Author's Note: Hey, there. It's been quite a long time since I've last written, I hope I haven't gone rusty in my writings. Ha ha, alright let's just get this story started since I don't have anything else to say other than I hope you'll enjoy reading this Fullmetal Alchemist Holiday Special.
Summary: The story takes place after the Manga/Brotherhood and this will be full of holiday cheer, games, jokes, mishaps, mysteries and a touch of fluffy romance from the Golden trio, the Mustang Team, Elysia and Gracia and our other lovable characters. I've written this as a story that is humorously heart warming especially made for the Holidays and I hope you'll enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA and it's characters. This is only Fan Fiction.
~~~ Prologue ~~~
And it Starts...
" It's really getting cold. " Havoc groaned, crossing his arms in vain effort to warm himself up as he and Breda casually walked down the cold, dark and snow filled streets.
" That's probably because it's Winter, Havoc. " Breda uttered smugly, he grinned wide as he saw Havoc scowl for awhile and then shrugged his shoulders in defeat as he took a cigarette from his pocket.
" Very funny, Breda. " Havoc said sarcastically, he lit the cigarette afterwards. " Ahh... this helped warming me up. " He added after he sighed in relief.
" Those things are bound to get you killed one day, Havoc. " Breda said teasingly, with a hidden feeling of concern from his friend.
" Two cigarettes a day, won't get me in harms way, the doctors say. " Havoc replied, he added his teasing smirk afterwards in attempt to irritate his friend.
" Yeah, right. " Breda uttered in annoyance, then he smirked and added, " But stop rhyming, it doesn't suit you. "
" Are you kidding? Chicks swoon over me if I rhyme. " Havoc said, proudly smiling.
" Chicks, eh? But they're too young, are you sure you don't want chickens? " Breda replied teasingly.
Havoc flinched, he certainly wasn't expecting that reply, then he smirked and said, " Tsk, you just haven't seen me go at it. "
" True, I haven't seen you do that. So did you order a side dish of fries and a cold drink to go with it? " Breda countered. Then he laughed out loud as he saw his friend made a face.
" Shut up, Breda. " Havoc said as he raised his fist, threatening to hit him while Breda quickly shielded his head with his hands, still laughing hard.
" Alright, Alright. I'll stop teasing you now so calm down. Geez... I was only teasing ya you know. " Breda said as he composed himself while Havoc sighed and shrugged his shoulders as he placed both of his hands on his brown jacket's pocket.
" Sorry bro, lost my cool there for a second. " Havoc said, but Breda couldn't resist and replied, " No problem bro, but it's ironic since you were just cold earlier. "
" One more word and you'll be seeing stars even though it's cloudy tonight. " Havoc said casually.
Breda laughed again and uttered, " That's the last one... for tonight that is. "
Havoc sighed once more, " Whatever. " He said, looking away from his friend as he rolled his eyes in annoyance. With that, he had a chance to stray away from Breda's teasing demeanor and contemplate his surroundings.
He admired the view immensely. The snow just started to fall the week before but it has already, nearly covered most of the houses and streets in Central. Then he glanced at the different, cheery decorations adorned on each house and trees that come in all different kinds of shapes and sizes, then he eyed the bright and colorful lights illuminating the whole city. It certainly brings out the Holiday cheer despite the cold, dark and cloudy night.
Thinking about the cold night, coincidentally, a freezing breeze pass by Havoc and Breda that made them shiver as it sends chills down to their spines to the tip of their hair and toes. " Definitely brings out the sign of Winter. " the two mused in agreement.
Then Havoc realized something, " By the way, Breda. " He started as they turned to an intersection to the left and proceeded onwards.
Breda then turned to look at him with a questioning look, " What is it, Havoc? "
" Just where are we going? I know I've been asking you this earlier and told me to wait, but really... where on earth are you planning on dragging me to? " Havoc complained. He was getting kinda stiff because of walking and his nose was getting rosy from walking through the frost. He secretly thought to himself that he should've wore a more warmer set of clothes.
Then he curiously eyed and raised a brow at Breda who seems unfazed by the frost. True, he'd seen him shiver sometimes and his face was a bit rosy too, but he hasn't really been complaining about the cold. " I guess being... cuddly... can be advantageous too... He's like a bear with a thick bundle of fur. " He mused.
As much as Havoc thought of the matter interesting enough to ignore being cold, Breda broke his trance, " We're nearing our destination, you'll find out where later. "
" Any hints? " Havoc asked teasingly as Breda smirked, " Someone's really impatient here. "
" Just wanted to know why I'm following you around despite the fact that my butt's freezing out here. " Havoc said casually.
" Oh, don't worry. We're going some place warm enough to tow your frozen behind. " Breda replied cheekily as Havoc laughed sarcastically in response.
" Some place warm you say? Seriously, where are we going? " Havoc asked cheerfully when the word warm registered on his mind.
Breda nodded, " Let's just say we're meeting a long time comrade. " As soon as he said that, they turned at another intersection, " And here we are. " He added as he led the way and stop at the porch of the building. He looked back and saw that Havoc was still at the far end, near the intersection eyeing the building from afar.
