Chapter-1 The Assignment

Okay, please do forgive me 4 the shortness of this chapter. As there will be longer ones! Promise:) Anywho, I'm a major FMA fan, and I couldn't resist writing this story after so many ideas! :D But before we start, there are 2-characters I'd like 2 point out that are MINE!

Elizabeth Mae Flagstaff, and Professor Jason Flagstaff. As 4 everyone else, eh, I don't own 'em:) Now, on 2 the fic!

It was a crisp, cloudless evening near the Alchemist Army's location, and as of now, Riza, Hughes, Armstrong, Roy, Ed, and Al were all gathered in the boardroom, for an important meeting. Which they'd actually been discussing for quite some time.

"Brother, why did they call us all here?" Al asked, as he totted his head over little ways to face his tired brother.

"I dunno. But I'll bet anything it has to do with our punishment." Ed replied, looking over towards the front of the room as Riza stood up with a rather hefty looking stack of papers.

"Alright Edward, Alfonse. As of last week, you're punishment was to be, execution, but, rather than loosing you two, we have all decided, to give you two, a second chance." She began, as she paced slowly back and forth in front of the window.

"What?" Ed stammered slowly to himself. Riza nodded once before getting back to her speech.

"Well, don't think we're letting you off that easily. What we have in mind, is a punishment. For, if you fail to complete it, you will be executed, indefinitely." Riza finished as she sat back down, and signaled for Roy to take the stand. (God, now I'm sounding like a fricken court room.)

"Yes. We all know of Professor Jason Flagstaff. The man who founded an equipped the Alchemist Army. Well, he has a granddaughter, Elizabeth. And what we need you to do, is guard her, for one month during her stay here, without her being harmed." Roy began as Ed scoffed.

"So, you want us to be some scared little girl's bodyguard for a month. Piece of cake!" Ed stated, leaning back into his chair.

Meanwhile, from across the table, Armstrong chuckled in his deep bass voice as he toyed with his moustache.

"Well, this is no easy task." He stated simply as Roy nodded and continued.

"Yes, and this will be very tough for you, as Elizabeth is enemy to many others, such as Lust, and Envy. Especially Envy. And if he gets his hands on her, he'll kill her without hesitation. And Elizabeth isn't an easy person to bond with either." Roy finished.

"So, are you willing to take thins assignment, or face the reserved consequence?" Riza asked, standing back up, as Ed stood up as well, and shook Riza's hand.

"We'll do it." Ed finished as Roy handed him a paper on when to pick the girl up the next day.

As the two brothers left the board room, Al gave an unsure look to his brother.

"Ed, um, are you sure this is such a good idea?" Al asked as Ed stuff the paper into the pocket of his red jacket.

"Sure, I mean, it beats dying. And besides, how hard can it be, we've stopped Envy before, right?" Ed replied, in a more relaxed tone, trying to reassure his brother.

But even though they thought it be easy, in reality, they had no idea.

"AN-Yeah, kinda short and boring. But hey, it'll help you understand the fic better as we go along! And PLEEEEEEEEEESE REVIEW! And if u do review. (which I know u will!) u can send me requests, and if they're good enough 4 me 2 work with, I'd be happy 2 put them in! :D
