A/N: ha-ha two reviews are as good as five thank you! Well here's the next taste of the story we made it a two parter and the plot thickens.
(Ed is Edward Elric and Edward is Bebop Edward)
Disclaimer: We J&K of horsehearted15 disclaim owning Trigun, FMA, Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop. (Wow didn't that sound professional?)
"Ow," said the Fullmetal Alchemist, "What do you think your doing?" He said dusting his pant legs off then looked to see who the human bomb was; to his surprise it was a pink-haired girl who was looking quite distressed. "Hey I'm talking to you." He waved a hand in front of her face, but she looked right past him looking towards the military dorms.
"Ed's sorry, But I have to go fetch Ein!" she said running around warehouses to the barracks they chased after her.
"Hey you wait up!" But she ran past the guard. Ed and Al could see far ahead of her a welsh corgi chasing a cat. How dare she tell me how to think!
"That poor cat," Al always the natural sympathizer for cats. Ed just looked at Al like he was hopeless and stopped to question the guard.
"Why did you let them in?"
"Well Sir I thought they were with you," the guard said uneasy "I wasn't on shift when you left so I didn't know who was accompanying you. If she shouldn't be here than I'll remove her from the premises."
"No," Ed said rubbing a hand through his hair, "We'll get her, come on Al."
"Yes, brother." The large suit of armor followed his brother's quick pace into the building
They walked into the lobby of the Dorms this is where people could relax on the coaches, read, play chess or foosball. At the moment Denny Brosh and Maria Ross were facing off in the game that needed less strategizing. Ed walked up to them maybe they would know about the assailant.
"Hey Ross, Brosh you two see a pink haired girl come through here with a corgi and a cat?"
"Umm, yeah she just came through here chasing the animals saying 'come back to Ed' do you know her?" Maria asked. Ed shook his head. It had been a weird moment, how many times do you see a cat followed by a corgi followed by a girl with pink hair wearing weird clothes?
"So where did she go?"
"To the stair well."
The two headed down the hall to the stair well. After climbing two floors of the four floor building they heard a light pitter, patter. They looked up and saw her back flipping down the stairs like a slinky. She stopped in front of them in a handstand on the next step. The dog was standing beside her with the cat on the dog's back.
"This place is way more fun than the Bebop!" She flipped again placing her feet on the next step down which happed to be the one Ed was on. Her feet landed on Ed's and losing their balance they tumbled down the stairs knocking into Al and went down two flights of stairs. "YAY!" she said. She had landed on top of Al safely holding Ein.
"All gerrof me!" yelled a muffled voice.
"Oh sorry Brother," Al picked up Edward and put her on the ground, then got up to reveal a squished Ed. He popped up pointing an accusing finger at the girl.
"Who do you think you are, first dropping out of the sky on top of me, then breaking into the dorms and then rolling us down the stair-well?"
"I am Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, oh!" she saw Ed's arm and started to tink around with it "You're short!" she said comparing her height to Ed's then she twisted a screw on Ed's arm.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT I COULD SUMO WRESTLE WITH A FLEA!" He said about to wave his arms around crazily but then noticed his right arm did not move. "Huh… WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ARM!"
"Ni-san, please," Al was grateful that for once he did not have to restrain his brother during this tantrum. He turned too her, "Miss Edward do you think you could fix my brothers arm. It's very important to him." She thought for a moment.
"Nope," Ed and Al fell over.
"Why not!"
"Because you are Vash the Stampede, the Bebop will be so happy with Edward!"
"Vash the what?" The two brothers looked at each other, they had never heard of him. She grabbed Ed and started dragging him with more force they thought she could. They headed down the stairs into the lobby with Al following. Brosh and Ross were still playing foosball.
"Hey Ed you get yourself a girlfriend?" Brosh said sarcastically.
"She's not—"
"Why would Edward need a girlfriend Edward's a girl!" she said stopping at the table.
"Ed have you not told us something important, I was under the impression you were a boy," Ross said raising an eyebrow.
"I AM A—"
"Of coarse Edward's a girl!"
"Would you stop butting in, my name is Edward too!" he screamed frustrated. "I have no idea who this 'Vash the Stampede' is but I am not him!" She looked at him blankly for a second then smiled big.
"Ed will help Edward find Vash then!" she took his arm and fiddled with it more. Then she dragged him out of the room skipping.
"Poor Ed always being dragged about by girls," Al said stroking his nonexistent armor chin. He was then surprised by Edward running back in and dragging him out. The guard at the gate gave them a weird look when he saw them coming back through. Ed over her shoulder and practically was dragging Al.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&NOW TIME FOR ROY AND COMPANY
After about 10 minutes of looking at Hughes's hundreds of pictures Roy lost his patience.
"We'll I suppose this might go on forever and I have to get ready for this dinner. Got to look good for the commanding officers," he said while walking back to the car. Riza sighed and walked up to Vash.
"Pardon my rudeness before Valenti, Valatiniz, umm you don't like to be called that do you?" she asked.
"Just Vash,"he said giving a very Vash-like smile.
"Vash then," then she said in a more serious voice "May I ask you how you got so good with shooting? I need to know my own practicing hasn't improved my shot any better."
"I haven't met that many people as good as me, but why would you need to be so good?"
