"Envy. Envy, wake up or you'll be late for school" said a voice from the sleeping boy's bedside. Envy slowly opened his eyes as he sat up in his bed. "Good morning Lust…" said the young, dark haired boy sleepily. "Come little brother. Let's get ready for school.

Chapter 1: The Morning Before the Storm

Envy slowly gets out of bed and walks toward the bathroom with his older sister, lust. The two of them washed their faces and brushed their teeth together. "Hey Lust…?" asked the meek hearted Envy. "Yes Envy?" said Envy's black haired sister. "Could you…walk to school with me today…?" asked a very nervous Envy. Lust looked into the bathroom mirror in front of her as she brushed her long hair. "Hm? What for little brother?" Lust asked. Envy looked down into the bathroom sink in front of him and sighed to himself. Lust stopped brushing her hair and looked at her distraught younger brother. "Envy?" Lust called. Envy looked up at Lust with worry. "Some of the humans at my school…they like to bully any Homunculus they see…" said Envy. "That's just how children are at your age." said lust as she continued to brush her hair. "Just tell a teacher and It will be fine." Lust said as she finished brushing her hair.

"That never helps…the teachers do nothing…!" said Envy as fear welled up in his voice. Envy's words made Lust worry a bit. Lust looks down at her brother and sees the worry in his eyes. "What?" asked Lust. "They don't do anything…!" said Envy. Lust turns to Envy and pats him on the head. Envy looks up at Lust and see's her smiling down at him. "Very well then, Envy. I will walk with you." said Lust as she turned back to the mirror.

The morning sun shines brightly as the Envy and his older sister Lust walk to school. Envy walked hand and hand with Lust gradually stealing glances at her. "Lust is so confident and she's always smiling and she never gets scared." Thought Envy as he gazed at his big sister. "How can she smile so much with everything that always happens?" continued Envy as he thought to himself. "My my little brother. If you keep staring at me like that, I may begin to think you've fallen for me." joked Lust. Envy's face went red as a beat at Lust's words. Envy quickly turned away from Lust in embarrassment. "Tha-That's gross! Don't say creepy stuff like that!' Envy shouted. "Now, now. I'm only joking." said Lust before letting out a slight chuckle.

Envy and Lust arrive at the school they both attend. The school yard was full of students ranging from elementary to high school students. Their school, Amestris Central Academy, is built from three large connecting buildings. The left building is called the Elementary Wing, the building on right is called the Secondary Wing, and the large, middle building is known as Crossroad Hall and is also where the main office is located. Each Wing has its own facilities. A Faculty Offices, a Nurse's Office, a Library, a Cafeteria, etc. Crossroad Hall also houses a large dining hall in which it is used for special events.

"Will you be ok here or would you like me to walk you to class?" asked Lust. Envy looked at his sister then slowly looked to the Elementary Wing then back at Lust. "I'm good here." said Envy with a sigh. Lust turned to Envy and crouched down in front of him. "Listen Envy, if anything happens today, I want you to tell me after school." Lust instructed, putting her hand on Envy's shoulder. Envy nodded his head in conformation. "But if there's no other choice and something bad happens, I want you to run to the Faculty Office. " Lust added. "Ok…" said a reluctant Envy. "Honestly, I don't see why you keep babyin' 'em so much sis." said a voice from behind the two of them.

Lust and Envy turned around and saw a boy wearing a Secondary Wing uniform with long black hair going down his back. "Greed." called Lust. "Yo. How's it goin' guys?" Greed greeted as he walked toward his two siblings. "Greed, did you walk Pride and Gluttony to their class?" asked Lust. "Yeah yeah. The runt's made there on time..." said an annoyed Greed. "Seriously Greed…father won't be happy if anything happens to your little brothers under your watch." stated Lust. "I know, I know! Damn, you're annoying." said Greed as he looked at Lust and then Envy. "They're safe and sound in their classrooms, ok? Lay off." Greed groaned. Envy quietly looked at his older brother. Greed gave Envy grin then turned and walked off to the Secondary Wing. "Let's walk home together 'kay? Later twerp." said Greed as he waved to his siblings with his back to the two of them.

"Well, I must be going to class now. Have a good day, little brother." said Lust. "Yeah…you to." Envy said, giving Lust a faint smile. With that, Lust turned and walked away towards Crossroad Hall. Envy was now on his own. The crowd of students began to thin as Envy began to walk in silence to his class room located the Elementary Wing.
