Sorry it's been a while. Life happens. And procrastination. (Oh my gosh, I'm quoting my own profile. XD)
When previously given this prompt, I didn't want to do something gross, cuz I couldn't pull that off... Then I thought "Infestation of giggles? Sneezes? Yawns?" But then author12306 accidentally helped me out in a PM conversation. XD You'll figure out what that PM was by the end of this fic.
On with the story!
"I swear, everyone in Amestris is stupid!" Ed began to rant as soon as he and his brother entered their room. "Has humanity always had such a low IQ, or did we evolve into... THIS?"
Al sighed audibly. "You know, we are considered geniuses, so I'd think you'd know better than to be so rude, especially when I haven't even closed the door yet." He turned around to do just that, and his sibling plopped onto his bed angrily.
"I get that we're smarter, have natural talent, yada yada yada, but we shouldn't be... THAT much smarter, if you get what I mean."
"Compared to who? I'm not even sure what brought this on." Al admitted.
"You didn't see that?" Edward asked in disbelief.
"What?!"
"You had to be really far away to not have seen that."
"I wasn't that far away from you, Brother!"
Ed studied his sibling's face, despite that being a hard task, since his face is a metal helmet. "...You saw a cat, didn't you?"
"..."
"The moment you see one, you don't notice anything happening around you!"
"I'm sorry I was born with incredible focus just like you, Brother!"
"I'll take that as admitting!" Ed accused with a smirk.
"...Fine." He brought up his leather hand to cover his armored head. Whether it was out of shame or irritation, we will never know. "Just tell me what happened!"
"There was a full-blown fight between two men in the middle of the street," he began, "that was triggered by this." He pulled out a flyer and pointed to the bottom, which said 'See you there!'
"...How did that trigger a fight?" Al asked, bewildered.
"They argued that it was the wrong 'there'. One said it should be 'they're', as in 'they are', and the other said it should be 'their', as in 'it's theirs'."
"...But that's the right 'there'..."
"I KNOW!" Ed yelled as he held the flyer with both hands tightly and threw it against his left leg, ripping it in half. He seethed in anger as he crumpled the two pieces of paper up.
"...People seriously fought over this?" the Elric asked in complete flabbergastment.
"YES."
"..."
"There's been an infestation of idiots in this country! Run, before they hit us with their cars or push us off cliffs accidentally!" Ed yelled dramatically, stuffing his face into his pillow in frustration.
I would want to cry if this happened in real life. ;-; Notice that, once again, I have used the word "flabbergastment". I'm sorry, I just love it too much. XD And there's plenty of opportunities to use it in the kinds of fanfics that I write. *hehehe*
To mix things up, I'll give you a few Gravity Falls quotes. XD I found out that the second season premieres on August 1! *girly scream* It's basically an early birthday present, since I turn 15 on August 6. *wink* Since then, I have been rewatching episodes and stuff.
