Hey guys I would've started this earlier but I had to go to the Phsych Ward and oh what fun that was XD. It was horrible!
Alright back to the chapter. We left off with a dreaming Fright.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or its characters.
Do you remember little Homunculus? The Truth's voice echos through my head, maybe I'm still dreaming.
You are, but not entirely.
"What do you want? Haven't you bothered me enough for one lifetime."
I hear a chuckle.
Don't you want to remember your life? Or should I say, hers.
"Will you shut up and leave me the hell alone already!"
Then a memory, or maybe it's a dream surfaces from the dark spots in the corners of my eyes.
I'm walking dpwn a dirt road in town called Dublith. I have no control of the body I'm in. It's not even mine.
What's going on?
"Hey Curtis!"
The body turns and waves. "Hey!"
That isn't my voice. Who are you?
"Your mother is looking for you. If I were you, I would hurry."
"Alright. Thanks."
My...mother...
Could this be the person I used to be? Why am I remembering her now?
This is...her memory. Not mine.
I walk to a house. It looks so nice. The yard is well kept and the paint on the home looks as if it were built yesterday.
Suddenly, a pot is hurled in my direction. I, or whoever I am, dodges the pot.
"Nice throw Okaasan!" the girl says. She scratches the back of her head. "You almost got me there."
Who are you people! I try to scream. Make it stop! Just make it stop!
But, no one hears the words I'm yelling. They aren't even aware of my presence.
A woman exits the house. She has black hair in tiny micro braids. She has a tatoo on her chest of something that I cannot make out. She is wearing a long, sleeveless white jacket that exposed her chest.
Her expression softened when she looked at her daughter.
"It's a good thing you acctually learned something from your training." The woman says.
The girl chuckled. "Where is Ototo-kun?"
"He's in his room sulking," the woman laughed, "you know he starts school tomorrow."
The girl laughs with her mother. "Poor Ototo-kun."
Stop laughing! I-it's not fair! Shut up! Once again, they do not hear me.
"Hey, Izumi! We need a bit of help!" A group of men call. "Can you help us with your alchemy."
That woman is an alchemist? She isn't in military uniform, nor does she seem to have a pocketwatch. Could she just be one that avoids the military?
"Sure!" Izumi, who apparently is this girl's mother, starts toward the group of men. "It's getting dark. Could you get your brother to sleep for me, I might be late."
"Sure Ookasan. Be careful."
The girl walks intp the house, up a flight of stairs, and opens a door at the end of a hall.
In the room is a boy with black shoulder length hair that covered one of his eyes. He is still young probably around 12 years old.
"Nii-chan!" the boy ran and embraced the girl.
"Ototo-kun." the girl smiled and returned the embrace. After he released her she ruffled his hair.
"Nii-chan!" the boy whined.
She chuckled. "C'mon it's time for bed kiddo. You have a big day tomorrow."
"But I'm not tired." Then his face lit up. "I-if get ready for bed will you sing for me?"
She smiled and nodded.
The boy ran out of the room and the sound of running water was heard as the young boy prepared for bed. He ran back into the room, jumping onto the bed and burying himself beneath the blankets.
The girl sits down on the end of the bed, streatching her arms behind her for support as she slightly leans back. Taking a deep breathe she starts to sing a familiar song.

The boy had drifted to sleep. The girl smiled and kissed his forehead.
That song. Her voice. It was...mine. B-but, does that mean this girl is
Suddenly the memory fades to black as I am forced out of the scene.
You are correct. That was once you. The Truth states.
Envy POV
I had been watching Chibi for a while. She had started murmering in her sleep.
Could she be having a nightmare? I wonder.
She started shaking.
"Stop laughing." She said in a hushed tone.
"I-it's not fair."
"Shut up!"
She silences again.
"That song. Her voice. It was...mine. B-but does that mean this girl is-"
She gasps and jolts awake, clutching her chest tightly.
"Chibi?"
"I'm fine." she grimaces. Blood flowed out of the right corner of her mouth. She coughs and it splatters across the seat.
I sigh. "No you're not."
I move to the bench she is sitting on and sit beside her.
"Baka Chibi. Lay back and clam down. You know if you die it takes too long for you to regenerate."
"I-i know. Sorry Envy." She leans back so her head is propped against my shoulder. During her training we learned she recovers from her attacks faster if her upper body is slightly raised.
"Try to calm down. It'll slow your heart rate."
She nods slightly and closes her eyes.
Fright's POV
I slow down my breathing and feel the pain recede from my chest. I find myself falling asleep again.
Oh well, as long as the Truth stays away from my dreams.
Why do I end up in pain after I see that out of control fortune cookie?...Now I want a fortune cookie.
5 Hours Later Still Fright POV
I streach and arch my back slightly. We had arrived at the last station closest to Lior. Unfortunantly, that still means we have to walk through the desert.
I have a doom moment, seeing as I really hate the desert. I would know because I have had to make the journey too many times over the past year. After I completed my training with Envy, Dante would send us to check on Lust and Gluttony's stituation in Lior.
Because she is a bitch and likes to see me suffer. I'm sure thats why she sends me here. I love seeing Lust, don't get me wrong, but I HATE this place. It's like hell. And not the fun one.
-Gomen! Gomen! I had to put that there. It's an inside joke between me and my friends.-
"Oi! Chibi-chan!" I turn and see Envy at the exit of the station and grimace. He smirks at my torture. Oh, he gonna be a dead sadistic Palmtree. "Time to go!"
I growl at him. I feel like firing my lazer. -Gomen! Another inside joke. It means she's pissed and feels like ranting. Watch the Lazer Collection 1-3 on youtube if you haven't before. It's funny.-
"Oh, is Chibi-chan upset?"
I must say handled this situation in a very adult-like manner.
"FUCK YOU!" I yell while flipping him off.
Alright, so it wasn't that adult-like.
He chuckles while I swiftly walk outside into the blistering heat.
"Chibi-chan."
"What?" I hiss.
"That isn't the way to Lior."
I faceplant into the sand and lay there.
"Are you getting up?" He pokes me in the ribs with his foot.
"Dun wanna." comes my muffled voice, thanks to the sand.
"Don't make me carry you."
"Nooo. Dun wanna move."
"I'll carry you the way that pisses you off."
"...you wouldn't."
"I would. You said it yourself. I'm quite the sadistic one."
I quickly jolt up and walk opposite the direction I was headed before.
25 minutes later...
"Too...hot...can't...go on." I was crawling in the sand. I don't care what you think I was NOT built for the desert.
"C'mon Chibi. Only another hour." Envy said, obviously unaffected by the heat what with being a palmtree and all.
"Only!"
"Aww is Chibi tired." Envy says with a sadist glint in his eyes. "My offer to carry you still stands."
"There is no way in hell, not even the fun one, I will willingly let you carrry me bridal style Palmtree!" I yell to the sky. I HATE being carried bridal stlye. It isn't right. Way too close to the other person. Now if her offered to carry me on his back, that might be a diferent story. But, that sadist is never getting the pleasure of me caving. NEVER!
5 minutes later...
Damn the desert.
Damn the bitch.
Damn Lior.
Damn the sun.
Damn the heat.
Damn the Palmtree.
I was now being carried...bridal style...by Envy...
My arms were crossed over my chest and I had been glaring at everything that dared to move.
"Chibi-chan looks upset." He leans closer to my ear. "I wonder why?"
"That's really creepy you know."
He smirked.
Damn that smirk.
