A/N: I'm really, really sorry about this late updating. A lost has happened, I had exams the past week and now this week, and then my mom grounded me. So now I'm "un-grounded" because I made a deal with my mom. She would let me keep reading only if I let her read my fics. Go ahead mom! Read all of this!!! TT sighs

Anyways, I hope you readers forgive me about the delay, but I made this chapter longer! XD!

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA, but I do own Sky (You'll know who she is XD)

Warnings: A little angsty at the end, and also there is language.

Note: You will notice some " " thingies…later on it says who is speaking but keep in mind that I put them on purpose…I think it's pretty obvious that its there on purpose D

Hope You All Enjoy! XD!

My bad luck is never going to end, is it? First of, we get to Reesembool and not just Winry is waiting there for us but Armstrong as well. Why is he even here? He has a life so why doesn't he go somewhere else and do whatever the man always does? And knowing how that man is, if he sees my little change he is going to start going over his 'in the Armstrong generation we have always praised cats' and so on. I just don't want to picture how Winry is going to react.

"Why is Armstrong here?" I whispered to Roy. He looked down at me with a surprised look.

"I thought you were mad at me." Oh that's right. How could I have forgotten?

"I am, I just want to know why he is here." He smirked but didn't answer. Stupid Mustang.

"Greetings!" Urgh, that man annoys me. He is nothing but muscles.

"Ed!" And she annoys me even more. I can't believe I'm here. Why didn't Al come? He could have had a better time staying with Winry. And I thought she was in Central…

"What are you doing here?" Was the first thing I said to her. She frowned and then answered.

"I'm happy to see you too Ed." She said sarcastically. What a pain.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, you haven't answered my question."

"I'm visiting Pinako, since some of us still care about her. Which reminds me, you and your 'troop' are staying with her." That's why I hate her.

"And where are you staying?"

"There as well to make sure you don't do something…stupid." She said as she eyed Mustang, which the man never noticed paying more attention to what Armstrong and Hughes were arguing about. Well, at least Havoc's expression makes me think that I will not be the only miserable here.

"I wouldn't do anything stupid even if you weren't here, Winry." I answered back with a growl. Not really in the mood to listen to her. I'm never in the mood to listen to her. She just loves to rant about how much she is in love with Al, pluh-eeze! I bet she is even cheating on him, but I won't say anything about it. Not really my problem to get involved with.

"C'mon, we must go so we can start early tomorrow." Roy announced before we started heading to Pinako's house.

xxxXXXxxx

"Ah, look who is here! The pipsqueak!" My life is getting so much better. Don't pay attention to her Ed; she is just trying to annoy you. Just like everyone else.

"Yeah, my life is getting so much better." I muttered as I walked passed Pinako.

xxxXXXxxx

"So Winry, were am I sleeping?" I asked her after she had given rooms to everyone else. Shouldn't Pinako be the one doing that? Armstrong stayed in one room, Hughes and Havoc-which makes me doubt about them since they are all the time together now- in another room and Roy in another room.

"Oh, I didn't give you a room? Well let's see, Roy's room has two beds so you can stay with him." She made it sound like if this were a hotel. Why couldn't I stay in the same room I always stay?

"Ha ha, not a chance."

"Well, then there's also another bed in Armstro-"

"Fine, I'll stay with that bastard." I said as I took my suitcase and headed to where Roy was. Urgh, just what I needed.

I went up stairs and hesitated before I opened the door. Mustang stopped putting his clothes on the drawers and looked to see who entered. He smile slightly before he turned back to finish. I just can't stand being mad at him all the time. But the blush that is forming now on my cheeks tells me that I'm still too embarrassed. Sigh

This is going to be hard for the both of us. Wasn't it enough for us to be together in the train?

"Are you going to stand there all day?" I heard Mustang say and I didn't notice that I had been staring at him the whole time.

"I…ummm." Yeah, great Ed, if you keep saying that all the time then he is going to think that you are crazy. I looked down before I moved towards my drawer and started arranging my clothes. I think it would be better if I stay with Armstrong…but the man annoys me! Okay, just ignore Mustang and you'll be fine.

