Warnings: If Pride is a boy, then YAOI. If not, for Envy's perverted mind and language. Also for spoilers in episode 51.

Disclaimer: No FMA for me, but if you want to see me and my sisters torture the FMA crew, look for our story "FMAtrix" (it's a random name).

Note: I have written Pride the way I think he should be. please correct me if I'm wrong. I got this Pride from the PS2 game "Bluebird's Illusion".

It had been only three months since Al had gotten his body back. The Elric brothers now lived a peaceful life in their own little house.

The eldest Elric was looking for something to drink, when he stumbled upon his least favorite liquid. Milk. A lifeless, emotionless golden eye twitched with annoyance. Even after what happened to him, he still HATED milk. The younger of the two walked in, and sat at the table. Upon seeing his brother, memories of that night flashed through his head.

/ 3rd Person POV Flashback \

They where so close. But Envy had ruined it all. Ed was stabbed through the chest, with Al but a few feet away. All the younger Elric could do was watch in horror as his brother slid off of Envy's knife-like arm.

Al hardly noticed that the sin was lunging for him. He turned, just in time, and activated the array he was standing on. There was a flash of blinding light, and then, nothing. When the light cleared, Ed was lying in the middle of the floor, unharmed.

Finding out that his brother had sacrificed himself, Ed couldn't bare to think that he was gone. He sacrificed himself back for his brother, but this time, he didn't see the gate. It felt like his soul was being drained of something.

When he next woke, he saw Al's face above his, fully human. Worry was etched all over his younger brother's features. But, he didn't feel sadness. In fact, he didn't feel anything at the moment. Al helped him up, and they began their silent walk back home.

The first thing on Ed's mind as they walked through the door, was a shower. In the bathroom, the eldest Elric looked into the mirror, and the sight he saw made him feel sick. He looked like Envy: short cut-off shirt, skort, an Oroborous tattoo on his left shoulder, and everything else. (Complete with orange-red markings winding up his sides.)

Al ran to the bathroom at Ed's scream, only to find him already passed out. He was going to have to explain quite a bit to make Ed understand.

" Al, I thought I said that I still hate milk. Why can't we ever have orange juice, or something? " pointed out Ed, in a light voice.

Ever since Ed was like this, his voice was always soft, almost girly. He also had been more with held and sulky. Al didn't like the new Ed as much. He was a little creeped out that his brother was a homunculus. The younger Elric sighed.

" I know, brother... " but Al was cut off.

Ed turned to him, and whispered, " It's Pride. Call me Pride. "

Al was at a loss for words. It shocked him that his brother wanted to be named after a homunculus, a sin. He shuddered.

" Why do you want to be named after a sin? Doesn't it remind you of Envy and the others? " Al asked, a bit shyly. He was afraid what his brother would say.

" It's almost like, it's right. Something inside me says it is. I don't know, Al. I truly don't, " 'Pride' whispered, " And I hate to admit it, but I'm scared, Al. I don't know what to do. "

By now, Pride was silently crying. Al walked over to him, and held him close.

Unbeknownst to the two, a shadow was lurking outside of their window. He sneered.

" I'll get you sooner than you know, Chibi-chan. " And then he was gone.

To be con't...

Anyone know who Mr. Shadow-Person is? You'd have to be stupid not to... The person(people, and in this case, probably everyone) who answers right gets a prize.

Annoying Hint-Thingy: Chibi-chan (pipsqueek) is used most by whom? (even my mom knows, and thats sad)
