Teehee… sledding is so much fun. Especially when it involves nearly running over little white doggies in red coats and then nearly getting run over by heavier dads and getting soaked because you're just wearing a red sweater. Oh, and accidentally sticking your head in a burm. Brain freeze! I might write another ficlet involving sledding, I dunno.

Sledding

Colonel Roy Mustang sighed as he kicked back and relaxed. He was supposed to be at work, but last night's huge snowfall had the made the uphill journey to Central Command near impossible. Of course, he could have just melted it all, but he didn't really feel like it and besides, it might cause widespread flooding (now that was a feeble excuse). So here he was, being lazy, when he figured he should at least shovel his driveway. Getting up, he shoved on a coat, hat, and gloves and went outside.

That was when he heard the screaming. The very familiar sounding screaming.

"NII-SAN!"

"FASTER AL FASTER!"

"I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THAT! NII-SAN! STOP!"

"AL, THIS IS FUN! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE WENT SLEDDING!"

"YOU MEAN WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT SLEDDING! I'M NOT GOING SLEDDING AT ALL!"

A pause.

"NII-SAN, I'LL TELL THE COLONEL ON YOU!"

Confused, Roy looked up the hill at the bottom of which he lived. Zooming down at a very high speed was one midget red-coated alchemist. However his brother was nowhere in sight.

Funny. Roy had distinctly heard Al screaming. Then it clicked. Al was the sled. Ed had transmuted Al into a sled. And now he was zooming down the hill on his little brother.

An evil grin spread across Roy's face. He had just had a very vile thought. And he was going to follow through on it. Two birds with one stone and all. Quickly he doodled a small transmutation circle in the fresh snow in his driveway and activated it. The brothers' screams instantly changed.

"NII-SAN THERE'S A BURM!"

"AAAAAHHH!"

And all of a sudden there were two midget alchemist legs and the back end of a steel sled sticking out of the magically appearing burm in the middle of the road.

Al's voice was muffled. "Nii-san, I'm stuck."

"Mmmf."

"Nii-san, can you get me out?"

"Mmmf!"

"Nii-san, this is all your fault."

"Mmmffurgle!"

Smirking, Roy sauntered over. "Having a little trouble, Fullmetal?"

"MMMFF! UNT FORT! MMF MMF MMF MMMFFURGLE! BAFTURD!"

"Can you please get us out Colonel?"

Roy continued to smirk at Fullmetal's predicament. "I'd love to help you two out Alphonse. But snow and ice isn't exactly my forte."

"FET UFF OTE!"

"If you say so, Fullmetal." Mustang quickly drew another circle on the pile of snow that used to reside in his driveway and activated it.

The snow instantly melted to reveal a soaking-wet Edward Elric. "I really hate you, you know that? You could have just dug us out."

Roy didn't stop smirking for a minute. He patted Ed on the head. "But making you angry is so much fun."

Ed batted the hand away. "Bastard."

"At your service, Fullmetal. Now transmute your brother back and I'll make you some hot cocoa."
