(A/N: Did you read the bold above? O=)

Ed looked at BlackStar who was holding the books as high as he could above of his head staring down right at him.

"Look I am really not in the mood to fight so can we just-"Ed started, before he could finish though BlackStar yelled out, "What, is the shrimp too scared to face someone as big as me?" With a bellowing laugh when he finished.

"Shrimp?" Ed said under his breath. "SHRIMP?" Ed yelled then tackled BlackStar making the books fly out of his hands, that Mizuki ended up catching, then rolled him down onto the floor. He was punching BlackStar's face, who was covering with his hands trying to avoid getting another nosebleed from being hit hard enough. BlackStar moved his legs up from under Ed's legs and kick him flying backwards with his stomach. While this was going on Al, Mizuki, along with Soul, Maka, and even the Colonel were moving tables out of the way; Ed flipped in the air then landed in a crouching position with one hand on the floor for balance. BlackStar move his hands behind his head then flipped himself into a standing position; he actually had a reason to fight both of them. He was looking for a pattern in there fighting styles but so far he found nothing but then again he got Ed mad while Mizuki was in a neutral mood. Ed, instead of waiting any longer for BlackStar to attack, ran up and used his left leg to make it look like he was going to swing at his feet so that when he jumps he moved his leg up hitting him in the stomach making him sprawl out on the floor with the breath knocked out of him. He didn't wait for him to recover from that point and ran up to him moving his foot up in the air and then striking down with his heel but at the last second BlackStar moved away narrowly missing getting hit by his heel. He figured out that both of them favored using their left leg and right arm when attacking someone. Not that they didn't use both when fighting they just favored those limbs. By now Ed had let some steam out and was better than earlier and this time waited for BlackStar to attack him. BlackStar proceeded to run at him trying to punch him in the gut but Ed caught his hand and flipped him over then while BlackStar was in midair, he swung his left leg around and hit him in the stomach again, knocking the breath out of BlackStar again. BlackStar was getting annoyed at getting beaten by these 2 siblings, but he couldn't see any pattern in the fighting styles. Other then both using their left leg and right arm, they both seem to enjoy giving the enemy full on attack and, when there not pissed at the enemy, give them time to get up then rush at them. BlackStar knowing this (A/N: He knows something? Hell just froze over! lol) he ignored the fact Ed might be able to dodge, like Mizuki, and ran up to him to punch him, but didn't get a chance for Ed curled his right fist and punched it right into BlackStar's face, not only pushing him back but giving him another nosebleed.

"Well looks like I win," Ed said with a smirk on his lips

BlackStar only glared at him as he somewhat staggered to his feet. He was beaten once already and didn't let his bruises heal completely before fighting another person, who was completely healthy.

"Wow you both beat BlackStar," Soul said as the Colonel walked up to Ed and started to talk to him about something. The rest of the people moved the tables back into place which after that was done Mizuki and Al got the books they were reading before and got right back to it, causing Maka and Soul to sweat drop at this. Ed and Roy then walked over to BlackStar and helped him to the nurse office.

*At the Elric's house*

"You know we should really have some sort of code incase me and Ed don't have our cloaks on," Mizuki said while they were eating.

"And when do you not have that and or your black shirt on?" Roy asked with an amused look on his face

"When we're sleeping/just waking up Father," Ed said dragging out the father part, causing Roy to glare at him before turning his attention back to his food.

"Well I think it's a good idea," Al said trying to get back on what the code should be.

"I have to agree with making a code because according to you, sir, you said that the kids shouldn't show there automail if they could help it," Riza said, shooting a sideways glance at Roy who only mumbled in return.

"Alright I was thinking that Riza shoots 2 shots and the Colonel somehow does a bang using Alchemy without being seen," Mizuki said looking at everyone else for a suggestion.

"What happens, though, if someone asks why there was a bang?" Roy said thinking Oh even if it was small, someone would ask why there was a sudden explosion.

"Try to make it sound like Riza's gun." Ed said

After that there weren't any more concerns so they went back to eating.

*Next Day*

School was out because it was the weekend so Ed, Mizuki and Al went outside to train each other. Ed and Al were up first, then they would rest for a minute before letting Al and Mizuki went at it. So far it was going ok till Ed thought of something.

"Hey did either of you touch up your room?" Ed said thinking of how he hadn't done anything to his room other then stuff clothes into the closet.

"Uh…other than putting my clothes in the closet….no…" Mizuki answered.

"Same as Sister," Al answered with Ed shooting him a nod.

"Well then we should go and change our rooms," he said, getting up from the ground.

"Hey wait a minute!" Ed stopped walking towards the house and looked back at his sister who yelled out.

"Why don't we all do each other's rooms?" she said with a grin "Al can do yours, you can do mine and I can do Al's!"

Both Al and Ed just looked at her for a second and Ed was about to protest seeing who knows what could happen to Al's poor room when Al said, "That's a great idea!" thus out ruling Ed, causing him to end up in Mizuki's room trying to see how to decorate it.

