That phone call,
The one you wait for,
but never expect to come,
was phone today.
And that voice,
The voice you ache for,
But seldom expect to hear,
spoke today.
And that loneliness,
The loneliness you hurt from,
but always held inside,
Flies out like thin stones,
accross the water.
-Carole Gregory
Chapter Eight
Edward smiled at the sleeping face of her lover. She got up careful not to wake him up, and placed a soft kiss on to his cheek. She then got dressed and wrote a quick note. She got a blanket from off of Roy's bed and covered him up. Then she left as quietly as she came. It was nearly dawn, the thin strands of sunlight just nearly breaking the quiet darkness of the fading nightime. She climbed through her window without being caught. She yawned. She felt sore. She got undressed into her P.J's. She unlocked her door and cuddled into the wellcoming warmth of her bed.
Sunlight invaded Roy's living room. Roy turned towards the inter of the couch only to fall off of the couch tangled in a blanket that wasn't apost to be there. He rubed the sleep out of his eyes and looked onto the coffie table to see a note on it. Written on the note with carefull hand writing was.
Roy,
I'm sorry that I had to leave. But Al would kill me if he didn't find me in my bed,
when he wakes up. I will see you later in the office. Had a great time last night.
Love you,
Ed.
Roy smiled at the letter. Al wouldn't kill you, He'd kill me. Roy thought as he quickly got dressed into his military uniform. He looked at the clock. wow, good thing I woke up. Roy though as he ran out of his house. The time was 8:49 a.m. The daylight lite up the neighborhood nicely as Roy drove to work. He parked the car in the military parking lot. Got out and ran into the office with one minute to spare. Roy sat down into his comfortable chair and started cheerfully signing papers. Hawkeye knew what happened for sure. Roy scored. When Roy had a good night, He would cheerful do the paper work.
Riza sighed fustratedly. It would have only happened sooner or later. She thought as she brought in more paper work for the overly cheerful Colonel, who gladly accecpted it. Havoc smirked, hee hee Ed's gonna be in trouble.
Edward yawned as she woke up and rubs the remaining sleep out of her eyes. She looked at the clock, 10:59 A.M. Damn I still can sleep. Edward laied back down only to hear a knock at her door. "yes?" She says irritated. Winry looked in and smiled. "Well good morning! I was hoping that you'd get caught sneaking in again. " Edward glared at Winry. "You knew?" Winry started laughing, "Ed, you just busted yourself!" Edward glared at Winry, "Did Al hear that?" Winry shook her head. "Good" Edward got up from the bed and streached. She was still a little sore, but nothing she couldn't handle. Winry could tell that Ed was walking a little differently, her eyes widen and a smirk enlarged on her face. "Edddd..." Winry called out, entered the room fully, closed the door. "You did it, didn't you!" Winry accused Ed.
Edward turned and stared at the girl. "I did what?" Winry pulled out her wrench from her belt and pulled an evil smirk on her face. "You know, You did you do it?" Edward swollowed hard. I'm am so fucked. "Ummmm, Will you hit me if I say 'yes' ? " Edward said backing away from the evil girl. Winry started laughing insanely. Edward thought for a second. Oh hell she is not. Edward latched on to the taller blonde. "Please don't tell Al! He'll kill Roy!" Winry thought she was going to fall over laughing. "You are so dead! " She managed to say before she did fall down with Ed begging not for her to tell Al.
"Why shouldn't I?" Winry said when she was finally able to get up. "Because you don't wanna see me get hurt." Edward whined clinging onto her friend's legs. "You've only been a girl for a month and a half! and you already done it!" Winry scolded and then thought about something. Edward looked up at her with begging eyes. "PLEASE! DON'T TELL!" Edward whined only to have her brother knock on the door. "Winry, Ed? Is everything okay?" Alphonse's innocent voice came through the door. Edward quickly clamed a hand over Winry's mouth. "Yes! Everything is fine!" Edward said as cheerfully as possible.
Roy finished his paperwork early and he was bored. He wanted to cuddle with his light haired and very short love. Everyone in the office was trying to finish his or her paper work. Roy groaned as he looked at the clock. Three more hours... He sighed and streched. When is Ed coming? Roy laid his head on his desk. Then he heard several clanks coming towards the office. Shit. Not again! Roy quickly hid in his closet. "Colonel?" He heard the innocent voice, he was so scared of. "Maybe he's out to lunch, Ed." He heard them leave his office and he sighed. Great. Now Ed has an excort. A very scary one... Roy exited his closet and sat back down on at his desk.
The days following went mostly the same. Edward would sneak off to see the Colonel. They would go out some where to eat sometimes. Edward loved it when they went back to the colonels how to make 'Love'. But then something happened.
The lab was in a uproar. Aparentaly, the military had found their base yet again. They moved hurriedly to move everything. They got everything into the 'unusable' lab that was located at the edge of Central. Far away from there 'target'. The leaders of the Lab was pissed, no beyond pissed. The boss glared at his fellow members. "How did they find out this time?" The man yelled. The group looked down. Three of the members were missing. They were spying on Edward Elirc.
A women stood up and with a glaring frown said. "There was an insider. They reported us the minute they found us out, Sir." The boss nodded and the women sat back down. "So how is the Target?" A man stood up with several papers. "Well sir. We did find out that The target is fully women now. Because well the Target is..."
Morning is
A new sheet of paper,
For you to write on.
What ever you wanted to say,
All day,
until night,
folds it up
and flies it away.
The bright words and the dark words,
are gond,
until dawn,
And a new day,
To write on.
