Roy: FULLMETAL! YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO EXPLAIN WHATS WRONG!

Ed: I ain't tellin you nothin! Roy slips on his gloves as Erin and Amanda rush in to stop him

Erin: ED! THE DISCLAIMER!

Ed: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST AND ALL RELATED CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, AND OBJECTS ARE NOT OWNED BY EITHER OF THE FAN FICTION AUTHORS! runs from Roy while Erin and Amanda hold him down

Amanda: Why can't we have a normal disclaimer?

Erin: Cause then it'd never be fun.

"She has a fever. It's going through the roof and nothing we've done so far has stopped or slowed it. She thinks that…that….that she's going to die." Ed answered in a whisper. Riza walked up to the shopkeeper as Roy's eyes grew dark.

"We need that Chimeran Root we ordered, Annabelle." She said, stealing a glance at Roy. "Now." Annabelle nodded and went into the back room as Roy let go of Ed's shirt, his eyes dark. The shopkeeper soon returned with the needed plant and the three left for Sakura's apartment, where the young girl lay on the bed, covered in sweat and Al unsure of what to do as he sat on the floor, the mystery Lt sitting on the couch and wringing his hands. Al jumped up at the sight of the three.

"Brother! Lt. Hawkeye, Colonel Mustang! What are you…?" But it trailed off as Roy unscrewed the bottle containing the plant while Riza dug up a mortar and pestle and sat down at the table. Working together, the two mashed the plant until it resembled mushed banana. At that point, Roy walked over to where Sakura lay, but the girl rolled away from him. The mystery Lt stood up and walked over to the two, taking the mortar from Roy's hands.

"Let me try." He said, deep voice rumbling as he climbed in beside the girl. He took her into his firm embrace and, after taking some of the root into his own mouth, pressed his lips to hers and forced the stuff down her throat.

"What was that stuff!" Sakura said as she pushed the mystery Lieutenant away from her and knocked the mortar and mushed up Chimeran root onto the floor.

"It seemed the only way to get you to take the medicine to bring your fever down, and seems that it wasn't the only thing that helped to bring that fever down," the mystery Lieutenant said as he placed his hand to Sakura's forehead and she blushed at the contact.

Roy watched on the side as Sakura let the mystery Lieutenant brush her forehead and tell her what was happening; Sakura was in shock and started to blush harder when he told her that she was being hard to deal with when it came to Roy trying to give her the medicine. She leaped out of bed and bowed before Roy.

"Colonel Mustang, I'm truly sorry for being so hard with you, I apologize greatly for any disrespect that I may have caused you," Sakura said as she continuously bowed in front of the Colonel.

It took all of Roy's pride and ego not to lose it in front Sakura and especially in front of Lt. Hawkeye and the pain in his posterior was starting to get to him as he stood, painfully in front of Sakura, waving her off to get back into bed as he prepared to leave her apartment with a less then pleasant Ed standing watch over Sakura, from the corner.

"Edward, may I speak with you?" Roy asked as he waved over to him and as he motioned for Lt. Hawkeye to stand outside and wait for him.

"What is Mustang? I'm kind of busy watching over the girl that you've put into our charge," Ed asked angrily as he watched the mystery Lieutenant talking with Sakura as she sat on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her.

"Why didn't do you tell me about Sakura falling ill? You could have told me if something was wrong with her….you don't have to hold anything back from me and I want to know if anything is going on!" Roy said as he held his backside as the pain in his butt was starting to get to him.

Roy was in full contact pain as the pain in his butt was starting to get worse with each passing second as he tried his hardest not to show his pain in front Ed, but the pain was becoming to painful to bear as he walked out of the apartment and found Lt. Hawkeye in the car and he slowly and painfully moved to the car.

"Edward, I want to see you in my office tomorrow, also I want to speak to Lt. Sakura as well," Roy shouted out the car window through the rain.

"Sure thing Colonel," Ed shouted as he saluted the Colonel as he watched the Colonel and Lt. pulling away.

"Ummm, thanks for watching over me Ed, Al," She nodded to each of them in turn, "You can go home, if you want. Lt Thompson" she motioned to the mystery Lt, "can take care of me, alright?" She smiled widely at the two, and they could help but obey, leaving Sakura alone with the still disguised Envy. Her blush increased when she realized just how close they were, "Thanks." She said softly, scooting closer to Envy. "I was just wondering," she leaned her head on his shoulder, "where is Maes? If Roy was here, I'm sure that Maes would have been here too."

Ed and Al walked down the wet sidewalk of East City as they walked back towards temporary dorms that had been set up for the boys on their visits to East City Headquarters, but as Ed got further and further down the street with Al, the silence became unbearable as Al spoke up to break the silence.

"Brother, should we really leave Lt. Sakura alone with Lt. Thompson?" Al asked as he lagged behind his brother.

"What are you talking about Al? She didn't want us there so we do as were told, no questions asked," Ed said cockily as he placed his hands behind his head as he enjoyed the rain.

"You do know that Lt. Thompson isn't human, right?" Al asked once again as he tried to get the point the across that leaving her alone with a Homunculi may not be the best thing in the world to do.

"What are you talking about Al? You think that I'm putting her in harms way by not staying and making sure that he doesn't hurt her?" Ed asked as his paced started to slow and his mannerisms started to change as his anger rose.

"I'm just saying, that if Lt. Thompson is truly Envy, don't you think that with the history we've had with running into the Homunculi that maybe…." Al said as he watched the light bulb flashing above his brother's head as reality set in.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING UNTIL NOW AL!" Ed shouted as he took off on a dead run back towards Lt. Sakura's apartment.

"Why do I state the obvious?" Al asked himself as he ran after his angry brother as he saw that Ed was prepared to beat the living crap out of Lt. Thompson.

Until next time….
