Round 2! Oh yeah…I don't own FMA…the all-holy Hiromu Arakawa does!

Chapter 2

She looked over at him as she saw his schedule, same as hers. "Sure why not, we have the same schedule."

"Really? Wow, freaky"

"Yeah."

'And set up' Edward thought.

After math class, Elizabeth and Edward walked to their next class, World History Honors. And they once again sat next to each other, but today was the one-day Elizabeth hated, the day they showed the cancer video right before a fundraiser.

"Alright, to day we have a video" The teacher said, as the students groaned, Elizabeth just put her head down.

"This isn't nap time Elizabeth"

"I refuse to watch this video."

"Ya gotta"

"No I don't…I cant…not after…not after what happened…" She tightly closed her eyes as tears fell.

"Elizabeth?" Ed softly spoke.

She sat up and wiped her eyes, "I'm fine…I'll watch the stupid video…"

Ed turned to face Liz, "what's the video about that's got you so upset?"

"She just wants everyone to feel sorry for her cuz her mommy died" some jackass said as he and some friends mocked Elizabeth.

"Shut up! You don't know what it feels like! None of you do!" She said as she stood, crying.

"Be quiet and sit down Elizabeth." The teacher said as the movie started.

She did as she was told; she took out her sketchbook and drew.

Ed stared at her in silence, 'Roy didn't tell me that…that idiot…he never mentioned anything about her mother…probably trying to protect me again…that moron'

After the movie and class was lunch, Ed sat with Elizabeth who sat in a corner, normally alone.

"Are you ok Elizabeth?" Ed quietly asked as he took a bite of his cheeseburger.

"Now I am…I just hate that video…"

"Oh…and what you said…about no one…understanding your pain…your wrong…"

"Huh?" Elizabeth looked up when she heard the rustle of cloth, she never ate lunch, just drew, but what she laid eyes on, she couldn't believe, "A-automail?"

Ed nodded, "When I was eight…my brother 7…our mother died…waiting for out piece of shit father…me and my brother…we…we used the forbidden science of human alchemy…and tried to bring her back to this world…" He quickly hid the automail as someone passed, "we failed miserably…I lost my leg…my brother lost his whole body…I managed to attach his soul to a suit of armor at the cost of my arm…"

"Oh my God…"

"Heh…we're still looking for the Philosopher's Stone, so we can reverse this hell…and have our normal bodies back…but we've turned up nothing." Ed sighed.

"The…Philosopher's Stone?" Liz questioned.

"Yeah it-"

"I know what it is Ed…" She pulled out an alchemy book from her backpack, "Don't think you're the only alchemist in this school." She opened her sketchbook to a page, drawn on that page was an elaborate transmutation circle.

"Holy crap…I need to tell you something Elizabeth…"

"Shoot"

"I'm with the military…Lt. Col. Roy Mustang se-"

"Sent you after me because I dropped out of the military last year and he wants me back, right?"

"Yeah…how'd you know?"

"The watch chain gave it away"

"Eh...heh…"

She closed the sketchbook and pulled out a pair of black gloves that had the transmutation circle on them. "This is the closest I have to alchemy without a circle…my step-dad works with that Mustang ass…"

"Damn…" Edward spoke as the bell rang.

"C'mon" She said as she helped him out of his seat and noticed a squeak thing noise thinggie "You should oil up that arm"

"Heh…"

"C'mon Full-idiot" She said with a little laugh.

"Hey! Who told u my name!"

"I said my step-dad works with Mustang…your all I ever hear about, lets go Ed." she said as they went to their 3rd class.

There's chapter 2!
