An Ed anime character fell in the corner as Hughes came in. Of course, Maes was being his usual self, showing pictures of his family to everyone he sees. "So, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, you followed me here didn't you?" Ed asked the obsessed man in front of him. Hughes turned serious all of a sudden and answered him, "I followed you for a reason Ed. The Fuhrer assigned me as your bodyguard on this trip! Isn't it great!" Ed was frozen in disbelief. Conan came over to him and asked Ed, "Hey, Ed. You know this guy? Who the heck is he?"

"Oh, he's with the military. His name is Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes." Conan looked at Ed funny, "Well, what did he mean by your 'bodyguard'?" Ed smiled and took out his silver pocketwatch. Richard heard the chain jingle and turned to see it. Ed told them, "I'm in the military too. I'm a State Alchemist who's on a search for something very special to help my brother." Conan looked at him funny because he didn't believe Ed. "If you're in the military, where's your uniform?"

He caught Ed. He had no proof that he is in the military, even if his watch meant that. All these people have never seen a watch like this and they wouldn't think it means that Ed is in the military either. "Uh...I don't have a uniform...I don't know why, but I don't."

"I knew it! You're just saying that you're in the military!"

"What! I am in the miltary!" As soon as Ed finished part of his arguement, a dark figure came in the room. He shook his coat and hung it on the hook. Rachel walked over to Ed. "Ed, do you know who that is?"

"Of course he knows who I am. I'm his Colonel. Call me Colonel Roy Mustang."

Ed was in the corner, standing there with an anger mark on his head as Roy finished.

"And this little boy isn't as tough as you think. His arm is metal and when they connected it to his shoulder, he was yelling 'It hurts it hurts! I'm gonna pee my pants'!"

Everyone started laughing and Ed just sat down in the corner and blushed. Mustang never leaves him alone when he is with other people. He always has to find a way to humiliate Ed in front of company.

"So, I guess I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for doubting you."

"Awe, it's alright. I'm not very good at proving my own stories, but you look like you could prove anything, even if you make it up!"

Conan couldn't help but laugh. He was becoming friends with Ed.

Al strutted over to Ed and said, "Brother, um, when are we gonna leave? I've got a bad feeling about these people. They're kinda' weird..."

Ed looked at him and replied, "Oh c'mon Al. They're not weird, they're just different."

Right as Ed finished, Richard grabbed his arm and said drunkly, "Hey Baby! Let's you and me tango!" Ed was trying to free himself from Richard's grasp as he said, "Okay Al, you're right. These people are weird! Let's get out of here!" Ed struggled really hard to get out of his grip as Richard kept saying, "Oh, c'mon baby. Where are ya goin? The party's just startin!"

"AL! A little help! Get this guy away from me!"

"Allow me!"

Richard was hit on the head with a book and he dropped Ed. Ed looked up at who did that and it was Rachel.

"Seriously Dad. You need to lay off the drinking when company is here."

Ed just looked up at her and smiled. Roy stared at him with an annoyed look on his face. Conan saw someone in the window and said, "Hey Ed. I just saw something in the window." Ed replied, "Do you know what is or where it went?" Conan just shook his head. Ed sighed.

A figure watched them from another window and ran off.
