Look everybody! An update! Sorry it took so long. I had the first five chapters written on paper, but when I read over them, it made no sense. So I had to rewrite them. Just in case that isn't bad new enough for me, I only got one review. But at least that's less I have to type…
Madamwolf: My first and only reviewer! And this isn't a remake of a story that already exists. It's a repost. Smileyfacedudet was my friend's file, and she let me put my stories on it. Now I have my own and I'm reposting my stories on this one. I'm assuming a lot of people had the same thoughts as you and think I'm ripping off Smiley…

Disclaimer: If I owned Fullmetal Alchemist, I would lock Armstrong in a closet so we wouldn't have to look at him.

Being the Enemy
Chapter 2: Revenge is Sweet…I Think
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
When Roy woke up, the first thing he did was yell at Hughes, which brought to his attention the fact that his voice had gotten higher. He looked at his hands, and saw white gloves, but they didn't have the familiar transmutation circle that would be necessary to torch Hughes. Becoming more confused by the second, he took off his right glove, and gasped when he saw not flesh and blood, but cold, gray automail. Now he knew who his new voice belonged to.
"Hughes, what the hell was that circle supposed to do?" Roy asked as calmly as he could.
"I don't know, the book I found it in didn't say," Hughes replied while rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"You switched us!" Roy heard his own voice scream. "Turn us back now!"
"I don't know how," Hughes said, looking about to run away to avoid a long and painful death at the hands of the Fullmetal Alchemist. Of course he doesn't know, Fullmetal. This is Hughes we're talking about, Roy thought, almost laughing at Ed's stupidity.
"Well Hughes, we can't just stay like this," was what he said at loud.
Hughes looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, "Sure you can! All you have to do is pretend to be each other! It's so obvious I can't believe I didn't think of it before!"
Both Roy and Ed looked at Hughes, then at each other. Roy screamed, "Hell no!" at the same time Ed said, "Okay." Roy couldn't help but stare at Ed.
"What did you just say? We can't pretend to be each other, Fullmetal," he said in disbelief. Ed just stared back, a wide smile on Roy's former face that was just plain disturbing.
After a moment of awkward silence, Ed stood up and said, "Well, I better get back to the office. I have a lot of paperwork to do." Then, he just walked out the door without so much as another word.
"That was creepy," Hughes said. Roy just nodded, his imagination's images of what that smile could mean keeping him mute with horror.

Ed practically ran down the street to get back to the military building. Apparently, he was the only one smart enough to take advantage of this situation, taking this opportunity to finally get revenge.
Finally reaching his destination, Ed reached for the knob on the door to Mustang's office. He tried to turn it, only to discover it was locked. Dammit. Now what? He slumped his shoulders in defeat only to remember something. Wait a minute…I'm in Mustang's body! Rummaging through the pockets of Mustang's uniform, Ed discovered a key ring. After trying every other key, he put the last one in the lock, and it fit. Figures, Ed thought. Just my luck. Opening the door, he immediately began searching for blackmail material. Phase one of my evil plan begins now.
Ed opened up one of the drawers in Mustang's desk and looked through it. Nothing. If I were Mustang, where would I hide stuff that could be used against me as blackmail? He searched through all the other drawers thoroughly, but to no avail. He searched the top of the desk and found nothing. He searched the entire office…nothing. It looked like Phase one wouldn't start for a long time yet.

Yet again it's time for…
FUNNY QUOTE OF THE DAY!
Okay, today I have two quotes, both meaning more or less the same thing, and both from the same character. You'll see after you read them.
"Dogs embody loyalty! They obey their master's commands above all else! Be a jerk to them and they don't whine or complain or beg for a paycheck! Trust me Fury, they are truly the loyal servants of man. (singing) Loyal canine, how we salute thee!" – Roy Mustang, Episode 13, Fullmetal vs. Flame
"Hey guys, my ears were burning, thought I'd come check it out and entertain you with a display of my closet insanity." – Roy Mustang, from Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Summarized, Chapter 13, Honou vs. Hagane (Flame vs. Fullmetal –sound familiar?)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In case you didn't get it, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Summarized is a fanfic that basically makes fun of Fullmetal Alchemist. The second quote was a summarized version of what Roy said about dogs. It's on mediaminer, and I think it's hilarious. But don't read it if you're offended by RoyEd or Elricest. Also, that request for the Royai 100 themes still stands. I can't find it anywhere! Where the heck is it? Anyway…
Please Review!
