Thank you so much for the reviews/favorites/follows it motivates me a lot! ^^ It's Friday so that means a new update woot woot!

Disclaimer: Nope :c

'There has to be a reason for this. How did I get stuck in this repeating loop? Why is it happening? Why is Al the only one being killed?' Those questions raced through Eds mind. He needed a clue or something that could help him put this together. He walked down the sidewalk deep in thought when the familiar feline came into view. 'I wonder if that little guy is a clue.' Ed thought. He slowly approached the small feline, earning a hiss in return. "Here kitty, I won't hurt you I promise." Ed reached out his hand to softly pet it. The cat didn't like that one bit. It released a loud growling sound and scratched his hand. It turned around and ran into the street.

Ed took a deep breath. 'Either I'm a dumbass, or a genius.' Was all Ed thought before running into the street after it. He needed to know if he'd get hit, or if what's causing this only wanted Al dead. The cat crossed the street safely, but a car was headed straight for Ed. He clenched his fist and stood there, prepared to get hit. "Hey, watch out!" Someone shouted. Eds arm was suddenly grabbed and he was yanked from the street.

"Are you insane?" A female voice asked. Ed looked up and saw a lady who looked to be in her mid-twenties. She had brown curly hair pulled into a ponytail and green eyes.

Ed looked back at the car and saw it stopped a few feet away from him, making this womans effort at saving him unnecessary. 'So I wouldn't of been killed. Interesting.' Ed thought until he was shaken from his thoughts.

"Hey are you okay? Say something!" The lady shouted.

Ed blinked and snapped out of it "Sorry. Thanks for saving me." He thanked. She let go of his arm and crossed her own.

"Geez, stupid kids these days." She muttered.

Ed glared at her. "Hey, I'm not a kid!" He retorted.

"How old are you?" She asked.

"Seventeen!" Ed replied.

"The legal adult age is eight-teen. You're a kid." She concluded.

Ed clenched his fist. What was her problem? "Okay maybe by age, but I'm in the military!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out his state alchemist pocket watch.

"You're that Fullmetal kid aren't you?" She asked.

Ed sighed and put his watch back in. "Call me Ed not "kid"."

"Whatever kid, just keep your eyes on the road will ya?" She asked.

Ed let out an annoyed sigh. "Fine, fine, call me kid I don't give a fu-" Ed stopped himself from cursing when he noticed a little girl was hiding behind the lady.

The girl saw him looking at her and tried to hide better. Ed laughed. "I won't hurt you I promise." He said and got on his knees. She peeked out and looked at him then hid again.

"Reina say hi." The lady told her. The girl waved timidly.

Ed smiled and waved back. He stood back on his checked his pocket watch for the time. "Aw crap I'm going to be late. Bye and really thanks for saving me." Ed thanked.

"It's nothing just be more careful." She said. Ed nodded and waved one last time before running to Headquarters.

He said hello to Hawkeye then made his way to the office. He opened it and sat down on the couch.

"I'm surprised the door isn't broken today." Mustang said while signing his name on some paperwork.

Ed sighed, he didn't have time to argue with him. "So what's the mission?" Ed asked. He knew what it was but he had to act as if this day never happened before. Mustang stopped writing and looked at explained the mission and Ed nodded and pretended to give a damn.

"Is that all?" Ed asked once Mustang finished the summary.

"Yes. You are dismissed Fullmetal." Ed got up and was about to open the door but stopped himself.

"Something the matter?" Mustang asked.

Ed sighed and sat back down. "There's something I need to ask you." Ed said, not wasting any time.

"Go ahead."Mustang said.

Ed took in a deep breath. "Is there a form of alchemy that can affect time?" Ed asked.

Mustang was silent for a moment, most likely thinking it over. "Some high level alchemist can stop time to attack their opponent. It usually can only stop time for five seconds at most. Other than that, I don't think there is." Mustang told him.

"So it's not possible to repeat something over and over?" Ed asked.

Mustang looked a bit puzzled. "No, that's only in the books."

Ed sighed, it was worth a shot. "I see. Thanks." Ed got up to open the door.

"Fullmetal." Mustang said, causing Ed to turn around.

"What now?" Ed asked.

Mustang pulled out an index card and wrote something down on it. Ed walked over to his desk and took it once it was given to him. Written on it was the location to a spot in the library. It also had Mustangs signature at the bottom. "There are some books on rare alchemy in that section. You might find something to help you out. Just give that paper to the librarian and she will let you look." Mustang said.

Ed smiled, Mustang may be a bastard but at least he could rely on him. "Thanks a lot." Ed practically flew out the door. When it came to reading about new types of alchemy nothing was more exciting to him. When he reached the library he handed the librarian the paper. Sure enough he was allowed access.

"Screw it!" Ed cursed and slammed a book down. He had gone through piles of books but still came out dry. No clues, no similarities, nothing. The librarian shushed him for his outburst. 'Why can't I find anything? There has to be something! Maybe I'm just going insane. Maybe I'm awake now and it was all a dream inside a dream.' Ed wondered. He checked his pocket watch to see the time. His eyes widened at the realization that it was almost seven in the evening. 'Crap! Al's probably worried sick!'

Ed hurriedly put away the books he had read and checked out ones he didn't. He rushed back to the apartment complex. He nearly tripped twice on the stairs due to the weight of the books. Finally he reached their apartment. He swung the door open. "Sorry I took so long Al I-" Ed dropped all the books he was holding and stared in horror. There on the floor Al was stabbed to death with metal poles. "No,no,no,no! DAMN THIS, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Ed shouted, punching holes in the wall. As sad as he was that Al was dead he was now more angry. Whatever was messing with their lives was going to pay!

He heard laughter and turned around. He wasn't surprised to see his clone. "You, you're doing this aren't you? Why!? What did we do!? What did Al do!? Leave us the hell alone!" Ed clone laughed and everything was going slowly to black. "No, not this time! I don't want to repeat this! You answer me right now, why is this happening!?" Ed asked. It kept getting darker. Soon he couldn't see the room. "Answer me!" Ed shouted. There was the laughter and then he felt the clone grab his shoulder.

His clone laughed again and in a deep voice said, "Welcome to the Haze." Ed couldn't fight it after that and succumbed to the darkness.
