NOTE: I decided to be nice and shake the Writer's Block off and update another chapter for you lovable folks. -snorts- -dodges flying food and gets hit in the head with several kitchen utensils- I have no recollection of what I just said. All I know is that I'm having an amsterdam good time! Yesh! Yesh! I just want you to be my everything! -deep voice- Andy Gibb. -looks at screen-

Back round for chapter: Nothing. But would you care if I was listening to Pat Benatar? And Rufus and Ron Stoppable singing the Naked Mole Rap?

Chapter Ten

"Rei. . . Why are you talking to Seldon?" someone behind the two asked. They both jumped, and turned around, and saw Ed with his hands on his hips.

"Uhhhh. . ." Rei began.

'Please don't tell him!' Roy thought. 'I wanna scare him!'

"Answer me," Edward crossed his arms, and glared.

'Make something up!'

"Tell me the truth."

The pressure was just too much for poor Rei, because while Roy and Ed were convincing him to do one thing, his evil side was threatening to come out.

Let me out!

'Don't tell him!'

"Answer me!"

So the young Mustang twitched, and fell back onto the floor in a daze.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Sorry, Rei. . ." Ed apologized after getting Rei a glass of water.

"No, it's all right," the teen answered with a smile.

"So. . . Will you tell me where Roy is now?" the blond asked with a pleading look. Rei twitched again, and glanced over to doggy Roy.

'Erm. . . This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!' the canine thought. With seeing the scared look in his brother's eyes (due to the fact that Ed might stalk him until he's dead), Roy came up with a conclusion. '. . . well. . . Fine. . .'

"Roy is. . ." Rei began. Ed nodded a bit.

"He is. . .?"

"He's been here. . .this whole time. . ."

"What?" the younger alchemist raised an eyebrow. "what does that supposed to mean?" (A/N I know, Ed is a complete dork right now XD) Rei grinned, and put a finger up to his own lips.

"My friend. That. Is. A.Secret." (ha! Another Xellos moment!)

"Damn it!"

"All you have to do is figure it out, and you'll know where he is." the Mustang got up.

"I have to figure it out, huh? That'll be easy!" Ed yelled, without thinking.

So he thought.

And thought.

And thought. (I'm trying to make it longer. Shhh.)

&&&&&&&&&&&&

That night, Ed sat on the bed, still thinking. Roy's been here this whole time. What the hell!.? Damn riddle. The teen hoped they would be forced off the face of the planet forever.

Edward messed up his hair in anger, and fell back onto the bed. He groaned loudly.

'Roy's been here this whole time. . . He's been HERE. . . The whole time. . .' Ed thought to himself. He wondered if it had anything to do with his dreams. Seldon, Roy, Rei, Dark Rei, Seldon. . . Wait. . . Seldon?

As if he heard, doggy Roy jumped onto the bed, and licked Ed's face.

"Hey, Boy. Do you know the answer to the riddle?"

'Yeah.' the canine answered. 'I'm right here, you poor excuse for a prodigy.'

"I wish I knew too, Buddy, but I don't. . ." Ed sat up, and pet his dog, then stopped.

'Roy's been HERE THIS WHOLE TIME. . .' he thought, looking at the dog.

"Roy?" the blond asked with widened eyes. With an answer, doggy Roy barked and wagged his tail.

"HOLY SHIT!" Edward yelled afterwards.

Yeah. That was short too. Don't kill me. Please! I PROMISE to make the next chapter longer! And more fun to read! If I don't make it longer, you can kill me. NOT literally though, because then I wouldn't be able to write for you wonderful readers. Okay? Okay.

Hey! Wow! I'm on Page three! In Comic Sans font! XD

NEXT MOVIE QUOTE:

"She asked me why you were so sad. I just told her that it was because you were beaten up by a girl."

HINT: Um. . . It has. . . Wait, if I tell you the actress, then you'd easily guess it. Um. . . The main character is a dad from another movie, and the other main character is a woman known in other movies who in this movie is looking for her kid. Some hint, huh? XD
