Here it is peoples! The short random story completely dedicated to my readers who have reviewed on The Blood Alchemist. It took me forever to get around to writing it because I was working on a new chapter. But, I have to say, I really enjoyed writing this, especially since your pen names gave me crazy ideas for this. I'm going to be separating this into chapters so don't freak out if you don't find yourself mentioned in the one below. I promise I will be getting to each and everyone of you that reviewed. I'll be updating another chapter on this as soon as possible.

Anyways, enjoy!

Ed and Al were lost, in a swamp no less.

"We have the worst luck." Ed muttered, kicking away the eleventh frog that had jumped on his foot.

"I told you we should have heeded that sign." Al scolded him.

"That sign told us nothing." Ed retorted. Indeed, before entering this swampy area the brothers had come across a sign. On it read, "warning746". Ed had no idea what it meant and had completely ignored it. Al had been more hesitant but had followed his older brother dutifully. Now they were both paying for it.

"This isn't going very well." Al commented.

"No kidding!" Ed replied sarcastically.

"You don't have to yell!" Al said, shouting himself.

"I'll yell if I want to!" Ed shot back. Another frog hopped onto his boot. "Get off me!" Ed growled, kicking his leg forcefully into the air. The frog went sailing, almost whacking Al's metal face, and landed somewhere past him and beside…

"Hey, who's that?" Ed wondered, exchanging curiosity for rage.

Off in the tall grass was a girl. She sat on a old log staring down at a laptop sitting on her lap. She was so engrossed in what she was typing she didn't even see the brothers.

"Maybe she knows how to get out of here. Let's go ask her!" Al was about to go do just that when Ed stopped him.

"Don't you think it's a little odd that someone's out here in the middle of nowhere?" he asked suspiciously.

"We're out here." Al reminded him.

"…Good point."

Together they approached the girl.

"Excuse us but do you know the quickest way to civilization?" Al asked politely.

The girl didn't respond, almost as if she had never heard them. She stayed focus on the computer, the light of the screen reflecting off of her glasses.

"Hellooo. Anyone alive in there?" Ed waved his hand in front of her.

She swatted him away, eyes never leaving her laptop, "Go away. I'm busy."

Ed was about to react rudely but Al elbowed him. Ed narrowed his eyes at him but surrendered, trying it his way for once. Matching Al's polite tone, Ed asked, "But what could be more important than helping two lost brothers."

Typing furiously, the girl answered, "I'm trying to finish my new chapter so I can update! Go away!"

Ed, face red with anger, marched off. "Come on, Al! We don't need her help."

Al didn't want to give up so easily. He tried to get through to her another way, "What's your name."

Her gaze never left the screen and Al began to worry that she was ignoring him but she answered, "Nayru."

"Nayru, can you please tell me how to get to the nearest town from here."

Still typing, she lifted one hand and pointed in a direction.

"Thank you very much." Al bowed to her and rushed off find Ed.

Ten minutes later…

"Are you sure she said this way?" Ed questioned grumpily.

"Positive." Al affirmed, although it appeared that they were becoming even more hoplessly lost.

All of a sudden, a girl popped out from behind a tree.

"Who are you?" Ed asked.

The girl's eyes glinted as she said, "The name's Bree." She flicked her wrist and a small object flew towards Ed. He ducked, barely escaping the pointy tips of the throwing star.

"What the hell did you do that for!" Ed yelled.

An evil smile crept upon the girls face, "Cause I'm a ninja." Then she cocked her head as if listening to the wind. "Got to go. Katana Miiruken is calling me." Then she bounded away.

"I wonder what that was about." Al said.

"Me too. If I see that chick again she won't get away so easily next time." Ed vowed.

Another ten minutes later…

"What's that?" Al asked, as something moved in the bushes.

The brothers prepared for the worst but instead a girl stepped out into the clearing.

"Oh great, someone else. This swamp is just teeming with strange girls." Ed said.

"Hi guys." the new girl greeted them with familiarity.

"Do we know you?" Ed asked with a bored expression. He was positive that he had never seen this girl before in his life. He would have remembered the odd purple streaks in her long hair.

The girl seemed ready to cry, "You don't remember me?"

"Uh, should we?" Al asked.

She let tears stream down her face now, "After all that we've been through I can't believe you guys forgot about me! You're mean!" Then she unceremoniously threw a cookie at Ed's face and ran away.

"Hey!" Ed caught it as it thunked off of his forehead.

"Why did she get so mad?" Al asked mostly to himself.

Ed shouted after her, "I'm eating this!" He then proceeded to chomping off a bite. "Huh, this is pretty good." He was about to go in for another bite when a person jumped out of nowhere and snatched away his cookie and broke it to pieces.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Ed shouted.

The newcomer's only response was, "I'm the cookie crumbla." Then the person ran back to wherever they came from.

"What in gate's name is going on!" Ed raged. "Where are all these weirdoes coming from?"

"We should leave." Al said nervously.

"That's sounds like a great idea." Ed muttered.

Another ten minutes later…

"It's raining." Al observed.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious." Ed said. Already water was beginning to soak his clothes. They needed to find a way to get out of this formidable rain.

Before anything more could be said or done, a teddy bear walked out onto the scene.

"…What is that?" Ed pointed at the thing uncertainly.

"Aw, it's cute!" Al cooed.

"It's moving. Why is a stuffed animal moving!" Ed panicked as the bear padded over to them.

Then the bear drew out a knife and said, "Teddy's not gonna take it anymore."

"I changed my mind. It's not cute after all." Al said.

"Run away!" Ed screamed and they scampered off.

Another ten minutes later…

"Is it still following us?" Ed asked, panting.

Al swiveled around, "No. I think we lost it…whatever that was."

"Jeez, this swamp is going to be the death of me."

"This swamp is the least of your concerns." said a voice.

The brothers had already been having a bad day. To make matters worse the homunculi had shown up.

"We have the worst luck." Ed muttered for the second time that day.
