Lily: HELLO PEOPLES OF ZE INTERWEBS, AND WELCOME TO CW CHAPPIE 12!

Snowfur: ...

Arin: No reaction this time?

Snowfur: Nope.

Myra: *is happily eating ice cream*

Arin: Before you ask, 'Hey Arin, did you buy Myra ice cream?' Yes. I did.

Snowfur: And now she's finally quiet.

Lily: OH! Also, before this chapter starts, I apologize for making this chapter shorter than the others. But don't worry! If you know the FMAB storyline, then you know who's gonna appear next. Aaaaand, there's a PLOT TWIST!

Maes: YAYY! Plot twists are interesting.

Arin: Oh. I forgot you were a ghost now.

Maes: I'm a very sexy ghost. *poses*

Roy: Oh my god Hughes...

Maes: You know you love it Roy-boy.

Lily: DISCLAIMER! PLEEEAAASE!

Ed: A-HGaming doesn't own FMAB, or FMA, or anything anime related except for merch.

Myra: ENJOY THE CHAPTER!

"Never. Again." Lily pants as she stumbles to the train exit. She was feeling extremely nauseous and was having really bad motion sickness. "I…hate…freaking…trains!" She exclaims, walking down the stairs. She stomps out of the loading station and plops down on a bench. Stupid trains…stupid Amestris and its 1900's technology…why couldn't there be better cars? Or at least some type of medicine for motion sickness…

"Lily! There you are!" Snowfur exclaims, running to her. Behind her were Myra, Arin, Edward and Alphonse. "We've been standing at the station for an hour waiting for you." Lily groans and leans on Snowfur's shoulder. "…are you okay?" She asks. Lily shakes her head. "I got motion sickness…." She mutters. Myra giggles and pats Lily's head. "Don't worry! It'll go away!" she exclaims.

Ed taps his foot impatiently on the ground. "So, are we heading to T-Teacher's house or what?" he asks. Arin nods. "Lead the way." She says, and they all start walking.

"Brother…" Alphonse says after a while. Ed turns around to face him. "What's wrong Al?" He asks. Alphonse stops walking and his armor starts shaking, making loud clanking sounds. "T-Teacher's gonna kill us…i-isn't she?" Ed stops walking as well and starts shaking. The brothers go into chibi form and start anime crying. "We're gonna die!" Ed exclaims. Lily deadpans.

"Ed, you're sparkling." Arin mutters, and Ed pales. "Wh…WHAT?!" He yells, and proceeds to swat the sparkles away. Lily laughs and Ed sends a glare in her direction.

Myra turns around to face them with a big smile. "We're here!" She exclaims to Ed and Al's dismay. "Oh no…" Ed mutters. Lily smirks. "I'm excited to meet your teacher. Especially if she intimidates you that much." She says. Snowfur lets out a small laugh. "So, who's gonna open the door?" Arin asks.

"BROTHER IS!"

"AL IS!"

The two brothers point at each other at the same time. Ed glares at Alphonse, who sweat drops. "Alphonse…." Ed growls angrily. "But you're the older brother!" Alphonse says, taking a few steps back. Ed stares at his younger brother in shock and disbelief. Arin snickers. "Yeah Ed. Open the door for your brother." she says. Snowfur nods and pushes Ed towards the door. He struggles, throwing his arms around. "LET GOOO!"

As soon as the two get to the door, Snowfur knocks on it quickly and runs away, leaving Ed alone. He looks back with a pitiful expression on his face. "Alphonse...little brother…" he starts, freezing up as soon as the doorknob turns. "Why…?"

The door opens, and Ed slowly turns around, dreading what he was going to see. The first thing he sees is a gleaming knife, and the intimidating face of Sig, Izumi's wife. Ed sweat drops and cowers away in fear. Sig looks down at him and asks, "Is that you Edward?" Everyone sighs collectively in relief. Ed nods, and Sig starts patting him on the head. Al walks up and bows. "Um...I'm Alphonse…" he says quietly. Ed looks up at his brother, silently hoping Sig didn't question the armor. Thankfully, Sig simply says, "It's nice to see you again Alphonse," and pats him on the head.

"Uncle Sig!" Myra exclaims, running up to the door happily. Sig's eyes widen, and he smiles widely. "Myra!" He exclaims, picking her up. Myra giggles and smiles as well. Lily looks at the two, sighing. Then, a thought hits her.

Lily! You're back! I missed you my little sweetie cake!

Maes...You're doing it again.

Aw! Come on! I know you like the nicknames my little pumpkin!

Shut up...H-HEY! PUT ME DOWN!

But you're so cuuuuute!

MAES!

