A/N: Here is chapter two! I went home early because I had a tiny piece of a contact lens stuck in my eye and it made my eye irritated. Now, I can't wear contacts. I took a nap and decided to write this then read my new Mortal Instruments book!

So review and enjoy~

Soul, Tsubaki, Black Star, Kid, Liz, and Patty were standing around Maka as she slept on the couch. When Maka didn't come back to school, Tsubaki and Kid suggested they should go check on her. Soul was going to check on her anyway, but everyone else wanted to come.

They didn't expect to find a sleeping Maka who was clutching the phone in her hand like it was her lifeline. Soul shook Maka's shoulder and she opened her eyes in alarm. "W-what happened? Did I go to sleep?" she murmured sleepily.

"Yeah, you never came back to class after Lord Death called you into his office. What did he need anyway?" Liz inquired. Maka quickly explained about the demon horse and how he was in the parts of Resembool and Central. "He wants to send us to that area and check if the legend is true. If it is then we have to kill it."

"But why did he request you alone?" Black Star asked annoyed. How come Lord Death didn't request the presence of him, the man who would surpass god one day?

Maka fidgeted in her seat and Soul could tell from that action that she was going to lie or she was nervous. "H-he just assumed that since I read a lot of books I would have read any info about the demon horse, Nam. Yea, that's it."

Black Star, who was extremely dense, didn't notice the quick and easy lie she came up with. Something weird was happening to Maka. Soul knew she acted different after the battle with Asura, but why is she lying to her friends and falling asleep in class?

Tsubaki was explaining to Maka what they did in class today when the phone rang. Maka picked up the phone quickly and answered. "Hello?"

"…"

"Ok, we should check there first. She wouldn't answer."

"…"

"I'm not stupid! I know that already! Bye."

Maka hung up the phone and sighed again. Today was not her day. Edward just called again and explained that he couldn't get hold of Winry either and he said tomorrow they should check Resembool out first to make sure everyone was ok and didn't go into the madness. She was worried that Winry and her other friends in Resembool maybe going mad right now.

"Who was that Maka?" Soul asked eyeing her suspiciously.

"A childhood friend of mine. "She answered simply. No details into who this childhood friend is. Everyone said goodbye and they left Maka and Soul's apartment. For the rest of the night, Soul didn't ask Maka questions about her weird behavior, but he would definitely find out the reason for her behavior.

*( Next Day)*

"Maka, wake up! Maka!" Professor Stein said. Maka's head shot up. 'I was sleeping in class again? Dammit!' she scolded herself. "Maka and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki, and Kid, Liz, and Patty report to Lord Death's room right now."

The ones who were called got up and headed to Lord Death's room. None of them really spoke except Black Star. When they entered Lord Death's room, they saw three people in there. One of them was a metal suit of armor. The second person was a man with a blue military uniform on and black hair. He was quiet handsome actually the girls in the room thought.

The last person was a boy with a pony tail. His hair looked golden. He had on a black jacket, pants, and boots. 'Is that…?' Maka thought.

"Father, who are these people?" Kid asked. The two men and the suit of armor turned around. Ed's eyes widened when he saw Maka.

"Eddy?" Maka stepped forward and ran towards Ed. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Even though Maka couldn't see it, everyone else in the room could see Edward's blush appearing on his face. It annoyed Soul for a reason he just couldn't place.

"Maka, is that you?" the suit of armor asked. Maka let go of Ed and ran and hugged the suit of armor. "Al, it's you! How are you?" she squealed. Ed and Al chuckled at Maka's behavior while Mustang looked at them very amused. Lord Death cleared his throat.

"Hello! Hello! I'm glad all of you could come! Now I can explain. It seems Maka is already acquainted with them…" Lord Death introduced the man in the blue uniform has Colonel Roy Mustang. He then introduced Edward and Alphonse Elric. "Now, the reason why you were called here is because of the demon horse called Nam was released. It has been released for several years now, but it just now grew stronger for it to leave the cave it was once in to spread the madness.

This opponent is fast and very strong. I'm sending you guys to Central where the horse has been spotted. Any questions?"

"Just one…" Roy Mustang said. "How come Nam mentioned killing Maka and Edward?" Everyone's eyes landed on Edward and Maka. 'Dammit Mustang!' Edward thought. He looked over to Maka nervously, who was doing the same thing. A look passed between the two that said, 'Do we tell or keep quiet?'

"That is highly unusual. Maka…? Lord Death said as he looked Maka over and noticed how nervous she was. "Maka, you don't look too well. Is something wrong?"

Maka was having a mental battle with herself. She knew that this promise would put her friends in danger. "Well, Lord Death you see…"

"You see, I am the Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. I am very popular around Central so maybe Nam heard about me and wanted to challenge me. And Lord Death you said it yourself that Maka was an excellent scythe meister. Obviously Nam wants to challenge us because of our popularity!" Edward sent a smug look in Maka's direction and she growled. He was still the cocky guy she knew as a kid.

Maka realized he hadn't changed that much. He grew a little bit, but he was the same Ed. She was a little disappointed that Al hadn't gotten his body back yet. Maybe after this whole thing with Nam blew over she could…

"I guess that is true…" Lord Death said skeptically. "Well, anyway you guys are to be on your way to Central. Go home and pack your things and meet at the train station. Peace out!" The mirror rippled and Lord Death's image faded.

"Yahoo! Let's go kick some demon but!" Black Star yelled enthusiastically. He ran from the room and back into the academy. Everyone else sighed and walked back into the academy to get ready for the fight with Nam.

Maka was about to leave until Edward pulled her back. "Maka, we need to talk right now."
