Chapter twenty-five: The wedding

Edward sat with his arms and legs crossed, grumbling. Coniniaue had insisted they take a taxi, because, it looked official. He was dressed in a black tux… He thought it would look better on a mongoose than him.

Coniniaue was dressed in a layered red dress with long sleeves. She wore gloves, just because her automail didn't look good in that particular dress. The dress swung at Coniniaue's knees, like most of her other dresses. She had pulled her hair up into a bun, letting several locks hang down.

Coniniaue came downstairs and got in the taxi. "There, are you happy? I'm done getting ready. We can leave now!"

"Finally… Alphonse is already there…"

After the wedding, at the after party

Coniniaue was sitting at a table, munching away at some random food. She blinked and glanced up. "Hey, Al. What's up?"

Alphonse sighed and sat down. "I'm a big suit of armor. No one will dance with me…"

"Oh, Al." She patted his hand. "That's sad. I'll dance with you if you want me to."

"No, that's okay, Coniniaue." Alphonse sighed. "I'm afraid I'll step on you."

"Ha, ha. Very funny." She muttered sarcastically.

"Why don't you go dance with Edward?" He asked. "He won't step on you, but you might step on him."

Coniniaue laughed. "Thanks, but… Fine." She glanced over at Edward; he was sitting at a long table, glaring at Mustang as the colonel chatted with Hawkeye.

She stood up and darted over to Edward standing behind him. She was not noticed. She lifted a delicate hand and brought it down on his shoulder, giggling. Edward sprang up.

"CONINIAUE!" He almost shouted. "Don't do that!"

"Do what? Sneak up behind you and rest my hand on your shoulder?"

"EXACTLY!"

Roy snickered and glanced up from Riza. Riza glared at Roy. "Don't…" She growled.

"Edward, why don't you go dance with Coniniaue?" Roy suggested.

"Roy…" Riza muttered, shaking her head.

"Erm, colonel, I don't…"

"That's a GREAT idea, sir!" Coniniaue exclaimed. She grabbed Edward's hand and raced off. "C'mon!"

"Coniniaue…" Edward sulked as he was dragged off. "Noo…"

Roy laughed. "Sometimes I do wonder about her."
