Incase if there might be any confusion, Alphonse is still his his armor body. Enjoy ^.^
It's a normal sunny day in Central City and Mustang is as usual in his desk as Riza Hawkeye and the others are at their work station signing and reading documents of the army. Colonel Mustang is shuffling through a batch of papers, he's just tossing them from one side of the table to another till one of the files he's supposed to read catches his attention. With the curiosity he is thinking of opening it till he thinks to himself "Wait… Reading this is supposed to be my job."
He then causally opens the documents and takes a look Inside.
"Well well, It seems it time Full metal." He said with a cheerful expression.
He then directs his attention to Hawkeye "Lieutenant, I need you to contact someone for me".
Back at the Rockbell house it seems to be dinner time, sitting at the square table in each seat is Edward, Alphonse, Pinako and Winry. Everyone seems to finish their plate of Rice with a green bean side dish and a T bone. Edward is sitting in his chair just glaring daggers as his drink. Its Milk, his one weakness.
Winry stands up and grabs her dish "Just drink it, you will probably grow a centimeter taller."
" I will not! This is the devils drink… AND IM NOT SMALL" Still looking at his bottle milk like a staring contest.
She starts walking to the kitchen in an irritated manner and just mutters these words out " I wonder how you became a State Alchemist… Such a baby…"
Still looking at the bottle he responds " What are you talking about!? Everybody have things they don't like or reject, I just happen to dislike milk" After a few seconds he continues "It's the same thing as how you dislike to be lady like."
These words pierce right through Winry's ears like a spear. Her body stiffens up and her face turns to the face of a demon. The phone started to ring at the room next door so Al and Pinako used this as an excuse to exit the room to evade being caught in the crossfire that soon to begin.
"Oh Eeeeed" A gentle voice rings out through the room.
When a crippling realization comes to Edwards mind " A gentle voice? This means… Oh no, I think I went too far."
When Ed looks up towards Winry the first thing to catch his attention is the plate she had in her hand flying at full speed towards his face. There's no time to process his thoughts. CLASH a loud noise rang out, the disk broke on collision with Edwards face making him tip over his chair and fall to the floor. He doesn't know where he is at the moment, all he sees are birds chirping and flying around his head. The Auto mail enthusiast jumps on top of him and starts chocking him. As they fight for a few moments finally Pinako Rockbell comes into the room bearing the phone in her arms. The first thing she sees when entering the room is Winry having trapped Ed in a wrestling Figure for leg lock as Ed screams from the pain. She ignore the sight and with a stern face she continues.
"Ed, its for you."
This caught both Ed's and Winry's attention. Winry let Edward go and helped him get up from the ground. The Full metal alchemist then grabs the phone to see who's calling him.
"Hello?"
" It's a pleasure to hear you State Alchemist Edward Elric."
This voice was very familiar as Ed knew who it was.
" Lieutenant Hawkeye! not to be rude but its strange to receive a phone call from you. You usually come here in person."
She just casually laughs " Yes but this is an urgent news that you must hear."
Ed voice gets serious " What's the matter?"
"Seems your State Alchemist certification is about to expire and you are being recalled back to HQ to reevaluate your skills and abilities that you would give to the State Alchemist."
"Oh I see."
"Well, this happens to every state alchemist. Most of them get a pass because they are working directly under the military but for those that are of somewhere doing alchemic research then they must present an yearly demonstration of any research they have been conducting and if not then demonstrate that their abilities as a soldier haven't decreased."
Edwards thinks to himself (Shit, I have been running around the place without the militaries permission and I haven't been doing any kind of alchemic research, this is bad).
He then resumes his talk with the Lieutenant " So what should I do?"
"As you know you haven't followed direct military order as a state alchemist so you fall under the category of alchemic research so you must present Information on what you have been doing."
"But you know that I haven't been doing any alchemic research"
"I know, that's why you must present that your skills haven't degraded as a state alchemist by returning to HQ to fight a 1 on 1 battle vs. another state alchemist. This can only be done once so next year you will not have this option."
" I see, when do I have to return for this examination?"
Suddenly Hawkeye's voice gets a little high pitch and lower in volume " Weeeell, you see this kinds of things are informed to a state alchemist at least a month before examination so the person has time to prepare."
" Oh so next month I have to go there?" he said with a reaffirming voice.
"No"
"Eh!?"
" The man that was supposed to inform you was Colonel Mustang but he usually slacks of work and has a mountain bigger than his apartment of unread documents and paper work so he came across this news only like half an hour ago and he told me to inform you."
"WHAAAAAAAT!? IM GOING TO KILL HIM!" Edwards scream was heard throughout the house as he grasp the phone so hard it was possible it could break at anytime.
Riza had to take the phone off her ear so her eardrum wouldn't burst. She then resumes her talk.
"I'm sorry but you have to be here tomorrow for evaluation."
Suddenly she hears a thud through the phone, Edwards collapse to the floor. Pinako takes a deep breath and grabs the phone.
"I'm sorry but he fainted, would you like me to tell him something?"
"Haha, doesn't surprise me. He knows what he must do just tell him to get a good night's rest".
Both persons hang up their phone from their respective lines and Pinako stares ad Ed's fainted body as she relives a sigh.
