Here we go! We finally have them watching the show! Just a disclaimer: from this point on, besides the intros and outros, everything in the bold IS NOT MINE, be it dialogue, actions, or whatever.

Like I said earlier, I know this formatting is a little confusing. If you want a MUCH more detailed version of this story, you can check it out on Quotev. Or, if anything, you can watch along with the show on Netflix.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!


"The Freezing Alchemist? Really? He's here?"

All of the children, especially Joshua, who had been sitting quietly, shaking with apprehension, suddenly stiffened at the sound of the familiar, yet younger, voice. Joshua felt his heart beat even harder in his chest, though he wasn't sure if it was out of fear or excitement. Probably both. Still, a small smirk appeared on his lips.

And so it begins, he thought.

"We have information that he managed to slip into Central a few days ago. That's why I've summoned you here, Colonel. I need you and your men to smoke him out and bring him in."

"Consider it done, sir."

Joshua couldn't help but swell a little with pride at the sight of his esteemed father in his line of work. Despite being a soldier himself, he rarely ever got to work along the side of either of his parents. His thoughts were broken, however, when he realized the other four audience members were staring at him with curious looks on their faces.

"What are you staring at?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, feeling somewhat freaked out.

"You really do look like Uncle Roy," Elicia commented, a small smile on her face.

"And here I thought Dad was just making it up," Aaron continued, looking intrigued as well.

Joshua felt a small blush rise to his face and looked down, rubbing his neck. "Yeah, well..."

He always felt proud whenever someone compared him with his parents, but, at the same time, he tried not to let their giant shadows control or intimidate him. Many people thought that he'd become a soldier because it had almost become like the family business, but that was only the partial truth. He did become a soldier because he wanted to become a great man like his father, but people always mistook it for him trying to be his father. The main reason he'd become a soldier was the reason that many other people did: to help people. Well, it was also to pay for college, but that was beside the point. He just wanted to make a difference in the world - to make it safe for his children like his parents and the Elrics and Elicia's dad had done for him.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Oh, dammit! We're missing it!"

The five of them quickly looked back at the TV, only to find the image had frozen. However, as soon as they turned back, it started up again.

"Do you think...?" Nina stopped talking when she saw that the image froze once more when she began to speak.

"It must stop whenever we get distracted or something, so we don't miss anything," Aaron suggested, looking both baffled and incredibly interested at the same time.

Trisha sighed in exasperation. "This Truth guy sure thinks of everything..."

The episode started up again.

"I'm glad your with us for a while in Central, Mustang. It's good to know I have people here I can count on."

"Sir."

"Ah, one last thing. Our rising young star is here as well. I'm placing him at your disposal."

The Elrics perked up, having a knowing feeling as to who this star was.

"Forgive me, Fuhrer Bradley, but just to be clear, you are referring to...?"

"I am. The Fullmetal Alchemist - Edward Elric."

"God dammit...The colonel's never gonna let us outta here, is he?"

"Holy shit..." Aaron couldn't help but mutter, staring at the screen in amazement. He'd seen a few pictures of his father from when he was younger, but this...

"Aaron!" Despite all that was happening, Nina scolded him for his cursing.

"That's Dad..." Trisha said in awe, ignoring her brother and cousin. A small smile spread on her lips. "He's so little..."

"I don't know if 'little' is the right word," Aaron contradicted, a gentle smile on his face as well. "It's definitely jarring though." He chuckled a bit. "You hear his voice?"

"A little bit high," Elicia agreed, giggling. "He looks a lot like you did a couple years ago, Aaron."

"Yeah," Joshua added, lightly punching his friend in the arm. "Guess I'm not the only one who looks like their old man."

Aaron nodded somewhat, turning back to the screen, which continued. Only, what they saw next was even more surprising.

"We already bought our tickets for Liore, too. Does this mean we're not going?"

"Oh, Daddy..." Nina murmured, covering her mouth with her hand as her eyes filled with tears. With that one shot and line, she felt like she'd been slapped across the face. The others looked at the screen in a tragic kind of shock, especially Aaron and Trisha, though no one said anything.

"I don't know, Al. For now, let's just get this over with, okay?"

"Mm. Lead the way, Brother."