"Ed, I'm sorry. Look, I know we shouldn't have done that but-"

"You are forgiven, I just don't want to talk to you right now." I interrupted him. I really don't want to remember why I'm mad at him and Hughes. It just adds up to my bad memories.

"Seems fair enough. I'll wait until then." He nodded and left the room. I sighed and sat on the bed. Maybe some thinking will help…Nah, some sleep is better, after so much crying…yeah, sleep is better.

xxxXXXxxx

"Are you serious he doesn't wake up if I scream? Cool! HEY ED! Ha! He didn't even move! Hilarious!" I could perfectly hear Hughes voice, but I was just too lazy to actually open my eyes or to make any movement.

"What if we take a picture of him sleeping? Let's see if he is even drooling." I don't drool!

"He doesn't drool or snores, unlike his brother. But why would you want a picture of him?" Ah, Winry…what an annoying voice to hear exactly when I wake up.

"Oh, for the other lovebird."

"He asked for it?"

"Nah, but I know he would like a picture of Ed sleeping and with his hair undone like that. Just another picture for him to add to his ultra-huge-photo album I gave him exactly on his birthday, and with a picture of Ed as a bonus." Hughes sighed; I could perfectly hear him. Then I heard the clicking of a camera.

"What are you guys doing in here?" That angelical voice, urgh! It is also annoying, but beautiful to hear. Aargh! Not thinking that again!

"Well you see we are taking pictures of Ed sleeping…for you my friend."

"What? No, give me that camera. If Ed finds out about this he will not think about forgiving us again. Now give me the camera Hughes." He was whispering and I could tell that he was trying very hard not to wake me up.

"No! Don't break it Roy!" But of course, Hughes had to yell. I couldn't stand it anymore and opened my eyes and started rubbing them as I moved into a sitting position. I looked around and saw Hughes near the bed and Winry behind him chuckling as Roy burned the camera.

"Ah! Why did you do that?!" Hughes ran towards the ashes and knelt down before he took it between his hands making crying sounds.

"Because it was starting to get annoying." I answered Hughes question. They all turned to look at me, obviously not aware of my now awake presence.

"I thought it would take us all morning to wake you up. Come, breakfast is ready." Winry said before she left the room. Breakfast? I looked outside and noticed that it was very sunny. I slept a whole day? Awesome!

"Aaaaaah, breaaaakfaaaaast!!!" I almost drooled for thinking about food. It even made my stomach growl in response about needing food.

I stood up and left the room following behind Winry. Yes, I could smell the now well-made pancakes, the fresh bread, the cooked eggs… and oh God knows what else.

I didn't even bothered to wait for the rest to arrive, I just sat down and made myself a favor and started feeding myself. First, two plates of scrabbled eggs. Then, four pieces of bread, then the great and delicious pancakes with sweet honey. YAY! Food, food, food!!!

"Ah! Ed, don't finish it all! There are some other people here to feed!" Yeah, yeah, whatever.

"Wow, he sure is hungry." Ah! Shut up people! I'm trying to win this fight against the food, heh!

"Ed! Jeez, someone do something about this animal." Hey! I'm no animal, even if the food is really good. I'm just hungry!

I was about to go for a third plate of scrabbled eggs when suddenly, someone took my plate away from me! NO!

"AH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I looked up to see a smirking Mustang, how unusual. I knew that sooner or later he was going to do something stupid, like taking away my food!

"I'll give it back until you drink your milk. Otherwise you are going to choke if you don't drink something and keep eating like that." My eye twitched at the mention of … yeah.

"I'm so not drinking that disgusting thing." I said as I crossed my arms over my chest and frowned at him.

"Fine, then you won't eat anything else and we will be leaving." He gave the plate to Winry, grabbed my arm and pulled me off the chair heading toward the door.

"But I want to eat! I'm hungry! I'm going to die if I don't eat enough food!"

"And he is also going to stay short if he doesn't feed himself, Roy." I turned around as Hughes said this.

"Yeah! So-hey! Who are you calling short!!!" They all sighed and started walking again. I tried to stay quiet ad keeping my gaze to the road, but having Mustang beside me was actually very hard not to look his way.

