Like always: The fast update is only because of all my lovely readers and reviewers^^
I almost didn't have time to write today. . . (I blame the homework)
Anyway, onto the story!
I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are very OOC.
Disclaimer: I can't draw, so how can I possible own FMA? But I do own Angel, Christian and Alexander!^^
Chapter 14
Thoughts
Angel sat leaned into the wall behind them as the little group of seven people listened to the two Generals' conversation over the radio. They had linked it together with a microphone inside the General's office, where they had their talk. The whole thing was a plot to get General Raven to reveal what kind of plans Central High Command was planning. They already knew the homunculi were planning on turning the entire country into a Philosopher's Stone, using the underground-tunnel as the lines for it, but there had to be something more in the picture.
The girl didn't really care to listen; she already knew what was happening on the other side of the line.
Instead, she planned out her plan for Edward and Winry once the other girl got there. The girl grinned. They weren't going to understand what had hit them.
Christian had a hard time trying to keep track on the conversation they listened to over the radio. He was well informed of the other boy's feelings toward his friend. What if Alexander reached her first? What if she preferred that boy instead of him? Maybe the bracelet hadn't been enough? He had to do something before he lost her.
Alexander too had problems listening to the radio. He was worried about how the girl liked best of the two boys she usually hang out with. He hadn't been the best friend down in the tunnel when she had gotten scared. Maybe something would have happened if he had comforted her instead of asking if she was scared of the shadows? He had to do something before he lost her.
They heard the door close on the other side of the line, and Edward, Alphonse, Buccaneer, Falman, Christian, Alexander and Angel got up from the floor. They had to return to the corridors before someone noticed that they were gone.
Edward transmuted some ropes out of the floor - the brothers were supposed to be bound after all – and left it to Falman to bind them. The man did as he was told, pulling with everything he had to tighten the ropes, getting everyone except from Edward to laugh.

When they came down to the corridor again from the hidden place they had used, Angel couldn't help but wonder why she was being pulled into all of this mess. All she wanted was to play matchmaker and go home.
And poor Christian and Alexander that were dragged into everything because of her. Maybe she should ask them to leave her problems to herself? So that they didn't get hurt.
Christian could easily see that the girl walking beside him was lost in thoughts. He smiled softly before he looked at the path in front of them, only to see two persons coming up toward them. He recognized one of them as Miles, and the other as a former State Alchemist from Central.
The only thing that felt into his head was to get Angel away before they were seen by the man.
"I just remembered we had to go somewhere. You coming, Angel? Alexander?" he said quickly, adding the other boy's name just so that no one would think it was kind of weird. Before anyone could get the chance to answer, the boy had grabbed the girl's arm and dragged her after him out of the corridor and into another one, closely followed by Alexander.
"Sorry, Angel. Central-problems," Christian explained once they stopped. Angel blinked a couple of times, before her mind remembered the next scene from the manga.
"I didn't get to see Edward get angry. . ." she muttered sadly, her eyes locked on the floor, before they looked up again at the two boys in front of her.
"Could any of you two call him 'small' for me the next time we catch up with him?" her eyes shined as she talked. Some of her favorite moments from the manga were when Edward flipped out, and it would be great to see it in real life.
The boys stared at her for a long time, before Alexander opened his mouth;
"What will happen if we do that?" Angel grinned.
"Edward would flip out. He hates being called small. But of course, I don't really think it is a really smart move, so just forget that I asked, okay?" the girl waved before she disappeared down the corridor, heading toward the room she used as her own.
The two boys looked at each other, both with the same look in their faces.
Angel would love to see the short blonde flip out? Did that mean she would love the person who got him to flip out just for her?
The competition had started.
