Well, I finally got off my lazy streak and started this chapter. Actually I had about 1 page and ½ of this written but hated it, so I scrapped it and started over.

(Ed's POV):

"Say what, Fullmetal?"

Apparently I wasn't the only one who believed this was impossible.

"I think…I created a homunculus."

"And how would you do that?" Mustang asked, giving me a searching look, I chose to ignore.

"The Stone…acted on it's own." That was my best explanation, without trying to explain Truth. "The Gate had it's own agenda…I guess…Hey! I don't want to believe it either!"

"Are you certain it wasn't a miscalculation?"

"Yes." I wasn't happy to be talked down to, and doubted if this was the smartest course of action. "I did my research, as you damn well know! It took me Almost 4 years to get that research!"

"So why did you come to me with this?"

This is going to be one hell of a conversation.

(3 rd Person.)

Ellie woke up in the middle of the night again. This was happening to her a lot lately. Though the dreams got realer and realer.(A/N: Is Realer even a word?) Though as soon as she woke they disappeared she couldn't remember a single detail. By now, this was starting to leave Ellie edgy. That was why she spent so much time on her own; she would have moments when she would be unbelievingly angry or restless.

Something was wrong with her. She knew that much. Something was very, very wrong.

Ellie only needed to know what.

(Al's POV.)

Things got busy for a while. Winry was going back to Rush Valley, Brother was coming home. So or a few days, Ellie was forgotten…though it still makes me feel guilty to think that I had forgotten her.

Part of me couldn't help think that Ellie didn't want to be bothered. She would go for hours, without a word. More then once she left in the morning and didn't come back until late. I was worried. Something was distressing about the behavior.

The one time I checked on her while she was sleeping, Ellie didn't look peaceful. More like she was having a bad dream or really sick. I would have to Tell Brother about it as soon as he got back.

(3 rd person.)

As soon as Ellie got up she left, after pulling on some clothes. Against Ellie's wishes, Winry had decided Ed's old clothes just did not suit Ellie. So now Ellie had her own, though they didn't look much different then Ed's. Minus the Bright Red Jacket, in fact Ellie's Clothes really lacked any color at all. She hoped to be unnoticed. She didn't quite manage it.

"Going somewhere?"

"A Walk." Ellie told Pinako. "I need to clear my head."

Ellie knew that Pinako wasn't finished, only taking a moment to think what she was going to say.

"You've been doing that a lot lately, missy."

"Yeah, I have…a lot to think about." Ellie sidestepped. "Ed's supposed to back today right?"

"Yeah."

"Right." Ellie had a feeling that it was only going to lead to a shouting match, but there were a few things she had to ask. Important things. "I'll try to be back soon."

"Try to make breakfast, a kid your age shouldn't go skipping meals."

Ellie sighed mentally, managed a grin and set off. That had been a polite way of saying someone her size didn't need to miss meals. Ellie knew it was true, but lately she was too busy thinking to notice.

Right now, she desperately needed to remember her dreams. They were important; Ellie had a feeling of as much. It had something to do with what Truth had told her. How she was a deterrent, but also something else…something Ellie couldn't quite grasp.

Ellie clenched her hands at her sides, glaring at the ground; it was really, really, starting to piss her off.

Sorry, It's short, but I want to start the next chapter a certain way, and I really just don't really want to work on this anymore tonight.(I'm lazy.) Reviews are helpful, that way I know what people like or don't like about my writing. Ellie's parts are third person, as I don't really want to do hers first person,( I've confused myself…anyway..) I hope that the reason is cleared up in the next couple of chaps. Sincers.
