Half a Sandwich
Ed and Al were at Resembool, "We haven't seen Granny in a while," Al said.
"So?" Ed asked,
"We should see her!" Al declared.
"You can see her, but I won't."
"Come on it'll be fun, let's go see her now!" Al said excitedly.
"Fine," Ed mumbled bitterly.
"Yay!" Al said excitedly clapping his hands.
"Let's go," Ed said with a sigh.
At Granny's.
Al pounded on the door a little too hard and broke it, "Who is it...What happened to the door!?" Pinako asked. She looked at who was standing the doorway. "Oh hi Al," Pinako greeted.
"Oh hi Granny," Al said coming in.
"Hey what about me?" Ed asked still standing in the doorway.
"Oh yeah hi Ed," Pinako mumbled.
Two minutes later.
Then Winry woke up and came down stairs, "Hi Winry," Al greeted.
"Al what're you doing here?" Winry asked still a little sleepy.
"We came to see Granny and you!" Al explained her.
"He made me," Ed mumbled.
"He came willingly," Al told her.
"Okay," Winry said with a shrug.
At lunch they were having lunch meat sandwiches and milk for some odd reason. "Ed, drink your milk!" Pinako ordered Ed.
"No I don't have to if I don't wanna," Ed refused.
"Drink it!" Pinako ordered him again.
"No!" Ed refused once again.
Al stepped in, "don't fight we're here to have a good time.
"Butt out!" Ed snapped at him.
"Ed don't yell at him!" Pinako said defending Al.
"Just leave me to eat my sandwich in peace!" Ed said.
"No, you can't have your sandwich until you drink your milk," Pinako told him.
"Well you already gave me my sandwich so I win."
"But I took it," Pinako pointed out, just then Ed realized she had taken it.
"Hey Al give me your sandwich Granny can make you another one."
"No, you yelled at me plus Granny said you couldn't have any until you drank your milk, anyway I don't have a sandwich, remember I can't eat?" Al reminded him.
"Darn it, it use to work when we were kids," Ed muttered.
"No it wouldn't have worked I'd just take it from you and give it back, like I always did, you never took Al's food," Pinako reminded him.
"I'm just going to make my own!" Ed said.
"Oh no you're not!" Pinako said.
"Yes I am, right now," Ed stood up.
"No just sit down," Winry and Al begged him. "No I must be my own man now," Ed went to make a sandwich.
"NOOOO!" The two screamed dramatically.
"Sit down now Edward," Pinako warned through her teeth.
"Why?" Ed asked clearly not afraid of her.
"Because I'll attack you." Pinako told him.
"Ooh scary," Ed mocked.
"You shouldn't have said that," Winry sighed shaking her head.
"You're gonna get it," Al said in the manner as Winry.
There was fire in Pinako's eyes, as she stood. "O-okay I'll drink my m-milk," Ed trembled giving in. But a few minutes later Ed started again, "I'm not drinking my milk!" Pinako gave him an evil look. Ed swallowed, "f-fine I'll drink it," he gave in again.
"Good, I was scared I thought she was really gonna kill you!" Al said.
"Me too," Winry agreed.
Ed drank the milk as quickly as possible to get it over with. "There I drank it, now can I have my sandwich?" Ed asked.
"No you gave us too much trouble," Pinako told him.
"What, you mean I drank the milk for nothing!?"
"You didn't drink it for nothing Brother you're still alive," Al reminded him.
"That's nothing, I want my sandwich!"
"You're definitely not getting it in that attitude you're too demanding try asking nicely." Pinako told him.
"May I please have a sandwich?" Ed asked politely.
"Say sorry to Al," Pinako told him.
"I'm really, really sorry Al, for being mean to you." Ed apologized. "It's oaky Brother I forgive you."
"And to Winry," Pinako told him.
"What for, I didn't yell at her?" Ed asked.
"Just do it!" Pinako barked.
"I'm so sorry Winry for um doing whatever I did to you."
"Okay you can have half a sandwich," Pinako told him handing half a sandwich to him.
"Thank you," Ed said politely.
"See being nice gets you things," Al told him.
"You're right, I should be nicer," Ed agreed.
"Whoa you made him nicer," Winry said sarcastically. After Ed finished his half a sandwich he sat in silence then finally spoke up.
"How can I get the other half?" Ed asked.
"Be polite for a half an hour and do what we say," Pinako said. Ed sighed, but agreed.
"Yes ma'am."
A few minutes later.
"Ed, can you get me some milk," Winry called. "Yes ma'am," Ed said as polite as he could. It had only been a few minutes and they had been requesting him to do all kinds of ridiculous things, Winry had changed her mind on what she wanted to drink four times already and it was getting really annoying.
Ed came back with a glass of milk, "nah, I've changed my mind I want um juice," Winry said.
"Are you sure this time?" Ed said trying his best to stay calm and polite.
