Chapter 4: Back to Eastern Headquarters

It was raining as Nikooru stood before Eastern Headquarters with Ed and Al. She wore a black jacket similar to Ed's except it didn't have a flamel on the back of it. Ed was being whiny, so Nikooru wasn't paying much attention to him. She just stood there looking through the gate which leads to Eastern Headquarters.

"Ed where'd you run off to oh there I couldn't see you there behind my paper work

Seeing as how your so short and all," Ed said mocking the Colonel.

Nikooru turned her head to Edward, "C'mon Ed. Huh? Where'd Al go?" Nikooru said swinging her head around.

"Al," Ed called out to Al. Al perked his head up back from an alley way "Uh coming brother."

Ed turned to Nikooru "Well I guess we will see you later today sometime."

"Ahhh… I wish I could come with you are you sure I can't… I mean it is nasty… and… raining… can't I just once," she was sighing and begging at the same time, "please."

"I'm sorry only military personal allowed."

Nikooru head perked up an evil grin appeared across her face. She turned around pulled something out of her bag and bent down. Ed and Al both looked at Nikooru curiously. What was she doing? Nikooru tapped the transmutation circle she had drawn on her clothes, and with a flash of light Nikooru was no longer wearing her usual outfit. She had used some of her clothes she had in her bag, and what she had on to make herself a military uniform. Ed and Al were a bit surprised.

"How is this for military personal?" Nikooru said turning around to face Ed and Al with the same evil grin that she had on before.

"Looks good but, if you get caught…" Ed's words interrupted.

"Don't worry I won't, and even if I am somehow caught I am sure with my abilities I can escape," Nikooru said cockily.

"It is a serious crime if you impersonate military personal.." Ed's words again interrupted

"It isn't a crime until you get caught I will be extra careful I promise."

"Reminds me of Hawkeye" Al said. "Yeah it kind of does" Ed said nodding his head.

After entering the building Ed went to see the Colonel while Nikooru walked around with Al. They had been stopped once so far by Breda who asked who Nikooru was but, then they came upon Havoc who immediately rushed up to them.

"Hey Al," Havoc said while looking at Nikooru, "Who is your friend? I don't believe we have met before my name is Jean Havoc." He said grabbing Nikooru's while shaking her hand.

"It's Ni..ko..o..ru," She said with a grin.

"So you want to go out on a date sometime,"

"Ummm… that's forward…," Nikooru said while looking at Havoc with his puppy dog eyes, "Why not?" She said with a grin while rubbing the back of her head.

"How bout tonight?"

"Sure."

So the plans for the date were arranged during all this where was Al to be but, standing beside Nikooru with a dazed look. It had all happened so fast. Havoc took of down the hall way with a big grin across his face. Once he turned the corner out of sight of Nikooru he began to skip around waving his hands in the air while saying "I have a date, I have a date."

Al popped out of his daze, "Did that really just happen?" Al said while pointing down the hallway in the direction that Havoc had went.

"Yeah it did." Nikooru replied, "I wonder how Ed is fairing with the Colonel."

"Probably not so good I wonder how he is going to be with you going on a date with Havoc?"

"What do you mean Al?" Nikooru said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh nothing at all forget I said any thing he probably won't care." Al said defensively.
