Chapter four: Dad
On his way out of school, Roy Mustang glanced over at Kiwi, who was walking home with Mango. He sighed and shook his head. Back at his apartment, He picked up his phone and dialed the number of a certain someone he knew.
"Fuhrer Roy Mustang here."
"Dad?"
"Roy! How was it?"
"It was good, dad."
"Then why'd you call?"
"Dad, how do you get a girl to like you without telling her you like her yourself?"
"… You've called the right person, Roy. Riza would just tell you to be yourself, but I say to Hell with that. Try to be romantic. Girls like that. When you think she likes you, give her roses. White roses, if you REALLY like her."
"Thanks, dad…"
"Any time, son…"
"Is that how you got mom to marry you?"
"… In a way…"
School, the next day"Good thing you woke me up this morning, Mango!" Kiwi growled. "I'll kill you for every day you don't wake me up to see Roy."
"I know you like him. Why else would you kill me every day?"
"Shut up."
"You SO like Roy…"
"I DO NOT!"
"Drop the innocent act, girl."
"Shut up!"
"Haha…"
Alchemy class"A RED STONE!" Roy and Kiwi both called out.
"And how is a red stone created?"
"A red stone is created when red water is introduced to one million times to force of gravity and is crystallized!"
"How does a red stone become a Philosopher's Stone?"
Roy and Kiwi looked at each other. They shrugged. "Don't know."
"Great, neither do I." Izumi muttered. The bell rang. "Off to gym with you!"
Gym"I hate these stupid uniforms!" Kiwi tugged on her white long-sleeved shirt and looked down at her legs. "I feel like I'm wearing a volleyball uniform…"
"Me, too…" Mango pulled up her hair into a ponytail. "Well, we ARE playing volleyball today." They both walked out of the girl's locker room.
Spin. Spin. Guess who was team captain? Roy Mustang the second.
