Friday, 10:50 p.m.
Tonight is the night that I'm going to meet Envy at the park. I don't expect to look too cute for him though. I didn't decorate my hair nor did I put on make-up. I have on my dress, my knee length stockings, and curved wedges. I have to admit that it's wonderful match. I went over to Mustang's office for him to see it. I arrived at the office, and entered. Both Riza and Mustang were in the office. I ask them…
Me: So, what do you think?
Riza: Well, it's the first time I've seen you without your tomboy look. You look beautiful.
Me: Thank you, Riza.
Mustang: Look at you. You've grown so much. I'll bet the men of Central will stop, and try to take you this time.
Me: *chuckles* Screw them. Tonight, I don't have to worry about a thing. I'm going to have fun at this party, and nobody is going to stop me.
Mustang: Have fun, and return home safely.
Me: Don't worry, Roy. I will.
I leave the office, and head out of the command center.
3rd pov (Mustang)
Mustang still sits in the office thinking about his "little sister." This is the first time that Serenity is out of the command center late at night just to have fun. Riza looks at the expression on his face, and then says…
Riza: Don't tell me you're still worrying about her.
Mustang: She's not even eighteen yet, Lieutenant. If she were to go out tomorrow, then I'll let her go do whatever she wants to do. But still, I don't want her to be the next one dead because of the Homunculi.
Riza: Colonel, you're still seeing her as the little girl we took in. She's no longer a child. Let her have an experience without any worries. Trust me. She'll be alright.
Mustang: I hope you're right…
1st pov (Serenity)
I'm walking in the streets of Central at night this time. I never knew that it would look so beautiful. I have this strange feeling that someone was stalking me, but I know for sure that it's not Envy following me. I ignored the feeling twice, but four times, I had to stop. This is getting really annoying. I reach into my handbag, I began to hold my gun while walking slowly; I never leave without my gun. After feeling this person's presence closing inn me fast, I quickly pull out my gun, and turn behind me. There was this guy who looks like a dirtbag to me, and he says…
Greed: Whoa! Put the gun down, sister. Somebody can get hurt with that.
Me: Of course, somebody can get hurt from it. What do you think it's used for?
Greed: Jeez relax, sweetie. All I'm saying is to put the gun down, and give me an attitude.
Me: * in thought* Man, this guy is stupid…
Greed: How about this: Why don't hand over the gun?
Me: *shoots a bullet close to his feet*…That's why…
Greed: Mmm. You're good. My name's Greed.
Me: * in thought*A Homunculus…*to Greed* I know who you are…
Greed: Do you now? Are you some undercover chick?
Me: No. I'm Serenity.
Greed: So, you're Serenity. You look hotter that I imagined. Why don't you come with me and some other ladies? You'll be my number one gal.
Me: Don't flatter me, asshole. Besides, I'm meeting with someone else. And you're wasting my time.
Greed: Are you sure you're meeting someone? Or are you lying to me just to get rid of me?
Me: Shut the fuck up! Catch that shit on a real note, you bastard! * begins walks away*
Greed: You're not getting away from me, honey.
Greed grabs my arm from behind. I've had with this asshole, so I pointed the gun at his face, and shot him. I yell…
Me: I told you to get that on a real note. You don't fucking listen do you, Greed?
Greed starts to laugh while his body was healing up. He didn't give a fuck that I just shot him in the face. Greed begins to say…
Greed: I won't stop until you're mine, girl. I can't let anyone else have you. You'll be my greatest possession yet.
Me: I don't belong to anybody!
I shoot him three more times, and begin to run away from Greed. I have learned just now that a Homunculus can heal up after an attack like a stab from a knife. It's either that they do or don't have a weak spot. That pretty much explains why Envy's leg looks good as new after Dex bit it. So, I don't want to waste my time with this Homunculus when I'm supposed to meet with another.
Fast Forward…
Finally, I got to the park after a hell of a runaway from Greed. My feet are hurting me because I was running in my wedges. Before looking for Envy, I took my shoes off to relieve my feet. There are shelters in this park, so I have to search really hard for him. No lights were on, and nobody was patrolling the park. I took out a flashlight I brought just in case if I were to walk around in the dark. After twenty minutes of walking, the weather was beginning to change. The lake's waves were colliding against the rocks on the shore, the wind grew strong, and leaves were rustling, and hitting my legs.
Me: *to self* Before, the night seemed calm. Now, there may be a storm on the way.
