This story is the sequel to The Dog, The Bean, and The Well...; I've wanted to make a FMA/YGO crossover for some time now. So! Just to get these topics out and over with; one: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist or Yu-Gi-Oh! Even though it would be really cool, sadly I don't (sniffle). Two: in terms of timeline thingy for Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm doing it in Millennium World, so it's in ancient Egypt. Three: I haven't the slightest clue what Yami Yugis' real name is, with so many names goin' around I figured I'd just stick with this one, Atem. Now, this is just a name I've seen go around I'm not saying it's his real name (if anyone knows TELL ME PWEASE!), it's just one I thought sounded cool. Well, that pretty much covers that...yup...

Chapter One: Home Again in Risembool

It was a quiet peaceful morning at the Rockbell residence, everyone was still sleeping. Everyone that is except rather dismal looking young man with long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, he gazed off into the horizon with mournful gold eyes. His name was Edward Elric, today would be his seventeenth birthday...it was funny...it has been a whole year he's been back and yet the whole adventure, if you could call it that, with Inuyasha and Kagome and the others was still fresh in his memory.

He leaned back against the house wall and gazed up at the now clearing sky, he then placed his right hand over the back of his left shoulder. Ed's eyes narrowed when the memory of his darker half resurfaced. His darker half, the mind of a homunculus, this still didn't settle well with him but he'd learned to cope with it. That's when the door swung open and Winry Rockbell came out, she hadn't noticed Edward yet so she was going about her business.

She stretched and looked out across the open fields in the distance, it was when she turned around to go back inside that she noticed Edward sitting there.

"Oh! Edward, I didn't see you." Winry said, Ed looked up, as if he too had just realized she was there, he didn't say anything. Winry raised an eyebrow then saw he had his hand over his shoulder,

"You ok?" she asked.

"..."

"That bruise still there? Is it bothering you?"

Edward frowned, he knew she knew it wasn't really a bruise but it still felt rather funny. He sighed and stood up putting his hand behind his head and saying,

"Naw, it's fine. I was just thinking that's all, here how about I make breakfast!" he walked over and opened the door then walked in. Winry had a rather worried look on her face, she was worried that maybe that other side of him would come back. She didn't really understand the whole sealing thing the brothers had explained to her and granny but it still bothered her.

A moment later she walked back into the house and went straight for the kitchen, there she found Edward flipping through a cookbook with a frown on his face,

"What's the matter?" she asked, he didn't look at her he just chucked the book on the counter and said,

"Do you know where the flour is? I can't seem to find anything in this kitchen." Winry just smiled and walked up behind him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and forced him over to the table, she then shoved him into a chair, she nodded and walked over to where Ed had tossed the cook book and picked it up saying,

"Don't think I forgot it's your birthday, and the birthday person doesn't make breakfast."

Edward had a bewildered and slightly embarrassed look on his face, she had never done that before...or wait...maybe she did. He scratched the back of his head in frustration, why where the simplest things starting to slip his memory?

It wasn't long before Alphonse came down, he had woken to the smell of breakfast, he sat down next to his brother at the table.

"Good morning brother!" he said cheerfully.

"Good morning Al..." Ed replied.

"Happy birthday." Al smiled, Ed looked at him then down at the table and said,

"Thanks...you know Al, it's been a year now."

"Yep!" Al was quite aware of this but thought it would be best not to talk about that today "Hey brother! I've got an idea, why don't we go somewhere for..." Al had to duck super fast because Winry had rounded and chucked an egg at his head. Edward had ducked also more out of shock and reflex then anything else.

"W...Winry what was that for?" Al stuttered.

"You two aren't planing on leaving without telling Granny and me are you?" she glared.

"No, that's not it at all," Al said holding up his hands defensively "I was going to say, why don't we take a trip or vacation or something like that. You are more then welcome to join us if you want."

"Really? Where did you have in mind?" Winry said changing attitudes suddenly.

"Why don't we go visit Xenotime?" Al suggested, Edward frowned for a moment then said,

"That's where Russell and Fletcher Tringum live right?"

"Yeah! We could catch up on lost time! You know, it has been sometime sense we've talked to them." Al nodded.

"Who?" Winry asked.

"That's right, Winry hasn't met them yet." Al said.

"We met them back when we where still searching for the Philosophers Stone, their father Nash Tringum was doing research on a substance called Red Water. It could be compressed into a Red Stone." Ed started "The two posed as us so they could continue their fathers work under the financial aide of a land baron named Mugear."

"Ok then, yeah that sounds like fun!" Winry smiled. The brothers smiled and waited for breakfast. About a half an hour later Winry had made toast, eggs, and sausage. She set it all out on the table and sat down,

"So, when are we leaving?" she asked helping herself to some toast. Edward just reached across the table and took the plate with the sausages, Alphonse though piped in,

"I was thinking we could maybe leave…tomorrow, or whenever you want."

"Sure, why not." Ed said now spooning eggs onto his plate.

"Yeah! I'll have to tell Granny though." Winry laughed.

"You three go have fun," a voice said, everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw Pinako standing in the doorway to the kitchen "I have no problem with it, you kids have fun."

"Are you sure Granny?" Winry asked, Pinako just nodded. Edward leaned back in his chair and smiled,

"Then it's settled, we're going to Xenotime."

"But, what about your birthday?" Winry asked suddenly. Ed's chair slipped out from underneath him and he fell with a thud onto the floor.

"Brother!" Al jumped up to see if his brother was ok, Edward jumped up and looked around shocked,

"Whoa! Huh?" he stuttered.

"I said, what about your birthday?" Winry repeated.

"Oh, well…um…" Ed glanced over at Al who just shrugged "It's not a problem Winry, this was a very nice breakfast. I'd say you're getting better at cooking."

Winry frowned but then shrugged it off, she thought it would be nice to spend some time with the brothers, after all it had been a long time sense it was just the three of them hanging out.

-To Be Continued-

AAANNNDDD we're off! I just want to let everyone know in advance the gang won't get to Millennium World (a.k.a. ancient Egypt/ YGO world place) until about maybe chapter…um…eight or nine…I forgot. Two days ago I lost the disk that had all the info I needed for this story so I'm sorta goin' off memory. BUT! If anyone has a suggestion or something then feel free to…suggest! I'm open to anything…mostly, like pairings…I'm not against pairings (heck I'm starting to not mind the Ed/Win. Pairing gasp!) maybe in future stories I'll do that but for the time being my stories will only have hinting but nothing like confessing so and so as their one true love sort of thing. But don't let that stop you! Anywhozles, please review! And enjoy!
