did he know, he was being followed.

The train soon arrived at the station, and while Ed mused to himself about his secret love for Colonel Roy Mustang while he walked back to Headquarters, he became slightly more aware of two presences following him.

He stopped walking and looked behind him just in time to see two shadowy figures hide behind whatever was around. Edward sighed, figuring he was being stalked by fangirls again.

"Come on out, I know you're following me."

Cautiously, the figures came out of their hiding places to stand in front of him. Both were girls with dark blonde hair, no taller than about five feet and six or seven inches.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" demanded Ed.

The two girls glanced at each other before answering. "I'm Kristin," said one. "I'm Sara," said the other.

Sara spoke up next, "We're not stalking you to ask you on a date or something stupid like that, since you seem to be wondering."

Next was Kristin, "We've decided we're going to help you get together with Roy!" Ed immediately blushed and managed to stutter out his reply, "H-how could you know I l-like him?"

The girls smirked at each other and shared a knowing look, then turned back to him and said "We just know these things, we have our ways."

Edward seemed to recover from the shock of being found out after a little while, though he was still a bit red in the face. "So how are you going to help?"

Both girls gave him an incredulous look, almost as if they were screaming at him that he was a complete idiot. He just kind of stared back at them, totally lost. After the two laughed at his expression for a few seconds, Kristin decided to give the poor alchemist an actual answer.

"We'll be pushing you two closer from the inside." It was just then that Ed realized that the pair of giggling girls were both wearing the blue military uniform outfits.

A while later after that thrilling conversation, Edward, Kristin, and Sara all arrived at headquarters. Unfortunately for them, they were supposed to be there about half an hour ago.

"Any of you three care to explain why you're late?" Riza Hawkeye addressed them, in that serious demeanor of hers.

When it became obvious Ed wasn't going to come up with any sort of intelligent response anytime soon, Sara motioned to herself and Kristin. "It was our fault, Miss Hawkeye. We stopped to talk to Fullmetal along the way, and it ended up delaying all three of us."

"I see," was Riza's simple response. Once he was certain Lieutenant Hawkeye wasn't going to shoot him, he proceeded to the Colonel's office to hand in his mission report. Everyone else was doing paperwork.

A few hours later, Ed was in the library reading a random book. Suddenly, and completely out of nowhere, Sheska, the mousy, bespectacled young woman who had previously worked in the National Central Library in Central City, appeared in front of him.

"Hey, Ed." This, of course, left Edward stunned at how she seemingly appeared out of nowhere, but he closed the book and responded nonetheless.

""Hi Sheska, what's up?" he said, as he wondered what she could possibly want with him at this time.

"Alphonse has been looking for you, he asked me to get you to meet him at the residential area."

Ed stared at Sheska for a few moments before agreeing and heading off to the 'residential area' to meet Al.
