24 reviews...Holy Shit. Seriously, I love everyone who sent me a review because I never thought I would get that many reviews before. And because I got so many reviews, I decided to give you this chapter earlier than I expected to.

So, I hope you all enjoy!

"Ugh…pull over!"

Jean groaned from his place in the back of the van.

"No way!" Ed yelled back to him. "We just stopped for food an hour ago. We're not pulling over again when we're already behind schedule!"

"But I got to piss…"

"Hold it."

"Ed just let the man stop on the side of the road!" Roy yelled from the back.

"Yeah, because if he pees back here he's not the only one who'll be in trouble," Riza growled.

"Fine, fine."

They had only been driving for a few hours now. The sun had gone and now the only lights were the soft glow of the large overhead lamps. Winry slowly moved over to the side of the street, the car vibrating every time they passed over one of the indentations on the side of the road to wake up sleeping drivers, and then unlocked the doors so that Jean could get out.

"If anyone else has to piss I would suggest you do it know!" Ed yelled.

"You're such a hard ass Ed," Sheska whined. "I thought this was supposed to be fun and here you won't even stop to let your friends piss."

"This isn't about having fun!" Ed growled as he grinded his teeth together.

"Relax Ed," Winry said quietly. "We all know what this is about. Relax."

"Yeah listen to your wife up there and learn to take a firggen Joke," Maes said with a smirk.

"Winry is not my wife!" Ed yelled as he stood up on his seat and turned to look at his sniggering friends.

"Oh you're right. She's you're little fiancé."

As Ed was about to scream again, Winry grabbed onto the back of his shirt and pulled him down onto his seat.

"Relax Ed or else I'm going to have to knock you out for the rest of the trip."

"Hurry the Hell up Jean!" Ed yelled, rolling down his window. "What were you holding that in for month?!"

"Sorry!" Jean yelled as he came running back into the van.

"Okay can we get this rust bucket moving again?"

"Maybe if you said 'please'," Winry muttered darkly before she turned the van back onto the highway.

Once everyone had relaxed and begun to feel the effects of sleep, the van was filled with the quiet hum of talking mixed in with the soft lull of the radio. Ed stared at the clock as he felt his eyes tugging for sleep.

12:04…

Ed turned his attention to Winry, who was still driving, and saw that even thought her eyes looked focused on the task ahead, her body showed signs of exhaustion.

"Hey Win."

"What is it?"

"Where are we now?"

"We're almost at Cincinnati."

Ed let out a low growl at the news. They had been driving for hours and they still weren't out of the state! This was going to take forever at this rate.

"Hey Win," Ed said, remembering the other thing he wanted to say to her.

"Yeah?"

"You look kinda tired. Maybe someone else should drive for a while."

"Oh no I'm fine. Maes said he would drive in an hour so I can hang on until then."

"Alight then."

Ed let a loud yawn out before he curled up in his seat and let sleep take him…

Edward was running down a wood-paneled hallway, his bare feet were creating a loud slapping noise. As he ran passed an open door, he could hear a very small child crying and a women trying to sooth it. The largeness of everything around him told him that he was a young child. He was younger than he could have ever remember being. Why he even running?

Knock, knock!

Someone was at the door.

As Ed was about to open the door, a large man stopped him.

"Edward!" the man scolded. "You know you're not supposed to open the door."

"Sorry daddy," Ed muttered in a tiny voice.

"It's alright," he said with a sigh before he opened up the door.

It was pouring out and some of the cold water had managed to blow into the warm house. Ed tried to peak around his father's leg to see who he was talking to, but he kept shifting in front of him, almost as if he did not want Ed to see or be seen by the other person. Once his father slammed the heavy door closed, he turned down to look at Ed.

"Daddy who was that?" Ed's small question caused a smile to form on his face.

"Oh no one," he said before he bent down and picked Ed up, forcing loud giggles out of the small boy. "No one important."

Ed looked out the rain-washed window and let out an involuntary squeak. There was someone out there. Someone was staring at him, no, glaring at him and his father. His young instincts told him that whoever it was was bad.

"Daddy! There's someone out there!"

"What?"

He sat Ed down onto the couch before he opened up the front door and peered outside. Who was out there? And why did Ed get this sudden feeling of foreboding…?