The Elric children managed small smiles at the Alphonse's common name for Edward, but they were short lived. It wasn't like this was really the first time they'd been exposed to Al's life in the armor. In fact, they'd been allowed to see a couple pictures from that time, the first time being after all three of them had found out about everything.


"Huh?" The three cousins examined the photo in the album meticulously. It was black and white and showed a much younger version of Edward in some kind of trench coat standing alongside an imposing, blank-faced suit of armor. Trisha looked back up at her father, claiming, "There's no way that's Uncle Al!"

"It is. I can vouch for him," her uncle assured her, chuckling somewhat.

"And get this!" Edward told them, grinning evilly. "That armor spoke with the voice of a little boy! The tiniest voice you ever heard in your life!"

Alphonse looked somewhat offended. "I don't know if I'd go that far."

"Well, people certainly never saw it coming." Edward shot back. His eyes shone with pride. "Even still, whenever your uncle wanted to be heard, he made himself be heard! It was impossible to ignore him when he talked."

"It must have been rather scary, huh?" Nina asked sheepishly, looking at her father with concern.

Alphonse's smile dropped, but only for a second. Grinning at his daughter, he assured her, "It was at first, but I eventually got used to it, even though it wasn't the most comfortable situation. I will admit that."


"God, I almost feel shell shocked," Trisha managed, a humorless smile on her face, "and we're not even a minute in yet."

"He...he really does sound little," Nina said, sniffling and attempting to wipe away her tears. She thought about when she was little, about whenever she had a nightmare and her father would talk to her in that gentle, soothing, deep voice of his. She had trouble even imagining that voice coming out of the armor, but this...

Elicia put a hand on her shoulder in comfort. Suddenly, Joshua's voice broke their thoughts, "Hey, check this out. This was on the coffee table."

They turned to him to see yet another note in his hands. He read:


Children,

Usually, there will be a sort of introduction song at the beginning of each episode, with some visuals that might not exactly happen, but hint at what is to come. There will also be an ending song for each. However, I want you to get a taste of what you're in for before you get to see any of that. So, for this episode only, the intro song will play at the end. Hope you're enjoying it so far!

Yours truly,

Truth


Aaron sighed in exasperation, narrowing his eyes. "Sure. Why not?"

Joshua crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it behind him. They all turned their attention back to the TV.

"There he goes! That way!"

"You, halt! Halt, or I'll shoot!"

McDougal impales some soldiers on ice spikes, whilst freezing one, and boiling another alive.

Nina quickly covered her eyes, horrified by what she was seeing on screen. Aaron and Trisha found themselves equally disgusted, but they couldn't seem to look away. Joshua and Elicia, being a soldier and doctor respectively, were used to seeing a fair share of gruesomeness, but their stomachs still churned at the sight.

"Water freezes, water boils...Either way, you're just as dead."

"Bastard..." Joshua spat, his teeth grit with anger. Those were the criminals he hated the most - the ones who just killed anyone who got in their way, disregarding the fact that all the people they were hurting were simply doing their job and trying to protect the ones they loved.

"That's alchemy."

"What a nasty thing to do..."

Aaron couldn't help but smirk. "Kick his ass, Dad."

"Aaron!" Nina complained once again, though he wondered why she hadn't scolded Josh.

Trisha had the same feelings as her brother. She had seen her father and uncle spar multiple times, but that was far from the real thing. She was actually really curious to see what Edward was like in real combat, though she still couldn't help but worry. On top of all that, the nonchalantness in his voice troubled her. How much had he seen in order to simply walk by the boiled corpse of a man like it was nothing?

"You of all people should know that great deeds require great sacrifice. Isn't that the law of equivalent exchange!?"

"Save your breath! The laws of alchemy don't justify murder!"

Edward transmutes the spear he's thrown into a bat.

All five of the watchers stared in awe, especially Edward's own children. Despite their father being one of the most famous alchemists of all time, Aaron and Trisha had never seen him perform a transmutation, nor had any of the other three. They all found this rather weird, as Edward was pretty much an expert on the subject, and his brother performed both alchemy and alkahestry on a daily basis for his job as one of the local doctors. The Elric cousins had all actually been a bit skeptical that their fathers were telling the truth at first, until Edward had shown them his pocket watch, which Joshua's father had permitted him to keep after his resignation.

After he was shown the pocket watch, Aaron had looked up to his father, asking, "If you were a State Alchemist, Dad, then why don't you do alchemy anymore?"

