Chap. 1 – New Reasearch

"Lieutenant colonel Hughes! Um…sir! Wake up!"

"W…who?"

He oppened his eyes. It was Shieska.

"Oh! Um…hey there! Need more paper? No prob! Just wait a moment!"

"Sir, this isn't why I came and woke you up. The Fuhrer wants to talk with you."

"Really? I better get going!"

The man got up and quickly got out of his office..

"Nice and easy-going…as usual."Shieska giggled.

"Great. I flaked out again. If you don't pull your socks up, Maes, you're going to be kicked outta here in no time."

He knocked at an office's door.

"Come in." somebody said.

He oppened the door and saluted the man who allowed him to get in. The man came near Maes.

"Well done, lt colonel Hughes!"he said, patting him on his back."I'm really impressed by your last report about Scar!"

"Thank you, sir." Maes nodded.

"Now, I would appreciate it if you could help the Elric brothers with the research for the philosopher's stone. Their father is a great alchemist, and it would be a pity if we wouldn't help his sons' dreams to come true."

"Yes, sir. It would be a pleasure to help them!"

"I am sure it will be, Hughes, judging by the fact that you three get along well."

"Understood. I'm on it! Excuse me."

He saluted the Fuhrer and left the room.

"Okay, Maes. You know full well that you'll be breaking the rules, but with the Fuhrer's permission, this mission will be easy for you. Research is your specialitty!" Maes smiled.

When Hughes walked in his office, Shieska popped out of the room's closet, carrying a lot of written paperwork.

"Oh my, lt. Colonel, is everything alright?"

Then there was those few seconds of silence.

"Shieska, go and take a nap. 1. It's late. 2. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow,so we need a lot of energy!"

"Ok, sir!"

Thrilled, Shieska took her coat and her books and was about to leave, when Hughes said something with his "serious voice".

"Shieska!"

"Y-yes, sir?"

"There's something I want to ask you."

"Yes?"

Maes got near Shieska. The girl was blushing.

"Say, Shieska…"

"Y-yes?"

Maes took something out of his pocket.

"Isn't my Elysia addorable in this picture? Look! She's wearing my glasses! Oh, gosh, she's so cute when she wants to be like her daddy!"

"Yes, sir." Shieska said, rolling her eyes.
