As Roy strolled into the market his legs almost gave way. Considering it was the first time he went to a market to get dog food, he was completely lost. 'Geez, they should have some kind of sign that points you where to go for each thing you get..or something of the sort,' Roy thought as he stared in amazement all around him. What he didn't noticed, was that there were signs like that, hanging from the ceiling. 'Looks like I'll have to look all over this entire place,' Roy sighed and began his 'journey' in the first aisle he saw.

Ed walked down the streets. He was still thinking back on what he said to Elysia. But was there an easier way to tell a child their father is dead? He guessed not, and kept moving forward. Surges of guilt were following him around and he had no clue on what to do with it. He took a right turn. He kept thinking that maybe he shouldn't have gone to the Hughes's home. He'd already been getting nightmares ever since Hughes and Hawkeye had died. Nightmares of his mother, the night he transmuted her, and nightmares of Hughes and Hawkeye. His mind was being terrible to him, making his dreams allow gunshots and blood into them. Hughes and Hawkeye falling to the ground, completely lifeless. While he was there, doing nothing about it. He kicked a rock, laying on the ground, onto the deserted street and stood there stiffly. No matter how many times his mind told him 'They're gone and they're not coming back' he kept feeling so guilty.

And Mustang. How could Mustang be so ignorant. It was after all his own fault that everyone was dying. Hughes had died for his own sake. And Riza had died trying to help find out what had killed him. In the end, it was all his own fault. And he had every right to get every blame set on him. But they weren't. No one was blaming him the way they should have.

'Why do you want the blame? Would it make you feel better?' His inner self questioned him. Edward hated it when it did that. It only made him feel worse. But quietly, Edward knew they if the blame were set on him, things wouldn't get better. So why would he want it?

'Is it because you want people to realize that you killed them?' Ed clenched his fists.

'Or because you just want to make it feel like you found their killer?' He didn't know. He didn't want to know. Either one would make him feel like crap inside. He broke off into a run. He didn't know where he was going, but as long as he was running, he was fine with that. Just running into a random direction.

'Are you trying to run away, Edward? Being childish and hoping that if you run, everything will go away and be fine again?' Edward tripped over himself and in the process dropped his State Alchemist Pocket Watch. He didn't care. He felt as if he didn't deserve it anymore. Heck, he didn't care if Scar came walking up the street right now and wanted to kill him in the name of Ishbala. Which was exactly what happened right then and there.

But Edward lay on the ground. His clenched fists lay in front of him and his Pocket Watch was laying several feet from his head. Scar, noticing the glint of silver light, stopped and noticed the Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward saw Scar, but his feet refused to let him to stand up straight. Even if he did stand up, he doubted that they would let him run away from Scar. He just lay there, hoping for the end.

"Let's see..Dog food, Dog food, dog food," Roy Mustang walked around the market in attempt to feed his former lieutenant's dog, which at the moment was starving in his car.

"Sir," A woman who was passing by in the aisle Roy was in spoke up for Roy to hear her. She obviously knew where dog food was.

"Eh?" Roy, realizing the woman's beauty, was in shock. But he soon snapped himself out of it. "I'm sorry, but at the moment I'm not looking for any girlfriends." Roy waved his hand at her, motioning her to move along. The next thing he knew, he was on the floor with the woman standing right above him.

"What I wanted to say was that dog food is on the next aisle. Just trying to make things easier for you." She snapped back at him angrily. The last thing she needed was a egotistical man following her around.

"Ugh..." Roy groaned from the pain of the woman fist. 'Geez, she's strong.' Roy noted. He slowly got up from the position he was in and hoped that what he thought that happened didn't happen. The last thing he needed was someone seeing the Flame Alchemist being beat down by a random woman in the market.

And so, Roy pulled himself back together and dragged himself to the next aisle, hoping what the woman said was right. And right she was because 'lo and behold there was dog food. Roy pulled a random bag off the shelf and began to drag himself to the clerk, who was lazily reading a magazine.

