Hmmm...I thought about this before bed..And it seemed pretty cool to do it..So I got out of bed and I'm sneaking on the computer..-.-'
Anywaaay.. . ; I noticed most of my fics revolved around Roy and Maes. (Well..that would be kinda obvious since they ARE my favorite characters -hugs plushies-)
Edward: "How come I never get fangirls!"
Fuzzy: Ah, but you do! You have a lot fics on yourself!
Edward: "Yeah, and they always have me being gay and with Roy Mustang, that bastard!
Fuzzy: Fine...What if I dedicated this chapter to you..will that make you feel better?
Edward: "...No..."
Fuzzy: I'll do it anyway...
WARNING Episode 25 spoilers...so if you didn't get up to that far, I suggest you don't read this.. !
-For the love of...-
Edward Elric wandered around the streets of Central. He was supposed to be at Headquarters, handing a paper in to Mustang. But he really didn't feel like it. For one thing, he didn't do it. For another, how mad could Roy get at him for now doing one stupid paper?
Very mad.
"Where's Fullmetal, damnit?" Roy slammed his fists on the table of his desk. "I should've never gave him that mission! That paper is practically going to decide my promotion? Why did I give it into the hands of a 15 year old!"
Oh well.
Ed dragged his feet over and over. He didn't really have anywhere to go. Any place was fine, it was just that military officials seemed to be everywhere. And most likely, they'd go tell someone that he wasn't going off to work. He passed by the cemetery and his eyes became curious. He bet that no one would ever guess he was in there.
Ever since Hughes had died Edward really had a reason to stop his quest on the Philosophers Stone. If people had to get involved and get hurt, he really didn't want that. He could tell people not to get involved and it would be dangerous. But Maes Hughes had been different. He'd always find a way to help someone. But in the end, he was killed for knowing too much. Upon finding out he tried to call his best friend. But Envy had taken advantage of him and killed him by his only weakness.
It seemed as if things just couldn't get any worse.
And Edward hadn't known for so long. He hadn't been able to give anyone an explanation, or tell them what had happened. Things just really sucked for Ed.
He looked around for Hughes's grave. He's known about Hughes's death, but never really visited his grave. He remembered when he was younger he would've gone to his mother's grave and stand there for hours in thought.
"Look at how big Elysia has gotten! She can now ride a tricycle. She follows me around everywhere on that thing! Like my own escort of cuteness!"
"Oh yeah. I'm a Lieutenant Colonel now! Got me in charge of Court Martial Investigations!" Hughes exclaimed happily.
"Sounds like fun filled beyond belief..." Edward groaned.
"Alchemists Consent!" Hughes took a deep breath and stood up straight and suddenly broke off into a terrifying run. "READY AND FIGHT!"
"Huh!" Edward looked around confused.
"Where were you Hughes!" Roy angrily asked as he caught sight of his friend.
"I was in hiding!" Hughes proclaimed seriously.
"You're supposed to provide backup!"
"A normal guy like me isn't going to be part of a 'believe it or not' episode with nutcases like you guys!"
"Nut..."
"Hey, Ed! You getting it on with a woman in your hospital room!" Hughes ran into Ed's hospital room happily.
Edward fainted.
Edward chuckled as he found Hughes's grave and stood in wonder. Memories flooded back from when he'd been alive.
"Man..." Edward groaned. As much as he hated the guy, you had to admit he liked him too. He shook his head and turned to leave when a voice stopped him.
"'Man' what? You'd think you'd be a bit more happy to see me, Ed!" a voice behind him resounded.
"Huh?" Edward turned around again when he faced Maes Hughes. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" Edward jumped back in shock and nearly fell on his butt. What? He was only spitting out the truth.
"It sounds as if you were hoping..."
"No! I mean... You really are! That's your grave over there!" Edward frantically pointed to Hughes's grave. This couldn't be happening. He was going insane. That had to be it. He was going insane. 'You've been insane...' the little voice in his head told him in a loud voice.
"Is that supposed to mean I can never ever come back?" Hughes's head went down to his side in a disheartened way. He actually was hoping for more of a better reaction from the small alchemist to see that he was actually here.
"I'm crazy..I'm crazy...This can't be happening. You're not real..." Edward groaned as he began to walk away shaking his head. "No no no...This can't really be happening."
