Disclaimer: I only own Maria. Eh I hate these things.

Envy: Poor you. And umm I have a confession…

Me: Yes?

Envy: Ed and Link were invited to a party and you weren't.

Me: WHAT! OH THEY ARE SOO GONNA DIE!

Envy: What are we gonna do?

Me: I'll tell ya!

Maria laid down on her bed her legs crossed. She had just finished crying. "Stupid Ishbaul Massacre. I wish it never happened," she thought. Ed came up the stairs and said, "Hey Maria, everyone is gonna play poker. Wanna join? You are the best poker player in the military." Maria laughed. "Alright," she said. She got up and went down stairs. She sat next to Ed and closed her eyes. Fox dealt the cards and Maria took up her hand and smiled. "Perfect," she muttered. Ed looked at her hand. "Why in Scar's name are you looking at my hand, Ed," Maria asked. "You're my partner, Lieutenant. I need your help," he replied. "You can play poker fine." "I know but I don't know if these guys play dirty. So please, lets be partners. Please?" Maria sighed. "Ok. Ok. I'll help you Ed. But only this once. Got it?" Ed smiled. "Aww thanks Lieutenant. Now will you help me get Colonel Sarcasm fired?" Maria looked at Ed and said, "Your pushing it, Fullmetal." Ed huffed and started to look at his cards. "Aw shit," he said, "Look at my hand. Lieutenant, what in the hell do I do?" Maria slightly looked at Ed's cards and said out of the corner of her mouth, "Fold this game. I'll win our money and their money too. Don't worry." Ed nodded, and said," I fold." Maria smiled and said quietly, "Good going." Ed smiled. An hour later…Maria looked at the money before her with a look of arrogance on her face. Ed was trying not to laugh. Maria was a good alchemist and a good poker player. Best combination ever. Even Mustang had a tough time beating her in poker. "You cheated!" said Y. Link. Maria looked at the little boy and said, "Well a little boy like yourself shouldn't be playing poker!" Ed was on the floor, rolling with laughter. Maria stared down at Ed. There was a smile tugging at her lips. "Yea well…you didn't have the guts to beat Link in the match today," Y. Link replied. Maria stared at the little boy. Ed stopped laughing. "Uh oh," he muttered. The young hylian hit a nerve. Tears formed in Maria's eyes. They started to fall down her cheeks. "You know it wasn't my fault that happened," she muttered quietly for only Ed to hear. She ran to her room and flopped down on her bed and started to cry. "Its not really fair to have a dad in the military," she thought, "I sometimes wish I never went to Ishbaul." She started to cry again. She finally fell into an uneasy sleep.

But lets see what's up in Central shall we? Central city, Mustang's office…Mustang looked at the top of his desk. He banged his fist down and thought, "I should never have sent her. She's too young." Was that his true feeling? Was it because he enjoyed her company or was it because he loved her? Mustang shook his head. "No, I don't love her. I only care about her. There is a difference right?" he thought. He got up and looked out his window. "What if I do love her? She's young. But she is pretty and smart and funny. I'll think about it later." He sat down on his desk and started to finish his paperwork.

Back at the mansion…. Maria woke up to find a figure looking through the drawer. "Who are you?" she asked. "Uh oh," said the figure. "Envy!" exclaimed Maria. "Stupid he-she!" She got up and put on her gloves. "EDWARD! WAKE UP!" Maria yelled. "Wha-?" "Homunculus. Its Envy." Ed got up and clapped his hands together. Spikes appeared but Envy got away. "DAMN THAT HE-SHE!" Maria grabbed her gun and ran outside to find the evil he-she. Ed sweat dropped. "How in the hell did Mustang fall in love with her?" he thought. "Envy! Come back here!" yelled Maria. Envy looked back at Maria and kept running. "Damn him," she thought. A long pale of fingernails appeared and scratched Maria on the back. She screamed in pain. "Lust," she muttered. Where there was Lust there would be Gluttony. And sure enough the cannibal showed up. "God damn it!" she yelled. Lust shot another attack and Maria was right in the path.

Me: -whispers- hope you all like this chappie. I have to go and crash a party now.

Envy: and I the evil homunculus Envy is gonna help her.

Me: Right.

Security dude: Who are you?

Me: -hits Envy-

Envy: Thank you. See she is happy now.

Security officer: Umm you guys aren't on the list.

Envy: Not on the list? How would you explain to your superiors that the Great Count Velcro did not show up to this party? Fine we will leave your little luau, your barn party.

Envy& me: -walk away-

Security officer: Wait! I let you in. Would the Great Count like to hit me?

Envy: Your Grace, hit you? The arrogance of some people! I will hit you on behalf of the Count. –hits security dude-