Edward hadn't looked surprised by the question in the slightest, only showing a little sadness in his eyes. After thinking for a minute, he replied, "I just don't really feel like I need to use it anymore. Back then, I almost relied too much on alchemy, but since then I've realized that, while it really is an amazing thing, it can't solve every problem. I felt like I needed to learn how to live without it. Besides," He had then ruffled Aaron's hair, grinning, "who needs alchemy when I have you to help me out, huh?"

Now, Aaron and everyone else were finally able to see the Fullmetal Alchemist in action. He and Trisha watched the transmutation unfold with such fascination. It was obviously just as skilled as they'd seen Alphonse do it, but it almost seemed like there was more of a rugged, sharp aspect to it, which fit their father perfectly.

"No transmutation circle!"

"Don't be too impressed...Now!"

A fight ensues between McDougal and the Elrics. The Freezer grabs Edward's arm and transmutes, throwing the boy back.

Trisha couldn't help but gasp. Aaron reached over and grabbed her hand, also startled somewhat.

"What!?"

McDougal quickly grabs Alphonse, flinging him over his head, causing the boy to yelp in surprise.

Now it was Nina's turn to gasp.

"No, I had you! Any water in there should have boiled!"

"And you just threw a massive suit of armor over your shoulder. I don't see how you're so shocked," Joshua commented, surprised by the man's burst of strength.

"If it's any consolation, you did rip my coat."

The boy holds up his right arm. His coat is shattered, revealing the metal prosthetic underneath.

"Dad..." The Elric children were used to seeing Edward with his automail leg, but his arm? They'd heard everything about it, from Edward complaining how much hit hurt to have it installed to Winry complaining how much she had to repair it, but, like everything else, it had all seemed like a completely different world. That is until now, when they were actually able to see it.

"An automail arm! A young, gifted alchemist...one who doesn't use transmutation circles...and who has an automail right arm! I know you...You are the Fullmetal Alchemist - Edward Elric!"

"Hell, yeah!" Aaron yelled proudly. All the others smiled as well. Nina thought to scold him again, but decided against it, smiling.

"So...it's not you?"

"Oh, um...no. I'm his younger brother, Alphonse..."

"But he's a runt..."

"Oh, yeah!? Can a runt do this!?"

"I've heard the stories, but I never imagined this! The Fullmetal Alchemist is just a little kid!?"

"DON'T CALL ME LITTLE!"

"You know, Brother...I don't think he was really talking about your height just now."

"Well, even if he wasn't, he still pissed me off!"

Edward's children and niece, meanwhile, along with Elicia and Joshua, had been laughing through the whole ordeal, surprised on how such a serious situation could be turned on its head so quickly.

"Well," Joshua said, still chuckling quite a bit, "that ruined the entire mood."

"Yeah, but that's probably for the best," Nina added, a sweet smile appearing on her face. She actually felt an overwhelming sense of relief. From the way the first minute or so went, she was afraid that the whole thing was just going to be her father and uncle, both of whom she loved so much, fighting criminals and being rather serious. Now, she felt stupid for ever having worried. Not only was she now completely certain that that was truly Edward and Alphonse Elric on screen, but she could immediately tell that they were the same back then as they were now.

"I don't think he's that short," Trisha commented, feeling sympathy for her father's younger self. Up until recently, when she'd hit a growth spurt, she'd been one of the shortest in her class. She was even shorter than Nina for a span of time.

"Maybe he just looks that way because he's standing next to Al," Elicia offered, chuckling. "He does look rather..."

She stopped herself, though, for Nina's sake. It was going to take a while for any of them to get used to Alphonse's form, but, for some reason, she didn't feel as bothered by it. In fact, she could almost see an image of the armored Elric standing above her and waving goodbye. It was almost like a memory trying to thrust its way forward from the back of her mind. Did she meet Edward and Alphonse while Al was still in the armor? The two men had been in her life for as long as she could remember, so she didn't know for sure. Maybe these DVDs would answer that question...

Aaron, sensing her tension, took over for her. Smirking, he told her, "I don't think so. Mom and Uncle Al always go on about how short Dad was back when they were younger. Apparently, he didn't really start growing until after they got their bodies back. Mom always blames it on the fact that Dad never drank any milk."

