Sorry my stories are so freaking short. I don't have time to write longer ones! crys I'm in school now and it sux like all hell broke loose. Oh! i didn't put a disclaimer in my other chapter sooo...
Disclaimer- I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, or it's characters. Though I will someday... Edo-kun and Alu-kun will be mine! Mwahahahahahahahaha! Oops! Was that said out loud?
"What! My sons!" said the man who was apparently Hohenhiem. He looked over at the two boys. "What the hell are you talking about Havoc!" yelled Ed. "Ed calm down." Said Al. "Is this really true, Colonel? Is this man really our father?" asked Al innocently. "Yes." Said Havoc, as he straightened the papers on his desk. "You all can get to know each other more on the way to Albatross." "humph." Was all Ed said but in his mind he thought. Right. Like I'd want to get to know that bastard! He's been out of our lives for how long? And it was his fault mom died! Damn him. "Is there a problem with this arrangement Ed?" asked Havoc. "Yeah." He said quietly. "Well deal with it. Your father is also looking for the Stone. Plus I didn't arrange this. Mustang did." Hohenhiem just sat quietly trying to take this all in. "What! Mustang! Dammit! Why the hell'd he do that!" yelled Ed in anger. "I don't have a clue Ed."
There was an awkward silence. Then Al said, "I think we should get going." "You're right Al. Let's go." said Ed. "You cumin?" he said looking at Hohenhiem. "Of course."
Winry decided she'd go with them. They would rent a hotel room and wait there for the men to get back.
"So…. You're Ed and Al's father?" "Yup that's right young lady."
"So, where have you been all of our lives... dad?" Asked Ed. Al was very quiet. "I've been looking for the Philosophers Stone. And I've been into philosophy. I became an alchemist to support you boys and your mother. Oh that reminds me. How is Trisha doing? Without you boys around she must be very lonely." There was a long silence. "She died" said Al quietly. At this Hohenhiem looked very disturbed. "How?" "She went into depression and fell ill. She never told anybody. Not even us. She got depressed because you left. She loved you so much. Didn't you get the letters we sent you? We told you to come home when she was on bed rest. When the doctor said there was no hope for her to live. You didn't even come to her funeral! You never there when we needed you! So why should I start to like you now, when you finally show up! Huh! Tell me that Hohenhiem!" Ed's voice was soft when he was explaining the death of there mother but his voice got angry when he was telling his father off for never being there.
There was silence again. "So now I see what you boys did. WhyAl is in the armor. A boy his age shouldn't be large enough to fit into that. So you tried human alchemy which is strictly against the laws of alchemy. So Al lost his body. But more should have been taken. What else did you boys lose?" "Ed lost a leg and sacrificed his arm to put me in this armor." Said Alphonse, sadly. "I just wish I would have listened to Al. He was right we shouldn't have done the transmutation. And I'm doing all I can to find the Stone so that Al could finally have his body back." "And brother, we have to fix you to." "Right Al." the brothers conversed.
Hohenhiem decided to change the subject. "So Ed, how exactly were you able to get into the military? I mean, why would they let a i kid into the military." "Well… you see I actually can do alchemy without a transmutation circle. All I have to do is…" he stopped and showed Hohenhiem by making a flower. "Incredible" was the only word Hohenhiem could think of for what he saw. They must have inherited my skills on alchemy! I'm so proud! thought the full- of- himself older man.
Ed picked up the flower and gave it to Winry. He blushed just a little. She was just speechless. The only words she could muster were "Thanks Ed" She put the flower in her hair. Wow she's beautiful thought Ed. Then he realized what he was thinking and shook it of Winry's been my friend for as long as I can remember. And even if I do like her; she would never like me the same way I do her thought Ed miserably. Does Ed like me? Thought Winry. I hope he does she thought smiling.
"Miss; may I ask who you are? We didn't have a proper introduction."
"Oh! I'm Winry Rockbell. I'm an automailist. I was the one who did Ed's automail."
"Hmm… You wouldn't happen to be Sara Rockbell's daughter would you?"
"Uh-Huh"
Well it' nice to see you after all these years. Last time I saw you, you were still just an infant."
"Well I'm the same age as Ed so I guess, you would have."
"How are your parents and grandmother?"
Silence; then; "My parents dead. They were killed in the Ishbal Massacre. Even though they were just surgeons, they were killed because they helped both sides. My grandmother then took care of me. Yeah she's still living."
"Oh. I'm sorry I don't mean to bring up terrible subjects like these. I'm sorry." Hoheniem said miserably.
