The Chaotic Life of Ed and Envy

Chapter One: This Can't be Happening

Ed and Envy stared at Roy in astonishment. Why would he even consider adopting the destructive trio? They remembered it all. Roy took them in their office, and told them he adopted Ed, Envy, and Al. Envy had nowhere to go and no power left, so he had no choice. He complied reluctantly, along with Ed. Al just flat-out agreed.

After the trio signed the paperwork, they were on their way to Roy's house. The car ride was boring. Everyone kept silent. Al was smiling happily, while Ed and Envy brooded about this whole situation. This was going to be a nightmare.

At Roy's house, the new brothers were shown to their rooms, and then were led to the living room to discuss some ground rules.

"Rule #1: No lying to anyone.

Rule #2: No disobedience.

Rule#3: No disrespect.

Rule #4 and the most important rule: No putting anyone in harm's way. This includes going out on dangerous missions, and even fighting. If anyone gets hurt, there will be consequences. Even if you spar, it will be with adult supervision. Understand?"

Everyone nodded.

"Now, there are consequences. If you do something of minor consequence, I might give you a time-out or take something away for a period of time. If you deliberately break one of the four most important rules, you will be either spanked or grounded. Now there is swearing. There will be no swearing in this family. If you swear, I'll wash out your mouth with soap. Understood?" He said the last statement while looking mostly at Ed.

Everyone nodded. Ed rolled his eyes. This was REALLY going to be a nightmare.

I know it's short. Maybe even Ed-sized. Still R&R!
