All through the night and into the wee morning hours, the only lamp in the room went on, off, on, off, on, and off in that repeated pattern. Finally, Edward gave up, alchemized a blindfold for himself, and went to sleep snoring. Elysse, pleased with the outcome, continued to do whatever she needed to do, but ended up falling over and sleeping. Meanwhile, Revenge was up all night coming up with plans to kill the three Elrics. Why not kill the brothers too, if she already had to kill Elysse? Elysse and her brothers shared the same blood, and by sharing the same blood, they shared Elysses bloodand Revenge HATED any cell of Elysse. But it was odd how it was her fault that she stabbed and killed herself She had already ordered the servants in the house to make preparations for the royal ball. Patricia soon realized that it was seven o'clock in the morning, so she changed back into Sarah and opened the door of the three Elrics room. She found the twins sleeping on the ground snoring and Al just sitting in the corner, unable to go to sleep because he was armor. She alchemized a whistle and blew into it hard.
"Holy Shi-!" Elysse shouted, rolling over, and kicking Al by accident, knocking off his head.
"Damn-!" Edward screamed, literally jumping higher than his height.
He saw Sarah in the room, grabbed a blanket and covered him self-up. "WTF? What are you doing in our room! I'm still in my boxers you know!"
"Oh, my apologies. I was just checking if you were awake and I guess I was wrong so I blew the whistle. After you all get dressed, please come down to the dinning room. We have breakfast waiting." With that, Sarah left.
Elysse just grabbed her stuff and left, going to her room. Edward closed the door and started changing.
"Okay, so its a royal ball, psh! Better get something nice to wear anyways" Elysse thought.
"What, to wear..." Elysse now thought out loud.
She was extremely annoyed at picking out what to wear in the mornings. Which is why she always wore ONE pair of the same clothing everyday. And every night she always alchemized them clean.
"Why get so complicated with how you dress?" Sighing, she dug into her shoulder bag looking for the skirt that Peter had made for her the ONLY other pair of clothing other than her white form-fitting polo shirt, black low-rise pants, and the signature cloak that her twin wore.
Suddenly four women servants appeared out of the closet. "The CLOSET! What the--! shouted Elysse. "Were you in the closet the entire freakin night Who the fudge put you there! Are you guys perverted or something or are you trying to--"
The four servants ignored her, and advanced toward her. One of the house cleaners was holding a pink dress with extra lace and ruffles over the chest, arms, skirtbasically everywhere and Elysse hated pink and lace and ruffles.
"Oh, no you don't! I'm not wearing that thing! BLOODY MURDER!" Elysse hollered, as she began to back away.
Unfortunately, the servants tackled her, unceremoniously ripped off her clothes, and stuffed Elysse into the dress. There was also a scream heard from Edward and Al's room. Elysse was sure it was Edward's scream.
"Let me guess...he has those 'gentlemen servants' right?" asked Elysse, her hair messed up, and the dress hanging oddly in some places.
The servants nodded, combed Elysses hair into a neat bun, and straightened her dress. A few moment later everyone, except the servants, were sitting at the table eating breakfast (Well, Al doesn't really eat breakfast so yea...) Edward kept playing with his tie on his tuxedo, and attempting to loosen it. Elysse was also trying to fix the huge bow on the back of her dress. Both twins glared at Al who had no problems at all with just his loincloth.
"So, do you three know how to dance?" asked Sarah.
The three Elric's looked at each other, and sweatdropped.
"Eh..." they looked back at Sarah, faces pulled into a fake smile. "Yeah, yeah...we, we know how to dance...heh, heh..."
"What...kind of dance?" she asked, her eyebrows twitched up in an arc.
Elysse replied, "Free Style the Elric and Grandpa and Neighbors Way" Ignoring the disgusted look on Sarahs face, a happy memory played its way into her mind.
-Flashback-
"Okay, Okay, kids I'm gonna play the music now!" Peter cheerily called.
He pressed a button on the stereo, and loud classical music played. "Um...Grandpa? How do we dance?" Al asked, shuffling his feet.
"Lets try this!" Elysse stepped to one side.
And this again She stepped to the other side. Pretty soon, Edward and Al were catching up. Peter found it amusing, but boring at the same time, so he came out onto the dance floor, and started doing disco moves. They all started laughing. The moves became wilder, and then without knowing it, the four were jumping on the furniture, and sliding on their knees. The doorbell rang, and Edward ran up to answer it. A cross neighbor was at the door. The music abruptly stopped it was Mrs. Marsh, the grumpiest person on the entire block.
