Ed: …
Skaii: …
All: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
Roy: Well that wasn't quite what I thought you'd say.
Ed: Stuff it Colonel Chicken!
Al: Oh come on brother, you know it was funny.
Hughes: Ed, want to see some pictures of-
Ed: No I do NOT want to see some pictures of your daughter!
Hughes: Well, I wasn't going to show you any of those to you anyway! I was just going to show you these, Puniest Shrimp in the world!
Ed: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH x2
Skaii: …
Al: We aren't own by anyone here.
Armstrong: I shall flex my beautiful mussels for you now!
All but Skaii and Armstrong: RUN AWAY!
Skaii: … I don't think I even want to own seafood like that.
It was an eerie quiet. Ed's face was now warmer than a burning ember as he stood up on stage looking down at Skaii. Everyone waited intently.
" Well, wha-what do you say to that?" Ed said stumbling over his words. Skaii's eyes were wide and her mouth was opened a little, but she still looked cold and numb as she stared at the embarrassed alchemist. Skaii's mouths twitched upward quickly then back to her frown. Ed held his breath, as did everyone else, and crossed his fingers slightly. Skaii felt a twinge in her stomach. It was like a bubbly feeling. Suddenly she was smiling and soon after that she started laughing! Her color was returning as well as she covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes started to tear. Ed felt relief wash over him. Darrie and Alf were smiling at Skaii. Roy and Hughes exchanged 'What is going on here?' looks. Al and Armstrong started laughing. Al was so sure his brother would never had said this but now…
" So the shrimp finally wised up!" Roy grinned and started laughing as well. Ed wasn't sure how much more he could blush.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Skaii clutched her stomach with one hand and with the other she wiped her coloring eyes. " I can't –haha- believe you di-did –hahahaha- that!" Skaii laughed.
" Way to go Fullmini!" Hughes called out. Okay now Ed couldn't take it anymore. His face was once again plastered with one of his famous 'WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!' looks. He charged at his little audience in the back and called out some pretty colorful language.
" Run away from the charging shrimp-o!" Roy shouted as he and everyone else with him jumped up and out of the way. Skaii, Darrie, and Alf watched in amusement as Ed chased the group across the stage several times.
Thank you Edward… Skaii smiled to herself. She was kind of tired from laughing so hard. I'll have to thank you personally and greatly for this. Skaii looked over her clothing.
" Ano ano ano?" Darrie inquired the displeased Skaii.
" Yeah I know I absolutely hate no color!" Skaii stood up on her chair. " It's almost as bad as my school uniform… and the energy sucking color." Skaii grumbled. Then she nervously snapped her fingers. For a second nothing happened then, to Skaii relief, her clothes changed. Skaii now had on a silky Chinese lime green blouse with long sleeves, darker green baggy pants, two dark green, almost black, Chinese shoes (do they have a real name?), light green wristbands, and a jade green backpack. " Much better." Skaii smiled. Darrie and Alf clapped with enthusiasm. Skaii bowed to them before jumping on stage. She jogged over to Ed, who was still in his chicken suit, and tripped him.
" What was that for?" Ed yelled and then said something to the floor.
" I can't hear you when your kissing the floor chicken shrimp."
" Oh yeah, real original! I go through all that trouble and this is how you thank me?"
" Is this how you want me to repay you?"
" Heck no! I want to go home!"
" … Well, why didn't you just say so?" Skaii asked as she bent over the glaring Ed. " I'll get you a transportation pass and you can leave tomorrow!"
" Really?"
" Do you think I mean it?"
" …No."
" There we go then." Skaii stood straight up and looked Ed over. " I like your choice of clothing. Very creative." Ed shot Skaii a death glare.
" I wasn't the one who choose it." Ed said harshly. Skaii gawked at him.
" Is that why your clothes are always so out there? What do you have some blind, retarded, fashion challenged guy picking out your clothes?" Skaii said this so seriously she had trouble keeping her giggles in afterwards. Ed swung at her feet with his left arm. Skaii tripped but before she hit the ground she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
" Did she explode?" Armstrong asked Roy who was looking under a curtain with his butt sticking out. Al glared at his brother a few feet away.
" Good going brother… Say, weren't you just trying to get Skaii back to normal?" Al softly asked his big brother. Ed rolled his eyes and stood up. But by the time he was brushing off his chicken legs he fell back to the ground.
" GAK!" Ed coughed. Skaii was sitting on his back eating a slice of pizza.
" Yummy! Anyone want some? How about you Ed? …Ed?" Skaii looked around the room. Alf and Darrie were chasing each other in between chairs, Armstrong was dragging out Roy from under the curtain while Hughes snapped pictures, and Al was standing next to Skaii. " Hey Al, you seen Ed?"
