Wow, it feels like forever since I updated. Well, new job is just going, and I am out for the summer. So yeah. Unfortunately, there isn't much left for this story, and at the request of some of you, through via a review or personal message, I am thinking about making a prequel of Andi and Ed's lives before "Angel the Homunculous" takes place.

I think this is definitely a turning point in the story. You'll see when you get there. I just had to bring in another character because Ed needs someone to help with Mick. That and I wanted to write in Al...also because my sister says it's not a FMA fan fiction without Al in there somewhere. (Yeah, that's the same younger but taller sister, Alliey, whom I call Al).

Ed was walking to the train station, knowing who he was meeting there. He'd already received the warning of who he was to meet. He looked down to his daughter, watching her skip merrily beside him.

"Uncle Al! Uncle Al! We're going to see Uncle Al," she sang as she gently tugged at Ed's hand with each skip.

Ed smiled, nearly forgetting how long it had been since Al, his younger brother, had seen Mick. They were so close when Mick was a baby, before Al grew a pair and asked Winry to marry him. Yet, Ed still wondered how Mick could smile without her mother around, and after all that's happened.

It's the young child's mind that doesn't let them brood on the past and makes them keep moving forward, Ed thought as they walked into the train station knowing that they had about five minutes before Al's train would pull up.

Mick sat on her dad's lap, still dancing to herself. Ed watched her with a smile, shaking his head some at the excited little girl he called his. Her dark gold hair looked disheveled from a mixture of the wind, her skipping and dancing, as well as being the lively little girl Andi and Ed knew she'd become. Her shirt was rumpled a little from the mixture. But Mick was happy.

"Daddy?"

"What?"

"How long is Uncle Al gonna stay?"

"A week or two."

"Are you goin' somewhere?"

Ed shook his head, remembering one of the last times Mick was here was a year and a half ago. He felt the pang in his chest. "No, Mick, I'm not going anywhere. Al just wants to visit."

"Is Aunty Winry going to be here too?"

Ed shook his head again. "No, she's gonna stay in Risembool. She has some automail patients that she needs to take care of."

Mick sounded disappointed. "Oh."

"But don't worry, you can hang out with Alphonse while I'm at work."

"No more playing with Breda Fuery, and Hav'c?"

Ed laughed, realizing that Mick knew what she was doing to those two. "Maybe, but you can dress up Uncle Al all you want." This made Mick laugh.

"You're gonna do what to me?"

Ed looked up as Mick jumped and squealed. "Uncle Al!" Mick slide off her father's lap, running to her uncle with arms wide open, ready to give her uncle a big hug.

Ed stood up, walking to his younger brother as Mick was caught and flown through the air in an even bigger hug. "Oh my gosh, look how big you've gotten, Mick!"

Mick giggled. "Look how big you are, Uncle Al."

Ed chuckled as Al looked to his older brother. Ed lost some weight, Al noted as he scanned his brother, but he still looks healthy, Win will be happy to hear that.

"How are you little brother?"

Al nodded. "Fine. Winry, Grandma Pinako, and your nephew send their love."

Ed gave a half smile. "That's good. Though I am shocked Winry didn't send a wrench to the head."

Al chuckled. "No, she found some other idiot like you to do that to."

Ed smiled as he picked up his brother's suitcase since Al was busy carrying his daughter. "Come on, let's head to the house and then we'll head out for lunch. Mick's been up since before the crack of dawn because of you."

Al looked down to his niece, who gave him a guilty smile. He chuckled and picked her up. "You were up before your daddy?"

Mick nodded happily. "But the meaner wouldn't get up until after the sun was up."

Al chuckled, seeing both of her parents in her. He saw Andi more than anything. He remembered Ed sneaking out of the military dorms to go see her. He remembered when he found out that they were together, though he already knew. Al even remembered Andi's smile, all her smiles from the sweet one to the devious one.

"So, Mick, do you go to school?"

Mick frowned but nodded. "Yeah."

Al raised an eye brow. "Do you like it?"

"No," Mick said as she shook her head as they walked.

"Why not?"

"It's boring." Mick crossed her arms. "And there's too many rules to follow."

Ed chuckled. She sounds like me, he thought.

"What do you like?"

"Alchemy."

"And there's your father in you," Al uttered.

"I heard that!"

Al and Mick laughed. "You know she's just like you, Brother."

"I know," Ed said as they turned onto the street Ed and Mick lived on. "Right down to performing alchemy at a young age."

"Oh!" Mick said as she hit her uncle's shoulder to gain his attention. "Uncle Alphonse, guess what?"

Al looked to her. "What?"

"I did alchemy!"

Al gasped in surprise. "You did?"

Mick nodded proudly. "Mhm, Daddy said that I did good."

Al hugged Mick. "That's wonderful, Mick! I'm proud of you!" As Al hugged his neice, he looked to Ed, who was watching. Al could see the hurt in

Ed's eyes because Andi had no idea what her daughter was doing. If only they could find Andi while Al was in Central.

Angel had been able to be let out of the mansion walls, with supervision from either of the other homunculi after two weeks. She felt so trapped, almost to the point of regretting at night with Ed. The sun shone through the trees as she sat on a bench, looking at the sky. Angel had gone back to her silence since she was locked in her room. She stopped all forms of talking to Envy and Greed, and was near about as silent around Lust. That pissed off Lust more than anything.

Lust frowned as she watched Angel sigh sadly and look at the sky, silently wishing she was free enough to see Ed one last time. Lust watched her from the window, knowing exactly where Envy and Greed were running off too.

