I had to do it. It was just too cute to pass up. Plus, Ed needed a nosebleed. How else would Jean figure it out?
Plus, now everybody thinks Ed's a homosexual, which is a major part of the plot for the first 8 chapters.
Roy was in his outer office. The rest of his team plus some of Maes's was there too. "Are you guys going to be here every day?" he asked Maes.
"Drink your water," Maes replied.
Roy did. There was a poof, a puff of smoke and a small confused cry. Al got up to investigate. He peeked behind the desk, blushed and went over to Kain and whispered something to him. Kain got up and left.
"What happened?" Riza asked Al, trying to peer around him. She couldn't see anything.
"Nothing!" said Al.
"Then where's General Mustang?"
Al knew there was no excuse on the face of the planet that would work on her. "He's been chibified."
"What?" said everybody else at the same time. Kain returned with a stack of clothing. He passed it to Al who gave it to Roy.
There were several thuds. "Ow," said Roy. "Can somebody help me up?" He asked, pissed off. Al picked him up and set him on the nearest desk. He looked about the size of a two year old. "Thank you, Alphonse."
Ed turned away, Jean glanced at her. "That's weird," he said. "Ed never works when he doesn't have to." He picked up a piece of paper on her desk. It had gone red. "Oh, General! You should see this!"
"Give that back!" Ed grabbed it and turned back, but it was too late. Everybody had seen her nosebleed.
"Major Elric!" Jean said, shocked. "Does General Mustang make your door swing the other way?"
"What?' said Roy.
"No!" said Ed. "I'm only attracted to the opposite gender!"
Riza frowned. Something was off here. Maes was laughing. "Then how come he gave you a nosebleed?" Jean asked.
"Anybody would think he's cute when he's that small," Ed replied. They started shoving each other. He put his hands on her chest and shoved. Then he looked at them, as confused as Roy. She stormed out, humiliated. Maes took Jean out into the hallway. When they returned, Jean looked ashamed of himself. "I hit a girl," he told himself. Riza heard and looked at him. Roy was still confused. "I better go apologize," he said louder and left again.
Roy fell off the desk when there was another poof. Everybody looked away while he reached for his real clothes. "That didn't last long," he muttered.
