Me and My Chibi
Chapter 4- That gender-confused homunculus.
Ed burst through the door of Mustang's office.
"You're late again, Fullmetal." he stated cooly.
"Yes sir, I know."
"Care to explain yourself?"
"I was fighting Envy at home, sir."
"What!"
"Y'know Envy? That gender-confused homunculus."
Roy stared blankly at the short boy.
"I'm going to the library, later sir." said Ed as he left the room.
Noticing that Mustang and Ed had finished talking, Hawkeye entered the room, "what was that about, sir?" she asked.
Roy stood up, "Alert everyone, Hawkeye, there's a gender-confused homunculus on the loose!"

Ed sat in the library, rubbing his sore arm. "That stupid twig." he thought, "This had better not get infected."
The door clicked open and Ed looked up to find Al, standing in the doorway.
"Al?" said Ed, standing up, "You weren't supposed to be back for another two weeks. What happened?"
"Uh nothing, Chi-- I mean-- brother." the armour stuttered.
Ed cocked an eyebrow, "Geez Al, you sound weird, are you sure you're alright?"
Al twiddled his thumbs,"Did that happen during the fight?" he asked, pointing to Ed's arm, "I'm sorry."
Ed looked down at his wound. "Oh this? A stick scratched me this morning when-- hey..."
In a bright flash of light, Al became shorter and sprouted 'palm leaves'.
"Surprise, Chibi-san!" exclaimed Envy, pulling Ed into a hug.

"We must keep Fullmetal safe." Hawkeye stated.
"Good idea," replied Mustang, "We'll get him from the library."
The two of them walked down the halls.
"If the homunculus is after Fullmetal..." said Mustang as he opened the library door, "We'll need to-- what the hell!"
--- --- --- ---
Ed looked over at the door, "Mustang?" He pushed Envy off him. The sin fell to the floor.
"Fullmetal! What's going on?" the two officers asked and yelled at the same time. Hawkeye pulled out her gun and fired it at Envy, who dodged it and hid behind Ed.
Before anyone had a chance to do anything, Envy disappeared in a flash of light.
"Check the building!" Mustang commanded. Hawkeye ran out of the room in search of Envy. "Fullmetal, stay here." The Flame alchemist closed the door, before running in the opposite direction of Hawkeye.

"Thank goodness they're all gone!" sighed Ed.
As he walked over to the table he was sitting at (before the commotion) he felt something furry crawl across his forehead.
"Think again, Chibi-san." he heard a voice say.
Ed pulled the furry thing off his face and examined it. On his finger was a palm tree-haired caterpillar. The alchemist laughed as it crawled on to the table.
In another flash of light, Envy was sitting on the table, "Stop laughing, Chibi-san." he scowled.
"Envy, you have to get out of here, y'know." said Ed, "Mustang is looking for you."
"I'm not leaving without you Chibi-san." pouted Envy, "I can't leave you with that Flame alchemist."
Envy grabbed Ed's hand and pulled him out the window.
A/N: Not a great chapter, I know...
Guess what? I was in the nursery the other day. I found a palm tree and I could swear that it was smirking at me...
