I'm sorry if your eyes melted after reading the last chapter, I'm definitely gonna rewrite it when I get the chance. This chapter is much better, and as I promised it is longer. Thanks for reviewing! They always help keep me going when in being lazy.

Enjoy!


Ed really should've been switched with a black cat. His luck seemed to get worse every minute. The Colonel bastard, as Ed liked to call him, was coming with them. He was coming to HELP them. The words Help and Mustang did not go together.

"What!" Edward snapped, his eyes blazing with anger and disbelief "No, we can handle him." he looked to Al for help but his brother suddenly found that the floor was very interesting.

Mustang shook his head as he bustled around his office, he was busy collecting the papers off the floor and stacking them back on to the desk "I'm not taking no for an answer Fullmetal, you wont be able to beat him alone." he looked up and gestured to Ed "You're a cat."

Ed had begrudgingly agreed. The alchemist had been running north so they decided that it was best to follow him. They just needed to jump on the earliest train north.

After buying two tickets they started walking to the train. Ed was hidden in Al's armor and his bag was hanging from his brothers hand. Mustang was carrying a small case that Ed guessed was filled with his supplies , or maybe some paperwork to keep him 'entertained'.

Ed sighed, as much as he hated the Bastard he had to agree that Hawkeye was ruthless so it was completely possible that he had paperwork to do, even on a mission.

After they bought the tickets they were rushed onto the train along with a few other people.

Al got the usual stares and whispers. Ed was tempted to leap out of the armor and give then a good scare. In the end he stayed in the armor. He didn't want to blow their cover. Or give anyone a heart attack.

When they were settled Al opened up his armor and Ed crawled out, stretching and grumbling about how uncomfortable it was "I swear," he complained loudly "That was one of the most uncomfortable places-"

Roy wrapped his hand around Eds muzzle "Cats can't talk Fullmetal." he growled glaring down at him "And hide before someone sees you."

Slapping Mustangs hand away with his paw Ed stumble back against the seat his ears laid back with irritation "What the hell!" Ed snapped, his voice low "You could have just told me, you didn't have to suffocate me."

Roy sighed "Stop talking so loud and I won't have to suffocate you." setting down his bag on the seat beside him he leaned forward on his elbows "Now, do you have any idea why he wanted your body?"

Eyes flickering with irritation, Ed waved the tip of his tail "I already told you, I don't know."

Al shifted in his seat, his armor clanking "Maybe he wanted to use his body for experiments..." he started hesitantly "Switching minds can't be an easy task, this must be a rare occurrence."

Roy nodded slowly "I suppose he might be doing experiments..." he shook his head "No, unless he has a larger group and better equipment it would be impossible. He might end up killing Fullmetal, then he would be out of a test subject. " he looked down at the small cat "And I don't think any of Eds enemies would help an alchemist, even if he had his body."

"That's because they respect me too much." Ed boasted, fluffing out his chest fur.

Roy smirked "Ya, I'm SURE that's the reason." he placed his hand on his bag, just encase he had to deflect a flying cat.

Ed glared at him and opened his mouth to say something when the train lurched to a stop. Ed yelped as his little body was thrown from the seat, he tumbled into Mustangs lap.

Mustang jumped to his feet before he realized where Ed was and the cat ended up on the floor.

"Why would you do that!" Ed snarled, prying his face of the floor.

"Brother!" Al bent down and picked up his brother, gingerly placing him in the crook of his armored arm.

A voice echoed around the train, "We are sorry for the delay, we will be moving again so-" the speaker stopped and a crash resonated through the train.

It was completely silent for a split second, then a voice boomed "Where's the Fullmetal Alchemist?"

Everyone in the train froze, they looked around for the small golden haired alchemist whispering to each other. They stopped as a door opened.

A tall guy with a gun strapped to his back walked in, a handgun in his right hand "Where is he?" he growled at a young couple sitting a few seats ahead.

A yelp of alarm escaped the man as he flinched away from the gun, crushing the girl against the window.

"Wow," Ed snickered, rolling his eyes "he's SO manly."

Roy glared daggers at him, holding up his hand to silence the talkative cat. He pulled his hat down over his eyes, he unlatched his bag and pulled out one of his alchemy gloves slipping it on his left hand.

Ed had just looked around Als shoulder when a hand seized him by the scuff, his muscles seized up making it impossible for him to move. Al grasped for him but his fur sliding off the metal as he moved clumsily.

"Found him!" his captor yelled, waving Ed around like a trophy, jumbling his thoughts.

Mustang jumped to his feet "Let him go!" his fingers prepared to snap. Al shot to his feet, his hand clenched and ready to knock out the man holding his brother.

The tall guy laughed and put Ed up as a shield "I wouldn't do that if I were you." he warned loading his gun and putting it up to the small cats head.

His smile wavered as he realized what he was doing, the rest of the people whispering around them. Shaking his head he slowly moved back. Ed could practically hear his thoughts, he did look foolish holding a gun to a cats head.

Ed knew he had to do something before they got out of the train. He struggled against the grip that held him, yowling with rage, words that should not have been said, even by a human, shot out carelessly. Before the door closed behind them he caught a glimpse of Al and Mustang standing to follow.

As soon as they jumped off the train Ed made his move, he relaxed like he was out of energy, the tight grip around him loosening. Then he twisted violently and suddenly, sticking his sharp claws into the hand around him, feeling the satisfying tear of skin around his claws.

Yelling in pain he dropped Ed and took a step back, long streaks of red forming on his hand "You bastard!" he yelled flicking his hand around like an idiot, trying to stop the stinging pain.

Ed landed on his feet, the rock covered ground slowing his turn as he burst into a run. As much as he hated to flee but he didn't have a choice in this condition.

Before he had got more than ten feet a wall of legs blocked his view, causing him to skid to the side to avoid a head-on crash.

Spinning, his ears laid back with irritation, he was surprised to see the one blocking his escape "Oh my god!" his fur spiked up "It's Cupcake!"


The return of Cupcake. How was it? I hope it was better than the last chapter. Sorry for the OCCness of the characters and for the mistakes that are most likely in there. Unfortunately for you guys i'm still working on my writing skills so bare with me. Anyways, Thanks for reading! Please review!
