When we reached Roy's house, which was rather messy, he showed us where Al and I could sleep. Al almost immediately started to clean.
"Well, after all of that, I'll be in the shower," and Roy walked into what I assumed would be the bathroom.
So, as Roy bathed and Al cleaned, I decided to test my new body. So I ran outside and started jumping as high and as far as I could. If I wanted to I would probably be able to jump and grab the roof of a two story building… how can cat's jump so high?!
I found that I could ran even faster than I could with longer legs, and because I was so young now, my stamina levels were off the charts.
"Oh yeah! This rocks!" I yelled from the middle of the yard.
"Big Brother, er, Ed. What are you doing?" Al asked, coming outside.
"Oh nothing, I'm just having some fun. Wanna spar?"
"I'd probably hurt you though."
"I bet not."
"Fine then, let's spar."
As we battled, I realized that I was hardly breaking a sweat, while Al was breathing heavily. I jumped back.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, but you were right. I think you finally won against me fair and square…"
"YES!!"
"Isn't that kind of strange though? I mean, you're supposed to be five. How can you manage all of that?"
"Once again, that is for me to know and you to never find out," I probably had the biggest smile on at this point. I'd finally beat Al, and I felt better than ever!
"Big Brother, what is it you aren't telling me?"
"Oh nothing."
I ran back inside and headed toward my room. Suddenly, a door opened right in front of me and I ran right into it and fell on my butt.
"Ow…" I moaned, rubbing my nose. Suddenly, a certain colonel walked out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel around his waist.
"Oh, sorry. Are you alright Fullmetal?" he asked, almost in tears from trying not to laugh.
"I-I'm fine!" I replied, getting up and slowly walking away, so that I wouldn't make him wonder what had happened.
I was going to have nightmares for weeks! Why did he have to be wearing only a towel and why did I have to be on the floor looking up?! I may not like girls much, but that's only because they all beat me up! I have never thought of a guy like that, EVER. And right about now I can assure you that it'll NEVER happen. I hope….
