Chapter 1: The Two Roys
Roy sat at Tabi's desk with a glass of milk in his hand.
"I GOT IT!"Roy shouted slamming his glass down slashing his milk all over the place. He got up and went into the living room where books covered the carpet. He went to a book that lay on the couch. He flipped through it and found what he was looking for. "Thank you Professor Weltal!"
He cleared the floor and picked up the carpet and put it aside. Then he got out a piece of chalk and set to work.
When he was done he sat down on the floor in the middle of the circle and capped his hands then pressed them onto the the circle. There was bright light and when it subsided he was sitting on the carpeted floor. He got up and looked around at the clean apartment. It must have worked. He walked to the calender and sure enough it was a few days before Tabi's birthday and He was at work and Tabi was out doing things with her mother and sister getting things ready for her birthday.
Roy was 'signing papers' when he saw something rather unusual. He watched himself walk into his office.
"Excuse me." He said.
"Hello." Roy said unable to say anything else.
"I need to talk to you, you see I'm from the future."
"How can I make sure you're from the future?" Roy asked lacing his fingers in front of him.
"When we were younger we had a fort and hidden in small space were five nudy mags and in the April addition one of the pages was torn out because we had it taped to the ceiling in out room." Future Roy explained.
"All right so what is it you want to tell me?" Roy asked looking up at himself.
"On Tabi's Birthday she is going to be kidnapped. And you won't make it to save her unless you know where she is going to be held. I'm not sure when she's going to be kidnapped that day. You will find her on the outskirts of town in an abandoned house... You will see your car parked in front of it." Future Roy said. Roy looked up at him and noticed that he looked like crap. He had stubble and dark circles under his eyes.
"Okay. Is it during her party?"
"Yes." He replied, he was pail and his hair was a mess.
"Okay. Why don't you go back the future and I'll take care of it." Roy said as he stood up and walked around his desk.
"You better or I'll come back again." Future Roy said glaring tiredly at him.
"I know you will." Roy said putting his hand on his shoulder.
Roy thanked past Roy and left.
"Hey colonel." Ed said waving, "Tabi sent me to... What happened to you? You look like you were run over by a car."
"I was doing some research and and I tried something out and I did it wrong." Roy explained. "Now what did Tabi want?"
"She sent me to get you so you can get fitted for your costume." Ed said.
"Okay I'll be right back... I'll just get cleaned up." Roy said turning around, "Tell Tabi I'll be right there."
"Okay."
Roy entered his office and turned to Roy.
"Tabi want's to fit you for your costume."
"Don't you mean our costume?" Past Roy asked.
"Fullmetal brought it to my attention that I look less then nice today so I told him that I'm going to change. So go." Roy said.
"Okay," Past Roy said getting up. "Thanks for telling me."
"No problem." Roy said walking over to himself and shook hands.
"Bye." Future Roy said leaving out the door. Roy went over to his desk and sat down.
"Roy!" Tabi said hugging Roy.
"Hey." Roy said hugging her in return. He stepped out of their hug and looked down at her. she looked as cute and sweet as ever so he hugged her again.
"Are we huggy or what?"Tabi said with a smile in her voice.
"Hey Roy." Hughes said as Roy and Tabi's hug ended.
"Hey Meas." Roy said.
"I thought I would get your measurements together." Tabi said happily.
"You caught me at my lunch break." Roy lied. "I was just about to get myself a hotdog."
"Oh well I can make you guys food." Tabi chided.
Roy made up the transmutation circle to go back to his time and sat down. He paused for second and looked around him, then got up. He didn't want to leave yet. He wanted to see her one more time before he went back just in case he messed up again. He went to his room and got out a clean uniform and went to the bathroom.
After shutting the door behind him, he undressed and got into a warm shower. He stood there as he let the warm water slide down his masculine body and into the tub. He washed his hair and rinsed then started to wash his chest.
After he was out of the shower he got out dressed and started to shave. When he was done with that He decided to take a small nap.
"Roy I didn't know you were going to be home early." Roy heard Tabi's sweet sultry voice say. He smiled and opened his eyes to see the beautiful redhead above him. He sat up and kissed her. She felt warm, so warm. It felt so good to have her in his arms again. They slowly went down to the bed together.
"Happy early birthday." Roy whispered after the kiss.
"Oh you're so sweet." She said.
"I missed you."
"But you saw me a few hours ago." Tabi giggled.
"But it felt like ten years." Roy sighed.
Roy left work and drove home to hear himself and Tabi laughing. He smiled and walked to a pay phone and dialed Havoc's number.
"Hello?" Havoc said answering the phone.
"Hey its me can I come over?" Havoc heard Roy's voice say.
"Oh sure why not." Havoc asked.
"I'll be there shortly then." Roy said.
"Okay see you then." Havoc said.
"Bye." Roy said and then hung up. Havoc hung up as well and sat down on the sofa and wondered why Roy need to come over at this time
"Whats wrong," Penelope asked.
