Ok, I will try to pass FCE in two years time, so I have a lot of time to practise. I will be grateful if someone tells me if better is to write:

"Wow" said Al.

OR

"Wow" Al said.

Thanks for helping me with correct first chapter. Another is a bit longer and has some non – FMA characters. Please comment on how many mistakes I have made this time.

Disclaim (we really have to write it?): I don't own "Full Metal Alchemist", "Wolf's Rain", "Gravitation" and "Hellsing".

Chapter 2

The Family

"Ed, Al, you both look good" Riza was pleased about outfit of her sons.

"I look weird in my armour" Al wasn't so enthusiastic.

"Your family may don't like us as your sons" Edward said, watching his mirror image.

All Riza's family was coming for dinner to see her new "pets". Since morning she had been making preparations. Everything and everyone had to be perfect. Ed was wearing a new suit and Al armour was carefully cleaned so that now it was shining better than sun. Riza had her hair down. She was wearing a red dress which highlights her eyes.

"You look so beautiful, mother Riza" said Al with great admiration.

"Thank you Alphonse."

Black Hayate had been washed and brushed. On the table laid a white tablecloth. The best table–ware was ready for a dinner. Riza got a new, bigger house since she had adopted two children. She was very proud. Nobody in her party (except the Colonel) had so big house. There were three rooms – two bedrooms and one living room and a nice kitchen. She had prepared all of dinner on her own. Al was very helpful - he peeled potatoes and Ed went to the grocery. They both were really good sons.

"Oh, the bell! They are coming!"

Black Hayate started to bark. Riza improved her hair and opened the door. Elric Brothers held their breaths.

"Hello Riza darling!" A redheaded girl hugged miss Hawkeye through the doorstep.

The family went inside. There were seven adults and four children. One woman was pregnant.

"Ok, so... "Riza was a bit nervous "Family, these are Elric Brothers: older Edward, known as Full Metal Alchemist, and younger Alphonse who is as much of genius as his brother"

"Nice to meet you" they all said. Hawkeye's family was watching them with interest.

"Ed, Al, my older sister Cher and her husband Hubb."

"Riza!" Cher was totally unhappy. "He is not my husband any more. He is my ex – husband."

"Sorry, Cher, I forgot. And these are my nephews, children of Cher and Hubb: Kiba, Tsume, Toboe and Hige. Oh, I see you will have another baby, Cher."

"Cheza" said older sister.

"You already know the gender of the baby?" Al was surprised.

"I'm interesting in alchemy, just like you guys."

"They have a big family, not like divorce couple." Ed didn't think he would like Cher.

"First child was born two years after their divorce" Riza explained in a low voice.

"Ow..."

"This is my older brother K. He is a pop star's manager."

"Nice to meet you boys." K was smiling in a strange way.

He wore a gun on his braces. Elrics thought Riza's family wasn't quite normal.

"If you like to sing" continued K "please contact with me. I will make you a good advertisement. Have you got any close male friends?"

"W-what?!" Brothers were in a small shock.

"Oh, brother" Riza smiled "they won't be singers. They are talented alchemists."

"Ok, I can manage alchemists."

"You, little..." Miss Hawkeye lightly hit her brother.

The redheaded girl cleared her throat.

"Sorry, Vicki" Riza turned to her "And this is my beloved younger sister Victoria."

"Hello" Victoria cheerfully waved to brothers.

They noticed her strange red eyes. Vicki smiled.

"Yes, I am a vampire."

"WHAT?!"

"She had to be vampire, or otherwise she had died... It was done to her by another, noble vampire" Riza explained "How is he doing, Vicki?"

"Alucard is fine, thanks. He has some conflict with Incognito guy, and Sword Dancer is chasing him. But Miss Integra is taking care of the situation."

"Is she still a virgin?"

Vicki laughed.

"More important, are You still a virgin?"

"Ow, Vicki, please stop."

"How about this Roy guy?"

"Vicki, stop!"

"You wrote to me that he is quite sexy and you want..."

"SHUT UP VICKI! And you wrote to me that Integra is..."

"Girls, please stop arguing" Cher was shamefaced. "Children are listening."

Ed and Al now were totally shocked. Riza at work and Riza with her family – it were different Rizas. All her family was weird so Ed with his artificial leg and arm and Al in an armour were, compare to them, quite normal.

During the dinner there was great talk about guns. Every member of Riza's family has a gun.

"New model" Hubb was showing his pistol "from good company: Paradise."

"I have something better" Vicki put big, long bazooka on a table.

"Wow!" Family was watching it. "Where did you get it?"

"It was brought to me by Walter, Integra's servant. But you really must see Alucard gun. It is a masterpiece! Long, big, with letters on it. He even has sacrifice bullets."

"You, Vicki, are always scare when you must kill someone" Cher remarked.

"Because she is delicate." Riza defended. "She knows how to shoot."

"Yes, I do!" cried Victoria.

"I have a great idea! Let's practise our skills!" K looked happy. "Riza darling, do you have anything to shoot to?"

"No, but I think we could go to the shooting range. I have gold member card."

"But shooting range can be close on Sunday." K complained.

"Yes, you are right. Maybe we will go to the park and shoot some birds?"

"You can only talk about guns and shooting someone" Cher yelled. "Couldn't we talk about something else?"

