Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, and I never will
Okay, I took a month too make this chapter (I blame it on my Dad taking apart the computer...and that the internet wasn't working…) But anyways, I said I would clear up some questions, so here we go:
Dante does NOT play an important role at all, she is just a character that disappears after 10 seconds and never reappears, hehe. I am following the anime's sins, I don't like the manga sins as much, and it just wouldn't fit as well. And the forgotten and deadly sins are one group, but separated slightly.
K, anyways…heres the third chapter…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no way that old woman we call Lust could EVER look like a normal citizen, yet alone a human," Envy mocked as a long, curved shadow of young lady cast across the stone ground.
The woman walked into the dim lighted ally, where Envy awaited for Lust. As it turned out, he was wrong, as the lady turned out to be Lust disguised in a delicately flower decorated purple tunic and wide bellbottom jeans. After tying her hair back in a loose ponytail, she lifted her gleaming red eyes up to the now disguised Envy and gave her famous 'I-told-you-so' smirk. Lust threw on her fur lined jacket, coming down to her ankles, and started walking west.
"So…" Lust glanced back at Envy, who was too surprised to notice to move as she questioned in a returned mockish tone, "What or who are you expose to be?"
Envy examined what he had shapeshifted into, what his vision of a newly wed man was. The man had a stubby goatee, a darker blonde from his spiky hair-do. He wore a blue button-up jacket, which covered the disguise's shirt completely, except for a teal edge sticking out from underneath. His black sweat pants were growing a frayed hole on his right knee. Envy raised his now blue eyes, along with one eyebrow; flashing a cockish 'what do you think I am?'
"Never mind then…," Lust huffed, "Okay, let's set this straight; we are a newly wad couple looking to adopt a baby girl. We go by the names Solaris, which is me, and Chihiro Shoyma…"
"Where the heck did you come up with those names?"
"Their names of my favorite stuffies when I was human, okay? Now may I contu-"
A smirk appeared over 'Chihiro's' face, "What happened to them?"
"They were burned in the Ishabalan war! Now SHUT UP!" 'Solaris' took a couple seconds to calm down, and proceeded, "Our home is located in the Shin apartment building, No.9"
"Why No.9?"
"Because the apartment only has numbers divisible by four, and no one knows unless you've been or lived there. Since the apartments are ten miles away, I'm highly doubting they'll notice till we are gone."
"You really did your research, huh?" Envy leered, eyes closed cheerfully with his signature wide-mouthed grin.
"Well…I've always wanted to have my own child, since my own mother gave me her first doll…" Lust looked down at her foot, which was now on its toe twisting swiftly to distract any lurkers as her now hidden cheeks turned bright pink.
Envy's grin spread from ear-to-ear in an even more mocking pleasure, but before he could throw out another question to put on Lust's annoying list, she added quickly, "Now can we just go already? We've got a long ways to walk."
Solaris ignored her fake husband as he gave a chuckle, and followed her, now turning on Amestris Drive.
It took them three and an half hours (usually it would take 10 just to drive, as a human) before they walked up the dusted, cob-webbed stairs. A little bell hanging over the door chimed with a sweet melody as Lust's black-nailed hand embraced the doorknob, and pulled back, the door opened without a twist.
"Perfect, 12:30. Half an hour after opening, if we have any luck the child should still be here," Lust tweed in pleasure, following the tune of the miniature cow bells.
"Well, we would be earlier if you didn't need your 'beauty sleep'" Envy continued the chime, but not nearly as sweet.
"Welcome to Holywood Orphanage," a young woman greeted with a brilliant smile, on her vest was a gleaming gold pin shaped as the leaf of Amestris's famous tree, Holywood, "I am Angie, how may I be at your service?"
Lust gave a polite smile and a nod, repeated by Envy…except the smile was vicious and aimed towards a large fat white maggot crawling across Chihiro's blue sneakers, which wasn't the best idea. But before he could harm the fat worm, Solaris's foot stamped on the un-maggotified sneaker, causing 'Mr.Shoyma' to jump up. She did notice his foot twitching anxiously…
"Excuse my husband; he hates bugs so much to an extent it's scary…" Solaris explained, not so much as a fib, 'cause Envy did in fact hate bugs but showed it in an unusual performance.
Angie giggled nervously, avoiding eye contact. Instead her eyes roamed around the mess of an orphanage. The burnt orange paint was peeling off the cheaply dry walled walls, leaving chunks of dried paint on a sign advertising some kind of sweets capes. On the splintering wood floor was the large family of the maggot who almost got smushed into pulp. (Poor thing wouldn't have standed a chance!)
Solaris ignored the girl's reaction, getting quickly to the point, "We are here to see the orphan born last night in the Red Stone hospital, her name is Misha, correct?"
Angie nodded, swiftly turning on her left toes; she guided the two into a room seemingly decaded to babies. The walls and floor boards were no longer rotting. On the wall, paintings of cherry blossoms on bare beautiful branches. Adorable bubbly-eyed pandas crawled up the light brown trunks of bamboo, and some sat on soft lime green grass munching on leaves. The wonderful paintings continued into reality, the grass and carpet were identical colors, and some branches and pandas even had a 3D touch on the wall, reaching out to protect the new borns and care-free toddlers. Angie giggled more gently when one of the older children ran past singing a rant about not getting him.
She continued to walk forth, leading to an orchid crib, surrounded by many other multi-colored cribs. Inside laid a tiny baby girl, in a matching orchid blanket, sleeping peaceful. "Here you are, ma'am…." Angie glanced towards Chihiro awkwardly, "And sir…this is Misha. Do you wish some alone time with the child?"
As Angie turned to leave, giving them no choice but yes, Solaris interrupted, "Excuse me, she is perfect…we'll adopt her." She had just retrieved a glance at Misha's neck, assuring she had the Ouroboro symbol.
The girl gave a slight smile, showing she didn't want anymore time with the 'couple' of a non-talking maggot-squishing man, and the woman-she just had a feeling about her.
Angie gave no hesitation leading them to yet another room. This time the room had one huge desk to the side, covered with unfinished paper work (quite reminding Envy of Colonel Mustang's desk). This room was obviously never worked on-or at least never finished. Pale rose clumsily splattered the wood walls. But the sunny side showed there were no visible bugs.
Before anything else, Solaris had a paper-clip board shoved in her face, holding a large chunk if paper waiting to be filled out. She rubbed her now sore nose, peeking up to see the assistant leave to help another couple. Chihiro snatched it out of her hands, and started scanning it over. On the second flipped page, Solaris started to do the same.
The only thing that concerned Lust was that you needed to be wed, and even though they were pulling off their roles with flying colors, this rule could cause quite a conflict. Especially with the shapeshifting palm tree of doom playing an important role, who knows what the heck he could do to the poor innocent Angie.
Lust was beginning to be sure of a safe return, until she saw, and heard Envy start to smirk as he does when he is fired up, turning into an unstoppable destruction machine. As she read the fine print, she knew exactly what he would start, and what would have to be done….

I feel bad for the maggot, threatened by a cross dressing palm tree.
Anyways, this is NOT a EnvyxLust, that would be just…EWWW.
I promise to finish the next chapter in ATLEAST two weeks of time. I'm sorry.
