The Gross Experiment

Resembool, Amestris 1909

It all started one peaceful quiet afternoon. Al had just gotten out of the shower, and he heard Ed sneeze loudly from their room. It was quiet for a few moments, then he heard it again.

"Brother?" he called.

He hoped he wasn't sick, but he seemed perfectly fine earlier. He actually seemed all worked up and excited about something. So he dried himself off then wrapped the towel around his waist to go check on him (he also needed to grab his clothes).

"Brother? Are you alright in here?"

Then right as he rounded the corner Ed sneezed again sending macaroni and cheese flying at him.

"….."

He wasn't really sure what to say. Here he was all clean until he just got sprayed with food that his brother purposely sneezed out.

"Sorry…" he apologized.

No you're not! Al thought.

He could easily tell that Ed was trying hard holding in all his laughter.

"Do I even want to know what you're doing?"

"I'm trying to figure out what the worst thing to sneeze" he answered.

"Eww! Brother you're disgusting!"

"So far I can't decide between bread and carrots" he continued not even listening to Al.

He had a few small bowels on the table full of different foods to try out, a feather to make himself sneeze, and a bucket to sneeze it out in. However he missed the bucket entirely once when Al came in.

"I'm getting back in the shower and I'm not coming out until you're done!" Al said as he walked back to the bathroom and tried to get the gross thoughts out his mind.

Years later when Al came to visit he had a strange sense of de ja vu. It started when he began to read the morning paper after breakfast. He heard an "Ewwwww!" from the other room, and his five year old niece Nina came running up to him moments later.

"Uncle Al brother's being gross!" she whined.

So Al got up to see what the problem was. Winry was running some errands, and Ed was still asleep, so he was keeping an eye on the kids to make sure they didn't get hurt or something. He walked down the hall and turned the corner into his nephew's room when he suddenly heard a loud sneeze and felt something splatter on him.

"…."

"Sorry Uncle Al…" he half apologized while holding in his laughter.

"Your sister said you were up to something gross in here" he said looking down at his seven year old nephew Maes.

"Well dad told me about this experiment he did to see what the worst thing to sneeze was, but he couldn't decide between bread and carrots, so I decided to try it out"

"Of course" he muttered.

Then he left the room not wanting to see any more of it.

Why does this always happen to me?

As he walked down the hall he spotted Ed coming out of the bathroom looking like he just got up. He stopped and raised an eyebrow when he saw Al.

"I blame you" Al told him.
