I hope that you all enjoy this segment and I apologize that it's a little shorter than the last one. The next mission will be longer, I promise!
And thank you again to Cheshire (cheshiregirl_13), Inuyasha (inuyashamoonlight634), Fallin (FallinFeathers), Goldenwing (goldenwing57), Jadengurl (jadengurl33), Inoflower (inoflower19), and Strawberry-chan for all the wonderfully devious ideas for this fic. I love you, guys! RED DAWN! :)
Mission Two
Knee-high Socks and Dog Ears
When Ed, Al, Vic, and the Rangers finally arrived at the Eastern Command Center, one of the Rangers, Inuyasha, pulled Guardian, Cheshire, and Ed to the side and said, "I have a great idea for another prank to play on Mustang if you're interested."
Guardian looked at Ed and Cheshire, who were grinning evilly, before turning back to Inuyasha. "What did you have in mind, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha smiled deviously then told them about her idea, making Ed and the other two Rangers smile wickedly. The three of them looked at each other and agreed. "That's a great idea, Inuyasha, and I have a few twists of my own that we can use, too," Guardian said as she grinned, her brown eyes sparkling with amusement at their combined ideas.

Ed, Guardian, Cheshire, and Inuyasha had made up an excuse that they were going to go see Hughes for a bit, but once the others were out of sight, they headed straight for Mustang's office ready to pull another prank on the Colonel. Ed led the three Rangers through the maze that was the Eastern command center and soon they arrived at Mustang's office.
The door was slightly cracked so they looked inside to see if Mustang was actually there, but they had to cover their mouths with their hands to stifle their laughter at the sight they saw through the crack in the door.
Mustang was trying to get the miniskirt off that Guardian and Ed had put on him, but the zipper just wouldn't unzip no matter how hard he tried, and Mustang was making a huge fool out of himself trying to take the miniskirt off of his body. And though she was trying so hard not to laugh, Guardian couldn't help but wonder how Mustang had gotten to his office without anyone seeing him in a miniskirt.
Ed had calmed down a little bit from laughing and was puzzled that Mustang couldn't unzip the miniskirt when he noticed the tiny little brick like structures on the zipper. Suddenly he remembered the faint blue light that had emanated from Guardian when she did 'alterations', as she put it, to Mustang's miniskirt. Ed looked at Guardian and asked, "Guardian, did you fuse the zipper together with…?"
"With alchemy?" Guardian said, finishing Ed's sentence for him before smiling deviously. "Why, yes…yes, I did, Ed. I am the Light Alchemist, after all."
"That's right. I had forgotten that you and Fallin passed the State Alchemy Exam together a few months back." Guardian nodded with a grin then back through the crack to watch the 'show' that Mustang was putting on for them, trying not to laugh too loudly in fear of Mustang hearing her. Guardian was one of the most talented alchemists Ed knew. Light Alchemy was not easy to master let alone perform. She was definitely on a different level than most alchemists and yet was so humble about her talent. That's why Ed looked up to her. Plus ever since they first met, Guardian had been there for him and Al like an older sister. Ed grinned at Guardian then turned back to watch Mustang through the crack in the door, chuckling softly at his superior.
"Darn this thing! Why won't it come off?" Mustang seethed as he tried desperately to pull the zipper of the miniskirt down so that he could put his uniform pants back on. Ed and the three Rangers struggled to contain their laughter, muffling their giggles and snickers with their hands, as they watched Mustang try to take off the miniskirt that Guardian and Ed had put on him, making a total fool out of himself.
But then Guardian gave Cheshire the signal and Ranger stealthily went into the room with the baseball bat that Inuyasha had given her when Roy's back was turned and wacked him up the side of the head with it, knocking him out cold. The others came into the room when Cheshire gave them the 'all clear' sign and Ed and Guardian lifted Mustang off the floor and put him in his huge desk chair. Inuyasha took out a thick rope from her backpack and she and Cheshire tightly tied Roy to his desk chair, tying complicated knot after complicated knot so that Roy wouldn't be able to free so easily.
As Cheshire and Inuyasha tied Roy to his chair, Guardian reached into her bag and pulled out a pair of black dog ears, snickering deviously. Cheshire looked back at Guardian after helping Inuyasha tie Roy up and asked, "Is there anything that you don't have in that bag of yours, Guardian? Or is it just endless like Mary Poppins' carpet bag?"
"Maybe it is…maybe it isn't, but that is for me to know and you to find out, Cheshire," Guardian said with a grin then she looked back at Roy with an evil smile on her face. "Oh, this is going to be good." Guardian put the dog ears on Roy's head and they all stepped back to get a good look at him. And as they gazed at their handiwork, Inuyasha said, "Hmm…he's missing something and I know what..."
Then Inuyasha grabbed something out of her bag that made her other three accomplices smile deviously. Guardian chuckled darkly and said to her fellow Ranger, "That is an awesome idea, Inuyasha! Why didn't I think of that?"
With that, the four of them finished up their handiwork and left the room after taking a picture of Roy to show the others with Ed leading them to where Hughes's office was.

