Chapter 3: Memories of Old

Ed looked up into the fiery eyes of Roy Mustang.

"Um hello Brigadier General…just catching up with my brother." Maese was right…to be able to see Roy looked startled was priceless!

"What?"

"Oh I know all about us."

"Maese!And you were the better one at keeping secrets!" Roy said irritated.

"What can I say? With this kid I just can't keep secrets. How long were you going to go on without him knowing."

"As long as I could get away with it." Roy said grumpily while he sat in between Maese and Armstrong.

"Why?" Ed and Maese asked at the same time.

"Because I didn't want you to know…I thought that you would reject me if you found out who you were related to." he said as he looked into the fire place.

An awkward silence filled the room.

It was broken by Alex's laugh.

"What's so funny Major?" Ed asked curiously.

"Just remembering things from the past."

"Oh like what!" he asked all too excited.

"Like when Maese was 16 and was starting to get into drugs and how Kimbley got him right out of it."

"Oh god!" Maese said while turning eight shades of red.

"Ha! I remember that! Now its time for little Maese to become embarrassed."

"Well TELL me! I wanna know what you went through!"

"Ok…here's what happened…" Alex when on

Alex Armstrong's POV

Like any other day I went over to my best friend Roy's house. Sure I had a huge house but over at Roy's we always had the greatest time. For some reason it just seemed more entertaining. Upon reaching the little house that was next to our mansion I knocked on the door and of course my best friend answered the door.

"Oh come on in Alex…please excuse dumbass over there." I cringed. Even though Roy was 14 he cursed just like a 21 year old.

Looking around the room I saw that it was messier than usual.

"Zolf must not be home yet."

"Yeah, must've stopped by the store or something. I hope he didn't get jumped." he said suddenly worried. I then saw what the dumbass was. Maese and Roy were always fighting and then being the closest of friends. Obviously they were fighting right now.

"Why are you mad at Maese?"

"LOOK at him!" I look over and see that he's smoking. I yet again cringe. Filthy habit that I despised since my father did it I learned at an early age that it was a horrible thing to do.

"So he's smoking. He's 16 going on 17 Roy pretty soon Zolf and you aren't going to be able to control him."

"Its not tobacco." he said pointedly.

"Then what is he inhaling!" I guess growing up in such a sheltered life style I wouldn't catch that sweet smell in the air.

"Idiot is starting to get into weed. IT'S GONNA MESS YOU UP!" he said while yelling towards Maese's direction.

"Hey it's relieving me of stress! I need that if I'm gonna be in the same house with you!"

"If any of us needed some relieving it would be Zolf. We got it so easy compare to him."

"He don't have to deal with you though! That in itself should be enough of an explanation!" Maese shot back. I began to twitch, I liked Maese and all but I was hear for Roy and it made me a tad bit mad that he was talking to him that way…I take that back. Seeing as Roy just did something…now Maese is on the floor…what happened? I looked away for one moment and the next moment Roy's standing above Maese grinning.

What had happened

Roy was upset with Maese as it was. Quickly making his way over to Maese he waved his hands in front of his face. Maese then fell backwards making sharp contact with the floor.

Back to Alex's POV

"Don't DO that man! Your gonna kill somebody!"

"I know how to mess with your head since you doing something like this!" he said as he picked up the baggie of shredded grass…so that's what weed looks like eh?

Just then the door opens up and in walks Zolf. He had a bag of groceries resting on his left hip. He was an adult to look up to I thought. For only being 21 he sure as hell supported his two little brothers well while being in the military and working two other jobs. He looked at the substance that was in Roy's hand and then raised an eyebrow at him. Roy then dropped it as if he was holding poison.

"I-I'm not! I-its not what it looks like! Honestly! I swear!" he said with his hands in defensive mode.

"I never said anything. I trust that you'll fess up. So your brother's doing it huh?"

"Yeah I told him he was an asshole for doing so…sorry Kimbley." he realized he just cursed in front of his dear brother. He was trying to quit for him. 'Your only 14 you don't need to have a mouth like mine!' is what he usually got. I was begging to think what if he becomes addicted to this stuff…

Everyone's thoughts were cut short as Maese gave out a cry of pure terror. Zolf nearly tripped trying to get to him.

"What! What's wrong!" now he was worried. What a good brother.

"ZOLF! MY LEGS! THEY JUST WALKED OUT THE DOOR! MY LEGS!" he said while holding on Zolf's shirt.

"Want me to go get them?"

"PLEASE!"

"Stay hear."

"Ok.." Maese said in near tears.

Zolf came back with a grin on his face then had to quickly cover it up with a pain expression…he was up to something. Sure he was an adult to look up to but he was also a trickster to look up to as well.

"Man a car just hit your legs." he said all disappointed.

"NOOOOOO!"

"Poor Maese…now your gonna have to roll everywhere!" Roy said while loving every moment of his brother's high agony.

This is why I came over to his house…this kind of humor doesn't happen at my house…..no where near it

Normal POV

Ed, Roy, and Alex were all laughing. Tears were begging to come to their eyes.

"He…he…did THAT to you! Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!"

"The next day was funny as ever. Remember Alex?"

"Oh yeah…. 'That's wasn't funny man….that wasn't funny. Doing that to me while I was high!' was his exact words." Alex even imitated the whole sadness too.

"Needless to say Edward, he never smoked weed EVER again."

"Who would after that incident!" Maese yelled.

"Well you put yourself into that one Maese."

"Yeah I did." he then grinned. Then looked at Alex.

"Remember Roy's first nightmare Alex? That was also the first time you stayed over as well….he was only five at the time, Alex was six and I was seven…"

Ed leaned forward, but not before he saw the glare that Roy gave him for being so interested in his displeasure.
