Yaoi: Alright, chapter 9! XD I made this chapter right before even chapter 2 was posted. You can sit and think about how that is possible since this chapter was just now posted. XDDDDDD

Disclaimer: I no own!

Warning: Yaoi (BOY ON BOY…don't like don't read…And don't flame me because you did for I have warned you!)

Pairing: RoyxEd

Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed from outside making the lights inside seem dim, and rain pounded against the house as Winry moved nervously around her living room. She was worried over Ed's safety since the minute he had left her sight yesterday as she waited on Roy to show up. The only thing she didn't want to deal with was….

"Excuse me, Miss Rockbell?" A tall man with short black hair entered her front door and was completely dry even though it was pouring cats and dogs outside.

"Yes, how may I help you?" Winry asked in her professional tone as she looked the man up and down warily. She was thinking this was the fake Roy for no woman was with him. She inwardly sighed as she had to deal with the thing she didn't want to deal with.

"Well, my name is Roy Mustang and I am looking for Ed. Have you seen him?" He asked in a business tone which led Winry to truly believe that this was the fake Roy because the little time she had met Roy the man never once called Ed by his name it was always Fullmetal.

"Not since last month. Do you perhaps have Hawkeye with you?" Winry blurted out with a forced smile. She thought to ask the question to really make sure that her hunch is right.

"Hm…I see. No, I do not. She's back at central." The lie fell too easily from the other's lips that Winry could help but inwardly sneer at him.

"Oh…Well, besides wanting to know about Ed is there anything else I can help you with?" Winry tried to ask in the sweetest voice that she could manage along with a smile.

"Nah, I'll just go." Roy said as he turned to leave with a grimace on his face.

"Wait, I do remember him telling me to tell you this one sentence. 'The shrimp went to play in its old house.' He said you'd know what he meant." Winry told the lie while keeping her smile though she was smirking in her head.

"Hm…Thanks." He said as he left with a victorious smirk on his face.

'He fell for it. He really did!' She inwardly cheered as she danced around the room while laughing.

She stopped dancing when she heard a throat being cleared at her door.

"Winry, I presume?" A man asked as he shook his slightly wet hair as he and a blonde woman walked in.

"I am she. Roy and Hawkeye, am I correct?" She questioned as she fully turned to face them and walked over to address the two correctly.

"We are." Hawkeye informed with a straight professional face while she sat the damp umbrella by the door.

"Looking for Ed, I take it?" Winry asked nonchalantly while trying her hardest to hide a smirk.

"Yes, how'd you know?" Roy asked confused as he knew Winry couldn't possible know of Ed's disappearance unless said blonde had really been here.

"You don't really know me, so why else would you come besides to find Ed." Winry half lied half told the truth with a shrug of her shoulders as if the sentence wasn't truly important to be said.

"Hm." Roy hummed in agreement as he inwardly sight. He truthfully doubted that Winry would know where Ed was, let alone know what had happened to his Ed.

"Mustang." A tall muscular man addressed as he entered the house just as wet at Roy had been.

"Yes, Armstrong?" Roy asked slightly annoyed that the blonde man had interrupted his future leave.

"Find anything out yet?" He asked as he walked over to the three with twinkling stars following his head as he walked.

"No, we just got here." Roy informed in a deadpan voice but inside he was beating his head upon a brick wall in annoyance.

"Getting information is simple, Colonel. Miss Rockbell, do you know anything about the whereabouts of young Fullmetal?" Armstrong asked as he let his eyes shine in slight hope and enthusiasm.

"To his exact location, I am unsure of, but he is in town." Winry informed and she didn't miss Roy's eyes lighten up in happiness and hope.

"Did he come here?" Roy asked as he began to think of places Ed could be.

"He did. He told me to tell you something." Winry informed and motioned for Roy to lean down so she could whisper in his ear.

"'The shrimp had been here, but left to play in the dirt.'" She whispered with a slight smirk and when she pulled back she noticed the smile upon Roy's face.

"What is it, sir?" Hawkeye asked in confusion at the smile upon Roy's face.

"I know where Fullmetal is." Roy announced as he turned to Hawkeye with the smile sill upon his face.

"Wha? Where?" Armstrong interrupted in shock and impatience.

"Long story short, it's this place a little way off from here. He'd told me about it after he'd fought Crowley's creation, Elma, and some golems made by the man." Roy explained as he felt his smile grow into a full blown grin. He was going to have his Ed back and nothing can or will stop him.

"Then what are we waiting on? Let's go." Hawkeye said as she looked at the other two with a smile before turning around and started towards the door.

"Wait." Winry quickly stopped them and nervously twitched as they looked at her. "There's a fake Roy out there. Ed knew about him and told me to send him to his old house. Also, Ed…he…uh…he isn't himself." She informed and Roy's eyes widened at the mention of a fake Roy and then narrowed when Winry had spoke ill of Ed.

"The fake Roy has to be Envy, sir." Hawkeye stated the obvious and Roy nodded his head while closing his eyes to cover the roll of them.

"What do you mean by 'he isn't himself,' Miss Rockbell?" Roy questioned as he glared the blonde girl down.

"I mean, if you see a blonde Ed, it's not Ed, it's someone else. Ed's personality is the same though, but…" Winry explained but stopped mid-sentence in fear to complete it.

"But?" Roy inquired as he pushed Winry to continue.

"But his looks are different." Winry informed as a frown graced her lips.

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Roy was now totally confused as his eyebrows knitted together to show his confusion.

"When you see him, you'll understand. But please don't leave for at least about an hour." Winry pleaded as she let her eyes shine and her lips pout in a begging type manner.

"I guess we can wait an hour. Armstrong, please go get Scar and tell him what we're doing. He may come in but he has to behave." Roy ordered and Armstrong saluted him before rushing out the door into the now light drizzly.

"Scar is with y'all?" Winry asked in disbelief as she watched the door close.

"Yeah, he's helping us. Before you ask, it's a long story that I will not be explaining." Roy enlightened her as he took a seat on the couch right when Armstrong and Scar walked in.

"I really hate to wait an hour, but I guess with Envy out there, it's better safe than sorry." Scar complained as he took the seat across from the couch.

"I agree." Roy mumbled as he sighed and placed his cheek in his hand with his elbow on the armrest.

"Would anyone care for something to drink or some snacks?" Winry offered as she watched Hawkeye take a seat beside Roy and Armstrong take a seat in the other chair.

"That would be greatly appreciated." Armstrong said with a smile even though his mouth wasn't open and his mustache covered most of it, Winry could see it.

"Then, I'll be back in a minute." Winry said as she dismissed herself to the kitchen.

'In an hour, I will have my Ed and I will not let him go.' Roy thought as he looked outside at the rain that had just picked up again. He hoped the rain wasn't an omen for something bad to come.