"…should stop for a minute. Just to stretch our legs."

"Good idea. We need gas anyways."

Ed's eyes flew open as he struggled to remember were he was. The darkness was disorientating to Ed's head. Where was he?

"Let's hurry up and get out before sleeping beauty over here wakes up and realizes we stopped."

Ed realized that it was Roy and Maes who were talking and that Roy had just called him 'sleeping beauty.'

"Too late," Ed grunted. "I'm up."

"Yeah and too late for you to stop us since we're already off the highway."

"I know. I want to stop. Have to pee," Ed muttered as he whipped the sleep out of his eyes and suddenly felt the pressure of a full bladder. "What time is it?"

"It's just passed two in the morning."

"Anyone know where the fuck we are?"

"I think we're in Kentucky," Maes answered as he pulled the van into a large gas station.

"Perfect," Ed growled before he hopped out of the van and into the cool night air that bit at his warm flesh.

As Ed moved to the gas station, he heard Roy and Maes shouting to wake the others up, telling them if they needed to pee or if they needed anything, they were to get up now.

Once Edward had gone to the bathroom, he stood in front of a cooler in the gas station, debating on what he wanted.

Soda…no. water, nope. I could use a beer, but I don't think we're far enough passed the Mason-Dixon Line to try and wiggle a beer out of a gas station clerk.

Ed decided on an energy drink just as the rest of his friends were stumbling into the gas station.

"What time is it?" he heard Sheska whine.

"So where are you kids headed to?" asked the clerk.

"Florida."

"Hmm…long ways away from here."

"Tell me about it," Ed muttered as he paid for his drink and turned to leave through the double doors.

Sitting back in the car, Ed's mind wandered to what had woken him up before. What was he dreaming about? After a few moments, Ed reasoned that there wasn't anything to remember and it was probably nothing.

"Let's get this baby back on the road!" Jean yelled as he dove back into the van.

"Jean you better shut up or there's going to be even more blood on the back seat," Riza growled as she sat back down.

Ed laughed quietly while listening to his friends bicker before he slipped back into sleep.

"So where are you guys?"

"We're in Tennessee. Almost into Georgia."

"That's cool. I've never been down there before."

It was mid morning and Ed was talking on the phone to Sammy, Terry, and Kyle. After much deliberation, the group decided to stop at a local dinner and get some substantial breakfast. Ed stood outside the dinner while the others paid for their meals.

"Yeah, it's really nice here. When the sun came up it was really beautiful. So how's your summer vacation so far?"

"Alright…kinda boring though. Kimblee's just been ignoring us so far so it hasn't been that bad."

"Well that's good. Look Sammy I've got to go. But I swear I'll call you later okay?"

"Yeah that's fine Eddy. Have fun."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye."

"Everything alright at home?" Winry asked as she came out of the dinner.

"Yeah. Kimblee's not bothering them or anything so they're fine."

"Good. Well since everyone's filled up on food, I think we can keep driving for a while now."

"Perfect. We're a bit more than seven hours away and if we keep driving according to plan, then we should be able to get there by tonight."

If only your ideas always went according to plan…

"Dammit!" Winry exclaimed as she stared at the black smoke that was belching out of the van's front.

"What the Hell's wrong?" Ed asked in a slight panic once he saw the large quantities of black smoke.

"Something's wrong with the engine," Winry growled as she pulled out a pair of mechanic gloves and began working through the smoke.

"Can you fix it?" Roy asked as he came jumping out of the van.

A few hours had passed since they had stopped at the dinner. After Winry had heard something pop, Winry pulled over and saw, to her annoyance and Ed's pure horror, that due to a fan belt gone arise and an engine way passed its prime, they were now stuck without transportation.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! What the Hell are we supposed to do?! Are we supposed to walk the other 300 miles there?!"

The other teens all looked from each other to Ed with similar blank and slightly scared faces.

"I'm sorry Ed but I don't have the parts I need to fix it. Sorry," Winry said as she slowly put away her greased tools away one by one, while waiting for the explosion that was bound to happen any second. Unfortunately, Winry knew that most of Ed's rage would be directed at her, since she was the only that could do anything when it came to fixing mechanics.

