Ice Smiles
Major general Olivier M. Armstrong, the hardened "Northern Wall of Briggs", one of the military's top generals and proud daughter of the Armstrong family, has been involved in an unexpected accident. While recovering in the hospital, her mind is now reverted back into an 8-year old. Can Ed and Al help her get back to her normal, cold self? Wackiness and other stuff ensues. Read more. Brotherhood/manga randomness. I had this kind of idea while I heard of the anime, Nanaka 6/17, and I would wonder what would Olivier be like if she was in a situation like Kirisato Nanaka's-loss of memories replaced with a child-like behavior.

Chapter 1: Delicate Ice Flower
Central HQ: Colonel Mustang's office
The whole capital of Amestris, Central, was getting busy late afternoon. was quite the ruckus it was making when the Northern Wall of Briggs, major general Olivier Armstrong was angry as the cold blizzard that knows no end. Anger that was directly towards colonel Roy Mustang, in which he gave her official documents of having her assigned as a secretary alongside lieutenant Hawkeye. Everyone was gone for the day besides the feuding two officers.
"You want me to what?" Roared the icy major general.
"Don't worry, it's nothing much. Just only 10 days with me as secretary, even the fuhrer agrees with this." The flame alchemist said in optimism.
Olivier then let out a frown in a different direction. "I'd rather have both my arms chopped off then help a degenerate like you." She sneered in disgust.
Roy clamped both his hands and smiled. "Oh, playing hard to get I take it, Olivier?" I would like to feel more of your embrace with those arms of yours. He said slowly with joy.
"Shut up! This isn't over Mustang!" Olivier flared, as she gritted her teeth. Olivier then turned around and picked up her black frock coat and saber as she makes her way towards the door.
"My, my major general. Are we tense today!" Roy said in satisfaction as he looked on the contents of his drink while examining the ice in his cup.
Central HQ, Hallways
With the day waining in the late afternoon at Central HQ, the Elric brothers always know how to plan mischief being in the military. No doubt about it. Unfortunately bad things were bound to happen with them, as Ed-the fullmetal alchemist along with armored brother Alphonse, were fabricating something within Central HQ's vicinity.
Ed was making something alright. A sort of metal slingshot of some sort, with a hard rubber ball that resembled the pipsqueak's "mocking" face when being called short. He then hid the prank within the walls that was near by the office where his most hated frenemy, colonel Roy Mustang works.
"Brother I don't know if that's a good idea. Someone could get hurt besides the colonel you know that?" Al protested as he stood by watching his brother prep up the prank.
The short alchemist then clapped both of his hands and placed them on the wall, emanating light all around the wall's area to seal it. "Heh, don't worry, Al. The colonel won't know what hit him! And besides nobody goes out of the office around late afternoon but that loser." Ed said optimistically with a grin on his face.
"And it's about early evening already. We'll start the whole show the moment colonel jerk face heads out." Ed said as he hurried himself of all his belongings to prep up.
Suddenly, the doors burst out at Colonel Mustang's office, revealing a blonde female heading out.
"Ok, Al that's the cue. Let's hide now!" Ed warned. He then ran off to the other corner of the wall. He then chuckled a bit as he hid.
Alphonse then shook his head in disagreement, afraid of what trouble it will lead to. "Brother, why can't you just grow up at all…?" He muttered.
The pipsqueak then clapped his hands and placed them on the ground with a grinned joy on his face.
As Olivier headed out to the hallways, she noticed something very bright from one of the areas of the walls, as a weird-like face that resembled Edward's sprang out of the wall and headed straight for her face. Her expression went to wide-eyed shockness, signaling her off-timing avoidness
"What is that deformity? MIDGET! Is that any of your-" Olivier protested but was too late to react to the rapid punch of Ed's prank. The major general had now gotten a taste of 200 pounds of hard rubber impact, strong enough to send anyone down south with a least amount of brain damage. The sudden impact of the rubber ball hit directly towards her left temple on the side of her head.
Inside Roy's office, Roy woke up to the sudden surprise of the impact outside. "What was that commotion?" Roy's eyes narrowed towards the door. "Could it be fullmetal again?" He twitched his forehead in anger.
She then flew back very hard as if the winds were hitting against her and crashed to one of the hard concrete walls by the other offices, in which resulted a huge thud to the icy blonde. Major general Olivier Armstrong, The "Northern Wall of Briggs" was now lying down in an unconscious state, with her eyes closed and her hair bangs in shambles on the floor. Even her frock coat got leveled off of her shoulders which laid beside her.
Ed hurried out of the corner as Al tagged along, and went to see his result. "YESS! I got him! I got hi-oh no…" Ed face went from victorious excitement to sudden ashamed defeat as the smoke cleared off to reveal an unconscious major general Armstrong, who laid down on the floor like a helpless woman who looked like she was violated thoroughly as well as her clothes was tattered.
"Fullmetal what is the meaning of this no-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED RUNT? Roy roared as he saw of the incident that appeared in front of him. "Shit, major general Armstrong is knocked out?"
Ed was now in a shocked state when the scene unfolding him was very present. He tugged a piece of collar out of his neck in pure shame. "Colonel, I didn't know she was around there. I only thought you were the one coming out." Ed chuckled softly
A vein then popped out of Roy's head. "Are you telling me I was the one to get hit, Fullmetal?" Roy eyed on the midget. Ed's eyes then narrowed and slip out a mockery tongue on Roy.
"Oh my goodness, major general Armstrong! Ma'am, are you okay? Speak to me!" Al said as he leaned near the unconscious ice queen to try getting her up to her feet, but to no avail yet.
Al and Roy then carried her slumped form and placed her on a nearby sofa as Ed then stepped in to try getting Olivier awake. "Major general, please get up. I'm sorry this happened! I never meant to hurt you at all! It was an accident!" Ed said desperately as he tries waking up the cold-hearted woman to her senses, in knowing full well he wouldn't hit a woman.
Roy then placed his hand over Olivier's head. "She's still around and warm, Ed. Just only a big bump, that's all. We're gonna have to get her to an infirmary quickly. I'll get the doctors in, and you and Al stay put with her." Roy said with resolved as he ran across the halls to get Olivier medical attention.
Both Ed and Al waited up on Roy, the two raced frantically to wake up Olivier from the accident somehow. But still no avail, as she was in a deep sleep of a dream.
A dream in which her past childhood was lost, only to be replaced with conviction, malice and cold distance towards others.
Moments later, a group of doctors along with the colonel and a stretcher came to pick up Olivier as Ed placed her carefully on the stretcher. Ed, Al and Roy watched the medical team head the ice queen off to one of the nearby rooms where she'll be treated and rested on a bed for a while.
A/N: So that's about it for chapter 1, I'll get to more later on as I know that Olivier is going to the military hospital as I think of more ideas on how to set her mind in child mode. Oh well, read and review anyone! I appreciate it!:)