" Are you coming inside or do you want to stay there and view the bar from that distance to completely freeze yourself? " Breda teased as Havoc hurriedly made his way to the building. " Alright, Breda. I'm coming! "
As soon as he reached Breda, the door opened before them revealing a familiar face that greeted them ever so uniquely.
" You sure did take your time to get here. What were you two doing, going out on a date? " She greeted with a wide grin on her lips.
" Oh please don't remind me about dates. I still remember how we got fooled by the Colon-err... the Brigadier General. " Havoc said, frowning at the memory of it.
" Oh, he did got the lots of you good. I could still remember your faces when you found out the whole truth of operation: How to make a date. " She said as she laughed out loud making the two boys eye her in disdain.
" You also played along with their games, Rebecca. Why did you? " Breda asked as Rebecca grinned, " Because it seems fun, plus I was just helping out my best friend's man. Making the rest of the team suffer from the Brigadier General's games was just an added bonus. " She added as the two sighed.
" Yeah, lucky you. Though the Lieutenant Colonel will surely shoot you if you say, helping out my best friend's man in front of her. " Havoc teased as Rebecca smirked, " But ain't it the truth? Between the three of us, those two surely are taking so long to confessed their feelings in my opinion. " She replied mockingly.
" Well, we couldn't do anything about it even if we wanted to. We risked being killed. " Havoc said. He flinched as his two companions grinned wickedly at one another. He cringe as they look at him, an evil aura clearly radiating from his companions.
" They've got something in mind and it's definitely trouble " Havoc thought to himself as he gulped. " Am I missing in on something? What's with those faces? " He added sheepishly.
" We could do something about it actually, there's still a slight risk of being killed if they found out that we set it up, but the likelihood of that is slim since the original masterminds of this really thought it out. They wouldn't suspect a thing. " Rebecca said excitedly.
" And it would be a great chance to get pay back from what the Brigadier General did to us. " Breda said with the same passion.
" How so? " Havoc asked innocently, obviously getting interested with the whole schemes being planned.
" By catching them in the act. Surely with our plans, they're bound to give in. " Rebecca said, bursting with determination as she clenched her fist excitedly.
" And if they don't? " Havoc asked innocently once more, making Rebecca's nose twitch in irritation.
" Why do you have to be such a pessimist, Jean? " She said as she crossed her hands, looking away while she pouts, " If they don't give in after that, Geez... I admire their tenacity if they managed to survive our ministrations, without admitting their feelings. What else am I to do, fall in love for them? " She added sarcastically, waving her hands up in the air in exaggeration.
" Don't you want some revenge, Havoc? By making the Brigadier General's have a taste of his own medicine. " Breda said as he flexed his fingers together, then compressed them to a fist.
" Well, it's not like I don't want to. But the Lieutenant Colonel will also get involved in this as well. Another thing is that I know little about this plan of yours. " Havoc said concerned. He gulped as his eyes caught the glares from his two colleagues.
" Since you don't mind just tag along, Jean and She's just as involved as the Brigadier General is and for your last dilemma, you two come inside now and I'll prepare you two a nice warm drink and meal before we tell you about our whole plan.
" Good idea, I was freezing my butt here. " Breda said as Havoc smirked, " Hey, don't you steal my line. " He added as the two walked inside the building and moved straight to the nearest table and sat down while Rebecca closed the door and proceeded to make them a cup of coffee.
" Ahh... Finally left the frost. Still a bit cold though. " Havoc said as he rubbed his hands together for awhile, in attempt of warming himself up.
" Want me to hold your hand to warm you up so that you'll stop whining, Jean? " Rebecca teased as she placed the coffee mugs on the table and then sat beside Havoc.
" Whew... you and Breda here had been insulting me since the day began. This means that on the days onwards, exciting things are bound to come my way. " Havoc said lazily as he rest his head on the palm of his hand that was resting on the table.
" Oh you have no idea. " Breda said with a wide grin, then he sipped his cup of coffee. " Delicious blend. " He added as Havoc did the same. Then he placed his cup down and crossed his arms.
" Exactly, I have no idea what's going on or what's about to happen. So if you two would be nice enough to share, will you now tell me about this plan of yours? " Havoc asked and Breda was about to reply to him when Rebecca beat him to it.
" Shut it, Heymans and let me be the one explain. " She started, then she coughed to clear her voice while Havoc leaned in close to listen to her intently.
" It'll all start out as a fun holiday event that will be held on a rest house somewhere in the east and before I explain further, Remember to pack your bags cause we're going on a short vacation! "

And it Starts...
Author's Note: So... was it alright? I know not much is still happening since this is only the prologue, but please review and tell me what you think. I haven't written in awhile so Feedbacks would be nice. Thanks in advance and before I forget, this is yet another sequel to my first FMA fan fiction titled, How to make a date. LOL, I know I haven't really finished that fan fic but I couldn't resist writing this as a possible sequel.
However, that story will hardly influence this story so consider this as a whole new story. Although I am planning on finishing How to make a date as soon as I can, preferably after this but I might update it earlier so keep an eye out!
Also, Thank you for reading, hope to see you again on the first chapter! :D
