Recap

"Okay, so we have 45 minutes left until we have to meet Albus, so lets get going to that food you promised." Roy said, smirking at the way Ed pretended to grumble about something Roy didn't quite catch.

They walked back up Diagon Alley to a Chinese restaurant that they had passes earlier. They walked into it and came face to face with an squinty-eyed Chinese boy with a ponytail pulling his hair back into a semi spiky ponytail.

"Can I help you?" He asked, opening his eyes at the two new customers.

Chapter 5

The two alchemists looked at the boy. He wore a yellow semi-vest with a sword strapped to his back and his pants were white. For all intents and purposes he looked Chinese.

"Nice sword. Is it real?" Ed asked, gesturing at the sword. The boy gave a grin and said, "Yea, its to protect me." Ed gave him a weird look.

"From what? Its not like there's anything dangerous around here that magic wouldn't fix, right?" He asked, stepping inside with Roy after the boy gestured for them to get inside.

"From my enemies. My name is Ling and im a prin.." he said, getting cut off by a weird person with a ying-yang symbol on his mask.

"Young master, please do not disclose viable information to random people." A higher pitched voice that most definitely does not belong to a man said. Ooh, so it's a woman… Ed thought.

"Lan Fan, its alright. I have a feeling that these people are from the same world we are from. Look at their energies. They're alchemists."

Ed and Roy looked at each other, dumbfounded. Ling smirked at them and said, "Don't worry about it. We're from Xing."

"Xing? Which clan are you from?" Ed asked, his curiosity piqued. An old man walked up behind Ling and glared at them. Ed glared back. "It is none of your business, small one."

"Who are you calling so short that he has to use a booster seat to eat at a restaurant?" Ed yelled, flailing his arms round for an added emphasis.

Ling and the two newcomers looked at the smaller boy and started cracking up. "That was hilarious. So you have a Napolean complex? That's so cute. What's your names?" Ling asked, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.

Ed looked like he was about to yell again, so Roy quickly spoke up. "My name is Roy Mustang, and this here is Edward Elric." The old man looked between the two alchemists and said, "Oh, so you're the Flame alchemist and this is the Fullmetal? I didn't think they hired young ones into the army. Your country must really be desperate."

He jumped back as Edward lunged at him, easily blocking Ed's flying fists. Roy, Ling, and Lan Fan just stood to the side watching. Roy looked at Ling and asked, "So why is a prince from Xing here? I'm guessing you're a prince since you have escorts. We are here for our country, is it the same for yours?"

Ling looked at the older man and smirked. "Yea, I guess you could say that. We are looking for a stone that's supposed to make you immortal. It's called the sorcerer's stone."

Ed stopped abruptly and went flying into a table and braking it as he dropped his guard. The old man stood over him, looking smug, but Edward ignored him, and got up and ran to Ling.

"What did you say about a stone that makes you immortal?" He asked, totally forgetting about his fight. Ling opened one eye and looked at him. In the few minutes that he had known this boy, he ad shown expressions ranging from anger to happiness to excitement, and frankly, he wasn't used to people being so open.

"Why do you want to know about the stone?" Ling asked, his interest in the blonde spitfire growing. Ed looked at the Xinginian prince. I guess even here it has to come out somehow.

"When I was young, there was an…accident. I lost my arm and leg and my little brother lost his body. He's still alive, but in he's now in a metal body. So I need the stone to bring my brothers body back. So what do you know about it." Ed asked, his determination gleaming through his eyes.

Ling looked at Ed and blushed. He had never met anyone so damned cute when they're mad. And those expressive eyes, he briefly wondered what they would look like, writhing under him.

"I'll tell you, on one condition." He said, loving the last thought, but banishing it from his mind, for now. "Yea, I'll do anything, what do you want?" Ed asked, eager to restore his brother's body and right his wrongs.

"You have to go out on a date with me." He said, looping his arm around Ed's. Backing out of his arms, Ed screamed a loud, "What!" before accidentally scooting into a very shocked Roy and knocking them both into a booth. A waitress automatically popped up and said, "Welcome to Xing's, what can I get you today?"
