Today Ed was the first one to wake up. The sunlight was streaming through the window, and that was what had awoken him. He was lying on the floor with Samantha in his arms, her long blonde hair covering her face. He smiled and gently removed his arms, put the blanket over her and went over to the window. The morning was fresh, the sunlight playing across the street, making little shadows.

"Brother," said Al from behind him. He jumped, having not heard him coming. "It's a beautiful day. We need to get some serious research done though, we didn't get any yesterday." Al cast a look back to the girls sleeping peacefully in the room. "Do you really love her brother? She seems really nice, and I just don't want her getting hurt."

Ed laughed, "Sometimes it's hard to believe you're the younger brother Al." Al smiled at his brother's comment.

"Morning," said Samantha, standing behind them. "Al, you do know you are loud." She laughed softly and looked out over the city.

"What time is it?"

"It's around…" Ed checked his pocket watch. "Seven o'clock."

"We need to get to the library to get some work done. Otherwise you guys are just going to be researching for the rest of your lives." She began to braid her hair, yawning while she did.

"Wake up Lexi and we'll get going." Said Samantha, turning around and walking back into the room. But this proved harder then it looked, this girl could sleep through anything. After thirty minutes of banging and crashing Ed got smart and bumped a bucket of ice water on her head.

"WHAT the…?" Began Lexi, sitting bolt upright and rubbing sleep from her eyes.

Everyone was laughing as she stood up and mopped her face with a towel. "This better be good," she began, tossing the towel playfully at Al.

"We need to get some more research done," said Ed, grabbing his jacket and opening the door. She groaned and followed Al out the door.

They walked to the library in silence, most being too sleepy to do so. They walked in, grabbed as many books as they could and sat down at their usual table. "Can we research outside?" Asked Al, looking wistfully out the window. Lexi nodded fervently, and looked hopefully at the window.

Ed shrugged and grabbed an armful of books. "Why not, it's nice out."

Samantha, Lexi and Al quickly grabbed books and ran out of the stuffy library. Ed followed them somewhat less enthusiastically. They stopped under a tree at the park, overlooking the pond lake thing leading out of Central. They sat down beneath its shady branches and opened the books. Ed sat next to Samantha and put his arm around her, trying to read the book in her lap.

"Ed, I'm trying to work," she said with a smile pushing him away.

"Fine. I'll just go sulk in a corner." Said Ed, and moved himself away from everyone else.

Al and Lexi laughed and went back to their researching.

Ed walked back to Samantha and tried to kiss her on the neck, while reading the notes she had been taking.

Ed succeeded in kissing her, and taking the notes from her, and in getting himself punched in the stomach.

"Ed we have work to do. I don't care if I'm your girlfriend you need to get something done."

Al laughed at the look on his brother's face and went back to his research.

"So let's see what you wrote." He said holding the notes out at arms length so she had to lean over him to grab them. "Ahem, Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving up something of equal value in return to obtain, something of equal value must me given, that is the first law of Equivalent Exchange. Human Transmutation is forbidden, but why? Human emotions only exist in the mind, love, truth, loyalty are all lies."

He dropped the paper and turned to look to Samantha who was sitting against the tree. "Is this what you think? That emotions are all lies? Is this a lie!" He held out his left arm made of metal. "Look. I did this because of love and you want to tell me this is a lie! That I spilled my brother's blood for nothing! That I shattered his chance to live a normal life for a LIE!" Samantha turned around and looked him square in the eye.

"If you knew my life, you would know why I say the things I do." She said simply, and walked away in the direction of the dorms.

Ed turned to Lexi, "Well?" He said expectantly.

She sighed, "Her mother left her as a baby. She grew up with her father until he was killed for being the only one who did the right thing. Her father was in the military, Lieutenant Colonel. She left for a university with me not long after."

Ed groaned and clapped a hand to his head. "I am such an idiot! I can never say anything right around her!" He ran after her, calling himself an idiot the whole time.

Samantha finally stopped in front of a coffee shop, panting and fighting back tears. She sat down with her back to the wall in the alleyway. She shut her eyes and tried to remember her father. He had been killed in action for being the only one how did the right thing. A single tear leaked out of her eye and rolled down her face.

"Hey," said a voice. She brushed away her tear and looked up. A blonde boy smiled down at her, his golden eyes sad.

"Hi Ed," she said, averting her gaze.

"I didn't know, and I'm sorry." He said, sitting down next to her. "I guess great minds come from dysfunctional families." Ed pulled her into a hug, her head on his shoulder.

"You're great at making me feel better." She said with a smile. "And I don't think I ever want to go back." She let go and stood up, pulling Ed up with her. "Let's go, no matter what we STILL need to do some work."

He nodded and followed her back to the park. Lexi gave him a sympathetic look before he sat down. They worked in silence for about an hour until a figure began to walk towards them.

"Oh shit." Said Ed, cowering behind Samantha. "It's Winry Al, hide me!" He sounded so desperate and scared that Samantha stood up dragging him with her.

"Just talk to her," she said, pushing him in front of her with a slight smirk.

Winry walked right up to Ed and slapped him. "You've know me your whole life, and you've known her for one week! Who's it gonna be, me or her?" She tapped her foot expectantly.

Ed blushed slightly and looked over at Al and Lexi who were nodding at him eagerly, and Samantha, blonde hair in a crazy braid, his pants hanging off her thin frame.

