Oh, I'm so happy to get so many reviews! Thank you all so much! Here's the next chapter!

As Ed traveled down the road to Central, he had time to pander his situation. What was this "special event" in Central? Why would the Fuhrer change the standard military uniform to a miniskirt? He didn't seem like he'd do something that ridiculous.

"It sounds like something that the Colonel would do…"

Ed stopped dead in his tracks as a new thought struck him. What if Mustang, in this screwed up place, was the Fuhrer?

"No…that can't be possible…can it?" Ed wondered.

He was now extremely apprehensive about going to Central but he knew he had no choice. So he forced himself to continue onward. It didn't take long for him to exit the forest and see Central in the distance.

"Going to Central after all I see." A familiar voice said, close by.

Ed glanced to his right and saw Lust was walking next to him.

"Yeah, what's it to you?" he said.

"I knew you would. All roads lead to Central." Lust replied.

"What does that mean exactly?" Ed asked.

Lust smiled and said, "It means exactly what it sounds like."

They walked on in silence for awhile, until Lust spoke up again.

"I'll bet you're wondering about that "special event" right?"

Ed, who had been thinking exactly that, said, "No."

"Well, you'll find out what that's all about regardless of whether or not you care. Maybe I'll see you there."

Ed, who had been watching the road ahead of him intently, ignoring Lust, looked over at her only to discover she had disappeared. A cold feeling washed over him. The homunculi made him feel uneasy and she had seemed like she was trying to tell him something…

All of these conflicting thoughts were driven from his mind as he saw he had arrived in Central. As he walked into the city limits he noticed something very strange. Several paths were leading away from Central with a sign marking each one. The one nearest to him said: Bizarre Room. Another, not far from the first, read: Lotus Forest (Beware Alex and Louis). Yet another said: Al and Winry's Cottage. Ed read sign after sign each pointing to a place he'd already been. Izumi and Sig's House. Hughes Residence. Even one that lead to the Forest Library Desk.

"All roads lead to Central…" Ed muttered to himself, running a hand over one sign.

If Central was his ticket out of this place, had he really been so close? Could he have, at any time, just left the main path and made it to Central? There was only one way to find out. He had to see the Fuhrer, whoever he may be.

As Ed walked through Central City, the strangest sight yet met his eyes. Everything was…normal. It was as if Ed had somehow stepped back into reality. There was a couple as they left a jewelry shop, and a small boy and his grandmother looking at toys displayed in a window. Not getting his hopes up, he went straight to Central HQ and saw proof that he was still stuck. Everyone, that he could see, was dressed in military miniskirts and all were female. There was not a single male soldier to be seen anywhere on the premises. In fact, a large group of men were avidly watching the women from behind the large metal fence that surrounded HQ. Some of the women were looking away, embarrassed, while others were flaunting what they had to offer, causing some men to get a nosebleed. Ed rolled his eyes at this display of human idiocy and entered the main building. He made his way to the Fuhrer's office, and got a few stares. This all woman military hadn't seen a male soldier in quite awhile and were wondering what he was doing here. Soon, Ed had a small crowd following him to the Fuhrer's office.

He had expected to see the Fuhrer's secretary sitting at her desk, but a different woman was there. Her uniform was even more provocative then most. Her skirt was slightly shorter then even the tiny miniskirts the others were wearing, and her shirt was altered down to show off her impressive décolletage. Her hear was wavy blond and her nails bright red. She looked up at Ed as he approached.

"Yes sir? How may I help you?"

"I have to see the Fuhrer." Ed said. "It's an emergency."

"I'm sorry, but the Fuhrer is very busy right now." She said, leaning forward. "You'll have to come at another time."

"I'm telling you I have to see him now!" Ed replied.

"And I'm telling you, that it's not possible." She said, breathing deeply. "Come back later."

Most men would have been reduced to a pile of goop at the way this woman was staring, her bosom heaving with every breath. But Ed was not to be denied, and ignored her little games.

He pulled out his watch and said, "Will this let me see him?"

The women surrounding him all gasped and began to whisper. A man in the military? Impossible! The secretary verified the watch and pressed a button on her intercom.

"Excuse me sir, but there's a State Alchemist here to see you."

Everyone waited to see if the Fuhrer would let him in…

No voice came from the small box, but the door swung open. The whispers erupted around the room once again. Ed was prepared for whoever he faced on the other side of that door. He boldly entered the room and the door swung shut behind him. Ed took no notice of the hundreds of books in the Fuhrer's office. His focus was aimed directly at a chair that was turned around, hiding whoever was sitting in it.

"Excuse me, Fuhrer?" Ed began.

Whoever was in the chair didn't say anything. Ed walked forward to the desk and said, "Excuse me." again.

The chair slowly turned around and all of Ed's fears were confirmed.

Colonel Roy Mustang, now Fuhrer King Mustang, was staring intently at him.

Ending Note: I decided to end this one on a Cliff Hanger. I'll try to get the next part of quickly so you won't have to wonder what Roy's "special event" is.
