So, this is my attempt at a second chapter... I hope you like it.

Anyway, I think I have a plot for this story now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or the characters... T^T

Ed woke with a start. He tried sitting up, only to fall back into the pillow he was laying on. He sighed as he twisted his head to the right. His whole arm was gone!

"Winry's gonna kill me," he moaned. Slowly he manuvered himself so he could use his remaining arm to lift himself up. He awkwardly positioned himself against the head of the bed. He looked around slowly, taking in his surroundings. He groaned as he realized he was in a hospital. Again. He glared venomously at the plain white walls. There was no way they were keeping him here. Hurriedly he swung his legs off the bed, shivering at the cold tile floor. He took a deep breath and stood up, taking a shaky step forward. He immediately regretted it, as the whole room began to spin. He reached out to try and find something to grasp onto, but he was met with just thin air. He tumbled to the floor in a heap. Suddenly the door flew open, revealing a very concerned looking Mustang. His onyx eyes automatically fell to his subordinate lying on the floor.

"F-Fullmetal?" He placed a gloved hand over his mouth, trying not to laugh as Ed glared up at him. Quickly he composed himself, clearing his throat.

"What are you doing down there," he asked innocently. Ed scowled at him.

"Oh, shut up. I fell," he growled. Roy frowned, all kidding aside, as he walked up to him. He offered his hand out, which Ed gratefully took, and hoisted him to his feet. Ed clutched tightly to his arm as he balanced himself out.

"Are you okay?" Ed frowned as he stared at the Colonel. He was looking at him in concern. Wait, the jerk was concerned?

"Yeah. Thanks," he replied quietly. Slowly, he made his way back over to the bed and sat down.

"So, how long till I get out this time?"

"A few days. If you're nice, maybe I can get you out earlier," Roy said, smirking at the now scowling alchemist. They sat in awkward silence for a while.

"Fullmetal, uh, how much do you remember about our mission," he asked suddenly, shuffling his feet slightly.

"Well, not much. It's all kind of a blur. I remember drowning- er, well, almost drowning. Then I woke up and you were crying-" He smirked at him. "- I called you..." He stopped, eyes widening. Oh god, had he really said that? To Mustang of all people?! He blushed, shaking his head frantically. No, that jerk was not his father! He didn't have a father anymore!

"Er... nevermind. Then I woke up here," he said with a shrug, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Well, the doctor said there would be some slight amnesia," he muttered mostly to himself. He looked at Ed.

"Are you feeling okay? You're not dizzy, or nauseous? Are you tired," he asked worriedly. Ed quirked an eyebrow.

"I'm fine! See? Now can I leave," he asked impatiently. Roy sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose in irritation. This kid never wanted to stay still! Even after he had nearly died!

"Yes, Fullmetal, you can leave... under one condition. You have to stay with me for a while," he said. He mentally counted off the seconds. Three, two, one...

"What?! Why?! I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself! Why do I have to stay with you," he demanded furiously. Roy cringed. He had some set of lungs.

"Doctor's orders. You can't be by yourself for a while, and since Alphonse is in Resembool right now, you're stuck with me," he explained. He knew Al probably would've been far more qualified with handling his brother, but he couldn't. The only reason he wasn't here now with his brother, was because train travel had been temporarily banned, otherwise Roy was sure he would've been the first one here.

"I don't need a baby-sitter," Ed protested as he hopped off the bed. He swayed slightly.

"Clearly," Roy said sarcastically as he went to assist the boy before he fell on his face. Ed pushed him away with a growl.

"I don't need your help," he snapped. Roy ignored him as he grabbed his arm and tugged him over to the bed, forcing him to sit again.

"You obviously do. Now suck up your pride and let me help you! It won't be for very long, just until your brother is able to come back to Central," he retorted.

"Besides, what much can you do without your arm," he pointed out. Ed flinched. He knew he was right. Without his arm, he was helpless. He needed his automail.

"Fine," he groaned. Roy smirked. Well, that was easier than he thought it would be. He hadn't even needed to get the lieutenant involved.

"But don't expect me to be happy about it." Roy raised his hands in defense. He didn't expect that his stay would be easy. He sighed, but as long as the boy was safe, he didn't mind too much.

I don't really like this chapter, but I hope it was ok. Next chapter should hopefully be better. This was more filler than anything else.

Note: The reason for the trains being banned will be revealed next chapter.

Please review! :)

Peace out!
