me: Hey!
Ed: -eating leftover brownies- Uh oh... -bolts into the next room-
me: Come back here, dammit!
Sarai: What's wrong?
me: Get Ed! He ate the last of the brownies!
Sarai: He's dead! -runs after Ed-
Al: What happened?
me: Ed ate the last of the brownies! -sobs a bit-
Al: -Ed runs into the room- Brother, how could you!
Ed: Not you to Al!
Al: -grabs Ed- Apologize!
Ed: -scowls- No, put me down!
Sarai: You bastard!
Ed: -wimpers-
Sarai: Those brownies weren't for you!
Ed: ...so?
Sarai: -punches Ed in the stomach- Next time ask!
Al: -let's go of Ed-
Ed: Whatever.
Envy: So, the fullmetal pipsqueak's friends turned against him?
Ed: I'M NOT SHORT!
Envy: -sneers- Have you looked in the mirror lately? If I didn't know any better, I would say your shrinking instead of growing taller.
Ed: OKAY! THAT'S IT! -starts fighting Envy-
me: This isn't what I had in mind for revenge, but it will do.
Al: Animefan127 owns the idea and new characters, but doesn't own Fullmetal Alchemist.
me: I know. I wish I did. -sigh-
Shoali: Where's Dan?
me: Oh... He didn't... -bolts outside-
Shoali: Huh?
Soya: I found you Shoali!
Shoali: -giggles- I'm it!
Outside...
me: Dan, show yourself!
Dan: Hmm?
me: What are you doing?
Dan: A chemical analysis.
me: On...?
Dan: The stones that Sarai makes.
me: Oh. I thought you were gonna do a human transmutation to bring back your mom and dad.
Dan: No... that's later. I'm following a schedule.
me: -sweatdrops and goes into the house-
In the main room...
me: What are you doing here!
Lust: Not the greeting I had in mind.
Gluttony: -stomach growls-
me: Leave and take Envy with you!
Lust: As soon as we get Kira back.
me: Leave or your not going to be in the story anymore!
Lust: -mumbles- Alright. Envy, Gluttony, let's go.
me: I must say thank you to my reviewers!
Dramanut26: You couldn't wait? It's here now!
Mimi: If this story ends, I'll make a sequel okay? And flamers still suck -smiles and drags Ed into the room when he tried to leave-
Sokkazukofan: I will check it out and thanks for the compliment!
me: On to chapter twenty-three!
Envy: See ya short stuff.
Ed: I AM NOT SHORT DAMMIT!

Chapter 23 Target
"Huh...?" Spencer shook his head and stood up.
"Spencer!" I yelled happily running towards him.
"Sarai? What happened?" He asked as he stood up.
"See Ed? Human transmutation is possible!" I sighed as Ed stood there astonished.
"But... it's forbidden! No one's ever succeeded!" He yelled as Spencer walked over to Ed.
"Ed this is Spencer. Spencer, this is Edward."
"But you can call me Ed." Ed finished still a little shocked.
"Sarai, what about Soya? And Shoali?" Spencer asked confused.
"They're at the apartment." I smiled and Spencer smiled.
We walked to the apartment as Spencer told us that he saw mom and dad. They were dead, but the souls were the same.
"Maybe I'll try and bring them back-"
"No. It's to dangerous! Your entire body could have been broken down!" Ed yelled cutting me off.
"What's today?"
"Spencer, It's almost my birthday." I told him as he gasped.
We entered our room and Spencer noticed the books on the table.
"So, your gonna apply to be a State Alchemist..." Spencer sighed as he opened one and Ed flopped on the bed and fell asleep.
"Uh huh." I said as I transformed so I had a nightgown on and sat on my bed.
"Please, drop out." He said slamming the alchemy book shut.
"What! Why!" I protested as Spencer walked over to me.
Spencer was only one year younger than me. He had soft brown hair and amber eyes. He almost looked like Al when he was human. He sat on my bed and sighed.
"You don't know, do you?"
"About what?"
"The person who killed mom and dad... he was with the military." He finished and I gasped.
"That's no reason to drop out! I've worked so hard-"
Spencer slapped me in the face.
"Open your eyes, Sarai!" He yelled as I stayed in the position he slapped me into.
"Please..." He pleaded as I sat there unaware Ed was still awake.
"No... I need to get what we need and in order to do that, I need to join." I finished looking at him as he slapped me again.
"Your not listening! Look at the position we're in!"
"You know, it's a great position."
"Are you crazy! We don't have anything!"
"Would you like to go back to the gate! Would you have wanted me to get murdered!" I snapped at him as he sat there stunned.
"Look, thanks to Ed helping me your alive and I found Shoali. I know your aware he's a state Alchemist, but he's helped us so many times that I owe him my life." I sighed as Spencer stared at me.
