Thanks for the reviews, even though there were only a few, it boosted my confidence, so I'm going to update, one a day most likely.

Chapter Two: one-zero

A few weeks had passed by and Edward was at the Armstrong mansion. If you looked at him, you could swear he was rotting, he had the flies buzzing around his head and everything. Spending weeks at a time there listening to the giants take turns telling their stories of the generations before them while the other took a break was excruciatingly painful for the spunky golden-haired boy. So, you can imagine the look on his face when it was all over.

At the Hughes residence was also an exhausted Roy with millions of cuts all over his hands and for some reason, his face.

"Maes! Why do you have a never-ending amount of pictures of Elysia in your closet? I mean, where does it all come from?" the tired looking Colonel asked. He looked as if he hadn't shaven or showered in weeks, which in his case, was exactly what he didn't do until Gracia forced him to if he were going to be in her house, so he looked half-decent except for the only clothes he had was his sweaty military uniform and refused to wear Hughes' clothes.

"It was very nice of you to help organize Maes' pictures of Elysia" Gracia said as she entered the room, "I've been wanting him to clean up that room for years!"

"ROOM? I thought that was a closet!" screamed Roy.

"Nope, our home has 4 rooms a guest room, one for my lovely wife and I, one for darling Elysia and one for all her cutey-wutey little pictures" Hughes voice got squeakier and squeakier as he got to the end of his sentence. Roy groaned at this. Ed was definitely going to win this round unless the Armstrongs recalled what happened to their ancestors in the prehistoric period.

Ed headed off to the Hughes residence, beaming about finally being release from the Armstrong hellhole and also a little nervous to find out if he had won the first round. Al had decided to visit Winry saying he didn't want to disturb him on all his dares, but Ed had a feeling that he just didn't want to end up being stuck with him on another week of being tortured.

When Ed got to Hughes' house and rang the doorbell, a little Elysia answered the door.

"Hello Elysia, is Uncle Roy here?" The little girl nodded. Yes! It looks like I take the first round! Ed thought. He entered the house and saw Roy covered in paper cuts and what seemed to be pictures of Elysia.

"Buhahaha, those weeks of torture by Major Armstrong finally paid off, I never thought I'd see you so stressed out!" Ed yelled at the man covered in pictures.

"Not now Full Metal. Ow the papercuts! They hurt!"

"I'm hearing this from the 'future Fuhrer? Now I've seen everything…" Ed held his fingers beside his head and bent them to emphasize the quotations on future Fuhrer and then laughed.

Finally back at the Military headquarters, after telling Hughes that he would help some other time and stuffed the remaining pictures back in the room, they spotted Hawkeye.

"Edward, Taisa, you two look horrible, how about a day's rest before the next dare? Not to be nosy but, who won the first dare anyway?" she asked curiously.

"Fullmetal took this round, but don't think you've won just yet." Roy said as he turned around and headed to his dorm. It looked as if Ed needed a break too because he also headed for the door to the hotel he was temporarily staying at. Meanwhile, Riza was also heading towards Roy's dorm.

"Taisa, what about our plan?"

"Don't worry lieutenant, we'll get to that AFTER I finish torturing Full Metal."

"But if Ed wins the next round, then you'll lose, get stuck in a dog suit for a week AND we still wouldn't have put plan 'Get Together' in action yet."

"Have no fear, Hawkeye. I'll win the next dare, just watch me." With a reassuring look from Roy, Riza left his room.

Edward one, Roy zero, thought Riza as she was walking back to her own dorm.
