Well, it's been quite some time…. You guys all know what the phrase "few and far between" means right? That's pretty much how all my updates for all my fics will be. Blame my teachers, not me. They loaded me with homework over the summer, and haven't let up since. Oh well. I'm going to answer reviews from both accounts since I got some reviews on both:
Flower Kid: They might sound familiar because I'm currently uploading my fics from my friend's account to mine, because I just got one over the summer.
Disco-Dancing on the Roof: It's coming, be patient. Or go after my teachers so they can't give me any more work. Either one.
Funerea Von Heinch the Goddess of SKOL: Umm…it would help if I knew if that was a compliment or sarcasm…
Dadaiiro: I'm not even sure how they switch back. Guess it would kind of help if I did know…
Kentuky Fly Chik, smeg1, madamwolf: You all said about the same thing, so I'll save time and answer all three at once. Thanks!
This one loaded pretty bad on the other account, and it's a really crappy, confusing, unfunny chapter. Be warned.

Disclaimer: I haven't quite yet figured out how to break into Hiromu Arakawa's house to steal the rights to FMA, so I still don't own it. I also don't own Satin in a Coffin (it's the song I used for this chapter, because I thought it kind of fit). The rights to that belong to Modest Mouse. That was a long disclaimer wasn't it?

Being the Enemy
Chapter 3: Satin in a Coffin
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You were laying on the carpet Like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're saying?"
Yeah, right now, but not that often. (A/N: That was the first verse of the song if you couldn't tell.)
A person who, on the outside, appeared to be Edward Elric, strode down the hall to what used to be his office angrily. Roy Mustang was pissed off. After returning to his office, which he thought was locked, he had discovered it open, with papers scattered across the room. Since there was only one person who had a key to that room…it didn't take a genius to figure that one out.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.
He was going to kill Ed. That little usurper is going to pay, he thought. Roy walked to his former office and opened the door. He was then greeted by the sight of himself.
"Hi, Shorty!" Ed screamed. Moron. Does he even realize what he's saying? Taking it upon himself to tell Ed exactly what he was saying, Roy said, "You do realize you're insulting yourself?" Ed's previous laughter was cut off. Mustang one, Elric zero, Roy laughed to himself.
Well, you disappeared so often,
Like you dissolved into coffee.
Are you here right now
Or are there probably fossils under your meat?
"Well, I still have the advantage," Ed said. He held up a small black book. "Your list of 'girlfriends' and their phone numbers, I believe." Damn.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.
"How about I call all these girls and let them know about all these other girls?" The laughter started again. He jumped from his position at the door toward Ed, with the attempt of grabbing the book, but unfortunately, due to his newfound height and shorter legs, he fell well short of his mark.
Now the blow's been softened,
Since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well, now the blow's been softened,
Since the ocean is our coffin.
Often time you our laughter
Is your coffin ever after.
As Ed's laughter continued, the door opened. (A/N: Dun, dun, dun!) Lt. Hawkeye walked in, followed by Havoc and Falman. Roy and Ed froze as the three newcomers stared at them.
And you know the blow's been softened,
Since the world is our coffin.
And now the blow's been softened,
Since we are our own damn coffins.
Well, everybody's talkin' 'bout their short lists.
Yeah, everybody's talking 'bout death.
"Do I even want to know?" Hawkeye asked. Roy suddenly realized what he and Ed must look like. He had landed on his hands and knees in front of Ed, as Ed held a book over his head. Given the fact that Ed had been laughing manically when they walked in, it was a very strange scene.
You were laying on the carpet Like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're saying?"
Yeah, right now, but not that often.
Havoc in particular must have found this scene amusing, because he burst out laughing. How does he keep that cigarette in his mouth? Roy found himself wondering. "Geez, I didn't know you thought so highly of Mustang, Fullmetal!" he said, still laughing, the cigarette still in his mouth.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.
He was going to kill Edward Elric.

Yet again…
FUNNY QUOTE OF THE DAY!
Okay, this quote isn't from FMA at all. It's from a Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic that I'm pretty sure got deleted. Good thing I printed it out before that happened!
"Let me go, you illegitimate spawn of Bob Dole and the Pillsbury Doughboy!" – Hiei, The Cast of Yu Yu Hakusho Presents: A Christmas Carol
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Hiei was talking to Kuwabara, because if you don't know that, it isn't as funny. That whole fic was funny. Which is probably because I hate that book. Before I offend people who like it, I only hate it because my LA teacher has a Charles Dickens fetish, and I had to do a ten page report about it. Anyway, I didn't like this chapter. I thought it was dumb. I just like the song. For any of you still reading this, does anyone out there know which website the Royai 100 themes list is on? I can't find it.
Please Review!
