On Vacation with the Elrics

Chapter 1-What's the Worse That Could Happen?

Edward and Alphonse Elric sat in Roy's office (Well, Alphonse had to kneel) waiting for Roy to appear. In the room with them were Riza Hawkeye and Alex Louis Armstrong.

"I wonder what the colonel wants now," Alphonse said.

"Probably for us to inspect some other crime," Ed said, leaning back in his chair, looking at the ceiling. "Honestly, I say to do his dirty work for him."

"Hmph," Hawkeye growled.

"FullMetal!" Roy Mustang yelled from the doorway.

Ed fell backwards, only to meet Roy's feet. Roy walked to his desk while Ed fixed his chair. Roy held a letter in his hand.

"I meant to say: to do his work for him because he's so busy with important work!" Ed said, trying to cover up for his insult.

"Anyways," Roy growled, "I got this letter in the mail by an unexpected person."

"Who?" Alphonse asked.

"Lust and Gluttony," Roy replied. "It said that they were on vacation on a whole different continent, so our 'unnecessary' search would have to be postponed until next year."

"I find it odd," Ed said. "What kind of baddy would tell us that they're on vacation? How stupid…"

With Lust

"Do you think it was odd that I left a letter for the colonel?" Lust asked.

"I thought it was stupid that you left a letter period was stupid." Gluttony said.

Back with the Elrics

"Oh," Roy said, "she also said to tell the 'shorty'."

Three thousand veins popped out of Ed's forehead. "WHO IS SHE CALLING SO SHORT THAT AN ANT CAN CRUSH ME?"

No one dared laughed.

"So what does that mean for us colonel?" Al asked.

"A bigger search for her." Roy said.

"Wait a second!" Ed said. "With Lust and Gluttony gone, this could only mean one thing!"

"Is it Ed?" Al asked.

"A chance to make the agency bigger?" Roy guessed.

"A chance to go around everywhere and show off more of my beautiful muscles?" Armstrong asked.

"A chance to make a new beauty salon for hippies?" Hawkeye asked, only to receive stares.

"Um, no…It means a vacation for ourselves!" Ed said.

"But what about…" Roy began but was interrupted.

"You guys worry too much!" Ed admitted. "You guys need a social life! When was the last time you guys slept without thinking about the bad guy that almost killed you? When was the last time you guys rollerbladed?"

"It sounds great!" Hawkeye said, actually agreeing with Edward.

"A beach could also give me a chance!" Armstrong said.

"Fine!" Roy growled. "We'll go on vacation. I'll leave Ross in charge."

The four got on a plane to Florida as the organization was being attacked by a mob of villains and they didn't know.

"Finally," said Ed. "A vacation where nothing can go wrong!"

A food cart bumped into Ed's automail arm.

"Sorry little guy," A caterer said.

"LITTLE?" Ed growled.

A minute later

"Have anyone seen Mr. Quinn?" Another caterer asked.

"Nope," Ed said, though he threw the guy into a rudder.