"So…where are we going?" I asked, not really realizing why we had to leave so early.

"While you were sleeping yesterday all day, we actually did some search around here so we have some leads now." Answered Mustang casually but with a teasing tone. How annoying indeed.

"Care to share what you have?"

"We realized that there's a festival going on so we headed there and started questioning people." He stopped as he 'tried' to fix his sexy, messy hair.

"And then…?"

"Some people remember seeing a boy and a girl together, saying that they couldn't remember their faces from around here taking a guess they were tourists."

"Then how are you sure it's them?" I interrupted.

"Well, according to the description the town people gave us; the boy had black hair, and blue eyes. The girl having long red hair, and having an amazing but unusual, a blue and a green eye. Both dressed in rags." I tried to remember perfectly the description the Fuhrer gave us about her daughter and the boyfriend. Then I remembered the Fuhrer saying how her daughter had a blue and a green eye. But then again…

"But how are we sure it's them? I mean if I remember, the daughter has black hair and the boyfriend blond hair. How does that match with the description?" Mustang looked down at me and smirked.

"That is what we are going to find out."

xxxXXXxxx

"Ummm…okay, so how are we going to find them?" I asked not really understanding the whole point about this.

"Do you remember the festival at this time of the year?" He asked changing the subject. What a bastard.

"(1) Yeah, it's the August Festival. A guy is always chosen to be the 'bull' in other words. He has to dress something like a bull but the whole custom is made of fireworks, which at some point he has to light them all and he has to chase the town people. But only inside the plaza, he can't go out, that's the only rule…kind of. Some people get hurt but nothing serious. It is kind of fun. Then there are a lot of little markets all over the streets, surrounding the plaza. I used to go with Al, but ever since Mom died…" I didn't finish the sentence, leaving them to use their imagination and guess the end of my unfinished sentence. Roy cleared his throat, obviously trying to change the mood as he spoke.

"Well, if you were a tourist and the festival is held until nightfall, where would you go?" I tried to think. But it was very hard to know where to go a this time of the year here in Reesembool, and since I know every single place here…well, let just say that it makes it harder to know where exactly in a tourist point of view. Okay, so let's see…if I came here with the person I love ptss! Roy would be fitted for the image!

"Who said that?!" I asked out loud looking at everyone as they looked at me confused.

"Who said what?" Hughes asked. They can't hear me Ed, heh!

"THAT! Did you hear it?!" They all frowned and started walking again. Stop it Edward, or they'll think you are crazy 'They already think I'm crazy' I thought back. 'Who are you anyways? How can I hear you without seeing you or whatever?' that is because I'm your conscience, Ed. Oh, that makes perfect sense. 'Well, then stay quiet for right now.' I didn't hear a response so I guessed my 'conscience' understood.

Thinking about Mustang's question I started to think about where to go if I were a tourist.

"I would probably go near the river to swim or have a picnic or stay in the hotel." what a perverted mind you have, Edward! Ha ha! 'I told you to shut up!'

"How romantic!" I glared at Hughes and looked back at Roy. Oh, so it's 'Roy' now? 'I'm warning you!'

"Well, then lets head towards the river then."

xxxXXXxxx

So what are you going to do now? 'I don't want to speak to you right now, and I'm not even sure what you are referring to.' So here I am fighting with my conscience while the rest stay quiet, trying to listen something that will tell them that the Fuhrer's daughter is here.

You DO know what I'm talking about. You just don't want to face the fact that you love him and he loves you, especially with that cute little cat face

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT!"

"Shh! Jeez, no one called you short!" Mustang growled before he turned back. 'Oh yes, he sure loves me conscience. Hey, can I name you? I don't want to call you conscience anymore, it freaks me out.' Sure, what's my new name? 'Nah, you will stay as conscience' …I can't believe I'm your conscience 'And I can't believe I have an annoying conscience'

"Hey, do you hear that?" Mustang stopped and looked around.

"What? You also have a conscience that won't shut up?" He eyed me and then shook his head.

"No, I hear laughter." The rest stopped and tried to listen the 'laughter' Mustang was referring to.

