I don't own FMA! It's owned by the genius...uh...One minute.

Ah! Hiromu Arakawa. Yah, that's it.

Ugh, I had to re-edit this because of the stupid internet, so I hope it's correct, grammar-wise.

Thanks to xWeaselxWolfx, Rosoku, and Agemy Von Stein for reviewing! I really appreciate it!! XD

Chapter Three:
You Killed Mugiar?!

I whine as Ed looked my finger. It was bloody, and infected. It looked gross.

Cool, huh?

"Nooo! Let me go!" I complain, adding a whining tone to my voice the best I could. Hannah was shaking her head at me as Al watched Ed and me. Vercio was washing dishes, ignoring us completely. The meanie.

Ed sighs, looking at me exasperated. "Will you just relax?! If you don't stop complaining, I'll just let your finger have to get cut off." He states.

I glare at him grumpily, "Don't use that on me. I know you're just trying to scare me into calming down." Ed looks at me, annoyed, and squeeze my finger. I yelp in pain, and he looks back to my finger.

So I just continue to whine and complain. "Need some help?" Hannah asks with a smug smirk.

Ed shakes his head at her, "No!" He looks back to my finger and continues to clean it the best he could, while I kept struggling to get free of his grasp.

Ed sighs, shouting at me, "STOP MOVING!!"

I immediately get in his face, and shout back, "NO!!"

Hannah lets out a sigh this time, and stands. She walks to the counter Vercio was at, and points to the jar on a shelf above the counter, "May I?" He nods, and she grabs a cookie from the jar.

She walks over and sticks a cookie in my face. "Ooh!" I say, snatching it from her and taking a bite.

Completely ignoring Ed messing with my finger.

Russell smirks and tries not to laugh. Ed looks to Hannah with surprise, "That's all it took?!" Hannah nods simply and sits back in her chair.

He sighs, shaking his head, as he finishes cleaning the wound on my finger. Wrapping it in a band-aid, he throws the wet napkins away and sits back down at the table.

. . .

We were sitting at the table still, in light conversation with one another. Light being, we didn't talk about ourselves. "Well, I'm going to bed. . ." Hannah states after looking at the clock. It was around midnight.

Then my stomach growled.

Hannah looked to me wide-eyed, and I smiled a cheesy grin. Can you blame me? I hadn't eaten since the train! "Figures you'd be hungry. . ." Hannah mutters before going into the guest room we were staying in.

I sigh and stand to make a sandwich. As I did, I heard Ed and Al talking. Russell and Fletcher had gone to bed earlier. Well, they weren't exactly talking. They were whispering.

So, obviously, I'd feel curious right? Yes.

And so, being curious, I'd try to hear, correct? Correct.

It was only natural!

"Do you think Riley would know anything?" Al asks lightly. As I rubbed mayonnaise on my bread loaf, I could feel Al looking at me, to show Ed I was the current subject.

Ed sighs, "I doubt it. Yeah, she's an alchemist. But that doesn't mean anything Al. And besides, if we asked her, she might get suspicious. . ." I slowed down in making my sandwich, now really curious with what they were talking about.

Were they talking about the red water? Let's see. . .Red Water can be used for what. . .

Oh yeah!

The Philosopher's Stone. Why'd they want that thing? No one even knows if the myths of it's "powers" are true or not.

I let out a sigh as I drop the bread loaf on top of the sandwich, done making it. I carried it back to the table, and plopped down into my seat. "What might make me suspicious?" I ask dumbly.

Ed and Al froze a bit, looking from each other to me. But I just took a bite of my sandwich and chewed happily. The ham was pretty good!

But what ham ISN'T good?

Ed continued to stutter over his words to find an answer, so I decided to give an answer to him. "The Philosopher's Stone?" I ask simply, still with a clueless look in my eye.

Ed's eyes went wide, so I say bluntly, "Whisper lower." They both laugh nervously, and I smirk, taking another bite from my sandwich, making a mental reminder to ask Vercio where he got his ham.

