Chapter 2: The Mission

Elicia woke up the next morning "MY FIRST MISSION TODAY!" she announced as she ran out of her room into the bathroom. She quickly got changed and ran over to Fuhrer Roy Mustang. "Ok. Im ready for my 1st mission!" she said happily. Roy looked around furiously, trying to think of what to do. "Ok. Your first mission is to... MAKE ME A SANDWICH! Mayo, tomatoes, and ham please," He told her. Elicia gave him a smile "YES SIR!" she said as she ran out of the room into the kichen.

She ran into the kitchen and looked for the bread. She quickly cut some tomatoes and made Roy a sandwich. "Here you go, fuhrer," she said with a smile. Roy smiled back "Well done, Major Elicia Hughes. Your next mission is to get me a drink," he told her. Elicia ran out and ran back in with a glass of milk "Here you go sir!" she said. "Sir.. these missions are TOO simple. I want a more difficult mission. If you could," Elicia told him. Roy suddenly got a frightened look on his face "Your break is now, Major," he said.

Elicia frowned and walked out of the room. "Damn.. I try to impress the furher and he gives me all these goddamned easy missions," she said as she frowned. She suddenly began to cry "If dad was here.. he'd give me better jobs than this. He'd ACTUALLY trust me more!" she screamed as she cried. Aerin heard her crying and ran over by her side. "Elicia... are you ok?" he asked. Elicia didnt respond. She just kept on crying. Aerin pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly "Its ok. My father just wants you to be safe," he said. Elicia looked up at him. She blushed and quickly kissed his cheek "Hes afraid I might be like papa... I might get killed.. but I wont.. I have his instincts.. his bravery... his smile. In every way, except the fact Im a girl, Im like him," she told him. Aerin looked at Elicia and gave her a smile "I know, Elicia. From what dad told me about Maes, you are quite a bit like him," he said.

Aerin pulled Elicia closer to him and put his lips near hers. Elicia pulled back "WHATR ARE YOU DOING?" Elicia screamed. Aerin frowned "Im sorry." Elicia looked at him and smiled. She quickly kissed him. "Its ok." she said. Aerin smiled. "Well, Elicia. I was wondering.. how would you like to go on a date with me?" He asked. Elicia got a shocked face and smiled "I'd love to Aerin!" she said excitedly. Elicia ran into Central and ran to her room, jumping with excitement. Roy walked over to her. "Why so excited?" he asked. Elicia just smiled and walked away to her room to get some sleep before her big day.