*4 hours later~*

A scream pierced the house followed by a flying wrench and an Ed falling from the stop of the stairs all the way down.

"YOU PAINTED IT PINK?" Mizuki yelled running down and kicking Ed into the opposite wall

"AND JUST WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET AN EPIC ROOM!" She yelled at Ed after she grabbed him by the back of the shirt collar and held him up.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AL DID MY ROOM!" he yelled right back, wiggling to get down.

She let go of his shirt and crossed her arms in front of her chest before saying, "Me and Al switched rooms because I said I wanted to give you an epic room to show I can be a nice sister so Al got to do his own room.

"Also because Al really wanted to do his own room because he came up with a really good idea for it so I just allowed him to do it." (A/N: Also I couldn't think of anything for Al's room gomen)

Ed just looked at her unsure of if she was lying about this or not. She rolled her eyes and grabbed his wrist, not without him protesting, and dragged him into his room where he was silenced. The walls were covered in alchemy circles and a row of books lined one side of the room that reached all the way to the ceiling (which btw is pretty high up so it's not like the ladder which is there would insult Ed much) and well in other words it was Ed's DREAM room. (A/N: Well I kind of stopped writing this and didn't feel like doing detail on his room forgive me)

"YOU SERIOUSLY DID ALL THIS?" Ed shouted in amazement as he looked all around the again to double check that it was really there.

"Yes I did and here you go painting MY room PINK!" Mizuki answered him in a very annoyed voice.

"Err...Well you see…." Ed said rubbing the back of his neck then suddenly remembers something. "Oh wait…I forgot I did that…" Ed slapped his forehead as he remembered it.

Mizuki just looked at him with a "Huh?" expression as he dragged her back to her room then grabbed the bottom corner of one end and pulled ripping the pink girly looking room right off of what was Mizuki's dream room (you can make up how it looks as long as there is no twilight or pink in it).

"Ok you're forgiven," Mizuki said with a nod of her head. "Now what time is it?"

"Almost 10," Al said, emerging from his room and walking towards his siblings.

As Mizuki counted how many hours they had worked on each other's–not counting Al's room–rooms she faced palmed at the fact it took 4 hours

"Well let's head to bed" Ed said after seeing his sister look like an idiot. It left a smirk on his face as he walked to his room.

*The Next Day*

Maka and Soul were walking up to the Elric's to see if their new friends wanted to come to the park with them. Only, when they got to the house, let's just say it was another hectic morning. They heard a bong then a crash of a window and when they looked up both of them ran in opposite directions to avoid the wrench that had flow out from the window.

"THANKS A LOT MIZ NOW I HAVE TO FIX MY WINDOW!"

The voice sounded like Ed's and apparently there was a reply but it was muffled and whatever it was did not improve Ed's mood because when Maka saw him out of the corner of her eye Ed when she glanced at the window he look pissed and his left arm looked…shiny? Something must have happened because, faster than Black*Star eats a meal; Ed disappeared from the window. Two gun shots then followed and Maka looked at Soul who had raised an eyebrow. After retrieving the wrench and walking up to the door they knocked twice before Al came and answered it.

"Maka, Soul, what brings you here"–crash–"to our hectic home?" Al said, as he cringed at the crash and looked behind him

Maka thought his voice, for some reason, sounded a little hollow but discarded it

"Ah nothing much, just wondered if you guys wanted to come to the park with us?"

Al shuffled his feet a bit looking down at the ground before lifting his head about to answer when Mizuki and Ed came running. By the looks of it Mizuki was chasing Ed for some unknown reason, well that was before Mizuki yelled out,

"ED GIVE IT BACK NOW OR I SWEAR I WILL RIP YOU LIMB BY LIMB!"

Now at that time they were both on the top floor when Ed rode down the stairs' railing and hid behind Al right as Mizuki got done riding down the railing.

"Al move away from your brother so I can–" Before she finished she saw Maka and Soul at the door looking bewildered at what was going on.
"Ah Maka, Soul, come in just go into that room over there"–points to the room and takes the wrench–"and Al or I will get you when this is shorted out!"

They both just nodded not knowing what else to do and went into the room she mentioned which just happened to be a sitting room that had a TV, mini fridge, and an Xbox with a bunch of games. There was also a little reading nook in the corner so they would be ok waiting in there for awhile.

Back to Al, Ed and Mizuki.

Al was trying his best not to let his sister make Ed's limbs fly around the room after much cursing, almost tearing of automail limbs and a bunch of times that Ed got hit in the head with a wrench, Ed gave back whatever he took and, after Mizuki shot one more glare, she went back up to put back the object that Ed took while Al and Ed (who was jumpy in case Mizuki suddenly thought another wrench attack was needed) went to go get Soul and Maka from the guest room.

"Hey sorry about that. I wanted to get back at her for breaking my window and then well…I got real acquainted with a certain wrench…." Ed told them rubbing the back of his neck

"Ah it's ok, so do you guys want to go to the park now then? Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, Kid and BlackStar planned on meeting us there," Maka said as she put her book away on the shelf while Soul, reluctantly, turned off the Xbox and put up the controller.

