Ok so…I did not get grounded but I DID spill some tea and messed up my comp….yes I am aware that it was not smart of me to drink tea near the comp -.-;; but my comp is fixed now so it is all cool X3

I think you all know by now that I do not own FMA so…no more disclaimer.

"VANITY!"

The pink haired girl turned her head at the sound of her name. "Oh, Envy-san, what is it?" She asked as Envy walked up to her.

"I want to talk to you…. about Spite…" He said.

Vanity's looked around nervously. "Oh? Umm, what do you want to know?" She asked.

"Has anything happened to her lately? I mean…has she mentioned anything that has been making her…nervous, or something?" The older homunculus asked.

Vanity looked up with surprise. "No, why? Is there something wrong with her?" She asked in a concerned voice.

"Haven't you noticed that she has been acting strange lately? She seems to be spacing out a lot…" Envy replied.

Vanity looked down thoughtfully. "Now that you mention it…she has been acting odd…" She said. "She has been sleeping in a lot later then usual…and she seem tired all of the time…like she has not been getting enough sleep."

Envy frowned. "Really? Well…let me know if anything happens…she confides in you a lot and doesn't really seem to like talking to me much." He sighed as he ran a hand through his long green hair.

Vanity gave him a kind smile. "Don't worry Envy-san…she cares for you even if she does not act like it, and I think you two are closer then you are aware…"

Envy snorted, suddenly changing his attitude. "Who says I was worried about that? I am only worried that her lazy attitude will interfere with our training." He said as he walked off, leaving the young girl alone.

Vanity shook her head as she watched him leave. "No wonder Spite gets so frustrated with him…he changes moods faster than I change nail polish…."

Even though Envy claimed that he did not care, Vanity knew better then to take his word for it no matter how difficult he tried to be. She knew he really did care for Spite.

As Vanity walked down the hall she thought about how strange Spite had been acting. "I wonder what is wrong with her? I did not really notice till Envy-san had pointed it out…I am such a bad friend for not paying more attention…" She thought as she mentally berated herself. "Maybe I should ask her about it…"

When she walked into her and Spite's room she noticed the dark haired girl sitting at the window, staring off into space.

"She has been doing that a lot lately…" Vanity thought.

"Hey Spite, whats up?" She asked as she approached the other girl. Spite did not reply and continued to gaze out the window.

Vanity frowned with worry. "That's funny…she is usually so alert…what happened to her?"

She walked closer to her friend. "Spite…are you ok?" She asked as she touched Spite's shoulder.

The dark homunculus jolted at the contact and whipped her head around to look at the other girl. The surprised look in her eyes softened as she realized who it was.

"Oh…Hi, Vanity…is something wrong?" Spite asked as she noticed the worried look on her friend's face.

Vanity bit her lip. "Are you ok?" She repeated her previous question. "You have been acting strange lately…" She said as she looked out the window.

Spite sighed. "It seems everyone is asking me that lately…" She had just had a talk about it with Sloth, who had been brought to the attention of Spite's odd behavior by a very worried Wrath.

Vanity frowned "Why am I always the last one to notice? I really am a bad friend…" She thought.

She looked up as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Spite gave her a rare smile to reassure her. "Don't worry Vanity, I am fine. I just haven't been getting enough sleep lately."

Vanity knew she was lying. She had known Spite longer than anyone and she had often seen that strained, forced smile that Spite always gave when she was lying. It was not a happy smile, it was the smile parents gave their young children when they told them their pet ran away, when in reality, it had died.

"…If you say so…" She replied.

Spite turned and began to walk out the door. "I am gonna go for a walk…see you later, Vanity." She said as she started to leave.

"Envy really does care about you, Spite…we all do…you don't have to hide anything…" Vanity called out before the other girl could leave.

Spite stopped in her tracks, and stared at the floor. She seemed lost in thought for a moment before she closed her eyes and continued to walk out of the room.

Vanity looked down sadly. "Why do you always hold everything in? You and Envy-san really are a lot alike…"
