"Hey Al, are you acquisitive?" Mia watched as the soup-making blond dropped his stirring spoon.
"E-excuse me?" He turned around, clearly shocked at the suddenness of the questioning girl in his house. Al tilted his head slightly, "Mia, when did you get here? And to answer your question no, I'm not concerned about my wealth. Why do you ask?" The brown-haired girl balanced a red-orange book on her head.
"Oh, no reason." Mia eyed the soup. "You do realize that's congealing, right?" Al shifted back to cooking.
"Quit carping, Mia, it's fine." The blond continued cooking, deep in thought. "Wait a minute, this isn't even your-" He turned around to find his neighbor missing. "... house. She went to bother brother." Smiling slightly, the lanky blond continued stirring the soup.
"Eeeeeeeeedwaaaaaaard." Mia leaned over the arm of the couch to put her face in front of the book the other blond boy was reading. Unlike Al, this boy had yellow eyes, instead of grey.
"Mia. What are you doing, arrogating my house?" Her green eyes stared into Ed's yellow ones. Ed narrowed his, taking in the all too-innocent gleam in Mia's eyes. "What?"
"I am simply commandeering the largesse of your sibling. He's making some sort of soup." Ed tugged his book out from behind her hair, and continued the attempt to read and ignore the idiot girl.
"Don't you have something better to do than temporize? You're avoiding your English homework again, aren't you?" Mia stood up, a delicate hand on her chest with the other holding that reddish book from earlier, "Edward! How could you think so little of me? You invidious boy, you! I'm simply trying to emulate a good honor student and use vocabulary words in my everyday life!"
Ed reached out and snagged the Vocabulary Workshop book, "Oh? Then whatever could you be doing with this? Definitely not cramming last-minute for that vocabulary test, right?" Mia's eyes grew to the size of basketballs.
"Edward Elric, you banal little knave. I'll have you know that I have been belaboring every day for this vocabulary quiz!" The brown haired girl crossed her arms, and started tapping her foot.
"Mia, do you even know what banal means? Or did you just use it in that sentence because you know it's an adjective?" Ed smirked at her, golden eyes taking on a mischievous glint. Mia shifted, green eyes roving the ceiling. She uncrossed her arms, "Trite, commonplace." She grinned at Ed, "I've got the whole first page down, actually." Ed rolled his eyes and closed his reading book.
"All right, then. If you ace the test tomorrow, I'll send you an encomium in the mail." Mia made a face, "But Ed! We're neighbors! You might as well just give it to me the day of!" Ed smiled, tossing the Vocabulary Workshop back at Mia.
"Fine, but you shouldn't be over here for such silly reasons. Al and I have lives, you know." The brown haired girl glanced at her open vocabulary book. "Fine then, I'll eschew from you two until I'm done studying." Ed smirked.
"Sure you will."
Al poked his head in from the kitchen. "Food's done! Mia, would you like to join us for dinner?" She smiled.
"Of course I would! Thank you!" Ed snickered from the couch, and put his book down. Mia's face instantly turned the color of a ripened tomato.
"I never said I would shun you right away! Jeez, I already said I was here to mooch, didn't I?" The green-eyed girl slunk into the kitchen.
"Brother? What was that about?" Al looked at Ed as the shorter blond stood up.
"Oh, we were just trying to come up with germane ways to bring vocabulary words into the conversation." Al looked rather confused, and Ed patted him on the back.
"Don't worry Al; just let me kick her out after dinner. She should have been studying all week, the procrastinator."
A/N: So, I had to do my English homework. :D taa-daah!