"Other people study hard to be alchemists I study hard to be the best gunman I can be," she said softly.
"For what reason?"
"To protect someone so they can reach their goal," she said softening her voice more, "Will you?"
"Will he what!" Maes said popping up behind them, "Lieutenant Hawkeye are you asking him to the Dinner?"
"WHAT! Hughes Why would—"
"Ah of course I'll go with you Hawkeye!" he had his chance and Vash wasn't going to miss it. "But I must know something," he said more seriously, "will there be doughnuts at this dinner?" Maes grabbed his arm and dragged him out towards the car.
"Of course! Come on you can stay with me!" He said happily kidnapping Vash.
"This is East City Hughes," Havoc said, Maes paused.
"Right you can come with Roy and Me!"
Riza looked at the car being stuffed "One of us will have to ride with Falman and Fuery."
"I'll go!" said Breda running away at the speed of light. Finally I can get away from the Dogs!
"This will be great! When was the last time you went out Hawkeye!" said Hughes pushing Vash in the car.
"Don't push it Hughes," she whispered "I'm doing this so he'll teach me how to shoot better."
"Ha like you could get any better!"
"He shot three bullets with the sound of one, if I could shoot even close to that—"
"What would you do?" he slid into the back seat with Havoc and Vash. "Hey Mister you can use one of my suits that I packed extra!" Riza sighed and got into the drivers seat. Roy gave her a confused look, she just shrugged.
She first dropped Havoc off at his apartment. Then drove to Roy's Apartment. The car had been silent for a while until Vash broke the surface.
"Umm so what do each of you do in the army?" Roy was the first to reply.
"I'm Colonel Roy Mustang, currently stuck here in East city," he said leaning on the door.
"And the flame Alchemist don't forget that Roy!" Said Hughes.
"And what do you do?"
"I'm Meas Hughes, Lieutenant colonel head of Investigations Division at Central HQ, but what I'm proud of is how lovely my little daughter Elysia is!" He was about to take out more pictures.
"For gods sake Hughes put those away!"
"What about you Miss Hawkeye?"
"First Lieutenant Hawkeye, my job is to keep the Colonel here on task. Otherwise he would be procrastinating washing windows or rearranging the coffee beans in the kitchen or…" she gave Roy the eye "he would be out finding new girlfriends or stealing Havoc's." Roy just shrugged the truth is the truth.
She pulled up to the curb in front of the colonel's house. The two buffoons got out talking about the dinner. She looked at them shaking her head.
"You are going to have your hands full tonight Hawkeye," Roy commented getting out of the car, "well at least this play is supposed to last a quarter of the time," he walked up the stairs waving his hand "See you tonight."
Great now what am I going to do; I'm going to a dinner with a lunatic.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&SAMURAI TIME
"Did we eat something weird?"
"Is that all you think about Fuu? We had no money so we had no food."
"Oh right, Jin what do you think happened."
"This could be a trick our minds are playing on us, but for some reason it seems real." Jin was sitting calmly by the pond, while Fuu was still holding Momo jumping at every car that went by and Mugen was examining a mailbox after seeing someone put their mail in it. People walking on the sidewalk were giving these three wide berths.
After about 4 o'clock a black car stopped in front of them and a short man hopped out of it. He was wearing a yellow suit with a purple shirt and shoes, he walked up to them smiling big.
"There you are Madame! On behalf of the military and the EC Theater Company let me welcome you to East city! I thank you for your quick approach to the rescue." He kissed her hand "Both the main star and her understudy fell off the stage earlier today when a acrobat lost control and flipped into the chorus and like that both were injured so we called on you! Now let's go!
"Hey Mister I—," Fuu started but the man started to urge her into the car. Mugen and Jin came over and stood in their way.
"Oh who are these men Prima Donna, They look like your trainer and Make-up artist." He surveyed them head to toe.
"Hey who are you calling a make-up artist?" Jin said.
"They're my bodyguards," Then Momo hopped out of her kimono, "and this is Momo. So then where are we going?"
"To the grand hall at Headquarters, I'm quite glad you're already in costume. Our seamstresses did not know if they had enough time to make your kimono. I also see your body-guards are in costume I suppose you want them on the stage with you, I think I can have the director block them in." Fuu stepped into the car.
"This is exactly why she gets kidnapped," Mugen whispered to Jin. The man turned and gestured for them to get in and he hopped into the front seat by the driver.
"Take us back to the base please, and lady flower here is your script." He put a large hundred page script into her lap.
"And what do I do with this?" she asked looking at the front page titled Red Geranium Samurai.
"Learn it silly, I already wrote your blocking in it. The director and I were very lucky to get an actress of your caliber to come and be our star on such short notice. Your legendary memorizing skills reach the theater buffs even here!" The man said still grinning from ear to ear.
"Actress?" she mumbled to herself, "Do I get paid?" She said out of curiosity I always knew I would be a star! Boy is this world weird but it does have something right!
"Of course you do! The King Fuhrer himself will be signing the check for 50,000sens himself.
"50,000sens?" Mugen said what the hell is a sen?
"Is that not enough Mademoiselle I'm sure he would raise it!" he said his grin disappearing.
"Well—."
"Yes the price is Adequate," said Jin then he whispered, "Anything with 50,000 in it is good and you still have to do the job."
