Shrimpy and his shorts
This story is to explain why Ed's boxers are plain. This takes place when Ed was 7 years old.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or fancy boxer shorts.
It was a sunny day in Risenboo(A/N: Can anyone tell me the proper spelling?), and Ed, Al and Winry were playing in Winry's backyard.
"I bet I can run along this entire stone wall without falling down!"Ed proudly declared, trying to show off again.
"Oh really? Well, I bet I can run it twice without falling down!"Al was trying to out show his brother, because he was tired of being beat at everything by his older brother. Well, except height-wise, but he didn't want to mention that, for fear of being badly hurt.
"Oh, you're on! Let's see who can run along the wall the longest without falling down!" Ed was sure of himself, and although Al was 1/7 of an inch taller than him, he was sure he could win. Because in this contest, height didn't matter, skill did.
"Hey! I want to play too!" Winry complained, tired of being left out of every adventure the boys had.
"You? This is a boys game!" Ed taunted.
"Brother! Don't be mean to Winry. If she wants to she can play."
"Fine, but if she's gonna run, I'll go first!"Ed declared. He climbed up onto the wall and positioned himself.
"Okay! Go!" Winry shouted.
Ed raced off along the wall, surprisingly not losing his balance.
"Ed!Ed! Look out!" Winry was calling him from behind.
"Huh? WHAT? I can't hear you!" Ed turned around to face them.
"Watch out for that pole!"
"What pole?"
Ed turned to face the front, still running and saw the pole. It's very hard not to see something when it's right up against your face, afterall.
BANG!
"W-who-whoa..."Ed fell to the ground unconcious...
In Edward's dream...
"W-where am I?" Edward had appeared to be in some sort of strange land with a lot of trees everywhere. The trees had appeared to have some objects hanging from their branches. Curious, Edward went closer to the trees to investigate.
"Wow! There are UNDERWEAR hanging from these trees." Ed proclaimed. And he was right. There was underwear hanging from these peculiar trees. And all of them were boxers. But, not any ordinary boxers. These ones were special. Every single disign you could think of were on these oh-so-fancy boxers. But none of them were plain white.
Ed decided to climb these trees and try to get one oh-so-fancy boxer down. Afterall, he was the best climber of all of Risembool.
He managed to get to the top and grabbed a hold of a boxer with dragons on it. He yanked, and...
"AHHHH!"
The dragons had come alive! They were gigantic! And they were upset!
"Who dares to wake us from our eternal slumber?"
"Umm...Not me?" Edwards pitiful attempt didn't work.
"Come awake my brothers and let us feast on this unwary soul!"
The thousands of designs on the boxers had come alive! All the demons and monsters, and the occasional smily face were alive! And really big too.
Poor Edward was standing, shivering in fear. In fact, he wet his pants.
The dragons mouth came closer, closer, closer!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
In the real world
Edward suddenly snapped awake, still screaming.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!"THE DRAGONS ARE AFTER ME! NOOOOO!THE BOXERS!"
A confused Winry and Al were on the ground, along with Trisha and Pinako.
"Are you okay Ed? It was only a dream. You hit a pole when you were running and went unconcious." Trisha stated, still worried over her dilusional son.
"A-a dream?"
"Yes. Of corse. You were unconcious for an hour."
"Whew...So I'm safe..." Ed thought he was okay, untill he realized he really had wet his pants.
From then on, Ed was deathly afriad of designed boxers, and only wore plain white ones.:)