"So do you know anything about it?" Ed asks seriously, looking me in the eye. I, however, was chewing.

"Brother!" Al scolds, surprised at Ed's sudden question. I had no problem with it really. Better he just asked then lie about it.

I nod at Al, "It's ok Al," I look to Ed and continue, "I don't know much. I do know that the Red Water could have made it, but that can be a real danger to people. And then there's. . ."

I trail off, thinking of what I'd say. Ed doesn't need to know, does he? Nooo. . .Well, not from me, of course.

"Carmot. Scientists believed that the stone was mainly composed of Carmot. But they've proved that Carmot no longer exists. So that's useless also."

Ed looks to the table, and the atmosphere changes to a sad one. I look from Elric to Elric curiously, and slowly stand with my sandwich in hand. "I think I'll just. . .Finish this in the bedroom." I say, rushing into the room Hannah was in.

My eyes close tighter when a light hits them suddenly. I could only groan and turn away from it. I hear a sigh, before Hannah saying, "Wake up Riley."

"Nah." I say groggily. I heard Hannah sigh, and push me a little. I just groaned and rolled over onto my side again.

"Riley, come on." Hannah whines.

"Arrghghghurglllesagh…"

Hannah stepped back at the surprising sound, and my body shook from laughter. "What the hell was that?!" She shouts loudly.

I stuck my head out of my pillow, and look to her sleepily. And in a tone as if it were obvious, I say, "Me telling you to piss off. But nicer."

She glares at me a bit, and hits me with a pillow. I start to rub the sore spot on my poor head, as she says, "Well it sounded like a horse underwater trying to talk!"

I looked to her quizzically, and after a silent second, I ask her, "So tell me Hannah. . .What exactly does a horse underwater trying to talk sound like?"

She pauses, trying to think of an answer, when Al suddenly busts into the room. I let out a scream, as I jump off my bed and hide behind it.

Al and Hannah sigh at me and Al says quickly, "Mugiar's mansion is in rubble!"

Shit.

I jumped out of the bed I was in, saying all the while, "Well, time to get up!" Hannah watched as I darted out of the room, while trying to put on my converse at the same time.

And let me tell you, not easy!

"Just a minute ago you didn't want to get out of bed!" Hannah exclaims, surprised at my sudden energy.

I look to her dumbly, and she sighs. I was standing on one foot, my other foot in one hand with my shoe in the other.

I felt like a flamingo.

"Just a minute ago I didn't know Mugiar's mansion was in rumble." I say simply.

She sends me a short glare and I finish putting my shoe on. I ran to the door, swung it open and ran outside. But remembering something VERY important, I ran back inside and pointed at Vercio.

"And when I get back, we need to talk about where you get your ham."

They all looked at me strangely, and I ran back outside the house.

. . .

My jaw was on the floor as I stared the rubble ahead of me. It was in a big heaping pile of junk, but I could still tell it was formerly Mugiar's mansion.

Ed really blew the house up!

Seeing Ed walking toward me with a smug smirk, I glare at him crazily. He stepped back, a little bit scared. "What. . .?" He asks.

I threw my arms around as I shouted, "WHAT?! You killed Mugiar!" My face contorted into a weird look, that was slightly humorous, but surprised and angry.

"I didn't kill Mugiar! I just went to destroy the red water, but things kinda got out of hand. . ." He says, rubbing the back of his neck.

I looked at him, thoroughly shocked. "Kind of?!" I hissed at him. His brow twitched slightly, but he just stood there.

"His mansion is in a 1,000,000 pieces, Mugiar's DEAD, and you're telling me it kind of got out of hand?!" I shout, still throwing my hands around wildly for extra effect.

"He killed himself!" Ed shouts, before explaining it to me.

Apparently, he was found by Mugiar, then they got in a fight. The Red Water started to explode, thanks to Ed, and Mugiar refused to leave.

