I'm really more of an artist than an author... and I've rewritten the final chapter of Nail Polish Vengeanceso many times it isn't funny. It's still not quite right, so don't expect it up this week.

Roy was /trying/ to work, he really was. But everyone was in the hallway outside his office, right where he could see them.

"Whatcha doing?" Havoc asked, leaning over Ed's shoulder.

"Drawing," Ed said. "Go 'way, you're in my light."

"Wow, that's good."

Fury looked. "Alchemists have to be good artists, don't they?"

Ed nodded, still sketching. "If you can't draw properly, your array won't do squat. Or it'll blow up in your face."

Hawkeye came over as well. "That's quite the talent you have there. I like the subject as well, it's very true to life."

Curiosity finally got the better of Roy. "May I see?"

Ed put on a few finishing touches, and handed over the sketchbook.

Roy looked at it and shook his head. "Really, Fullmetal. I do /not/ fall asleep on my desk… that's what the couch in the corner is for."

Hawkeye turned a stony gaze on him.

Roy gulped and wished life had a rewind button.

I don't know if there really is a couch in Roy's office, but there's one there now.

This drabble got started when I tried to draw Roy's array, and realized exactly how hard it is to get those things done properly.

Ok, little rant here. You don't have to read it.

I went into Hot Topic the other day, which was unusual for me. I'm broke as hell, and their stuff is FAR too expensive. But I noticed that they have Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, and FMA t-shirts. Which is nice, but now every teeny-goth in the city who knows what anime is will be wearing them. I bought one shirt three years ago when you could only find it at conventions, and now everyone's going tothink I got it there.That just got me horribly upset, because I've been watching it since before it was licenced in America. Also, out of all of them, they didn't have a single one of Roy. They had several with just the array Ed and Al use to try and bring their mom back, but all I wanted was one of either Roy or his array. Because I like fire. So I said hey, I can draw. I'm going to make my own little copyright infringement. So I now have a black shirt covered in wet red paint up in my room. Roy's array is nifty. I know you guys don't care about my personal life that much, but I just had to get this off my chest.

I think this rant's longer than the drabble. Oops.