"I think I hear it coming from over here." Hughes said as he started moving some bushes out of his way.

"Well, I don't hear a thing." 'Especially when some 'conscience' won't shut up!' I added in my mind.

"I see someone." We heard Hughes whisper. We all started walking to were Hughes went and soon after I saw a girl playing inside the river and soon after a boy joined her.

"I can't wait to take this thing off." I heard the boy said as he started to wash his black hair. After he finished he looked up at the girl who already finished washing her no longer red hair and ended up being black. I gasped as I saw who the boy was.

"Russell?" I said a little too loud. The boy stopped and looked at my direction.

"What's wrong?" The girl asked him. The boy frowned still looking at Ed's hide out.

"Oh fuck! It is Russell!" I spoke again. The girl turned around to see were Russell gaze was and then asked him,

"What's wrong?" Russell didn't waste another second and took the girl's hand and dragged her out of the river.

"They found us!" They started running deep into the forest not really knowing where they were heading, obviously.

"Hey! Wait up!" I yelled back and started running to catch up to them but then stopped as I got near the river. 'I have to cross it in order to get to them, right?' Good, you are thinking! I hesitated before I entered the river and started 'swimming' to the other side.

"Fullmetal!" I heard Mustang yell at me but I couldn't turn around, I had to keep going.

"Fullmetal! I'm ordering you to stay where you are!" I heard him yell again as I reached the other side of the river. I dropped my now drenched coat and my black jacket before running towards Russell again.

"FULLMETAL!" Yeah, he is going to be so pissed off when I see him again, IF I see him again, heh!

I kept running until I could make the figure of Russell and the girl.

"Russell! Wait! It's me! Ed!" I yelled trying to make him stop but he kept running. Aargh! That boy! I tried to run faster and just as I had him right in front of me I jumped on him making him fall. He let go of the girl's hand before he twisted rapidly before he landed on the floor on his back making me move in front of him, who knows how I managed that.

Once on the floor I moved a little to see Russell underneath me, frowning. But then his expression changed to shock at the same time the girl started screaming. I looked up to see what made the girl scream but she was staring at me with her hand covering her mouth. I looked back down at Russell as I noticed a blush on his face. I started to blush too and then moved myself away from with and stood up.

"Why didn't you stop? I'm not going to harm you, ya know?" I yelled at him as I looked at the girl again, who fell as soon as I stared at her.

"Ed? Is that you?" Russell asked carefully. I sighed and nodded.

"Who else?" I said annoyed.

"But…you are a…ummm…" I looked at the blond and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a what?" I asked him still annoyed.

"A chimera." I sighed again as I realized that I dropped at the river the only thing keeping my little secret covered.

"Yeah, I'll explain later. Now, I want answers. What are you doing here and why were you running away?" Russell looked puzzled and grinned at me.

"I was running because you scared me." I choked a laugh and stared at him.

"You, scared of me? That's a new one."

"Well, I never believed in dwarves but as soon as I saw you I changed my mind."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING-" Before I could finish I got hit on the head.

"Ow!" I looked back to see who hit me and saw the girl with a rock on her hands.

"We are not going back!" She yelled at me as she started hitting my head again with the rock.

"Sky! Stop!" Russell yelled at the girl to stop. She hit me one more time before she stopped. But that last hit, hit me on a nerve making me pass out. The only thing I remembered was seeing a blue and a green eye.

xxxXXXxxx

"Mother! Mother!" We yelled as soon as we saw her lying on the floor. We had dropped the baskets in order to check if she was alright.

"Mother! Mother!" The dream suddenly changed when I knelt beside her.

I was in a forest now, it seemed as if I were lost.

"Edward!" I turned around to see who had called my name but I couldn't see very well. It looked like if it was night already. I tried to move forward but my feet wouldn't move.

"Hello?" I yelled back at the voice that spoke a minute ago.

"Edward!" I heard the voice again. It was a man yelling my name, but I couldn't remember that voice.

