Ok, i suppose I considered PURE's review as a 'flame' for myself. But thanks alot. All fanfictions don't make sense because most writers had no idea how to plan their stories, and 99.9 normally turns out well. And sorry about the typos. Because I am typing straight from an old document I uploaded and not from Microsoft Word or anything, so please understand that I don't check my paragraphs or reread it, so... hahahahahhaha sorry.


Edward Elric's eyes opened, then he squinted. The hospital lights were bright. And it was kind of quiet. Except for the sounds of machines whirring as they checked his pulse and breathing. The gas mask on his face was noisy, too. He could hear a 'sssss' sound issuing from it, showing that gas was being steadily pumped into the mask from a plain grey tube connecting to an oxygen tank. Edward felt someone lying beside his right arm and he looked down. The blonde hair resting on a fair-toned arm tolf him it was Winry Rockbell.

Wait. Why am I in a hospital? And why is Winry lying next to me? And why am I not dead? My wrist...

Edward looked down at his left arm. There was a needle inserted into his forearm (joint part) , and his wrist was bandaged. A tag hung off his four fingers, excluding his thumb. He tried moving his wrist. It hurt alot, which meant that it had started to heal. And my stomach... It doesn't hurt alot anymore, and his body felt better, less tired, which meant that they, too, treated his stomach wound. They rescued me. I wonder how they knew...


Roy Mustang sat outside, still not asleep. He wondered when will Edward wake up. He had owed it all Ed, helping him track down the mastermind behind all this. Roy rolled a golden silver bullet between his index and thumb, feeling it grooves. It was the grooves that gave that soldier away. The Warrant Officer's gun matched the grooves on the bullet. He had shot Ed on purpose, because the Warrant Officer's aim was only abit behind Hawkeye's. He had scored well in his shooting test. Of course he wouldn't miss Edward Elric. He had to wound Ed.

And leave Ed to die in the forest. Roy had questioned the Warrant Officer and it turned out that they, the Warrant Officer and the 'dead' officer had put this plan into action in bid to expel the kid out pf the army. As they claimed, 'Kids shouldn't meddle with Adult stuff.' How right they are. If Ed hadn't joined the army 3 years ago... he wouldn't have to go through all this. And, I have wronged him. I thought he'd also come and kill me... because he didn't want to suck up to the adults anymore... haha... Roy laughed humorlessy and stood up.

Roy walked quietly to Ed's ward door and opened the door slowly.


Ed's gold eyes met Roy's black ones.

And they stared at each other. "Colonel..." Edward said, eyes widening. Edward frantically tried to get up, looking full of fear. ROy panicked and ran over, holding onto Ed's shoulders gently. "Ed! Calm down... I am not here to catch you." Roy said, staring at Ed. Then he smiled. "You're... alive. And awake... I am... so glad."

Edward stared up at the Colonel and laid back onto the pillow, still stiff. He was still afraid. Will he still be charged for something he didn't do? "Colonel! I really didn't do it - hack cough cough" Edward coughed, gasping and Roy calmed Edward down again. Roy looked down at Ed and sighed. "I know... calm down... I have already... uncovered the culprits behind it. You didn't kill anyone. Those two Officers, Balt and Dunce, made it all up, and they will spend time in prison. You've been here for 2 days. I rushed you here and found this in your pocket." Roy said, and held up the bullet that Edward had dug out of himself. "Thank god we weren't too late."

Winry stirred to all the noise going around her and blinked. "Huh... what time is it...?" Winry asked, rubbing his eyes. Edward had relaxed when he learnt that he was now clear. "Its 7:34 PM according to the digital clock behind you." Edward said softly through his gasmask. Winry looked stunned when she heard that voice. "Ed?" Winry bent over and stared at Ed.

"Hi."

"ED! YOU'RE AWAKE!" Winry yelled and hugged him. Roy pulled her back as Edward winced.

SLAM!!!!!

Edward , Roy and Winry jumped as the door slammed open.

"EDWARD ELRIC IS AWAKE?!" The crowd at the door yelled simultaneously. Edward's eyes almost popped out at the gathering at the door.

They all rushed to his bed and spoke to him at once. (Guess who said what )

"Edward! You're a disgrace to me! Why would you ever do that? You never listen to this Sensei of yours!"

"Edward Elric, I was so worried!!!! Here's some banadages I made, an artistic way of making bandages that is passed down in my family for 17 generations!"

"Yo, Eddles. I heard to totally screwed up! Roy, was it your fault again? HUH? And while you're unconcious, my widdle Elysia has grown some more and she was like 'ahhh, what happened to Ed?' Wanna see some pictures?"

"Brother! You stupid moron!"

"Edward Elric Sir! Why don't you listen to adults more?!"

"Edward Elric, sir... when you are sleeping, I suppose you're thinking about your girlfriend!"

"Fullmetal Alchemist! This is a happy day and I shall not send you to the arms of god. cricks fingers, then smiles"

"SCAR?! WHAT THE FUCK?!" All the State Alchemists in the room exclaimed. Scar looked at them. They looked back.

"What?" Scar said, looking around.

"Good thing I soundproofed the room." Edward said, sighing through his mask. Roy spewed blood. "WHEN THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Edward raised a finger. "Since they started bursting in.


LOL. I was SOOOOO tired after the ROy and Ed part that I had to add in something WEIRD. I didn't think it was funny hahahah :P