"Sure," said a voice from behind.

All of them look out to see Mizuki leaning on the door frame shooting glares at Ed still.

"Alright then let's go," Soul said as he walked out of the room Maka close behind and the Elric siblings in tow.

When they got to the park it seemed BlackStar got bored and now was showing off by swinging like a monkey in a nearby tree and, sadly, not Kid, Liz, Patty or Tsubaki could find a way to get him to come down, but that was before a flying book and wrench went smashing into BlackStar's face causing him to fall out of the tree face planting in the dirt causing his nose to bleed…again…and causing him to hold it then running around screaming like a chicken with its head cut off yelling, "IT'S BLEEDING!" but it did make everyone roll over laughing, even Tsubaki started to laugh at BlackStar antics.

So after they got the whole "BlackStar is gonna die by a bleeding nose" they got to the real point which was to have a picnic under the shade of the trees, which somehow lead to Mizuki and Ed having bets on who could eat one of the really hot and spicy, symmetrical, peppers (OH HUM!) that someone brought. Amazingly Ed won that one and Mizuki had to give him her share of the pie Tsubaki made. Ed, who happily munched on his second piece, was getting one of those "If looks could kill this would" from Mizuki.

"So did everyone enjoy their meal?" Tsubaki asked after everyone (except Black*Star who could eat more than a guy starved for 1 week) looked like they were done.

"Well other then getting my pie stolen"–glare at Ed –"it was one of the best meals I ever had!" Mizuki said giving Tsubaki and cheerful smile.

"Could you tell us what was in that pie?" Ed asked, seriously wanting to have more of that pie even though he had 2½ slices because Al split his with his siblings.

"Great like always Tsubaki!" Maka said with Soul and Al nodding in agreement.

Patty, on the other hand, was waving her hands on her tongue with her sister trying to get her to calm down and drink a little water.

"She had one of the peppers didn't she?" Ed asked.

Everyone then sweat dropped and looked at Kid who looked back at them then yelled in defense, "THEY WERE SYMMETRCAL!"

This earned a laugh from everyone except Liz and Patty. Liz face palming her forehead finally realizing getting her sister to stop was not going to happen till her tongue cooled down. After all that was sorted out they set up a game of basketball. It was Soul, BlackStar and Mizuki against Kid, Patty and Ed. The Game started out well enough both teams about equally matched, till Mizuki had a great idea and when it was Kid between her and the basket she simple did something, or said something, that was unsymmetrical which made Kid have a mental breakdown long enough for her to get a shot in. Kid wasn't allowed to defend the goal anymore. BlackStar tried calling Ed a shrimp to make him mad and see if he could get a shot in. It failed badly and he almost got another punch in the face, and when he dodged the attack to his face he dropped the ball that Ed picked up and dribbled over and shot in. BlackStar was not allowed to go shot when Ed defended. After that the game went smoothly ending with a tie of One-to-One. Everything was going great that day till Maka felt a witch's soul, then, calling for Soul and the others to follow her, leaving the Elrics in a confused state. They decided to follow anyway to see what was up and because they remembered the folders saying something about witches so they should see what these 'witches' could do.

Things did not start out well against the witch. BlackStar, being BlackStar, rushed up and tried to head on attack the witch who shot an orb at him which he barely was able to block with Tsubaki.

"FOOLS!" The witch crackled "MY ATTACKS WILL DESTORY YOUR SKIN WHEN IT HITS YOU!"

She launched more balls of energy at BlackStar, who after regaining his footing and checking on Tsubaki, easily dodging them being the ninja he is (A/N: No one deny this because we all know it's true he literally is a ninja basically). Kid came next shooting at the witch from a long ranged distance who was slightly preoccupied with BlackStar who was being cocky and making faces at her. A few of his shots skimmed her arm before she saw him and dodged the really fatal ones. Maka and Soul Came flying in (literally) next who had tried to get in a better

-PAUSE!-

OK I know in the last chapter I said Maka and Soul were still getting kishin eggs and stuff, but when I wrote that part I forgot ok? Let's go with saying the information was behind and Soul is already a death scythe but Maka still wears her normal clothes kapishi? I really dun know how to spell that word.

-UNPAUSE!-

position by circling around and attacking her from behind but as Maka tried to swing Soul at the witch in mid air, the witch charged up another energy ball causing Maka to hastily put Soul under her feet again and shoot upward JUST as the ball of energy was launched at them. Ed, Mizuki and Al came up right after Maka and Soul just dodged the attack. But for a minute they were confused, where were Liz, Patty, Soul and Tsubaki? But they didn't have time to wonder this right as the witch spotting them sent a ball of energy in their direction. Maka shouted "LOOK OUT!" Right as the ball was about to hit, and Ed who played hero a little, jumped in front of his siblings crossing his arms over his face (Automail on top) as the ball hit them. When it disappeared there stood Ed, Mizuki and Al in perfect shape, Ed not missing his arm now or anything causing the witch to be stunned in surprise that gave Maka and Soul an opening to attack her and sliced her right through her waist leaving a glowing purple ball in the shape of a human hand in the witch's place. Then Maka and Soul flew down and landed, Soul turning back into a human right as Maka landed, as Kid, Liz, Patty, BlackStar, and Tsubaki ran up to the Elric siblings.