I already passed by three shelters, and there was no sign of Envy yet. This park is huge, and it does have a lot of shelters here, so it's taking a while for me to find him. Pretty soon, I see a light at a shelter flickering; maybe a candle is lit there. That might be the shelter I have to go, and more importantly—that's where Envy should be. I put my flashlight back in my bag, and I begin to follow the candle light. I got to the shelter which was large in size, and had a nice black picnic table with the holes in it. On the table was definitely a candle. I sat down, and waited for Envy. I check the time of my pocket watch, and the time was 11:15 p.m. I was supposed to be here by 11:10 p.m., but thanks to Greed, I'm five minutes late. While I wait for Envy, I put my shoes back on. I wait ever so patiently until I hear a voice call…
Envy: Serenity?
I turn my head around, and see Envy. I smile at him, and say…
Me: Hey. I would say, "Long time no see", but it's only been two days.
Envy: To me, it has been like a year.
Me: So, what do you think of my new look, Envy? I put it together, but I got a little help.
Envy: All I can say is that…you look kind of different.
Me: I knew you were going to say that. Two friends of mine pulled me into shopping for an outfit that shows the assets of my body. Honestly, I like the shopping, but I don't have time for it really. Maybe I haven't gotten used to it yet…
Envy: I can tell you're not. Even though you wear a different outfit from the norm, you didn't want to fix your hair, or do your make-up. You're pretty tomboy.
Me: I know. On my way here, I met Greed. And you were right to say that he's a fucking bastard. This guy wanted me to hang out with him, and his group of bitches. There's no why in hell that I'm going to be his "possession."
Envy: *chuckles* You know…it's so funny when you start bitching, Serenity…
Me: I bitch when I have to bitch, Envy. What can I say?
Envy: I'll bet it's funnier than call the Fullmetal Alchemist a pipsqueak.
Me: So, you've been calling Ed a pipsqueak huh?
Envy: Yes. Did the pipsqueak himself tell you?
Me: You shouldn't be insulting him like that. I used to be his height before, and was picked on for my height as well.*reloads gun*
Envy: That's a nice forty-five calibur you have there.
Me: Thanks. Mustang gave this to me when I was fifteen years old. I shot Greed with this. Oh, that reminds me: I realized that…even though a person can injure a Homunculus, a Homunculus can't die.
Envy: You're on the right track on what you're saying, but a Homunculus can still die.
Me: So, there's a weak spot?
Envy: That's right. Our weak spot is the Philosopher's Stone. The Stone is placed inside our chest like the human heart.
Me: Jeez. No wonder you call yourselves Homunculi. You guys look down on us humans, and yet you use us for your stones.
Envy: Even though we look down at them, Lust and I see you as a different person. You're better than all of the humans I've seen.
Me: I really kind of find that hard to believe.
Envy: Why?
Me: Envy, I want to ask you something. Why did you do all of this for me? I mean it's nice that you did, but I'm confused. Same with you releasing me and my dog, you visiting me, and now this. I know that you're a Homunculus who likes killing humans for their amusement. I still don't understand it at all, Envy. So why? Why must you do everything for me—a human—such things that a cruel Homunculus doesn't give a fuck about?
Envy gets up from the table, and says…
Envy: Yes I am a Homunculus, Serenity. Yes, I say all humans are scum. There's something about you that other girls don't have. Out of the women of this world, I find you interesting among all women.
Me: *looks at the time on the pocket watch (time: 12:12)* Wait. You never met ALL of the women of this world have you?
Envy: No…
Me: So, how can you say you're interested in me, and you never met all the women of the world?
Envy: Trust me, Serenity. I've seen the women of the world. They're not like you. They're weak. They don't fight back. *sits next to me* If I were to fight a woman that's not like you, it would be too easy, and boring. Don't you understand, Serenity? You're the type of girl I want by my side as a human or a Homunculus. *smiles*
Right now, Envy is not sounding like himself. All I can think is Envy really likes me. Is that true? It may be a trick.
Me: I don't believe you. I think you're trying to trick me. Are you sure what you're telling me is true? If not, you have to tell me the real truth, Envy.
Envy wraps his arms around my waist, and pulls me closer to him. What's gotten into him now?
Envy: I don't have to tell you anything, my sweet. Why must I tell you when I can show you?
Envy places his lips on mine. As soon as he did, raindrops begin to fall, and hit the top of the shelter, the lake, and the ground…
