It all started out as an innocent trip to someplace called Jusenkyo. Alright, maybe not so innocent. Roy told Al about a link between the Philosopher's Stone and the hot springs. Who were we to pass up the opportunity to look for the Stone? Of course we didn't know just what kind of trouble we would get in.

Al slipped and knocked me into one of the springs. It was the spring of drowned cat.

So now, here we were, stuck on a train back to East City to report to that piece of shit Colonel.

Mental note: find some way to 'bs' the evaluation since I have nothing but a bunch of failures to present.

"Al, wake me when we get there." I told him and settled down for a nap.

Sure enough, Al woke me when the train pulled into East Station. Man that was a pretty fucked up dream. I dreamt I fell into a spring that turned me into a cat. And that whenever I got splashed with cold water I would turn into a cat.

"Oh, look. The Colonel has come to meet us." Al pointed out. I groaned. Oh great. That bastard has to alert everyone that there's either a criminal or a relatively high ranking person on board.

"I see you haven't restored yourself yet, Fullmetal." Roy commented. He probably heard the difference in my steps. And I guess the fact that Al hadn't yet been restored.

"No, I haven't. We didn't find anything. What the hell were you thinking sending us to such a place? That mineral water does horrid things to my automail."

"Shall we go back to headquarters? We'll be able to talk more privately there." We went outside to go to the car that Roy had from headquarters.

I took a step outside and was pelted by freezing cold rain. Fuck. I look up only to see Roy and Al towering above me.

"Fullmetal?" Roy asks. I pat his leg with my left paw. No! I mean hand.

He looks down and I swear this look of disbelief flashes across his face right before he starts laughing. I promptly start gnawing on his ankle. He picks me up by the scruff of my neck.

"Is this your evaluation topic?" He asked finally.

That was only supposed to be a dream!
