Notes: Hi, thanks for reading my small collection of FMA shorts based on the first anime. They are from a time when I needed to be writing something - anything - and I used a random number generator to come up with prompts and characters. It created some interesting (strange) combinations.

I hate Dante, Envy thought. At least, more than usual. She called it "manning the base". He called it "babysitting the blob".

Wrath needed less looking after than this large creature that was ambling around the upper floor. Envy had missed him going up the stairs. At least that would have been humorous to watch.

Gluttony's sing song voice came floating down the stairs. It sounded like he was reciting a child's rhyme. It hurt Envy's ears.

The sound stopped, and Gluttony came stomping down the stairs. He waddled over and rested his head on the table that Envy was sitting at, attempting to read.

"Ennnnnvvvvvy. Need a color."

"What?"

"Color, for my rhyme."

"Orange."

"I don't like orange."

"You didn't ask for what you liked."

"Orange color of carrots." By the scorn in Gluttony's voice, Envy guessed that was a bad thing.

"Blue?"

"I don't know any food that blue."

"Blueberries are blue."

Gluttony lifted his head up and shook it. "They not. They purple inside."

Envy opened his mouth, then snapped it shut. He couldn't believe he was arguing with this tub of lard.

"White. Final offer."

"White?"

When Envy ignored him, he said again, "What food white?"

"Think about it." Envy didn't look up from his book. "Upstairs."

"Upstairs," Gluttony said. He turned and walked away. "Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs. What food white? White bread white. White sugar white. Envy skin white, but that not food..."

Envy turned his head, catching the last thing Gluttony said. He frowned. The fat creature wasn't as dumb as he looked.