"How did that attack not affect you?" Maka asked in amazement but got no reply as the Elrics stared at Soul, Liz, Patty and Tsubaki in amazement unable to hide that fact that they seem to be surprised that they were the weapons just moments before.

Maka waved a hand in front of their faces snapping them out of there trance, just as Ed was about to ask how the hell they transformed into weapons Mizuki tackled him to the ground and meekly smiled up.

"Uh, um no idea really maybe she messed up on it?"

"Hey Maka," Soul said. "Mind if I get the soul?" He said holding up the soul in his hand.

"Sure go ahead," Maka said turning her attention back at the Elrics who stared wide eyed as Soul ate the purple hand looking ball. (A/N: ok I really don't know if soul is allowed to eat the witch soul but let's say he can okay?)

Soul looked at them with his eyebrow raised, "What?"

"Ah ah ah, n-n-n-nothing," Mizuki stuttered, getting off of Ed.

All of them looked at the Elrics in suspicion wondering why they seemed to be shocked about what normally goes on around here.

"W-w-we should be heading back home now Co- I mean our dad must be wondering where we are…." Mizuki said grabbing Al's and Ed's wrist half dragging half pulling them back to their home.

"Weird," said Patty with a giggle after.

*Back at the Elric house*

Mizuki and Ed were simultaneously yelled question at each other still not seeming to get an answer to work with anything. Al on the other hand was trying to tell them that this place was different so course stuff would be off. That was answered with, "BUT IT DEFIES THE LAWS OF SCIENCE!" in unison from both of them, and then they went back to yelling at each other. Al sighed unable to get though to his brother and sister, who were, by what he could guess, going to be at it for awhile. So Al sighed again and left to go find Riza and or Mustang to try and see if either, A, they knew what was going on with the whole transforming into weapons, or, B, could make Ed and Mizuki stop. He trusted they could do B more than A considering all Riza had to do was point a gun at them, and they would shut up and, being from the fact they didn't read most of the books in the library here and being from the same place he and his siblings are from, there was next to none of a chance they knew. He sighed again as he looked around the house still able to hear Mizuki and Ed yelling. Wondering how the Riza and Mustang couldn't hear it at all, he searched a couple of rooms till he came to this one door marked 'Coronel's Workroom.' Taking as good a guess as anyone could; he assumed that Riza brought along the Coronel's work so that he could do it even though he was away from his original workroom. Al opened the door and sure enough there was Mustang sitting hunched over some papers with Riza right behind him to his right. The funny part in all of this was there were A LOT of boxes. Boxes running all around the room reaching all the way up to the ceiling and basically covering most of the floor! Al stifled a laugh at how Riza had really prepared for Mustang being away for a long time. He even noted that the walls were sound prove thus nothing outside could bother him or distract him…but that was before Al opened the door and the shouts of his siblings came full on causing the coronel to jump up in his seat and notice Al. Riza, who was also surprised, looked up as well to Al with a slightly knowing look.

"Al, do you need something?" Riza asked already guessing his visit has to do with the yelling going on.

"Um, yea could you help me get brother and sister to stop fighting? I am afraid if we don't soon they will be at it all night." Al said.

"Alright," Riza said with certain softness in her eyes that quickly disappeared when she looked back at Roy.

"You better be working when I get back and I better not find a SINGLE burnt paper, or piece of ash."

Roy, terrified of what she might do, nodded in a hurry and got right back to work.

When Riza got to Ed and Mizuki she had to cover her ears because it got a lot louder when you were right next to them. She reached into her holster, pulled out her gun and shot it 3 times. That shut Ed and Mizuki right up and they turned in slight fear and look at Riza.

"AH! RIZA!" Mizuki yelled hiding behind Ed incase she was mad at them.

"Ok what were you two making so much noise about?" Riza asked giving them this stern mother look.

"Uh well…" Mizuki started

". , !" Ed said all in one breathe

Riza blinked then slowly said, "Ok so I think you said there was this witch that came shooting all these energy balls and then after she was sliced by Maka using her scythe and that scythe turned back into Soul. But before that she flying in on it, I am guessing you mean her scythe, and Tsubaki, Liz and Patty also had transformed into weapons and back?"

Mizuki and Al just looked at her in amazement that they could understand Ed and Ed just stood there breathing in and out hands on his knees but he did hold up his thumb saying she got it right.

Riza sighed knowing sooner or later they were going to see them change into weapons.