"Heh heh, can I help you?" Ed asked, sweatdropping heavily.
Elysse blushed deep red. She had been sliding down a banister. Mrs. Marsh angrily frowned, then, randomly jumped into the house, and started doing the robot. Peter began to catch flies, but snapped out of it. Al turned the music back on. Soon, the neighbors heard the ruckus, and all began to join in, inviting themselves in. There were dance styles ranging from hula to tap to hip-hop, and everyone had a great time until the cops came to break up the loudness of it all.
-End Flashback-
Sarah said with a smile on her face, "Oh! Well, I thought you know how to dance in ballroom dancing style."
The Elric's fell anime style and yelled, with four arms out of them (like in the manga), "No! No effing way!"
"Oh wellfollow me anyways..." The Elrics reluctantly followed her and they were soon on the dance floor.
"The Ball Room is big, isn't it, Brother?" asked Al, and Edward nodded.
"Now, you two" she pointed to Edward and Elysse, pulled them close together and put them in dancing position. "There..."
Elysse looked at Edward's hand on her waist, glared at Edward and whispered, "Don't get any funny ideas where your hands going to go or youre going to be six feet under...and NOBODY will be able to find you six feet under" Edward only sweatdropped, knowing his sisters threats always came true.
"Here we go!" cheered Sarah, and she walked over to the piano, and began to play Chopins Nocturne in D minor, with Al standing beside the piano, bored.
Edward and Elysse did not know what to do. "Come on guys, dance!" Sarah called, still smiling and playing the piano non-stop.
Edward and Elysse just began to ballroom dance in the best way they could. Every five seconds, Ed or Elysse would step on each others toes, and they would grimace in pain. A few minutes later the song "The Hamster Dance" by Hampton the Hamster started playing on the speaker, everyone stopped and sweat dropped.
"Wha..." Sarah faintly said. "Ill be right back. The servants might be playing with the old CD tracks again" Revenge did a fake laugh and ran off, cursing under her breath. "Damn-!"
There was an invisible transmutation circle in the floor already, which would automatically kill Edward and Elysse if they crossed the true dead centre of it but ONLY if classical music was playing. And it just happened to be that "The Hamster Dance" was playing when they crossed the center. The three Elrics looked at each other then at the speaker.
"Well, she didn't say anything about stopping..." Elysse whispered
Edward replied, "Right..." Suddenly, the three Elrics started dancing Free Style the Elric and Grandpa and Neighbors Way.
Seeing that the servants were observing them, Elysse and Ed quickly got into ballroom dancing formation, which was very odd, since the music was not classical.
"Oh, you really want it that way?" shouted Elysse as Edward stopped.
"What can I say, you do suck at dancing!" Edward laughed and received a slap.
"Oh, really? Fine!" Elysse cried, and started navigating Edward around in circles.
Edward had no choice but to do so because he was smaller than his sister.
"How do you like it now, pipsqueak?" The servants who were watching started laughing.
"WHO ARE YOU..." Ed started, but was interrupted by Elysse as she whispered, "Shut up and just dance... The Hamster Dance isn't on anymore!"
But Edward didn't shut up for long, "How the hell, do we dance without music!" They began fighting again, with Elysse stepping on Edward's foot, and Edward tightening his grip so Elysse's hand could get crushed.
"How do you like it now? I've got automail on!" The servants roared with laughter at the two youths antics.
Elysse was fighting against the pain of the automail, so she ended up dipping Edward and saying, "I could careless against your freakin automail, pipsqueak!"
Sarah jogged back in and breathlessly said, "I finally turned..." She began catching flies at what she saw.
Elysse, a girl, dipping her twin brother? No way. The servants cheered and left as Sarah called, "Please, go do your work!"
With Elysse still dipping Edward, many voices started at once. "What amazing pose!" cried Sarah, with false amazement.
From past experiences in their childhood, she could not believe that Elysse even had the strength to dip her brother. Elysse lost balance and fell on Edward, "Oh, god...Edward germs!" Then, Ed and Elysse began fighting again for no apparent reason.
Al thought that now would be a good time to just look like a still piece of armor, standing by the piano.
"I have never seen a girl dipping a boy!" cheered Sarah, interrupting the fight.
Edward and Elysse looked at each other with disgusted faces and took one-step back from each other.
"I'm sure you'll be ready for tomorrow's ball!" She left the room.
"B-but I thought we were leaving today!" Ed shouted, as servants hauled him and Al back to his room.
"Somethings wrong here she said we could leave today..." Elysse muttered, the same thing happening to her.
