Summary: The Oktoberfest carnival started at Central Park and Greed has to deal with Cassie's older brother Chris that show little respect for her to the disappointment of Greed.

Notes: I am doing the 31 Halloween Writing Prompts this year, sounds like fun. The game skittles is like bowling but you take a small ball and try to knock down bottles.

It was getting dark and it was almost Cassie's shift at the Oktoberfest carnival to be over with. She volunteered to man the skittles game for a few hours before taking the rest of the night off to enjoy the carnival. Her brother Chris was going to replace her shift and he seemed a little late, that is when she heard someone slam some money on the counter.

"How much to play doll?"

Cassie smiled and replied, "Twenty-five sens for three balls."

"Okay, how about a hundred sens for twelve tries and a hot date." said Greed to Cassie as he placed a gold sen on the counter.

Cassie looked up at him and gave him the first three balls. Greed smirked, as he bowled the first pile of bottles knocking them over. Cassie set them up again and watched Greed go for a second time. This when on for a least a couple more times till Cassie's brother Chris finally showed, in which case she glared at her older brother.

"You're late Christopher." She snapped as she picked up the bottles that Greed knocked down for the sixed time.

"Sorry, but I did get here as fast as I could sis."

Greed's eyes widen, 'Sis?'

Giving Greed three more balls, "Well at lest you showed, I have a date to get to you know."

Greed hit the bottles again and watched as Cassie's brother picked up the bottles.

"Oh I love to meet this mystery man of yours sis. I hope he has the guts to show up." said Chris coldly.

Cassie just rolled her eyes at her brother and looked at him in a 'stop treating me like a damn baby look', "I am not a little kid anymore Chris."

Greed didn't say a word as Chris picked up the bottles and Cassie gave him the last three balls he paid for, but he wasn't happy the way Chris was treating Cassie. As he hit the bottles two more times and Chris picked them up two more times, he then asked Cassie as he hit the last time. "So I hit all twelve times, what do I get?"

"Well…" she looked at the prize racks and saw the various prized that he could choose and she pointed to a couple of large plush animals, a fan, a wallet as well a few other things. Then Cassie said, "I got to powder my nose, you can finish here right?"

Chris nodded to Cassie and replied, "Sure."

There were a lot of corny little trinkets, but there was one thing that caught Greed's eye, a starburst shaped glass statue with a blue heart in the center. "Can I get that star thingy with the heart in it?"

"Yeah, you can buddy. It is one of the handmade prizes that my sister made with her alchemy." said Chris as he handed the statue to Greed, "It isn't much of a prize there are better prizes than this little piece of shit."

Greed raised an eyebrow and it twitched, 'Did this little piece of puke just call Cassandra's alchemy a piece of shit?!' Clearing his throat, Greed looked at Chris in a mix of hate and wanting to use him as target practice, "Well I happen to like it and I would appreciate that you don't consider my girlfriend's alchemy as shit."

As Cassie came back Greed and Chris were having a somewhat civil conversation despite the noticeable tension in the air. "Let's go Greed, let's have some fun. Bye Chris." said Cassie as she wrapped her arm around Greed's waist and stuck out her tongue at him while Greed flipped her brother off showing Chris his ouroboros tattoo.

"So tell me Greed what did you get yourself?" asked Cassie being the little nosey person she was.

Greed took out the small statue and showed her. "I saw this and though of you and when your jack ass of a brother said you made it then I had to have it. Anything made by lovely Cassandra is priceless to me, just like the artist herself."

"Awe, Greed that is sweet of you to say. Thank you."

Lifting her chin up to look at her, he smiled and replied, "Cassandra you are perfect."

As they kissed the carnival's fireworks display started creating more starbursts for them.