"Ok look you two. Roy and I have both seen this happen and, of course, we don't know how they do it either. But right now it doesn't matter because from what Roy and I figured out is this is not Alchemy but something else, so it does not apply to our mission to find out how or really care for that matter right now." She said giving that "no more questions now" look. In truth though both Roy and Riza wanted to find out how this is done but they both agreed that they shouldn't less Ed, Mizuki or even Al sees them doing it then starts doing it themselves trying to figure it out. Then obsession and they really didn't need any of them trying to work that out.

The rest of the weekend after that past without incident other than the normal yelling and throwing of wrenches not much else happened.

*The Next Day at School*

"Alright students today Lord Death thought it would be a great idea to have you all go on a field trip," Dr. Stein said causing the students all to brighten up thinking of the possibilities then remember who was teaching and thought of all the places he wanted to go to. From there most heads had hit the desks leaving the Elrics slightly confused considering they have not seen his odd obsession with dissecting at full force.

"For all you who think I get to pick you are mistaken. Lord Death told me where going to a swimming pool for some reason I have yet to know." Stein said with a comment from someone in the room saying, "Just because"

That earned a slightly awkward silence from room before Stein broke it.

"Okay, but before we go we are going to learn a little about Alchemy." The Elrics winced here. "But I am centering it on the creature, or in this case I guess creation of homunculus." Stein finished with his normal insane smile. Maka noticed the Elrics' eyes darken at that statement and that Mizuki seemed to be muttering something under her breath, whatever it was wasn't good considering she had this 'if looks could kill we'd all be dead look' that as being almost as bad as Ed's own "if looks could kill" look.

"So," Stein said, "anyone have any idea how these 'Homunculus' are made?" He looked around the room waiting for someone to either answer or ask him if he knows; although chances are he doesn't have much of an idea.

Stein looked around the room for anyone who looks like they would know. His eyes landed on the Elrics who seemed to be trying there hardest to look like they didn't know what he was talking about. His smile, if possible, got bigger as he started to play on the subject.

"I heard they were made when certain alchemy, ah…'equation' went wrong." Stein said drawing out equation.

The Elrics sat there trying their best not to react to the bait Stein was laying out for them to take. The subject was a sore one, and Stein not really knowing anything about it didn't help. When unable to make them take it by dragging out the silence he started talking about the little he found in his reading.

"I also heard there made in the image of a person close to the 'alchemist' performing the 'alchemy', of course it's a wonder what exactly this alchemy is." Stein said looking directly at the Elrics in hope of an exposing reaction.

But still none came, or well one that Stein could work off of yet. He knew he was running out of time before he had to take them out to the 'bus' or whatever Signigima-san got for them to ride on. Now the Elrics themselves were having troubles keeping up the façade that they didn't know anything. Stein was skating on very thin ice for them even if he didn't know anything really about it. The staring contest went on for a few more minutes before Stein saw it was time to leave.

* At the Pool *

Maka and Tsubaki were changing into their swimsuits, Maka in a red bikini and Tsubaki in a black and yellow one piece, when they saw Mizuki was still in her normal clothes

"Mizuki aren't you gonna swim?" asked Maka as she finished butting her clothes into her bag

"Ah, no I rather not swim," she said as she started towards the door. "And if you two are done changing how about we head out?" She added with a smile

"Alright," Maka said as she and Tsubaki followed her out where Black*Star and Soul already started a splashing contest and the rest of the school was on the other side away from them having already lost or just didn't want to get involved in it.

"They will never learn will they Tsubaki?" said Maka with a sigh and Tsubaki gave a nod while looking over at Black*Star, hoping he wouldn't be doing anything stupid.

"Oh why does he always do these things?" Tsubaki said as she turned though and headed for the half of the pool not being splashed at.

Maka stood at the edge contemplating wither or not to hit them with a book, or just let them be; unknown to her some of the guys were checking her out in her bikini. This did not go past Soul who suddenly stopped the contest to shoot death giving glares at the guys.

And now Mizuki-can presents to you, the inside of Black*Stars brain

With commentary by:

Kid and

Mizuki + Charas!

~Back*Stars head~

Me: Ok Kid, you're on

Kid: WHY AM I FIRST! AND WHY CAN'T THERE BE 8 PPL! 8 IS A SYMMETRICAL NUMBER! AND WE HAVE ENOUGH!

Me: GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE BEFORE I MAKE YOU!

Kid: Yes m'am…

Kid (still): Ok, because so, um, fortunately for me I get to tell what black*star was, er is (?), thinking…..why can't we be 8 people?...

-Kid doing a bad imitation of Black*Star's voice-

Why did the author not let there be 8 people when-

Melody: Um…sorry we seem to have some technical issues going on now….

Iru: Aka Kid is getting his butt kicked to high heaven.

~BACK TO THE STORY!~

The boys seemed unaware of Soul's glares and continued to stare at Maka; a couple even did a wolf whistle. This caused Maka to blush a shade of red as she suddenly had second thoughts about wearing a bikini.

