"So.. You can't remember anything? Nothing at all?" Ed asked, leaning back in his chair. I looked at Jenna and together we shook our heads. He placed a hand on his chin thoughtfully, and looked to his brother for help.

"Well, what can you remember?"

I had absolutely no idea how to respond to this, but Jenna was one step ahead, like always.

"We live far away. I remember that. And when I say far away, I mean far away. I.. I don't remember what the town was called though.." Jenna looked down for dramatic effect, and looking at the brothers' faces, I could tell that it was working.

"And there was a man named Envy.. He tried to kill us, and he almost killed me, as you can tell. That's the last thing I remember. Being stabbed. The next thing I know, I wake up in a hospital far away from where ever we were." I laughed awkwardly. Ed nodded slowly and then looked Jenna.

"Is there anything you can remember between Envy attacking you and being in the hospital?"

Jenna shook her head. Ed sighed and scratched his chin. Then he looked up, confused.

"Why was he trying to kill you two?"

I looked at Jenna, trying to ask her silently if we should tell them about her power. She just shrugged, and nodded slightly. "He wanted to know which one of us was the alchemist."

Ed's brow furrowed deeper, and he leaned on his knees. "But that makes no sense. Envy isn't one to just kill someone because they're an alchemist. There has to be something deeper here.. something that we don't know about."

I wondered for a moment if we should tell them about the mysterious red stone, but I decided that it was her call if she wanted to tell them or not. I would just keep my mouth shut and let her do the talking.

"We don't really know why he tried either. Out of all the alchemist in the world, why me?" Jenna asked, sighing.

"So you are the alchemist?" Al asked. Jenna nodded in reply. "Is Ashley one too?" Ed added. I shook my head.

"Nope. I'm just me. A plain Jane."

Al cocked his head in confusion. "But I thought you said your name was Ashley?"

I looked up surprised, and Jenna tried to hold back her laugh. I smiled at the innocent boy. "It was just an expression. My name isn't actually Jane."

Al seemed to think about this for a minute and then nodded, finally understanding. I laughed and shook my head slightly, when I felt a sharp pang in my stomach. But it wasn't pain from the wound.

"Uh, I need to go to the restroom.." I told Jenna quietly. She nodded, then looked around. I was confused as to what she was looking for, but I heard her say "Aha!" quietly, and she grabbed something. Turning around and grinning, she held out a bedpan.

"There ya go!"

I felt my face flush as I snatched the bedpan and placed it on the table. "Never in a million years would I ever use one of those. Here, help me out of bed." I held out my hand for my friend.

I heard a groan, and saw her rolling over so her face was buried in the pillow. "Nahh, I'm too lazy. You can manage."

Getting angry, I grabbed the bedpan from the table and was just about to smack her with it when a strong arm grabbed mine and stopped me from possibly giving my friend a concussion.

I looked up and began shouting, "Hey! Why'd you do th-" It took me a few seconds to fully register Ed's grinning face. Blushing, I dropped the bedpan and looked away.

"C'mon. Let's get you to the bathroom before you pee your pants. That would be bad." Ed said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and slowly helping me up.

"Yeah, brother would know all about that!" Al exclaimed. Jenna and I burst into laughter, and Ed's face turned a bright red.

"It was one time Al! ONE TIME!" He then realized what he just admitted and blushed even deeper. "Forget I said that.."

"OH MY GOSH!" Al exclaimed again, sounding rather frightened. Ed let go of me quickly, almost knocking me down, and ran over to his little brother.

"What is it Al?" He asked frantically. Al was quiet for a moment, then said slowly, "There's.. There's someone in this world you're taller than brother! It's a miracle!" I frowned as I realized he was talking about me. Okay, so I was 5 foot! Ed was only 5'2 at the most, so he was pretty shrimpy too!

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL HE COULD DROWN IN A RAINDROP?" Ed exploded, pointing a finger at his brother. Jenna and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Someone's a little insecure.." Jenna mused, grinning at Ed, who got even angrier.

