heya peoples! i'm not gonna say much...so on with the story! after these messages (i always wanted to say that...) :

Memo:
Hey all you readers! Ember here. I'd like to say I'm so happy I finally was able to finish this chapter! (sorry, I got grounded) And I made some editing to some of the language here :glares at Ed and his colorful language: So if it's not exact, BLAME ED! Also, I'm somewhat happy this has a little violence in it. Battles scenes are my specialty! It's the romance I have trouble with…. :scratches head: So that is why I have hired an assistant to help me out on the romances I get stuck with! She shall be known as Bluesox!

Read and Enjoy!

Yours truly,

Ember

The Next Day at the Tucker Residence

"So, your mom left two years ago?" Al asked Nina the next day.

"Uh-huh. Daddy said she went back to her parents' house." Nina replied. Bella looked up from her book as she heard this.

"Really? You must be kinda lonely living in such a big house." She said. Nina smiled as she hugged Alexander.

"No I'm not. Daddy's nice to me and I've got Alexander too!" Nina paused, as she started to scratch Alexander's head.

"But lately Daddy's always in his laboratory with the door locked. So it's a little lonely." Everyone was silent for a few moments, until Ed closed his book.

"Ah man. All this reading is making my shoulders cramp, day after, day….." Ed said, getting up.

"Maybe you should go and run outside. Exercise is the cure for cramped shoulders" Rei said as she closed her book. Ed nodded in agreement and pointed at Alexander.

"Hey dog! I'll play with your for exercise!" he shouted. He walked outside with Rei and Al following him. Bella turned to Nina and held out her hand.

"Come on Nina, you too." She said. As they had gotten outside Ed was being chased by Alexander yet again. Bella laughed as he ran past her. As he was running past Rei, he accidentally tripped on her foot. Alexander saw his opportunity and pounced, causing Ed to fall on top of Rei. Al and Bella stared in disbelief.

"Oh………… my…………… god……….." Bella said, surprised. This isn't going to be good…….. thought Al. (Note: This next scene was written by All- Bella: hey! I thought we were calling her Bluesox! Me: oh yes, anyways, Bluesox wrote this next scene for me since she kicks ass at romance! So uh, you can kill her if you disagree with it. EdxBella and EdxRei forever! Bella: You can't be both! Me: oh yes I can! Especially the other person you're hooked up with Bella :smiles evilly: Bella: Mention his name, and you're dead meat. Me: ok, not mentioning……….)

"Hehe, I'd knew you'd make your move on her someday Ed!" Bella laughed. Ed and Rei got up, giving her death glares. Ed confronted her.

"I wasn't!" Ed yelled, as his face turned red. But I'd make a move on you any day he thought.

Bella was laughing her ass off, not noticing Alexander running up behind her.

"Bella look out!" Al yelled. Bella shrieked as Alexander ambushed her. Alexander landed on her with a heavy thud and suddenly she found herself extremely close to Ed's face. I could get used to this Bella thought. (Dude: NO! YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING AREN'T YOU! Me: You'll see snickers evilly)

"Oh yeah. Who was I making a move on?" Ed said, smirking at Bella.

"Oh haha, funny," Bella said sarcastically. They both laughed and Bella realized that she wasn't off of him, but decided that she wasn't about to force Alexander off of her. The two of them stopped laughing and looked into each other eyes. Bella wanted so badly to brush her lips against his, even for one second. It seemed for a moment that he too felt the same way. But just as Bella decided to take a chance, Alexander got off and Rei's voice flooded her ears.

"Bella, gonna get off any time soon?" she asked her. Bella got off of Ed and looked around sheepishly, before giving Rei a glare from hell.

Rei's POV:

You looked at Bella and Ed; with Bella on top of Ed and felt a tinge of jealousy, but swore never to let it show. Bella could never know you felt anything more than friendship with Ed. She would annoy you even more…if it was possible.

But then you looked on the positive side (which was rare) and grinned. You would never, ever, not in a million years let Bella forget this.

"Bella, gonna get off Ed anytime soon?" you asked. She looked around embarrassed, and when she thought no else was looking, shot you a harsh glare. So, Bella still has a thing for Ed? She made it seem like she was waaayyy over him. I cannot let them be together. If I'm lucky, I'll get to interrupt 'on accident' a little more. Well, that won't work forever…I guess I'll just have to beat her to him…

Back to third person! YAY!

A smile quickly appeared on Bella's face, obviously trying to hide embarrassment. "Uh, I see Havoc, let's go" she said quickly and walked in the direction Havoc was in. Her expression quickly flashed with a mix on disappointment and anger. Damnit! I was so close…………She thought.

Yet again, the next day……(I'm doing this from memory since someone's borrowing Vol. 2, and I don't feel like looking for it online)

Ed looked up at the cloudy sky as the stood at the door of the Tucker residence. The sun was being blocked by the clouds, casting a large shadow upon the ground. (Me: very depressing mood, eh?)

"It's gonna rain soon" He said, looking towards Rei, who still had an emotionless expression on her face.

"I hate the rain….." Bella said simply as she looked up at the sky. Ed swore he saw her eyes flash a dark red for a moment, but when he blinked, they were the deep blue they had always been. He looked over at Al who had rung the bell, but nobody answered.