Mizuki on the other hand found this amazingly funny and had troubles keeping herself from rolling on the floor laughing. All the stares and whistles suddenly stopped when the guys noticed Soul's dark aura getting closer to them.

After that about half the class had to go to the hospital with at least one broken bone and Soul had to sit out for the rest of the trip.

With that done Mizuki found her way to her brothers and sat down as they watched Black*Star try and find a new person to do a splashing contest with, he found no one who would. Maka, having no one stare or give wolf whistles anymore, had eased into the pool and now was doing laps with Tsubaki timing her on the side.

(A/N: Here is where I fail to do MakaxSoul….though it's one-sided right now because we're only seeing Soul… for the first part….Melody hurry and do the chara change -.-)

Mizuki looked over at Soul and saw him staring at Maka as she swam back and forth between the ends of the pool.

"Hey guys. I'll be right back I'ma go tease Soul" Mizuki said as she got up from where her brothers were and walked over to Soul.

"Hey~~ Soul!" Mizuki said as she sat down next to him

Soul looked away from watching Maka in an attempted to make it look like he was staring at the wall the whole time.

"Hey, Soul?" Mizuki asked him

"Nani…?" Soul said as he turned to face her

"Soul do you like Maka?" Mizuki asked him with a sly look in her eyes

"Well of course she is my minster." Soul said as he slightly starting to avoid her eyes

"No no! I mean like like her!" Mizuki said giving him a big smile

A light blush covered Soul cheeks as he turned away from her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"S-s-she's just a close friend!" he said hoping no one could see him blushing

Mizuki put her mouth right next to his ear and was basically in a crawl position on the bench behind him.

"I think you're lying.~" She whispered in is ear causing him to jump off the bench and yell. The people who heard him, and cared enough to look over, (which were basically Maka, Tsubaki, Ed, and Al) started in confusion at the two.

"Soul, why did you scream?" Maka said as she swam to where Soul and Mizuki were and put her arms up on the side of the pool then rested her head on top of them. Soul turned away from Maka and stuffed his hands in his pockets (A/N: Yes his swim trunks have pockets)

"N-none reason…Mizuki just startled me." He shot a quick glare at Mizuki before turning his head away again.

"Hehe, Oh yes I 'startled you'." Mizuki said with a giggle as she got off the bench and start to walk back over to her siblings who were still confusing as to what she did to Soul.

"Sister….what did you do to Soul?" Al asked once she sat down by him again

"Oh nothing much just teased him out something" She said with another giggle

Ed snickered as he looked over at Soul. Whatever she did it broke his 'cool' exterior which, as far as Ed knew, that wasn't an easy thing to do.

Soul however didn't notice her leave and was too busy trying not to look at Maka who had gone back to doing laps. His head was filled with the image of her at the edge of the pool, her wet hair clinging to her face making a frame around it. Her delicate hands just under to chin that was titled in the angle she had her head in. Her worried eyes looking at him making him want to spill everything. Soul knew she kind of had to be worried about him, he was her weapon, but he liked to pretend there was something more behind it. Soul then shook his head getting those thoughts out of it. It was so unlike him to think all that 'lovey-dovey' stuff and it wasn't right anyhow. She and him were weapon and minster, nothing else. Nothing else at all. Or so he told himself; slightly deep down he wanted there to be more than just that, but at the same time he didn't. He was scared of that feeling and wasn't sure what would happen if he ever acted on them.

Meanwhile Maka was trying to get her mind off of Soul. She didn't believe his reason for yelling and wanted to know what was wrong. She dived under the water and twisted underwater to push off the wall. She pushed herself harder in hope that the physical extrusion would get her mind off of Soul. She should trust him, if it was just him being startled then it was just that. Yet as she thought about it, not much made Soul do something as un-cool as that and whatever Mizuki did made him drop it. So, what was it? He was also blushing; as much as he tried to hide it she saw it. Soul NEVER blushed. Well like that at least, his blush was either a dark red, or not there at all. Never that light of a shade of red that he had. It made her wonder what he was thinking. HE DOESN'T LIKE MIZUKI DOES HE? For some reason that thought made her heart hurt, but she shook that feeling off. Soul just meet her there is no way he suddenly just 'loves' her. With that she dunked herself underwater again to turn around and head back to the other side letting her mind only think about what to move to swim. But just before she let that happen she wondered, why did the idea of him liking Mizuki hurt her heart?

Black*Star was bored. REALLY bored. So bored he was about to go crazy. No one could seem to even come close to him in a breath holding contest. No one wanted to do a splashing contest. No one wanted to race him. No one wanted to have an underwater fight, and absolutely NO ONE wanted to bow down to his will! So now he was utterly bored floating on the water trying to see how long he could stay like that, but always lost track of time with other thoughts. Finally he had an idea. He looked over at the Elrics who were talking between themselves about what? Black*Star didn't care all he did care about where these simple facts

They had on no swimsuits

He was bored

They weren't paying attention to him

He was bored

Did I mention he was bored?

