A Full Metal Halloween
Edward stared at the flyer in his hand curiously. The flyer read:

"Ha! So they've decided to throw a Halloween Party, huh?" Edward asked no one in particular. Then he turned to his brother and asked, "You wanna go Al?"
"Sure!" Alphonse said. "But what is a giant suit of armor like me supposed to dress up as?"
"What do you think Al, you're going to be a 'Haunted Suit of Armor'," Edward answered.
Alphonse said, "I guess that's all that I can be this Halloween, what are you going to be?"
Edward replied, "A Homunculus."
At midnight…
"Yo, Edward, nice costume, come on over here with Elysia, Gracia, and me," Major Hughes said, literally as soon as Edward and Alphonse walked into the party.
"Hey Major… Um, what are you supposed to be?" Asked Edward.
"Why I'm a giant pink bunny, just what my little Elysia wanted me to be." Hughes answered with his usual goofy smile. "So, Alphonse, where's your costume?" Asked Maes.
"Can't you tell, Major, I'm a haunted suit of armor," Alphonse replied.
"But you really are a suit of armor, and your soul is kinda stuck in there," Hughes pointed out with a knock on Al's 'costume'.
"I didn't ask for this body you know!" Alphonse cried.
The music changed to a scarier tone and the room was now lit with dimmer lights in dull hues of purple, blue, and orange. In the center of the room, Winry Rockbell stood, dressed in an elaborate princess costume that made Edward stare at her a little longer than he should have.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" She said loudly. Once everyone in the room was looking her way, she said, "It's time for the Costume Judging to begin, if you would like to have the chance to win the prize for best costume, would you kindly form a line in front of me?"
A great many of the people in the room migrated to the center of the Main Hall in Central Headquarters. Some people were dressed as zombies and some as mummies, typical Halloween costumes.
Envy was in front of Edward, not dressed in any costume, and in front of Envy was Wrath, dressed as Edward.
"This is a great costume, and it works well seeing as how your right arm and left leg are auto-mail," Winry said. Envy was now in front of Winry. "And just what is your costume?"
"Anything you want it to be," Envy replied. He changed into a dragon, "A dragon or—"he changed into Edward, "A taller version of that pipsqueak behind me or—"
Edward tackled Envy and yelled, "WHO'RE YOU CALLING A SPECK OF DUST SO SMALL HE CAN'T BE SEEN UNDER A MICROSCOPE?"
"As amusing as that was, those weren't technically costumes, next!" Winry said.
Edward got off of Envy, brushed himself off, and stood in front of Winry. "Hiya Winry, I'm a homunculus." Edward was wearing a tube top and shorts just like Envy, he had temporary tattoos all over his body, and his 'Ouraborus Tattoo' was located on his neck.
Winry gasped at the detail and said, "Folks, we've found ourselves a winner, give a round of applause to the Full Metal Alchemist, Edward Elric."
"So what's the prize?" Asked Edward after the clapping died down.
Mustang, who was dressed as a hobo, handed a pumpkin to Winry and whispered something to her before walking away. "This, Edward, is your prize; Colonel Mustang told me that he made it all special for you."
Edward grabbed the pumpkin and frowned when he saw what was inside of it. "Colonel, you sure do have a sick sense of humor," Edward muttered to himself. The pumpkin had contained Watermelon and Cherry Ring Pops. "He'll pay for this, later."
