Hi there! I can't really believe it, but apparently I'm updating my fanfiction! XD Happy to be writing a new chapter. This chapter was inspired by something I drew once. Hope whoever reads this enjoys it!

Disclaimer: Hiromu Arakawa owns FMA. I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, and I never will...You wouldn't want me to own it anyway. I'd just have Ed get hit with a banana cream pie in every episode and chapter. XD

THE SECOND AL

Inside the Elric's military dorm room, Alphonse and Winry sat on the couch. Alphonse was reading an alchemy book, while Winry checked her automail tools. Suddenly, Edward slammed open the door and came in.

"GUESS WHAT?" Ed said smiling with his hands behind his back.

"You're finally going to stop ruining my precious automail?" Winry exclaimed with sparkles in her eyes.

"You're going to let me keep a cat?" Al said with the same sparkle in his eyes.

"I told you I don't do it on purpose and no, Al, I told you to give up on your dreams." Ed told the two who glared at him. He ignored them and took his hands from behind his back. "I came up with a disguise. One that will confuse our enemies! They'll wonder which one of us is which!" Ed showed them a bucket. Al and Winry stared at him blankly.

"Big brother, you didn't hit your head while you were out, did you"?

"Watch as I transform this simple bucket into a disguise that will make people think I'm you, Al!" Ed said not paying attention to Al. He took out a marker and proceeded to make a crude drawing of Al's face on the bucket. Once he finished, he put the bucket on his head. "TADA! Now I'm Al! What do you think Winry? Can't tell me and Al apart can you? Can you?" Winry stared at the bucket on Ed's head and soon began to laugh.

"S-sure Ed....it's amazing!" Winry stuttered before laughing again. Al quickly got up and ran towards Ed.

"Brother, give me that! You're embarassing me!" Al shouted trying to take the bucket off Ed's head. Ed moved back and forth avoiding him, while Winry kept laughing hysterically.

"I don't know what you're talking about! I'm not 'brother' I'm Alphonse!" Ed yelled trying to make his voice sound like Al's.

"Stop that! Give me the bucket!" Al shouted chasing Ed. Ed did his best to avoid Al and ran around the room. Ed laughed triumphantly as he kept dodging Al.

"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ALPHONSE ELRIC!" Ed yelled before he ran into one of the dorm walls and fell to the floor. Al and Winry looked at Ed who was lying still on the floor with the bucket on his head. Al looked at him and sighed.

"Brother...you did realize you should've put eye holes on the bucket before running around wearing it, right?" Al said. After a few seconds of silence, Ed responded back.

"Shut up Al."

Ed is a master of disguise! Or at least he thinks he is.