"Edward!" I heard him yell my name again. I looked over my shoulder and saw someone standing behind me. I turned around and found…Roy? He had a smile on his face as he extended his hand for me to take it, but it was too far away for my reach. I tried to move forward again but my feet still wouldn't respond to my command. I looked down to see if something was holding me and saw only darkness. I looked up at Roy again and he was no longer smiling. He was backing away from me, but why? He then looked passed me and noticed as his expression changed to pure horror. I looked behind me and saw another figure approaching me. I tried to back away noticing that the creature was far taller than me. My heart started pounding rapidly and I could swear that the creature could hear it beat loudly. I looked behind me to look at Roy. I wanted to scream at what I saw in front of me. There was Envy, standing behind Roy grinning at me like a sadist. As his grin started getting wider, Roy started looking paler. I looked carefully at Roy and noticed that he had a…katana, thrust from the back to the front, blood spilling from his torso. He put his hands around the wound trying to make the blood stop spilling, but Envy took the katana fast enough making Roy drop to his knees. Then I realized that it was not a real katana Envy had been using, but his hand in shape of a katana. I had the urge to scream as I witnessed all of this. Tears started forming in my eyes and making its way down my cheeks. I tried to swallow but couldn't, feeling my throat dry with nothing to swallow, not even my scream that still lingered deep in my throat. I tried to move again but still couldn't, the darkness wrapped around my legs. I looked up at Roy and stared at his face. The more I stared at him, the more need I had to scream, to run towards him, and cry harder at the same time. Envy was no longer behind him and I looked around to see where he was, but couldn't find him. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling me by my braid and I turned around to see Envy behind me now.

"Why are you crying? Isn't that for babies?" He laughed maliciously.

"I don't understand why you are even bothering! You were the one who asked me to murder him! You told me you wanted to watch him die!!!" Envy yelled in my ear and I shivered. I started shaking my head in denial.

"No, I never asked for that…I wouldn't have." I whispered, as my voice broke, unable to speak a little louder. Envy screamed in my ear again as he pushed me to the floor; the darkness now holding my whole body down as I tried to break away from it, but couldn't. I looked up again, still finding Roy on his knees and blood still spilling out from his torso. He looked at me apologetically as Envy reappeared from behind him, turned his hand into a katana again and prepared to make his last strike.

"Edward…RUN!" He yelled before Envy cut off his head.

"NO! ROY!"

xxxXXXxxx

"NO! ROY!" I screamed as hard as I could. Sweat dripping from my forehead and body. I started breathing hard and couldn't calm myself. I was still shaking when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jerked away falling from the bed but quickly standing up and backing away until I bumped into the corner of the room. I took notice of my surroundings and noticed that I was no longer in the forest but in Pinako's house. I noticed then that everyone was in the room looking at me with a worried face. Roy was near the bed. Hughes, Havoc, Winry, Russell and Pinako standing near the doorway.

"Ed? Are you okay?" Winry spoke first. I tried to nod, but the images of my nightmare were still fresh on my mind.

"Ed?" Winry moved forward and I screamed again, feeling nauseous now. My legs were weak and I could barely stand, but at the very thought of dropping to my knees made me remember the way Roy had in my nightmare. It made me remember how Envy killed him. I started breathing heavily again and Winry took another step forward. I screamed again, but this time harder as I put my hands around my head. I felt myself falling but strong arms held me and prevent me from falling. Once I stopped screaming I looked up to see Roy holding me.

"Ed, it's okay. I'm here." He said smoothly with a worried look on his face.

"Roy?" The man nodded and I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. I removed my hands from my head and hugged the man tightly; afraid that he might disappear once I let go of him. He moved me towards the bed and made me lay down. I looked around and noticed that everyone else had left.

Once I lay down he turned to leave but I grabbed his hand and stopped him. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"S-stay…p-please." He didn't say anything else; he just moved near me and lay down beside me. I held on tight on him again and rested my head on his chest as he started stroking my hair and cat ears to calm me down.

"Don't worry, I'm here now and I won't be going anywhere. I'll stay here." He promised me before I drifted to a dreamless sleep.

1-There is actually a festival in August here in Mexico. I couldn't remember the name but the description and everything is not made up. I don't know if this is a tradition in all Mexican States but the one held in Michoacan (a Mexican state) it is a tradition for every August and it's exactly as the description.
