Mustang's Animal Week

Chapter 1: Animal Alchemist

Edward and Alphonse Elric:

New orders to watch and teach the 'Animal Alchemist.'

Even though she isn't part of the State Alchemists, teaching her is of the necessary. More new is to follow in my later report.

Lieutenant Hawkeye

Hawkeye sighed as she pulled out her typed report on the Elric Brothers and the new Alchemist. Mustang was on the phone and Black Hayate was scratching at the door, wanting to go to the bathroom. She got up and walked to the door. When she opened it the Animal Alchemist who was no older that 7 looked at her.

"Mustang!" Hawkeye called but he seemed to be having one of his 'important calls.' "MUSTANG!" "Yes?" Mustang asked. "She's here." "Oh, show her in and I'll tell her what she'll be doing." The young girl walked in and sat down. Apparently, Black Hayate didn't have to use the bathroom but just knew she was outside.

"Ok, um?" Mustang looked at Hawkeye. She rolled her eyes and said "Natsume." "Yes, Natsume. You're going to meet your mentors, Edward and Alphonse on a train. They will teach you more Alchemy in your field as best as they can. Armstrong!" Mustang called. The muscle man, Armstrong, came in. "Yes Colonel?" "I want you to take this small fry to Full metal on the train." "Yes sir," Armstrong answered.

"Coming Animal Alchemist?" Armstrong asked. He looked over to Natsume who was writing on a piece of paper. She handed the paper over to Hawkeye as a neatly folded note and walked over to Armstrong. They walked out and Hawkeye unfolded the note.

"It's for you Mustang," she said and handed the note to him. In neat writing it said 'I'll get you for calling me small fry. Natsume.' Mustang chuckled and didn't think much a threat.

Ed and Al were enjoying the ride back to Central but they didn't know that Armstrong had just train hopped on. They looked up at the back door slid open to see Armstrong there. "Edward Elric. Mustang had given you orders to teach an Alchemist in training." "Just now! He didn't tell me about it!" Ed exclaimed. "So who's this new alchemist?" Al asked.

Armstrong moved aside for the brothers to see Natsume. The girl had long bluish hair that was tied back into a braided pony-tail. Her skin was tan a bit and her eyes were a light pink and kind of blank. She wore a black Chinese style shirt with a golden dragon print and a pair of black jeans to match.

"She is the Animal Alchemist. Her name is Natsume. She was originally caught by the police for turning a guy into a cat and then refused to turn him back. He, of course, turned back into a human an hour later." Ed was laughing and Al laughed too. Natsume was kneeling and drawing the transmutation circle under Ed and stood up. She snapped her fingers and bang! "What the hell?" Ed yelled in his new mouse form. Al backed up and stopped laughing.

In a second later, Ed was human again, clothes and all. Armstrong had taken a seat and said "make sure you don't laugh again." "After that, no thanks," Ed replied. Speakers came on and like it was there luck "'This train it now owned by the Northern Alliance'" The person on the speaker said. "Oh god dammit. Not again," Ed said and sat back. He stood up followed by Al. Natsume had grabbed onto his red coat and let him lead the way.

The train rolled into Central and all state alchemists stood around the door. Edward, Alphonse, Armstrong, and Natsume walked out, a bunch of animals hog tied. With pops, the train hijackers reappearing and got dragged off to military jail. "Not bad for an apprentice," Ed complimented but looked and saw that she was drawing a circle around him again. "NO! That was a compliment!" he exclaimed and stopped her from finishing. "Well, Ed, Al, good job. You taught small fry here in a few seconds," Mustang said.

He had stepped into the circle that Natsume made as the crowd cleared. "Who are you calling small!" Ed yelled. "Not you, her," Mustang pointed from Ed to the kneeling Natsume who had finished the circle. "Aw, she wants revenge for earlier," Mustang said and Ed, Al, and Armstrong moved back. Natsume snapped her fingers and there was a loud bang!

"HEY!" Mustang yelled. Natsume was laughing at Mustang who was now a small black dog with pointed ears and puffy tail. "You're going to stay like that for one week," Natsume said through giggles. "Why me!" "You called me small fry. I said I'd get revenge," Natsume said and picked up Mustang. "Ed, we need to leave him with someone," she said. "How about a random person?" Ed asked. "HELL NO!" Mustang yelled. "How about Lieutenant Hawkeye?" Al asked. "No! Please! Spare me!" Mustang begged. Too late, Natsume and Ed had evil smirks on there faces and eyes shining.

"Lieutenant Hawkeye. Full Metal, Al, Armstrong, and Animal are here to see you." "Let them in." They walked in, Ed and Natsume grinning and Al and Armstrong, looking around. Natsume was carrying a small puppy. "I have Black Hayate," Hawkeye said. "Oh, this is Mustang." "You named it after Colonel Mustang?" Hawkeye asked. "No. It's Mustang," Ed answered, still grinning. "Yeah, right." "Speak Mustang or get thrown out," Natsume said. "Lieutenant! HELP!" the dog said.

"C-Colonel Mustang?" Hawkeye exclaimed. "Let me guess, she got you." "Yes! I'm stuck." "How long?" "A week!" Hawkeye laughed. "Really? How long?" "Oh, he's stuck for a week," Armstrong answered. Hawkeye looked back at Mustang and by his look he was serious.

"Bye! Hope Mustang won't be a problem!" Natsume yelled as she left. "Yeah! Remember! He needs to be fed and trained!" Ed yelled. "Bye Hawkeye!" Al yelled. Armstrong walked up and said "Sorry Colonel, you had it coming. Bye Lieutenant Hawkeye."

They all were gone. This was going to be a long week.

Lil' Ed: How was that? In the next chapter, Mustang talks to Black Hayate and moves into Hawkeye's home. Good luck Mustang. He'll need it.
