Resembool... a quiet town where not much happens. Everyday is peaceful and calm-
"YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG FUCKING WAY!"
"BITE ME!"
.... Or so it was... A black car came barreling down the dirt roads towards Rockbell Automail. Inside, was the driver, Roy Mustang and his cousin Sierra, arguing over a map.
"I'm telling you, it's north of here!" Roy shouted at the top of his lungs,"I've been here more times than you! Northern HQ has given you frostbite!"
"And I say it's farther east! I remember it was close to the river!" Sierra growled.
Meanwhile, Alphonse sighed and looked out the window. It was so sunny out, but he couldn't go out and play with Den when company was coming over. Ever since he got his body back, he was restless. He turned to his brother who was lying on the couch, "You think they're lost?"

Cathy sat in the back seat covering her ears. Those two always made such a racket when they traveled together. "Maybe I should have drive! You guys are gonna get us KILLED!" she yelled just as Roy nearly ran over a heard of cows crossing the road.
"This is why I normally drive!" Riza Hawkeye said and smacked both of the bickering cousins upside the head. The next warning shot will be with her gun.
~~~
Ed shrugged and flipped over on the couch so he was facing Al and yawned. "How can you get lost in a place like this? I thought we made it clear where we lived. I mean...there's only one house with a large sign that says "Rockbell automail," he muttered, ready to go back to sleep. "They'll get here eventually."

Al bit his lip. "I know... but they said they'd be here in 15 minutes... aren't you worried?" He tapped his foot impatiently. "Besides, when is Granny and Winry gonna be back with dinner? I'M STARVING!"
~~~
"HOLY SHI-" Roy yelped as he slammed on the breaks, nearly sending the party out the windshield.
Sierra's nose twitched and she pushed the bangs over her eyepatch away, "Fine Lieutenant, you drive. I'm getting out." She opened the car door and got out, slamming it shut.
"Great, now she's turning our dinner party into yet another family feud..."

Riza sighed and got out, walking to the driver's side. "Colonel, get out! I remember how to get to the Rockbell's from here..." she said, an annoyed mark showing on her forehead, trying to keep her eyebrow from twitching.
Cathy sighed and slumped in her seat. "Roy, you're horrible at driving!" she muttered, the poor girl almost passing out from a heart attack.
~~~
Ed twitched a little at how impatient Al was being, but he sat up and wiped his forehead. "Is it me or is it hot in here?" he asked, quickly going to the sink to get a glass of water.

The Colonel reluctantly took Sierra's seat as he watched her take off across the field. He was quiet the rest of the way there...
Sierra got to the Rockbell house in no time flat. How she did it was almost supernatural. She knocked on the door.
Alphonse shook his head, "I'm just fine, Ed. Maybe you're getting sick." He heard the door and he nearly jumped out of his seat. "They're here!" He sprinted to the door and opened it to find just the Brigadier General.
"S-Sierra? Where's the Colonel and the Lieutenant and Cathy?"
"On their way. I told Roy he was lost."
"I DID NOT GET LOST! YOU GIVE BAD DIRECTIONS!" Roy hollared as the car came to a stop and he stepped out angrily.

Cathy sprinted out of the car and fell to her knees. "LAND!! Dear sweet land!" she yelled, only getting a glare from her step brother.
Riza got out of the car and smiled. "Sorry we're late, Alphonse. Are the Rockbells in?"
Ed made a slight wave to the group after downing his glass of water and going for another one. "Hey, what's up. Can't talk...thirsty..." he muttered before downing a second glass and the 5 more after that.

Al brushed a hand along the back of his neck sheepishly and tugged on the leather strap around his neck that held the fang of a beast on the other end. He had found it when Ed found a seashell that caught his interest on Yock Island years ago. "Umm... Granny and Winry went to pick up the stuff for dinner. They said they'd be back soon."
"No worries, I'm not all that hungry anyway," Sierra replied in her cool voice. She glided into the house and took a seat on the couch. She watched Edward pass still drinking like he was dehydrated.