When the Ed, Guardian, Cheshire, and Inuyasha came to Hughes's office, the other Rangers, Al, and Vic were already there as well as Riza, Breda, Havoc, Fuery, Falman, Armstrong, Brosh, Ross, and Sheska. And, of course, Hughes was there showing everyone pictures of his little daughter, Elicia, much to their dismay. Once the four of them entered the room, Hughes noticed them immediately.
"Yo! Ed, my boy, how have you been?" Hughes exclaimed then he noticed the three Rangers with Ed. "And who are these lovely ladies, Ed? Would you like to see a picture of my darling little Elicia, girls? Wait a minute…" Hughes stared at Guardian for a moment before his face broke out in a smile. "Guardian, is that you?"
Guardian smiled at the Lieutenant Colonel and replied, "It's been a while, huh, Hughes?"
"Almost two years! My, look at you, Guardian," Hughes said as he turned Guardian in a pirouette, making her smile. "You look so much like your mother now and so grown up. Elicia has gotten bigger since you last saw her and she's even cuter than before! Do you want to see? I have pictures, Guardian!"
"Maybe later, Hughes, but we have something to show you." Guardian pulled her digital camera out of her bag and turned it on. She pressed a couple more buttons before handing the camera to Hughes. Maes took one look at the screen on the back of the camera and laughed so hard that his sides started to hurt and his eyes started to tear up.
"Oh, my GOSH! This is priceless! Can you girls send a picture of this to me when you get the chance?" Hughes asked the three Rangers once he was calm enough to talk, handing Guardian back her camera. Guardian grinned and said, "Of course, Hughes! I'll be sure to send you a picture once I get it developed."
"Thank you, Guardian. Oh, that is hilarious! I'll need to show this to Gracia!"
"Okay, what did you guys do this time, Guardian? Because I know that you four didn't come to see Hughes like you said that you were," Vic asked raising a questioning eyebrow at Guardian, Ed, Cheshire, and Inuyasha. Guardian only smiled at him and said, "Would you like to see, Vic? We did get a picture of what we did this time."
Guardian gave Vic her camera and Fallin and Goldenwing scooted closer to him to see the picture. Vic looked at the camera screen. His eyes got really wide and he started chuckling a little bit before he said, "Oh, my gosh! Did you guys really do this?"
The four of them nodded with devious smiles plastered on their faces and Vic started laughing really hard. Fallin was already laughing relentlessly, grasping the table top to steady herself, and Goldenwing was on the floor laughing her head off.
"That is amazing! I bow to your awesomeness!" Vic said once he had calmed down enough to talk and bowed once to Ed, Guardian, Cheshire, and Inuyasha.
"Thanks, Vic!" Guardian said before Vic gave her a hug. Then Guardian passed her camera to the other Rangers and the military personal that were in the room with them and watched as they all started laughing at the picture as well.
"Oh, my gosh! Is that the Colonel in a miniskirt?" Havoc exclaimed still laughing, grasping his sides and almost collapsing onto the floor because he was laughing so hard.
"That is hilarious, you four!" Breda told Ed and the Rangers, wiping tears from his eyes from laughing. "You've got to get us all pictures of this! This is gold!"
"I guess Colonel Mustang is dead sexy in a miniskirt!" one of the Rangers said and that made everyone laugh even harder. Even Riza was laughing a little bit with everyone, finding looking at her superior in a miniskirt very humorous. As they all laughed until their sides were sore, tears streamed from their eyes, and their throats were dry from laughing so hard, Guardian, Ed, Cheshire, and Inuyasha looked at each other, giving each other high fives for a job well done.

Two hours later…
Mustang woke up, the back of his head aching for some reason, and tried to move only to find himself tied with thick rope to his desk chair. He started struggle with the ropes, trying to free himself, but then gave up when they didn't budge.
Roy looked down at his desk, then at his lap. His coal black eyes widened with horror when he saw that he was wearing a pair of black knee high socks and he was still wearing the dreaded blue miniskirt. The Colonel panicked a little bit then looked around the room to see if anyone was in the room with him that he knew, fearing the humiliation of his comrades seeing him like he currently was.
When he saw that no one was in the room with him, Roy sighed then looked out the window, only to gasp in horror. In the crystal clear panes, he saw that a pair of black dog ears that looked similar to Black Hayate's adorned his head as he gaped like a guppy at his reflection.
"WHAT THE HECK!" Roy yelled before he noticed a tape recorder on his desk. Roy leaned forward and awkwardly pressed play with his nose since he was stilled tied up tightly to his chair. His eyes started to burn with anger and rage once more as he listened to the message, just like when he heard the first recording.
"I love dogs!" He heard Ed's voice say in a tone that reminded him of Armstrong.
"They wear miniskirts…"
"…and knee-high socks," Cheshire said, finishing Inuyasha's sentence.
"Aww! Isn't the doggy-Colonel cute?" Guardian said in a tone that someone would use when talking to a baby or a dog before their laughter started to fill the air, mocking him yet again. Mustang started to fume once more and shouted angrily, "When I get my hands on you four, YOU'LL PAY!"
