AN: Well hello everybody! Didga miss me? I'm really happy right now, can you tell? I actually have more than my estimated ten reviews! I really didn't think people would read this. I wonder if I'll ever get over 100? Hm…probably not. Though I can still hope!
Animefreak-Shinobi- Chihuahua, ooooohhh that's how you spell it, thank you! To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I put the pets in there, well I know why I put Meg in there, she's by best friend. (and if I didn't shed threaten me with a spork ;;) I have pretty much the basic outline planned, and the pets do play a evil little part in it. But everything that happens in between the major scenes is pretty much random things. Its enjoyable to read? Wow, I never knew. I cant judge my own work because I know what its gonna say and I read it to fast. Thank you!
Whitneyw- I told you to lay off the sugar. And if you wont, then at least give me some of the doughnuts! Please?

Well, last time the group chose teams as follows: on Roy's team, there's Hughes and Riza, on Ed's team, there's Winry and Al, and poor Havoc is the odd man out, meaning if he finds it, both Roy and Ed will have to wear the dog suits. They realized that the day was actually a holiday and all went to do their separate things.
Chapter 7-
Dog-gonit!
"Hurry along Hayate." Riza said as she walked toward the library. She was forced to bring both her pets along with her because of her neighbors.
Insert flashback
Riza was walking out of her home that morning when.
"Young lady! Your pets are most despicable! They wouldn't stop that racket they were making yesterday! Why, that would have woke the dead! Either you get rid of those monsters or take them with you to where ever you work!"
Riza turned around to see who was verbally attacking her. It was a frail little woman waving her cane all willy-nilly.
"You know some people need naps! My husband can't sleep if those despicable animals don't shut up!"
Riza had tried to calm the old woman down but she just wouldn't stop ranting. Finally she stopped when Riza agreed she'd take the 'horrid little buggers' with her.
End flashback
Riza sighed as she walked up the stairs holding Kaiya and keeping an eye on Hayate. No one else was here yet. No small wonder as the library wasn't even open. She sat down on the steps and put Kaiya beside her. Hayate started running up and down the stairs in the puppy fashion while Kaiya just watched, planning her next move.
Riza was so in thought about this whole bet thing she didn't even notice when Hughes sat down next to her.
"Why did you bring your pets?"
Riza jumped away from Hughes, causing him to throw his head back and laugh. Riza put her hand over her heart and breathed deeply before replying, "My neighbor was complaining about the noise and would have probably hit me with her cane if I hadn't promised to take them with me to work." This explanation only made Hughes laugh all the more.
Havoc walked up about that time and looked at them weird. He only had a moment to look before he felt a tugging on his pant-leg. He looked down to discover his pant-leg has become Black Hayate's new chew toy.
"Hey, uh, stop it, ug, get off." Havoc grunted as he tried to shake the dog off. Hayate, though, had other plans.
Riza was currently staring at Hughes who was making bad jokes about her earlier explanation. She caught sight of Havoc after one of his curses. "Black Hayate! Stop it" she cried while standing up to retrieve her dog.
"Thank you Riza." Havoc said as they sat back down to Hughes' laughter. Hughes was bent over double because the way Havoc had been jumping around.
"Ha ha ha! What do you call that kind of dancing? The chew-step! Ha ha ha! Or maybe dog dancing!" He was now laughing at his own jokes.
Havoc gave him a look that said, 'Er…ok…' before he asked Riza, "Why did you bring your dog, and cat?" he added the last part when Kaiya jumped in his lap and demanded to be petted.
Hughes's head shot up and his glasses where aglow. "She brought them because her neighbor, an frail little old lady, threatened her with a cane!" he started to laugh again. He laughs a lot don't he?
Havoc chuckled and asked Riza, "Really?" Riza nodded.
"Well that explains why I find your dog latched to my leg."
All three of them turned to see a very annoyed Ed with a black dog dangling in the air, attached to his leg. Winry and Al were in the background bent double with laughter from Ed's expression and soon Hughes and Havoc had joined them.
"Would you ever be so kind to remove this tick from my leg?" Ed said in a very, very annoyed tone. He had his hands in his pockets and the leg that Hayate had attached himself to was raised in the air.
Riza got up and pried Hayate off his second victim while saying a curt "Sorry" to Ed. She turned around and stared.
Everyone was still laughing until they saw Riza and Ed staring at something. They all looked to see what had caught their attention and stared as well.
It was Roy…with a dog sitting on his head. He was looking around at everybody for a couple of minutes until he said, "What?"
"There's a dog on your head." Hughes said, looking up at him.
"So?" Roy said with a shrug.
"Sir, why is a dog on your head?" Riza asked, still staring at the little dog that looked like it was having the time of its life perched on Roy's head.
"I found yesterday and she won't let me leave her at home." Roy explained,
"Alright, but that doesn't explain why she's on your head." Riza said.
Roy sighed and said, "When I tried to leave this morning, she wouldn't stop barking and whining so I picked her up. Then she wiggled and wiggled until she indeed up on my head, and when I tried to get her off, she bit me." At the last part, he raised his hand to reveal a tear in the fabric.
"We have two people that can't help us because pets aren't allowed in the library. So, what do we do now." Havoc said as he stood up and since Kaiya was in his lap, she was forced to the ground. She did not like that at all.
Hughes has stood up with Havoc, and he just got an idea. "Wait here everyone, and I'll persuade the librarian to let them in!" he said as he took one of those weird poses.
"Hughes, how are you going to do that if the librarian hates you?" Riza said.
Hughes came out of his pose and smirked, "Just wait and watch!"