"Her Winry. I'm sorry, but she kisses much better then you do."

We take a small break now where Winry says some very mean things and Ed is brought back to the room all bruised and banged up. We'll begin right there then shall we? Ahem… licks thumb and flips page

Ed groaned as he was set down on the bed by his younger brother. "Wow Ed, she got you pretty good," said Lexi, laughing as she went to the fridge to get an ice pack. Ed moaned again, lifting up his shirt to see the extent of his injuries. He was black and blue everywhere, and was bleeding on his side.

"Here Ed," said Samantha coming over with some antiseptic and bandages. Ed winced as she began cleaning his cut. "Stop being a baby," she said as a bandage was places over another cut.

Lexi and Al sat down on the couch together, deeply immersed in a conversation about the book they had just finished, while Ed and Samantha sat on the bed in silence. Suddenly Samantha stood up. "Come on Ed, I've come to the decision that we need to have a party."

"A WHAT!" Said Ed, jumping up, "Last time we had one of those Havoc was thrown half naked into a pool and left there!" Samantha laughed and looked over at Lexi and Al.

"You two coming?" She asked, neither of them responded, being too wrapped up in their conversation. "Guess not," she said, pulling Ed out of the door. She led him first to Roy's room and banged on the door. A very agitated Colonel opened the door, but brightened at the idea of a party. They proceeded to go down the row of dorm room doors telling everyone about the party, Ed grumbling the whole time.

At last, having told enough people, Samantha led Ed towards a pool where the party was to be held. "Great. A pool party," he said sulkily. He looked at the gates to find them locked. "Oops, I guess we can't have a party," but Samantha was already over the fence before he could blink.

"Come on Ed, what are you chicken?" She laughed as Ed tried to climb the gate. "A short chicken too!"

Ed snapped at being called short, vaulted the gate and grabbing her by the waist and tossed her into the deep end of the pool. "Okay Ed, ha ha ha. No help me out," she held out her hand for Ed to grab. He did, and fell prey to the oldest trick ever, being pulled into the pool. He coughed and spluttered, and climbed back onto land looking like a drowned rat.

"Look at the FullMetal shrimp," said a voice from above him. He looked up to see his least favorite, girlfriend stealing, procrastinating Colonel. "He actually fell for the 'help me up' trick. What a loon." Samantha laughed as Ed began to yell empty threats at the Colonel.

"Well, I guess we're all of the party," said Havoc, lighting a cigarette and inhaling the smoke deeply.

"I guess so," said Riza from behind Roy.

"I thought you hated the water?" Said Furey with a questioning look at her.

"Someone needs to make sure that when these two get drunk they don't get themselves drowned like last time." She said with a meaningful look at Havoc.

"I had one beer!" He said with a smirk, "And I did nothing to those women."

"You used the worst pickup lines ever on them while you were drunk Havoc! I think that's enough to get you thrown into a pool."

Samantha and Ed laughed as Havoc blushed furiously.

"Well FullMetal Shrimp aren't you and your girlfriend going to swim? After all this is a pool party." Said Roy with a mischievous grin on his face.

Ed smiled at Samantha, then grabbed her by the waist and jumped into the pool, dousing them all with water. They came up from the water locked in a fierce kiss, with yells and cheers from the shore. Ed smiled at Samantha as they pulled apart, "Well, I guess this means you'll have to borrow another pair of pants."

They walked back to the room in the growing darkness, dripping water everywhere.

"It's hard to believe I've only been here about four days," said Samantha as they rounded a corner leading to the dorms.

Ed nodded and smiled devilishly, "I'll race you back," he said and took off running to the dorms. They raced neck and neck until they go to the room. Panting Ed opened the door.

The room was dark, and they could see the dim outline of Lexi curled up in Al's arms on the couch. "My little brothers in love," said Ed with a smile. Samantha nodded and walked over to the closet where she took out a pair of pants and a black shirt.

"Turn around Ed," she said as she prepared to change. His eyes widened to sad puppy dog eyes. "Ed…get those thoughts out of your head." Said Samantha, throwing a shoe at him. He ducked and turned around, a flush creeping up his neck. Once she had changed she walked over to him and trailed her fingers up his neck. She felt him shiver, and laughed softly.

"Goodnight Ed," she said, walking over to the bed and crawling under the covers. He smiled slightly and pulled off his sopping shirt.

"Are you sure you don't want me to join you?"

She threw the pillow at him, and he caught it in time to hear a knock on the door. Ed walked over to the door and opened it, shielding his eyes at the light. In the doorway stood Havoc, Roy and Furey.

"Umm Edward, well Maes and Armstrong are having a party in our rooms and Hawkeye locked us out so is it okay if we sleep here?" Asked Furey, looking desperately down the hallway. Ed nodded, knowing how bad those two could be, and opened the door. The three men filed in, grabbing blankets and pillows from the closet. By the time they had all laid out, there was no floor space left for Ed. He smiled at Samantha, who groaned and moved over in the bed so he could lie down.

"Edward…." Said Roy, sitting up from his spot on the floor. "Are you sure we don't need the talk about…."

"GOODNIGHT Colonel, and remember that this is my room, and I'm saving you from Maes and Armstrong. Don't tell me what I can and can't do." Ed turned over and put his arms around Samantha, trailing his fingers down her spine and neck. She shoved a pillow in his face.

"Goodnight Ed," she said softly, her eyelids fluttering.

"Goodnight."