"You're insecure, don't know what for.. You're turning heads when you walk through the door," I sung to myself quietly, swaying slightly. Jenna looked over at me, and a huge grin spread across her face.

"Don't need makeup, to cover up. Being the way that you are is enough."

At this point, Ed and Al were staring at us, Ed looking very confused.

"Everyone else in the room can see it-"

"Everyone else but you!" Jenna pointed at Ed as she sang, making him blush.

"BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBODY ELSE, THE WAY THAT YOU FLIP YOUR HAIR GETS ME OVERWHELMED!"

"THE WAY YOU SMILE AT THE GROUND, IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL!"

Jenna and I both danced our way over to the brothers, me ignoring the pain in my stomach, and continued to sing loudly and horribly. Jenna began to serenade Al, who stood there unmoving as my crazy friend danced around him singing.

"YOU DON'T KNOW, OH OH-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL! OH OH-" I pointed at Ed, dancing awkwardly around him the best I could with my stupid stomach.

"THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL!" We sang the last part in unison, both striking odd poses. I opened my eyes slowly, and laughed at the sight before me. Al and Ed were both frozen to their spot, not saying a word. Ed had the stupidest look on his very red face. Al was the first to snap out of it.

"What just happened brother?" He asked slowly and quietly. It took Ed a minute to finally reply. "I-I don't know.."

Jenna and I grinned at each other, and high-fived. I suddenly remembered that I really had to pee, and I jumped and grabbed Ed's shoulders and began shaking him roughly, scaring the poor guy.

"WHERE IS THE BATHROOM? I MUST GO! I HAVE TO TINKLE!"

"D-down the hall to your right!" He said, pointing down the hall. I gave him a quick hug.

"YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE. AND MY BLADDER!" I shouted, and began walking as fast as I could down the hall.

Even from as far away as I was, I could hear Ed's voice. "That was really weird.."

XxXxX

I was cleared to leave the hospital a little while later, once I convinced the doctor I was okay. In all honesty, I wasn't totally okay, I just really disliked hospitals.

The city was huge, and it was so amazing. I then realized that I had no idea where we were, or what episode we were in. If was anything after episode 5, I had no idea what the hell was gonna happen.

"Uh, where are we exactly?" I asked Al, looking up at him. He was so tall! It wasn't fair.

"We're in East City."

I nodded, and looked at Jenna. She just shook her head, and that told me that she didn't recognize it either. We walked in silence for awhile, and that got really boring really fast. I needed some way to entertain myself.

"East City bitch, East East City bitch.." I sang softly to myself. Jenna smiled and sang along, and we kept singing that verse over and over again, mainly because we weren't creative enough to come up with a second line.

Al shook his head and Ed looked at us confused. "Do you guys do that often?"

I thought about it for a minute and then nodded. "Yup. Pretty much."

Ed groaned and I heard Al chuckle. Grinning, I just shrugged and kept on singing.

"Alright, we're here. Maybe you guys should stay out here.. Hey! Where are you guys going?" Ed asked, as he saw that we were already halfway up to the large building.

"Going in, duh! It's cold out here!" Jenna said, like it was the simplest thing in the world.

"But wait! You guys can't-"

"Don't even bother brother. It's too much work." Al said as he passed his brother. Ed just sighed and nodded.

Jenna and I eventually let Ed and Al take the lead, seeing as we had no idea where we were going. We walked down a long hallway and stopped in front of a door.

Before Ed could open the door, there was a loud meow, and it seemed to be coming from the large suit of armor next to me. I looked up, and I could practically see Al sweatdrop. Ed turned around slowly, looking angry.

"Al. I thought I told you to get rid of that damn cat!" He growled. If looks could kill a large suit of armor.. well, Al would be dead by now.

Al said nothing, and then suddenly took off running down the hall. Even after he disappeared, we could hear the loud crying noises and the thunks of his armor. Ed smacked his forehead, but it didn't look like he was about to chase after his brother. Jenna sighed and glared at Ed.

"I'll go see if he's okay," and with that, she took off running after him. Ed sighed, looked at me, and then pushed open the door.