"Okay, this is all I need." Roy stated and shoved the dog food in front of the clerk.

"100," The clerk said after seeing Roy's purchase.

"100! ARE YOU CRAZY! IT'S A PACK OF DOG FOOD!" Roy screamed at the clerk. He wasn't in a good mood and Roy was ready to let the whole world know he wasn't in a good mood.

"Ah, but sir, you picked up Elite Food-o. It's the best kind of dog food there is,"

Roy's eyes traveled down to the small pouch of dog food he had picked from the shelf. He got out of line and dragged himself all the way back to the dog food aisle. This time he was actually going to check the price.

May rubbed her eyes and only then realized how sleepy she really was. She didn't know but maybe it wasn't a good idea to transfer to Central Headquarters. She made a few good friends and learned that Mustang was getting a new girlfriend almost every week. And most of the time they were stolen from his other subordinate, Jean Havoc. Moving onto Jean Havoc, she learned that he was desperately searching for a good girlfriend that Mustang couldn't steal away from him. In a way she actually felt kind of sorry for Havoc. Sorry that he had to deal with his boss in that kind of way. She didn't know, but at first she thought Kain Fury would be the slacker type, especially when she found him snoozing in Mustang's office. But Mustang didn't seem to mind and she was told later that the slacker was actually Roy Mustang himself. Fury was actually hard working and loyal. She wasn't sure if she had any other subordinates, but she felt as if the bunch she was in was enough.

But whenever she brought up the subject on Roy's friend Maes Hughes...her friends got into a foul mood. They said that Maes Hughes would be the most annoying man you'd ever meet in your life, but was the most amazing friend that would do a lot to help you. She honestly didn't know how to take this kind of information. Her eyes were wide when she was told this. Every time she asked someone about Hughes, she was told the same thing over and over again. 'That man didn't deserve to die,' was what they said. And after that she didn't know what to say.

"I'm not here for some kind of vacation," May told herself. "I'm here for work. To find out what happened to Mom and Dad. That's why I'm here,"

As Edward lay in the streets he moaned as Scar edged nearer and nearer.

"Fullmetal," Scar spoke with a stiff voice.

"Just get it done and over with! Take me off your list. Let me out of here." Ed's voice was hoarse and he was just keeping tears from falling out of his eyes and onto his face.

"I cannot,"

"What are you talking about!" Edward yelled at Scar who stood a foot away from him.

"One is only a State Alchemist when the Pocket watch is his. But that certain Pocket watch is not in your possession. Scar pointed off to where the watch was laying, feet ahead of me. "I cannot understand why you are asking for death either."

"Because I deserve it,"

Awww. Poor Edward. Now I know you're probably wondering a couple of things.

"What's with Ed being so emotional all of a sudden?"

Ok..I have a couple reasons for this. In the manga and the anime, I remember Edward was being so pissed off for the death of Nina. And how he couldn't do anything to help. And when he found out that Hughes had died for his cause, Edward was angry at himself too. And also...People always tell me I act so mature for my age. And that I should be like older than I actually am. Now..I was trying to think in a way I would if I were older. I don't know about you. But if I was living, knowing that someone else had died for me, I don't think I'd be able to handle it. I'd be so very emotional.

"Scar's not killing Edward?"

I was thinking awhile about this. And I knew that people would be pissed off if I killed Edward. -stabs Edward voodoo doll- Whoops! Plus, it took awhile for me to get a logical reason for Scar not to kill Edward. Then I remembered in the anime that Edward told Scar that his life in the military was over (in the earlier episodes). Scar told him it were better that way. And in the end of the episode Scar saw that Edward had his pocketwatch again. So I thought of the pocketwatch as a symbol of being a State Alchemist. And since Edward doesn't have his pocketwatch (in here) Scar can't consider him as a State Alchemist. But that's just me. That's how I thought of it to happen..-shrugs-
