Bad Idea

A/N: New chapter, this one also comes with a new character. I do not own said character, it's another friend's OC, and will be in EVERY fic that I will write (that has Ali in it).

Anyways, since Ali is back in Dublith, she has to catch up with her friends, and there are a couple of surprises, so I hope you like. Please review and let me know if you like and if there are any suggestions that you want me to take into consideration.

Oh, and Vi is pronounced eye with a v in front of it.

Please review. Love ya!

Chapter 9: Reunions

"Wow, I can't believe that Izumi's your teacher." Ali said as they walked to said teacher's house.

"Yeah, small world isn't it." Al said.

"Yeah…" She said. "Finally, we're here."

Ed and Al walked up to the door first, but before they got close enough, it swung open and hit the wall.

"So, you've come back, my stupid apprentices." An angry voice said. "I hear you're still a state alchemist."

"W-we're sorry, Teacher." Al said.

"Yeah, s-sorry Teacher." Ed said. "I can't quit ye-" he started, but was interrupted by a kick in the face.

Ali started laughing and almost couldn't breathe because of it. That's when Izumi noticed her.

"Ali? Is that really you?" Izumi asked.

"Know anyone else with this adorable face?" Ali jokingly said.

"Well there is…" Izumi started to say, but then the door opened again and a smaller, slightly less violent-looking version of Ali came out.

"Yay! Ali!" the little girl said and ran to her.

Ali picked her up and hugged her. "I missed you Vi." She said, smiling.

"I missed you too!" the little girl said with a big smile.

Ed, Al, and Cirus were frozen.

"Ali, you didn't tell me you had a kid…" Cirus said.

"You mean Violet?" Ali asked, still holding the little girl.

"Unless you have another one, yeah." He said.

"He's dumb." Violet said.

"Be nice, Vi." Ali said. "And she's not my daughter, she's my sister."

"Oh…you didn't say you had a sister either…" Cirus said.

"Shut uuup!" Violet said. "You're an idiot! Why are you even here?"

"Vi, be nice." Ali scolded. "Izzie, can Vi hang out with us later?"

"Sure, she has to study a bit more today, but she can go with you later as long as you don't keep her out too late." Izumi said.

Ed and Al just stood there, speechless.

"So I'll be back later tonight, okay Vi?" Ali said.

"Okay Ali," Violet said, hugging Ali again.

Ali kissed her cheek then put her down. "We'll see you guys later, bye." She said, then walked off with Cirus.

"So, how old is she?" Cirus asked as they walked to her hotel.

"Vi's five." She said. "I haven't seen her since I left town though…"

"Really? Wow, no wonder you missed her so much." He said. "I can tell she's just like you too." He smiled.

"Yeah, a lot of people think she's my daughter since we look exactly alike." She laughed a little.

"Not just that, I mean your personalities seem similar." He said. "You're both mean and violent."

"Hey, I'm not me-…nevermind, and actually, Vi is very violent." Ali said, then smiled. "She's really adorable though."

Cirus laughed. "She sounds exactly like you…except the adorable part."

"Aww, that's not what you used to say before I left." She said.

"Oh, whatever." He mumbled. "So, why do you hang out with my stupid brother anyways? I find it hard to believe that you'd even talk to him because I'm related to him. You're too nice to just use someone like that because they look like someone else."

"True, but I won't tell you the real reason, so you should just be happy that I took the time and effort to tell you what I have told you." She said.

"Please?" he asked with a sad puppy look.

"No, and you should've learned a long time ago that that doesn't work on me, Hun." she said, rolling her eyes at him.

He evilly smirked. "I also know that you're easily annoyed and would sometimes agree to anything if I shut up."

"Don't. You. Dare." She said, glaring at him.

"Or I could always get you-know-who to ask you." His evil smirk grew into an evil grin. "I'm sure he'd love to."

"He probably would, but you better not tell him." She said in a no-nonsense tone.

"I won't, maybe." He said. "He's an idiot anyways. I don't know how he doesn't know."

"He doesn't know what?" Ali asked, not glaring anymore.

"Oh nothing, just forget it." He said. "Hey look, we're here." He quickly added before she could say anything.

She sighed. "Yeah, we're here." She mumbled, seemingly already annoyed.

They walked into what was almost the only bar in town, The Devil's Nest.

"Well, long time no see." A familiar voice said from the bar.

"It's been almost two years, yet everything's the same here." Ali joked. "I guess some things never change, do they Greed?"

"That's not fair. You haven't even seen everything yet." Greed said with a fake pout.

"Yeah, I'm not going to 'see' the closet with you…" she said with an unammused expression. "And the same goes for any bedrooms in the back."

He laughed. "Well I guess some things don't change after all." He said. "Great to have you back." He said and hugged her. "It's been so dull without you." He smirked, without her seeing it, then quickly kissed her.

She immediately pushed him away. "Why must you do that every time I see you?" she said, clearly unammused.

"Ali, he's Greed, 'nuff said." Cirus said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"See, even your boyfriend doesn't care." Greed said, moving towards her again.

"He's not my boyfriend anymore. You've knew this before I left." She said. "And even if he was, it's not him that you need to get approval from."

Greed gave a fake pouty face. "You've gotten colder since you left here, babe." He said.

"Greed, please don't make this like my last birthday party here." She said.

"Geese, why'd you have to bring that up? The images are coming back." Cirus said.

"Well you know Greed, always ruining everything with some sort of sexual harassment." Ali said.

"Hey, that was a fun party." Greed said. "It's not my fault we all got a bit drunk."

"You were the only drunk one of us, and you were way more than a bit drunk." Cirus said.

"So, it's not like I did anything that bad." Greed said.

"You were practically groping me the whole time, and at one point you almost ripped my fucking top off!" Ali practically yelled.

"I apologized in the morning…and it never happened again." Greed said. "Plus it's not like you wouldn't have ripped it off if you were that drunk."

"But I wasn't drunk, and even if I was, I wouldn't have been so stupid!" she said.

"The past is the past, and at least I didn't kill him enough times to actually kill him." Cirus said. "Like that time a few years ago on his 'birthday'…"
