Chapter 3: The Pet room

Ed bounced in Al's arms as he pranced jontily and whole-heartedly. Al seemed to be in a better aditude than usual. He had a big smile on his face( despite wearing the armor mask) as he pranced around the military office. Al would wave to anyone that he passed by and call out their names. Ed didn't know most of the people that Al had spoken to.

" How do you know all these-" Ed began, but then heard his voice. All that came out of it were loud meows.

" It's ok, kitty!" Al exclaimed happily " Were're almost there..."

Almost there? Where was he taking him?

Riza peered over the corner of the hall. " I do hope the Colonel is alright." She said it sternly, but she had a bit of a worried look on her face.

" 1st Lutienant!" saluted Fulman, facing Riza " It has been aproximately one hundred and forty minutes that the Colonel has not been present. There is no need to worry. The minutes that the Colonel can take off work a week is one hundred-" Fulman was cut off by Riza.

" That's not what I meant..." she sighed " Roy isn't the type to leave his work. He's not a slacker." She looked away as if she were thinking about something or recalling a memory.

" He's probably on another date..." chuckled Breda, and the others joined in. Riza looked at them with her firey red eyes. Her lip slightly quivered as she turned around to walk out of the room.

" You guys so immiture sometimes." she said intently and went off to do more work.

Edward still was clutched in Al's arm, when all of a sudden Al stopped in front of a large door.

" We're he-ere!" Al cooed into Ed's pionted ears. With that, Al thrust open the door and spread out his arms forcefully, which caused Ed to go flying across the room.

" Welcome to my PET ROM!" He exclaimed joyfully.

Ed had now gotten back up onto his four legs. A look of horror was spread across the furry creature's face. Ed was in the corner of a very large room filled with animals. LOTS of animals. There were cats, dogs, fish, lizards, birds, rabbits and even a few wild animals.

" I hope you like it!" said Al happily, walking towards Ed " It took me all morning to get all these-"

Al's words were cut of by Havoc who was standing in the corner of the room with a cigarette hanging losely out of the corner of his mouth, clearing his throat.

"Oh!" exclaimed Al, getting up to face Havoc " Hello Luietenant Havoc! Could I help you with anything?" Havoc chuckled as he looked around the room.

" We found a shrimp for ya'." he shrugged, handing the fish bowl with Roy in it.

" Ooooo!" Al exclaimed " I don't have one of these yet..." Roy looked blankly at Al " He's not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, is he?" Havoc chuckled and nodded his head. When Roy heard this he glared at Havoc and Al and shook his fist at them " Guess he has an aditude..." Havoc pointed out, with his cigarette half-dropping out of his mouth.

As Al set Roy down on a table, Roy caught a sight of Ed. He slightly frowned. That thing looks firmilar... Ed noticed the new water creature that Al was setting down on the table. Does that shrimp have BLACK HAIR? he thought to himself, glancing at the shrimp oddly.

" How did you get all these animals, Alphonse?" asked Havoc.

" Well, I was starting to find a lot of animals around the Military, so I asked Mrs. Riza if I could start a room for them," Al began " Then I decided to look for stray animals around central. I found tons! It took me all morning!" So that's what Al's been doing all morning... thought Ed, annoyed.

Havoc looked around the room and turned on the balls of his feet as if he were about to leave the room when he stopped in his tracks. Havoc's gave had been caught by a small furry white rabbit. Havoc slightly smiled and came up to the furry creature and got down onto his knees. He peered at the rabbit in the eyes. The white bunny cocked its head back and forth in confusion. Havoc smiled and pulled out an orange carrot out of his pocket. The bunny took it from his hand and the stuck the carrot out of the side of his mouth like a cigarette. Havoc got up and looked down at the rabbit. " I used to have a rabbit like that when I was a kid..." Havoc smiled and turned around to walk out of the room as he walked away, he gave a wave up in the air from beind him " Bye, kid..." Al waved bye to him " Bye Lieutenant Havoc!"

Al turned around and sighed " Well, Kitty do you you like your new home?" Al asked Ed. Ed eyes widedned. He wasn't listening to Al. He was watching the bunny that Havoc was talking to. It had followed Havoc right out the door. Then the other animals began following the bunny. The Animals were running out the room and into the militay office. They were on the lose...This cannot be good...
