Chapter 2: Work
Roy waited patiently with his hands in his pockets on the sidewalk while Gabriella was acting giddy and joyful… Ah yes, the youthful.
At the farthest part on the street, Roy could see their ride coming. "Here he comes…" He announced. Gabriella jumped up and down cheering. "Hooray! We're going to daddy's work! We're going to daddy's work!" She sang happily.
Roy smiled. He never knew being a parent changed him so much.
Suddenly, the car stopped right in front of the two. Havoc jumped out and opened the door for them. "Hop on.." He said saluting with one hand and a cig in another. Roy nodded and went into the car. Gabriella tugged on Havoc's shirt. "Can I go in the front and drive with you Uncle John?"
John looked at Roy over his shoulder waiting for any sign of reply.
Roy nodded.
"You're dad says it's okay.." Havoc said to Gabriella.
"Yaaay!!!"
Havoc opened the door for Gabriella to sit at the front. She moved her short and scrawny legs to sit on the seat. Once she got settled, she put on her seatbelt.
"Alright, let's go…" Havoc shut the door and went in his driver's seat and drove away.
"Vrroooom!! Vroooom!!!" Gabriella said acting like she was at the driving wheel. John laughed. "Boy, you're kid's something else, isn't she?"
"Yeah.. one and only.." Roy replied.
"You gotta give me girl tips one day…" Havoc said.
Roy laughed.
It was eerily quiet in Roy's office. Roy, Riza, and Havoc were doing paperwork while Gabriella was drawing some pictures with her crayola crayons.
Then, Bradley came in with his eye patch and that never-ending smile. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and saluted him. Even Gabriella stood and saluted.
Bradley couldn't resist to laugh. "Stand down.." He said with a slight nod. Everyone put their hands down but Gabriella was still saluting. "Gabe, when he says 'Stand down' you can stop saluting.." Havoc whispered in Gabe's ear. "Oh.." She sat back down and continued to color.
"You're daughter will become a fine military member someday Kernal and First Lietenant…" Said Fuhrer.
"Thank you, sir," They both said in unison.
"Anyway, sir, is their anything you need..?" Roy said out of the blue.
"I just came to say that our top alchemist students are ready for their final test… if you know what I mean…"
"Yes, sir," Roy said saluting.
Bradley nodded. "Very well then… I will meet you in 1800 hours in the field…" He left the office leaving everyone quiet.
"Well.." Roy said breaking the silence. "I better get going now…" Roy said walking towards the exit.
"Daddy, where are you going?" Gabriella said looking up from her drawing.
"Well—"
"Daddy is going to do some personal business…" Riza explained to Gabriella. She then turned to Roy and smiled. "Isn't that right..?"
"Right.." Roy said. "And are you—"
"And yes.. I will finish the paperwork.." Riza finished his comment.
"You're too perfect," He then walked out waving behind his back and closed the door.
It was quiet, again.
"Sooo…" Havoc said while filling out some forms. "What do you want to be when you grow up, Gabey?"
"I wanna be an Alchemist, like Daddy!" Gabriella said proudly.
"She loves her father very much.." Riza said to Havoc. "Roy and I would die if anything would happen to her.."
"I could tell.." John said switching his cig on the other side of his mouth.
Dog of the military, eh? She has no idea what she's talking about… John thought to himself.
"Hellooo everybody!" Armstrong said on the microphone. "Welcome to the battle arena where our top military student will perform her last test!!! She must defeat the one.. and only.. FLAME ALCHEMIST!!"
The crowd went wild when hearing Roy's name, while he adjusted his gloves acting calm, cool, and collective.
"Wow… Roy really enjoys being in the spotlight…" Riza said.
"GO DADDY, GO!!!" Gabriella said cheering. Roy waved towards them.
"YAY!! DADDY WAVED TO US!!!" Gabriella said excitingly.
"If the student manages to defeat The Flame Alchemist, she will become one of the official lieutenants!!!" Armstrong ripped his shirt off and it landed somewhere randomly in the crowd and started to do some poses.
"I still can't believe we call him 'lieutenant"…." Farman muttered.
"Oh well.." Maria said with a slight smile on her face.
Fuhrer just smiled.
"Anyway, let the battle commence!!!!!" Armstrong finally said.
The crowd cheered. Roy stood in his remaining spot ready to scan her every move. "Think you can beat me?" Roy said.
"You bet!" She put her two hands on the ground and created a giant metal rod without a transmutation circle.
"Well, whaddya know…" Roy said looking at her creation amusingly.
"Amazing.. she combined all the metal particles in the dirt to make a rod.." Fury said in amazement. "She could be a tough one.."
The student lunged towards Roy swinging her rod at him. Roy ducked down to avoid her horizantal swing. Then she did an overhead swing at Roy. With his darn-good reflexes, he caught the metal rod.
"DADDY! YOU COULD DO IT!!!" Gabriella said cheering from across the arena.
"You hear that? That's my daughter cheering for me.." Roy said almost in a whisper trying to hold the rod.
"Enough talk… We must fight!" The Student replied coldly like a robot.
"Whatever you say.." Roy smirked. He managed to push the student a few yards away from him. Then, he snapped his fingers letting a giant blaze of fire shooting directly at the student. The student started to block the infernal blaze with her rod.
"Is that all you can do..?" She said.
"You'll see…"
Suddenly, the rod started glowing red and her hands started steaming. "AAAAAAHHH!!!" She immediately dropped her melting metal rod on he ground. She franticly tried to cool down her fingers.
Roy started running towards the student. "It's not finished yet.." He then dashed past her as he punched her in the stomach. As soon as stopped, seconds later, the student fell to the ground.
The crowd went wild.
"Yay! Go, daddy, GO!!" Gabriella cheered over and over. Riza smiled.
Roy looked around and smiled. I wonder if I'll get a promotion from this….
