Well here is 4 everyone! sorry it took so long! enjoy

Chapter 4: New Addition

Ed sighed, holding his back, him and Michelle had continued searching for two whole hours only to find nothing. It was now eleven o'clock at night. The two entered headquarters and Michelle waved at Sheiska.

"Ed, are you ok?" Michelle asked him, catching up to him on the stairway. He sighed loudly, "I can't believe we searched all day and didn't find anything. We can find him when we're not looking, but when we spend the entire day looking, he's no where to be found. I just want to get back to our dorm, eat, and go to sleep."

"Well... maybe he'll turn up when we're not looking?" She said as another yawn escaped her. Ed raised an eyebrow, "Yea wouldn't that be nice..." He said as he pulled a key out of his pocket and opened their door.

"Angie? You're still awake? I thought you said you were tired?" Ed said as he took his coat off and yawned. Angie stood up nervously and cleared her throat.

"Ed! Michelle! Welcome home! Would you two like some tea?" She said, with a slight nervous shake in her voice. Michelle and Ed exchanged questioning glances with each other and looked back at Angie.

"Uhhh are you feeling ok Angie? You're acting... strange..." Michelle said, looking at her friend with a worried expression.

Angie approached the two and put her arms around them, leading them over to the couch. "Don't be silly, now sit down and relax, and I'll make you both some tea ok?" She said, walking into the kitchen, humming a tune.

Michelle raised an eyebrow and looked at Ed, "Michelle what's wrong with her? Why is she being... weird...?" Ed whispered to Michelle from across the coffee table. Michelle got up and walked around the table and sat down next to Ed, so they could discuss Angie's weird behavior easier.

"Ed, there's gotta be something really freaky going on! Angie never acts this way! She's acting like... she just got laid or something!" She whispered to Ed as she held onto his metal arm.

"I know something's gotta be up, I mean, she didn't even say anything perverted to us when we walked in." Ed replied.

Angie popped her head out of the kitchen, "Hey Edoooo, would you prefer raspberry or lemon? I already know what Michi likes."

"Uhhhh... lemon is fine." Ed replied laughing nervously. "Hey Angie, have you seen Al?"

"No he's not back yet." She replied as she carried two cups of tea and handed them each one.

"Thanks... hmmm that's weird.. he should have been back by now.." Ed said, starting to worry.

Angie cleared her throat once again for the third time that night, "So Ed... how did your search go?"

Ed sighed, "We didn't find anything... guess we'll have to start looking again tomorrow... maybe he's in another city you think?"

Michelle shrugged and stood up, "Well I'm going to go take a shower, and then I'm going to sleep, if you guys need me I'll be in our room Angie." Angie got up instantly and walked in front of Michelle, "No no no! Don't be silly! You're not going in there until Al comes back! Just chill with us Michi!"

Michelle raised an eyebrow, "Ok I'll come back when I'm done with my shower then."

"Noooo that's really not a good idea!" She said, almost shouting. 'Crap, I can't let her go in there until I tell them about Scar! Crap crap crap!'

"What are you talking about? Why isn't it a good idea?" Michelle questioned her friend.

"I just really want you to stay here, it'll be really awkward if you're not here! Just please wait until Al gets back ok!"

"Hi guys! I'm back!" Al said, carrying four pizza boxes in with him. "Hope you guys are hungry!"

"Well he's back, can I go now?" Michelle asked still wondering what her friend was up to.

"Hell no! You're gonna eat pizza now!" Angie said, pulling Michelle back to the couch and sitting her down.

Ed opened a pizza box and grabbed a slice hungrily, "Sweet!" He said as he took a bite and chewed on it happily.

"So um... about looking for Scar... wouldn't it be so much easier if we knew where he was?" She asked nervously, taking a small bite of her pizza slice.

Ed swallowed his pizza, "Well, what do you mean?" He asked, his face turning into one of concern.

"Ed... you no longer have any problem with Scar right?" She asked, staring intently at the floor. Ed looked at Michelle and then back at Angie.

"As long as he is no longer killing anyone, I honestly have no problem with him... He did save Al from exploding as well about three years back..." Ed said, remembering the past event.

"Well... would you ever consider like... being his friend?" She asked, biting her lip, waiting for his answer.

Ed raised an unsure eyebrow, "Be his friend? Angie just stop beating around the bush and tell where all this is going please.." Ed said, starting to get impatient with all the questioning.

