The Mental Exam(Edward Elric)

By Lostinms

Ed sighed as he waited his turn for the annual mental examanation for the state alchemist.He had heard that they had a new theripist this year.He hadn't had the chance to meet her.

"Edward Elric the FullMetal Alchemist,"a smooth femine voice called out.Ed stood and walked into the room to be met by a red haired woman with light brown eyes.She was wearing a black dress that went to her knees and was quite slender and elogant.

"Hello I'm Ms.Talon Avis,"she said,"And you must be the infamous Fullmetal Alchemist.I've heard much about you and slight anger issues."Ed glared."I don't have anger issues,"he muttered and she scribbled something down in her note pad.

"This way Mr.Elric,"she said motioning to her office.Ed crossed his arms and followed her with a slight grunt.

The room was small and rectangular with two chairs opposite from each oither.There was a coffee table in between them with a plant in the center of it.

The youthful therapist sat in one chair while the easily angered Edward Elric sat across from her.She pulled on a pair of glasses on stared at him with a warm smile.The FullMetal alchemist just crossed his arms stared anywhere but at her.

"Alright Mr.Elric lets begin,"she said turning her gaze to the note pad she had,"I hear that you argue alot with the Flame alchemist.Why?"Ed turned to her glaring slight."Why is that any of your business?"he muttered agrevatedly."Because Mr.Elric,"she said returning his glare with a stern gaze,"It is my job to ask these questions and unless you want to hold that watch of your's then you better answer the question."

Ed sat with a dumb struck look on his face.'Well we know how she got the job,'said a little voice at the back of Edward's mind.He shook his head and grunted a "fine."She returned her gaze back a sweet angelic look and smiled."I argue with him I guess because...well-""You don't really know do you?"she interupted.Ed blushed and shook his head as he looked to the floor."He just irritates the fuck out of me,"he said,"With his stupid smirk and he always cracks jokes about my height-""Yet in the end he still watches over you,"she concluded as she scribbled down all of this."Yeah,"Ed said slowly.

She scribbled the rest down and took her glasses off and began cleaning hem."Tell me about your family,"she said as she put her glasses back on.

Ed stiffened and looked away."I don't want to talk about them,"he muttered.She nodded kindly."Alright,"she said as she wrote this down,"I'll respect that.Now then do you mind telling me how you got your auto mail?"

Edward's eyebrow twitched."Yes I do,"he muttered.'She is asking a helluva lot of questions,'Ed thought.

"Uh huh,"Ms.Avis nodded,"Well then I think our time together is almost over."She stood up."You may leave,"she said gently closing her notepad,"You will know how it went by next week.You will also know if I'll need you to come back or not."Ed sighed and stood leaving.

He walked slowly as though in a trance.He spotted the suit of armor that was Alphonse waiting for him at the begining of the dorms.He smiled and walked up to him."So how'd it go nee-san?"Al asked.Ed gave him a crooked grin and the thumbs up."I'll know next week how I did,"he said,"So lets go back to our room ok?"Alphonse nodded and began walking back to their room.Ed folloowed suit but his mind was else where.

AN:So?How'd I do?Kind Short yes but beleive me.I'll try to make longer chapters.Arigotou if you acually read this crap.
