Finally, Envy thought, finally, my own home!

Today, Envy was standing in front of his new apartment. Yes, he had moved from Roy's house, which made him very relieved. Stayed in Roy's house for a few days is fine, but stayed in one month was a nightmare.

No, it's not because Roy was sucks or anything. Envy was quite able to accept his personality. The real problem was, his house incredibly cluttered like HELL! Envy wasn't a tidy person too, but, banana peel on bathroom floor? How the earth it can be happen? Envy slipped on that damned banana peel last week, causes his head hit the potty, and totally ruined it. If Envy wasn't homunculus, he would be rushed to the hospital because of extreme concussion. And, if you can believe, this was what Roy said when he saw that accident:

"NOOO! You ruined my stuff again!"

What a heartless pyromaniac.

Well, you can guess what happened next. War of big stones attack, broken wall, and flame. That's not the first accident, but that was the worst. After that, Edward and friends decided to moved Envy from Roy's house before they end up killing each other because of something like that damned banana peel.

"Well, I don't blame you for that accident," said Edward to Envy after he explored Roy's house. "I'm only exploring this house once, and I've tripped over a table lamp, slipped on a book, and hit by a suitcase in the kitchen! Man, this house is more dangerous than a minefield! "

So, here now Envy.

Envy was just about to enter his house, when suddenly he heard someone running from his right side. Then he saw a black dog running in front of him, followed by a little girl with light brown hair.

"Hayate, come here! Come here and have lun-KYAAA!"

She slipped, and Envy reflexively bent to hold her right before she hit the ground.

Slipped, Envy thought, maybe I'll find out how many people die because of the accident.

"Uuh, thank you . . ." The little girl stood back up, and saw Envy.

"Waaah . . !" Her eyes widened in excitement.

Huh? What's up?

She pointed towards Envy, and then she said in a loud, cheerful voice,

...

"A palm-tree headed guy!"

Whaa-!

"HOW DARE YOU CALLED ME PALM-TREE HEAD YOU LITTLE BAST-"

"Elysia? Where are you?" Said a soft, motherly voice, "Stop pursuing Hayate, dear. Ah, there you are!"

Envy turned toward the voice.
And faced with Gracia.

She is-

Envy was frozen in his place.

Telephone box. Drops of blood. Envy knew that once he turned around, he would immediately attack him.
And then he saw something lying on the ground.
Family photo. Perfect.
Horror on his face when he turned around, really gave Envy satisfaction.

Gun sound echoed in the night air.

"Mama, this palm-tree headed guy is our new neighbor!"

"Sshh! Don't call people 'palm tree', Elysia. It's impolite." Gracia said, although when she saw Envy's hair, she secretly agreed with her daughter.

Meanwhile, Envy was still frozen in shock.

She was Hughes's wife.

"You've come today, haven't you? I see you picking up your stuff with Edward and Al this morning. So you're a new friend of those Elric brothers?" Gracia asked with smile. Then she noticed Envy's strange expression, almost like fear.

"Are you okay? You didn't seem well."

"No." Envy replied. He walked into his house.

"Oh, wait. When you're feeling a bit better, I would like to invite you to lunch. But it's okay if you want to rest first."

Envy just waved his hand and went into the house.

"Strange guy." Gracia thought with a little worried.


Pheww! Second chapter! Actually, I never planned this as a continued story. Blame plot-bunnies in my head for this inconsistent XD.

But, for a Humor/Drama genre, I think this story becomes a bit too serious at the end of this chapter (^ ^;). Err, what do you think?

Please review and suggestion.
