When I came too, everyone was hovering over me with worry filled eyes. "What?" I grumbled, my voice scratchy and dry. Everyone heaved a collective sigh and sat back. I tried t sit up but my muscles were far too stiff an sore to move. So I gave up and stayed on the floor with a grunt. "What happened?" I asked, trying to remember the reason for ending up passed out in Gracia's house. "We don't know, Envy came to get you for dinner and you were already out." Al Said, I gave him a nod while Thought of a reason for it.

Dinner came and went by slowly, I couldn't make myself eat due to being distracted. I just poked at my food absent mindedly while Ed tried to ease my mind. "No matter how hard you think, you're just going to kill your brain cells. Don't worry about it, we'll be sure to keep a closer eye on you." I just gave him a nod, his words going in one ear and out the other. Envy sighed and flicked my forehead, knocking me from my thoughts instantly. "Don't stress over it. We'll find out what's wrong if it happens again." I gave my own sigh and ate a bite of mashed potatoes, making Envy smirk and ruffle my hair.

The meal ended and everyone helped clear the table then headed to bed. I somehow ended up on the couch in the living room with Envy on the sofa. We laid in respective silence with me not even daring to sleep due to having a knock out earlier. Before too long though, I could hear the slow even breaths of Envy who had slipped off to sleep. Alone with my thoughts and the dark. Even though I couldn't remember the reason for passing out, I could still feel my stiff muscles and joints.

-It's as if i had been in lock jaw for a week or something.- I thought, giving my arms a stretch above my head. I let my mind drift to my parents, even though they were dead now. I couldn't help but think about their life. Were they happy? Did they leave for a reason, and if so, what wsa it? Did they ever find out about Kari? Would they have been mad or disappointed on finding out? Would they forgive me, look at me or even love me anymore? My depressing cycle went on for quite some time, spiraling down to the pits of despair. But I was brought out by a soft snore.

Envy. Even after I practically killed him on several occasions and even kept him in a box for a week. He still stayed with me. I could never think of a reason for his actions, or even guess as to why. But he helped me, grounded me when my thoughts would drive me in a corner. The palm tree never once hurt me emotionally. (Except when he committed self sacrifice, but that just pissed me off.) -I wonder why the humunculis stays? He obviously hate Ed, Al he tolerates. But he sticks to me like super glue on fingers.- I rubbed my eyes with the heels of my hands and rolled to my stomach. Guess Envy will just do whatever he wants.

Morning came and I was still up, to scared of my nigh terrors (As I have started calling them) to even get a wink of rest. Envy rolled of the sofa with a thump and sat up groggily, I guess he isn't a morning person. I rolled off the couch and joined him on the floor tugging him back to a laying position. Envy flopped down without much fight and I curled up to his side, he was a warm humuculis. I heard Edward trump down the steps and give a yawn but I refused to move from the floor. Other people started to clammer down the steps as well, all yawning and going to the kitchen for a cup of caffeine.

Envy was soon able to drag me up and to the kitchen as well, though I was a dead weight the whole way. I was promptly dumped on a chair and left while the boy grabbed a cup of coffee. Conversation was small and far between as everyone started to rid themselves of sleep, talking more as the caffeine started to invade their systems. "Yeah, I'm afraid we have to go. Colonel Mustang will have my head if he knew we came here first. " Edward said as he finished off his coffee and placed the mug in the sink. I nodded and got off my seat, Envy following behind me as I went through the door. "Then, you all have a safe trip and visit again soon." Mrs. Gracia said with little Ellisia bouncing and waving us all good bye.

Colonel Mustang. I haven't seen him since he scorched me, but I have yet to forget that. I was in for some payback. Our group piled into his office and took seats. me on an arm rest with my favorite humunculis, Ed on the other side and Al in the middle. The Colonel finished off some paper work and look up at us all, mild surprise crossing his features when his eyes landed on Envy. "Well, Fullmetal. It's about time you came around. I hear that Alphonse wants to take the State Alchemist exam this year, I hope you pass. Maybe you will surpass your brother." His silky mocking voice said with a small grin on his lips.

Edward would have snapped if I had given him the chance, though I had a few words to say to the lovely Colonel. "Greetings Colonel Hothead. Hope you don't mind me butting in, but I have a favor to ask of you." I let a mischievous smirk play on my lips as I waited for the man to give me his undivided attention. When I had it, I continued. "Would you, by chance, remember when you torched my hide?" I received a nod and went on. "Good, so, would you mind coming with me?" I asked while standing up and heading to the door.

I led everyone to the court yard that usually held the State Alchemy test. Plenty of elements and was to have a little entertainment from the Colonel. Taking the raven haired man by the elbow, I led him to the middle of the yard and told him to stay. "Ok, now. For causing me pain and because we all need a good laugh..." I clapped my hands and touched a small puddle. "Be prepared for some dodge ball." I smirked and launched three water balls at the Colonel, making him jump to the side to avoid my attack. "I see, so you think you can get the jump on me?" Mustang said, snapping his fingers and launching a fire pillar at me. "Sure as chocolate pudding."

Dodging and attacking, a deadly dance of fire and water. The three brothers stayed silent as we fought, sometimes I could hear one place a bet. I launched a small wave at the Colonel's feet causing him to jump to avoid. Giving me the opening I had been waiting for. Clapping my hands again, I summoned every drop of water I could feel. Just as Mustang started his descent to the ground, I dove a powerful tidal wave right at the man. His eyes grew wide when he saw my last attack, knowing full well that he could not even hope to avoid such a wave. "Call me Typhoon." I said in triumph as the Colonel was caught in the wave and tossed a good fifty feet.

Laughing and stumbling back to Mustangs office, everyone was talking about the fight while Edward handed Envy his money. "A good fight and a good laugh." A grumpy and dripping Colonel said as he marched to his desk. "Now to get to work. There are some murders happening over in the West, you all can go check it out while Alphonse stays and preps for the exam." I gave a nod and plopped down on the couch, too tired to say much anymore. That last attack always leaves me out of energy, though it is perfectly logical as to why.

Soon, we were all leaving Mustangs office and the military HQ, heading to a hotel to rest up for the trip in the morning. The moment I entered the room, I collapsed on the couch and already started to drift into sleep. I felt something warm around me and cuddled close to it, falling into a dreamless sleep for the first time in ages.

(A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the short chapter. I promise the next one will be much longer! Hope you enjoyed it! Leave a review with your thoughts!

Also, for Suicide Forest- I am sorry if my time line confuses you. I just kind of went and did my own thing, paying little attention to the anime as I wrote. Very sorry about that and I hope I don't confuse you anymore. Anyway, thanks for reading and always giving me a review with positive feed back!
