"How did you ever talk me into this?" Ed complained as he rounded the privacy screen in his and Al's hotel room while staring at the floor in embarrassment.
"Well, I must say he looks good…" Colonel Mustang said to Winry.
"What the hell is he doing here!" Ed yelled, instantly hiding behind the screen again.
"And he acts with a certain girlish modesty." Roy said with an evil laugh. "As to what I'm doing here…well, considering recent developments, I thought that I should come check on you. We wouldn't want you life to be cut tragically…SHORT!" He finished with a smirk and barely dodged Ed's enraged attack in time.
"What! Are you saying I'm a midget, small enough to be stepped on by an ant!" Ed screamed, but his tirade stopped abruptly when he saw that Winry, Al, and Roy were rolling on the floor in convulsions of laughter.
Suddenly, the hotel room door opened…and in walked Fuhrer King Bradley! Ed and Roy snapped to attention, but blinked in surprise as the Fuhrer took one look at Ed, burst into laugh, and promptly turned and left. Then Roy and the others looked at Ed again and started laughing…again.
"Argh! Stop laughing!" Ed yelled at them, red with embarrassment.
"Well, you do look….ummm, well, it is funny Ed!" Winry said, "And besides you did lose that bet!"
"But I didn't think you'd actually hold me to it!" Ed whined while turning to grimace at himself in the mirror. His hair had been braided into cute little pigtails with cute little pink ribbons. He also had a cute little pink dress on (with inserts of course!) and Winry had even managed to hold him down long enough to apply makeup. All in all, he looked like he had been born a girl. Why did I bet over something as stupid as whether it was going to rain the next day or not! Damn Winry! Well…maybe not damn so much as….dang she is cute! No! She is the enemy here! The Devil! Making me hit on military officers for a week! Ed thought, sourly.
"Haha! Of course you didn't silly! Now go get 'em! You'll have all the officers asking for a date after only a day or so!" Winry exclaimed, "Now just pitch your voice a bit higher..There, that's right. Now Roy why don't you take Ed to his soon to be admirers!"
And so, they left the hotel and headed over to the Central HQ.
