Terri: -pout-
Al's-best-friend: Fine. –gives Terri a cookie-
Disclaimer: Once upon a time I owned Full Metal Alchemist, then I woke up.
"Okay, we go in, threaten people, blow the place to smithereens, make a big scene, then get out?"
I nodded.
"Then why does it sound so cheesy!" Wrath whined, "How 'bout we go in, slit a few throats and scare the military 'till there're traumatized, then blow the place up!"
I sighed, feeling uncharacteristically tired. Maybe my arm was getting to me?
"Or," yelled Wrath jumping up and down, "you can just blow all the military up! That would teach them! Don't you DARE mess with the homunculi!"
By now Wrath was on the floor laughing with excitement. In his hands was a scared mouse, trying to escape while squeaking. I stared at the mouse that was shivering. Fear was the only thing it thought of right now. It didn't even notice Wrath joy at its pain.
"Were toying with them." I answered finally, "We'll scare them slowly, let them think there're in control. But when it's too late…" I let my sentence end there letting Wrath's twisted mind come up with an answer.
"BOOM!" Wrath yelled while jumping up then started to laugh louder.
Envy walked in at that time and grunted, "Who gave the kid sugar this time?"
I laughed, suddenly feeling a bit more like myself, "I couldn't help it Envy, he looked at me with those puppy dog eyes of his."
"I swear that'll be the doom of him, he'll die from high blood sugar while we do all the work."
"We!" I yelled, turning to face him, "I'm the one who has to blow up the left side of Central's headquarters!"
"Too bad Pride is gone," Envy stated, completely ignoring me, "we could have used his help."
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" Yelled Wrath, racing out of the room taking his mouse with him.
"…" There I ignored Envy; let's see how HE likes it.
"…" Envy faced me with a bored expression.
"…" Stop starring at me you jerk! I'm ignoring you! I thought while scowling.
We glared at each other having silently made a contest.
"DON'T BLINK!" Screeched Wrath as he jumped up from behind me causing me to blink and fall.
"Arrggg!" I screamed in frustration, "That's it, you're dead!" I ran after him after 'accidentally' running over Envy's feet. I ran out of the kitchen, past the living room, into the dinning room, in and out two bathrooms, and through the kitchen again.
Thud
"Ow." I looked up, feeling ridiculous. Why did I have to fall; and on my face at that?
"You okay?" Wrath looked down at me and gave me his best puppy dog eyes impression, "I didn't want you to fall!"
I looked up at him while still lying on the floor and suddenly I felt all my anger and frustration drain. "Darn you and your I-look-so-cute-and-there-isn't-anything-you-can-do-to-stop-me look."
He helped me off the floor. "Thanks munchkin." I said while ruffling his long hair.
"I'm not that younger than you are!" He demanded while pouting.
I nodded, "Sure you are." My voice was thick with sarcasm. I plopped down on the couch that Envy was sitting on. "I would give just about anything right now to blow something up." I said dreamily while thinking of the beautiful explosions, dust, and fire blazing in all its glory.
He grunted.
What is up with him today?
"Something wrong?" I ask softly as I watch Wrath do summersaults out of the corner of me eye.
"No." His voice is stiff and has no emotion.
"Come on, cheer up!" I nudge him with my elbow, "Be excited! Think 'bout it. Mom is out spying on the military scum, and Wrath is all pumped up and ready to do some pretty big damage!" I grin wide, unable to contain it, "You and me have been training like crazy ever since we got to this dump. I've got bruises all over to prove it too!"
He finally has a small grin on his face, "That's true."
"And," I said for extra measure, "Pipsqueak will come."
His small grin turns evil very quickly and the tension in the room vanishes as he relaxes.
I put my head on his shoulder and pouted, "I really want to blow something up right now though."
He just laughs.
Marla puts her head on his shoulder and pouts, "Please!"
Al looked away, trying not to notice the small pout on the girl's sad face.
"I promise I'll be very careful!"
Alphonse knew when he was defeated, he couldn't help it if had a soft spot for Marla. He nodded, "Sure, why not?"
"Whoopee!" Marla yelled as she jumped off the couch, "Thank you so much Al, you have no idea how much this means to me. She pecked his metal cheek quickly and ran into the other room, yelling at him to hurry.
Al put a metal hand up to his cheek, 'Did she just kiss me?' He thought he should have felt scared. 'How could she do that? Doesn't she know what I am?' Suddenly Al was filled with irony. He hated it when people thought of him as a suit of armor, just a thing without a soul. He suddenly felt very warm inside. He felt happy.
"Come on, Al! You promised." Marla yelled from the other room.
"Coming!" Alphonse yelled back as he trekked through the living room and into the kitchen.
Lust trotted briskly through the crowd, being very careful to keep the hood of her cloak over her head. Entering the military's headquarters had been a lot easier than she thought. Now with the 'dead Fuhrer' gone things were more than a little chaotic. She smiled feeling invincible. With all the information she was able to pry out from forgotten filing cabinets and some of the guards she felt even more confident that they would finallybe able to do it. They were finally going to get their hands on the philosopher's stone.
Ed jumped, startled and placed a hand over his racing heart, "Do. Not. Jump. Out. At. Me!" He said through clenched teeth. "This has to be the fifth time you've scared me!"
"Meow!"
"Don't you 'meow' me, I'm sick of you and your evil ways!"
Belle just walked closer to the alchemist and began to rub her head against his leg.
"Go bother Al!" Ed started shaking his leg up and down hoping to free himself. The cat dug her claws in and began hissing.
"Ha! Too bad that wasn't me real leg, huh?" He leaned his face closer to the cat, mocking it. The cat lowered her ears to her head, hissed louder and pounced…right on Edward's face.
"Yooowww!" Ed yelled while glaring at the cat's back as she trotted away. "Stupid cat."
Winry giggled. Ed jumped, again.
"It's not the cat's fault." Winry said thoughtfully, "She's bored and your brother and Marla are in the kitchen working on something and I just finished doing a checkup on Terri's legs." She grinned, "You were her last resort."
"That doesn't mean it has to attack me!"
Winry laughed, her anger at the midget alchemist from yesterday was gone. "Anyway, I came in here to find you, you are up next."
Ed gave her a questioning look.
Winry sighed tiredly, "Your checkup."
Ed grunted and sat on the couch while keeping an eye out for the 'evil cat'. He took off his shirt, exposing his metal arm as Winry came over with her wrench and sat down beside him.
