A/N: Hey, guys, Angie here! As promised, here is Behind the Scenes! This is where I'm going to put the omakes(one-shots/drabbles) For A Brighter Flame, Another Hope. Hope you like!
This is set during Chapter Nine, while Ed and Angeline are recovering from the surgery.
Phobias
It started off as a regular day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing merrily.
Edward sat under a large oak tree, reading a complex alchemy book. His automail arm creaked as he turned the page.
Next to him was Angeline. She had her arms nestled behind her head and was staring at the clouds, daydreaming.
Everything was calm.
Then Angeline let out a piercing shriek. She jumped up, still screaming, and leapt behind Ed.
Ed looked at her, alarmed. "What's wrong?" All Angeline could do was let out small ahs and point a trembling finger behind him.
Slowly, Ed turned around, dreading to know what had freaked Angeline out.
It was a small green garden snake.
If Ed was in an anime, he would have sweatdropped. As it was, he was in a fanfiction, so all he could do was stare.(Hello, sets? Is that Nuggets? Hi, Nuggets. Could we get a fourth wall in this fanfiction, please? Yes, a real one. Thanks)
"...It's a snake."
"Yes, I know! Kill it, kill it!" Angeline squeaked.
Ed raised an eyebrow. "It's a harmless little snake. I don't need to kill it. Why are you acting oddly anyways?"
Angeline flushed. "I-I'm afraid of snakes." She whispered.
Angeline.
The mighty Angeline, the mysterious stranger, the girl who had jumped into his life, was afraid of snakes?
It was too much for Ed. He burst into laughter. The snake slithered away.
"You're afraid of snakes? Really?"
"Shut up!" Angeline whacked him with her automail arm. "It isn't funny!"
He struggled to contain his laughter. "Sorry. Out of curiosity, what else are you afraid of?"
She blushed even more and looked down. "Uh...Heights...and maybe big dogs…" She mumbled. It caused him to burst into more laughter.
"Can it, pipsqueak!" Under her breath, she muttered, "How'd I ever have a crush on him?" Luckily, Ed didn't hear her, since he was already going off on a rant.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL HE COULD RIDE A FLEA?!"
"You."
"AARGH! I'LL RIP OFF YOUR LEGS AND STICK THEM ON YOUR HEAD!"
"What's the bother? I'm still shorter than you. Which is amazing…"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT PEOPLE MISTAKE HIM FOR A PLUSHIE?!"
A/N: Yes, I posted this on the story. This isn't new. However, I thought I should start with the first omake. The others will be newer. A virtual cookie to whoever gets the 'Nuggets' reference.
Please review!
Ciao, bella!