So with those in mind he thought of a plan. He was going to go and sneak up behind Mizuki and Ed, then grab them and throw them into the pool making them all wet! Now this wasn't really much of a plan, or a revenge for the multiply wrench attacks, or a good way to get his resentment that he lost the fight, but this is Black*Star who didn't think much about it at all….

This normally wouldn't have been a problem for Ed and Mizuki considering Winry anticipated there automail getting wet from something, but she didn't think they would go for a full-out swim anytime soon so she didn't waterproof the automail to the point where if they wanted to, they could swim ocean. Unfortunately Ed and Mizuki didn't know this. For if they did, they might have actually tried to get out of his grasp. Here was the hard part for Black*Star. He spent the time swimming to a area out of their view, which was hard considering they took a sudden interest in him for the strange (well strange for Black*Star) behavior. It took him awhile before they finally stopped caring (or well it felt like awhile to Black*Star who had gotten very bored swimming slowly around) about him and started talking among themselves again. Here came the next hard part for Black*Star he needed to somehow get in a position without then seeing, or if they did see him, not have any suspicion aroused in them. He got out of the water and made for his towel.

Black*Star's Check List

Get out of the water without them seeing. CHECK

He wrapped his towel around his shoulders after drying his hair and looked around to see if anyone was watching him. No one was which was good. Step two was to get closer to the Elrics without making them notice. That was the easiest part of this plan, next to getting out of the water. Why he didn't want to be seen though was because chances where they would watch him to see what he was doing and even though he is the 'great' Black*Star! Even he couldn't think of something to do long enough to get them to look away. Moving back to his plan, he started around the pool over to where Soul was as if going to talk to him. Black*Star hadn't really thought of a conversation to have with him but lucky for him Soul was too deep in thought about something still to even see him coming towards him. After reaching Soul he paused a minute as going to say hi, but instead moved on when he was sure the Elrics weren't paying any attention to him.

Black*Star's Check List

Get over to their side of the pool without them, or anyone else really, having any suspicion. CHECK

He started walking away from Soul going straight trying to make it look like he forgot what he was going to say. He looked around and by the looks of it Lady Luck was on his side for, Sid, A Zombie teacher with a hole in his head, was a behind and a little bit in front of the Elrics' bench. He made his way to him making it look like he wanted to talk him into letting Soul come back into the pool. This part had to be the most believable just in case the Elrics for some unknown reason did have any suspicion about him disappear. He walked up to Sid and stopped in front of him.

"Sid can Soul come back in the pool yet?" Black*Star basically whined to him.

"No Black*Star Soul cannot go back in because he sent almost all of the guys to the hospital." Sid told him with an exasperated sigh. Sid had really hoped that Black*Star wouldn't come and whine to him about Soul not being able to go back in the pool.

Black*Star had planned to walk away at this point but chose to continue thinking maybe he might also be able to get Soul able to swim again

"But Sid, It's not Soul's fault!" Black*Star whined back at him

"Oh really? And how is it now Black*Star?" Sid said raising his eyebrow

"Because those guys were weak!" Black*Star told him in a matter-of-fact voice

Sid just sighed and was about to go into a lecture about how they weren't weak, Soul was just stronger than they were when Black*Star suddenly said, "You know what never mind your right he should stay out." And left before Sid could start his lecture. Sid got confused at this and it left him in a slight shell shock position unable to make a clear thought. This worked well for Black*Star in that Sid wasn't going to be watching him and wouldn't be able to react fast enough when he started his 'prank'.

Black*Star's Check List

Get behind the Elrics. WORK IN PROGRESS

Black*Star started walking a little faster so to get there before Sid got his thoughts back together. The Elrics on the other hand has long since forgotten about him after his got out of the pool and went back to trying to figure out how Sid was well, 'alive', they automatically crossed off human transmutation being that the outcome was normally a homunculus and not a zombie, and none of the 7 deadly sins could, or would, look like a zombie let alone teach kids how to fight witches. Al was about to tell them to give up trying to solve it when, (A/N: Anyone have any idea how it could be explained in a alchemy way btw?) all of freaken hell broke loose. Black*Star had jumped over Al and had grabbed Ed and Mizuki's pony tails in the process and ran about half-way to the pool before swinging his arms as hard as he could, towards where the pool was deeper, releasing their pony tails in the process. It was like slow motion to everyone. Mizuki was yelling so many curse words that it could have made anybody blush. While Ed on the other hand was still trying to figure out what was going on his was so deep in thought about the zombie thing that he didn't even know Black*Star had grabbed him till he had been thrown and was about to hit the water which caused him to start yelling curse word but was cut off by the water. On the other hand to Al's point of view he could feel his anger boiling up in him at Black*Star for doing that but also worry for his brother and sister who were both going to get really wet. Although none of them ever thought that what was going to happen next would. It all happened really fast to Ed and Mizuki, as soon as they hit the water they knew something was wrong. Their arms weren't moving, neither was their left leg. They struggled to get up but there automail limbs had turned into dead weight and had by now dragged them to the bottom of the pool.

