Surprisingly a second part to this story. As always if you spot any errors
please let me know and C&C is always appreciated.
FMA doesn't belong to me It belongs to some very intelligent but judging by
ep 00 and Hughes crazy people in Japan.
"Ed, have you found out anymore information about your illustrious ancestor recently?" Riza quietly asked as they were studying for their next history test. "Ever since your revelation I've been doing some research of my own into the story and there are still some gaping holes in it."
"What you don't trust me I'm shocked Riza, just shocked." Ed Smirked as he remembered some of his more *annoying* stunts.
"Well yes, but that's beside the point in this case. How in the world did our families hide the information about the discovery of the Philosopher stone? You think that making it would be a big event and published in all the trade magazines of the time. I've searched and searched the libraries and have only found a couple of mentions of an Edward Elric and those were pretty hard to find. From what I've found Edward became a state alchemist at the tender age of 12, which we already knew, beating the previous youngest state alchemist record by 5 years and that was Roy Mustang. The other mention of him was in an obituary for a Maes Hughes, he's Gracia's great, great x2 grandfather. Hughes must have been very important and special to our family because in the list of who attended the funeral, were most of our ancestors. That was all the information that I could find in reputable sources, less reputable sources (ie the gossip rags) had more information on the Full Metal Alchemist and Roy Mustang. According to them the Full Metal Alchemist was quite the Ladies Man, his name was attached with Winry's, Pisern (a thief), and Elysia. They keep comparing him to Roy Mustang, who they called a perfect Ladies Man and heartbreaker (which we already knew from Riza's journal). The image the government projects about him being so chaste and pure, completely dedicated to his government is definetly false. Considering how our family runs the government though it really makes me wonder what they are doing and why they are finally releasing more info about ... Ed!"
Here she was rudely interrupted by the sound of snoring and finally noticed that Ed had fallen asleep while listening to her talk and working on his homework.
"Ed pay attention, this is important. If we want to find out what our family is keeping from us then we need all the info that we can find on these people!"
"Well, I've done my part and I know that you will find the rest of that info for me" Ed replied as he stood up and gathered his school supplies together. "Oh, while you're doing all of that research, see what you can find on an alchemist named Dr Marco, he had something to do with the stone." And with that he left the library while whistling merrily.
"Arrg, that stupid boy. Why in the world do I put up with him! It's certainly not because of his looks; he's shorter than I am!"
Her musing's on Ed's shortcomings, *snicker* were shortly *snicker* interrupted by a sigh and an exclamation about how cute Ed was from her good friend Gracia.
"Gracia, you started me. And why in the world would you think that Ed's Cute? He's an annoying brat who likes to take advantage of people."
Sagely nodding Gracia agrees "Has you doing research for him again does he."
"Yes, I don't know how he does it but whenever he want's some new information and doesn't want to look for it himself, I always end up doing it. At least this time it's something that I'm interested in and not just some stupid obscure alchemy fact, or at least not all of it."
"Oh, a new project?" asked Gracia curiously.
"Enough of Ed. Up for some ice cream? I hear that Alex's Ice Cream Shop has a new peppermint chocolate flavor in. Hopefully this time it won't be that scary pink shade."
"Sure, but you're not getting away so easily, I will find out what you and Ed are up to. Hopefully, before you get in trouble for it again." Gracia said determinedly.
"You wound me" Riza laughed, "I'm not trying to hide anything from you, really."