Alright….fiiiine…

Lily's eyes start to gloss over and she turns away, taking a deep breath. "Hey Lily, are you okay?" Snowfur asks, noticing her sudden behavior. Lily nods, wiping her eyes and quickly composing herself. "Yeah...I'm fine." She then focuses back on the conversation between Sig and the three alchemists.

"Honey, the Elrics and Myra are here, along with some of their friends." Sig calls into the window. Izumi looks up from the book she was reading and sighs. "Those idiots are here?" She sighs, getting up from her bed. "I'm coming…"

Ed looks at Alphonse. "Do you think teacher will notice..?" Ed asks. Alphonse shrugs. "I hope not." He then deadpans. "She's gonna kill us…" Ed nods, and suddenly, a foot appears out of the door, kicking Ed to the other side of the street and into the wall. Lily immediately bursts into laughter. Izumi steps out of the doorway, sighing angrily. "You've gotten flimsy, Elric!" She then looks at Alphonse. "Who're you?"

"Um...I'm Alphonse." Al says, freezing up as Izumi stares at him. She then smiles, holding out a hand. "Alphonse! It's nice to see you! Wow, you've grown so much!" She says. Alphonse takes her hand happily. "Teacher!" He exclaims. Izumi then tenses her arm and flips Alphonse over into the dirt. Myra snorts and covers her mouth with her hand.

"Myra! It's so nice to see you again!" Izumi exclaims, hugging her niece. Myra smiles and returns the hug. Izumi then tightens her grip, preparing to thrown Myra over her and on the ground. However, Myra was expecting it. She twirls around and loosens the grip, and sends a roundhouse kick at Izumi. She jumps out of the way and smirks. "That's my niece."

Ed and Al make their way to their teacher, now recovered from the attack. Ed rubs his face, still sore from the throw. "H-Hey...T-Teacher.." He mutters. Izumi glares at the Elrics, making them cower away. "I heard what you did, Edward!" Izumi yells, gaining her demon aura. "You became a dog of the State! The one thing I specifically told you NOT TO DO!" The angered teacher then turns to Myra with a fiercer glare. "I'm even more upset at you!" She exclaims, pointing at Myra. "You off all people should know better than to join the State!" Myra backs away from Izumi, fear shining in her eyes.

Izumi sighs. "Well...I guess I can't control what you do." Myra sweat drops in relief and slumps down. Snowfur and Arin pat her on the back. "But you two!" She turns back to the Elrics and glares. Ed and Al step away from their teacher slowly. "Wow teacher...you sure have a lot of energy for someone who isn't feeling well…" Alphonse says with a nervous laugh, in a small attempt to calm their teacher down. It didn't work.

"NOT FEELING WELL?! THA-!" Izumi starts, but then gets cut off by a rush of blood coming out of her mouth. The alchemists all scream in terror, and Sig goes to wipe it off her mouth. "TEACHER!" Ed and Al screech.

"You've got to stay in bed and rest. You don't want to get sick." Sig says, rubbing Izumi's back comfortingly. Izumi smiles and looks up at him. "Oh, thank you for worrying about me darling! I'm so glad to have a husband like you!" She exclaims, and hugs him tightly. Everyone else deadpans and hearts start flying everywhere.

"Bleh…" Myra mumbles. Lily giggles as Izumi sends a glare at her. "Come now, let's talk at the table. I would like to know what you've been doing for these past years." Izumi says, gaining a nice aura. The Curtis' walk inside their house.

"I like her!" Lily exclaims, and Ed deadpans. "I should've known…" he mutters. "H-Hopefully she doesn't ask why I'm in armor…" Al says worriedly. "Don't worry Al-kun! I'll distract Aunt Izumi! She'll never notice!" Myra says, giving Al's armor a small tap. Al goes into chibi form and anime blushes appear on his helmet. "Thank you Myra!" He exclaims happily. "Explosives." Arin says, giving a thumbs up. Translation: I ship it. "ALREADY?!" Lily and Snowfur exclaim.

"ARE YOU ALL COMING OR WHAT?!" Izumi's booming voice resounds from the house. Ed and Al jump back in surprise. "Y-Yes teacher!" Ed exclaims, and heads in. The others all follow behind him with little difficulty, except for Al's helmet hitting the top of the door frame. It almost fell off, but Snowfur thankfully caught it in time. Sig then proceeded to seat them all at a large table in the middle of their dining room.

"So, I would first like to know the names of your friends here." Izumi says, waving a hand towards the girls. "I'm Lily!" Lily exclaims happily. "I'm Sophia, but everyone calls me Snowfur." Snowfur says. "And I'm Arin." Arin says, and Izumi nods towards them. "It's nice to finally meet you all. When Myra came back here for training, she ran her mouth off about you three." Myra laughs and rubs the back of her head sheepishly.