The man sitting at the desk before us, surrounded by paperwork, was enough to make any girl swoon. He was the definition of tall, dark and handsome. Looking up at the sound of the door opened, I had to hold back my fangirlish squeal. A small smirk played at the edge of his lips when he saw Ed.

"Wow, Ed. You really have made some bang for our buck," Mustang said, standing up.

"Don't start that with me, okay? You're the one who told me to go to Liore for a Stone that turned out to be fake!" Ed pointed, raising his voice a bit. Mustang leaned on his desk and crossed his arms.

Damn that man is sexy.. Whoa what am I saying? Am I crazy? .. No, I'm not. He's sexy.

"That's true," Mustang said, raising his eyebrows, "but I didn't ask you to unseat their favorite prophet."

"Yeah, and now a town ripe for uprising is under the rule of the military again," Ed thought about it for a minute, "Wait a minute! Is that what you were planning all along?"

Something flashed in Mustang's eyes, and for the slightest second he lost his composure. He then regained his smirk and changed the subject.

"You know I've heard an odd rumor about Xenotime, and its land baron, Mugear. Apparently he's missing, and his mansion collapsed."

"Yeah Xenotime, now where is that again? That's a city, right?" Ed asked. Again, Mustang didn't answer.

"Maybe I should have you file a report on the Red Water, too. I almost forgot. We had a little inquiry from a detective in Aquroya. So tell me. Is it true Psiren's a real ''ten'' under the mask?"

Ed rolled his eyes, clearing getting annoyed. "So you know everything I do, is that what you're trying to tell me? Great, I'm glad we had this talk."

The colonel sighed and stood up straight. "Settle down, Edward. You could at least look like you're following orders."

Ed stood up, getting angry now. "Why, so I can turn into another one of your toadies? We've got other objectives, you know."

Mustang laughed, but nobody cracked a joke. "Like the Philosopher's Stone? It's been three years, and you haven't gotten any closer."

Oh. Ouch.

Ed stood up, almost knocking down the chair from the force."I'm going to find it, no matter what!" He was breathing heavily. I placed a hand on his shoulder, and he seemed to calm down a bit.

"Colonel, tell me if the name Marcoh rings any bells for you. He's a doctor and alchemist who showed up in Xenotime with no background, five years ago. Apparently he cured the poisoning caused by the red water, which no one else could do, using some kind of alchemy. You always seem to know a little about everything, and the military's bound to have a file on someone that skilled."

Mustang seemed to be pondering it for a moment, then replied. "The name isn't familiar, no. But I'll check on it."

Ed nodded, satisfied with that answer. Mustang stared at Ed for a minute, then his eyes landed on me and he noticed me for the first time.

"Oh? And who is this pretty lady, Edward? You never mentioned you had a girlfriend! And she's actually shorter than you, that's amazing."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD RIDE ON THE BACK OF A BUMBLEEBEE?"

Mustang didn't seem to be paying the short blond much attention though. I couldn't help but blush and put my head down as looked me up and down.

"This is Ashley. She's one of the two girls I told you about. She was as good as dead when I found her, but she's okay now. And she is not my girlfriend," Ed explained. Mustang hummed in response, and smirked. He walked over to me and stuck out his hand.

"Colonel Roy Mustang. It's a pleasure to meet you Ashley, and I'm glad that you're okay. Where are you from?"

Crap. How did I answer that. Looking up at Ed, his eyes caught mine and I sent him a silent plead.

"She can't remember. Her and her friend said they're from far away, but they don't remember what the town is called. They also said that Envy was trying to kill them. Because her friend was an alchemist."

Mustang furrowed his brows. "But that makes no sense. There are plenty of alchemist in the world. Why her? Is there something special about your friend?" He asked me. I shook my head shyly.

He was about to say something else, but the door suddenly flew open. Jenna and Al stood in the doorway, Jenna looking flushed.

"Ed, you have one hard headed brother, and I don't mean that literally. Although his head is pretty hard.."