"Hmm? That's strange" Rei said, as she walked up towards the door and opened it. They followed her inside, somewhat suspicious. Nina hadn't come running towards them to greet them with a smile and Alexander hadn't pounced on Ed. As they were walking down the hallway, Rei noticed a door slightly opened and saw Shou's face.

"Ah, Mr. Tucker." She said as she walked into the room with Al, Ed and Bella following her. Tucker turned in their direction.

"Oh. Look what I've created." He said standing up and gesturing towards the figure in front of him "A chimera that talks like a human." The young alchemists looked towards the creature that sat before them. Tucker leaned down and talked to the chimera.

"See these people?" he said pointing towards the lot of them, "These are Edward, Reian and Bella."

"Ed-ward……. Rei-an….." it said, "Bel-la……"

"Very good" Tucker patted his creation on it's head.

"Ver-ry good?" Ed stepped forward and leaned down to take a closer look at the chimera. It repeated their names as it wagged it's tail, happily. Where are Nina and Alexander? This isn't right at all. Bella pondered. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the chimera say something Tucker had not taught it.

"Big bro-ther……."

Suddenly, everything made sense. Why Nina and Alexander were no where to be found. Why Tucker's wife had left him two years ago. How the chimera could talk. It all made sense…………

"Mr. Tucker? When was it that you got your license for making the first chimera that spoke human words?" asked Ed.

"That was two years ago"

"And when did your wife leave you?"

"That was two years ago too……."

"Can I ask you one more question." Ed looked up, "What happened to Nina and Alexander?"

"I hate perceptive brats like you" Ed grabbed Tucker by the collar of his shirt and threw him to the wall.

"Ed!" Al and Bella yelled.

"So that's what happened! You son of a bitch! How dare you, you bastard!" Ed yelled in his face. "Two years ago it was your wife, and now you've transmuted a chimera out of your own daughter and dog!" Rei, Bella and Al looked towards the chimera as Ed continued to yell at Tucker.

"Yeah, you can only do so much with animal experimentation. So it would be a piece of cake if you used humans right!" Ed shouted. A hint a pain flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you so mad?" Tucker simply stated. "Haven't the advances mankind has made come from the results of countless experiments on human beings, to use medical science as an example? As a scientist you-" Ed interrupted him. "No frickin' way! Do you think you're going to be forgiven for doing something like this! For…. toying with human lives!" he spat out, anger and hatred dripping from his words. Tucker smiled insanely at him (Damn you Tucker! That's what I do you copycat!)

"Human lives!" he laughed insanely. "Yes! Human lives! Fullmetal Alchemist, take a look at your limbs and your little brother!" Ed was enraged. He punched Tucker hard in the face, causing his glasses to break and fall off. Blood dripped from his mouth.

"Aren't those the results of your so called 'toying with humans lives'? We're the same, you and I!" Ed faced him.

"You're wrong!" Ed shouted in his face.

"No I'm not! You saw a possibility in front of you and you just had to try it!"

"You're wrong!" Ed punched him again, causing more blood to fall from Tucker's mouth.

"and even if you knew it was banned" Tucker continued, "You couldn't stop yourself from trying it!"

"You're WRONG!" Ed shouted again. He continued to beat Tucker. "We alchemists……. would never do that……. I'd never!" He shouted as he brought his fist for the final blow, but someone grabbed his wrist. Bella had grabbed his wrist, pulled forward a little because he was stronger than her.

"Ed, you'll kill him if you hit him again." She said concerned. Ed held back tears as he turned to leave.

"Such pretty words will get you nowhere-" Tucker started. Bella turned to face him and opened her mouth to say something but Al stopped her.

"Mr. Tucker. Anymore and I'll be the one to snap." He said. They turned and walked out the door. Rei turned to Nina and bent down.

"I'm so sorry little one. We can't restore you right now, but we will find a way." She said.

The End of Chapter 5!

Extra: What Do Rei and Bella's names mean?
Well, that's a very good question, my dear readers. Rei's name, as you can guess is Japanese. Kira told me it means actress (which seems to suit Rei) and ever since then, Rei won't stop pretending she's an actress. I don't know what her real name, Reian, means, but I'll get back to you guys on that one. Bella on the other hand, is a Latin name. Why? Well, I was going to do a Japanese name but then I realized "Hey, wouldn't it be weird for an Ishbal dudette to have a Japanese name?" So I did Latin. Her real name, Bellator, means 'warrior', hence her violent ways, and Bella means 'beautiful' hence the mesmerizing deep blue eyes and soft light brown hair. So yeah, that's 'bout it.

Bella: If you have any more questions about "With These Broken Wings" you can e-mail our sponsor at or rei. Bella! Me and Kira aren't sponsors! We're the writers!
Bella: Not anymore! Me and Rei decided to take over for now!
Me: No you won't :shoves her in closet:
Bella:bangs on door: Lemme out now! I demand you let me out!
Me:sighs in relief: You know, I actually like her this way better! Hope you enjoyed Chapter 5 and we promise to get the next chapters out sooner (unless I get grounded again)