Izumi then turns to the Elrics. "So, why have you two come back?" She asks, and Al looks at Ed. "We're here to brush up on our fighting, and we want to find out any information you might have on the philosopher's stone." Ed says. Izumi looks down at her lap in thought. "No...I'm sorry, but I don't really know much about the philosopher's stone." She says, and Ed looks down. Sig turns to his wife. "Didn't that man from Central say he knew stuff like that?" He asks, and Izumi looks up and nods.

"That's right! I think his name was...Hohenheim." Izumi says, and the alchemists all look at her in surprise. Ed clenches his fists. "Damnit...so he is still alive then." Ed mutters. Izumi narrows her eyes. "Do you know him?" she asks. Ed nods. "That bastard is supposed to be our father." At this point, Ed was shaking from the suppressed rage inside him. Izumi looks at him in shock. "The one that left you when you were little?"

Ed nods. "I wish he was dead...that bastard...he didn't even show up for Mom's funeral. I don't consider him our father." He says fiercely. Alphonse stares at his brother, compassion resonating from him armor. Izumi sighs and gets up. "Why don't we get our mind off things and eat dinner?"

~~~UNDER CENTRAL~~~

"Father! Father where are you, you old man!" Envy calls, not bothering to acknowledge his other siblings. "What is it, Envy?" A voice asks from behind a set of metal pipes and machines. "I have a small problem with your...plan." He says, walking in front of Father, the Dwarf homunculus. "A problem?" Father asks, narrowing his eyes.

"We heard from Wrath that Pain and her little entourage knew your plans, and from what I've heard, you aren't changing a damn thing!" Envy exclaims, starting to pace around. "If we don't do anything, they'll know exactly how to stop us!" Father sighs and stares at Envy with a blank expression. "Envy, my son-,"

"Don't 'my son' me! You're just going to come up with some stupid excuse to stop me from complaining! I'm surprised that no one else has said this to you already!" Envy snaps back. "You're pretty angry Envy. Did the humans at Central HQ give you a hard time?" Lust asks, smirking. Envy glares at her angrily. She holds her hands up as if to say 'don't look at me! I didn't do anything!'

"Anyways...What the hell are you doing old man?! If we don't act, Pain and the Fullmetal pipsqueak will come right under our noses and ruin everything! It's taken so long to get this far and I, for one, don't want to throw our work away!" Envy yells, opening his mouth to continue but Father holds up a hand, signaling for him to stop speaking.

"Now, I understand you're angry Envy, but you're wrong. I am doing something." Father says, and Envy glares at him in response. "From what I've heard, although the plans may be similar, they do not have the same goal. There are already differences." Father says. "The plan that Wrath told us aims for power, yes, but not nearly as much as I'm going to gain." Envy narrows his eyes.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You'll find out soon, my son. Soon."

~~~THE NEXT DAYZ~~~

Lily looks around, seeing nothing but darkness. It scares her, reminding her of her 'powers.' The powers that killed three people. The powers that make her a monster. A white light appears in the darkness. Her eyes widen and she turns around, running towards it. As she gets closer, the light gets brighter and she stops running to shields her eyes. The light fades and she looks around her.

She was at the phone booth.

No...no no no….I don't want to be here...not here again! NO! She thinks, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hello there Pain."

Lily whips around to see Envy standing behind her smirking. He was holding a gun.

"Hehe...You do realize this is your fault, right?" Envy asks, holding up the gun. "You couldn't stop me. You could've just used your powers and defeated me. But you were too scared."

Envy disappears into the darkness, laughing. Lily turns back around to see Hughes slumped down by the phone booth. Her eyes widen and she rushes towards him. "MAES!" She screams, and holds his hand. He opens his eyes up and looks at her weakly. "Lily...my daughter…"

"I HATE YOU."

Lily's eyes widen and she staggers back from the man in shock. Hughes stands up, blood dripping down his arm and chest, soaking into his uniform.

"You didn't do anything to save me. You let that damn homunculus kill me." Hughes says, glaring at her angrily. Lily backs away even farther from him. "I guess I wrong about you. All of you homunculi are nothing but monsters."

Lily sits up in her bed, panting heavily. Maes...Maes...It's all...my fault… She thinks. She brings her knees up to her chest and buries her head in her arms. Against her will, tears start rolling down her cheeks. "D-Damnit…" She mutters, wiping the tears against her arm. It didn't do anything to stop them from continuing. "I miss you…"

Ed sighs and rolls out of bed groggily. "Brother?" Al asks, turning to look at his brother. "Hey Al...is it still night?" He asks, sitting up. Alphonse nods. Ed gets up and stretches, sighing deeply. "Can't sleep?" Al asks, and Ed nods. "I'm going to go walk around and get some fresh air. Hopefully it'll help me sleep." He says, heading towards the room door. "Be sure not to wake anyone." Al calls as Ed places his automail hand on the doorknob. Ed smiles. "Don't worry, I will. See ya in a bit." He says and heads out into the hallway.

