Chapter 8

"I thought that I'd stop by. You know," Ed scratched the back of his head. Well, I look like a complete idiot. Ed stepped inside and Elysia grabbed his hand.

"Huh?" Ed stared down at her but Elysia just smiled back. So carefree. She just...doesn't understand.

"Come on, Mr. Ed!" Elysia said happily, leading him into the Hughes's home. Ed nearly fell and saw Mrs. Hughes laughing, while Ed was being dragged away.

"Eh?" Ed didn't like this feeling he was getting. Being dragged by a four year old wasn't something he'd like to do very often. And something he certainly wasn't doing again. 'Hopefully,' Ed thought.

"Come on!" Elysia led Edward upstairs and Mrs. Hughes watches, smiling from the bottom of the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and began to fix up some food for those two.

"This is my room!" Elysia exclaimed as she took him down the hallway in her home. I guess you could've called it a little large for a four year old. But knowing Mr. Hughes, he was going to fill the place up with either photographs or toys.

"Wow..This is huge," Ed looked around. There was so much space but it was so empty. 'This is way bigger than my room ever was,' Ed thought. Ed fell to the ground.

"WHYY?" Ed was lying on the ground in a fetal position and groaned. 'Mr. Hughes you idiot! Spoiling your daughter like this!'

"Mr. Ed?" Elysia lay on the ground in front of Edward, "Are you okay?" She asked slowly, knocking on his head lightly.

"Yeah...I'm fine," Ed quickly sat up into a sitting position and put rested his chin on his hand while his elbow lay on his thigh (A/N: I really hate that word for some reason XD its probably cuz I'm really chubby in that general area xDDD).

"Can I ask you a question?" Elysia said innocently. How could Ed ever ignore that cute face of hers.

"Uh, sure. What is it?" Ed smiled at Elysia, "I'll tell you everything I know!" he played gently.

"Well, daddy hasn't been coming home. Where did he go, Mr. Ed? Is he okay?" Elysia's eyes were filled with sadness. Ed couldn't just break her heart by just going out and telling her.

Mrs. Hughes stood in the doorway of Elysia's room, carrying a small food tray. Having heard Elysia's question tears began to stream down her face.

"Maybe...You can explain things better than I can, Edward." she said, sadly.

Ed glanced at Elysia. Her confused look told him that if she found out herself when she was older, she might not like it having come out that way.

"I well..sure, Mrs. Hughes. Sit down here, Elysia." Ed put his hand on the ground next to him. Obediently, Elysia sat there next to Ed and looked up at him with her confused gaze. Mrs. Hughes, too, sat down on the ground and lowered the tray.

Roy Mustang buried his nose in the books for the next few hours, which was something you usually didn't see in the everyday life of him. Always slacking off, Mustang was usually in his office making some weird decision he'd make when "he was Fuhrer one day".

But he couldn't help but concentrate. His new 1st lieutenant had been on his mind ever since he'd talked to him. He finally decided to go up himself to go and check out what was going on, when Fury didn't wake up.

Criminal records should've been kept until a certain date, when they were disposed of. The colonel smiled as he finally found the piece of information regarding his new 1st lieutenants parents. His eyes widened as he read the documents. 'So this happened, huh?' he thought as he shut the books after reading all he wanted. On a slip of paper he sloppily wrote where the record was if he ever needed them.

"Amazing. Would've never thought about that. Well actually I would've!" His voice became dignified, "After all I am the colonel Mustang who can do research better than any other military dog!"

"So why don't you ever go do research yourself?" Havoc asked, grinning. A cigarette was in his mouth, obviously, and he wanted answers.

"If you're the best researcher there is around, why not ever do your own research?" Havoc asked with an evil glare.

"Uhm.. Because I am THE best researcher, I'm always so busy doing other researches.. That are much more important!" Roy lied, trying to keep a straight face.

"But if your so packed with work, why are you always slacking?" this was becoming slightly entertaining.

"Uh..Uh... Get back to work 2nd lieutenant!" Mustang ordered.

"What work? We're almost the only ones here, remember? Besides, what were you researching that was so important that you actually did it yourself?"

"Nothing," Roy said coldly. He didn't want Havoc to become involved too.

"Oh fine, whatever." Havoc put out his cigarette and faced Mustang, "So what do we do now, Great Researcher, Mustang?" he asked sarcastically.

"You can go home, if you want." Mustang said starting to walk past Havoc. Havoc held out his arm and stopped Roy.

"I'd much rather help my colonel with whatever he's doing," Havoc smiled at Mustang, who was staring dumbstruck.

"Fine then, Havoc. Tell me where my 1st lieutenant is!" he ordered. Judging by his tone, you'd seriously think he was talking to a dog and not his 2nd lieutenant.

"She went to get some rest, like you told her to,"

"I know that," Mustang shook his head, "where did she go to rest?"

"Someplace. I dunno. But I think she said she was going to an inn in the city," Havoc said.

"Hmm. Okay. That's all I need to know," Mustang started walking forward again, hoping Havoc wouldn't remember-

"Hey, you still didn't tell me what you were researching!" Havoc called from down the hallway.

'Damnit, he DID remember!' Mustang thought as he froze, with a scowl.

"I'll explain it to you tomorrow,"

"Fine, whatever you say."

Mustang started walking again down the hallway when he was-

"HEY!" Havoc called him back again, "You still owe be 10 dollars!" he said playfully.

Mustang ignored him and kept walking.

"He seriously, can't see a joke when it's thrown bluntly in front of his face." Havoc said frowning.

OK...umm...yeah.. I got a field trip tomorrow, for school. I swear I think i might barf, from motion sickness, cuz we're going to see an IMAX movie...xx' and im fasting so it doesn't make matters any better.

But I'll be updated a tad bit quicker sicne im out of my Naruto phase xDD