Angie remained quiet for a while and finally spoke up, "Michelle can I talk to you alone? Please?" She asked, afraid to say anything more in front of Ed. Al and Ed looked at eachother with confused glances. Michelle stood up and followed Angie down the hall.

"Michelle... Can you talk to Ed for me?" Angie asked her friend, looking like she was about to cry. Michelle stared at Angie, "Angie what's the matter? You're acting strange. You were happy just a minute ago. What the hell is going on?"

Angie looked up to her friend and then down the hallway to make sure Ed and Al were still in the living room.

"Well... please don't freak out ok? It's cause... Scar is in our room..." Angie explained, the last part of her sentence coming out as a whisper.

"WHAT!" Michelle shouted in surprise, getting the two Elric brothers attention, "Michelle are you ok back there!" Ed called from the living room, alarmed from her scream.

Michelle cleared her throat, "Everything's fine Ed! Just girl talk! Heh heh..." Michelle turned her head back to Angie, "What do you mean he's in our room?"

"What do you mean what do I mean? It means he's in there woman!" Angie replied. Michelle sighed, "That's not what I meant, I mean... WHY is he in there?"

"Ok look, when I came here earlier, I opened the door and he was here looking for Ed, at first I was freaked out but then we started talking... I don't know... but Michelle, he's not a bad guy. He really isn't... He's not the one doing the killings either. Ed was right."

"Angie come on, of coarse he's gonna say that, how do you know for sure? Why else would he be in Central?"

"That's what I asked him, remember earlier today at the restaurant when we saw Scar and he told us about that rumor? Well he said the rumor was that he heard someone over here was impersonating him and he came to investigate..."

"Hmmmmm..." Michelle wasn't sure what to think of what Angie had just told her.

"Please just trust me Michelle... please? I just have a feeling he's telling the truth... please believe me ok?"

Michelle finally gave in and nodded, it wasn't every day that Angie freaked out about someone like this. She must've really liked this Scar guy...

"Ok fine Angie, but I don't understand, what do you want me to talk to Ed about?" She asked, still very confused about that part.

"Well I was thinking since Scar and Ed are basically both looking for the same thing... that maybe Scar could stay with us... I mean he doesn't have anywhere else to stay... I'm just really afraid to ask Ed about it because I know it is a big deal... I realize it's not something I should even consider... but..." Angie sighed, not knowing how to finish her sentence.

Michelle put a hand on her shoulder, "Hey I get it, don't worry. Calm down ok? You're really making too big of a deal out of this. I'm sure Ed won't mind too much ok?" Michelle said, trying to comfort her friend.

"So... how are we going to ask him?" Angie asked her friend. Michelle put a hand on the doorknob and turned it.

"Michelle what are you doing! Ed's gonna see! Close the door!" Angie said in a panic.

Michelle giggled, "Don't be silly Angie! We're not going to ask Ed anything, we're going to tell him." She said turning the light on.

"Hello there Scar, my name is Michelle nice to meet you!" She said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him with her. He raised an eyebrow but didn't object.

"Michelle! What do you think you're doing!" Angie called to her, freaking out and panicking histerically.

Michelle finally reached the living room and stopped. Ed and Al's backs were turned to them as they sat talking on the couch.

Michelle walked around to the other side of the couch and sat down across from Ed and Al, leaving Scar where he was. Angie put a hand to her face in embarrassment. 'I can't believe she's doing this!'

"Oh hey Michelle, everything ok?" Ed asked her as he took a sip of soda from his can.

"Of coarse everything is ok. Angie was just freakin out about asking you something." She answered cheerfully, looking behind them at Scar.

"Hmmmm? Well what is it that she was so freaked out about asking me?" He asked, almost laughing.

"Oh she was just wondering if one of her friend's could stay with us and help us with our search." She replied happily, taking another slice of pizza out of the box. Ed looked at Al and they laughed, "Of course I wouldn't mind! Is she crazy? We need all the help we can get! Right Al?"

Al nodded and Ed set his can of soda down. "So who's the guest?" Ed asked her, still smiling.

"Oh he's right there behind you." She replied with a mouthful of pizza, pointing at Scar.

Ed and Al turned. Their eyes nearly popped out of their skulls and onto the floor when they realized who it was. "YOU?" The two Elric brothers shouted at the same time.

He turned back to Michelle, "Are you freakin kidding me Michelle?" Ed screamed. Angie banged her head lightly against the hallway wall. There's was no way Ed was going to allow this. She thought to herself.

