I'm, once again, so sorry for my internet being down. I have been working on this fan-fic, but my efforts aren't shown… STUPID INTERNET!

Chapter 3

Ed turned around just in time to see a giant figure collapse on him.

"Edward Elric! It's been so long!" cried Armstrong, hugging Ed to the point that he was sure his back had snapped.

"G-good to see you too, I guess…" Edward replied.

Armstrong flexed his muscles and said, "Oh, that reminds me! The Colonel is having a meeting in our room at 7:30. He asked me to tell everyone he knew well, I suppose you would count."

"I guess." The boy replied, now irritated at the thought of sitting in the same room as Mustang for an hour. He just flat-out hated that bastard.

"Shall I inform him that you're coming?" Armstrong asked.

"Sure…" Ed replied uncertainly. With that the giant, Gorilla of a man walked towards the stairs. He sighed and continued his pointless circles. He had an hour until he had to see the colonel, which was actually a long time. What could he possibly do while he was waiting?

"THERE YOU ARE!" Came a very angry voice out of no where. Ed spun around to see who it was. Of course, It was none other than Winry, Al fallowing close behind her. "Where have you been, Ed!"

"I was…" He couldn't think of any good excuses right now. Winry sighed angrily. Then, remembering what Armstrong had said to him, added, "I have to go see the colonel soon."

Winry tilted her head to the side. "Oh really?" She said. "And why is that?" She asked.

"Ummm….." Armstrong hadn't exactly told him why.

"You just don't like me, do you?" Winry said, folding her arms.

Ed glanced at the clock. 7:15, shit! (A/N; Yes, time moves so quickly right now!) "It doesn't really matter! I need to go!" He said running towards the stairs. This is the way Armstrong went? Right?

"Gya! Ed, wait!" Winry called after Ed. Too bad for her, he was already halfway down the stairs.

--Nope. Nothing but a break…--

Mustang sat in a chair in the middle of the room. He looked around at the people assembled in the room. Okay, who decided to show up? He thought, Havoc, Fuery, Breda, Falman, Riza… Hey wait! Where the hell is Fullmetal? He stood up angrly, glaring at everyone.

"Is something wrong, sir?" Havoc asked, looking up.

"I should've known. Of all the people!" Roy growled.

"Excuse me sir?" Fuery said, confused.

"I'm sure he'll come, sir." Riza said, before Mustang could reply.

There was a knock on the door. Everyone turned to look to see drum roll Major Armstrong standing in the door!

"Hello friends! Sorry I'm late, but I just informed Mr. Elric of our meeting!" Armstrong said, Sparkles floating around him.

"That would explain his absence, sir." Falman said to Roy. Roy just scowled.

"Well, I'm gonna have to start the meeting, with or without Ed." Mustang announced.

"Wait! Sir, I have a question!" Fuery said, raising a hand.

"WHAT IS IT FUERY!" Roy was getting impatient now.

" Well, it's just… Why is it is important that Ed is here?"

"Because, I called this meeting to discus the sighting of a humonculus." Roy said glaring. "They're here on this boat.

To be continued…

So, yeah. Chapter 3. Once the boat starts to sink, I've got it pretty much planned. Yes, that means MORE UPDATES! CELEBRATE! But that's when the boat starts to sink, until then review and don't turn homicidal on me!