Trisha laughed. "And he still doesn't drink it to this day."

"So, you're the one we've been hearing all the stories about lately! The Fullmetal Alchemist! You're as good as they say! Thanks for the help!"

"Um...you're welcome, but...I'm really not the one you should be thanking."

"The guy does half the work and doesn't accept any of the credit," Aaron commented, smiling. "That's Uncle Al, alright."

"There! C'mon! Let's get going, Al! We've got a train to catch!"

"Oh, okay. If you think it's alright to leave..."

We see a group of soldiers escorting McDougal, who is now in handcuffs. As they walk down the alleyway, they pass a puddle. McDougal grins.

Joshua narrowed his eyes, having a feeling of what he was going to do.

"What is that? Steam?"

"Brother, he's gone!"

"Dammit! Now, he really pissed me off!"

The watchers couldn't help but mirror his thoughts.

"Looks like you underestimated your opponent, Fullmetal."

Both the Elrics and Joshua felt a little relief to hear Roy call Edward by his code name in the same mocking tone that he still used it to this day. Edward absolutely hated it, him now way passed being a grown adult, but Mustang still insisted on treating him like a child simply so he didn't have to feel like he was getting old.

"Who is this guy, anyway?"

"You'd know that if you listened to the briefing like I told you to, but, noooo! You had to go charging right after...

"Yeah, yeah! I get it, alright!? I'm sorry, okay? Whatever..."

We finally get to see Mustang sitting as his desk, looking at Edward with an amused smirk as Riza Hawkeye stands passively at his side.

"Next time a superior tells you to pay attention, you might just try it."

Joshua couldn't help but smile at the familiar sight of his mother standing by his father's side. He was very interested to see what their relationship was like back then. On top of that, he really wanted to see the two in action. In all honestly, excluding a few moderate incidents every now and then, Central had been a fairly quiet city all his life, and even when things did end up getting hairy, his father usually stayed back at headquarters, him being the President and all.

Trisha let out a small laugh. "God, he's just mopping the floor with Dad, huh?"

"Fine."

"Now then, his name is Issac McDougal, or, as he was known as back in the day, "Issac the Freezer." He's a former State Alchemist."

"Former?"

"That's right. He served in the Ishvalan War. During that time, he gave us no signs that he'd turned traitor, but after, he immediately resigned his commission and went into hiding. He's been working with the Anti-Establishment Movement ever since. Taking him into custody is a matter of top priority. Whether it's dead or alive, that's up to him."

"No way. I'm not killing anyone for you."

"And that's your choice. Your orders are simply to contain him. That's all."

Trisha smiled a bit. Ever since they were little, her father had always taught her and Aaron that every life was precious and that, no matter how bad a person was, it wasn't up for another person to decide whether that evil person had to die. At the time, it had seemed like a no-brainer, but she grew to understand Edward's words even more after she'd learned about his past. He lost many people who were dear to him and knew the pain that came along with loss, so he didn't want to be responsible for another person's similar anguish. Not only that, but the circle of life was something that shouldn't be tampered with. If humans weren't allowed to create life, then they most definitely weren't allowed to take it. It made her glad to know that her father held tightly to these beliefs, despite him being so young, and being a soldier at that.

Joshua smiled as well and, adding onto Trisha's thoughts, said, "It's nice to know Dad didn't make Ed do anything he didn't want to."

Elicia nodded, looking somewhat sad. "He was just a kid, after all."

"Off topic...have you turned up any leads for getting your bodies back to normal?"

All five of the watchers suddenly perked up, both surprised and curious, as this was the first time the boys' situation was being mentioned.

"Maybe if you ever gave us time to look!"

"Roy! How goes? Heard you let them put you in charge of catching the Freezer, huh!? One hell of nasty assignment! But hey, could be your chance to earn that promotion to Central!"

"Elicia?" Nina glanced at her friend worriedly. All five of them had been staring at the screen in shock and awe, not having expected to meet Maes Hughes so early on, but said man's daughter had remained quiet. The other four had at least let out some small gasps or other noises, but Elicia hadn't uttered a sound. The older girl simply stared at the now frozen screen, silent tears streaming down her face, her mouth half agape.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she spoke in a small voice, which cracked with emotion, though her body remained rigid. "My father...That's...that's my father."

