Disclaimer: I don't own FMA

I woke up, nice and rested. Thanks to that, my brain was able to turn on and start functioning a few seconds after I woke up. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, blinking a few times to really wake up.

I felt something on my stomach, so I turned my head up to see what was there. It was Frosty, and he was awake, because then his eyes opened and he looked at me. I stared back at him for a moment before remembering Frosty was Envy. I sighed as I looked back at Frosty. [a/n: I'm going to call Envy in his cat form Frosty, so don't get confused. Frosty is still Envy.]

"Geez, using me as a pillow," I muttered, shooing Frosty off the bed as I sat up and yawned, stretching my arms and running a hand through my hair.

"Well, I couldn't sleep anywhere else. You took up the rest of the bed," Frosty muttered, glaring at me as I stood up. A vein in my head bulged, but I fought the urge to kick Frosty across the room.

"Just shut up," I growled as I made my way over to my suitcase that sat on a small dresser. I opened it and looked through the clothes, pulling out a new outfit I had just gotten. I had gone shopping in Central, too, and had a few new nice outfits. The outfit I was going to wear were black knee-length men's shorts with lots of pockets, a navy blue tank top, and a thin black jacket. I started to unbutton my nightshirt when I realized Frosty was still in the room, staring at me.

"Get out," I said harshly, holding my nightshirt together as I tried to kick Frosty to the wall. He swiftly dodged, hissing at me as he landed gracefully on his feet.

"Why? It's not like there's anything to see, anyway," He sighed. I kicked him out the door before he could move out of the way.

"STUPID HEAD!" I called after him, slamming the door. I tromped over to my clothes and quickly changed. He's like an insensitive little brother, I thought, except he's probably like a hundred or two years older than me… Ew, now that's really gross. I mean, I like Envy as a character, but in real life he's a pain in the ass. I change my mind, I would never like a smartass old man cross-dresser like him.

Once my clothes were on, I pulled a bandanna over my head to hold my hair back and put in some nice silver studs I had bought at a jewelry shop for my ears. I was thinking about getting them pierced a few more times, and decided I'd do it after I save Hughes.

Anyway, I stepped out of the door to see Frosty sitting impatiently, glaring at me. I looked back, picking Frosty up. I had cooled off a little, and needed to ask him a question.

"Envy," I started, "Do you think I should tell the Elric brother's my secret?" He looked back at me, surprised.

"It doesn't really matter if you tell them or not," He said bluntly, as if realizing he didn't really care. I shrugged.

"Stupid cat," I said, throwing Frosty against a wall hard enough to kill him. And I'm guessing it did, because Frosty fell limply on the floor, before red lightning flickered around him as he healed and stood on four paws. I snickered as Frosty transformed into Envy, who blocked my way.

"You think that's funny?" He growled. I laughed and nodded.

"Yes, I do, because it was very funny," I snickered, while Envy loomed over me, clearly pissed off.

"How about if I kill you?" He threatened, cracking his knuckles. I laughed even harder.

"Dumbass," I said breathlessly, "You can't kill a sacrifice. Besides, I'll be seeing you later, so you can attempt to beat me up then," I laughed arrogantly, walking away as if I had won some kind of battle. Envy sweat dropped before transforming back into Frosty, prancing into my room and closing the door.

I ate breakfast, and, after thanking Gracia for the food, I went out to see the Elric brothers. I knew once they saw the map of labs they would sneak out to scout Lab 5, where of course I would follow them to make sure they weren't beat up too bad. Plus, I still wanna have an excuse to kick Envy's ass.

"Hello," I said to Maria and Denny as I paused at the Elric's door. They saluted me.

"At ease," I sighed, "You can act more informal around me. I don't like it when people act all uptight. Are the boys in their room?" I asked curiously. Both soldiers nodded.

"Have they started eating again?" I said in a worried voice. Maria nodded.

"Ever since you stopped by, they have," Denny said. I smiled.

"Well, has Major Armstrong stopped by yet with the map of Central labs?" Both soldiers shook their head at my question, and I sighed in relief. Good.