After Edward regain consciousness he decided to gather everyone in the living room. Everyone was all crunched up in the couch as Alphonse took most of the space due to his metallic body.
"OK! We have a huge problem on our hands" Ed says while standing infront of everyone.
"We?" Pinako she said trying to breath correctly.
"Yes, because I'll probably lose my state alchemist certification and you will all feel sorry for me."
All of Winry's thoughts where the same thing flying around in her mind (he's so self centered…).
"Anyways I will have to be leaving as soon as possible to reach central in time for the evaluation."
Pinako scratches her head with her one free arm "Now? You do know the trains already stopped running right?"
Ed takes a few seconds to process these terrible news.
"WHAT!? But its only…" he takes a moment to look at the clock that's on the wall next to him "Its only… 10:30 pm…" He lowers his head in disgrace.
(How long was I fainted?)
"You would have to wake up early to catch the first train to central if you want to make it by noon." Winry said as she's trying to get a sitting spot despite being squeezed by Al's body.
"Then I guess I have no choice, thanks for your help" Ed then leaves the room.
Al decides to go with him. When Alphones get up from the couch suddenly Pinako and Winry that where sitting beside him in opposite directions they both come crashing towards the middle.
Pinako gasping for air "We need a bigger couch"
Winry nods in agreement.
After the meeting Ed decides to go to sleep early to catch the first train. As they say the early bird catches the worm. After some time he's in his room trying to sleep but encounters a huge problem that won't allow him to sleep. He has to pee. Edward gets up from his bed wearing only a boxer and goes out to the hallway. He scratches his head as he walks and turns to the first door to his right. When he opens the door the lights are already on but he's to sleepy to notice and just walks to the toilet and lets out his precious jewel that every man holds dear to their hearts. When the stream of pee finally comes out he lets out a sigh of relief. At this very moment a loud scream would echo through the entire house. AHHH! Edward though his ear drums would explode as he looks to his side and sees a naked Winry taking a bubble bath next to him. Ed looks down and widens his eyes to only see her face as she desperately tries to cover most her breast that where trying to float on top of the water.
Ed at this moment is consume with various thoughts that came rushing towards his mind. He can only stay there staring as the girl in front of him yells "GET OUT YOU PERVE!"
Ed didn't even try to pull his boxers back up as he's just stares with a red face towards his side. He tries to keep his composure as he turns around to walk away but instead crashes with the wall next to the door as Winry throws everything she could grab. Ed's face gets struck by various objects as he raises his boxers and falls to the ground and finally make his way out of the bathroom. Being kicked out of the bathroom he decides to make a dash for his room. Nobody in the house really cared for the noise as it always found its way into the Rockbell home every since The Elric brothers decided to stay with them for a little while. Pinako in these time learned to sleep with ear plugs and Al was always to concentrated reading his books.
Winry in complete shock after the incident her mind start to bring up various thoughts.
(That creep! He's such a pervert! I'll teach him a lesson! Has he ever learned how to knock!?)
But one of them stand out the most.
(D- Did he like what he saw?)
She quickly shook her head and lowered herself into the bubbles as she continued her bath.
The day finally arrived but there was only one tiny problem. Edward with all his charisma and ego slept through his alarm that was set for 6am. Al shares the same room as Ed but as he can't sleep due to his body so he usually spends his nights in the first floor studying alchemy, reading books or outside looking at the sky and sometimes training. Ed wakes up 40 minutes later as he lets out a big yawn. The state alchemist looks at the clock and suddenly all hell breaks loss. In less than 10 minutes he got dressed and ready to leave. With so little time he even forgot to take his bags with him. Al was downstairs preparing breakfast for when everyone woke up, he heard someone coming down quickly.
"I just finishing breakfast, y-"
He was completely cut off as a speeding Edward rushed by pass him in a speed so incredible that Al's eggs almost went flying away. Without hesitations he sprints to the train station at a mind baffling speed. When he finally reaches the train station at 6:55 am he rushes towards the ticket seller.
Ed stops with a cloud of smoke behind him "I need a ticket Asap!"
When he looks through the other side of the booth he doesn't see anybody. He gets anxious and starts screaming if anybody's there. Suddenly he hears a voice that came from behind him.
"What are you doing?"
When he turns around he sees a young male around his 20's with brown hair.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the guy that sells the tickets for the train…"
Ed eyes widen as they fill with anger "THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT IN THE BOOOTH!"
The young man scratches his head "We open at 7:30 am on Sundays."
Edwards reality breaks in that instance as he falls into an abyss in his mind.
"Sir, why are you crouched in the edge of the floor like that?" the young man asked.
(All the hurrying for nothing… I missed breakfast…) The alchemist thought to himself.
As Ed gets up the brown haired man continues.
"Either way the trains won't be running today."
"?"
"Late last night a group of bandits or something came out and broke the railroads as a train was passing. It was terrible. There already sent some alchemist to fix the tracks s the trains stations would be back up and ready for business tomorrow."
Edward grits his teeth " I see, then you're here to relay that message to anyone intended to ride the trains today right?"
"Exactly."
Suddenly the problem at hand returns crashing into his brain as he yells out loud.
"Crap… I NEED TO GET TO CENTRAL!"
