-.-.-.-.-. story -.-.-.-.-.-.-
Shopping on one of the busier days of the week, on one of the busier streets in the city was not what Mustang had planned for the day, but it seemed to be what his lady friend wanted to do and he hadn't been fast enough to come up with an excuse to get out of it.
His boredom changed to mischievousness though, when he saw Fullmetal wandering the street alone. Today just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
Discretely navigating his date to each store to mirror his youngest subordinate's travel plans while remaining hidden just made it all the more fun. Ed had no idea. Though every once in a while the teen looked over his shoulder suspiciously, Mustang managed to remain hidden.
Mustang could understand Ed's nervousness, even if he was going to make fun of him later, the kid was going into every dress and lingerie store in sight. Winry must have a birthday coming up because Ed was clearly frazzled and he kept coming out empty handed.
The game was going to be over soon though, it'd been over two hours and they were almost at the end of the street. He managed to usher his date into the same store Ed had just disappeared into and once he followed her in he was confused to notice that Ed was nowhere in sight. His date wandered around and picked a few dresses to try on, then asked him to wait by the change rooms. He waved an acknowledgement and took a seat in the waiting area, distracted at losing his prey.
The disappointment didn't last long though, within the minute there he was. Or rather she was. Dressed in a beautiful blue summer dress. He stared as Ed moved about, twirling in the mirror. It took a moment for Ed to catch sight of him in the mirror's reflection. She froze. He continued to stare. He could see her anger bubbling quickly toward the surface and he still couldn't take his eyes off her.
Suddenly his date exited her change room, demanding Mustang's attention. Ed's anger evolved into ideas of sabotage and she took full advantage of the situation. This should keep him out of her hair and get him into trouble in one go.
She made sure to put on her most offended expression and waved her hands about in alarm as she howled at the girl, "Your date just tried to proposition me!"
The scene certainly agreed with that statement. Mustang was gobsmacked trying to come up with an excuse and Ed was clearly upset with him.
His date went straight to full blown domestic abuse and Ed started handing her long and heavy objects to hit him with. Mustang wasn't very good at defending himself, and he could not figure out where these blunt items were coming from.
Ed escaped in the scuffle having supplied (re: transmuted) enough weaponry to last about a half hour. She'd decided to wear the dress and shoes out of the shop and left her money on the counter. After all, the shopkeep had been concerned with some tricky customers and she hadn't wanted to disturb him.
Having bagged her regular clothes, she took off down the street. Hawkeye was going to kick her ass if she was late to the show again.

If anyone's got any ideas for improvement, i'd actually like to hear them. Or even some ideas for more stories. I'll see what i can come up with, but I think there's only a few more in the folder that need to be fixed up a bit. Then i'll probably be done with this.