. . .

Hannah and I sat at a booth in the train, while Ed and Al was in the booth facing us. They were talking to Russell and Fletcher as Hannah and I talked.

"So where are we going now that Mugiar's dead?" At Hannah's statement, I shot a glare at Ed who twitched slightly.

I smirk, and look back to Hannah, "What else? See the boss. He'll give us a new job." I cross my arms and lean back in the seat.

The train began to move, and Hannah dug into her beautiful purse. I glanced to her, curious as to what she was looking for. She took out a mirror, and I rolled my eyes.

I didn't see why people carried around make-up. It takes up space that important things could be using. But Hannah saw it different, of course.

"Hello!"

We all look up to the voice and Hannah and I looked shocked at the sight of Daisuke standing there with a huge, but stupid, smile on his face. "Who are you?" Ed asks dully.

Daisuke rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "Oh, hello. My name's Daisuke. And you are?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. I still thought he was suspicious. No way could someone be so polite.

And especially to me! How could someone know what I'm like, and still be nice?! There's just no way.

"Ed. That's my brother, Al." Ed says, motioning to Al. He then looks at Hannah and me, "You three know each other?"

Hannah nods, "Yeah, we met on the train to Xenotime."

Daisuke smiles, "Yeah," He looks to Hannah with a slight smirk, "You were the one with Mrs. Snowflake, right?"

Hannah blushes a bright red, and I snicker in the background. "Mrs. Snuffles." She corrects him under her breath, hiding behind the object of her embarrassment.

Daisuke laughs "good-heartedly" and looks to me, "And you were the one that attacked those bandits for food?"

I smirk, and nod. "And you were the one that was going to live with his grandpa? So where are you leaving Xenotime?" I ask curiously.

"Oh, I thought I'd explore Amestris, you know? Being stuck in Rush Valley all my life kind of did it's toll on me." Daisuke says, sitting in the booth next to ours.

"Oh! You lived at Rush Valley? I lived only an hour away from there!" Hannah exclaims, smiling. They then began in light conversation.

Ed and Al were playing cards already, completely ignoring us. But I was still suspicious about Daisuke.

I look around Hannah at him, and ask, "So you left your grandpa so soon? That's kind of mean, no offense, but you just got there."

Daisuke smiled at me, "You're suspicious of me, I can tell. I don't blame you, with me showing up everywhere-"

"You're too nice." I say bluntly.

Daisuke and Hannah blink at me surprised, and I shrug. Daisuke stands and says, "Well I should go back to my original seat. My friends are probably waiting."

He turned to walk off and I smile, "Yeah, tell Chad I said hi." He looked confused, but nodded and walked off.

Hannah sat still, glaring at me all the while, with her arms crossed. I look to her blankly, before turning to the Elrics' card game. "Don't turn away from me!" She shouts.

I look back at her and she says, "You totally insulted him! Instead of flirting, you decide to give him the third degree?!"

I blink, and nod simply. "Yeah. Something is fishy about him. I just don't like it." I say before turning back to the card game.

"Ugh! You're unbelievable, you know that?!" Hannah shouts.

I nod, "Yep."

And so, apparently she'd thought it'd be funny to smack me along the train ride to Central. . .

Payback's a bitch.

Be responsible. Don't Flame and Drive!

Oh! In the Chapter Title bar, here are the current translations:
"Uno! That's 1!" Uno is Spanish...Duh.
"Ni! That's 2!" Ni is Japanese. (Thanks to Aqemy Von Stein for telling me I got it wrong. I didn't realize I spelt it wrong until then :)
"Drie! That's 3!" Drie is Dutch.
I only know Spanish numbers(I blame my Kindergarten teacher!) and Japanese numbers. If I get any future numbers wrong, please tell me! I'll probably put a list of the translations like every 3 chapters, or something.

I may not write the next chapter up just yet, because not only do I want to wait to get reviews (hint, hint) but I have to update my Shippuden series.
