Hello everyone! I'm so sorry for being slow when it comes updating this story. I know I've been being lazy but I'll make it up to you in this Chappie. [Hopefully I've been soooo busy lately with school and all so...PLEASE DON'T KILL AKI-CHAN! AKI-CHAN IS A GOOD GIRL!!! Ahem im sorry about that. ON WITH THE FICTION!

Disclaimer-Ed and Roy aren't together, Winry STILL isn't dead and no one will let me glomp Kaine Furey. I own Nothing.

Nikki walked down the hallway with her older brother and quickly turned on her heels into Centrals research room #4-56. Roy, knowing that she didn't wanted to talk in public, followed her into the room. Nikki walked over to the first table she could find and sat down. She pulled a Strawberry Daquiri SoBe out of her small travel bag. After carefully opening the top, Nikki chugged the drink in a very unlady-like manners. Gasping for air as she yanked her glass bottle away from mouth, she looked Roy. Roy was staring out of the window with a sweet expression on his face(something you rarely see from him). Nikki walked over to Roy and waved her hand infront of his face, startling him in the process.

"Are you still pining over Riza?" Nikki asked in an irritated voice "I'm telling you, Roy. She just doesn't like you. Get over it."

Roy glared at his younger sister and then sighed, "No, Nikki. I'm no longer in love with Riza. She's now happily married to Kaine Furey."

Nikki dropped her SoBe bottle and gasped (not at the shattered glass the was all over the floor) but at Riza's new husband.

"You're fricking kidding me, aren't you, brother?" Nikki pratically yelled as she took Roy up by his shirt once more "There's now way she could be married to my Kaine Furey. NOW WAY!"

Roy peeled Nikki fingers away from his shirt and straightened it out. He looked at his baby sister, who had a look of horror and sheer dispair on her face, and chuckled at her. Nikki just thought Furey was the cutest little man on the face of the earth, she did. And glomped him every chance she got. She had always told Roy that one day, she would have him as her own. 'Of course, she won't' Roy would always think in the back of his head as Nikki rambled on and on about how cute he would look in a state of panic whenever Havoc and Breda would mess up his important paper work and things.

"I just cannot believe this!" Nikki whined as she fell back into her chair. Just then, her bejewled, black Razr cellphone began to ring. As she pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the caller id, her face lit up. Quickly, she opened the phone and and smashed it to her ear.

"Babe!" Nikki gasps "Hi! Omigosh. I didn't think you were gonna call me. I thought you were working with motherly on some of her stuff. "

A mulffled respones came from the other end of the phone. The voice that Roy heard was rich and sensual, somewhat like dark chocolate. Roy felt as though he knew that voice but had no clue who it was.

"Oh really now?" Nikki giggled in a suductive voice to the mystery person on the other line. "Is that how much you missed me?"

Response

"Well, I'll be home tomorrow on the earliest train there is so I can see you. I should be there by at least 10:00 on the morning."

Response

"Ok then, Babe. I love you and I'll see you tommorow. Ok Buh-bye."

"So" Roy asked "Who's the lucky man my baby sister loves?"

Nikki simply laughed and turned to look out of the window. Roy made a puzzled face and went back to drinking his coffee.

"Hey, bro?" Nikki asked. Roy spun around in his chair to see as a hugh stack of papers uncerimoniously hit him in the face. "These are my recent papers from dad and his examination about two months ago."

"You still doing those examinations?" Roy asked as he looked through his little sister's papers. "I thought you said that they were done for now."

"Yeah, well... I'm not done." Nikki said, idelly cracking her fingers, knuckles and wrists. "I'm still having those dreams, but I haven't snapped in the last year."

(May 19, 1996. The Mustang Mansion)

"Big brother, big brother!" Nikki yelled as she ran across the front courtyard to Roy.Nikki hugged Roy tightly as he picked her up. She was followed by her best friend, Kimiko Ito, the daughter of a rich artist who live in the estate next to theirs. Roy spun her around she held on to Roy.

"How is my little sister?" Roy asked as he held his baby sister in the air. Nikki giggled as a response and hugged Roy even tighter. Kimiko came up to Roy and kicked him in the shin. He gritted his teeth as he slowly put Nikki down and glared at Kimiko.

"Hello, Kimiko. How are you today?" said through gritted teeth, rubbing his leg.

"I'm fine. How about you, Faggot Flame Alchemist?" Kimiko smartly replied as she looked around the field for her horse, Rocket.

