Mini story: Prides Prank

It was a slow, rainy day. The three teens couldn't make any plains or fool around out in the yard with Den again today.

Alphonse was taking a cat nap as Winry tidied up the house for something to do. Both of those options was boring to Pride. He's finished looking through all their photo albums, the only thing for Pride to do was stare out the window, filled to the rim with boredom.

"Hey." Winry's voice was heard as she popped her head around the corner. "Could he help me? If you're not busy."

Yah… like staring out the window almost brain dead was lot of hard work already… "Umm… Ok." Of course, he agreed.

"We need to wash the dishes; it goes faster with two people." The sin nodded. "I wash? You dry?" a second time, no verbal response just a nod. "Ok…"

The sin waited with a towel as Winry washed the first cup, left it under the water to rinse and passed it on to him. They repeated the task a few more times before Winry got an idea. Even though he was a 'monster', Pride didn't give Winry any reason to fear him so a small joke won't hurt. She'd splash a little water in his face and see how he'd react.

She cupped the water in her hands and threw in up in his direction.

Pride blinked a few times and shook off the water like a dog. "Hee, hee, got you!" But it wasn't as funny as she thought. He stared at her for a second then continued with what he was doing. There was no reaction, no threat for revenge or counter strike. Pranking him was no fun… if it was Ed 'Ed' her ear drums would be ringing with rants or something.

When the task was complete they walked out of the kitchen into the living room where they found Alphonse had awaken. "Oh hi Pride, hi Win…ry?"

"What?" She noticed Al started laughing. "WHAT?"

"Umm… how long are you going to walk around with soap on her head?"

"What? Soap?" Winry reached up to see what Al was talking about. It just so happened that there was suds on her head. "Hey. It was you!" She spun around and pointed at Pride.

The Ed-look-alike turned to his left, then to his right. "Me…?" The faceless expression made it so much funnier, Al laughed even more.

"Mmmmm! Excuse me, I got to now rinse it out."

"Hahahaha! Thanks Pride, I needed something to walk me up." Al said while Pride tried to keep his tiny fits of laugher hidden behind his hand.
