Breda, Havoc, and Roy make a bet that Roy won't have sex with a man. He does, but picks the wrong man—or, rather, boy—to mess around with. What are the repercussions of pissing off a dangerous young alchemist who happens to have a thing for you?

Alphonse, being the kind boy he is, has enrolled in Troubled Youth, a program where honor students help rougher kids study and improve their grades, often along with their attitude. Even when he is assigned to Envy, the scariest, most dangerous guy in the entire school, Al is not daunted. But Envy has a dark past, and Al will need Edward's help if he's going to help him. Modern day

Major Armstrong is throwing a dance for military members at his mansion. Somehow, he has roped over a hundred people into coming—some he forced, some he begged…now Roy and his crew, Ed, Al, and everyone else find them stuck at Armstrong's manor for the night.

After his failed human transmutation, Edward Elric is bolstered by the insistence of Roy Mustang that he keep going, and decides to become a State Alchemist and get his brother's body back. But Mustang has a hidden agenda, and convinces Granny Pinako to let him take the boys in, so that he can get closer to his favorite child.

While separated from Alphonse, Edward Elric makes his own preparations for the Promised Day. No plan is foolproof, however, and Ed finds himself a captive of the homunculi. His prison stay might not be all bad, but will it be good enough for him to leave a piece of himself behind?
