Just want to point out... The 4th opening and ending song for FMA:B were so much awesomer than I remembered! *squee* I literally could not stop smiling when I heard it for the first time this time around watching the anime. (My goal is to reread and rewatch all Fullmetal Alchemist stuff multiple times; otherwise, I couldn't consider myself to be a TRUE fan. *insert me looking like Alex Armstrong when he's a "little" emotional* *rips shirt off* I'M COMING FOR YOU, ELRICS! *chases Ed and Al, although really only Ed*) (...What? I'm not gonna hug Al like that! I care for him too much! ;-;)

I was not able to reach Sepapa, so I had Scaehime look over the story instead. Hope you see this and enjoy it, Sepapa! Notice I put in "cinnamon" and "dogs" in here, since they were two of the other words you gave me as prompts. :3

On with the story!

Only one other time had Edward tried an Aerugan sweet: at one of the yearly festivals back in Resembool. Having a stall of foreign food at the festival in the tiny rural town was very surprising. It was so crowded, he had to stand in line for half an hour before reaching the front. However, the tedious waiting was worth it to try the layered, sugary treat sprinkled with cinnamon.

Sometimes, eating authentic food from a different country affects a person's body. However, it seemed to have affected Ed's sanity more than his digestion.

So when the two brothers were sitting in a train years later, and a cart was rolled around with fancy food straight from Aerugo (the Elrics seemed to have caught a train that mainly carried passengers going to a high-class event, so everything was nicer), Al advised him against it.

"What? Why?" Fullmetal asked his armored sibling.

"The last time you ate something from Aerugo, you were yelling that dogs were going to rule the world."

"I was just hyper from all the sugar." Ed huffed.

"JUST HYPER?! I know what you are like when you are hyper. That day you acted like you downed eleventy-seven cups of coffee within an hour!"

Of course, Alphonse's warning was still ignored as his brother ordered something, getting a discount when he showed his State Alchemist watch. He sighed and sank into the seat, careful to not scratch the wood with a spike on his suit of armor, and watched Ed devour his dessert. He worried that the elder may end up embarrassing himself.

He was right.

It was worse than the first time.

He feared for the safety of the other passengers.

I actually can imagine Ed running around like a chicken with its head cut off when eating a certain kind of food. Not just for the amount of sugar, but maybe some foreign ingredient that really just does not react well with his body...

For anyone that reviewed with a one-word prompt and has not gotten a PM, don't think it's because I haven't seen it. I just don't really feel like contacting you until I have something made. So be patient! ...Of course, I might just not come up with something and give up, and be too embarrassed to tell you that...

If you haven't read any of my other fanfics and are wondering what the heck this whole "one-word-prompt" is, there is an explanation in the AN on Cabinet, my profile page, and maybe one or two of my older one-shots. If you participate, I recommend to just write the most random thing you can think of. Not related to FMA at all. Like... "dinosaur". It's easiest for me to come up with something humorous if you don't think about the word. (...You are not allowed to say "dinosaur" now.)

K bai!