"Oh, come on! Don't leave!" Hughes called after him. When noticing he wasn't coming back decided on why not following him?
And follow he did.
Sadly.
"Would you stop following me, you?" Edward angrily yelled as Hughes had been following him for the past half hour. You couldn't call it following. I guess you could say stalking. Edward had noticed him when Hughes tripped over his own feet behind him.
"You could just say my name," Hughes said sadly.
"I don't even know your name!"
"Yes you do! It's Hughes!"
"You're not Hughes!"
"Yes I am!"
"NO! I refuse to believe that you are Hughes. Because Hughes is dead!" Edward clenched his fists and kept walking. He hoped that if he kept walking Hughes would stop following him.
"Oh come on, Ed!" Hughes whined.
"Mustang won't even believe you're Hughes! You watch!"
"He'd know his best friend when he saw him!" Hughes said. He knew the truth. He knew Mustang would know it were him.
"Well let's go find out.." Edward grinned an evil grin and headed toward Military Headquarters.
A knock resounded upon Roy's door. Roy's hands were clenched and he was trying to act as calm as he possibly could. But it really was a scary sight.
"Come in," his voice was filled with death and anyone with enough sense wouldn't have gone in his office.
Edward walked in his office and Hughes followed behind him. No one seemed to notice. Edward walked right up to Roy's desk and stood straight.
"Edward! Where have you been? That report is due in an hour!" Roy suddenly caught sight of Hughes. "Hughes why are you in my office? Get out! I am NOT going to look at ANY pictures of your daughter!" His words suddenly sunk in and the room became quiet.
"HUGHES!" Roy jumped up and nearly tripped over his chair and onto the floor. "You're supposed to be dead!" Roy yelled and pointed a finger accusingly at his friend.
"Is that what everyone's going to say to me the first time they see me?" Hughes asked angrily.
"H-Hughes?" Havoc's eyes were wide in shock. When Roy seemed to scream out
'HUGHES' his attention was caught and turned over to see Maes Hughes standing there. "No, you can't be!"
"Brigadier General?" Hawkeye looked in the direction of Hughes. She made no noise other than that. Her voice suddenly rejected working.
"Huh? I'm a Brigadier General?"
"I KNEW IT! GHOSTS ARE REAL!" Fury screamed out and ran out of the office. He continued screaming 'ghosts are real' while running down the hallway.
"What the..." Hughes didn't know what to say.
"..." No one else spoke for a while. They all knew Fury was kind of superstitious... Ok...'kind of' was an understatement. Fury was VERY superstitious about ghosts in particular. They were pretty sure it started with Warehouse 13.
"COLONEL! You told us they didn't exist!" Falman accused Roy.
"Th-They don't!" Roy yelled back at Falman. What was he supposed to say? 'Oh it looks like I'm wrong. Ghosts do exist!' would've sounded terrible coming out of the Colonel's mouth.
"That's mean, Roy..." Hughes looked down and felt like crying. "How could you do this to me!" Hughes went up to Roy's face. "Why?"
"Stop that!" Roy pushed Maes away from him and in the process banged his head on the wall behind him. "Owww..."
"Hey, Roy! I've got an idea!" Hughes happily jumped up and down.
"...what..."
"Let's all go out together for dinner!" Hughes happily said.
Roy was silent. The last thing he wanted was that. It wasn't that he didn't believe it was Hughes. He knew now it WAS Hughes. His attitude, personality..It all fit. He didn't want to go because of the fact that it WAS Hughes.
"Come on!" He took everyone's hand and began to drag them outside into the car.
"NO!" Roy screamed out.
"I don't want to eat out with a ghost!" Falman yelled.
"Brigadier General!" Hawkeye didn't know what to say. She wasn't one to question her superiors.
"I don't even know you!" Edward angrily wailed.
Havoc was silent.
-outside-
After being squished into the car, Hughes finally got behind the wheel. In the passenger seat was Havoc who was absentmindedly chewing on his cigarette. In the back was Falman who sat on the corner of the car. Mustang sat in the middle with Edward sitting on his lap. Hawkeye sat quietly on the other side of Roy.
"Hughes!" Roy yelled angrily at his best friend. "May I ask WHY you put Elric on my lap! Why couldn't it have been Hawkeye?" Hawkeye landed a punch on Roy's face.
