The Counselor

The next day of school started off slow. Well, it WAS as Tuesday, those were always slow. Edward sat down in his desk, with a bored look on his face. Izumi walked in, waving at the class. They went through role call, and then Izumi picked up a different sheet of paper, "Today you will each be going in to the counselor to take a psychological test."

All the students in the class groaned, except for Alex and Lin, who looked ecstatic. Besides the fact that Lin and Alex were always ecstatic.

Ed questioned Izumi bravely, "Why?"

The majority of the class looked at Ed like he was crazy for even asking that, Mrs. Curtis wasn't the kind of teacher to answer non-subject related questions. She looked at him with a bored expression, "I don't know. Maybe it's just because psychological behavior tends to change more when you're older, so this test will determine if your bipolar, schizophrenic, ADHD, etc."

The class groaned again. They all ready all knew that there were going to be at least two ADHD people in this class, Lin and Maes. Alex maybe, but he was just really weird, not necessarily overly hyper.

Eventually, the class was filed out of the room and into the counselor's office, that had multiple seats. They were all given a test to fill out to EXACTLY what they thought about the questions, and soon enough, everyone was done.

The counselor smiled, "Everyone pass your test forward, and I'll identify for you each when I call you to the back room. You may talk quietly among yourselves."

She called Alexander back first. Edward yawned and leaned back into his chair, "This is soooo borrrinnnnggg!" he complained to Al. Al just shook his head at his brother, and Winry threw her pencil at Ed's face, "Quit complaining Elric."

Ed freaked out when the pencil hit his face, poking his eye, "OWWWW!"

Winry and Al both laughed at him, "CURSE YOU WINRY!" Ed had his eye closed, with a pissed of look, "It'll be all your fault if I'm blind! I'll sue you all!"

Alex came back out, "WELL HELLO MY GOOD PEOPLE!" He announced and waltzed out of the back room the counselor came out behind him with an exhausted/strained expression. That poor counselor, having to deal with Alex all by herself.

"Next is Oliver."

Oliver stood up and walked to the back room. The door closed and Ed resumed his glaring at Winry, "Thanks a lot, my eye hurts now..."

He nearly whined out the remark, rubbing his red, irritated, eye. Winry smirked and snickered evilly, returning Edwards glare with an amused kind of evil in her eyes.

Oliver came back out, a pissed off expression on her face. Everyone in the class KNEW that she was bi-polar, it was like realizing that ice was cold.

The counselor shortly followed behind her, "Alphonse is next, come on up."

Alphonse took his leave, navigating shyly into the back room. Edward and Winry got over their problems and chatted idly until Alphonse was put out and Edward called back.

Alphonse smiled when he sat down with Winry, "I'm fine, but brother is finally going to face the facts that he has anger issues."

Winry agreed with Alphonse, nodding her head. All of the sudden, a loud, hysterical, "WHAT?" came from the back room, "HOW CAN SOMEONE LIKE ME HAVE ANGER PROBLEMS?" It was clearly Ed's voice screeching to the high heavens. Winry and Al cracked up, this was hilarious.

Ed came storming out and the bell rang. Time for the next class period.

The counselor came out, "Come back tomorrow everyone!"

Ed groaned and Al and Winry laughed. Today was going to be a long day.
