Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist...or Monopoly

A/N I discovered that somebody already wrote a monopoly story about two days after I wrote this chapter...but I decided to go ahead with it anyway. Completely different characters, though...so I'm not plagarizing! This takes place right after Wrath hooks up with Sloth and Envy (which is around the 32nd episode) and they go on their merry way to see Dante

Envy: OH yes, Dante...what a lovely visit that will be.

Kari: Shut up, or I'll make sure you lose to Wrath

(Wrath climbs on lap)

Wrath: Can I have a cookie?

Kari: How about...cream soda?

(Envy pouts)

"Envy," sang Wrath. "Envy, Envy, Envy, Envy!"

"What?" mumbled Envy, his face buried in a book.

"Will you play a game with me?"

"…NO."

"PLEASE!"

Sloth had gone out for…something, and abandoned the newly-created Wrath with Envy.

"I SAID NO!"

"Please?"

Wrath was hanging upside-down from the ceiling inches from Envy's face. He swung back and forth, punching the elder sin's shoulder lightly. Without taking his gave from the book Envy swatted him across the face so hard that Wrath lost his grip on the ceiling and fell. He flipped himself in midair like a cat and landed with all fours on the ground…but he didn't stay there for long. He sprang from one end of the room to the other, landing on top of the wardrobe, knocking over chairs, bouncing on the bed, balancing on the lamp with one hand. Envy didn't even blink.

"No." he replied, turning a page.

Wrath suspended himself from the curtains and put his face in Envy's.

"PLAY WITH ME!" he screamed.

Envy finally looked at him. With a sigh, he tossed his book into the corner and surveyed Wrath with his usual wicked grin.

"Alright," he said. "What do you want to play?" He hoped fervantly that Wrath would want to blow something up, or maim a few humans, or hunt the Elrics—something, anything that would help him relieve the stress of babysitting Wrath.

Wrath looked shocked. "Um…I don't know."

"Well," Envy seized Wrath's shirt and pulled, bringing the curtains down with him. "Pick something, or I'll decide for you."

Wrath shuddered. Envy's games were no fun.

"M…m…monopoly!" Wrath stuttered finally.

Envy blinked, taken aback. "What the hell is monopoly?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Monopoly!" Wrath said, gesturing happily to the board, as if that explained it all.

Envy picked up the little metal thimble and examined it. "And what do we do, exactly?"

"Well, we go around the board and buy as much property as we can. If you land on another players spot, you have to pay them rent."

"Why?"

"That's how the game goes."

"What if I don't want to pay you rent?"

"SHUT UP!" Wrath screamed. "Let me explain the game!"

Envy chuckled at his outburst.

"Whne you pass 'GO', you get $200. You can land on chance cards and the community chest, and you draw a card and do what is says. The first person to run out of money loses."

"This is the most ridiculous bunch of crap I've ever seen." Envy snarled, folding his arms over his barely clothed chest. "And I've seen a lot of crap in my four centuries. Like Greed."

"If you don't play, I'll tell Mommy you were mean to me." Wrath threatened.

"So!" Envy laughed. "Sloth can't do anything to me."

Wrath struggled to find a better threat. "I'll tell the others you sleep with a stuffed penguin!"

Envy gasped. "You wouldn't dare!"

Wrath grinned; he had Envy cornered, he was going to get his way!

"Fine," Envy pouted. "I'll play!"

Next chapter: The game gets going. Envy is the banker...but will he stay that way for long? Wrath takes control of the board and begins to dominate the game, but Envy can't stand for that! Will it come to blows? And what's wrong with the Chance cards?

A/N: I made up the stuff about Envy sleeping with a stuffed penguin

Envy: Good!...cuz I don't!

Wrath: I like cream soda, can I have more cream soda?

Envy: NO! DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM! He doesn't need more sugar!

Wrath: You can never have too much sugar!

(they fight over the bottle)

Kari:...it's gonna be a long summer...
