Edward Elric and the Personality Siblings
Chapter Seven – Babysitting
Both Edward and Alphonse walked down the street looking around for any look-a-likes and for Tellma's tent. Just earlier they had gone back to the same spot that Ed had found her tent, but when they returned there was an empty space. She was gone.
"That stupid lady! She fled town! She knew I'd come after her so she flew town!" Ed cursed kicking the ground under his feet. Alphonse tried calming him down. After realizing that Ed was just too frustrated to keep searching they took a break by the fountain.
"Some fun we're having," Ed pouted "This is all turned out to be a mess!"
"But Brother, it could be worse! The Personalities could be running amuck around town and-."
Suddenly, there was a loud scream that came on the other side of the fountain. The two brothers turned around only to see the back of a small girl's head. She was crying loudly as she pointed at a man stealing her small hand bag with a teddy bear hanging out from the side.
"TEDDIE!" she screamed, "GIVE HIM BACK TO ME!"
Edward looked at Alphonse, giving each other a signal that it was time to go to work.
But when they made it there they saw something incredible. This girl had Auto-mail and when she clapped her hands she created a large pillar that struck the thief in the side, causing him to drop the bag that contained her precious teddy bear.
"E-Ed! Did you see that?" Al yelled, shocked.
Edward didn't respond. He just stood there, staring at the girl. After the girl retrieved her bag from the unconscious man and turned around he gasped.
Ed saw his eyes. That was him, but he was a little girl. They had found another version of himself. She was wearing a pink coat along with a pink skirt and shirt. Let's not forget the huge pink bow in her hair.
"Come on Mr. Teddy let's get going!" she cheered. But before she could Ed raced in front of her and continued to stare at her, without saying a word.
They all had an awkward moment of silence before the girl broke it.
"Hey, there you are! Oh no Mr. Teddy looks like we've been figured out." She smiled.
"Are you...me?" Ed asked.
The girl nodded, "Yep! My name is Eddie! I know it's a boy name but it's the only cute name close to yours! So..." she used her foot to draw circles in the ground.
"Fine," Ed blushed. He knew that Alphonse found it funny because he was looking away from him, trying to hold in his laughter.
Did he really act like a little girl sometimes?!
"Look, why don't you come back to the hotel with Al and I? There are already three other Personalities there waiting." Ed explained.
Eddie snickered, "Really? Only three? You sure do have a long way to go."
"What is that supposed to mean?" he yelled.
"Ed, there are 12 of us in total. That means that eight others of us running around in the town!" what she said shocked not only Ed but Al as well. Eight others? But that was so many!
"Impossible? Why are there so..." Ed's voice trailed off, he was starting to feel hopeless. Someone was bound to figure out there was more of him before he could collect them all. And when there was more of him the military was bound to get involved.
"Ok, Eddie what do you want? I know me and you want something don't you...?" Ed crossed his arms and glared down at the girl. He noticed that her Auto-mail was a little rusted. That couldn't be good. Had she gotten into a fight or was it already like that to begin with. Well, whatever it was they had to get it fixed.
Wait?! Was he starting to feel sympatric for her? He winced at the thought and then listened to what she had to say.
"Good job Edward. You know you well!" she laughed and then twirled around in a circle. "Take me to the Candy Store on Milkberry Street. I've heard that they have the best Carmel Pops in all of Amestris."
Edward smacked his face, "A Candy Store? You want to go eat candy? This better be worth it! And you'd better not be lying to us!"
Alphonse tried to calm him down but then Eddie interrupted, "Oh and Alphonse gets to be my little Brother today!"
"What?!" A panicking Alphonse was dragged near the girl.
Ed rolled his eyes, "Fine. We'll play your game."
"Ed?! You're not the one becoming her little Brother? Don't I get a say?"
Eddie and Ed exchanged looks, then looked back at him "Nope." Great minds think alike. Or in this case even Edward's of different genders and personalities think the same.
Al sighed and followed the two to Milkberry Street where they both would begin their babysitting journey with Eddie.
~ Back at the Hotel ~
"You what?!" Roy screamed over the phone at a crying Edward who was really Sorry. Somehow, Nerdy had managed to get completely distracted with his duties of keeping Goofy under control. Both Jellico and Celeste were trying to help calm Goofy down. And this left Sorry to the phone. But out of pure guilt...he told Mustang everything...and I mean everything.
"You mean, you've been split into different personalities and your not coming back until you return yourself to normal?" he questioned.
"YES! (WAHHHH) I'm...I'm so sorry!" Sorry cried, almost completely dropping the phone.
It was really embarrassing, hearing Fullmetal whine like a complete child. "It's ok...um Sorry. Listen, I'll be in Fortune Town tomorrow. Just try not to let the real you know what's going on. Can you promise me that? No matter how upset you get just don't let them know that I'm coming until I actually get there. Oh and this is an order!"
"(Sniff) Y-yes Sir!"
"You may not be the real Fullmetal, but you still are him...um...if that makes any sense. We'll I talk to you soon."
"Ok, goodbye sir." Sorry hung up the phone and continued to watch Goofy run away from the others. He sighed and then retreated to the bed room so he could clean his face and rest for a bit.
Mustang would be here soon, and Sorry knew that he would help him and the others get back to where they belonged, being the real Edward Elric.
