Summary: Ed is feeling really chipper today. This ought to be interesting.

The day was like every other day, and the Fullmetal Alchemist woke up with a yawn. He looked over at his brother, the armored boy waiting patiently for him to awaken, and smiled. "Morning Al." Al looked up at him and would have smiled as well if he could.

"Morning Brother." Came the reply as Ed got up and went to the bathroom, brushing his teeth, fixing up his hair, the usual. By the time they left the apartment, Ed was still smiling and was even whistling. "You sure are happy today." Al observed Edward as they walked towards Central. He was glad to see his brother so happy, what with how depressed he normally is, and was genuinely intrigued.

"Well Al, my wonderful younger brother, I'm just in such a great mood." Ed replied, and his smile got larger. "I don't even know why myself, I just am!" He laughed at himself and Al laughed as well, happy for him. When they reached Central, they found Fuery carrying a leaning mountain of paper.

"Heya Fuery!" Ed greeted as he walked up to him, smiling. "Whatcha doing?"

"Huh? Oh, hey Ed." Fuery greeted. "Just bringing paperwork to the Colonel. Poor guy's got a lot, as you can see." The tower was threatening to topple over, and Fuery had to keep adjusting where he was standing to compensate, only just managing to keep the stack from falling over.

Ed reached up and grabbed some of the paperwork, splitting the paperwork evenly between them. "Let me help you with that."

Fuery smiled. "Thanks Ed. You're the best!"

"No problem man!" And with that, Ed began walking. Fuery stared after him, a bit surprised but happy with that all the same. Al laughed.

"Ed is... really happy today for some reason." Al said, and Fuery smiled at him.

"Well, good for him. I'm glad he can still find reasons to be happy instead of... well, y'know. " They kept walking and soon got to Mustang's office, with a dumbfounded Roy, a new stack of paperwork on his desk. The Colonel sat there, blinking, as Fuery put down the next half of the stack, and Al looked around for his brother. Finding his brother was not in the room, Al looked at Mustang.

"Hey Colonel. Where's Ed?" He asked. Mustang looked at him, still a bit surprised.

"Well, he apparently went to get me some coffee." When the boy looked at him, he continued, "he brought me this stack of paperwork all happy-go-lucky, and I thought he was intentionally trying to be annoying, so I told him to go fetch me some coffee while he's at it and... he did..." Roy explained. Al chuckled.

"He's in a great mood, apparently." Al replied. Roy scoffed.

"Obviously."

It was then Ed returned with a mug of coffee for Roy. "There you go Colonel! Here's the coffee you wanted." Roy blinked and took the coffee, still a bit surprised. He took an experimental sip, prepared for any kind of prank like if Ed were to have 'accidentally' put salt instead of sugar, or something of that nature, and was genuinely surprises when he tasted regular old coffee. In fact, it was just the way he liked it. He nodded, and smiled. "Ahh, thank you Edward." He then blinked. Those were three words he never expected to say. Edward noticed this and tilted his head, wondering why Roy seemed so blown away. 'It's just coffee, can't be that good.' He thinks.

Ed went around the rest of the day like this, fetching things for people, helping a lot of people out with stuff and just being a general nice guy. The people who knew him well were shocked to say the very least. Ed noticed this being shocked, and was confused. 'What's with everyone?' He wonders, unaware that the reason was fetching Havoc's lighter for him. He returned with the lighter and Havoc smiled. "Thanks man, you're the best!" Havoc lit up his cigarette and grinned. He didn't know why Ed was so helpful today, but he'll be damned if he wasn't going to take advantage of it. Ed had plenty to do that day, as many of the others felt the same. By the time he got done helping people, it was time to head home.

Not only was Ed in a good mood, but he was also feeling lucky. A rather beautiful girl was dealing with some heavy groceries and Ed insisted on helping her, and by the time they walked all the way to the girl's house they had set up a meeting for the next day at the library, as it turned out the girl was quite the bookworm. When she went in, Ed called out to her, waving. "All right, it's a date!" The girl waved back, blushing, and Mustang and Co toppled out of the corner in shock, they having been tailing Fullmetal because of how weird he was acting.

Ed looked over at them, looking a bit surprised before they high-tailed it, leaving him to be utterly confused. 'What the hell was that all about...?' He wondered. He shrugged and began walking home, when he bumped into a random man. The man, who had been carrying a small bundle of papers, dropped them The papers went everywhere, covering the sidewalk. The man growled. "Damn it!" He turned to Ed. "Hey, watch where you're going pipsqueak!"

Ed froze. He stood there for a second, before spinning around, and walking back over to the man. He then... bent over and helped pick up some of the papers. When they got them all he held out the ones he had picked up. "Sorry about that, I didn't see you there. Also, please don't call me short, I don't like it." The man took his papers back and added them to the bundle before walking away, grumbling. Ed sighed. "Well, I guess everyone can't be in a good mood today." He turned on his heels and returned to walking home.

Later on that day, Ed was happily cooking himself dinner when the door slammed open. "EDWARD ELRIC!" Edward turned to see Winry walk up to him, looking a little more than angry at the moment. She put him at wrench-point, causing the alchemist to raise his hands, fearing for his well-being. "WHAT THE HELL DID MISS HAWKEYE MEAN WHEN SHE SAID YOU GOT A DATE?!" Riza, although she hadn't been pursuing him herself, heard it from the Colonel, and she had reported it to Winry. Why? Well, Riza was a mature, responsible woman, but even she couldn't resist causing a little trouble for the young alchemist.

"I was just going to meet this girl I met today at the library tomorrow, that's all." Ed replied. "So what?"

"Is that all?!" Winry demanded.

"Yeah, it is." He then noticed something. "Wait, why the hell do you care if I get a date or not?" He was very much confused by Winry's behavior. Why IS she angry he has a date for tomorrow?

Winry didn't respond before going crimson."W-well, you see..." She struggled to try and think of an explanation, bumbling around with her speech, before simply hitting Ed with her wrench, knocking the poor boy to the ground before running out.

The alchemist got up and growled, feeling his cheek. What the hell was that?! He asked her a simple question! "Jeez!" He then looked to the heavens, grabbing at his head. "WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING SO STRANGE TODAY?!"