"I'm sorry Penny but I'm going to have to reschedule our date, My boss is coming over." Havoc said.
"Okay," She said sadly as a knock sounded at the door. He helped Penny get her coat on and brought her to the door.
"Hello." Roy said to Penny, she waved back shyly and left.
"Hey, so whats going on?" Havoc asked.
"She was pretty."Roy said, "She new in town?"
"No." Havoc said, "She moved here two months ago. Now whats going on?"
"I will tell you if you can keep a lid on it."
"Fine what ever." Havoc said, "My lips are sealed."
"No way! For real!" havoc asked.
"Yes for real."
"So time alchemy does work."
"Apparently, I'm glad that I kept Professor Weltal's research."
"Are you going to tell her father?"
"No I think if I told him I found out that Tabi is going to die unless I can save her he is going to be very upset." Roy stated and he didn't want it to get out and back to Tabi.
"What are you going to do?"Havoc asked.
"On her birthday as soon as Ed tells me she's gone I'm going to find her and save her."
"But that's not the only way. you could have people guarding the party." Havoc said.
"I could but then Tabi might know something's up and I don't want her to know."
"Tell Ed." Havoc stated. " He and Al can keep an eye on her."
"Trust me she'll get it out of them, she got them to tell her what I was getting her for Christmas."Roy said.
"So you're just going to go after her alone?"
"Yes, I think its the best way."Roy said.
Roy hugged Tabi for the third time that evening and said, "I have to go check the mail."
"Okay hurry back." Tabi said as he slipped out the door. He was so happy that he could almost fly. He lost seven games of chess had tuns of Poky and had a tickle fight. It was time to find a place to stay so Past Roy could go to sleep with his future bride. He found a pay phone and called Havoc.
"Hello," Havoc said as Roy ran out of the kitchen."Yeah, you can and I'll tell him to call when they leave to her fathers then you can go back. Okay, see you then yep, Bye." He hung up the phone and turned back to Roy.
"I assume that was me?"Roy said and Havoc nodded. "Excellent what did I say?"
"Well you're coming over and you want you to call when you and Tabi go to her fathers so you can go back to the future." Havoc said.
"Okay, that sounds like a plan."Roy said as he smiled, "So I should be here soon so I should probably get going."
"Yeah," Havoc said.
Tabi sat at her desk and smiled down at it as she drank some milk when she heard the door shut.
"I'm back." Roy said. "There was nothing in the mail by the way."
"Oh okay." Tabi said happily, meeting Roy in the kitchen.
"I'm kind of hungry." Roy said.
"How can you be hungry, you just had five boxes of poky." Tabi said chuckling.
"I'll just have a glass of milk."
"Alright, a glass of Milk and another two boxes of Poky." Tabi chuckled as she went to the fridge to get it out.
"What are the plans for tomorrow? I have the day off."Roy said as he leaned against the wall.
"I thought we could go to mom and dads." Tabi said with a smile. "I have to fit mom and Elisia for their costumes and dad wanted us to stay for dinner."
"That sounds wonderful." Roy said as he watched her drop one of the glasses in her hand. It fell to the floor and shattered making milk go very where.
"Oh no." She clapped her hands and the glass started to fix itself. "Ow." Tabi held her hand as the glass finished fixing itself. Roy knelt down to look at Tabi's hand and saw that it was bleeding.
"Hang on." Roy said leaving her.
When he came back she was cleaning up the milk. He rolled his eyes as he grabbed her by the wrist.
"Stop I have to bandage your hand." Roy said as she stopped what she was doing. They walked over to the table and sat down. He wrapped her and got up.
"Why don't you just take it easy." Roy said as he started to wipe up the remainder of the milk.
"Okay." she said in a hushed voice as he stood up and picked up the recently broken glass. He turned to Tabi who was looking down at her injured hand.
"Look at this, your blood is now apart of this glass. It's yours now." Roy said handing Tabi the glass. it had a red line through it. He pored milk into it and grabbed his own glass and the two boxes of Poky next to it. "Can we watch another on of your moving pictures?"
Havoc sat on his sofa next to future Roy who looked really good for his age.
"Do I get a girl friend in the future?" Havoc asked.
"Yes, but it turned out she was dating you to go out with me."
"Man that always happens." Havoc said sadly.
"Yeah, But I've turned down every girl down since I started to go out with Tabi." Roy said, "I haven't stopped turning girls down since her death. She ended up going back to you."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah and you said that you rather date Oliver then her."
"Oliver Armstrong?"Havoc asked. "She is beautiful."
"She is." Roy said, "You wont believe this but in a week in my time you're getting married."
"To who?" Havoc asked curiously.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Roy said.
"Do I know her?"
Roy smiled as he looked at his friend, single and sweet on the ladies.
"Him." Roy said with an internal smile.
"Him?" Havoc asked his eyes wide. Roy couldn't help it, it was too funny so he burst into laughter.
"I'm kidding. You will get married to a woman." Roy said through laughter as Havoc glared at him.