" Haha, no not recently!" Al chuckled. Skaii shrugged and moved her seating a bit.
" Man these chairs hurt. They're so lumpy… like shrimp puffs." Skaii mumbled. After saying this she fell over and landed on her head. Ed stood up and glared at Skaii with his mighty chickeness. " Wow, you know that outfit makes you look taller." Skaii said while rubbing her head. " Now you look about 4 inches tall!" At this Ed tried to jump Skaii but Al held him back.
"WHOAREYOUCALLINGSOSHORTTHATIFHEWASNEXTTOABABYCHICKTHEBIRD WOULDEATHIMBEFORESOMEONECOULDMEASURETHEM!" Ed screamed at the top of his lungs causing everyone to look his way. Skaii, who was still on her butt, closed her eyes and smiled,
" I forgot to thank you Edward. If you hadn't said that well…" Skaii trailed off. Al let go of Ed, who fell on his face, and squatted next to Skaii.
" So, are you alright now?" Al asked Skaii sincerely. Ed stood up and rubbed his aching chin. She smiled at Al and nodded her head,
" Yeah, thanks for worrying Al. Sorry for giving you guys such a scare though." Skaii looked down at her hand. Ed sighed fairly irritated and tapped Al's armor.
" Hey Al, I think you should go get those idiots over here so we can answer some letters." Ed said trying not to show he had bit his tongue. Al didn't argue. He got up and went over to get the 'idiots'.
" What happened?" Ed asked once Al was a good 4feet away.
" You know I told you we needed to get off the train."
" If you hadn't gone and force fed me that COW PEE that wouldn't of happened!"
" Not my fault you're weak."
" WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"
"Did you find out about the train system?" Skaii asked with out even looking at Ed. He took a quick intake of breath.
" Yeah…"
" Horrible, huh?"
" Why do they do that?"
" It's a punishment." Skaii wouldn't make eye contact with Ed. He was about to ask her more but just then Al came walking back with a knocked out Hughes over his shoulder.
" He was trying to escape by climbing the curtain…" Al sighed. Armstrong flexed his mussels so that the ripped curtain fell from his shoulders to the floor.
" No need to thank me!" Armstrong said with sparkles floating around. Roy scooted away from him.
" Alright, lets answer them, shall we?" Skaii asked taking a letter out of Al's hand and read aloud,
Um, no.
Dear Roy or whoever wants to read this, but mostly Roy, yeah, that did not make any sense, but oh well. What would happen if someone mixed gasoline, oil, kerosene and any other flammable substance together and set it aflame? Would there be a huge explosion? I'm just wondering… By the way my friend named Emily loves you… She wants toxxxx you so badly and I will be killed for telling you her secret. Well, got to go hide. Bye
-Black Spell-
All eyes turned to a bewildered colonel who was blushing/smirking.
" So, you are going to answer her, right?" Ed asked Mustang. Skaii reread the letter to herself.
" Well what would happen if you mixed all of that together?" Al asked curiously and looked in Roy's direction. Then so did everyone else did too.
" What? What are you looking at me for?" Asked a bemused Roy who hadn't been listening but instead daydreaming about whoever 'Emily' was. Skaii looked disappointed and rolled her eyes,
" You have a narrow one track mind…" Roy gave Skaii a 'would you prefer to be sizzled or fried?' glace. " Or possibly, as I have known to see this come from Ed as well, you have no mind at all" It was such a good thing that Armstrong and Al were there to keep Skaii from getting burned and auto-mailed…
"Put me down this instant! I am a ranking military officer and I am a higher rank than you Major!" Shouted Roy who was in an arm lock from Armstrong. " Ah, Fullmetal I have an idea!"
" Wow, that's new." Ed struggled to say in between Al's side and arm.
" I'll let that pass this time… You remember what the letter said about that explosion combination?"
"Sure."
" Well I think we could test it out." Roy said waving his feet towards the ground. Skaii smiled and said,
" Are you going to say you two want me to explode?"
" Well, define 'explode'." Roy and Ed asked at the same time. Armstrong rolled his eyes, dropped Roy on the hard floor, used the colonel as a stepping stool, and cried,
" I, Alex Louis Armstrong the Strong-Arm Alchemist, would be most obliged to be able to answer your questions Colonel Mustang!" Since Roy wasn't able to breath he made no attempt to stop the muscular alchemist, and even though everyone else could breathe fine no one was insane enough to make the Major stop… " Yes, all of thoughs ingredients mixed together would make a great explosion! But, I'm sure Mustang would preferred to be loved above all else!"
" What idiots… who would want to get in the way when my Roy-toy and I are happily in love?"
Please review, you don't have to write a letter, and I ask that people don't send new letters for a while. We need to respond to the ones we had from the beginning still! So sad…
Sorry this small chapter took forever to get up…
