"Oh yeah right!" Sierra growled, "What if Winry comes home and sees you like this!? Poor girl'll have a stroke!" She carried him over to the doorway, "Besides, don't expect to move on your own, cripple! I'll get you to water soon, just bear with me!"
~~~
Al could hear Ed's cries as well and whimpered, putting his tail between his legs. "What is going on up there?"
"Seems like Sierra's brand of tough love once again," Roy sighed shaking his head from side to side. The mane against his thick neck felt strange to him, long hair was never his thing.

"Cripple!? I'm not a cripple!!" he yelled, insulted. Ed stopped and gulped, thinking about Winry. Her and Granny will be home soon. "What are we gonna do? We can't just leave without warning!"
Cathy hoped inside and looked up the stairs, seeing it was a long way up. "Ugh...who invented stairs anyway?" she said and looked at her wings. She then started flapping, putting all her strength into it until her small talons lifted off the ground. "HA! Knew I could do it!" she said and flapped her way up the stairs. "Miss Sierra! Ed!~" she called.

"You're the only one with thumbs, write a note," Sierra replied angrily. Her ears then perked up at her name. She dropped Edward as she cried out to her step-cousin. "UP HERE! HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE!?"
~~~
Al's sensitive ears heard the *thump* Ed made against the floor of the second story. "Ouch..."
"Poor Fullmetal..." Roy grimaced, wincing when he heard it too.

Ed let out a moan as he hit his head on the hard wood floor. "Damn cat breath..." he muttered and looked up as a small bird fluttered up in front of him. "CATHY??" he asked in disbelief.
"Edo! Haha! You're a mermaid!" she laughed.
Ed twitched. "I'm not a merMAID!" he yelled, almost blowing the little bird back on her back.
"Ah...I'm sorry. Merman...Better?" she asked and smiled.
"Not really..." he muttered. "So what are you suppose to be?" he asked and reached forward to touch her, only to be electrocuted to the bone. "Ow! Ow! OW!!!!"
"Wah! Don't touch me! I'm a lightning bird!" Cathy said and whined, feeling bad for Ed. "If only I can control my electric shocks..." She then looked up at Sierra. "Um, well everyone's really freaked out. Do you know what happened?"
~~~
Riza hid her face under her talons. "I don't think Ed's going to survive by the time they get outside."

The mngwa nodded. "Yeah. I'll explain everything once we get Ed out of here. In the meantime, see if you can find a piece of paper and something to write with. We can't leave this place without causing the Rockbells alarm."
~~~
Al whined again and trotted over to the back door. "Ed? Are you okay? The Colonel and Lieutenant think you're going to die up there!"
"Way to take things out of context..." Roy sweatdropped.

Cathy saluted her with her right wing and flapped on over to a table where there was a notepad and a pen. She then tried picking them up with her talons with great difficulty then dropped them in front of Ed.
Ed lifted his head and shook away the electrical shock and tried to clear his head before writing down a note to Winry and Pinako. "Dear Winry and Granny. Sorry we had to leave so suddenly, but something came up at HQ. We'll talk to you tomorrow. ~Ed~"
Riza sighed. "Well, with the way Sierra's handling him, he may not survive..." she muttered.

After going downstairs, Sierra walked Edward over to the kitchen table to deposit the note and pen. As she turned she saw Alphonse staring at them in horror.
"No... not you too! B-BROTHER!!" He began to wail as he fell back on his rear. "WAAAHH!!! NOT ED TOO!!! AND MISS SIERRA'S GONNA EAT HIM TOO!!!"
"I need to get in that house!" Roy stomped angrily. He was too big to get in though, so he didn't even bother to try.

Cathy flapped over to Al and waved her wings at him. "Oh no!! Sierra's just carrying Ed outside because...well, he doesn't have legs..." she said and sweat dropped.
Ed plopped the note on the table and gasped. "Okay...take me outside," he said, starting to sweat and feeling the urge to drink lots of water again. "Before...I pass...out..."

Sierra nodded and made a mad dash outside, completely knocking Al off his already wobbly feet. She aimed straight for her cousin and lept onto his back.
"HOLY SHIT THAT HURTS!" Roy whinnied as he reared up. That only made the pain worse for him as Sierra dug her claws deeper into his back.
"HOLD STILL YOU IDIOT! I'M TRYING TO HELP ED!"
"SIERRA!? JESUS CHRIST, THAT'S YOU!?" He stopped rearing long enough for her to get off but leave Ed on his back. He turned his head angrily toward the mngwa and snorted.
Al barreled outside, not as fast, but just about. He lost his footing and rolled out of the house, landing on his stomach in front of Riza. His ears drooped as he looked up at the griffin in embarrassment.

Cathy flapped outside and panted. "Man, being small blows!! You guys are way faster than I am..." she said and collapsed on her belly, her wings lay spread out to her sides.
Ed didn't even take time to realize he was on Roy's back. All he knew was that his world was starting to fade and his throat was as dry as the Ishbal desert. "Water...need...water..." he gasped.
Riza trotted over to Ed and Roy and looked closely at the boy. "So Ed's a mer...er...man?" she asked and shrugged. "At least he's still half human."

Sierra glared at her cousin and roared, "Get him to the river, NOW!"
"Eh!? Oh... RIGHT!" Roy turned his head to Edward, "Hold on, Fullmetal. We'll get you to water!" He took off, stumbling a bit at first as he was still getting used to his new body, but managed to get his footing as if he was doing this for all his life.
Sierra scooped the tired Cathy onto her back, obviously unscathed by the bird's electrical current. "Let's go after them. We can't stay here any longer."
"But Granny and Winry!" Al began to protest. Then he remembered why she was concerned. He looked down at his feet and then back up at her. "O-Okay. As long as you tell us what's going on when we get to the river!"

Ed grabbed a hold of Roy's mane, pulling it a little too tight since he was slippery and ready to slide off at any moment.
Cathy clung to Sierra with her feathers and looked up. "I don't shock you?" she asked then petted her cousin's fur. "You're so soft!" she said and buried the side of her head into her fur.
Riza looked at Al and bent down. "Here, Al. Get on."

The enfield nodded and climbed onto Riza's back. He knew she was faster than him, he was still so tired and weak from hunger. He never did get his chicken dinner...
Sierra, though she had a stern look on her face, began to purr. She took off in Roy's direction and did her best to catch up to him. "I'll run behind you in case he falls!"
"I don't think that'll be a problem!" Roy hollared back as he winced at Ed's grip.
----
Because everyone had become significantly faster and stronger, getting to the river took almost no time at all. The giant cat yawned and stretched as she lay down by the riverbank. Roy dipped his one wing into the water and allowed Edward to slide off of him. Al took his post next to his brother and then looked at Sierra with a glare.
"Okay. NOW TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO US!!"

Ed suddenly rolled off of Roy's back and into the water with a splash. "COLD!!" he yelled as he surfaced the water. He then blinked and pointed at Roy. "HORSE FACE!!" he yelled.
Cathy stifled a giggle. "I told you Onii-chan looked funny..."
Riza sighed as she folded her wings to her sides and sat on her lion ass. It was dark and there was no one around. That was a good thing. "Yes, please tell us what happened back there. Is this why you had us all come out to Resembool?"

Sierra sighed and repeated everything she had told Edward much to Al's horror. The only ones who weren't paying attention were Ed and Mustang...
"'HORSE FACE'!? I SAVED YOUR LIFE YOU UNGRATEFUL GUPPY!"
