14. A puppy! Part 2

"Huh?" asked Fury. "Oh, ummmmm….ten bucks!"

"I'll give you twenty!" yelled Havoc. "Then I can eat it stir-fried like I've always wanted to do!"

Fury gasped. He couldn't let the kawaii puppy die like that! "Fifty!" he yelled desperately.

"One hundred," countered Havoc, grinning like a maniac.

Roy would have rubbed his hands in glee right then, if he wasn't holding the puppy. And if he wasn't wearing his gloves. He might accidentally set someone on fire. Which… now that he thought about it, would actually be pretty funny!

"Niisan, please?" Al was begging Ed.

"NO!"

"One hundred ten!" hissed Fury back.

"One thousand," Havoc said.

"Two thousand," said Breda. "I'll be able to pick on it, and it won't hurt me."

"…..where the hell did he get the courage?" Ed asked Roy.

"Kami knows."

The bidding went back and forth. They were up to one million, now. Finally, the Fuhrer stepped in.

"One billion," he said triumphantly.

"Awwww, crap," wailed Havoc. "That's all I've got!"

Breda had a lightbulb go on over his head. He whispered to Havoc, and then shouted, "We'll pool our money! TWO BILLION!"

"I'll give you a safe full of Peeps," the Fuhrer bribed Roy. He didn't need to think twice.

"Sold!" he yelled. The Fuhrer clapped his hands, and a huge door appeared in the sewer wall. It opened slowly, and inside was filled with millions of boxes of Peeps, from the Christmas gingerbread ones to the bunny ones. Within the second, the puppy was in the Fuhrer's arms and Roy was happily swimming in the vault.

"ME WANT SOME!" shrieked Dragon, as she appeared out of nowhere(again). Roy, to amazed at his good fortune, threw several hundred boxes to her. They both started happily munching on them.

"And now, let's get outta here," Ed said.

"We can't without the Colonel," Havoc said.

So they waited for the Colonel to finish, listening to the sounds of two very happy people eating something they like. After about an hour, there wasn't any more noise.

"Why don't you check it out, Ed?" Hughes yawned.

Ed scowled, but went anyway. Inside, there were some boxes in the corner, but it was empty. Then! The dreaded sound! A door clanged behind him, and the light disappeared.

Outside the vault:

Dragon and Roy high-fived each other.

"That was good," Dragon giggled.

Roy was laughing outright. "Yeah," he choked out.

A/n-Okay, it's been more like a week than a couple days….
