Sorry I haven't updated in a while...
Gyaah, Jay is humming "Chichi Wo Moge" DX...
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA.
And here is chapter two!
Harriet suddenly slapped herself in the forehead. "Crap! It's 9:01! And I'm not at school!" She pulled on some clothes and ran out the door with Jay following, nude. (XDDDD!)
She ran into the dining room, and to her surprise saw Edward sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal casually.
"Ed! What are you doing?! It's 9:00! We should be at school right now!" Harriet grabbed his arm and attempted to drag him away from the table.
Edward wrenched his arm away, scowled, and returned his gaze to his bowl of cereal.
Just then, Al walked up from the basement and into the dining room. "Good morning, Harriet!" he said cheerfully.
"Al! It's 9:00! We're late!" spazzed Harriet, grabbing Al by his shirt collar.
"Wuuh?" said Al, sweating a little. "Oh, you didn't know?"
"Know what?!" shouted Harriet.
"Geez, don't yell," said Al. "We have today off of school."
"Oh. Sorry!" said Harriet, letting go of Al's shirt and backing into Jay, who grinned. Harriet looked back at him, startled.
"What are you looking at over there?" asked Al.
"Wuh?" said Harriet, looking from Al to Jay and then back to Al. "You mean you can't see-"
"Can't see what?" said Al. "There's nothing there but a wall..."
Jay chuckled.
"Shut up!" muttered Harriet.
"Wuh? Uh, ok..." said Al quietly, and walked to the table.
"Er, I wasn't talking to you!" said Harriet awkwardly.
Jay laughed again. "I told you I was your imaginary friend..."
Harriet looked down, blushed, than looked up. "Wear pants," she whispered. "And a shirt would be a good idea, too."
"Okay," said Jay. His body blurred for a moment, and when it came into focus he was wearing a tight-fitting dark green shirt with a large collar and a spike on each shoulder and a pair of light green spandex pants. He grinned.
"Why spandex?!" mumbled Harriet.
"I (or you) can take them off like normal clothes if I (or you) want to," said Jay, demonstrating by lifting up his shirt a little to show his belly button (and lightly defined abs, mmm abs... :P), "And I can also make them disappear." The clothes fuzzed out of focus and then revealed his, err... body.
Harriet blushed and averted her eyes.
The clothes reappeared. "You know, it's okay for you to look," said Jay, looking into Harriet's eyes.
"To... look?" questioned Harriet, not quite getting it.
"At me. Naked. All of me. I know you know what I mean now," he explained, moving closer and looking deeper into her eyes. "I can read your mind."
Harriet looked back into his piercing eyes, blushing. "Uhh..." she stammered.
"You don't have to talk out loud..." he said gently, and kissed her lightly in a way that made her want more.
"Hey, are you okay?" said Al from the table. "You look a little red. You should be careful, you might have a fever."
"No, I'm fine," said Harriet weakly.
"Harriet, you really look like you need some rest. Do you agree, brother?" said Al.
Ed looked up at Al, scowled, looked in Harriet's general direction and then back at Al, said "Hummf," and went back to his cereal.
A little later, after Harriet's mom had gone to the gym (and brought Naomi with her), Al and Edward went into the backyard to spar, and Madeleine and Skyler went out to watch, leaving Harriet "alone" in the house.
Meanwhile, at Shari's house...
Oh, wait, she's still asleep at that time of day. Lazy-head. XP
Well, at Magi and Sari's house...
"Pie!" said Sari to her elder sister.
"Blarg!" replied Magi.
"Mleh!" countered Sari.
"Guuh!" grunted Magi.
"Spleen?" inquired Sari.
"Geh," answered Magi. "Spuh wuh-wee wuhuh?"
"Merf," replied Sari with a nod.
"Sporgle!" said Magi violently.
"Darn," said Sari in disappointment, sticking out her lower lip.
"..." said Roy, eyebrows furrowed and mouth a little open.
Back to Harriet...
Harriet sat on the edge of her bed, studying the floor intently, trying to ignore the imaginary friend that seemed to be studying her intently.
"Umm... Aha!" said Harriet triumphantly, spotting her sketchbook on top of a pile of random junk. She picked it up, along with her little gay emo frog pencil case. (don't ask XD)
"Jay..." said Harriet hesitantly.
"Yes?" replied Jay.
"May I draw you?" she asked, blushing.
"Of course!" said Jay.
Harriet began sketching carefully.
In a few minutes, she looked at her finished drawing. "Augh, it looks nothing like you... oh well."
"That's okay," said Jay. He stared blankly at the floor for a moment. "Harriet, I'm going to tell you this directly: You really don't have to be so shy around me. I understand everything there is to understand about you... you don't have to try to hide anything from me. And it's not like I'm real or anything," he added, shrugging. "You can do whatever you want with me, and I will never hurt you like a real person would..."
They were both silent for a moment.
"I understand," said Harriet quietly.
And that was chapter two!
Now, I'm going to ask for a vote on this (but votes from Magi, Sari, and Shari won't count):
Should there be a lemon in the next chapter?
Please give your answer in your review.
Well...
Toodles! (:
