Chapter twenty-four: Early morning mail
Coniniaue, in her normal attire, crept through the Elric's window, again, and sat on their table.
"I DON'T THINK I NEED TO SAY IT TWICE THIS TIME! WAKE UP!"
"GAH!" Edward fell out of bed, again, but Alphonse just sat up.
"Good morning, Miss Coniniaue." Alphonse greeted. "Must you wake us up so early?"
Coniniaue took out her pocket watch and clicked it open. "I have… 7 AM!"
Edward looked at his own. "Same here. Aw man, we're late. Why didn't you wake us up earlier?"
"We're not late. We have to be there at 7:30 AM today." She said.
"Great. Half an hour to get dressed and junk like that.
In the lobby
"Any mail?"
"Yes, sir. You too, miss." The lady at the from desk handed them both matching envelopes.
"It's from… Lieutenant Havoc?" Edward tore the envelope open, as did Coniniaue.
"Aww…" Coniniaue smiled. "Havoc's getting married. That's sweet."
"Bleck. And we have to go?" Edward groaned.
"Oh shut up. We get free food, don't we?"
"I guess so… But I have to wear a tuxedo. Damn!"
"Yeah, well, I have to wear a dress, okay?" Coniniaue shot back.
"A dress? Hah! You wore one yesterday and it didn't seem to bother you!"
"Because it had open hips. This can't have open hips, so I can't get to my guns easy!"
"Oh yeah. Good point."
"Whereas you can hide anything under your coat."
"Yup."
"And I can trip on the hem."
"Yup."
"And…"
"OKAY! Dresses are worse! I get it!"
((The evils of dresses XD))
