[Chapter 2 Start]

Getting Alphonse to Central had been the easy part. Hell, he didn't even have to do anything! The brat came there on his own! He had even approached Envy.

"Hey," Envy looked over to see the younger of the Elric brothers extending his hand as he knelt. "I'm Alphonse."

Envy's eyes widened slightly. It was really him! The dumbass had come to him on his own! Not wanting to blow his cover, he narrowed his eyes and spat out rudely. "What do you want?"

He could hardly contain the laugh that threatened to erupt from him at the confused expression on Alphonse's face. The boy had no idea that one of his worst enemies was right in front of him.

Humans are so weak and naive!

Alphonse's smile faded. "You seemed lonely, or sad."

"I'm fine," Envy snorted as he looked away to hide the hint slight smirk. "Ya know, alot of people would find it creepy that a strange man came up to them when they were wanting some alone time."

Oh, but I don't find it creepy at all! Envy's inner screeched in laughter.

"I never really thought about that.." You're a stupid human. "You should get out and walk around. Enjoy life."

I'll be enjoying it very soon, Alphonse Elric. My sacrifice.

Envy looked up at him. "You're weird."

"That coming from someone that's been sitting alone in an alley?"

Envy felt his face heating up in embarassment. How dare he!

Angry that a mere human had been able to come even close to his wit, he huffed like a child and crossed his arms over his chest. "Whatever.."

Why did I have to take a human girl's body? He wondered offhandedly, nearly missing what Alphonse replied.

"Of my mother. You have the same eyes." With that, Alphonse turned and walked back down the alley, leaving Envy to watch after him.

Leaving so soon, my sacrifice? Envy smiled. No worries, you'll see my vessel's eyes again. And be reminded of your mother all over again. And again. AND AGAIN! Over and over!

Envy had to cover his mouth to keep himself from screeching in laughter. He would just have to follow Alphonse. Follow him and wait. Wait, patiently..

"I'll be back in my normal form soon enough," Envy said, frowning at the girly tone of his voice. He hit himself-herself-in the forehead. "I don't even sound like myself. And this body is far from cute! Ugh!"

Envy got to his feet, stretching from the stiffness in his limbs. He yawned. I guess I'll follow him around and see how long he's going to be in Central. Better stay a while so I don't have to risk taking a train and getting caught.

He walked to the end of the alley and peeked around the corner. Of course he would be talking to some military bastards. Then again, that's probably a good thing.

Envy leaned against the wall, leaning his head back against the wall to stare up at the sky. He knew Alphonse would be a while. He was probably talking to that flame bastard Mustang.

That damn moron! Envy thought angrily. He's the reason why I'm in this weak body! A body that can get tired.. That can get hurt, and sick.. A body that can die!

"Humans are so weak," Envy groaned in frustration, glaring bullets up at the sky when he saw that dark clouds had covered the sun. That brat better not take too long.. I hate the rain..

Of course, by the time Alphonse decided to grace the street with his presence, Envy was thoroughly soaked by the pelting sheets of rain. "If I didn't want my old body back so much..." He muttered, still annoyed by his voice.

When Alphonse passed, his head lowered against the weather, Envy slipped nonchalantly from the alley and followed him. I wonder what that simple-brained human is thinking about.. Envy crossed his arms. When Alphonse suddenly stopped, Envy ducked into the nearest space between the buildings.

"I.. I don't know.. It let's you skip over the laws of equivalent exchange.." Alphonse said out loud.

A grin spread over Envy's smile. Good! He's thinking of the Philosopher's Stone! My sacrifice, you're making this so easy! I don't even have to try!

"Mommy! Mommy I fell and got all wet!"

"It's alright, dear. When we get home, we'll dry you off and have some nice, warm soup. How does that sound?"

Oh, how wonderful! A little push for Alphonse Elric! A mother and son!

Envy pushed himself up off of the wall, crossing his arms as he stood mere feet behind Al. "I miss that.."

Envy froze, taking it that Alphonse was talking to him. He tsk'd. "You really are weird."

When Alphonse jumped in surprise and turned to face him, Envy wanted to rip his own hair out in frustration. The human didn't even know I was there! Damn it, Envy!

"Hey, you're that girl from the alley! W-when did you get here!" He stammered out.

Envy rolled his eyes. "Long enough to hear something about equivalent exchange and that you missed something."

I bet you miss your mother, don't you? You want her back Alphonse? Haha! What a human-like bond! Pointless!

Al blinked, an embarassed blush spreading over his face. "Well, I-I have to go," He took off down the sidewalk.

Envy smirked. "Go for now, Alphonse Elric. We'll see each other again."

He turned and disappeared into the alley between two buildings.
