Sorry it took so long. My dad was in the hospital again and I had no internet access. When I finally had time for something, it turned out that I had to babysit 5 terrible kids all night. I already went to D.C. and I think I found some inspiration there because I have ideas for both fics. Oh and I'm warning you now, theres a lot of run-on sentences ahead.


Sidney hadn't been thinking about the possible reasons that Ed, Al, and Roy disappeared(and some of them were waay out there. she may have been an alchemist but the whole logical thinking thing didn't apply to her) for 5 minutes and her mind began to wander. ' I wonder what Ed is doing right now. Maybe he's...'Before she knew it, Sidney started to drift off into sleep.(Wow she sleeps a lot. She's kinda a lazy ass bastard at first glance isn't she? Like me!)

Pride looked through the window to the two story house, gazing at this mysterious girl in confusion. 'Why does this girl make me feel so weird? It's like I've known her my whole life but I know that I haven't. I need to know more about her.' Pride now sat on the window ledge, slowly making his way into Sidney's room. Despite all of the noise Pride made by getting in, the girl only slightly stirred in her sleep. He looked at this girl from all angles, taking in all of her physical features. Pride was confused as to what the girl was doing, for he knew nothing of sleep.' Is she dead? Her eyes are closed and she's just sitting there with her head on that desk so she must be dead. No wait, I can hear her breathing. What is she doing?'

"Ed, Al,Roy..." Sidney began to mumble in her sleep. Pride just stared at her in amazement. "no..don't...leave...me...here...NO!" Sidney shot up from her seat, panting heavily. She looking around her room, making sure that she was really in her room and not in some distant place like she was in her dream.(wow big run-on) As Sidney looked around, she spotted a huge person-like figure on her bed. Sidney gasped when she saw who this figure looked like.

"Ed?" Sidney mumbled so that it was barely audiable. The figure was rather short, maybe around 5ft give or take a few inches. This figure also had long, blonde hair that hung loosely arount its shoulders. Its eyes were of a golden color but instead of being filled with life and vigor, they were empty, sort of like a large void. There were strange red markings running down his whole body, forming the shape of what looked like a transmutation circle. But not just any circle, the circle used for human transmutation. When Sidney spotted the marking on his left shoulder, what little hope she had left was lost. 'The oroborous. Does that mean Ed's...no it can't be...not Ed...never. He would never become the thing he hates most.'

"Who...are...you?" The figure spoke in a voice that was similar to Ed's. The only difference was that this voice was hollow and distant, with no emotion in it whatsoever.

Sidney remained silent.

"Who...are...you?" the voice repeated again, the same way as before.

Sidney's eyes were tear-filled from thinking of Ed and she found it hard to speak. No, Sidney wasn't going to let this...this...person...this...homunculus know that he scared her and caused her so much grief. She stood her ground.

Sidney spoke with a hint of fear in her voice.

"My..My name is Sidney...Who are you?"

It remained silent for a moment, which made Sidney feel really uncomfortable. He wasn't easy to talk to like Ed was.

When he spoke, he only uttered one word.

"...Pride."
