Hello Everyone! We've finally reached over 100 reviews!!!!! WEWT!!!! So, I would like to give Sacalow a basket of virtual cookies celebrating the 100th review!
So, I went to the Packers game yesterday and I would like to say: I had the best time of my life! It was completely awesome! We were up a few rows from where the players exit the tunnel into the stadium! You could see the players extremely well! TV makes it look like the stadium is huge, but it feels small because you can see the players really well. The seats are only benches, so you can rent a seat cushion with a back to it and it was really comfy compared to what it looks like. I finally realized my dream of actually getting a foam finger! I even got a cheesehead hat as well! If you don't know what it is, look it up on google. It's a Wisconsin thing.
I ended up not going to the state fair, but its fine. I had a great time at the Packer game, so I'm good. So, now let us proceed with reviews!
The Silent Orion: Yes, the ending was a bit, blandish. Everyone will find out what's going on during this chapter during my dramatic: Plot Twist of Doom! *insert lighting and scary music* So, I really wanted to have some Fullmetal characters find out what yaoi is. It's a bit of a fangirl-ish dream of mine to do it and now was the perfect time!
The-ice-cold-alchemist: They finally saw the fanfics! Thanks for reviewing!
Inicol1990: I'll let you know if I do. Nothing yet though! I might steal your equation because I just really want to quote it! XD It made me laugh for about ten minutes! XD Yes, I know that I shouldn't rush! For everything else in my life, I'm told I'm too slow. Ironic, isn't it? I told her that and she says hi back!
Sugarboms898: Glad you like it!
Sacalow: MY 100 REVIEW!!! VICTORY!!!!!! *dances around* I literally did that in real life when the 100th review went up! XD
Okay, since I did notice this among all of the reviewers, I would like to saw that I'm proud of myself for this little hidden plot twist of mine. So, I'll give you all a hint about what plot twist I am talking about:
Look over the last section of the last chapter and see if you notice anything strange. Everything in it is intentional and I made it to see if you would spot it.
I am proud of myself for being subtle and I would like to tell you all that if you don't catch the subtle little plot twist, DON'T FRET! Things will begin to get clearer during this chapter. When I came up with the idea for this, I was laughing manically for about five minutes. Thank goodness my parents were not there at the time or I would be at a mental institute right now.
I'm not sure if I'm going to buy it or not. I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think of it!
iFlygon: Hahah! You're too slow! XD You know I'm only teasing you because you're my friend, right? =P I made a lot of typos? I need to get this damn spell checker updated on word then. ___ I think Roy finding the yaoi is very hilarious and I would guess that this would actually happen. I told her that you said happy birthday. She says thanks! Wait, you only know my name then? Okay, nevermind the 'damn shree' thing.
CrazyMellow102: Maybe Envy will take you to Disney world!
Envy: No.
Aw come on envy!
Envy: I said no!
Go or I'll lock you on the Small World ride for a straight 24 hours.
Envy: ............ Going! *zips off with CrazyMellow to Disney World*
I'm so good at negotiation. =P
Okay, so here is the newest chapter! Enjoy chapter 21!
Falling into Myself
Chapter 21
I wandered around the school yard since it was dark and I eventually took a break and sat on the pavement. I would need to find Mustang and the others soon. They had to be looking around for me. I decided to head over to the apartment where I assumed they were but I didn't have a key on me and it was about one in the morning so I decided to just wait it out and sleep outside the door.

"Where's Edward?" Vic asked and I shrugged. He had said he was going for a walk last night and he hadn't come back yet. It was morning. I sighed as I realized I would have to go looking for him.
"He better not have gotten kidnapped or injured again. If he did, I'll add some injuries to his list." Winry said and I chuckled. I knew she was worried.
"I'll go look for him. You can all stay here. I think I might know where he is." I said and slipped on my shoes and left. I walked slowly, looking around at the fields and I could see Riesmbool, lurching forward as I grew closer. I soon reached the town and I said hello to some old family friends as I walked by. Soon I had walked through to the other side of the town and reached the old dirt road that led to my house. I had rebuilt it and it looked pretty much the same as before we had burnt it down. I saw footprints in the path and I smirked to myself. However when it veered to the left suddenly, I hesitated. It was going completely opposite of the house. I looked towards home and sighed before following the newly formed path of footprints into the grass towards the woods. The woods weren't that big and before the transmutation, brother would always take me to go exploring in it. We even had made a tree house using alchemy in a high tree. I saw gold hair a few feet away from me and I smirked; until I looked closer. It was long gold hair. Envy. I turned heel and dashed as fast as I could back towards the house. I made it out of the woods and I couldn't hear anything following me in the woods. I didn't want to stop and find out if I was being followed or not. I jumped over the gate and whipped open the door and slammed it behind me, locking it as well. I heard footsteps running and soon brother was standing in the hallway.
"Al?! What's wrong?" He exclaimed and I sighed.
"Brother! It's actually you!" I said and he gave me a 'What the hell' look. I decided to catch my breath before explaining.
"I was in the woods, and I saw you. But that person had long hair. It was probably Envy." I said and brother's face paled.
"Come on, down to the cellar." He ordered and ad grabbed my wrist and we ran down to the basement and I heard him shudder.
"I know where it is brother." I said and he gave me a look. I went over to the corner and opened up the secret panel in the floor. When I looked at him, he smirked.
"So you've been reading my journals I'll kill you when we're sure that Envy isn't around." He said and we crawled into brother's cellar. He turned on a lamp before closing the entrance above us. It was pretty spacious down here! I never actually noticed that there was another room down here. Brother probably made this down here for himself since the ceiling went up to seven feet high.