"Hey! I am not hard headed! I just didn't want to let the poor kitty go.. Where will he sleep? What will he eat?" Al said, shaking Jenna's shoulders.

"Calm down Al, I'm sure the kitten will be fine," Ed said, rolling his eyes. Al pointed at his brother.

"This is all your fault brother! If you just would have let me keep the cat-"

There was a cough, and the room silenced and all eyes landed on Mustang. Once he knew that he had our attention, he walked over to where Jenna stood. "My God, you guys were giving me a headache," he smirked at Jenna, "I don't believe I've met you yet. Colonel Roy Mustang. Are you this friend I've been hearing much about?"

Jenna nodded. "Yes, I'm Jenna. Nice to meet you. And what have they been telling you? Because you shouldn't trust anything Ashley tells you about me, it's probably all a lie!" She turned to me, and grabbed my shirt threateningly. "WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?"

Ed grabbed Jenna and pulled her away from me. "Don't worry, she hasn't said anything."

Jenna seemed to except that, but she pointed her middle finger and index finger to her eyes, then pointed them at me, telling me that she was watching me. I had to hold back giggles as Mustang cleared his throat again.

"So, Ed here tells me you ladies can't remember anything. Not even where you come from. Is that correct?"

We shook our heads.

"So where do you plan on going?"

I looked at Jenna and she shrugged. "Well.. We haven't really thought about that."

Mustang nodded slowly, and placed a hand on his chin thoughtfully. "Alright. And are you the alchemist?" He asked, pointing at Jenna. She nodded curtly. Mustang was quite again for a minute, and then looked at Ed and Al.

"You two are responsible for these girls. She is an alchemist, so maybe she could help out. And I'm sure Ashley will come in handy as well."

Ed's face turned red, and his eyes widened. "But why do we have to babysit them? I'm sure they can manage themselves!"

Mustang shook his head. "I will not have two girls who cannot remember much running around East City. Who knows what could happen. No, they will travel with you and assist you on your 'quest'."

"But why can't they stay with someone else! Why do they have to come with us?"

Mustang sighed. "Because I said so. It's an order Elric. You are the Fullmetal Pipsqueak after all." A full fledged smile appeared on his face this time. Jenna and I had to keep from bursting out into laughter, and Al just sighed. He grabbed his shaking brother and held him back as he yelled insults at the Colonel.

The door flew open, and a pretty blonde woman marched into the room. "Company sir!"

Mustang looked confused, but then nodded. Then, a swarm of men and woman in blue uniforms like the blonde ladies' and Mustang's swarmed into the room. One man said something about the East HQ being temporarily used for Central Command. I couldn't tell you what was happening, I was still staring at Mustang. Jenna elbowed me in the side.

"You could at least make it a bit less obvious," she whispered. I turned a deep shade of red, and frowned.

"It's not that obvious!"

"Ashley. You're drooling."

I blushed even deeper, and was thankful for when I saw everyone leaving the room, Ed and Al included. Jumping up, we began to make our way for the door.

"Well, thank you for everything Colonel." Jenna said, smiling. Mustang just nodded, standing there arms crossed. As we were leaving though, he called us back.

"Girls, do try to keep those boys out of trouble. They always manage to find a way make things hard for themselves.. It would be such a shame if something were to happen to either one of them.. That would mean lots of paperwork." He grinned, and I smiled at him. He winked at me, making me blush. I stood there just staring at him like an idiot until Jenna grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room.

We met up with Ed and Al in the hallway, and we stood there for a minute, until a tall man with glasses walked up to us.

"Hello there boys!" the man asked, then noticed us. "Well hello! I don't believe we've ever met. I'm Maes Hughes. It's a pleasure to meet you!" He beamed as us.

Jenna and I smiled in return, and Jenna introduced us. "I'm Jenna and this is my friend Ashley. It's nice to me-"

Before she could say much more, he reached into his pocket and pulled something out, shoving it in our faces. "Look, this is my daughter Elicia! Can you believe how big she's gotten? She can even ride a tricycle now! She follows me everywhere on that thing, like my own escort of cuteness!"

