Hey you guys here it is the 1st all FMA chapter!!!!!! whooo!! lol so I'm thinking the next one will be mostly FMA as well but since I'm planning on making it really long ill stick some Naruto into the end just to make it fair!! after that ill start mixing the two into chapters so its not all one or the other. Sounds good? cool. oh and I'm going to try and update one more time before the break is over because i won't be able to update the whole month of January due to the fact that i have finals and a whole bunch of other crap thats going to keep me busy. so if i don't update again before break is up don't expect an update till February. Well thats all i have to say, without further adu, the chapter!!!!
Edward Elric lay staring up at the ceiling in the room he and his brother, Al, were currently sharing. It wasn't much since it was one of those military owned hotels, but it was free for State Alchemists and the people there couldn't care less what you were doing, which suited Ed just fine. He'd been lying there for about two hours now but he just couldn't go to sleep, the day's events still fresh in his mind. Al had gone to drop off the bean girl and her weird cat at the Doc's house so Ed was devoid of any distractions. And so his thoughts couldn't help but wander back to all that had happened in the past few hours, try as he might to make it otherwise. It disturbed him to know just how much things had changed.
How could the corruption in the military stretch that far?
And then there was that bastard the Homunculi called "Father."
How could he use Alchemy without a transmutation circle? Well, he thought, me, Al, and sensei can use Alchemy without a circle but he didn't even have to clap his hands or anything, he didn't even have to move!!
And then Lin. He just couldn't believe what had become of Lin, or well Greed now.
And just when I'd started to like the bastard! There may still be hope for him, I know he's still in there, but for now at least, he's our enemy. Ugh! We have too many, i swear people don't like us or something.
He let out a small chuckle but sobered up the moment he thought of Winry. King Bradley, aka the Homunculus Wrath, was hanging the girl's life over him like blackmail. It seemed like the colonel and him were in the same boat when it came to the positions they held under the Fuhrer's good graces. He couldn't believe the Homunculi would stoop so low as to threaten Winry, he mentally slapped himself for thinking that, how could the Homunculi not stoop that low, it was in their nature to be evil and conniving.
But Winry...
He had to stop himself from doting too much on thoughts of her, else he might reveal to himself the depth of his feelings for her. He was totally and completely in denial.
"Brother?" boy did that scare the shit out of him. Edward must have jumped about 10 ft. in the air, a feat to make even an Olympic high jumper envious, only to land in a crumpled blonde heap on the floor. He'd been so preoccupied with his musings he didn't even hear Al enter the room, which was saying something given that he was a seven foot tall suit of armor. "Brother! Are you okay?!" Al screamed worriedly as he ran towards Ed. Looking up groggily Ed started at Al not quite comprehending.
Al?
"Al! You're back!!" relief radiated from his voice as he silently thanked luck for giving him a reprieve from his thoughts.
"Uhh...brother are you okay? Since when are you so happy to see me?"
"What are you talking about Al? I'm always happy to see you!" he definitely wasn't going to let his distraction get away now.
"Okay sure. I actually thought you'd be asleep by now."
"Nah, I couldn't sleep. How's the bean girl?"
"The Doc says she'll be fine. She's just suffering from exhaustion, she'll be fine once she gets some rest."
"Mh. And Lan Fan?" Al hesitated here, which didn't go unnoticed by Ed.
"She's recuperating, but. She didn't take the news very well. She blames herself for what happened to Lin, for not being there. She's going to get automail. She plans to finish her recuperation in only six months. She plans to best you." Ed looked pensive for a second before nodding and grinning.
"Well i wish her luck. That automail hurts like a freakin' mother." This prompted an involuntary laugh from Al which caused Ed to start laughing and soon enough they were both rolling around on the floor, laughing in a way they hadn't since they were kids. "Aww man..." Ed sighed as he propped himself against the bed and wiped the tears from his eyes, Al stayed spread out across the floor.
"Ha we haven't laughed like that in years. What do you think caused it?"
"I don't know, maybe we were just high." They had to pause for another few minutes as another bout of giggles overwhelmed them, due to Ed's inappropriate comment. Once that too had passed, they stayed where they sat, allowing themselves to regain their composure and their sanity.
"Brother, you know we have to talk to the Colonel. We need to figure out our next move."
"Ya I know, but its not going to be easy talking to him, the Homunculi are watching us both. I mean they even moved all of Mustang's subordinates to different positions."
"So how are we going to talk to him then?" Ed was thoughtful for a moment and then an evil grin spread across his face.
"I think I know how. I have a plan."

Roy Mustang sat in his office utterly bored. He couldn't believe how much he relied on his subordinates for entertainment. Plus life seemed so bleak without the beautiful Hawkeye around. And so when the phone rang, it took all he had not to scream out in relief, but of course being roy, he was completely composed when he answered.
"Roy Mustang speaking."
"Hello Mr. Mustang, " he swore he could hear someone snickering in the background.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Why you don't remember me? It's...Edwina, we met on the train, on the way to Central." There was a pause in which it seemed the voice was trying not to laugh their ass off. Finally, "You remember now, don't you Mr. Mustang?" indeed Roy understood.
"Ah yes how could i forget the lovely Miss Edwina? How may I help you?"
"Well we had such a wonderful time on the train together, and then after at the rose garden, I was wondering if you wanted to recreate the evenings."
So thats it
"Well I'd be lying if i said I hadn't thought about it. Just name the place and I'm there babe."
"I want to meet at the rose garden again. Our last visit was filled with so much havoc that it was tragic." It took Roy a second to realize the meeting place and when he did it filled him with dread.
"Are you sure that you want to go back there? I could take you anywhere."
"I'm sure you could Mr. Mustang, but I'd really like to go back there, i think it's necessary to figure out where our relationship is going, don't you?"
"I agree Miss Edwina. Very well, I'll meet you there tomorrow at eight."
"I'm looking forward to it." then a small click was heard as the phone was hung up, Mustang sighed and thought,
That gangster better be planning to pay me back...
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Stupid arrogant colonel." Ed mused as he hung up the phone.
"Well is he meeting us or not?" Al asked anxiously.
"Of course he is Al. He understood the message. Although I really want to take him down a notch! The nerve of him acting so arrogant, I can't believe he talks to women like that!" Al sweat dropped.
"Brother, you know he knew you weren't a woman."
"Ya but still! Sheesh." Al could only shake his head, slightly amused, as he headed back to the hotel, Ed still grumbling, followed.
I wonder what tomorrow will be like...
Thought Al as they walked down the dimly lit street.
