Okay I know I gave a certain person a sneak peak of the next chapter which would be this one but I forgot I wanted to do something for Halloween when I was voice acting and I remembered a joke Mustang had and I remembered I wanted to have a Halloween Party at the military. (For Damian the chapter after this will be what I told you about.) so during this chapter I suggest you don't have anything in your mouth if you are eating chips or having a drink because you might die at what some of the costumes are.
Chapter Nine: Halloween Surprises
One day after work Roy headed to Sami's house after work after knowing that she had the day off and wasn't spending it with James because James had went back to New Ishbal for a couple of days to visit his mother who had a small flu but James wanted to go and take care of her.
When Roy approached Sami's door with a bag in his hands he was wondering what kind of reaction he was going to get from his daughter when he told her his plan of Ed's Halloween costume for the Halloween party General Haruko, the furher's right hand man decided to have to give the soldiers a day to have a little fun with each other and their families.
He knocked on the door and Sami opened it wearing an apron that said 'peanut butter jelly time children so don't bother me or get shot' in small letters that Elysia made as an joke like her father kept giving Roy things that had to do with fire like a fire-station pajamas.
"Why are you wearing an apron Sami?" Roy asked.
"What no hello dad?" Sami laughed. "I'm making a cake because I just want to have a cake and to have something to do. And I don't want chocolate all over my clothes so I'm wearing an apron. Come on in I'm just putting on the frosting and you can take a piece home for you guys." Sami said.
"Thanks, the kids would love that I know that for a fact." Roy said. "Hey, do you think your bras are big enough for your mother."
"Excuse me?"
"I have a joke I want to play on Ed and I want to see if he bites for his Halloween costume."
"What are you planning?"
"Do you know of a new game named Super Mario Bros?" Roy asked.
"Yeah, Elysia and Haru play that on their breaks on their game boys. Why?" (we'll pretend that Nintendo is the only video game producers at this time and the gameboy are the very first system released instead of the Nintendo home system because I can do that.)
"I want to try to get Ed to be Princess Peach." Roy said.
"Are you friggin kidding me?" Sami laughed. "I think it'll work but I have a few resizeable bras, they hook where they need to in order to fit just right. I'll get you one of them." Sami added heading upstairs to her room and came back with a white bra and Roy stuck it into his bag.
"So Dad, are you going to be the fat plumber aka Mario?"
"Yeah I am. I'm kinda hoping that Al will be Luigi. It'll be kinda fun if the whole family is going to be the same thing."
"I took Kairi to get our Halloween costumes the other day. She's going to be a black cat so you got her bad luck. I'm going to be a vampire."
"Are you going to suck your boyfriends blood?" Roy laughed "Aw man. Oh well…I wonder if I can get Drew to be toadstool."
"That retarded mushroom man at the end of the castles that annoy you because at the end he says "Sorry Mario but our princess is in another castle?" Come on Dad, don't torture your only son."
"Maybe your right. I don't know. We got a week left anyways. Unless Ed took him to get his costume today. He wasn't home when I called at lunch to tell him I was heading here after work to pick something up."
"Either that or he was in the back yard hanging out or taking a nap."
"Al would've picked up because Drew and Kairi would've been alone. Even though Drew and Kairi are five and seven years old Ed doesn't like to nap if they're going to be alone or aren't down for naps of their own."
"Papa is always protective like that." Sami added as she finished putting half of the cake into a container for Roy to carry home. "Did you pick up a Luigi costume for Uncle yet?"
"No, I want to ask him first before I get him one but I know where I can get it." Roy said.
"ah ha." Sami said and she followed her father to the door. "If you want me too I'll come over later and hang out."
"That would be nice." Roy said. "Still got some house work to do?"
"Yeah I want to vaccume a bit. However much I hate it. The vaccume is a pain to carry upstairs." Sami complained.
"I hear you. Ed complains all the time so he just transmutes the vaccume and brings it upstairs."
"Yeah, I'll see you later Dad."
"Later."