Even though he'd only been on screen for seven seconds, all of which he'd spent rambling so far, Elicia knew that her father was exactly how she'd imagined he'd be. All the stories she'd heard, pictures she'd seen, letters she'd read - all of them suddenly flowed into the image of her father she saw before her. She had to admit that his voice was a bit higher than she had guessed, and her mother had greatly underestimated his animated nature, but still...

To her friends' surprise, the girl actually started to giggle, her sobs finally starting to escape her. Her tears now flowed like a river down her cheeks, causing her already glowing eyes to shimmer even more. Aaron quickly grabbed some tissues from the coffee table, passing them to her, which she gladly took. After a few minutes had passed, Elicia finally calmed herself down, smiling much brighter than any of them had expected.

"Let's see what my father was like."

Nina, sensing her words being repeated back to her, grinned supportingly. "Yeah!"

The others smiled as well.

"Oh, see!? Looks like my timing was perfect! You two are the Elric brothers, right!? Wow! It's an honor to finally meet the youngest State Alchemist ever! You're a real legend around here! I'm Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes! A pleasure!

"Ah...you want Edward. I'm actually his younger brother, Alphonse."

"What!? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist!? Sorry! I had no idea you'd be so...!"

"Go ahead, say short. I dare you."

The group couldn't help but laugh again.

"Guess this really was a thing," Aaron said, smirking at the younger version of his father on the TV.

"Hughes..."

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing here? Go home."

"That's a bit harsh, Dad..." Joshua muttered, chuckling.

"Actually, I'm here on official business. You, Elrics. I understand that you two don't have a place to stay, which means you'll have to come with me. My wife, Gracia, and my daughter, Elicia! We'd love to have you!"

Elicia's heart thumped a bit. Just to hear her father say her name made her so happy.

Suddenly, the scene shifts to outside the Hughes' apartment. There's a close up of almost 3-year-old Elicia Hughes smiling sweetly, almost directly into the camera.

"Awwww!" The two Elric girls squealed simultaneously. "Elicia, you're so cute!"

The two boys couldn't help but agree, but they kept this opinion to themselves. Still, Joshua couldn't help teasing, "I'm sure you were a heart breaker in preschool."

Elicia felt her cheeks redden a bit, and she quickly turned back to the TV. "Oh, shut up!"

"Hi, Princess!"

"Ow! Daddy, your beard is itchy!"

"Like this? Itchy, itchy!"

Elicia once again began to feel her chest clench up, but she smiled lovingly at the scene. Finally, she was able to see what her family looked like when it was whole.

"Look! We have guests! These are the Elric brothers."

"Big brother! Little brother!"

Aaron, who had been taking a sip of water, promptly choked, coughing and laughing all at the same time. He threw his head back, almost in tears. "Even you did it!"

Elicia smiled sheepishly and, even though she knew he couldn't hear her, said, "Sorry, Ed..."

"Nice to meet you...My name is Edward Elric. This is my younger brother...Alphonse Elric. Got that? Younger brother."

"But younger means little! You're little!"

"Let it go, Ed. These people are really nice to let us stay here."

"Hope you boys are hungry! Gracia's cooking is delicious!"

"It sure is!" Trisha agreed through everyone having yet another fit of laughter. Through their many visits to the Hughes household, the Elric children had certainly had their fill of Gracia's cooking.

"Okay! Eat up!"

"Thanks! (Digs in) Wow! You weren't kidding! This is great!"

"Don't be shy. Eat all you want."

"Okay!"

"Alphonse, how're you gonna eat wearing that armor? Take it off! Relax!"

"Well, you see..."

"He's not allowed to! He has to wear that all the time! It's, uh...it's part of his alchemy training! You know how it is! Haha! I'll eat enough for both of us!"

"Training! Choo-choo!"

The group managed to chuckle a bit at the younger version of Elicia, but the mood was suddenly very somber.

"It must have been so hard for them..." Aaron thought aloud, looking down at the ground, "having to come up with excuses like that constantly, having to hide what they did..."

"Poor Dad..." Nina murmured, her eyes becoming a bit wet. "It must have been so lonely and awkward for him to be asked about that."

"I wonder how long it took for them to get used to it..." Joshua wondered. No one knew what else to say after that.

