"Tat" is slang-ish for Tattoo. :P You'll get why I used it like that later. And all questions will be answered soon. :) Enjoy:

"Rei!" Mustang's furious banging nearly blew the door off its hinges. Rei wasn't answering her phone and didn't show up for "First Thursdays". (The first Thursday of every month, military personel gather at a bar, play card games, and tell stories of their battles and families). Rei loved talking to older military officials who have experienced more than she has. She's never missed First Thursdays.

"Rei Yoko Glaciurs! You better open this damn door--" Roy's yelling was halted when the door flew open and he was pulled into the apartment.

"Quit acting like a child, Mustang. I was going to reorganize my furniture, not my door. I like it on its hinges just fine." Rei closed her door and walked over to the kitchen counter. She poured some coffee and handed Roy a cup.

"Why don't you use your alchemy all the time, Rei?" Roy's always been curious, but always too scared to ask. Now that he was partcially drunk; it didn't matter.

"I like to feel..." Rei moved her hands around, trying to grasp at the right word, "...Normal." Roy's face made Rei elaborate. "I don't have to sleep, drink, eat, shower, use beauty products, even breathe. But, it's nice... Being able to take a deep beath and plunge into a pool, rather than just jump in and not have to worry about my lungs. Now, why are you here, Colonel?"

"You know what day it is today, right?"

"Well, yeah. It's a Friday." Rei did not see the point Roy was getting at, and decided to walk towards her couch and sit down.

"No. I- What?"

"It's three in the morning, Roy." Rei said, nonchalantly.

"Oh. I mean, the day yesterday was?"

"Well, by process of elimination... Thursday." Rei had counted on her fingers for added effect.

"Well, do you know which Thursday it is? I mean was." Roy was too drunk to notice her sarcasm.

"Yeah, the first. And on this note about stupid questions, do you know what your name is? Or maybe, do you know how drunk you are?" Rei mocked.

"Rei, it's First Thursdays! You know. Where we all get drunk and talk about whatever we need to. It's been a tradition for so long!" Roy slumped onto the couch next to Rei.

"I didn't feel like sitting around a bunch of drunks and have them babble on about their sex lives, or trying to grope me. And my all time favorite, 'Hey sweet lips! Want to find my tattoo?'." Rei tried looked straight ahead, her thoughts went back to the note.

"..., Lust?"

Roy leaned forward and stared at Rei, "Why didn't you tell me that you hated First Thursdays?"

Rei stood up furiously, "Because I don't!" Rei walked over to her kitchen and started pacing around, "I don't know why I said that. Everything seems to be getting on my nerves. Even things I love. I went to the park a few days ago and froze the lake to ice skate. But, I got on the ice and moved forward a few paces and then, started pounding the ice." Rei pulled at some of her hair, "I don't know what's wrong with me!" Rei stopped and hugged herself, "I don't know who I am anymore.", She whispered.

Roy walked over to her and grabbed her arms, "Maybe, you should talk to someone. You know, about your past." Roy then realized that he was instantly sober.

Rei read his thoughts, "No use in talking to a drunk."

Roy smiled, "So you want to talk?" Roy went to push Rei's black bangs from her face. She slapped his hand away, before he could see her eyes.

"Not about that. About my parents, but later, you need rest, Mustang. Go home. We'll talk later today."

"Alright." Roy turned and opened her door. "You know." Roy turned his head to look at her, "You're Rei Yoko Glaciurs. That's all you can be. You just, need to find her." Roy walked out. Rei glanced towards her window.

Once Mustang was out of her apartment building, Rei spoke, "Come out, Envy."

"Hm. Well, Lust. I don't think he's your type at all." Envy flew through the open window and transformed into his normal self, sitting on the kitchen counter.

"Quit calling me 'Lust'.", Rei growled.

"Well, that's who you are. After all, that neat tat on your chest says so." Envy smiled widely, "Our father wants to finish your transformation. After all, you need your spears and a new wardrobe."

"I am not going anywhere with you. And I remember having this very same tattoo when I was seven, it went away once I joined the military at age seventeen. And now it's back. I'm twenty-two now, Envy. it's been five years. Which means it's not real. And if it is, why now?" Rei crossed her arms, fog swirling around her hand.

"That's simple," Envy jumped off the counter, "Lust is dead, there's an opening, and you're our greatest canidate."

"Why? I bet there are a lot of stupid people in the world transmuting humans. Why me?" Rei's temper was begining to flare up.

"Because, sweet sister," Rei growled. "Your father, created a living homunculi. His dream of making you a great alchemist, made you come back to the land of the living. But, you were transmutated all the same. You will be a powerful homunculi. And, with your ties to the military, people won't want to even try to kill you." Envy walked closer to Rei. "I mean, your boyfriend was the only one with enough balls to get rid of Lust in the first place. It would just devistate him, knowing he'd have to kill you. Even Scar would have trouble killing you, after what you did to help him and his brother."

"I thought you homunculi were so secretive."

"Don't you mean, 'us homunculi'?" Envy smirked and pushed his long palm tree-like hair out of the way.

"No. I. Do. Not." Rei gritted through her teeth.

"Keep denying. I did in the begining. But, trust me, "Envy leaned forward, "If you keep lying to yourself, it's not going to save your friends. They're better off without you. I had to kill you're friend, the one with the kid, because he found out some secrets. He was digging through files, because he wanted to know more about you. And now, look where he is. Where his wife and daughter are. You're at fault as much as I am."

"Fuck off, Envy. I'm through speaking with you." Rei slashed at Envy, fog enveloping him. He was flung out the window, and it shut tightly.

Rei put a hand on her chest. Please go away...

:) Just so nobody freaks out on me: I do not plan on making Roy and Rei get together. Although I would like to very much. :) Talk to you guys next time I update.
