Ferret Freak, Chapter Two

When I woke, I found a red jacket had been laid over me like a blanket. I knew whose this was!

"Mimi, is your boyfriend the Full Metal Alchemist?" I was more than surprised.

"Yeah," she said, "Weren't you listening?"

"Mimi," Katherine interjected with her quiet logic, "Gina was sleeping."

"Oh yeah, sorry." Mimi rubbed her neck.

The train stopped, and the conductor said, "Now arriving at: Central Station." Well no duh! I grabbed my bag, and headed out of the train. Mimi and Katherine followed me out. I knew about Mustang, and about Jean, but I didn't quite understand what my dream about some Crystal Heart, or me being a ferret chimera was about.

Duh, I was a cat chimera. Ferrets are such jerks. Honestly… I don't understand what my dream was about?

Deep in thought, I didn't even notice a boy running towards me. Of course, I ran right into him.

"Hey, watch where you'rbe going!" It was…the Fullmetal Alchemist!!

"Sorry, Mr. Elric!" I didn't look at him.

"Ed!" Mimi shouted long brown hair and red jacket flapping behind her.

"Mimi! Hey!" He gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

I didn't even think that Ed would notice me, but he said, " Sorry, you need help up?" I just scowled up at him and tried to get up myself. A strong hand from behind me helped me up.

"Hey, sorry about the brat's attitude. You okay?" Havoc grinned.

"Havoc!" Mimi hugged him. Katherine hugged him too, smiling.

"You seem to have a new friend? Care to introduce us?"

"This is Gina. Gina Laurence. A cat-"

"Lover! I'm a cat lover! Right, Mimi? Katherine?"

"No, you're a chi-"

"Chiropractor in training!" I stomped down hard on her foot.

"Yow! Gina! That was not nice! C'mon you're cat side can't be that mean!"

"Cat side?" Havoc looked confused. I mentally cursed Mimi's ignorance.

"Cat-ty side." Said Katherine, thoroughly saving my butt for the hundredth time this life.

"Oh. You guys all have a place to stay?" Havoc's hand still hadn't moved from my shoulder. I didn't mind, he didn't seem like a bad man. Though- he stepped away from me, saluting to a man behind me. "Hey chief." Havoc grinned yet again.

"Hey, Havoc. I know that Katherine will be staying at Taisa's since they keep flirting with each other, and Ed's barely got any room left in his…car…" Mimi grinned. "So will you take care of Gina?"

"But I barely know her!"

"She seems to know you."

I noticed Havoc giving me an odd stare.

"When did I?"

Mimi motioned to Katherine, who brought out a camcorder,

The screen showed me lying on the bench of the train moaning, "Havoc! Don't! Stop! …mmm… Havoc…" What probably sounded like an orgasmic moan escaped my lips.

"No! That's not what happened! See, I was dreaming and-"

"Ooh!"

"Urusei. And he gave me the Crystal Heart."

"Uh huh…"

"and so I could save my parents that 'Father' was holding captive."

"Yeah."

"But I replaced my heart with his and ended up near death when he woke up."

"No!"

"Yeah, and then I told him I loved him and died…"

"Wow! And this was just a dream?"

"Yeah…"

Havoc was thoroughly creeped out.

I was kinda creeped out myself. I mean, a rocker chick like me doesn't just go around blurting out dreams about a man she's never met before! That's just not right!

"Sorry, Mr. Havoc. I'm not usually like that."

"Yeah, well, I was..like…SMP freaked out."

"SMP?"

"Shit my pants. Mustang…alcohol…don't ask…"

"Oh…kayy… But, uh…what Mimi said was true…"

"You…uh…need a place to stay?"

"Yeah…I was wondering if…."

"Listen Gina, you seem nice…but really. What will everyone think? And I barely know you!"

"Please!"

"NO!"

"Please!!"

"Ergh! Promise to stop begging?"

"Yes!!"

"Then fine.."

"Yes! Havoc's a pushover!!" I sang, dancing my happy dance.

By the time we got to Havoc's house, he only had an hour to get ready for his date. He apologized and headed straight for the shower. I eventually found my way to the room I thought was mine. I set my things down, pulling out my sketchbook, journal, and finished stories that I had written when I was on the train, along with a 3-ring binder full of lined paper to write on. Working on my newest story, titled "Start a revolution," (I'm really going to write one!!) I felt my stomach growl rather loudly. Navigating my way back down the hall and to the kitchen, I found the stuff in the fridge and made a bologna sandwich. Then, I went to go find my room again, but when I opened the door, Havoc was there, a towel loosely hanging from his waist as he bent over my story binder.

"I'm sorry…is this your roo- What are you doing! Those are my stories!"

