Summary: Edward hated moving, he really did. Especially now that his dad bought a pink house, and the most popular guy at his school and the outcast has teamed up to make him popular. (this is based on the ultra cool drama, Nobuta Wo Produce)

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FMA OR ANYTHING IN IT. IF I DID, THERE WOULD BE A TON OF HAWT YAOI ACTION IN EVERY EPISODE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

According to my philosophy, everything in the world is a game. That included life. Everyday is a repeat of pointless stuff. People in this world that are considered "dangerous" are nothing more than children, and yet in this world full of "children", the one who becomes serious loses the game.

Mission Impossible 4: Edward Elric

Chapter 1: Moving

The heat was unbearable.

It was scorching hot inside the car even with the air conditioner on full blast. But Edward Elric didn't complain, he was never the type to. The blonde was merely content looking out the window at the repetitive landscape that was pretty much…nothing. His father was chatting happily with his brother - Alphonse - about god knows what, every now and then asking for his opinion on something and he would simply nod—everything was in routine.

Unfortunately, the radio was broken and there was no music, the only exception being Ed's I-pod, but his dad and Al wouldn't want to listen to the "crap" he had on that thing anyway.

"So, Ed," his dad asked good-naturedly, "you excited about moving?"

Edward snorted not taking his eyes off the oh so interesting landscape passing outside the window, "Oh yes father," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "I'm excited as a dog who just got run over, now I don't have to worry about getting neutered!"

Al shot a disapproving frown at Ed and Hoenheim's smile drooped a bit, but he didn't say anything and just kept his concentration on the road.

"You've been driving for a pretty long time now, Dad, you want to stop somewhere for a bit to stretch our legs?" Al commented, trying to change the subject as fast as he could.

Hohenheim's frown slowly lifted into a full fledged smile, "That's a great idea Alphonse. Why don't we stop to get a drink and eat since it'll be a while till we reach the place?"



"That's sounds great dad." Alphonse nodded in agreement while Ed shrugged, not wanting to admit that his legs were stiff and he was seriously thirsty.

After a few minutes, Light found a Starbucks and pulled into the parking lot. Al practically jumped out of the car happily stretching his cramped legs while Ed took his time getting out, still attempting to uphold his façade of indifference.

After ordering their respective drinks, Al declared that he had to use the restroom, "Ed, can you come to the restroom with me?"

Edward raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you old enough to go to the restroom yourself, Al?"

Al blushed, "Please nii-san, just come."

"No, you can go by yourself Al."

"Please, nii-san."

"No, that's gross!"

"Please?

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"NO."

"PLEASE?"

"I SAID NO, AL"

That's when he decided to bust out the puppy dog eyes.

"No, Al, stop it." Ed turned his head away, damn it, he hated when his brother did this to him, not matter how much he tried to ignore him he couldn't resist those eyes. He sighed, "Ok, Ok, I'll go."

Hohenheim chuckled; those boys never grew up did they? Al did a silent victory dance in his head and dragged his older brother to the restroom.

"Okay, Al, go do your thing." Edward sighed; he really didn't need this right now.

"Nii-san, you know that isn't why I called you in here." Al frowned at him. "Can't you at least try to be nice to dad? You know how hard it is for him. He doesn't need you acting so stubborn 

and making a big fuss over something small like moving. It's hard on all of us—not to mention, it's probably the worse for dad. Won't you try to bear it, even if for just a bit?"

"I know, I know," Ed muttered. "But I really don't like any of this. We'll have to go to a new school…and then new people…"

"Don't complain, Nii-san. I know you had…problems with the students at our old school, but you're getting a fresh start now right? You have got to take advantage of this oppurtunity," Al said, attempting to cheer his older brother up a bit.

Ed sighed," Yeah, I guess you're right….I suppose I should apologize to dad huh? Geez, I hate apologizing."

"Just get out there, nii-san."

The shorter Elric groaned," Yeah, yeah."

He had a right to be upset, but not at his father. He knew that, yet he couldn't help himself. He ran a hand through his blond hair, sighing, as he headed back to where his father was sitting quietly, clutching his cup of coffee as he stared out the window at the passing cars.

"Dad," the middle aged man looked up, "I'm sorry."

"It's so…PINK." Al cocked his head sideways hoping that if he looked at the monstrosity before him at a different angle it would seem less PINK.

PINK was probably the best way to describe the "house", everything was PINK--hot pink, light pink, for god's sake even the flowers were PINK

Ed could have sworn he was going to go blind from all the PINK.

Light laughed nervously, "I guess that was why the house was so cheap," he said, rubbing his head sheepishly. "Well, we'll just have to paint it! Other than that everything else seems fine."

He was wrong; the inside of the house was PINK too.

"Dad?" Ed asked him.

Hohenheim turned to him, smiling, "Yes, son?"

"Why didn't you first check pictures of the house before you bought it?"

Light looked thoughtful for a moment, "Well, I hadn't really thought about it. The house was pretty cheap and it was near your school and my office, so I thought heck why not?" he replied. 

Ed and Al groaned in unison, their father was considered a scientific genius and yet….he was stupid enough to buy a house without checking out the specific details.

Ed hated moving, and now Al knew why.
