Chapter 2

Normal P.O.V.

They walked into the clothing store. It looked like a normal enough place. Mika was losing patience. What answers could they possibly find here? Once they reached the counter, instantly, a man with spiky hair and sunglasses ran up and hugged Echo.

"Echo, nice to see you!" Echo glared at him. "Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?"

"Yeah, yeah. Envy is chilling out." He looked over at Mika. "Who's this hottie?"

Echo smirked. "Greed, meet Mika. Mika, Greed."

Mika looked at Greed a bit; she just seemed to stare at him. A blush came to her face as she heard him call her a hottie.

"Wait... Greed..? Envy..? I've heard those names before... you're..." She looked at them and stepped back a bit.

Greed shrugged. "There's nothing to be afraid of. We won't hurt you. Well, I know for sure I won't." He took a step closer to her. "My, you look stunning in that dress."

Echo rolled her eyes and sighed. She then started looking at clothes, holding up a few outfits in front of the mirror, clearly enjoying herself.

Mika looked at him. "Well, I didn't exactly want to wear a dress like this..."

He studied her appearance. "But it looks simply dashing on you." He smirked.

She just blushed more. "Th-thanks..."

He put his arm around her shoulders. "What say you to going to a party tonight?" Echo snorted; Greed frowned. "At least I can get a date."

Echo snapped her head to look in his direction. "I can too! In fact, I already have one." She gritted her teeth, glaring.

"A party..?" She looked at Echo and rolled her eyes. "I bet I know."

Echo pulled out a very sexy dress. "Greed, would this look good on me?"

"Hmm… It could. Give yourself some boobs though."

Echo shot him a look. "I have some, thank you." She stormed off into the dressing room.

"So, what do you say?" Greed looked into Mika's eyes, causing her to turn various shades of red.

"Well, I suppose I can go... If I don't have any work to do." She bit her lower lip as she looked into his eyes.

He frowned. "Do I need to take that damn Mustang down tonight already?"

Echo screamed from the dressing room. "Don't you dare touch him!"

Greed smirked. "I found her date. With her as his date, you won't have any work tonight. Now, let's find you a dress." He walked over to the rack and frowned. "I'm no good at this... Lust!" She came out from the back room.

"What is it now, you fool?" She looked bored.

"We need to find a dress for my date tonight."

"You found a date? Hmm, well, she's rather ugly, but I'll see what I can do." She started digging through the dresses as Greed stood back.

Mika glared. "I would talk..." She muttered watching Lust.

Lust growled and walked over to her. "If you want to start something, let's go. But remember, you are unarmed." She glared at her. Greed put his hands up.

"Please, please, ladies, calm down." Echo stepped out in her new dress. It was sort of tight on her, but accented her boobs and her butt. It was bright red with black lacing up the back. Lust and Greed nodded in approval. She smiled and went back to change.

Mika nodded as well and then glanced at Greed. "Look, I should just go..."

"Wait, so you're not going to go to the party with me?" He frowned. Echo came out and started talking to Lust in a low voice.

"Well I do... But... I just don't like wearing dresses..." She glanced over at the other two and looked down.

"Oh... Well, how about a skirt, then?" He grinned.

"That works…" She smiled.

He smiled back, content. "Lust, something not too short, yet form fitting." She sighed and started looking again. Echo grabbed some chips off the rack and started eating them.

Mika just watched them. "Aren't you all... homunculi?"

Greed shrugged. "Not our fault." Echo swallowed.

"I'm not. We're just friends." Echo quickly pulled out a mirror and sighed in relief. The ouroboros under her right eye was still skillfully hidden with the best cover-up.

Mika thought for a moment. "But... you do know the military is after you... right?"

He shrugged again. "Let them come. Anyways, he'll be so preoccupied with Echo, he won't even notice me."

Echo smirked sexily. "I'm good."

Lust brought over a jean skirt that wasn't too short, and a v-neck light blue shirt with white laces for the sleeves. "Ooo, nice, Lust." She rolled her eyes. "Why don't you try it on, Mika?"

Mika sighed, taking the clothes as she moved to the dressing room. Once changed, she came out. "Well?" she asked looking at them.

Greed's grin was so huge; it took up his whole face. "Extraordinary! You look amazing." He said putting his arm behind her back, pulling her a little closer.

She smiled a bit and blushed. "Well. T-thanks"

He grinned and let her go to change back. "Well, I must say you did a nice job, Lust. Thank you."

"I can't exactly say it was my pleasure…" She walked into the back room. Echo kept munching.

Mika watched Lust leave, after she came back out changed. "I don't really like her..." She muttered to Echo and Greed.

"She's not too bad once you get to know her. She's Echo's best friend, so, be careful. They share secrets and girly flirting tricks."

Echo smirked. "And I'm going to test those tonight." She giggled.

Mika watched them, keeping quiet as she thought a bit. 'Maybe once I get back, I could tell Roy that the homunculi are here.'

Echo groaned. "I miss my Roy already... Let's head back." She threw away the empty bag.

"Aw, so soon?" He walked up to Mika and whispered in her ear, "I'll meet you in front of the Devil's Nest at 7." He kissed her cheek and walked to the back room. Echo was already standing near the door, waiting for Mika.