Oh great. Now I'm gonna cry. I thought as my vision got blurry.
"What...what about Dan?" Spencer asked.
"He's..." I couldn't finish the sentence, but Spencer got the idea.
Hot tears began streaking down my face and Spencer stood up.
"Where does he rest?" Spencer asked as I stood up.
"I... I'll show you." I finished starting out the door.
When we came to the park, I showed Spencer the grave. I placed Roses on the grave and Spencer broke down. I stood there emotionless.
Why were you so hurtful? I thought as Spencer sat down and cried in his arms. I heard someone move behind the trees. I turned my head slightly and realized that Spencer was the target.
I heard a click as I moved to block Spencer. I heard a gun shot as I felt a sharp pain hit my side. Spencer turned and saw me fall on the grass.
"Sarai!" Spencer yelled as he flipped me over.
"Oww..." I groaned holding my side.
I heard another click, but this time someone hit the gunman. The gun fell and the person ran. Ed came out from behind the bushes and ran over to help.
"Are you okay?" Ed asked concerned.
"Yeah...I'm fine, but Spencer's a target." I explained as the pain went through my torso.
"Alright. We should go to the apartment." Ed said and Spencer and I nodded.
After we got into the apartment room, Ed set me down on my bed (A/N: Ed carried her bridal style up the stairs).
(((Space)))
"So, now what?" Spencer asked Ed as he grabbed a book out of his pocket.
"I... don't know." Ed replied and Spencer sweatdropped.
Spencer flipped through the pages of his book and found what he was looking for.
"Alright. Ed can you go get dinner? I haven't had anything to eat for... well... maybe eight years and the hunger pain is really taking it's toll on me."
"Uh... sure." Ed replied and walked out of the room.
"Good. Now..." Spencer said as he took a vile out of his pocket and smashed it on the floor.
The red liquid took the form of a stone. Spencer walked over to Sarai with the stone in his hand.
"Spencer... what are you doing...?" Sarai asked her eyes shutting.
Spencer held the stone near her side and didn't answer. The stone started glowing and the wound healed. Sarai fell asleep and Spencer put the stone in his pocket.
"Helping you..." He replied walking towards the kitchen.
"I'm back." Ed said walking into the room with loads of containers filled with chinese food.
Spencer ran, dived, and caught the food containers Ed accidentaly dropped.
"Wow. Your fast." Ed muttered as Spencer stood up and took the food containers to the table.
"Say Ed? How did you and my sister meet?" Spencer asked finishing a bowl of lo mein.
"I saved her from getting killed." Ed replied grabbing another bowl of lo mein.
"Interesting. How old are you?" Spencer asked making Ed cough.
"The same age as your sister. Why!" Ed yelled getting angry.
"Well your shorter than me and I'm younger than you. Hmm?"
"I'M NOT SHORT!" Ed yelled as Spencer sighed finishing his third bowl of lo mein.
"I'm sorry." Spencer apologized as Ed began his second bowl of lo mein.
After five minutes Ed was full, but Spencer wasn't.
"Are you gonna eat that?" Spencer asked pointing towards Ed's untouched bowl of lo mein.
"No. You can have it." Ed replied pushing his bowl across the table.
At that moment Ed's aim was off. The bowl skidded off the table and looked like it was gonna hit the floor. The bowl floated and landed in front of Spencer.
"What the hell!" Ed said shocked as Spencer began eating like nothing happened.
Spencer had chopsticks in his mouth and noticed Ed staring at him and he put the bowl on the table.
"It's obvious you want an explanation."
"Of course I do!"
Spencer sighed and he began eating again. A book floated towards Ed and he grabbed it.
"What's this?"
"What does it look like?"
Ed opened the book and read a bit.
"Your a homunculi like Sarai?" Ed asked and Spencer shook his head.
"No. We're Celestial Beings." Spencer finished as Ed's jaw dropped.
Spencer put the bowl back down.
"Sarai didn't tell you?"
"We thought she was a homunculi!"
"We?" Spencer asked confused.
"My brother. He's in the next room with Shoali and Soya." Ed replied pointing towards the door.
"You mean the armor with the spirit attachment?" Spencer asked and Ed stared at him.
"How did you know? You haven't met him yet!"
"I know alot of things. For example, you guys did something forbidden." Spencer stopped as he saw Ed hang his head in shame.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright. Where are you gonna sleep?" Ed asked changing the subject.
Spencer got up and went to the other side of Ed's bed.
"Here."
"But there's no bed."
"Then I'll make one."
Spencer clapped his hands and transmuted a bed. Ed's jaw dropped as Spencer flopped onto the bed.
