I said this fic would come out within 24 hours, didn't I? It may be the very end of the 24 hours, but I still have time. So here you have it, the prologue of my newest crack fic.

The Elric Diaries: Prologue

"Still no lead on how to make a Stone?" Mustang asked.

"No..." Edward replied through gritted teeth as he took of his coat and put it on a chair.

"Ok, you're free to go. Come back at eight, kid."

"See you later, Mustang," Edward said, and he walked out the door.

"Colonel Mustang!" Roy yelled back.

"Colonel Mustang," Edward mimicked in a high-pitched voice.

Roy sighed, and got up. He looked down, and saw something out of the corner of his eye. In Edward's coat pocket was a small book.

Mustang took it out, and expected to see alchemic notes. But that's not what he saw.

My Diary.

It was Edward's diary. He quickly locked the door and looked over the book, then read a couple of pages.

"Hehehehe..." he grinned evilly, and made a phone call.

"Hughes? I need Sheska, now. Have her bring a notebook," Mustang said.

"Ok then. Oh, and do you want to hear about what Elicia did today! She-" Hughes began to say, but Mustang hung up.

In a few minutes, Sheska came to Mustang's office. He handed her the diary, and told her to make a copy of it.

Three to four hours later, she came back, and handed Mustang the notebook, which now had everything that was in the diary written in it.

As she handed over the notebook and original diary, her face was red, and she was struggling not to burst out laughing.

"Good. Very good," Roy said with a grin, "You may go now."

Sheska left, barely able to speak.

Mustang put the diary back into Edward's coat, and opened the copy.

"We're going to have a lot of fun with this..."
