Chapter eight: Letters
Dear Winry,
Life in central is okay. There are a lot of murder cases I have to solve with Al. But just two days ago, Mustang said he couldn't help me with military work anymore! So, naturally, he assigned me a partner.
So now I'm partnered up with a girl named Coniniaue Tommy, the 'Bloodless alchemist.' Her alchemist name speaks for itself. Her father, Nigel Tommy, accidentally merged his two daughters, Connie and Donna, together to form a sort of super human chimera. Connie was rude and witty, while Donna had a rather insane streak in her. When merged, they became a cocky, smart girl with red hair that went to her ankles. When they were split, they became exact twins! However, Coniniaue took the personality of Connie, while Dominique took the personality of Donna. The weird part is, Coniniaue and Dominique have no distinguishing marks. No fingerprints, no iris patterns, not even veins in their eyes, or anywhere else on the bodies. Yes, their hearts are artificial, and they have no blood. Weird? Oh yeah. Now, Coniniaue is a state alchemist and Dominique is an insane murderous thief on the loose! Crazy families out there now, huh?
Well anyway, yesterday we caught a thief who was stealing important files on the Philosopher's stone. That's when I met Dominique, Coniniaue's 'twin.' We locked her up, but it seems she escaped! She actually called the lobby of the inn I was staying at and threatened me. I can't believe it, but it seems like I'm gonna die… Huh. Don't worry; I'll come back so you can fix my automail

"Writing to your girlfriend?"
"I AIN'T GOT NO GIRLFRIEND WINRY IS MY MECHANIC!"
"Huh, it seems like you like her a lot." Coniniaue snickered.
"I DO NOT! SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! WINRY ROCKBELL IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Coniniaue snickered again. She snatched his letter and read it over. "What the Hell, who gave you permission to tell her about me?" She snapped.
"Well, uh, you let me tell Alphonse about you, so I figured…" Edward began
Coniniaue cut him off. "You figured nothing. But, because you're my partner and she's your girlfriend, I guess you can tell her."
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"Fine, fine. You can tell Winry. Sheesh. You have such a temper."
"And you don't?"
"Shut the Hell up, Elric."
"See? You say I have a temper when…"
"Pipsqueak."
"DON'T CALL ME A DWARF! OR A SHRIMP! OR A GRAIN OF SAND! OR A SUPER SMALL SPECK THAT CAN'T EVEN BE SEEN UNDER A MICROSCOPE!"
"Edward Elric, you are a dwarf, a shrimp, a grain of sand, and a super small speck that can't be seen under a microscope."
"GAH!"
Just a funny chapter for the readers XD
