I might be unable to update next week, I am so sorry. I have to do a summary on the big bang and write a 4 act play just for an extra class I am in because I get all A's. They think we have no life or anything. I will try to do what I can.

Chapter 7: Mall

As soon as they had got to the mall Riza had run off with Ed. Roy was left to go look around, well really he was left to go buy the food his house seemed to lack. So he went to west wing.

A half hour later he was done shopping, taking the bags to the car, and making his way to the area Riza said she took Ed to. Roy was standing outside the store looking up at the sign. No way in hell did he ever think Riza shopped at a place called "Girl World". Girl gunner maybe, but girl world? He took a deep breath and looked into see if they might sell bullets or maybe a tank or 2 that would come in handy getting him to do work. When he did see what they sold his jaw dropped. They sold women's cloths, and not just shirts but the stuff under it.

He was trying to figure out how they got the underwear on one of the mannequins when he spotted the 2 blonds. They were checking out with 4 whole bags of stuff, all of which Roy bet was for Ed as no tanks were in sight. He was about to walk over when Ed turned around and spotted him. He was amazed at how fast Ed managed to go to pale white, to a dark red, then a light pink, and finally ended up with a mix of all of them on her face.

Riza grabbed the bags and turned to leave, spotting Ed she looked up to see Roy. Roy saw her bend down and whisper something in Ed's ear, which helped her become a healthy red. Ed looked to her and nodded, they then started to walk towards Roy.

"Ok, now we have to get Evelyn shoes since we just got all the shirts and pants she will need. You coming Roy?" Riza said as she just kept on walking past Roy, Ed behind her.

"What? Oh yes!" And he turned to catch up as they turned the corner.

"So what all did you guys get?" Roy asked as he caught up. He noticed Ed tuned an Even deeper shade of red.

"Really Roy, we got her shirts and pants and bras and pink underwear. We also picked up some socks, you do know what that is, right?" Roy turned Red as she was talking.

"Yes I do know what socks are. Did you have to say bras and underwear?" He looked away, trying to hide the bit of a nose bleed he now had.

"Yes, if you do not what to hear it then don't ask next time."

"Fine," Roy said as they walked into a shoe store. "What kinds of shoes are you going to get Ed- I mean Evelyn?" Roy fixed himself since to store had a lot of people near the front. He would Waite till no one was around to call her Ed like they had planned.

Ed seemed to think about it for a bit before, "I think some flip-flops for around the house and on weekends. I was going to wear the boots that come with the uniform."

"Ok," and they headed to the back where the spring and summer shoes were, since it was fall.

Half an hour later all the boxes and bags were out in the car, thanks to Roy. The three of them were walking to the food court since it was a little after noon. Ed and Riza were talking, Roy was just looking around. "Hey Roy, we will have to stop and get Evelyn a hat or two. That way she can leave her hair go." When she said hair she tilted her head, Roy got what she wanted him to know. She had meant Ed's ears not her hair.

"Good idea we can do it after lunch."

"We also have to get her an extra pair of earrings then," Roy looked over at her an eyebrow raised. "We got them priced while you were off getting food. She liked how it looked." Roy looked down at Ed and she pretended to be fixing her hair, showing Roy the black horse earrings she had in.

"Mmm I like them," Roy said looking back up. "So what are we eating for lunch?"

"How about we stop and get pizza?" Riza said looking around.

"Ok, how about you guys get the food and I'll get us a table." Ed said when she saw how packed it was.

"Kay what kind do you want?"

"Just get me plane Riza."

"Could you get me pepperoni Riza? I want to find a seat with Evelyn."

"Sure, be right back." And with that Riza turned and walked off the find the pizza. Roy and Ed turned the other way.

"So where do you want to sit Evelyn?"

"Hmm... How about there?" And Ed pointed to a corner table that could seat 4. There were flowers and a fake tree right by it, the chairs were a black and the table was white with a light blue mixed in.

"Ok let's sit."

Roy and Ed sat there next to each other just talking, neither knew how long it was before Ed saw Riza and someone else talking. "Is that Kain Fuery with her?" Ed pointed to where Riza was carrying a tray next to Fuery who had only a plate.

"Yap I think so. But Why?" Roy and Ed were to into trying to figure out why to notice they were there till Riza dropped the tray in front of them.

"Here is the pizza, Roy I bumped into Fuery and thought that it was a good idea to introduce him to Evelyn since she will be joining the team. I also invented him to come and eat lunch with us. I told him all about how we are showing her around and helping her get the things she needs since she just moved here." Riza gave a little move of her head to show the 2 to play along.

Both of them played along perfectly. "Good that's one less person I will have to tell Evelyn about come Monday. Well Fuery this is Evelyn, she will be joining out team come Monday." As he said this he pointed to Ed who was sitting next to him.