"Were you here all night?" I asked and he nodded.
"I noticed something strange though." He said and I sat down and looked at him.
"What?"
"I went to go visit mom and I saw where my old body was buried."
"So? Everyone thought you were dead." I replied and he shook his head.
"It was recently buried. It looks like someone had just dug there. I paled.
"You don't think?" I asked and he closed his eyes and sighed.
"I think so." We were going to have to deal with a lot now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Roy's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I really do not trust the internet anymore. That yaoi thing gave me nightmares and I have no clue why the hell they paired me up with the midget! I'm not a gay pedophile people! I have a wife and kids! I have no clue where Hughes went, I'm starting to doubt if he was actually there at all. Well, Armstrong had fallen asleep in the middle of the living room floor and was doing the damn aerobic exercises in his sleep. I have no idea in hell about how he does it, but I'd rather not know. About an hour after I woke up and had my coffee, I got a phone call from Caitlin saying that they had made it to Dallas fine and we talked about how none of us could cook. She gave us some tips: which are the best take out restaurants. The conversation lasted a few minutes before I got out of my sleepwear and got dressed and opened the front door to get breakfast. What I didn't expect was the alchemy midget falling onto my feet.
"What the hell?!" He woke up with a start and sat straight up before turning to look at me and smiling sheepishly. "Good Morning Mustang!"
"How the hell did you get here?" I exclaimed and he shrugged.
"Gate pulled me through. Where are the others?" He seemed, different today.
"Where's Vic?" I asked and he frowned.
"Al was also kidnapped by Envy. I got them both out easily but I got pulled through the gate on my own."
"How's Riza doing?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't seen her in awhile." Well, there goes my one chance at news. I stepped around him and headed toward the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Edward called and I looked back at him.
"Going to get breakfast." I replied, "Do you want to come with or something?" He nodded and jumped up after me. He hasn't been sarcastic at all this morning and there have been no insults either. I guess he's just tired.
We got into my new car and we were trying to decide where to get breakfast.
"Mustang, can we stop at the school? I thought I saw something there last night." I nodded and turned onto the street where the school was. We got out of the car and he led me up to the roof and I looked around.
"There isn't anything up here." I said when I noticed a flash behind me. I turned around to see Fullmetal with his blade out. "What are you doing Fullmetal?" I asked cautiously and Edward smirked.
"Getting rid of what isn't necessary." Then he charged.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Al's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I jumped a little when I heard the front door to the house. Brother turned off the light so it couldn't be seen through the cracks of our only exit. It was pitch black and I could hear things getting destroyed around the house.
"Come out wherever you are Elric brothers?" Envy called in a mocking tone. He was going to kill us if we were found but I knew brother would fight to the death before he let Envy get to me. We heard Envy go to the second floor and brother jumped up and went to the door.
"Brother!" I whispered and he stopped.
"It's fine Al." He whispered back and I heard a soft clap and then the room lit up with blue alchemic light before it went to pitch darkness again. I heard Brother walk back slowly, trying not to make a lot of noise and I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.
"I transmuted the door into the floor so he won't find us." He whispered and I nodded, although he couldn't tell. We heard the loud footsteps going down the stairs again and the shattering of glass.
"If you're there Pipsqueak, you won't be able to hide for much longer. Your friends aren't going to last much longer." Envy yelled and we heard him walk out and there was complete silence. We waited for a couple minutes before we both sighed. I turned on the lamp again to see Brother frowning.
"I know you don't want to hide, but we had to this time brother." I said and I didn't get a response. "Brother?"
"We need to get back to Winry and Hawkeye." He said quietly. I nodded and he went over to transmute the door back into place. Who knew what Envy was up to and with Hawkeye out of commission due to Baby Elle, they could get into some big trouble. We both left the secret cellar and went up to the first floor. Nearly everything was destroyed.
"Damn it." I heard Brother mutter and I looked at him and gave a weak smile.
"Don't worry. I'll be able to fix everything." I said and the look the Brother gave me made me think that he didn't believe me. After a few seconds he let out a weak smile.
"Come on, let's go." I nodded and we ran out of the house. Something struck me as odd though, why would Brother's grave be dug up?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Roy's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was trapped. I didn't have my gloves on me, or even something to draw a transmutation circle with. Plus the fact that I'm on top of a very high rooftop don't help me at all either. I could tell that my shoulder, knees, and lower arm were bleeding and I was now at the edge of the roof.
"What's wrong Colonel? Worried that I finally snapped?" Edward mocked. He was standing a few feet away from me with him automail blade. I glared but I was starting to loose focus in my one eye. I had to stay awake. I was loosing too much blood.
"What the hell is wrong with you Fullmetal?" I spat and he shrugged.
"Maybe I actually became smart enough to realize that I needed to get rid of you." He said nonchalantly.
"What would Alphonse think?" I yelled and he only smirked. I paled. This wasn't Edward.
"So you finally realized who I am?" He asked with a childish tone, "But I'm not who you think I am. I'm not Envy."
"Who are you?"
"You'll never find out." Next thing I knew I was falling backwards. I felt a tremendous jolt of pain pulse through my body and the last thing I saw was a blurred image of Edward standing on the roof; smirking down at me.
Evil plot twists are so awesome! I bet you all didn't see that coming, eh? Mustang! NOOOOO!!!!! Sorry, but I needed a dramatic entrance for 'Ed' and Mustang falling off the roof of a building after having a rooftop battle seemed like a good way to do that.
So, I bet I had you either: shocked, confused, angry, crying out 'NOOO!', going 'Oh shit!', or squeeling at some point of this chapter! Please tell me what your reaction was during your next review! Now, review please! Let's go for 200 reviews now!
