Whump. Whump. Whump. Wizz.
"Dammit."
Whump. Whump. Whizz.
"Son of a bitch."
Whump. Whump. Whum whump whump. Whump. Wizz.
"You little fuc--"
"Um, Brother, what are you doing?" Al asked nervously as he watched the strange ritual from the safety of the doorway.
"I'm playing paddleball, what does it look like?" Ed grinned innocently, holding a red paddle in his hand, and a ball attached by a string hung down from it. Ed then turned away from Al, stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth in concentration, and then tried again.
Whump. Whump.
"Where'd you get the paddle from?" Al asked slowly, as he watched the ball bounce off of the surface of the red paddle that matched his brother's coat so perfectly.
Whump. Whump. Whump.
"Mustang gave it to me," Ed answered simply, not taking his eyes off the ball. "He said it'd--"
Wizz.
"Dammit Al, you made me lose my concentration," Ed said in an aggravated tone before turning to look back at his brother. "He said it'd help relieve stress, whatever he meant by that. D'you wanna turn?" he asked, holding the paddle towards Al with a grin.
"No, you go ahead, Brother," Al said with a curious laugh. Ed smirked in anticipation and faced the ball once again.
Whup. Whump whump whump whump. Whump whump.
"I wonder what he did mean by that," Al remarked offhandedly, and Ed tried his best to ignore his sometimes maddening little brother. "The Colonel doesn't seem like the type to just give out gifts without out an occasion… Well, except for a girl he might be taking out on a date, I suppose…"
Wizz.
"What are you suggesting, Al?!" Ed demanded, whirling around to face his brother. Al just grinned innocently and shrugged. "No!" Ed shouted defiantly. "Hell no! He didn't mean it like that! No, no, no!"
"I didn't say anything like that, Brother," Al said, trying very hard to keep back a grin. "I was just thinking to myself, that's all. Where's your mind?"
"In my head, thank you very much," Ed spat angrily.
"Really?" Al said, cocking his head to one side. "Because it seems awfully close to the gutter, if you ask me."
"Alphonse Elric, I'm going to kill you!" Ed cried, lunging for his brother. Al merely laughed and ran out of the room. Ed just sighed and sat down on the bed pensively.
Whump. Whump. Whump. Whump.
Mustang hadn't meant it like that.
Whump. Whump.
He couldn't mean it like that.
Whump. Whump. Whump.
Could he?
Wizz.
"Dammit."
"Sir, might I ask as to what you find so amusing?" Riza asked coolly as she looked at Roy, who had a wide smirk on his face as he sat idly at his desk with his hands crossed behind his head.
"Oh, nothing," Roy said with a chuckle. "Just wondering what Fullmetal might be doing right now." He turned his chair, and laughed when he saw the raised eyebrow of Riza.
"I gave him a bit of a gift, and I'm curious as to how he might be taking it," Roy explained amusedly. "I'm sure it will drive him mad enough that he'll be a tornado the next time he comes barging in here."
"Sir, what did you do?" Riza sighed.
"Just had a bit of fun with the very willing Alphonse Elric," Roy said amusedly. "Happy April Fool's Day, Riza."
Yeah, so they probably don't have an exact "April Fool's Day" in Amestris, but Hey, everyone knows this. The best I could think of other than April Fool's is "Merry Mocker's" XD Yeah, it's very late, I know, but I finally thought of a good prank, so wahoo! was planning to do something like this for a while, but I couldn't think of a good prank. And paddleball really does help relieve stress, I did it this weekend, lol.