"What's on the menu?" Roy asked, "Just curious."
"Well... I really wanted chicken for some reason, so Granny said she'd go buy one. We're having potatoes with gravy and collared greens too on the side."
"Sounds wonderful."

"That sound delicious!" Cathy said, walking in and sighed. "I'm sooo hungry!" she then shrugged, feeling like she didn't want to eat chicken and would rather have vegetables and seeds instead. Shaking her head, she went in and sat down in a rocking chair she saw sitting in the corner.
"Are you okay, Edward? You look a bit pale..." Riza said and placed a hand on Ed's forehead. "You're burning up!"
"Am I?" Ed asked and took another glass of water and gulped it down. "I'm actually starting to feel a bit better."

"You keep drinking like that, you're gonna drown yourself, Fullmetal," Roy snickered.
Sierra rolled her eyes, "Just leave him alone, it's obvious he's coming down with something."
"I hope not!" Alphonse cried, "Brother getting sick so soon after coming home? And it's the middle of summer too!"
Roy blew air out of his mouth like a horse, "He'll be fine. It's not like I have any work to give him."
"You never have to work... EVER," Sierra snorted, "You either get Hawkeye to do it or send it to me. As if I don't have enough on my plate as it is."

Ed glared at Roy and set the glass of water down on the counter. "Maybe I have heat stroke or something. I mean, like Al said, it's in the middle of summer. I'll be fine..." he said and sighed.
"Maybe you should lay down for awhile," Riza said, shooting a glare at Roy and Sierra before turning back to Ed with a worried look on her face.
"Nah, I think I'm gonna go take a warm bath instead before dinner. That will help me sleep. Clean and a full stomach," he said and grinned.
Cathy giggled. "Wow, Ed. You're not like most guys I know."
Ed shrugged. "What? I like to keep clean? Traveling for 4 years and camping out in the boondocks is enough to drive you insane with no place to wash..."

"Well, it's a beautiful night, why don't we go outside for a bonfire until the Rockbells get home?" Roy suggested.
Al nodded, "Yeah and the moon is so big tonight! It's so nice!"
"Well you all have fun," Sierra waved to the group, "I'm gonna stay inside."
"What for?"
"I'm tired. Yelling at Roy takes a lot out of you."
The Colonel's eye twitched. "Don't get cocky just because you're a rank higher than me, I'm still older than you."
"Whatever..."

Cathy shot up and pumped her fist in the air. "Yeah! Bonfire sounds fun!" she said and grabbed Al's sleeve. "C'mon, help me find some firewood!"
Riza nodded to Roy. "Good idea. Let's go help them before they hurt themselves."
Ed smiled. "I'll join you guys later," he said and walked upstairs to the main bathroom. He turned the faucet on and let the bathtub fill as he removed his clothing. The only thing he kept on was the sea shell he kept on a chain that he found awhile back on Yock Island. Just the color of it and the swirl patterns intrigued him. He then bent over and held his chest. He felt a raging pain in his chest and a desprate need to get in the water. He then turned off the faucet, the tub filled just enough to cover his entire body and got in, sighing as the warm water consumed him.

"Okay!" Al exclaimed happily as he allowed himself to be dragged along by Cathy. His heart was pumping faster and faster and was about to leap out of his chest. W-What is this feeling? I.. Am I having a heart attack!? He collapsed on the ground outside and dug his fingers into the grass and dirt, screaming.
Roy slammed the back door open and stared in horror at Alphonse, "AL! AL! WHAT'S GOING ON!?"
"I... I HURT!! I HURT EVERYWHERE!!" He curled up into a ball and army crawled his way away from Cathy. Suddenly, his necklace began to glow brighter and brigher...
When the light faded... was something standing where Alphonse used to be... a beast of some kind with the head of a fox, the forefeet of a bird of prey, the back of a greyhound and the tail of a wolf.
"What... What the hell?" Roy asked in disbelief.
