-----------------------------------------------Chapter 2------------------------------------------------
The door opened sending a beam of light across the small military dormitory, Al called home. Turning on the light Al walked across and fell onto his bed. Promptly a small ginger cat with black stripes sat on his chest. Smiling Al sat up against the bed head. The cat realigned its position on his lap and quickly fell asleep.
"It's been two weeks and still no sign." Sighed Al. "If you are out there brother why don't you want to be found, what could have happened." Getting up Al walked over to a small neat desk. Pulling a piece of paper towards himself Al grabbed a pen and started to fill out the report the Colonel had given him.

Sitting in his office, gun pressed to his head Roy Mustang looked up as Central's most famous tower struck its life saving twelve chimes. "Riza you can put the gun down now." Roy smiled happily. "I expect you back here in exactly 1 O'clock." Sighed his first lieutenant. Roy didn't even want to think about what would happen if he was late. Not wanting to waste a second of it Roy jumped up from his seat, grabbed his coat and ran for the door.
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Looking around for an empty bench Roy found none, sighing he walked over to the only one with a spare spot. It seemed that no one wanted to even get close to the lone figure sitting by himself happily munching on a jam doughnut. He wore a dulled red coat and even though it was a sunny day he had its hood pulled up over his head. Roy noticed something strangely familiar about the coat in question. Sitting down next to him, Roy asked "Do I know you from somewhere?" He stopped eating he turned to Roy, and Roy froze in shock.
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Ed looked at him turned back to his food and answered "Yea." Snapping out of his paralysis Roy grabbed the front of Ed's coat, bringing his face towards his. "Why haven't you come back yet?" Roy Yelled, he didn't care about the stares he was receiving. "Al cries every night" At this Ed shifted restlessly. "Because I can't." Answered Ed stiffly. "Why?" Retorted Roy angrily. Sighing Ed pulled the hood of his head letting Roy take in his appearance. Roy's eyes widened. Letting go of Ed he gasped "W Wha…H How?" "If Als crying I better go see him, but I'm not promising anything." Ed replied testily. Leading the way Roy just followed in his wake too stunned to reply.
Sitting in his office Roy seamed to have regained some of his previous compositor. "So Fullmetal, care to explain." A saddened look crossed Ed's face. "Well basically instead of giving my life for Al's as I had previously planed, it turns out the Truth took…well I suppose my 'humanity'." Looking at the sad look on his face Roy grinned, he knew how to snap Ed out of it. "Are you sure it didn't take you height as well, because you look shorter if anything." Roy smirked. Three. Two. One. Zero. "WHO ARE CALLING SO SMALL A GRAIN OF SAND WOULD FLATEN HIM?!" Edward Exploded, succeeding in only making Roy's smile widen.

In the hallway outside Roy's office Al dropped the stack of papers he was carrying. "BROTHER!" Throwing open the door to Mustang's office Al ran in. "I Heard brother, where is he!" Al gasped short on breath. Catching sight of Ed, Al ran over and promptly embraced his brother. Hugging him tight, he looked over his brother he spotted the small tattoo under his left eye, His mouth fell open. "You're a hh homunculus…" Gasped Al. Sighing Ed pulled away from his brother and started to walk towards the door. "Yea, I probably should leave." He said sadly. Walking out the door Ed was grabbed from behind. "No Nii-san, I don't care what you are you're my brother and that will never change." Letting go of his brother he continued. "After all someone has to make sure you don't become the next Envy." "I don't think that's possible." Ed said, his voice suddenly sounding strangled. Catching the change in his brother's voice Al's brow furrowed. "How come?" Al said foreboding flooding his heart. "Because I'm still alive."
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Envy was sitting on the window frame. At once everyone in the room grabbed their weapons and prepared to attack, save for Edward. "I wouldn't do that if I was you." Ed said almost conversationally sitting down on the couch once again. "Aw, Chibi-chan you spoil all the fun." Smirked Envy in mock anger. "Roy let me introduce Envy." Ed pointing at the pouting homunculus. "Envy I dare say you've already meet Roy." Continued Ed shifting his had to Roy. "Yea." Grinned Envy. "Fullmetal what is the meaning of this!" Yelled Roy looking back and forth between Envy and Ed. "How can you calmly introduce your Enemy when she's standing right in front of you. "Because he's no longer our enemy." Ed said Emphasizing the he. "How do you know FullMetal?" Roy said seductively. "Anyway." Said Ed, deciding to change the conversation away from such troubling waters. "I would like to rejoin the military if it's possible, after everything I've been through I don't think I could live a quite life." Roy tried his hardest to compress his laughter, he really did, but he couldn't quite do it. "How Snort would you be of any use to the military, you can no longer do alchemy." Ed just smirked. Raising his hand he activated the transmutation circle tattooed over his body. The red lines underneath the red coat he wore started to glow red giving the impression that it was he coat glowing not him. Snapping his fingers in a way Roy often did the papers littering Roy's desk suddenly exploded into flame.
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Everyone in the room gazed transfixed at Roy's now charred paperwork. "H…how?" Roy finally managed to gasp. Ed just pulled off the coat tighter. "I'm different." Ed said finally. "I'm the result of a successful human transmutation." Looking at Roy, Ed continued. "So can I?" Roy just nodded slowly. "Great!" Smiled Ed, he had actually smiled for the first time since becoming a Homunculus. "Oh, and can Envy stay too? He doesn't have anywhere to go." Finished Ed. Al grinned, leaning closer to Roy he whispered. "Since when did brother fall for Envy?" Ed's head snapped to him. "Sh Shut Up!" Yelled a furiously blushing Ed. "So you don't like me?" Envy suddenly said nuzzling his head against Ed's neck. "AAAHHH!" Ed yelled flinging himself against the wall panting hard. The office exploded in laughter.