I ran to snatch them away from him…then blushed. He had a great body! Jeez, what was he, a ninja? I grabbed my things and gave a quick glance back at Havoc. I made my way to the kitchen, spreading my things out again, and pulling out my iPod. (FOURTH WALL!) I thought I was alone, so I went into full on geek mode. Requiem. I loved it. It sounded Hispanic. So, I danced, stamping my feet and clapping my feet. I twirled, nearly running into the counter. I closed my eyes and swung my hips side to side, singing to the song, even though it didn't have any lyrics. Soon, I bumped into something warm.

Looking up, I saw Havoc. "So…you like dancing?" He arched an eyebrow.

"2 minutes. To your room…I'll show you." I followed him to the room right next to his. So if his date went well…I'd hear about it…

I opened my binder and Havoc said, "By the way…very emotional. I liked it. Keep at it, I wanna read more." He smiled and left, closing my door gently behind him. As if that was a cue, the doorbell rang.

A voice, sounding a little too sensual for my liking, said to Havoc, "Hey there, baby." He must've kissed her, because it took him a moment to respond with another, "Hey there yourself." I heard a clicking of heels and they talked, pouring wine, and eventually sitting down to dinner. My stomach growled.

A couple of minutes later, I heard a knock at my door. When I opened it, Havoc was standing alone, and he gave me a lopsided grin. "Care to join us for dinner?" I smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll be out in a minute, I just have to change."

Quickly changing into my nicest dress, I brushed my hair and opened the door. By the time I came out of the room, dinner was set and the two were getting ready to eat. One look at the woman and I knew why Havoc had chosen her. There was only one reason why and only one word to describe this woman: Boobs. She had a pair of the biggest boobs I had ever seen on a woman. I mean, I thought that I might be a little big for my age, she was like: baboom! Careful she doesn't hug you, you'll be lost in her cleavage.

Dinner went without a hitch. The woman was very nice. She was called Solaris. After dinner, Havoc asked me to read her one of my stories. I chose the first chapter of, "Start a Revolution". Solaris was nice, laughing at the dumb jokes, but for the most part…she was silent. Well, she was giggling. And flirting. With Havoc. Joy.

I felt a strange urge to rip the woman's throat out whenever she giggled, and I stumbled over a few words in my story.

"Rule Two: Food will be free, you'll never have to go shopping again.

Reality: Food meant for scavengers and animals is brought to your house and- you know what? You two seem really comfortable." I glared at Solaris, who was attached to Jean's arm. "I'll just go to my room." I slammed the story down onto the counter, running as fast as I could.

I slammed my door shut, and as soon as I locked it, I burst out crying. I knew that havoc would be too busy with Solaris, so I let my tail and ears out. For some reason, whenever I stroked my tail, it comforted me. I let out a particularly loud sob, wiping my runny nose on my sleeve. I knew this wasn't how a 15 year old should act, but I couldn't help it.

A knock from the door startled me, and I scrambled for my covers. Havoc stood by the door and said,

"C'mon Gina. Is it really that bad?"

"Go back to your whore, you jerk!"

"She's not my whore! Just lemme in and I'll explain!"

"No!" I hissed, claws retracting from under my fingernails.

Jean prepared himself, and with a well-aimed kick, broke my door in. I hissed again, nearly ripping holes in the sheets that were covering me.

"Gina, c'mon! Just talk to me!" He pulled the sheet off my head.

"Now the- uh…what's on your head?"

"Cat ears. I'm… a cat…chimera. I was wounded in the Ishbal massacre. Go ahead and leave me, I know you probably don't want to be near me now." I clenched my hands, blood dripping onto the sheets to join my tears.

"Never. Gina, you're just like I've imagined for so long."

"I- wha?"

"You're the girl I've dreamed of."

"Jean, how much have you had to drink?"

"Only a couple glasses of wine. Why?"

"You're drunk."
"No I'm not!"

"Yes, you are. Now go to bed and talk to me when you're sober."

"I'm telling you, I'm not drunk!"

"I'll talk to you in the morning, Jean."

"Gina-!"

"Goodnight Jean." I pushed him off the bed and out the door. This couldn't be happening. I wouldn't allow it. Because I know exactly what would happen if I tried to talk to him . I'd cry again. I'd tell him that I thought I was in love with him…That's not going to happen while I'm sober.

A/N: Okay, that's the end of the chapter, for now. I'm sorry to all of you who've read this and liked it, but I've been busy with school. I also have to work on some other stories. They've been abandoned for a while. ShizenKuso. And all of that good stuff. Oh, and Damt. I hope you all understand, because if you don't, then you are mean, or don't have to go to school. But if you don't have to go, you have to understand, because you must be out of school, and remember what it's like to have to keep up with all your classes. Especially ones you aren't good at. Thanks for understanding, and I'll try to write more later.