"W-what did you just call me, Kimiko? I don't like to be called that." Roy's eye twitched, trying to control his anger. Kimiko was always on his case about his alchemy stance. In those days, Roy held one hand on his hip, and the other in a snapping position. One foot was slightly in front of the other and the look on his face was...kinda gay, much to his chigrin.

"Roy, Nicole, Kimiko," (A/N: Nikki went by Nicole when she was younger.) A beautiful woman with long dirty-red hair and beautiful violet eyes, in a beautiful, yellow gown called to them from the balcony of the Mustang's mansion. She was their mother, Rhonda Mustang. "Come on inside and eat some brunch. Roy, don't forget that you need to help your father when we're done."

Kimiko grabbed Nikki by the hand and ran towards the front door. Roy smiled and walked behind them. Once inside the house, Nikki and Kimiko were lead to the bathrom by Sydnie, the youngest housekeeper (A/N: Sydnie is only 21) to wash their hands.

When Roy walked through the door, Sydnie smiled at him and said politely, "Good noon-day, Master Roy. How was your practice? I hope everything went well for you."

Roy simply blushed and mumbled something that sounded like, "Everything went fine. Thank you for asking." Sydnie giggled at Roy's reaction and continued to lead Nikki and Kimiko to the bathroom. After getting the two youngest washed up. Sydnie sat down Kimiko and Nikki at the table.

(flashback/timeskip)

After brunch, Roy got cleaned off (Kimiko played 'let's-launch- food-at-the-flame-alchemist') and went to the basment where he met up with his father. Henry Mustang was like a taller, older looking version of his son with salt and pepper hair and burning black eyes that always told his life story.

"Roy," Henry said standing away from the transmutation circle that he had on the floor of his alchemy research room "I think that I've found the perfect use for this alchemy gem that was created." Henry was holding up a beautiful red colored stone before his son. "I believe that you can revive human bodies with this. I'm going to try it on that bird first."

Henry pointed to a sickly looking, dead bird that was laying on the floor in the middle of the tranmutation circle. Roy shuddered a little as he looked over the corpse of the poor bird. It was times like this that he didn't like the fact that his father was a brilliant alchemic genius. Colonel Henry Mustang, The original Flame alchemist.

"Help me set up, Roy." Henry commanded of his son. Roy did as he was bidden and placed the small red pebble in the middle of the transmutation circle. Stepping away from the circle, Henry nodded to his son, giving him the signal to put his hands overtop of the transmutation circle.

Just as Henry and Roy were activating the circle the heard the sound of running footsteps and a faint yelling of 'Daddy, Brother! Look what I've made!'

It was Nikki.

"No, Nicole! Stay back!" Roy yelled but it was too late. The circle was activated and Nikki was inside of it. Nikki screamed in sheer horror as her body was tore away from the real world and taken away to the Gate.

"Nicole! Nicole where are you?" Henry frantically yelled as he shook Roy by the shoulders"Roy, where is Nicole? Where has she gone?"

"She's on the other side, Henry. She's been taken away to another realm."

Henry and Roy turned around to see who was giving this explaination. It was Rhonda Mustang. She had a sorrowful look on her face and was on the verge of tears. She explained to them that she can bring Nikki back but she needed to use her own transmutation circle and another Philosiphers stone.

Henry quickly produced another stone as Rhonda drew her circle on the floor of the basement. Carefully placing the stone in the middle of the circle, she held her hands over the circle. She closed her eyes and poured all of strength and soul into that alchemic transmutation. With a blinding, blue light, Nikki was brought back to the world she belonged in. With one flaw, of course. Nikki no longer responed to the name Nicole without being filled with rage and anger. From that day on she was refered to as 'Nikki' and she knows everything about every detail of alchemy there is to know.

(End Flashback)

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT...THAT CHICK WITH US! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS, AL?!" Ed yelled as he got dressed.

"Well, brother, is there maybe some reason that you wanted to be alone with the colonel?" Al snickered as Ed turned every shade of red there is.

"N-no. I was just that I...I don't thinks she c-can...SHUT UP, AL!" Ed said pouncing on his younger brother and tickling him to no end.

"MERCY! M-MERCY! I GIVE!!" Al begged as Ed got off of him.

As Ed walked upstairs to his room he thought to himself, 'There is a reason I wanna be alone with Roy. I want to tell him that I...I love him.'

GOOD LORD! I'm finally done with this chapter. [It took me long enough! Well, well. It looks to me as though someone is in love. I wonder If Roy returns these feelings? Hmm...maybe that will go in the next chappie...hmm? The next chapter is of great importance because I'm entering a new character who is very near and dear to my heart! Yes, that character! (she knows who I'm talking about)

Love, Aki-Chan
