Disclaimer: I don't own the creative rights of the Fullmetal Alchemist series, that's the most that can be said about it...

So, before we start off this chapter, I want to thank the people who are so far following this story. I do have more FanFictions in store for the future, but that's for discussion for another day, but I will keep this story going until I feel it's had enough details in it, no more major events, you know, all that stuff. That means the story will keep going on until the end. So, anyway, this chapter takes place the day after the previous one, so, I thought that was worth noting.

Now, without any delay, here's the next chapter, I hope that you readers enjoy it.

Note: Each chapter will have a different name, and the name of the character whose view the story is coming from, I just wanted to mention that.

Chapter 2: From Dusk to Dawn (Ed's POV)

"Bbbbrrrriiinnnnnggggg!" Goes my Alarm Clock, only to wake me up from a nice sleep.

I turn it off, get out of bed, and walk to my kitchen, and make myself some toast. I stand by the counter, thinking, "I hope mom gets better soon."

Al, my brother, and I, we live in a different situation compared to other families in our area. My father is a lawyer, which makes him busy most of the time, so he can only supply us with money when he returns from work for about three days.

As for my mom, she's in a coma, how it happened is beyond me, but I can only hope she wakes up soon.

As I think, Al is walking towards me, and says, "Good morning, Big Brother."

"Good morning, Al." I say.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks.

"Yeah, why?" I ask.

"Well, recently, you've been acting a bit weird, you know, since mom went into that coma and all..." He states concerned.

It's tough, yeah, but I need to act strong, for my brother. What to say? Hm...I know!

"Al, it's okay. I'm fine, really." I say with a fake smile.

Al smiles back and says, "If you say so. Ed! Tomorrow's the first day of school!"

"So?" I shrug.

"So, remember what we discussed yesterday, we need to go to the store and get some extra school supplies!"

He states, grabbing a slice of cheese.

"Oh, right. Where do you want to go?" I ask, eating my toast.

"How about we go to that new supermarket, Chopper's Marker?" He asks.

"You mean the one run by that mad man, Barry?!" I ask, almost yelling.

"That's just a rumour, it's never been proven that he killed anyone." He states wisely.

"I don't want to take any chances..." I say quietly.

Al sighs and says, "Fine, how about we go to the Central Mall?"

"That sounds much better, Al." I say relieved.

"Okay, grab your bus pass in an hour, Ed. That's when we'll go." He states.

"Right." I say.

An hour and a half later...

We got to the mall by bus, I mean I can't drive, I'm only 15 and Al's only 14 so, we have bus passes, given to us by our father.

"So, I'm going to get some new clothes, Big brother. If you need me, look at Jay's Clothes Department, okay?"Says Al.

"Okay. I'll be in Target getting some school supplies and maybe a candy bar." I say.

"Okay, see you in 30 minutes!" He says, and walks away towards Jay's.

Well, I'm ending this chapter here. We're going to Envy's point of view in the next chapter and he'll tell you what's going on through his view again.

By the way, I'm sorry for the delay on posting this chapter, school can get in my way. So, to make up for it, I'll post two chapters per week. One on Wednesday, and one on Saturday! I promise! Until this Saturday, here's a gift, a fresh plate of brownies!

So, see ya readers again Saturday, and I hope you are enjoying this story so far, and I will keep my promise! Take care, everyone.