"Hands down. That's gotta be the funniest joke I've heard in a long time. The Freezing Alchemist wants me to come play his side kick. Well, as fun as that sounds...The Crimson Alchemist works alone. I always have."

The Crimson Alchemist? The group had immediately perked up again at the reappearance of McDougal, but that specific title struck a cord with Joshua. Where had he heard that before? It was someone his parents knew. He was sure of it.

"Kimblee, if we work together, we can bring down Bradley and this god forsaken military. You saw the horrors that took place in Ishval. You were there, dammit! You know the things Bradley ordered us to do, the kind of man he really is! That's why you killed those officers, isn't it? To send him a message?"

Joshua suddenly regained his thoughts, though he didn't like what came back. Furrowing his brow, he muttered, "Now, I remember..."

"Josh?' Aaron looked at him questioningly.

The Mustang boy shook his head. "My dad didn't tell me much about him, but this Kimblee guy was bad news. Apparently, during the Ishvalan Extermination, the psycho actually enjoyed murdering all those innocent people. On top of all that, he killed some of his fellow soldiers in cold blood. I'm guessing that's why he's locked up."

"God..." Trisha whispered, horrified.

"I guess it's a good thing, then, that he's not agreeing to help," Nina offered up, looking concerned. "That would be...that would have meant bad news for our parents."

The others looked at her sympathetically. Even though they weren't even through the first episode, they were already getting past and present tenses mixed up.

"I think you've got me all wrong! My motives aren't so sophisticated as revenge or honor or any of that."

It's a good thing he's restrained like that, Joshua thought, troubled, or else he could blow the whole prison to smithereens and escape.

"The reason I killed all those men...was because I could. It's that simple."

"Monster..." Trisha couldn't help but spit out, furrowing her brow as well. The country sure used to be filled with a bunch of crazy psychos.

"That's too bad, Kimblee. That truly is too bad."

"Keep up the good work."

McDougal pats a frozen soldier on the shoulder, causing the statue to fall down. The ice breaks upon impacting the floor.

The children flinched at the sound of the ice breaking, all of them feeling agony for the innocent man. Nina let out a small whimper.

"Maes, dear, what's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"Guess not..."

"I know what's in that head of yours. You're worrying about those boys, aren't you?"

"Can't say that I blame him," Aaron said sadly. He'd only seen his father and uncle fight with an anarchic alchemist, but even that was almost too much to think about.

"You do know what they call State Alchemists, right? The Dogs of the Military - not exactly a popular bunch. I try to imagine what that must be like, enduring that at his age..."

All the Elrics clenched their fists. While they didn't know much about their fathers' involvement in the military, they had learned a bit about it and the State Alchemists in their history classes, including the infamous nickname of the elite soldiers. Needless to say, they had despised the name instantly. Edward was such a kind and loving man, though he did keep up a tough facade sometimes, and to think that he was considered by many to be only a dirty mutt following orders was almost too much to bear.

Nina bit her lip. "And he's doing it all for his brother..."

They were all taken out of their thoughts when the image on screen changed.

"Brother...you awake? Miss Gracia's quiche...it looked a lot like Mom's, huh?"

"Yeah - almost as good, too."

"Really!? In that case, I'm definitely adding it to the list of things I'm gonna eat once I get my body back!

"Right! Put it on there! Right near the top!"

All the children smiled. It was nice to know that the brothers had been optimistic despite all they were going through.

"Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"I sure would like to get our old bodies back soon..."

"I know...Me too..."

"Oh, Dad..." That was all Nina could think of to choke out. Her father sounded so young and scared. Trisha and Aaron had similar thoughts.

"One more...One more, and Fuhrer Bradley is on his way to hell."

The whole group felt shivers down their spines, both from the man's ominous words and the threatening sound of violins playing in the background.

Suddenly, a picture of a determined looking Edward pops up on screen, his name written beside him, with a voice calling out, "Fullmetal Alchemist!" There is another cool picture of Alphonse, also with his name, and the voice calls out again.

Aaron jumped a bit, both surprised and confused. "The hell was that?"

His sister thrust a paper into his face. When he looked at her questioningly, she looked irritated. "I found it on the table. It's from Truth."

He sighed. "I don't even care anymore. Let's just assume this is going to happen every time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Elicia rubbed her temples. "I'm already getting sick of this guy."