Ed sighs and walks to the back porch of the Curtis' house. As he heads down the hallway, he hears a faint noise. Where is that coming from? He thinks. He makes his steps quieter, though he couldn't do anything about the clanking of his automail. As he continues walking, he starts to hear the sound more clearly. That sounds like...crying. Ed thinks. He finds the room where the sound is the loudest. This is Lily's room! Why would she be crying though? He narrows his eyes and puts his hand on the doorknob. He stops however, rethinking his options.

How would I face her when she's crying?! The only other person I've dealt with was Winry, and I've known her my entire life! What if I make a complete idiot of myself?! He thinks, then blushes. Why the hell am I worrying about this in the first place?! I should just give her space and walk away. He nods, agreeing with himself. He starts to walk away, when the crying gets louder. Ed stops and freezes, then growls angrily and storms in the room. Damn my compassion!

"Lily? Are you alright?" Ed yells, walking into the room. "I heard crying coming from your room and-," Ed stops when he sees Lily. She was curled up in a ball, crying heavily into her lap. The sheets on her bed were thrown everywhere, and it looked like a tornado had passed through the room. She looks up at him, tears still rolling down her cheeks. His expression softens, and he walks up to her. "Hey...are you okay?" He asks, softer this time. Lily shakes her head from side to side. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" He asks. Man, this feels so weird…

Lily mutters something, but Ed couldn't hear it. "Um...c-can you repeat that?" Ed asks, sitting on her bed. "I had a nightmare." She says softly. Ed's eyes widen slightly. "I...I understand if you don't want to talk about-,"

"You're going to find out eventually, so I'll just tell you now." Lily says, biting her lip. It looked like she was forcing back more tears. "While I was i-in Central a-after you all left...M-Maes...he was killed."

Ed stares at her in shock and horror. "Wh...What?!" He exclaims. "B-But...how?" Lily whimpers and puts her head back in her arms. Soft sobs could be heard coming from her. "I...I w-was th-there…I c-couldn't s-stop it a-and…it's all my fault!" She breaks off into sobs, gradually becoming louder. Ed looks down, his bangs shielding his expressions. "...Who killed him?" Ed asks. Lily looks up at him, trying to silence her sobs. She hesitates for a moment, then tells Ed.

"...It was Envy." She mumbles. Ed stares at her, wide-eyed. "I-I d..didn't wanna tell R-Roy...cuz h-he would r-run o-off and get himself k-killed…" She stares at him pleadingly. "P-Please don't tell him…h-he needs to find out o-on his own…" Ed didn't understand what she meant by Mustang having to find out on his own, but he was in no position to decline. He nods slowly, and Lily seemed to accept the answer.

"H-He p-pinned me t-to the ground and...and h-he grabbed a-a gun and…and he.." Ed looks at her, sadness filling his eyes. "...you don't have to say any more. It's alright." He mutters, and Lily starts crying again. "...I-I couldn't do anything...it's all my fault…" She mutters. Ed shakes his head. "No! It's not your fault!" He exclaims. She stares at him for his sudden outburst, and he blushes.

"Well, I mean, you didn't physically kill him yourself. So it's not your fault. And you didn't cause it, that bastard Envy from Lab 5 did. You shouldn't blame yourself." He says strongly, looking her in the eyes. Suddenly, Lily jumps out and hugs Ed, crying into his shoulder. He looks at her in shock, his face turning a bright red. "...th-thank y-you…" She mutters, stifling her sobs as much as she could.

After a few moments, something clicked in Lily's brain. Oh my god….OH MY GOD! She thinks, her face still on Ed's shoulder. I just cried in front of Ed. I just hugged Ed. I JUST BROKE DOWN IN FRONT OF THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! She immediately breaks away from Ed, her face also a bright red. She quickly wipes the tears off her face, her arm hiding her embarrassment. "U-Um….uhhh…..I, uh, g-got to get back to sleep. Um...big day tomorrow!" Lily laughs nervously, silently hoping that Ed would agree and leave her alone to fangirl.

Ed raises an eyebrow and stares at Lily's sudden change in behavior. "U-Um...okay. Yeah, I, uh, have to get back to Al. He's p-probably worried about me…" Ed trails off, standing up. "See you in the morning?" He asks, heading to the door. Lily nods. "Y-Yeah." She mutters. As soon as he leaves the room, and she was sure he wasn't in the hallway, Lily slams her pillow to her face and squeals.

Alphonse: I SHIP IT! *squeals*
