So, My best friend Aubree was looking through my deck of 2003 FMA playing cards and she's looking at one and she says "I like how Ed has a basket with wine in it." Because it was like a picinic thing with Ed, Al, Winry and Pinako, so I jump up and snatch the card yelling "THE PICINIC SCENE!" And I start jumping around and fangirling. And the picinic scene is in the chapter 'Story Time!' I was dying of awesome refrencing...ah, royai...

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA and that's part of the reason I like to write depressing stories...

Alchemy!

Roy Mustang was watching his two sons coloring as he ate his breakfast. He took a bite, only to be called away from his morning cereal, by a flash of blue light. He looked up, seeing the two boys talking, amazed, by a little stone flower.

"Did you boys just make that?" He asked, looking at them curiously.

"Yeah! Uncle Edward taught us some alchemy the last time he was here!" Travis said. Aaron transmuted a piece of paper into a little crane.

"Huh. So are you guys really into alchemy?" He asked, looking back at his bowl.

"Yeah!" Travis said. However, Aaron looked embarassed.

"What's the matter?" Roy asked, directing his spoon to point at Aaron.

His younger son replied in a quiet voice "I prefer guns. They're just easier for me to use in case I have to protect myself. Mommy taught me how to shoot." He said. "But alchemy is great too!" He said. He didn't want his alchemist father to be angry that he just didn't have as much interest as his older brother. He looked up at Roy like he had just done something wrong, but Roy responded happily.

"Exactly like your mother. I bet she'd be proud." He said, patting his son's shoulder.

Aaron replied with a big smile. "So, will you teach us alchemy?" They asked in unison.

"Sure, but I don't know more than the basics of traditional alchemy, my specialty's with fire." He said, taking time to have another bite of cereal.

"Will you teach us flame alchemy?" they asked again.

"I don't know, it's very dangerous." He said, thinking it over.

"We can handle it!"

"Okay, but you're not going to be using it." Roy said sternly.

"Awwww" Travis sighed sadly.

Roy took out an ignition glove. "This is the circle I use." He said, showing it to them.

"Wow, where did you learn flame alchemy anyways?" Aaron asked.

"..." Roy didn't want them to know about the tattoo on their mother's back. "...from your mother's father.." He said, moving back to his cereal.

"Can't I just try it on Dad, Pleeeeeeease?" Travis looked up at him. Roy choked up. He couldn't take it. He couldn't say no to those eyes. Her eyes. All he saw when he looked Travis in the eyes, were the obvious features of Riza, she was evident in every way. "Dammit." He thought, before submitting, and handing a glove to each of his sons. "Now, be very careful and don't set anything on fire." He told them.

Travis took one look at Aaron, who shook his head. He looked the white glove over, then messed with it to see how to use it. Travis, of course, made the wrong move of snapping.

BOOM! The kitchen exploded. Roy put on a third glove, and controlled the blast. when the smoke cleared, it was one of those clasic shots, where the three of them were covered in soot and ash, and of course their hair was spread out in every direction.

"Oops." Travis whispered, timidly. He shrunk down and took off the glove, scrunching away from his father. That really hurt Roy on the inside. Travis should know that Roy wouldn't do anything, It was an accident, which mostly Roy's fault anyways for giving him the glove, and Riza's fault for passing those irresistable eyes to their son. But he was saddest of all, when he saw those eyes. Riza's eyes looked back at him, hurt and scared. Roy stared into them, and hugged Travis.

Aaron also looked at Roy with fear, but for a different reason "Um...Dad?"

"Hmm? what's the matter?" He asked.

"Y-Your hair! It's on fire!" Aaron told him.

"Gahhhh!" Roy yelled, patting out the flames. Riza came into the destroyed kitchen.

"What's with the yelling?" She asked.

"Our son Riza, he set my hair on fire!" Roy said, rubbing his head "My hair..."

"Well, it's your fault then isn't it? You shouldn't leave your gloves lying around for them to get."

Aaron knew just what to do to calm his mother down "Mommy, it was a pure accident, Daddy was teaching us alchemy and Travis accidently rubbed the gloves together." He looked up at her.

Riza felt exactly like Roy. It was those eyes dammit! But Aaron looked at her with the eyes that begged her for almost two years straight to have a child in the first place. Roy's eyes. She couldn't take it. "Okay, no one's getting in trouble but...what...happened...to the kitchen! It's completely destroyed! Roy-..." She started to yell, but Roy slipped on an ignition glove and altered the air around her head, making poor Riza faint. He walked forward quickly to catch her, and turned to his sons.

"Help me clean this before she wakes up!" He said desperately. They got out the cleaning supplies while Roy carried Riza back to their room. He left her there while he went back. They cleaned the kitchen up in record time, partially using basic alchemy to repair various things. They all sighed in relief.

Riza woke up a decent amount of time later, lying on the bed. "Huh? Roy? Kids?" She asked, wandering about the house. Roy was in the kitchen, and instead of day, it was night. He was giving displeasing looks to his hair.

"Aw hell, the ends are completely singed off." He sighed, inspecting it.

"Where are the kids?" She asked.

"In bed." He said. "Hey, do you have anything that might help my poor hair?" He asked, sending more displeased looks to the out of place strand of raven colored hair he twisted around his finger.

"I think so, come on." She said, dragging him to the bathroom. She handed him a small bottle "Here, the lady at the salon gave this to me when you burnt my hair on accident. But you're still going to have to cut it some." She said.

"When did I burn your hair?" He asked.

"When you forgot to take off your gloves and tried to pull a strand of hair out of my face." She told him plainly.

"Oh, ummm sorry. I'm sure you got over it, was probably a while ago." He said, turning a bit red.

"Roy?"

"Yeah?"

"That was last week." She told him, before stumbling. Roy caught her.

"You okay?"

"I'm just still a bit dizy." She said, steadying herself. "And I swear Roy Mustang if you ever alter the air around my face and pull a cheap trick like that again, I will shoot you."

"Oh, well I'm sorry for that too. It's just that umm.." He stuttered, before Riza grabbed his tie and pulled him in for a small kiss. He wrapped his arms around her, and they remained in the hallway for ten whole minutes, with Travis and Aaron watching them from behind their door.

Aaron smiled, while Travis headed back to bed. Aaron crawled into bed, and his last thoughts before falling asleep were "I'm glad they love each other so much."

Heh heh, Roy's hair got set on fire. And poor Riza. You know, that was actually one of Roy's methods for picking up women, he alters the air around them to make them dizy, then he comes in all like 'Are you okay Miss? Anything I can do for you?' I like how I say 'was' because it will never happen again as long as he has Riza! Royai! So, P.S. Every time you don't review, Roy's hair gets set on fire, and everyone at the office is going to laugh when he goes to work. Don't humiliate Roy! Please, I beg you! REVIEW!