"Yes I am," Winry said, being rather amused at Ed's attempt to stay polite and calm. Ed went to go get Winry some juice.
"Um, Winry, you probably should take it this time," Al told her, feeling sympathy for his brother. Winry nodded in agreement. Ed came back in holding a glass of juice.
"Thanks Ed," Winry said taking the glass.
"Ed make me some eggs!" Pinako demanded.
"Yes ma'am," Ed went to make some eggs.
"Ed, can you take my glass," Winry called.
"I'm coming," Ed came to get the glass.
"Thanks Ed," Winry said. "Ed where's my eggs!" Pinako asked.
"Oh, they're coming," Ed told her. Ed went back to finish making the eggs quickly . When they were done he brought the eggs to her. It had almost been a half an hour. "Bring me a hat Ed!" Al said.
"Okay," Ed said trying to stay calm. He went and got him and hat and handed it to him.
Ed gotten them a whole bunch of things clothes, food and drinks. It was one more minute before it had been a half an hour. Ed was counting he remaining seconds '59, 58, 57, 56,' no one was requesting anything right then since they had run out of ideas. Once time was up Ed instantly asked for the other half of the sandwitch. "Can I have the other half now?"
"Um what?" Pinako asked trying to pretend she had no idea what he was talking about.
"The other half of the sandwich that you promised me."
"Oh that sandwich, yeah about that Winry got hungry and ate it," Al told him. Ed was surprisingly calm and silent.
Winry was the next to speak, "Um Ed—"
"Okay, then," Ed said calmly. "I hate you Granny, I love you Al most of the time but not right now, right now I hate you. And Winry, I have no opinion on you at all, I don't have any feelings towards you what so ever." Everyone looked at Ed shocked.
"Well bye no one follow me." Ed walked out of the still broken down door.
"Wait where is he going?" Al asked sadly.
"I don't know," Winry said a little worried.
"So he left then, so who should we really give the other half to?" Pinako asked revealing a baggy with the other half of sandwich.
"I'll take it too him, it was really mean what we did there," Winry took the sandwich from Pinako.
"Oh that's no fun," Pinako said disappointed.
Winry went out and looked for Ed.
…."And then they ate my other half of the sandwich," Ed said.
"Really, that's horrible," Mustang said. Somehow Ed had gotten to Central really fast.
"Yeah that was horrible, you did everything they asked you too right?" Hawkeye asked.
"Yes I did, every single last thing," Ed said angrily.
Hughes gasped, "You can have the rest of my sandwich!"
"Thank you, but you should eat it, I'm not really in the mood anymore." Ed told him.
Back where Winry is.
"Guys I can't find him anywhere I looked for him everywhere," Winry said panicking.
"Oh so that's why it took you almost an hour and a half to get back here," Pinako said.
"Oh no, where could he be!" Winry said.
"Oh maybe in Central," Al suggested.
"He couldn't get there that fast," Winry said.
"He could've, we never really know," Al said.
Two days later.
Ed was talking to Hughes. "Yeah but i was their slave for an entire half an hour." Ed said.
"Yeah that's pretty sad, they didn't give you the other half of sandwich," Hughes said.
"Brother!" Al said relieved to see him. Ed crossed his arms and turned his head, "I'm not talking to you guys."
"We're sorry Ed, we were just messing with you Winry didn't really eat your—" Ed walked off before he could finish, Al sighed.
"Have you seen Ed?" Winry asked Hawkeye, Winry, Al and Pinako had split up to search for Ed when they got to Central.
"Yeah he and Hughes went out shopping I think, I think to get groceries." Hawkeye said. Winry thanked her and left.
"Hey aren't you the guy who forced Ed to become state alchemist?" Pinako asked.
"Yes and I didn't force him to become a state alchemist," Mustang told her.
"Whatever, have you seen him?"
"Yeah he and Hughes went out shopping I guess."
Around a half an hour later.
"Al did you find him?" Pinako and Winry asked Al nodded.
"Yeah but he took off, he was still mad," Al told them.
"Over a half sandwich?" Pinako said.
"You don't get it," Al began, "he's not upset because you didn't give him the sandwich he's upset because of the way we treated him."
"Yeah, Al's right we should've treated him better." Winry said.
Suddenly they heard clapping, they turned around and saw Ed. "You two are right that is why I was upset," Ed said.
"We're so sorry Brother." Al apologized. "Apology accepted, I'm not really that mad anymore." Ed told him.
"Well here's the half sandwich we owe you, I never really ate it, Pinako thought it'd be funny to lie to you." Winry told him handing him the half sandwich from two days ago. The sandwich had already gone bad.
"You lied to me?" Ed asked.
"Yes, yes we did, and you fail for it." Pinako said as she started laughing.
All four of them (Including Hughes, that were standing in the background) walked away angrily from Pinako. "Aw come on guys I was just joking." Pinako said. 'I really hate her,' Ed thought in his head.
End.