"Hi nice to meet you Fuery." Ed said as she held out her hand

"Nice to meet you to." Fuery said shaking Ed's hand. Suddenly Fuery noticed the sliver watch around Evelyn's neck, "Oh so you're a start alchemist?" He smiled at her as he let her hand go.

"Wha- Oh yes." Ed fixed herself just in time.

"That would make it three state alchemist on one team, won't it? Is that ok?" Fuery looked at Roy and Riza.

"Yes why would it not be?" Roy raised an eyebrow at his young friend who was sitting down.

"It's just that most teams have only two if they are lucky, and since we already have you and Ed I wasn't sure if we could have one more. I thought that they might have any new Alchemist go to a team with only one." Fuery said off handedly.

"Well Evelyn Knew me and Roy and asked if she could join our team when they told her she would be transferred to central." Riza lied to Fuery as she sat down herself.

"Oh ok," he seemed happy with the lie.

"Oh," Riza suddenly said. Everyone at the table looked at her expectedly . "I just realized I forgot to pick up your uniform Evelyn, I give it to you on Monday ok." Ed just nodded and so the group started to eat their lunch.

It was after lunch and the group was walking thought the mall, not going any where really. Roy and Riza had dropped back when Ed and Kain started to talk about new music and the kind of stuff that teen were into. Riza and Roy just left them had space since they were still young.

Mean while the older couple were talking about what to do about Evelyn. "You know I don't think Al knows about this." Riza said stopping.

"You didn't call him?" Roy asked looking back at her as he stopped to.

"How could I? He's in Xing with Mei. I could try to Ling later and see if He could get a hold of them." Riza replied while thinking about what she was saying.

"I thought that," Roy glanced around," Ed knew the number."

Riza thought for a moment then shock her head. "No, before this I asked why he never called Al and he said he forgot to get the number before they left for the trip."

Roy was about to respond to that when he was roughly pushed aside, looking up to see who pushed him he say a man running in a black

t-shirt and black shorts. He had blonde hair a bit lighter then Ed's, thought it was only shoulder length. Roy looked behind him to see why the man was running but only saw a confused looking Furey and Ed in front of another hallway. Ed was on the ground and Kain was beside her on his knees. He turned and started to walk towards them, Riza right behind him. "What is he running from?" Roy asked the two young people standing in front of him.

"No clue," Kain replied.

"We were going past here and he just comes running by and knocks me to the ground." Ed said, Getting up.

"Come on let's just keep going." And with that Riza went to sit on a bench while she waited for them.

"She's right lets go." Roy went and sat beside her finishing what he had been about to say.

"Here," Furey said helping Ed up. "You ok Evelyn?"

Ed never got to replay because before she could both her and Furey were engulfed in a bright light. Both Roy and Riza watched wide. When the light reached its highest a man in a military uniform stepped out of the hall and smirked. "Got you now thief," he said when the light started to fade. When he could see past the light the man's eyes went wide. "What the? You're a girl!" He said taking a step back.

Roy was right beside him in moments and was about to snap till he saw the scene before him.

Furey was on his knees, his arms wrapped lightly around Ed who was leaning on him. Ed's hands were tied behind her back by a small ring of ice. The same kind of ring was around her knees keeping her from moving.

When Roy saw it part of him told said to burn Furey with this jerk. 'WHY?' Furey was a friend of his and didn't do anything. Roy pushed it aside as he held up his hand, fingers together, and said quite clearly. "What do you think you're doing?" The man before him turned eyes winding when he looked at the man behind him.

"Roy?" Roy lowered his hand when he heard his name being said. Roy blinked a few times before he could finally talk.

"Buch is that you?"

"Yes," The man said. He had gray hair. His skin had a dark tan on it and he wore brown boots instead of the military black ones. Around his neck was a chain at the end of witch hung an array.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but could someone please melt this ice, It's really cold." Ed tried to move to see a little bit better but gave up after a bit.

"Oh sorry miss, my eye sight isn't what it once was. You looked just like him from the other end of the hall."Buch said getting ready to let his alchemy go.

"Here I'll melt it." Roy said stepping forward, that small part telling him to burn Furey to. When Roy snapped he made sure it was only heat no fire, but he let the heat burn part of Fureys shirt. "Oh sorry your shirt was too close to the heat." Roy flatly stated as Furey dropped Ed and tried to put out the embers. When Ed got up she glared at Furey.

"Thanks for catching me Furey but next time give me a heads up before you drop me." Kain just turned Redder then the embers on his shirt.

"Here," Roy said offering the young blond girl his hand.

"Thank you Ro-OY!" As she went to get up she tripped and fell into Roy. The moment he saw her fall he put his hands up to catch her.

They stayed like that for a moment, Ed leaning in Roy's arms.

That was till Buch whistled. Ed jumped back when she hear it. "Oh, um, thanks Roy."

"No problem," they both looked down.

Ok so I just went back over this and fixed some mistakes. I have got to take my time typing I ended up typing Bars not Bras!
