Hello, everybody!

I am no longer grounded from "da compy." Thank you Sari for writing that review to explain.

I just looked up Ed's height, and what do you know, we're both the same height! Freaky, huh?

Ed: I'll say.

Me: ;)

Ed: OO

Disclaimer: Yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah, I don't own FMA...

Yay for reviews! I'm swimming in them! More! MORE!

-line thing still isn't working-

Sari shoved Roy into a closet and Shari followed him in to untie him, closing the door behind her.

Sari sighed. Buut wait! Julia would still freak out when she saw Ed and Al! Well, not as M-rated as her reaction to Roy tied to a chair. Oo.

Magi opened the door and let Julia inside. Julia immediately took notice of Ed and Al and was about to glomp them, but then she sniffed and ran upstairs.

On the way into Magi and Sari's room, Julia bumped into Roy. She sniffed the air and scowled.

"Hey, Envy, you're not Roy!" she said, and promptly shut herself in the closet Roy had been in.

So you know, Julia is a total nut job when it comes to Roy Mustang.

Roy's usual sneer turned into a look of surprise, but then went back to the sneer.

Wait, does Roy sneer constantly? Who do we know that's always sneering? Hmmm.

Roy walked downstairs to go outside.

Meanwhile, Harriet was telling Ed about Julia's Roy obsession.

"I tell you, she is a nut job!" insisted Harriet.

"Whatever."

Roy stepped out and sneered at them. "Heh heh heh..."

Bum bum BUM!

Ed frowned. "What are YOU doing here?"

"What are you talking about? It's me, Roy."

"I didn't say you were someone else. Yet. But you are."

Harriet looked from Ed to Roy, and then back to Ed. "Am I missing something here?"

"Stupid little girl. At least the runt knows who I am. And the nutcase running up the stairs."

Roy suddenly changed into a palm tree. No, wait, Envy. But same difference.

Ed did the obvious thing: He turned purple and freaked out.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUNT SO TINY YOU STEP ON HIM?" he spazzed, waving his arms around making strange gestures.

"You. Now, what the crap are you wearing?"

Edward looked down at the bunny suit he was still wearing. Suddenly, Magi and Sari ran out of the house. They had seen Envy through the window and were thoroughly freaked out.

Ed knew he would have to fight. He weighed his choices in his head.

He could fight in the bunny suit. But that would restrict movement and make him look like an idiot in front of the girls.

He could fight in his underwear. That would just make him look like an idiot in front of the girls.

"Oh well. Here goes." Ed took off the bunny suit and was left standing in his purple boxer shorts, mentioned back in chapter 8.

Harriet, Magi, and Sari began to giggle uncontrollably.

"Interesting color choice, shrimp," commented Envy.

"Shut up and fight, you moron." Ed clapped his hands and put them on the ground. A spike came up through the ground underneath Envy.

Envy easily dodged it and jumped into the air to attack Ed.

The three girls held their breaths as Envy seemed to fall in slow motion towards Ed, still ducked to the ground.

Envy snickered and grabbed Ed by the neck. "Puny human! You can't defeat me! Muahahahaha!"

Harriet, without thinking, put her hands on the ground.

To everyone's surprise, the ground reached up and pulled Envy into itself most of the way. Envy let go of Edward in shock.

"But you didn't put your hands on the ground, shrimpy. How-" Envy's eyes narrowed to slits and he looked at Harriet. "I see..." He then changed into a water snake and escaped into the stream, eager to pass on this interesting tidbit of information.

"Dammit, he got away!"

Harriet was staring at her hands. WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?

"WTF! You just freaking used alchemy! How the fuck did you use alchemy?" shouted Ed.

Harriet just kept staring wide-eyed at her hands. Ed waved his hand in front of her face. "Hello? You awake? Yoohoo! How the crap did you do that? I didn't see a transmutation circle, and you don't have automail!"

"I... don't... know..."

Ed gasped. "Oh snap! Envy knows now! Which means all the homunculi know! Shitshishitshitshitshit!"

Sari looked thoughtful for a moment. "I like owls." Everybody looked at her.

"'I like owls?' That's all you have to say about this?" said Harriet, shaking her head and looking up from her hands.

"Blargles!"

"Wait, but if that was Envy, where are Shari, Julia, and Roy?"

They all ran upstairs and opened the closet door.

They all managed to catch a glimpse of what they thought was Riza with a gun pointed at Julia's head, but they decided they were just seeing things.

In the closet, Roy was still tied to a chair and Julia was huddled in a corner, mumbling something about Riza's gun.

Magi beat the rest of them to the question. "But where's Shari?"

-line thingy still doesn't work-

So, yeah. It's a bit short like Ed (Ed: SHUT UP!), but the next chapter will be longer.

By the time I'm finished with this story, it will be more like a short novel.

And there will be a sequel. So keep reading and reviewing! o
