Hey, people actually liked it! :) Glad to see people reading my stories.

"Hey, Lieutenant," Mustang said nervously.
Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye stood in the door way, not in the brightest mood "you are to finish your paperwork right now!"
Mustang flinched while gesturing to everyone around the room. "What about them?"
"Send them away," Hawkeye demanded, "there's no parties going on during work hours!"
"This is not a party!" Mustang protested. "I have no idea who they are!"
"Hey!" Lavi called out. "We introduced ourselves!"
Edward nodded. "See?"
Hawkeye sighed. "Okay, why are they here, then?"
Mustang turned to all of the new faces. "I want to have answers by the end of the hour from everyone!" As he spoke he threw an accusing glare towards Edward.
"What," the blond questions, "I had nothing to do with this!"
Mustang ignored him. "You there!" he jabbed a finger towards Allen. "You start."
"Why me?" Allen asked, surprised that the attention was thrown at him.
Mustang rose an eyebrow. "Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I said so!"
"That's not an answer."
"Yes it is."
"No it's not!"
"Sure it is," Mustang stated smugly.
"Nuh-uh!"
Then maturely, Mustang replied, "Yah-huh!"
Allen balled his hands into fists. "Wanna go?"
Mustang smirk digging in his pockets for his beloved gloves. "Really? You want to fight me?"
"Bring it old man!"
Mustang tensed. "I'M NOT OLD!"
"Actually," Lenalee voiced in before things got out of hand, "I'll start, if that's not a problem."
Once Mustang and the rest of them put their attention on her, she began her long and tiresome story of how they got there. It took so long in fact, that it was a mere seconds later that she finally finished.
Both Mustang and Edward gave confused, blank stare towards Lenalee. "Wait, that's it?" Edward asked. "You don't know?"
Lenalee and Allen nodded. "Yep!"
"Well that was anticlimactic…" Lavi commented.
Miranda nodded. "Very."
Mustang ignored them. "So, what do you plan to do?"
"Eat all your food…" Lavi whispered beneath his breath towards Miranda.
Allen shot the redhead a glare that did not go unnoticed. Laci shied away from the white-haired boy who was becoming angrier and angrier by the second.
"Are you trying to say that I eat too much?" Allen demanded, slowly and menacingly. "Do you think that I'm fat!?"
Lavi shook his head vigorously. "NO! I didn't mean it!"
"Are you sure?" Allen continued as he stepped closer.
"Yes! Yes I'm sure!" Lavi screeched as Allen reached an arm out. "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Lavi clung onto the nearest person for dear life. Which, was almost Miranda, but she had backed as soon Lavi went for her. Leaving the next nearest person—that was the fast approaching Allen—to be clung to. Much to Lavi's horror, it was Kanda. And he wasn't looking too happy.
By the time Lavi realized his mistake, it was too late. He began his mad sprint around the room, screeching like a girl. Both Allen and Kanda were close behind the terrified redhead until the poor guy almost ran into a raised pistol being held by the strict looking Hawkeye.
Mustang watched with awe as his lieutenant rose her weapon towards the three. She didn't even flinch when Kanda had unsheathed his own weapon. A sword.
"Put it down!" Hawkeye commanded, pressing her finger in front of the trigger.
Lavi swallowed as most of his friends tensed.
Before anything else happened, Alphonse waved his hands. "No, Lieutenant Hawkeye! He doesn't mean any harm!"
Mustang shook his head. Leave it to Alphonse to get in the middle of a fight.
"He rose his weapon," Hawkeye said, not lowering her weapon.
"You raised your weapon first!" Lavi shouted with his arms raised in surrender.
She glanced at Kanda with unaffected eyes as she sent a questioning glance to her superior. Mustang gave a light, but commanding shake of his head. With a sigh, Hawkeye returned the gun to its rightful place. Though, she kept a close eye on the long-haired boy as she stepped back.
Mustang sighed in annoyance, tired of the interruptions. "What do you really plan to do?"
He sat in his desk, gesturing impatiently for the almost unwanted guest to sit down. Everyone, except Edward, Alphonse, and Hawkeye took a seat on the two couches that were in the room. For a few minutes all of the new faces gave some thought on the question.
With a shrug, Lenalee was the one to speak. "I guess the only thing we can do is find a way back home."