They all watched as Hughes ran up the stairs and into the library. A couple of minutes went by. During said minutes, Winry, Ed and Riza was playing with Roy's puppy, or at least Winry and Riza were, Ed was just poking at her. (lol he poked you Meg )
They all knew when Hughes asked the librarian, you could hear "WHAT?" a block away. They couldn't hear the rest clearly but they did catch "Not on your life!" and "Wah! Don't throw things woman!"
A few minutes, and loud noises later, Hughes walked out of the library with a grin on his face. "Ok people the pets can come in!" he announced.
"Whoa! How did you convince her to let them come in?" Al asked imprested with Hughes for once.
"Well, it wasn't easy." He started to say, "I talked to her like a sensible gentleman," Here he rubbed the back of his head and whispered, "and I earned a few waps against the head for it," before he straitened and said, "and being the mean old woman she is, she tool a big bite out of my wallet." He pulled his wallet out and opened it up for all to see. It was empty and Hughes was crying those milk tears over it. "Fair wallet, I knew ye well."
After everyone got over their sweatdrops, Roy looked at him and said bluntly, "So you bribed her."
Hughes got over his wallet and looked at Roy, "Heck yes I bribed her! There's no way that bat would have let them in otherwise!"
Havoc took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "Ok, lets get this over with."
Everyone followed Havoc or picked a pet up. When Roy picked Meg up, she demonstrated exactly how she got up on his head. She wiggled and she giggled and she said hey hey……er wait…wrong thing, that comes from a song…sorry about that. Er, ehem, now anyway, Meg wiggled up out of his hands, onto his shoulder and scampered up his head. Everyone laughed at the puppy's antics, and well Roy's annoyed-as-hell face.
When they entered the building, the librarian gave them a God awful look. It appears that even though she had agreed to this, she didn't like.
They didn't like the look she was giving them, you want a description? Ok, if looks could kill, they would be more than six feet under. They hurried to the little room and decided to have the pets in the room with them.
"That way, if they need to go to the bathroom we'll know it." Hughes stated.
Well the boring search started up again, only this time they stopped to wrestle a document or two out of the jaws of Hayate and Meg. Both of them had become fast friends and were soon trying to see witch of them could bury Kaiya, she wasn't amused. She was being a good kitty; lying in someone's lap, lounging on the floor, and those dogs had to see if they could bury her! It was a disgrace! Well, she'd show them a thing or two.
Kaiya bided her time, waiting for the right moment to strike. That moment came when the two hounds of hell had to go potty. Riza got up and led the three of them out of the library to the small court yard across the street. After the dogs had run amuck and did potty, she led them back to the room. It was in the hallway when she sprung her plan. She snuck up behind both the dogs and then sprang forward and gave both of them a nick on the butt with her claws. Both puppies yelped and sprang forward. They barreled past Riza and into the room, yelping all the way.
"What the?" Roy said as a frantic Meg jumped at him. Hayate never made it to a person, as soon as he entered the room he skidded to the side and hit a shelf. A folder came down on top of him as Riza and Kaiya came running in. When they entered the room, everybody stared at them, waiting for an explanation for this strange behavior.
"What just happened?" Roy asked holding a whimpering Meg.
"I don't know, they just freaked out." Riza said as she walked over to Hayate. Before she got to him, he jumped up and grabbed the file that had attacked him. He started to growl and was shaking it hard, Riza tried to grab the file but Hayate jumped out of the way and started to run with it. He go to the other end of the room before Havoc picked him up and took the file away from him, or well took a page away from him. Hayate was struggling too much to get the other parts of the file. Havoc dropped him with the document as Hayate twisted hard. Havoc sighed and leaned back in his chair and scanned the paper he had managed to retrieve from the black and white doggie. The following items will be shipped via the states trading routes. These items are very valuable and must be well protected.
Havoc read that line again and vaguely thought, there's something about this that's important, but what? After rereading it again and again it finally sunk in. "I found it!" Havoc shouted as he sat up straight.
Everyone had been trying to catch the little dog that refused to be caught when they heard this. Everything stopped and everyone looked at him. "What?" Ed asked.
"I said I found it! This is the file that we've been looking for!" Havoc said, overjoyed that he didn't have to go a whole day without his cigarettes again.
"Yes!" Winry shouted and jumped into the air amiss all the cheering, but when she landed, she looked troubled. "Wait, if that's part of the file then that means the other part is…Hayate!"
It was a mad scramble to Hayate and finally Al held the file, or Al held It. Yes finally the work was done and everyone had their happy thoughts, that is until…
"He he he hehe HA HA HA" Hughes started to laugh non-stop as he realized something.
"What are you laughing about?" Roy asked.
"He he he, well just think, we've found the files." Hughes started in an eeeeevvviiiill way.
"Yeah." Roy replied.
"The search is over."
"Yeah…" Roy said with a hint of realization.
"That means the bet must be done."
"Yeah…" This time there was a hint of panic in his voice.
"And Havoc found the file so that means both you and Ed has to dress up!" Hughes finished in a bit of laughter, and he wasn't the only one laughing.
Both Roy and Ed visibly wilted and said in union, "Oh crap…"
AN: Well that's all folks! If you didn't know, that 'she wiggled and she giggled' thing came off a song called Mari Lavo (sp?) Well anyways, if Kaiya seemed particularly evil in this one, blame me! She had no part in her behavior! Not saying she wouldn't do those things, just saying she didn't do them this time. Anyway read and review plz. And srry if there's any typos or mistakes, I didn't have anytime to go back and reread it, unless all of you wanted to wait another day.