The week after it was the day of the Halloween party and everyone was getting their costumes on at Ed's house and that's when Roy approached Ed and told him to put on the costume in the bag and when Ed headed into their bedroom and pulled out the bra….well… you'll see
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ROY MUSTANG!!" Ed shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I think Brother found the dress." Al laughed as he jumped inside his armor and so he could see he was wearing platform shoes to peak out of the armor that he shrunk a little bit using alchemy so instead of having a seven foot tall suit of armor Al was now a five and a half tall suit of armor but was still taller than Ed.
Just then Ed came down the stairs with the bra in his hand and looked towards Roy.
"ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME!!" Ed asked.
"Hell no Ed. Calm down." Roy said wearing his Mario costume and helped Drew into his costume which would be Ed when he was in the military and a twelve year old immature boy. (Ed: hey! I'll get you Luna!) (Me: You're at my mercy so I can get rid of you at any time or bring the homunculi back into this) (Ed: I'm good)
"Yeah Papa that's part of your Halloween Costume."
"What do you mean Halloween costume?" Ed asked in tears.
"Papa. Did you go further than the bra?" Sami asked.
"Um…no." Ed said as he started to blush.
"What is Dad wearing?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know Mario?" Al asked shocked. "Bookworm."
"Uncle, I wouldn't be talking you are a bookworm too." Sami said.
"Mario is a new game that is taking over the military right now." Al said. "Mario is the main character and he wanted you to be the heroine in distress named Peach."
"Where'd he get the bra from?"
"Me." Sami said.
"Ew, no offense honey but I'm not wearing one of my daughter's bras."
"I didn't wear that one I took it out of the package when I gave it to Dad." Sami assured as she finished putting in her vampire teeth.
"Seriously?" Ed asked.
"Please wear the costume Ed?" Roy whinned with puppy eyes.
"Why a bra though?" Ed asked obviously not letting this go.
"You need boobs." Roy laughed.
"I ALREADY HAVE FEMALE PARTS BECAUSE OF THE HUMAN TRANSMUATION! I DON'T NEED BOOBS!"
"I'm taking Drew upstairs. He's to young to hear this conversation." Sami sighed." Come on Drew, I'll braid your hair so you'll look like Papa." Sami added and Kairi followed so she could watch and also get her hair done so she can put her black wig on for her black cat costume.
"I'd follow them but I no longer fit through most doors." Al laughed. "Besides, if I didn't know Ed was sober I'd think I'd put this in my drunk scale because I could." Al thought with a smile since no one could no longer see Al's face he got away with the evil smirk he wore too.
After much complaining from Ed, Roy convinced Ed to wear the outfit to the party and he did actually stuff the bra and even wore a little crown and everything. Roy had even found pink high heel shoes that matched the dress that would fit Edward knowing the conversion chart off hand of men shoes to girls shoes.
Ed came downstairs blushing madly since at their wedding the two agreed to both wear tuxiedos instead of having Ed wear a dress because he was slightly embrassed and Roy didn't want Ed embrassed on the best day of their lives minus the day Sami and Drew were born.
"Papa…"Sami started
"Shut it Sami." Ed said.
"What I was going to say you look good in a dress."
"EXACTLY! No offense on you or Kairi but I don't want to be in a dress. But I want Roy to be happy." Ed said messing with the tarra on his head.
"Sorry Papa." Sami offered.
"Where's Alphonse."
"I'm right here!" Al said standing up and Ed was shocked. "Something wrong Brother?"
"No, you just move the same way you did when you were just a soul. It's kinda frighting."
"Uncle! Can I wrap you in toilet paper! You can be an armor mummy!" Drew said.
"I'll get some toliet paper." Roy sighed and he walked to the closet and brought out a huge amount of toliet paper while Kairi, Sami, and Drew quickly used alchemy to wrap Al up in toliet paper. "Alright, are we all set to go?" Roy asked.
"Yep. We're all good."
"You know Al, it's going to suck for you, if you have to go to the bathroom while we're at the party you can't get out now because of the toliet paper blocking your entrance way." Ed laughed.
"Well if you got to go to the bathroom Brother you can choose whiether or not you want to go in the woman's bathroom or if you want to go in the mens room." Al countered.
"Touche'." Ed replied and Sami laughed. "I had about enough out of you Sami Rose." Ed growled.
"Oh come on Dad I find this rather amusing." Sami laughed.
"exactly it's not amusing." Ed said as they headed towards the garrage and got into the car and headed towards headquarters.
