The next morning Roy woke up, and Trisha was setting the table. Probably for breakfast. He then saw Ed and Al walk over to the table dressed in what appeared to be school clothes.
The uniforms that they had were the same Roy had worn when he went to the school there.
Ed's shiny automail arm glimmered in from the light coming from the window. Roy's eyes widened at seeing it, but he quickly calmed down remembering he was supposed to have seen it before.
"Roy, come to the table. Ed, don't forget, Winry is coming over for maitnence after school. Al, don't forget to clean out Mei's old fishbowl. Roy, don't forget to get ready for next Sunday's speech." Trisha told all of them.
She's the perfect mother, Roy thought. Ed sat down in his chair for breakfast, Roy sat down in his. Roy sat at the end of the table, Trisha sat to his right. Ed sat to his left. Al sat on Trisha's left.
"Daddy, where is Mei going?" Al asked looking as innocent as ever. Roy looked at him for a moment thinking, then finally came up with something he didn't know was completely idiotic.
"Mei's going to hell." He said simply, then began eating. Al gasped and little tears came into his eyes. It all happened so fast, Roy didn't know what to do.
Al screamed, "MOMMY MY FISHY'S GOING TO HELL!" then ran off into his room crying. Trisha glared at Roy and then walked up to Al's room.
Ed snickered. "That was pure genius. I knew there was somewhere I must of gotten my brains." Ed said. Roy smiled. At least he was getting through to one son. Now to get through to the wife and other son.
Ed and Al left to school, and Roy started to actually work on his speech. He didn't know that figuring everything out would be so complicated, yet so easy.
Roy went into town that day, and returned home that evening with a self cleaning fish bowl. Had to apoligize somehow right?
Al stood at the stairs looking at Roy.
"Hey kiddo, look what I have," Roy presented the fish bowl. "I walked by a pet shop, and saw it. I got it for you." Al's eyes widened.
"Wow!" He said smiling. "B-but, I don't have a fishy.." Al looked at his feet.
"Well, I figured this little guy needed a home real bad," Roy said and showed Al the fish in a bag. "So I thought maybe you could be a real good home for him."
"What if I forget to change the water?" Al asked. Roy smiled.
"That's the cool thing. It cleans the water itself. Just plug it in and presto!" Roy said smile widening.
"Do you think Mei would mind if the new fishy used her treasure chest?" Al asked.
"I think Mei would want the new fish to have it." Roy said. "How about a name?" Roy asked.
"Um…Shou Mei?" Al exclaimed. Roy ruffled his hair.
"Perfect name." Trisha watched from upstairs in her nightgown smiling.
Aw how sweet of Roy. Sweet moments are always the best! Unless your Hagane, and like sweaty sexy sex XD
