Hey! It's Halloween here in the UK and so I decided to write this (attempted) cute chapter!

Summary: Ed always loved Trick or Treating…

Disclaimer: I'm poor; I do NOT own Fullmetal Alchemist.

Enjoy!

------------

I love Halloween… Ed thought as he pulled his vampire cap on. It's a great time to just relax…

Looking at the clock, the young Alchemist smiled. 7:30. Got loads of time!

With one last costume check, Ed grabbed his candy bag and headed out the door, already planning his root around the city.

------------

Roy Mustang let out a frustrated sigh as he glared menacingly at the pile of papers that had somehow made their way onto his desk. 8:00 and I'm still here…

Picking up his pen, the Colonel grabbed the first paper and began to sign it when he caught the sound of children running and shouting in the streets outside Headquarters.

Frowning, the dark haired man stood and went to his window. Seeing that there were many groups of children, all dressed in some kind of 'scary' costume, running around the streets and going from door to door collecting candy, Roy was thankful that he was stuck inside his office.

Settling back into his chair and picking up his pen to sign the next paper, Roy was once again interrupted by a swift knock on his door.

"Come in." He said absently, not bothering to look up.

The door opened with such force that it hit the wall with a loud bang. Roy sighed. "What is it now, Fullmetal?"

Edward stomped into the office and flopped on the sofa in a huff, making Roy look up from his oh-so-loving paperwork.

"Shouldn't you be outside?" Roy asked, as Edward removed his false vampire teeth. "Y'know, trick or treating, terrorising little kids."

At this Ed shot him a scowl.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmph." Ed replied.

Roy raised an eyebrow. "Care to elaborate?"

"I can't." Ed huffed.

"You can't what?" Roy inquired, inwardly liking the small distraction from working but also hating that it was Edward in a bad mood.

"I can't go trick or treating."

"Why?" You keep tripping over your cap? Roy was tempted to add but restrained from doing so.

"The police keep stopping me and telling me that I'm not allowed out without a parent or responsible adult." Ed sounded very annoyed and Roy knew why and so, not wanting to irritate the blonde further nor loose his hearing, the man kept quiet about it.

"And you came here because…?" He asked instead.

Ed shrugged. "Because I don't have a responsible adult to go with me." He replied. "And if I can't have fun then neither can you." He added with a frown aimed at his superior.

Roy sighed for the third time in just ten minutes. Why? Why dose he always have to bug me-? Then he was struck with an idea. Wait! If he's here because he needs someone to come out with him and I'm stuck in here, then maybe… A grin spread across his face.

"Fullmetal?" Roy said turning to his subordinate, grin still in place.

"What?" Edward asked, oblivious.

"I don't really want to be stuck in here any more than you do."

"Hmph. So?"

"So," Roy said standing. "You said you need an adult to come out with you, so… why don't I come with you?"

Ed blinked. "…What?" He stared at him in disbelief.

"If I come with you on your candy hunt, then I get out of here and you don't get stopped by the police." Roy explained. "We both win."

Ed blinked again. He then opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Roy smirked. I love it when he's speechless…

"So?" The older Alchemist asked, stepping out from behind his desk. "Are we going or not?"

Ed shook himself out of his shocked daze. "Um… yeah, Ok." He replied slowly. He wasn't sure whether he could trust the Colonel yet.

Roy smiled. "Good." He said cheerfully, as he grabbed his coat and made his way to the door.

Seeing the genuinely cheerful smile on the Colonel's face, all mistrust was soon forgotten and Edward was on his feet, candy bag in hand and heading towards the door.

Roy opened the door and allowed the boy to pass. As the he did so, Ed grinned up at the man. "Thanks." He said before putting his fangs in and running towards the main door.

This is going to be a very interesting night. Roy thought as he closed his office door and followed the overly happy blonde out of the building. Oh, yes. Very interesting…

I'm sorry! I couldn't resist! It is now 20 minutes past midnight but oh well! Anyway, Happy Halloween to all of the UK Risembool Rangers!
