Disclaimer- I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, If I did, once again, something like this would happen to Envy.

Envy hummed a little as he and Elysia walked down the streets. Riza and Roy were at work and he had offered to babysit Elysia for Gracia today and that was what he was doing. The two had lots of fun playing games at Riza and Roy's home but now he was taking her down to the park, and maybe get some icecream on the way back.

Elysia was positivly adorable with how excited she was.

He grinned as he stopped walking, "Hey, Elysia," He said.

Elysia turned to watch him with big eyes and smiling, "Yeah, Big Brother?" She asked, she had come to calling him her big brother and that just made Envy smile.

"How about you ride a horse to the park?" he asked and Elysia began jumping up and down as he knelt down, she instantly climbed onto his back, locking her arms around his neck and her legs around his side. Envy grabbed her legs to make sure she didn't fall and made a horse noise as he began 'galloping' down the sidewalk to the park.

He ignored the adults who watched and said things along the lines of 'aww, so cute!' or things like that. Sure he knew it was cute what they were doing, he just hated it when people commented on it. It was really annoying in his opinion.

Elysia was just giggling and screaming in laughter as they ran and that made Envy grin as well and make his movements a bit more like a gallop for her and she just squealed some more in joy.

And to soon they had reached the park.

Envy was about to let her down but Elysia just clung to his back tighter.

"No! I want to stay on Horsey!" She pouted.

Envy just grinned, "As you wish, mi'lady," He laughed and then just started running some more, going in circles, straight lines, just random directions wich made her laugh and ask for him to go faster, which Envy pleasently agreed to.

About what felt like twenty minutes, Envy collasped face first on the ground, panting for breath.

"Elysia, I think Horsey needs to take a break," He panted and gave her a smile.

Elysia nodded then lied down next to him stairing at the sky, "Can we go on the swings?" She asked sitting up and looking at him eagerly.

Envy nodded, "Yeah, let me just catch my breath a little," He said and struggled to sit up, streatching his arms over his head so he could get more air in his lungs. After two minutes he stood up and raced Elysia to the swings.

She climbed onto the swing and he began pushing her, Elysia smiling and laughing the whole time and making Envy grin as well.

"Big Brother! Watch this!" Elysia said as the swing went into the air and she leapt off of it, falling to the ground and rolling a bit. Envy caught the swing when it came back to him and ran to her.

Kneeling beside the younger girl he examined her head to toe, "You alright, Elysia?" He asked.

Elysia smiled, "Yeah," She said, rubbing a scrape she got on her arm, "Just a rough landing!" Envy laughed at that.

She stumbled to stand up and ran to the jungle gym, "I'm going to play on this!" She said climbing it and Envy nodded sitting down and watching.

While he was watching, something in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He stood up and began walking to the tree he saw it in and looked up to see a girl his age crouched on a high branch with a small panda...cat...a small black and white animal perched on her head.

"Um, hi?" He greeted as he examined her, she was definently from Xing.

She looked at him, "Hi," She said back, "Is that your little sister?" She asked gesturing to Elysia who was runing towards Envy.

Envy grinned and shook his head, "No, just a friend I'm babysitting today," He explained, wrapping an arm around Elysia as she clung to his side. "What's your name?"

She smiled, "I'm May Chang, this is Xiao-Mei," she said gesturing to the tiny pana.

Envy nodded, "I'm Envy Hawkeye," He said, "And this is Elysia Hughes," he added patting Elysia's head. "What are you doing up in that tree?" He asked.

May glanced around before whispering, "I'm hiding from the police," she said.

Envy blinked, he was not expecting this girl to be a criminal, "Police? What did you do? Steal?" he asked wanting to know what she did, all the while instinctivly putting a protective arm over Elysia incase this girl was a killer.

The ten year old Xing girl shook her head, "No, I'm actually an illegal immigrant," she explained, "I'm on a mission for my clan."

Envy grinned, "Oh, so your one of the Xing emperors daughters? Judging from your last name your from the Chang clan?" he asked.

The Xingese princess nodded, surprised that he knew, "Yeah, how did you know?" She asked.

"Heh, well I'm actually a lot smarter then anyone gives me credit for," A scowl formed when he added the last part. People tended to think of him as some idiot, but idiots don't know how to start bloody wars, manipulate, or any of the things he's done.

He was about to say something else when May's and the pandas stomach growled.

"Oh...yeah I haven't eaten today," May admitted.

Envy just blinked before laughing, "STay there," He said walking away, carrying Elysia with him.

Elysia grinned as they walked, "She's a princess? That is so cool!" She said and Envy nodded.

"Yeah, the Xing emperor has to have a child in every clan so she has like fourty two siblings," He explained, "Go to Xing, it'll be hard not to run into royalty," He joked.

Elysia started talking about how she wants to be a princess and things as Envy walked them to an icecream stand.

"Hi, I would like four vanilla icecreams," He said, and at the mans look, "We're meeting two friends and we're getting the icecream for the four of us," He explained as the guy went and got the ice cream.

Envy handed two of them to elysia and carried the other two, "Only eat one of them, Elysia, the other one is for Xiao-Mei," He said.

As they reached the tree, Envy looked up at the princess and panda, "Hey, you guys want ice cream then come down," He ordered.

there was a small pause before the two leapt from the tree and Envy grinne as he and Elysia handed them an ice cream cone.

xXxX

Envy, Elysia, May and Xiao-Mei sat on the hill as they watched the pond.

"So, May, you never did tell us what you, an illegal immigrant, are doing here in Central," Envy said glancing at the girl.

May hesitated before taking on a serious expression, "I'm looking for the key to immortality," She said.

Envy stared at her, before letting out a groan and falling on his back, "Oh come on! Is that all humans think about now?" He whinned.

May blinked at him, "'Humans'? Envy, your human too," She pointed out.

He just let out a laugh and gave her a toothy grin, "Actually, I'm a Homunculus." He said.

"A...A homunculus?" May asked in shock.

Elysia blinked not understanding what they were saying but ignored it all.

He nodded, "Yep, artifical human, made by alchemy," He explained, "Homunculi are the closest thing to immortality you can obtain as we can be killed so many times but just keep coming back," He bragged.

May stood up, "Then it's decided, Envy, you are going to Xing with me," She declared.

the two others just stared at her before Envy shrugged, "Sorry, Princess, but I'm not immortal anymore," He explained, "Gate stripped me of everything that made me a homunculus. I know how they are made and how the Philosophers Stone is made, but I am not going with you to Xing, nor am I telling you the secrets unless I know I can trust you with them," He said.

May glared at him before nodding, "I can understand that," She admitted.

Envy grinned, "So let's start out as friends," He said holding out his hand, "And maybe If I know I can trust you with all that information, I'll tell you it," He said.

May nodded and shook his hand. "Better be ready to spill those secrets then!"

Just for those wondering why I put 'Envy Hawkeye', Envy was adopted by Roy and Riza now, but he took Riza's last name instead or Roys since Riza and Roy aren't married yet. And I think it's obvious for everyone he prefers Riza over Roy, right?

And yeah, I needed to know Mays age because I wanted to bring in Her, Ling, Foo, and Lan Fan in later.

Review and tell me what you thought of it.
