Ding dong! The door bell rang.
"I'll get it! Oh, Lieutenant Colonel!"

"Ah, Lieutenant Lily, and please, call me by my real name."

"Oh, so sorry, Roy Mustang, I didn't mean to offend you!" said Lily.

"Oh, of course not!" Roy replied.

Lily blushed and shyly said, "Uh... Oh! Not to be rude, but what is your state of business?"

"Well, um...Oh, thats right! HE's my state of business." Said Roy gloomily.

"Who?" asked Lily.

"Well, him." Roy said uneasily. Lily looks around Roy and sees a huge dog behind him.

"Your state of business is about Nina's dog, Alexander?"
Lily looks more closely and notices a small boy under the enormous dog.
"Alexander, get off of him!" Lily runs to the boys aid.
"Oh my god, are you okay?!"

The small boy says, "Yeah, I am fine, just don't tell him to roll over."

A man in a suit of armor picks up the small boy and carries him to the living room.

"Oh! So you're the Elric brothers?" Questioned Lily.
She walked over to the giant man in the armor.
"So, are you Edward Elric, the older brother?" She asked.

The man in the armor replies uneasily, "Um, well, actually he's the older brother," he said as he pointed to the little boy, "I'm Alphonse Elric the younger brother."

"You mean that short little pipsqueak is the full metal alchemist? I bet he can't even be seen by a magnifying glass!" Lily taunted.

"Pipsqueak?" Ed fumed between gritted teeth, "Who are you calling a pipsqueak that can only be seen by magnifying glass?!?"

"Calm down big bother!" Al said uneasily.

"I'm sorry to offend you, but look how much more mature the younger bother can be!" said Lily.

"You know Lily, he's trying to become a state Alchemist," said a voice.
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice.

"Shou Tucker! Sorry, I forgot the guests are here!" said Lily confidently.

"Shut up!" Shou Tucker snapped angrily. "You let two complete strangers wander into my house! Did you even think about Nina?! Did you?!"

"I-I'm so sorry sir but-"

"Just go go in the backyard with Nina and Alexander.: Shou Tucker yelled, cutting Lily off.
Lily got up from where she was sitting and slowly walked to the door. She opened the door to the backyard, then she whispered with regret,

"I really am sorry."
She the exited the building and closed the door behind her without looking back.

"Sorry about that. Now that she's gone, we can talk."
