Edwarda Elric was standing at the front of the meeting room. "Alright guys," she said. "Let's start the meeting! If we join hands, we can solve all our problems! We've been through a lot over the past few years and there's nothing we can't overcome if we work together! Don't be afraid to voice your honest opinion! Let's start with the issue of defeating the homunculi! I know this is always debated but I think we can do it by building a time machine and going back to abduct several thousand Vikings and bringing them here to fight on our side. By the way, nobody is allowed to disagree with me."

Alex Louis Armstrong cleared his throat. "I agree with Edwarda."

Maria Ross slammed her fist down on the table. "Not again, sir! Do you ever have an opinion of your own?"

Alphonse Elric picked up the newspaper. "I object, Sister. Time travel is impossible."

Jean Havoc laughed. "I disagree with you both!"

Al stood up. "Make up your mind!"

Ed ran over and both siblings began poking Jean. "Is that your new hobby or something? Find a better one?"

Jean huffed. "Your opinions are fanatical. Unlike the two of you, I'm a gentleman."

Ed scowled. "I'm a lady! That better not have been a sexist remark!" The three began to fight.

"Ai-ya, aru," Greed sighed. "You Westerners are so immature. How about you sit down and I eat all my snacks, aru?"

"We'll just get hungry," the three replied.

"Can I have some?" Denny Brosh asked.

Maes Hughes glanced at his tea, then over at his neighbor. "I guess we have to wait this out, huh?"

Heymans Breda blinked. "What? I was thinking about how I was glad Black Hayate isn't here." He drifted off to sleep.

Maes was bored so he wandered over to where Roy Mustang was sitting, watching the proceeding with a smirk. "Hey, Roy. Some people think you're sexy. You should speak up."

Roy frowned, turning back to watch the fight. "Who me? No thanks. I want to see Falman try." He got up and went over to Vato Falman's chair. Vato sweatdropped and he went over to Kain Fuery. "Sounds good to me, what about to you, Fuery?"

Kain nodded automatically. "Now, Colonel Mustang, it isn't good to pick on your allies," Scar told him

"You have a lot of room to talk," Roy replied.

John Smith came out of nowhere. "Like, cut it out Mustang or I'll take over."

"Like you'd dare try," Roy snarled.

"I'm hungry," Ed said.

"No you don't, chief," said Jean, dragging her back into the fight.

"I'm eating all my snacks, aru!" Greed said loudly.

"I'll punch you both!" Shouted Al.

"Please calm down," Maes said to Roy.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" roared a loud voice.

"Lieutenant Hawkeye?" Al asked.

"Do we want another disaster on our hands or can we sit down and discuss this like civilized human beings?" Riza Hawkeye asked.

"Umm," said Al. "What about Greed and I?"

"You two count," Riza replied. She walked over to him, Ed, Jean and Roy. "I'm disappointed in all of you."

"You're right. Forgive me," said Al. "I must have gotten lost in the high emotions."

"Hmph. As long as you understand," she replied. "Back to your seats, all of you. I'm taking this meeting over as it seems I'm the only capable of maintaining order. Edwarda, Colonel, no arguing over seating arrangements. Those who wish to speak must raise their hands in an orderly fashion. They must present valid research and data to support their opinion. Each speaker has eight minutes and not a second more. AND ABSOLUTELY NO CHATTING!"

"I thank that's a wonderful compromise," said Rebecca Catalina. "Although you're not compromising at all."

"That settles it," said Riza. "Whenever you wish to speak, raise your hand." A hand was timidly raised. "Very well. I recongize Winry Rockbell."

"Umm," said Winry, "Okay. PASTA!"
