Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or anything related to it.

This is split into 3 parts based on Ed, Al, and Roy's pov. That is how every chapter will go though I've been thinking about adding Riza's point of view later on. Also all their thoughts are in * marks. I rated it T for slight language. So here' chapter 2! ^_^

Dreams

Chapter 2: Reports and Files

-Ed pov-

He was studying when his brother came in. "Hey brother, why don't you take a break? You've been working since 1pm. You've got to be hungry and you have to report to the Colonel later too."

Ed hadn't realized that he had been working for 3 hours straight. He totally forgot about his meeting with the bastard today too. He came out of his and Al's study into the kitchen. It was much brighter in the kitchen and had to squint for a few seconds as his eyes adjusted to the light. He sat at the small bar/countertop they had next to Al. Al had already made sandwiches for both of them and he was eating his own.

"Jeez, thanks Al."

"No problem, brother."

Ed had been so glad when he finally got his brother's body back from the other side of the gate. He still had his auto-mail but he could live with that. But he knew if he had never gotten Al's body back he would have never been able to live with himself.

They sat and ate in silence for a few minutes until Al broke it. "Hey Ed, are you ok?"

Ed was taken aback a little. "Yeah everything's fine why do you ask?"

"No reason making sure your ok."

"Al there's no need to worry over me."

"Yes but I still do. You're my brother."

*Why is he worried about me? Nothings wrong.* "What's there to worry about? I haven't been in any fights, all my missions have gone smoothly just as planned, the homunculi have taken a break for the most part."

"That's not what I mean brother." Al paused and then continued, "You haven't been having any weird dreams lately, have you?"

Ed sat there with a blank stare, unlike his racing thoughts. *How would Alphonse know about my dream? He might have woke up and noticed me. Oh good god I don't sleep talk do I?!?!*

He looked at the clock and saw that he had 10 minutes to get to the Colonels office. "Oh sshh…" Ed stopped himself as he felt Al's stare. Al never thought that Ed should cuss. "Crap!" Ed yelled.

He grabbed his report off the coffee table and his coat. With his coat only half way on he yelled "Later Al!" as he ran out the door.

-Al pov-

"Later Al!" The door was still half open. Al walked over and closed it with a smile. It was funny when Ed spazzed. At least when he wasn't angry. Al cleaned up from their meal.

*I didn't get to find out Edward's dream. I'm sure he knew what I was talking about though. I'll ask him again later tonight or tomorrow.* Al sat down and started to read one of his books. He hoped the best for Ed and his new mission. Maybe this time he could tag along and help Ed. He hated being here alone.

-Roy pov-

Roy woke up again almost falling off his chair and onto the floor. "That was weird." he said to himself. Roy closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

*I am so stressed. I've got to get out and do something before I go crazy.*

Riza walked in with a file in hand. "Oh hi, what's that?" pointing towards the file.

"It's Fullmetal's new mission, yours too." as she handed him the file. He almost didn't hear the last part.

"Right, he got back a couple days ago." He then caught what she had meant by 'yours too' as she was walking out the door.

"Hey wait!" he yelled but she was already gone. He swore he'd seen a faint smirk on her face too.

"This is some sort of joke right?!"

No response.

*I'll take that as a no.*

He reread the file to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Unfortunately it still read 'Fullmetal is to report to Central 3 days from now to help search and find the Dark Water Alchemist, accompanied by the Flame Alchemist.

"Fullmetal will not be happy about this." Roy closed the folder and slumped back in his chair. He didn't really have enough energy to put up with Edward's temper. Nonetheless he must. Then he heard 3 loud bangs on his door followed by it being swung open and Fullmetal striding through it. *How ironic…*

He kicked the door shut with the back of his foot. "I'm here!"

"Hello Fullmetal, lovely entrance." Roy said with sarcasm coating every word. Ed walked up to his desk and threw a folder down onto it.

"There's your report Colonel bastard." He walked away and sat on the small sofa he had in his office.

Roy skimmed over the report but saw the word 'homunculus'. "What is this about a homunculus, Fullmetal?"

Ed glanced over at him and then said "Oh that, I caught one following me one day. It ran so I chased it but it disappeared before I could catch up to it. It kind of reminded me of Envy but I'm not sure who it was."

Roy sighed. *Great, more to worry about. These homunculi are going to be the death of me. I thought we were rid of all of them anyway. And now one shows up and follows Ed around?*

"Nice job Fullmetal." Ed got up and walked over to his desk.

"So where the hell are you sending me now?"

"Central," he said while holding the folder out to Edward. As soon as Edward had grabbed it out of his hands he added, "and I'll be joining you." with an almost wicked smirk.

Even though Ed's temper was something to fear it was also his weakness and a good laugh for anyone who knew him well. Ed didn't think he was being serious. Roy laughed to himself as Ed's face changed as he read.

"That's got to be a mistake or something!" There's no way in hell I'll go on a mission with you!" His face pulled up into a scowl as he threw the file down.

"This has got to be a dream." Ed muttered. Roy almost didn't hear it, but it drew his mind back into the dream he'd had earlier.

"Can Al come with us?" Ed asked. But Roy heard the question from his dream instead.

"What?"

"I said, can Al go with us?"

"There's nothing that says he can't."

Ed crossed his arms. "Needing hearing aids already are we old man?"

Roy gave him an icy glare that would have scared anyone else. "Haha Fullmetal, your dismissed."

Ed picked up his coat and left almost exactly as he had entered. Roy thought back to the dream again. "Akward, very akward." He muttered to himself. He seemed to be doing that more and more. Riza had walked in moments later and saw Roy with his head in his hands.

"Are you ok, sir?" *I wonder…* Roy lifted his head and looked at her. "I'm ok." He stopped but then said

"Riza, do you know anything about dreams?"
