Originally this was going to be Roy and Riza instead of Maria and Denny

Maria fought back a sigh as Mrs. Bradley apologized once again for the inconvinence.

"I know you must be busy, but I can't leave him all alone at home, he's still just a child, and he'd be more safe with you," She had explained as she held Selim.

Maria and Denny, along with most of the military, had accepted that Pride was not Selim and had no memories of it. Pride was now just a child, and Maria would treat him as such. But why did Mrs. Bradley have to ask her and her partner to watch over the boy for the day?

Selim was currently on the floor playing with Black Hayate, Riza had asked Denny to dogsit him for her, as Maria did some paperwork.

Suddenly she stopped and motioned for Denny to come over.

"Yeah?" Denny asked.

Maria stared at him and gestured at Selim, "Whats with that dot on his forehead?" she asked.

Denny tilted his head then looked at Selim and the dot. It was strange, from what he head about the homunculi he would have expected an ouroboros, not this dot. "I do not know," he admitted.

Maria nodded and continued her paperwork, trying hard to fight back the temptation to see just what the dot was. She didn't want to scare Selim with that and she didn't want to anger Mrs. Bradley, she had seen her wrath, no pun intended, when a group of people were harassing her about her keeping Selim.

Needless to say, the group probably needed the militarys help more then Mrs. Bradley did when she was done with them.

Glancing to her side, she noticed Denny too, was having trouble from trying to find out what that dot was. But they had to, they needed to get their work done and couldn't waste time with something like his dot.

But the more she worked, the more she found herself giving in to it.

After about three papers, she was walking towards Selim.

"Yes?" Selim asked looking up from where he was sprawle on his stomach, Black Hayate on top of him pinning him down.

Marie gestured for Black Hayate to get off then picked up Selim.

Selim just stared at her, wondering what was going on as Denny walked up and raised a hand.

He then poked the dot on his forehead.

His expression went blank and suddenly his shadows surrounded them all and seemed to cover every surface around them.

the two military officers blinked in surprise and horror as the eyes and teeth gleamed at them but Selim/Pride said nothing, in truth, his brain seemed to have gone on a vacation when the shadows came.

"Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod!" Denny cried out as one went close to him.

"What are these things!" Maria yelped, she had heard that Prides powers involved shadows, but didn't expect this!

Denny was freaking out even more then her, "PRess the dot! It might reverse it! Press the dot!" He wailed.

Maria, panicing too, and unintentionally shaking Selim/pride like a ragdoll, stopped and poked the dot.

The shadows went away and his brain seemed to return.

"Why are you looking at me like that? did I do something wrong?" Selim asked.

Maria and Denny let out a sigh as she put him down, "No, nothing wrong," they said and stumbled back to their desks. They were never pressing his dot again.

Who should be next?
