Anime ConventionAs they arrived on shore, all three proceeded to cry.
"We'll never make it out alive!" sobbed Wrath.
Edward looked around. There was no mistaking it; it was definitely an anime convention. Even having read the sign that read "Anime Convention", Edward just knew that this was some sort of convention… most likely an anime convention… he could sense it.
"Can't we just go around it?" he asked in desperation.
"It would never work…" explained Envy, slowly regaining his composure.
All of a sudden, Wrath stopped crying. "Umm, guys? What exactly is so bad about an anime convention anyway?"
The others gasped.
Envy felt it was his duty to explain… he also just liked talking. "You see Wrath, no one really likes you, however, the Shrimp and I, particularly the latter, are ridiculously famous and loved by the ignorant masses. They go crazy over books and T-shirts of us, what do you think would happen if we just turned up at a convention?"
Wrath thought for a moment. "They'd ask you why you wear the miniskirt?"
"No! After that damnit!" Envy yelled. "-I mean it's not a miniskirt! We'd be torn apart by frenzied fan girls – that's what!"
"Yeah… whatever you say…" sniggered Wrath.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" yelled Envy.
"Nothing…"
"Oh, that's all right then," Envy said.
"So what's the plan then?" asked Edward.
Envy, being the oldest, felt special having the responsibility of coming up with the plan, yet sadly he couldn't concentrate as he had the Mexican Hat Dance song stuck in his head.
"It's risky…" he said, "but I think I have an idea…"
The idea was that they dress up as other anime characters, so they wouldn't stand out among everyone else at the convention. The idea itself was not sooo bad, and when Wrath asked why they couldn't just act like they were only dressed up as the characters they really were, Envy explained that no one ever really does a good job when it comes to cosplay, and even if the fan girls did believe that it wasn't really them, they would tear them apart anyway because of the incredible likeness… maybe it would have been easier if I had just written out what they had said like the rest of the story…. but meh. Anyway, the bad part of the idea, was who they dressed up as.
They stepped into the building, Edward dressed as Yugi (because he's so short), Wrath dressed as Envy (i.e. just wearing Envy's headband), and Envy dressed as Sailor Moon (he did the whole transformation complete with the music and pretty backgrounds too… don't ask).
"WOW!" Wrath was shocked to see so many people dressed up (badly) as him and his fellow sins. There were even Edwards but it was really obvious that they weren't him because no one is that short in real life.
"C'mon, we've gotta find an exit…" said Envy. (BIG MISTAKE!)
"That voice," whispered someone in the crowd. "IT'S ENVY!" At that moment everyone turned and looked, mouths wide open. They were cornered.
"IT IS HIM!" screamed an obsessed fangirl.
"Uhh, no it isn't?" said Edward in desperation.
"Get out of the way, Shorty!" yelled one of them, as the crowd started closing in on the three.
"I AM NOT SO SHORT THAT I DIDN'T EVEN QUALIFY TO BE A JOCKEY!" screamed Edward.
Everyone took a closer look. "IT'S EDWARD TOO!"
"We're in real trouble now," Envy stated the obvious a lot.
"And I'm Wrath!" cried Wrath.
"Yeah, whatever," said someone in the crowd.
Wrath cried loudly. That gave Edward an idea. "That gave me an idea!" he yelled. He clapped his hands together and created a door in the wall. "Come on!" he told the others.
They all scrambled through just in time before Edward changed the door back into an ordinary wall. It had been close but they weren't out of the woods yet. In fact they hadn't even reached any woods yet. You don't just find woods all over the place you know. They ran for their lives until they were finally a few steps away.
"I don't get it," said Envy. "How did Wrath's crying give you that idea anyway?"
"Well," Edward answered, "whenever Wrath starts crying I feel like calling 'the gate' to get him!"
"But you didn't make a gate, dumbass, you made a door," said Envy.
"Yeah but the version of FMA I saw had bad subtitles," replied Edward.
Wrath was 'way lost' (Envy likes to try and keep up with the times… being almost 400 years old does that to some people), "You were in the damn show – and you had to read the subtitles?"
"…Wrath, you're just asking me to call the door…" Edward threatened.
"It's 'the gate'! Besides, Envy will save me, right?"
Envy was walking away, whistling incriminatingly.
"EN-" Wrath was knocked over by a figure in red, who appeared to be running for his life, as they were earlier.
"I got a bad feeling as that guy ran past," Edward told the others, still staring at the figure who, not being a particularly fast runner, was still in sight.
"Was that…" Envy mumbled, "Greed?"
"Yeeessss!" came the distant reply of the runner, probably a slower runner than I had first imagined, who didn't even turn back. Greed had been dressed as Alucard, as he already had the glasses and pointy teeth.
"Okay… why did Greed just run past? And how did he get off the island?" asked a highly puzzled Edward.
Envy shrugged, "You get used to these things…"
"Anyway," said Wrath, "what do we do now? It isn't time for the barbeque yet, and the chapter is almost over and the only other one of us we've seen is Greed."
"Oh, pick me! Pick me!" begged Envy, jumping up and down with his hand up.
Wrath sighed. "…Envy," he muttered.
"DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!"
"Do we have a choice?" Edward whispered to Wrath. Wrath shook his head.
"YIPPEE!" cried Envy, who proceeded to skip and prance around like a pansy. Envy liked flowers and love-hearts and teddy beaugbljbblhmjk jcty, GIVE THE TYPEWRITER BACK DAMNIT PRIDE! Lufdgobwellap dkai fg9 gof65 NEVER! Jghuj ,kjy76f 534og ivl npawuk.