As they walked into the ballroom where the party was going to be held they saw Elysia and Haru dressed up as an Egyptain Pharaoh and queen. (Why because they can lol) and they walked up to them.
"Wow, Mr. Mustang, you actually got Edward to wear that costume?" Haru asked and Ed blushed automatically. "Something wrong?"
"He's embrassed." Drew said in a sing-song voice.
"Why? You look good Mr. Elric." Elysia said.
"That's just it. I want to look like a man not girl. No offense." Ed said.
"I understand. It's an moral thing." Elysia smiled.
"Don't worry about it Ed." Haru added. "Just have fun. Same with the others."
"Thanks Haru." Roy said and he left to get the kids some snacks since they skipped lunch in order to get their costumes on and Hughes was at the snack table talking to a couple of higher ups.
"Mario brothers? Seriously?" Hughes asked.
"Yeah, did you bring your camera?"
"Of course I did. I always have a camera why?"
"Turn the flash off and take a picture of Ed. I want to keep a picture of his cosutme in my wallet. He's to cute to pass up like this. Shame it's only for one day." Roy said.
"What's he dressed as?"
"My Bride." Roy said.
"No, way you got him to dress up as Peach? How'd the hell you'd pull that off?"
"Puppy eyes. Drew apparently got it from me." Roy smirked.
"Nice dude. Alright, I'll get you your picture by the end of the night I promise. Where's Al?"
"Look at the past. He's the suit of armor over there wrapped in toliet paper."
"Toliet paper?"
"Drew wanted him to be a mummy instead of a knight as Al called it."
"The things Al does for his family." Hughes laughed. "So, did Sami make fun of Ed?"
"No but Al took over for that. He told ed that if he wanted to he could use the girls rest room in order to use the bathroom."
"Alphonse certainly isn't as innocent as we think he is is he?"
"Not all the time no. I'm going to bring these snacks back. See you later sirs." Roy dismissed himself and brought a couple of muffins to Drew and Kairi and gave them to the kids and they sat down at a table to eat their muffins that were covered in spider sprinkles and colored with orange frosting.
Halloween music was playing for a while and the kids talked to other children who were also at the party because of their parents were in the military when suddenly a hard core version of Mario brothers were playing.
"ROY I KNOW YOU DID THIS!" Ed shouted.
"Honestly no I didn't. Do you want to dance anyways my handsome princess."
"That's sexist Roy, you can't use handsome with princess." Ed said and shuddered. "That screams transsexual." (not against that either btw it just kinda fit sorry for offending if I did.)
"That's real nice brother." Al laughed. "Go ahead and dance. You can't let it get to you." Al said.
"Fine, come on Roy." Ed said and Roy led him onto the dance floor and Hughes saw this as an opportunity to take the picture for Roy and headed into the dance floor with his camera searching for a perfect angle to get a shot of the usually happy couple on the dance floor.
Finally while the underground theme played Ed and Roy got extremely close dispite it still being a semi upbeat song so Hughes quickly took a picture of the couple and then headed over to his daughter to show her and Sami the picture while the two were talking about meeting up to pick out a wedding dress and bridesmade dress with Riza later in the next couple of weeks.
The couple from there after the Mario themed dance was over had a good time and they had a couple glasses of wine but not enough to get drunk even though Sami would drive them back home and finally at the end of the party the furher approached a microphone
"Time to announce the results of the Halloween costume contest. This contest was conducted in complete secrecy and was judged by a couple of your suprior officers as well as me." Furher said. "In third place is Colonel Sami Rose Mustang because of the detail put into her costume. Second place goes to the man dressed up as Chuck Noris. And Finally the first place winners. The Mario couple General Roy Mustang and Ex Colonel Edward Elric. Congraduations to those who were announced in second and third place." The furher said and he left the stage and it was quiet….well until…
"THIS PLACE IS FRIGGIN RIGGED!!" Ed shouted
I know this chapter might've sucked but oh well it's out, I'm happy with it, and I know that I gave myself a few laughes for writing this in one day instead of taking a week to write a chapter in my notebook and then typing it up later. I just plane out wrote it on my mom's laptop so I could update it today so I could focus on the other chapter.
See you next chapter. OH! I also don't own Mario brothers.