"Yes" K turned his eyes to Elric Brothers "You, brothers, are alchemists, right?"

"I'm afraid yes" Ed answered politely.

"My brother is State Alchemist" continued Al.

"The dog of the military."

"Oh, how nice" Vicki didn't notice ironic sound in Ed's voice "That's why sister know you."

"Do you have any hobby?"

"Er... we are looking for Philosopher's Stone."

"And sometimes we have a fight with homonoculus."

"I see, you general like sports. You want to become scientists in the future?"

"Alchemists ARE scientists" said Cher "I know a lot about alchemy, I'm scientist myself. I've seen person made by using alchemy."

"Yes?!" Ed and Al began to interest in subject.

"Cher, please, not again!" Yelled K "You always tell us this story about Flower Girl Cheza. If you will continue, we all divorce you."

"Your sense of humour is awful, K!"

"Oh, honey, please don't argue now. Children are here."

"I'm good in shooting!" Victoria stood up.

She went to the kitchen. She took some glasses from cupboard and put them on a kitchen desk. Then went to the corridor, took a gun from her garter and fired. The others were watching her though the living room's door. They heard sound of braking glasses. Vicki put off her gun. She looked at her work with surprise.

"Sorry Riza" she muttered.

Riza quickly run into the kitchen.

"My... my window!" She cried.

"You see, Vicki never was good marksman."

The doorbell rang.

"Oh no!" Riza turned to the door "The housekeeper."

"Miss Lieutenant!" Low, female voice was heard "What's happening, miss Lieutenant?"

"Nothing, mrs Peacock, thank you for asking!" shouted Lieutenant.

"I heard a shot! Are you all right, Miss Lieutenant?"

"Yes, I'm all right. There wasn't me who fired. Please ask major Slope."

"And the children? Are they all right too?"

"Yes, we are fine, mrs Peacock" shouted Ed an Al.

"Thanks God! I've just baked some cookies. Would the children like to eat them?"

"Cookies!" Vicki was excited.

"Not from this lady." muttered Riza. "If you like some cookies, they are in the cupboard."

"We don't want the cookies, thank you very much!" she said loudly.

"No cookies, hlip (sound of crying)." Vicki was disappointed.

"Why don't you like this lady?" asked Hubb.

"There are several reasons." Riza didn't want to talk about it.

She came back to the kitchen and began to wonder how she would repair broken window.

"First" said Ed with low voice "mrs Peacock is a widow from the General Peacock, who was against Colonel Mustang promotion."

"Her cooking skills are bad." Al wasn't sure if Ed really had to talk about Riza's secrets.

"And" continued Ed "mrs Peacock doesn't like the Colonel either. She had told Riza to leave him, and when she refused, mrs Peacock told her some gossips about the Colonel. That made Riza angry!

"Ye, sister is sensitive, when the talk is about Roy." Said Vicki "Her letters are always full of Roy "

"Roy?!" Ed was surprise "Does she call the Colonel Roy in her letters to you?"

"Yes, always."

Ed turned to brother.

"You see, my theory about sex is perfect."

"You two are in Roy's party too, right?" Asked Vicki "Is there something between my sister and him?"

"No."

"YES!"

Edward lightly hit Al.

"Of course there is something between Mustang and every girl he meets. You see, Vicki, he is a womanizer and playboy. He takes advantage of women."

"How awful!"

"Yes, it is. And now his victim is your beloved Riza."

"Brother, you liar!" whispered Al.

"My Riza!"

"Yes, our Riza! That's why I and Al decided to look after her."

"You have gold heart boys" Vicki eyes were full of tears.

"Yes, but we can't protect her alone." Ed was saying it carefully to give Victoria time to think.

"You need a help? My help? But, what can I do? I'm only younger sister. You should talk with K... no, he will see a chance to make sister a pop star thanks to this romance. Maybe Cher... no, she will say something like: Do what you have to do and break up with him "

"See, you are the only rescue for Riza's virginity." Ed was pleased that his plan was working.

"But, what can I do?"

Ed gave her an evil smile.

"You are a vampire, aren't you?"

"Yes... you mean?" Vicki was terrifying.

"You drink blood, don't you?" Ed's voice scared her. "Blood lust..."

"S-stop!" Vicki covered her ears. "I have made promise!"

"But for mother Riza?"

"This is awful, brother!" yelled Al.

"You mean..." Vicki continued "I have to go to this Roy and suck his blood."

Ed gave her a happy smile.

"Yes."

"No! I can't! He will become ghul and miss Integra will kill me."

"Ok, I understand" Ed turned from her and walked back to the living room "You don't really fell anything for Riza!"

"That's not true!" Two tears ran down her cheeks.

"Please forgive my brother" Al put his big hand on her shoulder "He likes mother Riza and doesn't like the Colonel. But, the Colonel is good to us. I don't want anyone to do something bad to him."

"You have a gold heart, Al." Vicki smiled. "I like you."

"I like you too, miss..."

"Just call me Vicki. So, please tell me about Roy, sister, you and your devilish brother."

Ehmm, this family – meeting reminds me "Police Academy 2nd". I made Cher, K and Victoria all Riza's family because I think those characters have something similar (and I like them all). They don't have parents, but maybe Rosette from "Chrno Crusade" was their mother? The next chapter coming soon...
