Thanks everyone who reviewed! This chapter is kinda short compared to most other chapters that I right too, but at least it's longer than the last one, right? Skrew you guys, you don't care.

Here's the next chappy anyways

"Um….*cough* what the hell?" Ed stood on the sky deck on his way to 'work'; Zack and Woody were sprawled on the floor in positions that didn't look very comfortable.

"Winry… attack… it hurts so much!" Woody said.

"Well, of course it would… what did you do to get her so mad?"

"Two words. Changing Rooms."

"Oh you two are unbelievable!" Ed said with a slight blush. "Of course a girl would beat on you for that!" He stepped over Woody and got behind the smoothie bar. Nina skipped up.

"Hi, Big Brother!" She said with a smile.

"Hey, Nina." Ed smiled at her. "What would you like?"

"Um…. Strawberry for me and Daddy wants a Berry Blast." She said sweetly.

"All right." Ed started with Nina's shake. He looked back at her and she looked a bit sad. "What's wrong, Nina?"

"Daddy's spending too much time working… he won't play anymore…"

"Well I'm sorry to hear that…" That's when he saw the scabbed over scratch on her arm. "What happened to your arm?"

"Daddy wanted to take some blood samples from me… he cut me…"

Is that where that blood came from? "Why'd he want blood samples?"

"I don't know…" Is he gonna hurt her like he hurt her in Amestris?

"Why don't you come play with me after I'm done with work? "

"Really, could I? Could I?"

"Yup!" He smiled and ruffled her hair. Her smoothie was soon finished and he started on Shou's. I'm gonna have to ask him some questions…. Ed didn't like the idea that he cut her, that was a long scratch, he had a feeling it was more than just taking 'samples'.

Nina sat there for a while, drinking her smoothie and talking with Ed. After a while she took Shou's smoothie and started walking away. "You're gonna play with me right?" She asked

"Yeah, don't worry." Ed replied. She smiled and skipped away.

One of the others who worked at the smoothie bar came and Ed left. He ran up to his room to change and ran into Shou on the way. "Oh, Edward, what a pleasant surprise."

"I'm busy, what do you want?" Ed replied coldly.

"What's wrong? You seem upset."

"Never mind…" He continued to his room, Envy was lying on his bed.

"'Sup, pipsqueak?"

"I'm not in the mood!"

"Hm?" The Homunculus sat up. "What's got your panties in a bunch?"

"Nothing..." Ed quickly changed and ran out of the room. He walked his way to where the Tuckers were staying. He knocked on the door… no reply. He knocked again. No reply… He started pounding on the door. "Tucker, if you're in there, I SWEAR!"

The knob turned and the door came open. "Oh, Edward, I'm sorry, Nina isn't here..."

"Where is she?" Tucker remained silent. "Tell me, damn it!" When he didn't reply a second time, Ed ran into the room and searched the bedroom. Then he spotted her.

She was curled up into a ball… in a pool of blood. "I'm sorry Edward…" Shou placed a hand on the Elric's shoulder.

"Why did you do this?"

"She flinched when I tried drawing the blood…"

"She's you're daughter! What are you doing cutting her?" He turned and glared at the man.

"It's all for research, Edward…"

"Research my ass! You killed your own daughter!"

"Edward, those no need to get so upset."

"You killed her, damn it! Yes there is!" He grabbed the collar of Tucker's shirt. "You're a murderer!" That's when fist connected with jaw as Ed began beating on the man. He was gonna kill him… for hurting Nina again.

He hadn't realized the door was still open, people could hear the argument and now the beating and Tucker's cries. "I'm not gonna let you get away with this!" He pulled his automail back when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Ed, don't do this…" He turned his had towards the owner of the hand….

"Bailey?" It wasn't just her; it was the others of their little group. "Guys…" Winry walked in and ran over to Ed, giving him a hug.

"It's ok Ed…"

He let it out… he let it all out. He cried into Winry's shoulder, not wanting the others see his tears. It seemed worse than the first time he lost Nina. He felt like he could've stopped it and failed to. "I'm so sorry Nina… so sorry, so sorry!"

Ed sat outside the room with his face in his knees. Kirby and Moseby had received complaints and were checking it out. Moseby walked out and crouched down in front of Ed. "You gonna be ok?"

"I could've stopped him… but I didn't…."

"He's being taken into the ships custody and we'll give him to the officials at our next stop. No one could've seen this coming." The African-American tried to reassure the boy.

"What about what I did to him?"

"You're not getting in trouble for it."

"…"

"Why don't you head back to your room, you're gonna get school off for the rest of the week, ok?"

"Yeah." Ed slowly stood and walked towards his room. He plopped head first into his pillow. He didn't want to ever leave the bed. "I'm sorry, Al… I couldn't save her…" He drifted off to sleep.

Bailey, Cody, and Winry stood in front of Ed's bedroom door talking over a way to cheer him up a bit. "What does he like?" Bailey asked.

"Ramen, Alchemy, studying, he hates milk… and he probably misses Alphonse."

"Alphonse?"

"His brother."

"I was reading about alchemy and I think I found our solution to bringing him here." Cody noted.

"Really?" Both girls ask in unison.

"Yeah."

"Let's try it! We have to get Ed to agree to it though." Winry said. "Do you know of any side effects?"

"It puts the one who performs it into a coma for a week, but that's the most it's done before."

"All right!" Winry turned to the door and gave three loud knocks. "It's open…" Ed said from inside. The three walked in. "Hey, Ed…"

"Hi, guy s…" He sat up and looked at them.

"Um…. Cody…." Bailey began.

"I found a way to bring your brother here… but you'll be put into a week long coma…"

"That's it?"

"Yeah."

"That still won't help the fact I didn't save Nina."

Wirny gave the short blond a hug. "Don't worry, Ed, you couldn't have stopped it and you know that."

"I guess you're right."

"It'll take a while for me to find all the arrays, so you'll have to wait for a bit." Cody stated.

"All right." Ed nodded. They were going to bring his brother back, how could he not be even the slightest bit excited? For once something good was gonna happen to him.