"Oh come on Ed, he's looking for the same thing we are!" Michelle shouted at Ed. Ed's angry and surprised expression changed. "Huh? He's looking for himself?"

Angie pulled herself away from the wall and walked beside Scar. "Ed, you were right, it's Envy. Scar's looking for him too..."

Ed sighed, not knowing where to begin, "So then the rumor you were talking about was this wasn't it Scar?"

He nodded quietly. Ed stared at him, not knowing what to say. He knew it... Envy was back... it was horrible news for both him and Al. Ed thought Envy was stuck in the other dimension. He thought he'd never have to look at him again.

"Ok.. he can stay." Ed said. Angie's eyes widened, "He... he can?" She couldn't believe Ed said ok to it that quickly. She thought they'd be arguing for hours about it. Ed didn't answer. He simply walked passed them all and into his room, closing the door behind him lightly.

The room grew quiet. Michelle sighed and looked at her pizza, she lost her appetite when Ed had left. She knew exactly what he was thinking about. She knew he was worried about Envy's return.

She looked at Angie and Scar, "See? That wasn't so bad right? Well, you two should get to bed.. I think I'll just stay with Ed and Al tonight. So you guys have fun." Michelle said as she stood up.

"You're gonna sleep with us? But... there's only two beds Michelle!" Al said nervously.

She shrugged, "So? I'll sleep on the floor then. I don't want Ed to be alone right now.. I know he's probably very upset.." She said, walking down the hall.

Angie and Scar looked at eachother awkwardly and quickly looked away when their eyes met.

"Well, you can have Michelle's bed then." She said, turning red and leading him down the hallway. The two entered the room and Angie flicked the light on. She looked at him and realized he was taking his shirt off, she looked away quickly when he noticed. "SORRY!" She practically shouted. She slapped herself mentally.

"For what?" Scar asked her. She looked back at him and cleared her throat, "N... nothing.. never mind..."

She crawled into her bed and he turned the light off. She heard him as he got into the other bed.

She stared at the dark ceiling, "See? I told you you'd be able to stay." She said, still relieved that Ed agreed to letting Scar stay with them. Scar slightly smiled in the darkness, appreciatetive of Angie's concern of him having no where to go. It was the first time anyone really showed such a deep concern for him.

"Thank you." He said in a deep yet quiet voice.

"Hmm? For what?" Angie asked, turning in her bed onto her side, listening curiously.

"For being concerned, I haven't received much concern in my past. So thank you." Scar said in a sincere tone.

"Yea, Ed that you didn't have an easy life. But he never told me any details... would you mind telling maybe?" She asked shyly.

Scar grew silent for a while and then finally answered, "Maybe I'll tell you about it someday."

She looked away in disappointment, she was hoping he'd tell her. She was getting very curious about this man's past.

"Ok... well... can you at least tell me your real name then?" She asked looking up again.

"I no longer have a name. The name that was given to me by God has been erased..." He said.

She sighed, 'Jeez.. This guy really needs to loosen up.' She thought to herself again silently, "Well, can you tell me about you're arm at least?"

The room grew quiet once again. Scar thought about it for a minute "It's my brother's... before he died he gave it to me with the power of alchemy. Originally, my right arm was taken by the crimson alchemist... the one who also gave me my scar.. the one who killed my brother..."

Angie sat up in interest, "Ohh I see, so THAT'S why you hated state alchemists so much? Because one killed your brother right?"

"That's correct..." He said, almost sadly.

"So then... why did you stop then?" She asked, thinking she knew the answer already.

"When I met Ed... I started to realize they're not all bad... I finally came to my senses a couple years later and stopped... after I killed the crimson alchemist I stopped killing State Alchemists all together..."

She nodded, starting to understand him a little more. "I see... so then religion was a big thing for you then?"

"It still is, our people were rooted and brought up by Ishbala. It means very much to me.. but I can see where I made a mistake of thinking that all alchemists deserved to die just because they didn't think the same way.." He said with a slight remorse in his voice.

Angie could tell his past memories were beginning to upset him and decided to just drop it. "Well we should get to sleep then, we need to get up so we can search for that imposter tomorrow... don't worry either Scar... we'll find him.." She said as she snuggled back into her bed.

"Good night Scar." Angie said as she yawned.

"Good night..." He replied, closing his eyes.

Well that's all for now, please review and go ahead and flame away miss "automic girl" you just inspire me to write more!
