A "Quiet" Afternoon at the Mustang Estate
"Dang! Missed it again!" muttered an irritated Rei Mustang who was still looking down the scope of the sniper rifle she and her mother had been passing back and forth during their afternoon practice session, which today, consisted of shooting at targets that had been placed at insane distances and hidden by foliage that they had found nearby.
"Don't make too much of a fuss over it. I had to train for ages to get that kind of range. Here, allow me." Riza said simply, adding a smile on the end as her daughter reluctantly handed her the weapon. She took it, aimed, and fired, hitting the target directly in the center. "By the way, I think your grandfather and uncles were planning on joining us, or at least your father, for tea and dinner. They should be here soon. Do you want to head in for the day?"
"Not yet. Hey! I just though of something I'd like to try! May I?" Rei asked excitedly gesturing for her mother to hand her the gun, while smiling wickedly.
Riza grinned back, and handed over the rifle. "I think I know what you're going to do. Just don't set the whole woods on fire."
Meanwhile…
"So where's the wife and her little side-kick/clone a.k.a. Rei Mustang?"
Havoc nonchalantly asked while sipping on a cup of tea.
"Good question, where are they, Roy?" Grumman asked as he moved a chess piece.
"Well… "Began Roy when all of a sudden the ear-splitting sound of a nearby explosion hit the mansion, along with what felt like a 5.0 earthquake that caused everything in the house to rattle madly and all the occupants to dive under tables and into doorways.
After recovering from the shock of the blast, Riza and Rei slowly got up and peeked over the large boulder they had ducked behind. "Rei."
"Yeah?" she replied nervously, still shaken from the magnitude of the explosion she had created.
"You did that with one bullet, right." She asked, not a hint of anger in her voice.
"Uhhuh. I just condensed the oxygen in the air around the target and the bullet." She replied, no longer scared that her mother was angry. They both looked at each other, eyes meeting for a fraction of a second before…
"THAT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME !" they both exclaimed simultaneously. "now I wish that I had learned alchemy just so I can do that trick!" Riza exclaimed.
"Awesome isn't it!" she replied happily, "I may have overdone it a bit though…" Riza's face then dropped. " Ohh man, your father is going to KILL us. Me, for letting you try your little experiment, and you for clearing out a good portion of the woods."
Rei's eyes widened and her her expression became one of fear, "Oops?"
