A.N. Yay! Reviews! more happy dance but to whoever sent me that review, please put who you are, so I can respond properly. (that is, by using your username)

Part 2- I'm soooooooo sorrrrrrry that I couldn't post sooner. To put it short, report cards happened. I wanted to go online, but I value my life. So a lot of chapters (that is, if I can manage) will be posted in a very short amount of time.

now to do the thing that pisses off every fanfic reader to no end:

THANKING REVIEWERS!

I know, I know, and as a reader myself I understand how annoying this is. It goes on… and on… and on… but I have only one reviewer. So I shall thank them now:

? (I had no name)-thanks. Riza's mad, well, because I have people a little OOC here. that and she's had a loooong day. The last thing she needs is Roy flying off the handle over, of all things, Christmas decorations. As for pairings, I've got a few, but they'll be showing up closer to Christmas. .

Oh, also. If you (the person who didn't send with their username) could send in your name, I'll post it in the chapter.

Now, on to the little legal part:

Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist. Hiromu Arakawa does.

Warnings: people are slightly OOC here. if you are offended by this story, too bad. This story is protected by my Constitutional rights (first amendment), and if you try to delete this story, I will sue you for obstruction of MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. AND THIS WILL GO IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS HALFLINGERS (not using my real last name) VS. AND I WILL WIN! MWAHAHAHAHAAA!

so now, LET THE CHAPTER…BEGIN!

Dec. 2

East City HQ (A.N. that is my little preface for each chappie.)

Weather-Still freaking cold. When will the snow start?

"Relax, Colonel. I'm not going to hurt you." When Riza grabbed the collar of his uniform he freaked out, thinking that she was going to shoot him.

"Well, why did you grab my collar?"

"You had tape on the back of your shirt." She held up the offending piece of tape. Now Roy felt like an idiot. A complete and total idiot.

Suddenly, Havoc and Hughes came running in. (Maes happened to be in the same building, conveniently located.)

"Sir, what's wrong? I heard you scream."

"Roy, did you do something stupid?" the offended Alchemist glared at Hughes.

"Well, did you?" Fuery snickered (what did I say, OOC) the two others at the scene, Riza and Fuery looked at each other, and nodded. So Riza explained what had happened. By he end of the story, Maes was almost rolling on the ground laughing.

"I was right! You DID do something stupid."

Slowly everyone filed out of the room, returning to work. Everyone that is, except for Fuery. He had decorating to do.

(this is slightly fluffy)

The train slowly pulled into the station of East City, steam billowing out into the cold air. Edward Elric stepped out of the warm train car and shivered. His younger brother, Alphonse, stepped out after him.

"Big Brother, is it really cold?" To tell the truth, Al couldn't feel temperature, hunger, or even pain. He was a soul, locked inside a armor body by a single rune in the back, written in Edward's blood.

"Meh. Not really. Only slightly."

"Well then, let's report in."

And the two brothers walked of the platform, headed towards HQ.

A.N. end of Chapter 2! Not much more to write, so I can post more!
