Tricks and Deceptions
Chapter 1
The day was quiet, as usual. Hawkeye as keeping an eye on Mustang and warning Jean Havoc not to smoke in the office. Havoc was ignoring her and doing whatever paperwork he had.
The other subordinates ( Fuery, Block, Falman, and Braeda) were doing whatever they did. Mustang was trying to get out of doing paperwork without ending up looking like swiss-cheese. Then everyone heard what sounded like a suit of armor coming down the hall and knew that it wouldn't be quiet for long.

Ed was not happy. That baka colonel had sent him on another wild goose chase! This time, he had been sent to stay in, and fix up, a town called El Gato. He had been transmuting a building back to it's original state when a cat just had to get in the way.
Now, Ed had cat ears, a tail, and huge neko eyes. Not only that, but he had no idea how to change them back to normal. The "change" had made him an inch taller, however, his automail no longer fit. Oh well, he would just had to call Winry and hope that she forgets to bring "The Wrench." Yeah right!

Ed came barging into Mustang's office, yelling, "Mustang, you sent me on another
useless mission!"
Mustang put on his famous smirk and said, "What do you mean? You were only there
for a week. Such a short time. How..."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU CAN'T SEE HIM AND WOULD DROWN IN A GLASS OF WATER?!"
Ed was panting, now and was bright red from lack of oxygen.
"No one said that, Nii-san," Alphonse mentioned quietly, trying to calm down his brother.
During his tirade, Ed's hood had fallen to reveal his new neko features. Everyone was looking at him with expressions that went way beyond shock. "He's so KAWAII!!" was heard across the room as a blue streak came flying towards Ed. It was Hawkeye. She was currently hugging Ed, who was bright red from embarrassment. If possible, the eyes of everyone got even bigger at this emotional outburst. Some had their mouths hanging open including the "Oh, so cool," Mustang.
Without warning, a teenage boy walked into the office. Ed quickly pulled his hood back up over his head. The boy had bright blue hair, glasses, and he looked like he had just come in from school.
"My name is Satoshi Hiwatari. I'm looking for Colonel Roy Mustang and Major Edward Elric."
"I'm Colonel Mustang ans the pipsqueak is Major Elric."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL HE COULD FIT THROUCH A PINHOLE?!"
After his outburst, Ed stood glaring at Mustang, who was ignoring him. Satoshi just looked amused.
"Yes, well, the reason I am here. I work for the police department, and we have been getting notes from the Phantom Thief Dark. Every note tells us where he is going to strike next. We go to the places and he steals the object from under our noses, then he flies off. Here is the last note we received."
Satoshi handed Mustang the note. He opened it and read.
The special armor is mine. It will be at Central Headquarters.
I make my move at midnight on Halloween.
Dark Mousey
Everyone looked at Alphonse when this was read. They all knew that all was going to the Halloween party at HQ, which was only two days away. Ed was shocked.
Satoshi stated, "We would like the help of the military to catch Phantom Thief Dark."
Ed shook his head, clearing his head. "There's no way in HELL that this guy is going to get Al!!" he said, "I will stop him!"
Mustang looked at Ed, then at Al. He then looked directly at Satoshi and said, "What do you want us to do?"