"What about shelter?" Miranda quietly questioned. "It will take a few days, right?"
The instant the question was asked, everyone paused. Everyone was left in a confused silence while they tried to figure out what to do.
Suddenly, Mustang smirked and looked to his youngest subordinate. "Oh, Edward!"
Mustang didn't have to say anything else. Edward glared. "Nope! Not happening! No way!"
"Come on, Edward—"
"Why are you calling me Edward?"
Mustang paused. He had been calling him Edward hasn't he? "It's your name, right?"
"So you do know what my name is!" Edward exclaimed as if it was something surprising.
"Duh!"
"I thought you only knew me as Fullmetal!"
Miranda rose her hand shyly. "Why are you called Fullmetal?"
"Yeah," Lavi piped in, "are you made of metal?"
Allen jabbed the redhead with his elbow. "Does he look like a robot to you?"
"No…" Lavi pouted. "Why are you so mean to me?"
"I'm not!"
"You just elbowed me!"
"Why are you called Fullmetal?" Lenalee asked, ignoring Allen and Lavi as they continued to bicker.
Edward paused as he thought for a second. "Because my alchemy specializes with earth-like materials, which generally have metals in them."
"Alchemy…?" Allen and Lavi asked, both pinching the other's cheeks and/or nose.
"You don't know what alchemy is?" Edward asked. When they shook their heads, Edward tried his best to explain.
"So," Lavi began after Edward explained, "you're a wizard?"
"No!" Edward objected.
"But its magic," Lavi pressed.
"It's not magic, it's alchemy," Edward said.
"I doubt that…"
Edward sighed angrily. "It's not magic! It's alchemy, which is a science!"
"Which is magic."
"It's not—!"
"Excuse me," Lenalee interrupted, "but we were discussing a place to stay for the time being."
Mustang smiled smugly when Edward stopped his arguing to glare at him. "Right, Fullmetal here would be happy to provide a place to stay."
"What!?"
"Really?" Miranda exclaimed happily.
"No!" Edward shouted. "We have no room for guests! We do live in the Military dorms, remember?"
"Then bring them to Resembool," Mustang easily replied.
"That's a three day train ride and I don't think Winry and Pinako would like it if we just dropped a bunch of strangers in their house."
"That's why we introduce them," Mustang replied, recalling earlier.
"I don't trust them," Edward stated, crossing his arms.
"Why not?" Allen asked.
Edward reached his hand up as if he was counting as he spoke, "One, Kanda has a sword, two, Lavi is…too energetic—,"
"What?" Lavi interjected.
Edward ignored him as he held up a third finger. "Three, we don't even know them very well, and four they're wearing creepy uniforms!"
"Deal with it," Mustang commanded.
"No, find them another place to stay!"
"You are to take them to Resembool. That's an order, Fullmetal!"
"I hate you."
xXx
"Who's Winry and Pinako? Where's Resembool? When's the train going to get here? Is it colder there? Why are you so grumpy? Do you hate me? Are you ignoring—?"
"Will you SHUT UP!" Edward screamed at the curious redhead.
"Brother!" Alphonse cried out at his brother's rudeness. "Calm down, he's just curious."
Edward groaned, but turned to the five who were to be staying at the house in Resembool. "Winry is my mech—um—friend, Pinako is her grandma, and Resembool is a three day trip by train."
"Oh and I just heard the train!" Alphonse cheered.
"Are you guys going to stay there too?" Lenalee asked.
The two brothers nodded. "Colonel gave me a two week vacation for this."
"Wait, are you saying that you're actually pat of the military?" Allen wondered.
"Yeah, I thought you already knew," Edward responded.
"Aren't you a little…young?"
Edward twitched angrily. "DON'T CALL ME LITTLE!"
"Brother, he didn't say that!" Alphonse insisted.
"Brat," Kanda grumbled, ever the silent one.
"What did you say!?" Edward screamed.
"Che," Kanda sighed, already heading for the slowing train with the others.
"C'mon brother," Alphonse said, waving his older brother over, "the train's here!"
Everyone headed off for the train, leaving behind the angry blond. "Hey! Wait up! Al!"
There you have it. Keep in mind, I'm not trying to be technical with anything. So characters will be OoC.
Anyways, review and have a wonderful day! :) I look forward to writing more!
