PLEASE READ:

Well, I found some extra time and decided to write a chapter for you guys. But only you nice people, not the stupid flamers who keep e-mailing me. Now, I'm going to refrain from blowing up at you jerks and just point to the top and bottom of each of my chapters. They're called, "Author's Notes!" READ 'EM! They might explain why the chapters are so short. And umm, if you don't like Roy and Ed being gay, then don't read. I put RoyXEd on the description for a reason. Okay, now that we have that established. Please enjoy this next chapter:

Havoc smoked a cigarette and stared his fellow officers. All of them except him and Roy

were in civilian clothes.

They were all practicing not calling each other by their ranks in the "courtyard". Roy went

by Riza and gave her a devilish smile.

"So, I get to call you Riza now."

She rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, sir."

He laughed and announced,

"This is going to be fun."

"Except, Roy…" Havoc began.

"You can't hit on Riza, because you're married."

He threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped on it.

"You have to be faithful, remember?"

He smiled cleverly and put a tooth pick in his mouth. Roy glared at him. Havoc shrugged

and smirked,

"Just telling the truth, Roy." He started giggling and walked away with a huge smile on his face.

Roy fell backward onto the grass.

"This is gonna suck."

"GET AWAY!" A voice yelled from the other side of the courtyard. It was Edward in a

dress. He was running away from Hughes.

"Oh come on! Let me put your hair in pigtails! Sweet little Edina!"

Roy smiled and said, "5…4…3…2…-"

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A MICROSCOPIC BACTERIA THAT IS SO

ITTY BITTY TEENY TINY IT CAN GET AWAY FROM EVEN THE TEENIEST

TINIEST MEDICINES BECAUSE IT PASSES RIGHT THROUGH THEM?"

Everyone watched in terror as Hughes started running away from Edward instead.

When Edward finally became too tired to chase after him anymore and stripped off the

dress. Under it, he had on a white tank top and black pants. He threw the dress on the

ground and stomped on it. He then put his hands to his mouth and announced,

"IF ANYONE ELSE TRIES TO GET ME TO WEAR A DRESS, THEY'RE GONNA DIE!"

And with that, he went back inside.

Roy walked over to Hughes, who was wearing his normal purple shirt. Roy knelt down and

poked the crumpled ball of flesh.

"You are a sick man."

Hughes laughed and untangled himself. He jumped up, dusted himself off and shook

around a little.

"But I thought it would look so cute! He could look just like Elysia!"

Hughes then produced a picture of his beautiful daughter in pigtails and the exact same

dress.

"Isn't she cute?"

"Yes, Hughes, for the millionth time, she's just peachy."

Hughes then began to "hug" the picture and nuzzled on it.

"Oh, I love my Elysia!"

"Yes, I know."

Roy said and walked back to the others. He sat down and watched them all make idiots of

themselves trying to act like normal people. Suddenly, Farman yelled out to Roy and said,

"The Fuhrer is on the phone!"

Roy slowly walked in, dreading what the Fuhrer had planned for him this time.

Ed sighed and kicked up a couple rocks that were on the ground.

"This is so stupid."

He leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky.

"Someone wants to kill me."

Suddenly, the wind picked up and a cloud went over the sun. The cloud seemed to turn red.

Ed put his hand over his eyes so he could see clearly. But, before he could get a good view,

the cloud had moved. His hair flew around his face and he felt a bit cold. He held his

shoulders and slid down along the wall onto the ground.

"Cold, Full Metal?" A voice taunted from in front of him.

"What do you want?" Ed yelled.

"I've got new details about our assignment." Roy stated.

"Great." Ed said with sarcasm.

"Do we have to be lesbians now?"

He said with a growl in his voice. Roy laughed.

"No…fortunately, you're the only one who has to pretend to be a member of their

opposite sex."

Ed hugged his legs to his chest and put his head on his knees.

"That's wonderful."

Roy sat down beside him.

"So don't you want to know?"

"Sure."

Ed mumbled.

"Well, it appears as though we have to go to the mountains and live there for a while."

Ed smiled.

"That's not so bad, real earth, real ground."

He picked his head up.

"Sounds great."

"You won't like this next part."

"I'm sure I won't, the fact we're going to the mountains seems to be the only good thing

about this assignment."

He put his head back down.

"He looks really depressed." Roy thought.

Roy sighed and continued,

"Apparently, it would be too suspicious if so many people went up there at once,

so, Armstrong and Fuery will not be joining us."

Ed pulled his legs closer to him and his hair flew around his face.

"Joyous. Just you, me, Havoc and Hawkeye are going then."

"Don't forget Hughes."

Roy said with a smile.

"Oh, who could forget HIM?"

Ed growled.

He shivered as the wind picked up some more.

Roy stood up, took off the upper part of his uniform and put it around Edward. Ed looked

up at Roy with confusion.

"Well, I am a gentleman after all, and you're a lady."

Ed threw the jacket back at Roy and hid his head. Roy then tenderly put the jacket back

around him and said,

"Sorry."

"Huh?"

Ed questioned.

Roy sat back down beside Edward, sighed and said,

"I've been teasing you too much, haven't I?"

Ed remained silent. He pulled the jacket tighter around him and felt the warmth that Roy

had put into it. It smelled like Roy too. Every time he breathed in, it felt like he was

floating.

"Dammit"

He thought.

"Hey!"

Roy said and poked Ed.

"Don't worry about it; I'm not some sensitive little kid."

Ed said and got up. He handed the jacket back to Roy and started walking away. Roy smiled

a defeated smile and shook his head.

"To have feelings, doesn't mean you're a kid..."

He then put his jacket back on and walked the other way.

He sighed.

"He'll always dislike me."

"And that is pretty much my fault." He laughed at himself.

"I can't have a conversation with him without making fun of him in some way."

He sighed.

"What a jerk I am."

He bowed his head.

"What a jerk…"

Ж

"What a jerk!" Ed yelled and threw a rock into the fountain. He sat on the side of it and

looked at hisreflection.

"That guy lives to make my life miserable."

He smiled and threw another rock in as he said,

"But he's still not a cheat."

"Nii-san?"

A familiar voice questioned.

"Hey Al."

Ed said with a depressed tone.

"What's been bothering you Nii-san?"

Al said and sat down at the fountain beside Ed.

Ed threw another rock in and yelled,

"This stupid assignment, those stupid killers, and that stupid man!"

He got up, walked over to a patch of grass and fell down in it. He grabbed a fox tail and put

it in his mouth. Al laughed and sat beside him.

"You can't do that when you get up there you know…"

"Do what?" Ed asked.

"Lash out, yell, and you especially can't put foxtails in your mouth."

Al giggled.

"Are you making fun of me now?"

Ed asked, sadly.

Al had then realized that he had hurt his brother's feelings and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry."

He said and got up.

"I'll leave you alone."

Ed listened until the familiar metallic stomp disappeared.

He took the foxtail out of his mouth and got up. He stretched and yawned.

"Time to learn how to be a lady!"