Ed sighed and pushed Hughes' arm down so it wasn't in our face. "Yep. You're the same as ever Major; nice and insane."

We began to walk, and a few minutes later we found ourselves seated in a cafeteria like room, surrounded by other soldiers.

He seemed to be completely unfazed by this, and reached back into his pocket. "I've got more pictures. Wanna see?" He asked excitedly.

"Sure!" Jenna and I said together. Ed gave us a look and held up his hand.

"Maybe later, okay? Anyway, if you knew this transfer was gonna happen, you could have warned Mustang."

Hughes shook his head, a smile on his face. "Not a chance! I had to see the look on Roy's face. Oh, by the way... I'm a Lieutenant Colonel now. Got me in charge of Court Marshal investigations."

Ed rolled his eyes. "Sounds fun-filled beyond belief. Shouldn't you be in Central, then?" He asked. Hughes scoffed.

"Why, so I can work in a bunch of empty offices? All the major big-wigs are fleeing Central fast as they-" he realized that he said something that he probably shouldn't have. Frantically, he changed the subject. "Never mind! Uh... how's that search been going for the, uh-" he leaned in real close, "- You-know-what Stone?"

At that, me and Jenna, who had previously been playing Thumb War, listened a bit closer.

"Well, we're closer, or I'd like to think we are. Right now I'm looking for a guy named Marcoh who might have answers for me. But I can't get Mustang to tell me what he's got on him."

Hughes looked at him, raising his eyebrow. "Well, have you considered he might not have anything?"

Ed furrowed his brows and shook his head. "No, Roy Mustang's hiding stuff from me. I can definitely tell."

"Did I hear you say the name Marcoh, Fullmetal?" A random voice came, from out of nowhere. I looked around frantically, then up at the ceiling.

"Jesus?" I asked. From the corner of my eye, I could see Ed grinning and trying to hold back his laughter. A tall man with a nice mustache came into view.

"Brigadier General Grand," Hughes said, nodding at the man. Ed glared through squinted eyes.

"The Iron Blood Alchemist. What do you want?"

"I know I want to pet his mustache," I leaned over and whispered to Al and Jenna. The two stifled their laughter, resulting in odd looks from Ed and Hughes.

"What do you want with Marcoh?" Grand asked. "He's a filthy deserter. Six years ago, a brigade of State Alchemists were called on to neutralize the Eastern Rebellion. And Marcoh was in their ranks. But he went AWOL before the battle was done. The coward's been missing ever since."

A few minutes later we were back yet again, in Mustang's office.

"A deserter? Don't know him sorry." Mustang said. Ed groaned and dragged us out of the room. Somehow we ended up in the library, and Ed was furiously searching through books and papers.

"Doctor Marcoh? Nope. Doctor Marcoh? Not here. Damn it! Wouldn't you know it, he's been erased from all the record books! Clearly Mustang knows, but he's not talking. I'll have to beat it out of him!" He exclaimed. Al gasped.

"A fight? You couldn't get away with that!" he said, flailing his arms around. There was a soft bang from inside his armor, and a meow could be heard. Ed glared at his brother.

"Your stomach purring?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. Al sweatdroped.

"Yes! I mean no! I mean... you know, it's still raining outside!" the boy exclaimed. I laughed and looked at Jenna.

"Well I agree with him! It's raining out, the poor kitty shouldn't be out in the rain! Once it stops, we'll let him go. Right Al?"

Al nodded in agreement. Ed sighed and threw his hands up. "Whatever!"

There were footsteps, and we all looked over to see Hughes smiling at us.

"Ed, I forgot to mention something earlier, what with the pictures-"

"Get to the point," Ed growled.

Hughes' smile dropped and he jumped back, shocked. "Fine. I will. Rude little... As I was saying, due to conditions, your Assessments will be held here, Ed."

Ed looked confused. "Assessments?"

"You mean, to renew his State Alchemy certification?" Jenna asked. I was shocked at how fast she was catching on to things around here. I was still in the dark.

Hughes nodded. "I'll tell you later about all your options."

