This chapter originally had Roy being beaten up on by a hillbilly, but it got pretty boring and too much like Inuyasha after a while. So I deleted it. Lol. Well, umm.. I'm not quite sure what's going to happen next, so… all I'll say is I hope you like it :)

Disclaimer: Yano… this is getting kind of annoying. I DO NOT FIRKING OWN FULL METAL ALCHEMIST! And you cannot sue me. Because I am special and cannot be sued so go eat a tree. Lol

Al sighed. He missed his Nii-san.

"Cheer up little Elric!" Armstrong yelled.

"Oh! Armstrong… I didn't see you."

Armstrong showed off his muscles and said with pride, "How could not see these sparkles?"

Al sighed again and sat down on a black bench. He looked down at his hand. It was just the

day before that he had shaken his brother's hand

and said goodbye. The first time ever.

Al then suddenly stood up and posed.

"I'm going to be strong for Nii-san!"

Armstrong posed with him and shouted,

"Look at me sparkle!"

Just then, Farman walked in and walked straight back out, shaking his head.

"They're all on drugs I tell you…"

Breda sighed. It sure as hell took him long enough to convince this girl that he wasn't a

stalker. He glared at the dog sitting in the back seat

and Den growled at him. Breda started to sweat and looked over at Winry. She looked out

the window and stared.

"We're not going the right way…" She carefully pointed out.

"I know."

"You're not really a stalker are you?"

"No…"

"Then why aren't we going to headquarters?"

"It's not safe."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT SAFE?" She screamed

"WHERE'S EDWARD? IS HE ALLRIGHT? WHAT ABOUT AL? ARE THEY BOTH

OKAY? WHAT HAPPENED?"

She grabbed onto Breda, causing him to speed out of control and hit a tree.

He glared at her and she nervously smiled.

"Oops…"

Breda walked to the nearest phone booth and started dialing in a number by heart. Winry

watched him then sat down on the curb. She was

worried about Ed. Den came up and nuzzled on her leg. She smiled and pet him. She

sighed.

Suddenly, Den went rigid and started growling.

"What is it boy?"

She stood up and stared in the general direction, but saw nothing.

She knelt down and pet him.

"There's nothing there, Den."

He continued to growl.

"Fine, I'll go look for you. Would that make you happy?"

No response. Duh. She sighed and stood up straight, brushing herself off. She looked at all

the little houses and shops. They were all quite

squished together and she suddenly missed home. She kicked a couple rocks in the street,

and stopped to smell the flowers in front of a

restaurant. She breathed in and looked around. It was an older restaurant. It had stone walls

and a very large window. There was a single sign

in front of it which read, "The Shire."

"What an odd name…"

She thought and leaned over the flower bed to look through the window. Of course, no one

was around, which she found quite odd. It was all

too quiet in Central City. She continued walking. She passed an alley way and suddenly,

something caught her eye. She froze and turned

slowly. It was a trashy alleyway. It looked like the trash hadn't been picked up in over a

year. She saw a broken bicylcle, a few trash cans, an

old stroller and a car tire. Of course, she couldn't identify the smaller things. Suddenly, she

heard a noise from behind one of the trash cans a

bit farther back. She squinted.

"How far does this alley go?"

She thought. She took a step and nearly tripped over a bottle of some kind. She kicked it off

to the side. She then heard something move

again. She could see two green glowing eyes staring at her. They blinked and she froze.

Suddenly, Breda was behind her with a gun.

"What is it?"

He yelled.

She pointed to the eyes and he pointed his gun at them. He shook. Suddenly, they heard a

noise and it came out from the darkness.

"Meow!"

They both sighed. Breda put his gun away and Winry held onto her chest.

Breda then grabbed her arm and dragged her to the phone booth.

"Sit right here and do not move."

She sat down.

"Good girl..."

She growled and he walked back to the phone, whistling as he went.

Little did they know, a tall black figure was watching them from the rooftop.

It laughed.

"Too easy…"

Roy yawned. He was tired He was thirsty. He was hungry. And most of all, he was afraid.

He stared at the forest

ahead of them and stared at the road off to the side of it.

"Hey! Full Metal!"

Ed stopped without turning around and snapped,

"What?"

"Let's take the road instead…"

"Whatever."

Ed then changed direction and started walking toward the road off to the side of the trees.

Riza stared at Roy. Roy stared at Riza.

They gave each other feared expressions and then continued to walk. Havoc shook his head.

Once again, they spoke in a language he didn't understand.

Roy started watching Edward as he walked. He seemed to keep slowing down. Roy was a

bit worried, but he'd never admit that. Suddenly, Ed

fell face first into the sand.

"ED!" Roy yelled and ran to him.

Ed's face was once again down in the ground.

Ed put a hand up and waved at the Colonel.

"I'm too damn tired… if you make me walk any more…"

He took a handful of sand and growled,

"I'll make you eat this…"

Roy laughed.

"I suppose a break wouldn't be such a bad idea."

They all sat down around Ed, who was still lying in the sand.

"That can't be comfortable…" Havoc commented.

Ed ignored him and pretended to snore. Roy laughed.

"He's got the right idea…" Roy then laid his head on Ed's back without thinking and closed his eyes.

Hughes laughed.

"So cute… such cute little love birds!"

Suddenly, he was lying on the ground as well, with a huge welt in his head and a black shoe

in front of his face.

He wondered how that happened. He looked at Roy's one stocking foot and laughed. He

stood up, leaning over Roy.

"Don't be ashamed just because I found out!" He yelled.

Silence.

" Roy?"

He knelt down and poked Roy then ran away quick.

He ran up, peeked up behind Roy and poked him again. He waited a couple seconds then

JUMPED away.

"I wouldn't bother him if I were you…" Havoc warned.

He then got right in the Colonel's face and started playing with his cheeks.

Havoc put his hand out in front of Riza.

"Ten bucks says Roy proves pigs can fly…"

Hughes made a sad face a Havoc then turned his attention back to Roy. He started messing

with his hair and moving his lips while imitating him.

"Hello, I'm Roy Mustang, the biggest asshole in the whole world."

Suddenly, Hughes was half way across the sand whining as he fell.

Roy laughed and clicked his mouth a few times. He moved his head around Ed's back a bit

and said,

"Idiot…"

"Yes you are…" Ed said in his sleep.

Silence.

Havoc then started rummaging around for something in his suitcase.

"What are you looking for?" Riza asked, a bit curious.

"Something."

He reached inside and pulled out several miscellaneous items that he most likely wouldn't

have needed on this trip. He then pulled out a large plastic bag full of cigarette boxes. Riza

rolled her eyes.

"Of course…"

"Ahh!"

He surprised her.

He pulled out something bulky and box like with a large button on the side. He pushed the

button and a large flash

went off. Riza laughed.

"You're going to get murdered for that one…"

Havoc snickered.

"Yea, but I'll make plenty of copies…"