"So what the Hell are we supposed to do?! How are going to fucking-," Ed aimed a kick at a nearby log and sent it flying just inches over his friends cowering heads, "do anything when this fucking goddamn piece of shitty junk is busted-down?! Huh? Should we all just hitch-hike?! Should we just walk to the next god damn station?!"

"Edward, I'm sorry but it's not anyone's fault-."

"Really?! Because last time I checked your big and bad friend Dominic said he could have this, this-rust-bucket-," Edward swung his automail leg again and landed a kick to the side of the car, leaving a small dent, "get to Florida and back again! But it fucking didn't!"

"Ed relax," Roy tried to yell, but he just couldn't seem to find the volume for it, "I'm sure if we just walk to the next station we could find the part we need and then walk back and then be on the road again before sundown."

"Oh before sundown that's just fucking perfect!" Ed yelled scathingly into Roy's face. "Since we're walking, why don't we just walk the rest of the way? Why not?! Good bit of exercise! FUCK!"

Seething with his fists closed shut so tightly, his nails were digging into his flesh; Ed turned his back to his friends and began walking into the other direction, sending waves of his horrible attitude in all different directions. He stomped along for a good few feet until he sat down on a large boulder and gripped his hair tightly, almost to the point of ripping it out, with his hands as he bit down on his bottom lips to contain the horrible cry of annoyance and frustration that was bound to come.

"Will he bit alright?" Maes asked, who was slightly shaken up by the ordeal, having never seen Ed blow up like that before.

"Yeah," Winry said. "Just let him cool off for right now. If you bother him while he's throwing his little tantrum, you just might find yourself very much needing a hospital visit. But that's not what we should be worried about now."

"Yeah, we have to find a way to get this piece of junk fixed."

"Maybe we should call a to-truck and get this thing to the nearest station and then the rest of us walk there," Jean said. "Then by the time we get there, this could be almost done."

"Probably the only thing we can do," Winry said with an annoyed sigh before she looked at Maes, Jean, and Sheska. "Can one of you guys Google for a mechanic in this area?"

"Why do we have to do it?" Jean asked but pulled out his phone all the same.

"Because you three have those ridiculous phones that can search the web. Now look already."

"Alright, relax. You don't have to bite my head off."

"Hey, I found one," Sheska said as she ran over to Winry with her phone.

Winry then took out her own phone and dial the number on the website Sheska had shown.

"Yes, Hello? Sorry but my van broke down on the side of high way…I-75 S and we really need it taken to the nearest mechanics shop. Uh-huh. Yes, of course. Please, you see this is an emergency and if we don't get back on the road soon-. Yes I do realize that this is a rush but we need to-. Yes I realize that this is-. Yes, I think I know when my car is simply out of gas you sexist pig! Now get a to-truck out here this instance or I'll-! Yes. Thank you very much. Good bye."

"So what did he say?"

"He said he's sending over a truck right now and it should be here in about ten minutes."

"Good. How far away is this mechanics shop anyway?"

"It's about five miles away. Not too far to walk."

"Well then once it gets here, I think one or two of us could ride there with it and then-."

"Hey guys…" Ed muttered as he came walking up behind them.

"Oh, hey Ed," Winry said with a small smile.

Ed's face was tinged pink in embarrassment, probably for realizing what he had done, and he gripped the back of his neck with his flesh hand, while looking border-line mortified.

"So…sorry I kinda blew up on you guys before."

"It's alright Ed. We just called a to-truck to pick up the van. We thought that we could walk to the mechanics shop since it's not that far away and then we can think of what to do next once we know the full damage report."

"Okay…" Ed said with a small tired sigh. "I guess if that's the best that we can do."

Ed turned his head up to the sun and let out a small groan. Even if it was nothing at all, they had already lost precious time by sitting here and Ed had a instinctive feeling that told him that those lost hours would come back to bite him on the ass.

I loved writing Edward's extreme hissy-fit. I could just picture every moment of it.

Sorry for leaving this here but you should all be happy because I was originally going to make this a short chapter.

*Announcement*If anyone loves Harry Potter, Ouran High School Host Club, and randomness, please check out a new cross-over crack fic that I recently published! Please send me a review for it if you liked it!

Well, that's all and I'm sorry if I don't update for a while since my school Musical is less than a week away and everyone's going crazy.

Bye!
