So, I'm feeling really good about how the fourth chapter turned out. I cringed at all the spelling mistakes, though. A big thanks to everyone who's read, reviewed, or faved my story. *hands out cookies*
Thanks in particular to: Infamousplot, NebulaCoyote, KingofHeartless'09, SilverMoonKitty, and anyone else I missed! Thank you all! ^_^

A/N: Okay, so for those of you who don't know, this story takes place around episode 30, so Dante is still the old woman, we've already been introduced to Wrath and Sloth, Greed's not dead...all that jazz.

Okay, so we've met two human OC's, and one of them is missing a leg. Let's get a better look at these two...
This story will be told from Josh's POV, and then it will skip over to Venge. Enjoy!

I woke up in a cold sweat, breathing hard as I jolted upright in bed. I was in the hospital. Just a dream, I thought. But it wasn't to me; to me, it was real. I remembered her so well; olive-brown eyes, auburn-brown hair, pale skin that always managed to get a sunburn. Ju was one of the guys, hanging out at the 'nerds' table even when she had the chance to ditch us for the cool crowd. I remembered the day she discovered alchemy, and how we learned it together. And then, the day she invited her old friend Raven to test out a transmutation. It was hard to believe Julia was dead; one day she was there, loud, energetic, lively, and now…on November 2nd* ,gone. Just like that.
"Ugh," I moaned, clutching the place where my leg used to be. "It hurts!"

In the course of my complaining, I managed to wake Raven up. She'd been sleeping in a chair in my room, and man did it look uncomfortable.

"Unn….hey, Josh, you awake?"

"Yeah. Sorry, I had a bad dream,"

"Oh, I'm sorry,"
"Nah, it's cool. My leg - well, what's left of it – just hurts. That's all."

"Oh,"

We were silent for a while. I didn't know what else to say to her; funny thing was, Ju was the only girl I knew how to talk to. Raven, well…that was a different story.

"Are they gonna serve breakfast yet?" I asked after hearing my stomach growl. "I'm starved,"

"You amaze me," Raven said, rolling her eyes. "Food from the hospital…how do you stand it?"

"It's a hospital," I shrugged, "Wouldn't that make it better? I mean, you know, since the goal is to get you back to normal?"

Raven facepalmed. "Whatever works,"

I tried to get out of bed, Raven coming over to help me out. "I've got this," I told her.

"You've got one leg," she pointed out, raising an eyebrow. I sighed.

"It's fine,"

"No it's not!"

"Raven – Ow!"

I didn't want her helping me out of bed – even though she'd insist. I know I lost my leg, but I could still manage!

"Ugh! Men! So stubborn!" she groaned.

"Maybe I just don't need your help!"

"Can't you just swallow your pride for once and accept my help?"

"I already told you I've got this – ahh!"

In the course of the struggle, I fell out of bed and landed right where my leg used to be.

"Ow!"

"This wouldn't have happened if you just let me help –"

"I told you I didn't need your help!" I snapped.

Her voice began to crack as she said "W-why do you have to be like that? I was only trying to help…"

"Aw, c'mon, don't start crying," I said. I didn't know how to deal with girls crying…and Rae cried easy. Bad combo.

"Heh, look at us! We're falling apart! Ju's dead, and we can't even get along. How is it that we were both friends with her?"

"Agh! I miss her!" she wailed, streams of anime-tears pouring out her eyes. Oh crap!

Wrath ran down the darkened hallway, tears streaming down his cheeks. He had had another nightmare about the Gate, and Mommy wasn't here to console him this time. In vain he rushed into her room, but her bed was empty. She was working overtime at the Fuehrer's office, so she couldn't be home for him. He whimpered as he curled into a fetal position on her bed, utterly heartbroken. Unfortunately, in the course of his antics, he had managed to wake up perhaps the two most violent homunculi in the house.

"What the hell are you whining about now, Momma's Boy?" sneered a thoroughly pissed-off Envy. Vengeance followed close behind.

"Sis!" wailed Wrath, running up and wrapping his mismatched arms around her. Vengeance looked over at Envy for answers.

"Another damn nightmare," he explained, "He gets these damn nightmares about the Gate all the time! He thinks it gives him the right to wake up everyone in the whole damn house – "

"The Gate?"

"Yeah, he grew up there. It traumatized him,"

Wrath continued to cry as he buried his face into Vengeance's torso. That's when the elder sin remembered his offense against her.

"'Sis?' Now I'm your sister? Whatever happened to 'I'm not your brother anymore,' huh?" she said, pushing him off of her. The little boy stood devastated.

"I-I-I'm sorry!" he moaned, another flood of tears releasing from his eyes. "I take it back! Please forgive me!" he fell back on the floor and curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth. Envy may have found this amusing, but the little homunculus' plea was tugging at the girl's heartstrings. Suddenly, she did the last thing anyone – including Wrath – expected.

"I think you've learned your lesson, eh Nii-san?" she said, crouching down on the floor beside him and hugging him. "It was only a dream," she reassured the boy.

"Wow! Who knew you were such a sucker for the kid?" taunted Envy.

"He got what he deserved," Venge explained, "He broke down and cried in front of me; that's plenty revenge for me,"

He shrugged. "Whatever you say,"

She continued to comfort him until he finally fell asleep.

"Wanna help me carry him back to his room En- uh, Sensei?" she asked the elder sin.

"Nope,"

"And why not?" she asked in an agitated tone.

"Because you lulled him to sleep. And besides, you could use the workout,"

Vengeance struggled to carry her brother back to his own bed without dropping him, and stormed back into Sloth's room somewhat more frustrated.

"You could've helped me, you know,"

"Yeah, but I didn't. Get over it,"

She stormed away to her own bed, annoyed at the rude gesture.

"You'd have done it if it were Lust," she called back to him.

To be continued…so, please review. If you liked it; review. If you hated it; review. If you think any of my OC's are Sues, dammit, review! PLEEEAASSSSSSEEEEEEEE!1!111!ONE!1111!UNE!11111!2!*foaming at the mouth*

*Joshua's attempt to revive Julia took place on Halloween (October 31st). Technically, this would be considered Venge's birthday.