Ed jumped up, and I could pretty much see the lightbulb above his head. "I've got it, Major!"

"Lieutenant Colonel!" he retorted. Ed didn't seem to be listening though.

"No, seriously! I know the perfect way to show off my skills!" Hughes looked down confused. Ed looked over at us, a devious smile on his face. "Right?"

I shook my head and facepalmed. "Oh no.."

XxXxX

Later that night, we were all sitting in a small hotel room. Ed had fought Roy earlier that day, and though he didn't want to admit it, I could tell something happened. Ed seemed to be deep in thought ever since.

I lay sprawled out on the couch, and Jenna was sitting on the floor playing cards with Al. Ed was locked up in the bedroom that the four of us would have to share.

"Do you have any fours?" I heard Jenna ask. Al sighed, and I guessed he had one.

"Wait.. I asked you a few minutes ago and you said you didn't have any!"

"Uhh.."

"YOU LIED!"

"N-no I didn't!"

"Yes you did! You lied! Give me back my four!"

"NEVER!"

I chuckled as the two fought for the card. Standing up, I headed to the bedroom door. Just before I could open it though, I heard the sound of something ripping and two groans.

"See what you did Al? You just ripped the card in half!"

"Me? That was definitely you Jenna!"

"Well now neither of us can have the card!"

I smiled and turned the doorknob. Walking into the dark room, I saw Ed laying on one of the beds, with his hands resting on his chest. I closed the door, drowning out the sound of the bickering two in the other room. He gave me a small smile as I sat down on the end of the bed, crossing my legs.

"Hey," he said quietly.

"Hey."

He sat up so he was sitting cross legged like me. "What's up?"

I shrugged. "Nothing really. I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for us today. It really means a lot. And the fact that you saved my life helps too," I laughed. He laughed, but I could see the faint blush creeping up his cheeks.

"You have Al to thank for that one though. He's the one that found you guys. I just carried you to the hospital."

I shrugged, still smiling. "It counts."

He laughed slightly, staying quietly. After a few moments of silence, I spoke up again.

"I'm sorry that we're such a burden though."

Ed looked up, confused. "What makes you think you're a burden?"

"Earlier today, when Mustang told you that you two would have to 'babysit' me and Jenna. You didn't seem to thrilled."

Ed nodded slowly. "Ah. Yeah, about that," he rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm sorry. It came out completely wrong, and made me sound like I didn't want you two to come along. It's not that I don't, it's just that it's too dangerous and.."

"And you don't want to be responsible for anything that happens to us. I get it." I gave him a small smile. "Don't worry, as soon as we can, I'll try and see if we can find a place to stay or something, so we don't slow you two down."

Ed's head snapped up again. "No! I mean, no. You don't have to do that. Really. I know I said that I didn't want you guys to tag along earlier, but now that I thought about.. I think it could be fun to have two more people with us."

I smiled at him. "Really?"

He nodded. "Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, but sometimes I just wanna strangle him. Even though I know I couldn't possibly do that."

I laughed, nodding. "Al's so adorable though!"

Ed's smile dropped, and he crossed his arms. "He is not!" he snapped back.

I raised my eyebrows. "Whoa there, I'm sensing someone's a little jealous!" I sung the last word, to tease him further. Ed's cheeks turned red and he shook his head.

"I am not!"

"I think you are."

"AM NOT!"

I stood up and laughed, smiling. "It's okay Ed. You're more adorable."

He froze, his face turning really red now. "Y-you mean that?"

I smiled. "Yeah! I mean.. you're just so short!"

His smile dropped and I could see a vein in his forehead popping out. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD GET SQUASHED BY AN ANT?"

I laughed and walked to the door. I just shrugged. "Maybe I did mean it. Maybe I didn't."

Walking out of the room and closing the door, I could hear Ed shout back, "BUT YOU'RE SHORTER THAN ME!"

I just laughed and took a seat on the couch. Al and Jenna looked at me.

"What was that about?" Al asked. I just shook my head, and laid back on the couch smiling.

This was about to be a fun adventure.