Black*Star on the other hand was rolling on the side of the pool laughing, Sid who had come to his senses right when Black*Star threw them was coming over to drag him away from the pool and lecture him when in a slight fight of rage, Al placed his foot on the side of Black*Star when he rolled on his side and pushed him with his foot causing him to roll all the way into the pool. Let's just say that stopped his laughing. (A/N: NO HE IS NOT DEAD! Just out cold and no worries Tsubaki got him out) Al then ran along the side of the pool and looked out as far as he dared to see why his brother and sister hadn't come up ready to kill Black*Star. He could just barely make them out at the bottom of the pool kicking with their non-automail arms like crazy and looking like they were going to need air soon. Suddenly Al remembered what Winery said the last time they got there automail arms fixed

~Flashback~

"Now I'm out of the waterproof seal that I use on your limbs so you're going to have to deal with it just being resistant so don't go swimming, you hear me?" Winery said while cleaning her tools

Both his brother and sister had just grunted in response too busy thinking of how to get back at the person who destroyed their limbs. Al sighed at his brother and sister as he was coming into the room. He had only just heard what Winery had said and was also more focused on how his brother and sister should pay more attention.

~End of Flashback~

Al stared in wide-eyed horror at the fact his brother and sister were going to drown. DROWN. The word just rang in his head he didn't even hear other people around start yelling when they didn't come up, didn't see Maka start to swim over to try and help them he acted on impulse. He clapped his hands together and slammed them down on the ground. Blue electricity crackled in and out of the ground as it made its way towards his brother and sister. People stared wide eyed for once the electricity reached them the floor of the pool shot up with them on it, they came up coughing and sputtering with Mizuki spouting a curse word here and there. Everyone just looked wide eyed at Al, for that was where the electricity originated from. For awhile no one moved they all just stared. Maka, who was flouted just near the tower of stone that had Ed and Mizuki on it, took a minute to think about wither to climb up or not. The 'tower' wasn't that far up from the water, high enough though that if you were right next to it, which she was, you couldn't completely see Ed and or Mizuki mostly just there neck; although it was low enough that she could reach out and grab on to the edge to climb up. She took a minute b4 grabbing onto the edge and haling herself up on top of it. Ed and Mizuki were both still coughing getting whatever water they swallowed out of there system, though for some reason there right arm and left leg weren't moving (A/N: I have no idea if it's right or wrong, I spent too much time not writing this and not watching FMA if it's wrong feel free to complain until I fix it) Even as Ed doubled over to get a cough out his right arm didn't move from where it was on the tower. She was about to ask when the doors to the pool area burst open and in came the Elrics' mom and dad along with Sid who must have called them sometime before she got up on the tower. Their mom ran over to the edged and jump onto the tower and started tending as well as she could to Ed and Mizuki. Their dad however was walking over to Al, who looked like a trunk had ran over him, and started talking to him. At first it looked like he was angry but when Al looked at him with watery eyes he sighed and seemed to say something like it's ok, and awkwardly ruffled his hair.

The Coronel was annoyed. Not only had Al used alchemy but if he and Riza couldn't get Ed and Mizuki out of the pool area just right there automail would be found out. Maybe they could explain the alchemy in a way they would understand…..Oh what was he thinking there was no way to explain it in a way without really telling what is was, then everything else would have to be explained…It was better to just get them out asap and hope it all dies down. He would have to tell Al to act dumb to what had happened, people would then think he really didn't know what happened and make their own theories at to what had happened. Perfect. He turned his thoughts into how they were going to get Ed and Mizuki out. They couldn't carry them…..or could they? He slightly jogged over to the edge closest to the tower and jumped onto it.

Maka watches as the Coronel bent down to where Mizuki's and Ed's head were and whisper something to them. Whatever it was they did not agree to it reluctantly but still did. Then their dad and mom picked them up and carried them out of the room with Al trudging along behind them.

There was silence as they walked down the hall except for the cough that still ever so often came from Mizuki and or Ed. They all knew that the chances of them not being asked what happened was next to nothing, there also was the fact Winrey was going to have to come here (They can't go to her because it would be kinda hard to explain why they left) and possibly stay for awhile considering who knows what damage was done to Ed and Mizuki's arm and leg. Mustang let out a sigh and tried to think of a way to break the tension that had engulfed all of them, nothing came to mind. Ed on the other hand was too busy worried about what Winrey would say the minute she found out about what happened to his and Mizuki's arm. Chances where both of them were going to get the wrench along with a VERY long speech about how they should take better care of their automail AND pay more attention to her, which, all things considered, would have been a good thing to have done because it might have prevented this. He looked over at Mizuki who was still seething about getting thrown into the pool while her guard was down although he could see the slight fear in the back of her eyes at the fact that the wrench she had been using to hit others in the head with would soon be in lodged into her head. Ed sighed at the fact all they had to do was make to the end of the hallway back home then one phone call and then comes dents in the head.

Oh Joy.

Although most of the time nothing goes as planned does it?