"Because you and Ed make such a nice coup-"
From high above, Fuzzy throws a giant rock at Hughes's head. "NO! NOT IN THIS CHAPTER!"
Hughes cut himself off and shut the door of the car.
"Maybe I should drive, Hughes..." Roy said, throwing Edward off his lap. Edward fell on Hawkeye. Roy got out of the car and put Maes in the middle of the back, where he had been sitting. "Ok..uhm... So where do we go?"
"Uhm...How about that really expensive restaurant which is one hour away from here?" Hughes suggested.
"NO!" Everyone from the car yelled.
"Fine...how bout the one six blocks down?"
"Okay.." Roy replied and turned on the engine of his car.
"Everyone get your death wish ready..With Mustang behind the wheel we're all going to die..." Ed announced the car.
"Shut up, Fullmetal.." Roy angrily said and he accidentally slammed down the gas pedal.
"ROY!" Hughes screamed from behind the car.
Roy slammed down the breaks. "I'm a good driver..see?"
Sirens sounded from behind their car.
"That was fast..." Hughes said under his breath.
An officer came out of their car and walked up to the car everyone was in. He looked like he was trying to impress someone. He was taking an awfully long time to walk such a short distance and he seemed to be shaking his butt as he walked.
"Oh for the love of god.." Hughes muttered while taking notice of the officers behavior.
The officer reached the car and Roy rolled down the window. What happened next nearly made Roy gag.
"Can I have you license and registration please?" The officer asked politely. That wasn't it. The thing that made Roy nearly gag was the fact that his voice was insanely high pitched and girly.
Roy shuffled around his pockets and handed it to the officer.
"It looks like you've got a full house," The officer stated, noticing how many people were in the car. "What's the occasion?"
Roy frantically tried to come up with an excuse.
"You see...Ms. Hawkeye in the back seat is married to Maes who is in the middle. Their son is Edward who is on Ms. Hawkeye's lap. Me, Jean, and Vato (that's his name, right?) Are friends of them..."
"So why were you speeding?" the officer asked.
"MAES IS PREGNANT! WE NEED TO GET TO A HOSPITAL!" Roy screamed frantically. This was payback time. Maes nearly choked himself from the back seat.
"But this Maes is a man..." the officer stated.
"It's a sad long story! But Maes is pregnant and needs to see a doctor right away! He says his stomach's been getting worse by the minute!"
"In that case, we should go right away!" the officer yelled loudly and started giving directions to the hospital.
Everyone in the car was shocked and wen the officer went back to his car no one spoke for a while. Maes Hughes broke te silence.
"I'm pregnant? I'm going to kill you, Roy...I'm not kidding.." And out of nowhere Maes got out one of his throwing knives and threw it in Roy's direction. Roy ducked in time and saw the knife sticking out of the steering wheel.
"Hughes! It worked, right! We're not in trouble, so it doesn't matter!" Roy said trying to save his life.
"I Don't care! What kind of excuse was that! If you had to make someone pregnant, you could've made it Hawkeye! And speaking of Hawkeye..Why did you make me married to her! And Edward's our son!"
"I'm with you here, Hughes! Let's kill Mustang!" Edward agreed and transmuted his automail arm into a large sword.
Hawkeye did nothing. She let the 3 men fight.
Mustang jumped out of the car and gained his balance. The next thing he saw was Hughes and Edward running toward him with a angry look on their faces.
-later-
Roy Mustang opened his eyes. He stood up and looked around him. He saw Maes sitting in a chair next to where he was sleeping.
"What...where are we?" Roy rubbed his eyes and looked at Maes. "Maes?"
"You're dead, Roy...Me and Edward killed you. To tell you the truth, it was quite fun really.."
"You...did...what?" Roy's voice held a known anger to it.
"Yep..Welcome to my world, Roy!"
Roy pounced in anger at Maes. And punched him in the face. "What. The. Hell?"
"You shouldn't hit a pregnant man, Roy..It's rude." Hughes said angrily at Roy and reminded him what he did earlier.
Roy angrily looked out of the side of his eye and clenched his fists and his teeth together.
"Don't look so sad, Roy!" Hughes said, grabbing Roy by the shoulder. "Now we can live forever, just the two of us!"
"How is that a good thing, Maes?" Roy felt like killing himself again...Was that even possible. Because if it was, he'd do it right away.