Angel looked to the sky, noting how the trees swayed in the breeze and made the shapeless shadows dance with it. She looked down from the sky to straight in front of her, seeing the scenery had changed into something completely different. She wasn't in the mansion lawn anymore. It was a park. The blonde that had plagued her mind was laying in the grass, on her side. Her hair cascaded in slight waves to the green grass as she smiled lovingly to the person she was looking toward. The boy she saw was faceless, just like the rest of the times, though Angel had a feeling it was Ed-perhaps it was just her mind playing on trick on her through the visions only to remind her of how much she missed him. The blonde outstretched her hand to the boy, who took it with a smile. The girl was practically glowing, something about her was glowing. Angel watched as the blonde looked to the boy with a smile and said, "Forever."
Angel shook her head when the vision ended, trying to rid what she saw from her memory. Like it was going to work. Lately, the visions were stronger, making Angel think she was going insane, even though she's never heard of an insane homunculi. Angel sometimes felt like they were real. Like she was there, seeing it all.

"God damn it," she cursed, holding her head in her hands as she rocked in the bench seat. "Why can't I remember myself as human? All I get is some girl!"

Lust grimaced, hearing Angel's outburst. She whispered, "Because you are remembering yourself as a human. Envy and Greed just don't want you to know that."

"Are you ready, Envy?" Greed asked as he watched Ed walk from Central Command, parting from Roy.

Envy snarled, seeing Roy. The damn Flame Alchemist was responsible for caring for their precious Angel when she was human. Now he was going to take care of the other one: Ed.

"Well, Envy, your call. Seduce him now or later."

Envy's devious smile turned deadly. "Oh, it's going to be now. Look at the look in his eyes. He's having Angel-withdraws."

"How can you tell?"

"I've seen it in other's eyes. It's something that transcends time, Greed."

Greed smiled as he saw his friend turn into a woman with long brunette hair, dark eyes, and a chest that he knew, and wanted to know personally. It was an exact replica, all the way down to the sweet smile she wore. "Damn, how you can look exactly like Angel is a gift. Can you talk like her too?"

"Of course I can talk like Angel, you idiot. I've heard her voice enough to get it down without any problems," Envy said in Angel's exact voice, all the way down to the tone.

Greed chuckled. "How does it feel to be a woman, Envy?"

Envy slapped the back of Greed's head. "You idiot," he said in Angel's voice, "don't even think about it."

"I am."

"And it's a wonder Angel or Lust hasn't tried to strangle you yet," Envy said dryly as he looked down to Greed, who was still crouched in the shadows.

Greed smirked. "I am the Ultimate Shield, Envy. It would help if you had some faith in me."

Envy turned back to where he saw Ed and Roy part. "Well, you're staying behind me while I get former Fullmetal Pipsqueak here. Once we do that, you're welcome to knock him out without killing him. We want him fully functional. Can you do that, Greed, or will you need help?"

Greed gave Envy an unamused look. "Yeah, I can do that, Angel Wannabe."

Envy smirked as he flipped his hair and walked toward the general direction of Ed. He walked like her, giving the illusion that Angel was right there when in fact it was only Envy. He trekked along the city, remembering what Ed does every night before going home with his daughter. Oh that precious little girl of his. It didn't take long for Envy to spot Ed. When he did, he smirked deviously, finally putting the final phase of the plan into motion.

"Hey, Ed!" Envy called in Angel's sweet tone.

Ed turned around, smiling when he heard Angel's voice. "I was wondering if you fell of the face of the earth. Where have you been?"

"Busy helping friends," Envy said with Angel's smile. "It's nothing to be worried about, Ed."

Ed smiled, stepping closer to her. "I'm glad I get to see you again."

Envy grimaced inwardly, trying not to blow his cover. "Ed, do you want to go somewhere with me?"

Ed smiled, nodding. "Sure, my brother will be fine for a little bit longer."

"Your brother?" Angel's voice asked.

"Yeah, he got into town a couple days ago."

"Oh," her voice said. "Well, do you think he'll be alright with you being with me for a little while?"

"I am sure of it," Ed said with a smile as he extended his hand.

Envy took it, knowing he had to unless he wanted Ed to figure him out. "Come with me, I know you'll love it."

"Okay," Ed said as his cheeks turned a shade of pink.

Envy lead him close to Central Command. But instead of leading him into the same alleyway where Envy and Greed had been hiding, Envy took him down another alleyway. The one where Greed was.

"Hey, Greed!" Angel's voice called.

"Greed?" Ed asked, getting a somewhat grip on what was happening.

Greed came out of the shadows. "Damn, that was quick. You were right, Envy, you can trick him easier with Angel than you can with his own brother."

Envy smirked, still the exact replica of Angel. "The little bastard likes Angel. Now, it's your turn." Envy turned to Ed. "I don't suggest running, Pipsqueak, it'll just hurt more."

Ed still fought to get away from Envy's tightened grip. He stopped when he heard Pipsqueak. "I AM NOT A PIPSQUEAK! I FUCKING GREW!"

Greed chuckled. "Sure you did, kid," he said as he hardened his hand and knocked Ed out.

Ed fell like a sack of coal onto the alleyway floor. Envy turned back into his original form as Greed took his arm back to normal. Greed smirked at the unconscious body of Edward Elric. Envy crouched to Ed's ear with a sinister chuckle.

"You wanna know something, Edward?" Envy waited for a moment like he was going to get an answer. When he got none, he went on anyway. "I was the one that killed your precious Andi."
