The Stone of Insanity

The train came to a stop the next morning. Juno let out a loud yawn as she groggily woke up. "What time is it?" She asked tiredly.

No one answered, not that she minded.

On the other hand, Yuna knew what was coming next. Dr. Marcoh and the Philosopher's Stone.

As if on cue, the aforementioned doctor and former State Alchemist passed by their train. Armstrong immediately recognized him, and thus their story began.

"You guys go on without me," Juno said with a yawn, lying down on a nearby branch.

"No way!" Edward denied, vehemently. "You're coming with us. Who knows what kind of trouble, if we leave you out here by yourself?"

"You shouldn't be talking, pipsqueak!" Juno retorted hotly. "You're the epitome of trouble!"

"Pipsqueak?!" Ed roared. He was ready to pounce on the blonde, only to be held back by Yuna.

"She didn't mean it!" Yuna frantically tried to calm him down. To no avail. She tried another tactic. "If we don't hurry, Dr. Marcoh would get away!"

That hit the trigger as Ed calmed down somewhat. He huffed. "You're right." Then he shot a glare towards Juno. "I still don't trust her alone though," he bit out, obviously still mad about his stolen pocket watch.

The brown haired girl couldn't blame him. "Don't worry, Juno won't go anywhere. Look at her! She's already asleep." She pointed over to her friend.

Ed's eyes trailed to where her finger was pointing to find that Juno was indeed sleeping on the bench, softly snoring away. He deeply exhaled.

"Alright. Let's just head to Dr. Marcoh's place and head back here before, Ms. Lunatic decides to wake up." He began walking away.

Yuna nodded in agreement, following after him.

Yuna quietly watched the whole scene from the anime play out before her. Ed and Armstrong asking for Marcoh's whereabouts, and the people of the small, not knowing his real name, praise him for his work.

They finally got the information they needed and stalked towards the doctor's house. The brunette wondered if she should warn Ed about standing too close to the door, but decided not to. Just the anime play it. And besides, it's not like he actually got shot. Close, but he didn't.

And just like that, a bullet rang out, freaking Ed out. The loud, startling bang caused Yuna to jump a little. She expected a gunshot, but she didn't expect it to be so loud.

After calming a hysterical Dr. Marcoh down, they were led inside.

Yuna, once again, remained quiet, absorbing everything happening around her. She listened to Marcoh's anguish about the Ishvalan Civil War. A war wouldn't have happened if the government was actually competent.

Then eventually the conversation drifted off towards the Philosopher's Stone. She watched everyone's, especially Ed and Al's, excitement pique in earnest. Why wouldn't they be ecstatic about hearing the doctor knew how to make the stone? This is the very thing that could return them to normal.

But she knew what the stone was made of… Thousands of live humans. The thought of it made her sick to her stomach. That someone could create something so horrible. And she has met horrible people. Juno's family for instance. But not even Juno's family would create something so inhumane. No, this was a more eviler than thou moment. A disgusting revelation that makes her friend's family look like saints in comparison.

She just couldn't do it. She just couldn't bare staring at that thing any longer.

"Where are you going, Yuna?" Al asked as he eyed her leaving. She cursed under her breath as everyone's attention was now on her.

Her brain quickly wracked up for any excuse. "I'm going to go check up on Juno," she quickly responded, inwardly applauding herself. "I'm sure she must be awake by now. And someone has to keep her in line. When she's alone, she gets...testy."

After that, Yuna left without another word.

It was about an hour later when Ed, Armstrong, and Armstrong carrying Al's crate arrived.

"So, how did it go?" Yuna asked, already knowing the answer.

Ed gave her a look that was too bittersweet. "I couldn't do it," he answered. "I couldn't take the stone from him. This town needs him and that stone."

"That's right," Al agreed. "We wouldn't want to rob this town of its only doctor."

Yuna smiled, nodding along with their decision. She knew that the brothers wouldn't take Marcoh's stone, knowing it would deprived the town of its only doctor. But it was still sweet to hear them to put other people's needs above their own. She sometimes wondered if the selfish, myopic, and self absorbed Ed of the first episode of the anime would have done the same thing. This scene really shows how much Ed's character developed in a span of a few episodes.

"Wow, that is really grown up of you, Ed." Juno stepped up.

Uh, oh. Yuna could sense the sarcastic quip in her friend's voice. And apparently, Ed could hear it to as his gold eyes narrowed.

"That was really sweet of you to give up your dreams for a bunch of strangers." She smiled at him. "You are a better person than I give you credit for."

Ed grinned, proudly, almost as if he has completely forgotten or perhaps overlooking the mockery in Juno's tone.

"You wuss!"

His grin fell.

The blonde smirked, mockingly. "Maybe you should buy yourself a dress while you're at it."

Edward's face immediately fumed in anger and fury.

Yuna sighed as another argument ensued. Why? Why does this have to happen?

(A/N: That's it! Any good laughs?)