"Well, I'll be going in." I said, approaching the door and knocking on it. Ed shouted, "Come in!" And I opened the door, gracefully striding in and shutting the door behind me. Anxiety suddenly bombarded on me, making my nerves shoot up. That's because at that moment, I realized what I had promised to come here to do.

"Hey guys," I said, approaching them. Al was leaning on a wall next to the couch Ed sat on, and they both faced me once they heard my voice.

"Hey, Lynette," Ed said, patting an empty space on the couch. I sat down next to Ed, shifting uncomfortably as Ed and Al paid rapt attention to me. I winced, closing my eyes and sighing heavily.

"You owe us an explanation," Ed reminded me. I nodded slightly.

"But, promise me one thing," I said in a small voice. Ed and Al quickly made eye contact, as if debating whether to promise or not. I guess they both deemed me trustworthy, because they both nodded at me. I gulped, uneasy.

"Promise you won't hate me afterword," I said, fighting the tears that welled up in my eyes as I took a deep breath. Well, here goes everything.

"I'm really from the other side of the gate."

It's not really that I was afraid of them hating me. I wasn't afraid they'd be angry. I was afraid of them using me, like so many other people I've trusted. I was afraid they'd use me to get their bodies back, then toss me aside like a child would throw away an unwanted toy. I was afraid they'd hurt me, harder than I had been hurt before. I was afraid they'd leave me broken, use me and not even care about me. I was afraid. This was the first time I had ever admitted that to myself. They were like my brothers, and I really liked them, even if I haven't even known them for long. And I was afraid I'd loose them, along with a part of myself. But who can blame me?

I opened my eyes a crack to see Ed and Al gaping at me. They looked as if they had been electrified.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before," I sniffed, fat tears rolling down my cheeks, "I just wanted to make sure you two were trustworthy first," I lied. I actually never wanted to tell them, and just leave my past behind. It's not as if I'll go back there one day, leaving everyone to wonder where I'd gone. Besides, that would make a lot of people want to get closer to me. I didn't want that, now did I?

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE?" Ed said loudly. I winced.

"Because I didn't trust you before!" I said in a quieter tone, twiddling my thumbs.

"Do you know a way we can get our bodies back?" Ed questioned eagerly. I shook my head.

"No," I said guiltily. Ed sighed exaggeratedly in disappointment, and I felt something throb in my chest. I bit my lip, trying to ignore the physical throbbing.

"Do you know anything about the government experimentation on humans?" Ed asked. I thought for a moment, then nodded.

"What is it?" Both brothers exclaimed eagerly. I sighed.

"I'll tell you when Armstrong get's here with the map." I said. The brothers were about to protest, when they were interrupted by the door being thrown open.

"ELRIC BROTHERS, I HAVE RETURNED WITH THE MAP!" Armstrong's voice boomed as he entered the room, sparkling in all his glory. I sweat dropped.

Well, doesn't he always know when to butt in?

Hey guys! HAHA, LYNETTE FINALLY TOLD THE BROTHERS HER SECRET! MUHAHAHAHA! Also, a some of you have concerns with the whole Envy thing. First of all, Lynette didn't betray the Elric brothers by befriending Envy. You will soon find out why… Anyway, please don't hate on Envy! He's going to be here a lot in the story, but I promise, there will be no EnvyXLynette, because that would be just weird. Instead, I'm starting a new story! For those of you that do love Envy, check out my new story, "My Haunted House." It's really awesome and it's a mysteryish comedy that me and my friend came up with. I seriously laughed my ass off from all the things we came up with. So, check it out!

OMG this weekend I went to Salem, and IT ROCKED! Salem is the so called 'witch town' and I went camping. It sucks, because I was horrified some monster zombie would attack me, but other than that it was pretty fun. Too bad it's really far away though.

Back to this story, I will not be updating as much because my school work is building up and I want to write the other stories too. Sorry!

My lovely readers, please review~

Thanks!
